[00:00] hello all (again) [00:00] any ideas on doing a free (gobuntu style) with intrepid? [00:00] jedimindlappy: hmmm that is odd... [00:00] But I will take the easy fix for now until I can nail down how to use Terminal [00:00] BLZ: could it be because im connected wirelessly? i dont see why that should matter though [00:01] gnufs: i guess the dirty hack would be to install ubuntu and remove everything you don't want [00:01] jedimindlappy: maybe that's just to configure vpn servers? i dunno [00:01] can someone help mi with compiling driver for graphic card? [00:01] me* [00:01] Until_It_Sleeps: oh you'll definitely want to be familiar with the terminal lol [00:01] gnufs: or to do a minimal install and build up from there [00:01] BLZ: well its to connect to VPN Since all the other options are networking options as opposed to daemons... [00:02] lol [00:02] jedimindlappy: right. i really don't know [00:02] BLZ: fair enough, thanks [00:02] jedimindlappy: yeah np [00:02] skinofstars1, BLZ: there is a way to do a free and complete install with ubuntu hardy [00:02] anyone else have any ideas on why i cant seem to add a VPN connection? [00:02] what happened to that? [00:02] can someone help me with compiling driver for graphic card? x) === CarlFK1 is now known as CarlFK [00:03] nemp: what kind of graphic card do you have [00:03] gnufs: then do the hardy install and then upgrade it [00:03] via chrome9 [00:03] i have openchrome driver [00:03] but i have trouble compiling [00:03] !repeat | nemp [00:03] nemp: 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 [00:04] I need to convert some html documents to plain text. I've been using html2text to convert downloaded web pages to plain text. Is there a way to use wget, w3m or lynx to download a web page as a text file? [00:04] BLZ: i'd like to know what happened to the free install option in newer releases? [00:05] but i can't find any info online [00:05] gnufs: yeah i have no idea... sorry === iTroll is now known as Guest56609 === Bllasae is now known as Bllasae-away [00:05] gnufs: They decided to keep it to the LTS releases, for now. [00:05] damn... [00:05] is there a way to get vnc to work with compiz? [00:06] yeah. I've used Windows XP for quite a long time. I've only used ubuntu for a month or 2, and even then, I still have a laptop with both versions of XP on it. [00:06] Anyone know about how much of a d/l it takes to apt-get all the KDE stuff? [00:06] this much |----------------------------------------| [00:06] gnufs: The Free Software Foundation's gNewSense project has spawned a collection of scripts which can be used to remove non-free bits from Ubuntu, however. [00:06] jedimindlappy, Wow...way cool... ;) [00:07] Yank, its not a huge amount [00:07] gnufs: Get in contact with them to get a sense of how up-to-date it is with the latest Ubuntu releases. [00:07] im guessing maybe 140 meg or something [00:07] in 8.10 in the network manager at the top i click and goto VPN Conntection > Configure VPN - and it pops up the Network Connections dialogue, except that i cant click "Add" in the VPN tab, its grayed out - all the other networking options let me Add connections .... am i missing something ? anyone want to venture a guess? [00:07] carpii, Not huge - er...ok...I'm not huge...so in relation to er...? [00:07] ryanprior: i _am_ a gNewSense user and contributor :-) [00:07] 140mb is alright...200mb is actually all right...more? Nah...not all right... [00:08] you draw the line at 200mb? [00:08] its a 100 megs just for the kde libs [00:08] <[kEvn]> can someone put about:plugins in their firefox and tell me what you have under Showkwave Flash [00:08] gnufs: Alright, you've got the idea then. :-) [00:08] jedimindlappy, I draw the line with crayons, really... [00:08] who needs help... [00:08] timob: pick me! [00:08] I need help, but this ain't the psych ward... [00:08] #join #screen [00:08] whos got issues... [00:09] timob: i cant seem to add a vpn connection [00:09] khaled, Mate, it's "/join #screen" [00:09] when i get to the network connections dialogue, under the VPN tab, Add is grayed out [00:09] Yeah, sorry about that :) [00:09] jedimindlappy: in network manager? [00:09] but its the only one, all the other connections are fine [00:09] i can add at will [00:10] i am using moblock... is there any way to use it without root access, so that it won't prompt me for root password each time i start or stop it? [00:10] does vpn have any dependencies im not aware of ? [00:10] jedimindlappy: maybe you need some extra packages ... [00:10] timob: any idea what those might be ? [00:10] jedimindlappy: whats the vpn software you are trying to connect to? [00:10] * YankDownUnder is getting decaffinated [00:10] Y'all have a good one...ciao [00:10] timob: does it matter? its some corporate one from work - no idea ; but it wont let me click on "Add" at all so i havent even gotten that far [00:11] jedimindlappy: i think there are packages for each ie, you could add the openvpn package ... [00:11] I'm about to do something dangerous that might wipe my system. My /home partition is backed up, as is my /etc folder; is there anything else I should save? If I lose everything, what would I need (in addition to /home and /etc) to recreate my system? In particular, how do I back up my list of installed programs? [00:12] trimeta: /var/log/dpkg has a log of installed packages [00:13] anyone running intrepid x64 and and have problems with a persistent search bar? I try to remove it, and every time I restart firefox, it reappears... [00:13] trimeta: get a list /usr/bin too === balrog is now known as Guest16389 [00:14] phasegen: you mean the google search bar? [00:14] trimeta, you might like to install FEBE firefox extension, so you can easily restore all your fx extensions, saved passwords etc too [00:14] timob: I'll grab that. === fprintf is now known as fprintf_ [00:15] carpii: Those are in my profile directory, aren't they? [00:15] kitche: that's the one [00:15] Which is in ~/.mozilla/firefox/whatever [00:15] I want to run an application and restrict it to just one of my CPU cores. How do I do that? [00:15] yes trimeta, but personally ive not had that much luck restoring them all properly just by copying them [00:15] carpii: Fair enough. I'll try that. [00:15] Would someone please point me to the solution of "Authentication required by wireless network". Ever since i updated my system i keep getting wireless connection authentication comming on [00:15] phasegen: hmm mine is gone once I remove it how are you trying to remove it exactly? [00:16] i looked all over but was unable to find it [00:16] <[kEvn]> can someone put about:plugins in their firefox and tell me what you have under Showkwave Flash [00:16] pudly@lapper:~$ sudo apt-get vpnc [00:16] E: Invalid operation vpnc ... what the? [00:17] jedimindlappy: forgot the install? [00:17] *facepalm* [00:17] kitche: right click on the navigation bar, click customize, and drag it into the box of goodies and off the bar [00:18] phasegen: yep mine stays away on a firefox3 restart [00:18] jedimindlappy: sign 1 of "you need a break" [00:18] anyone willing to help>? [00:18] jedimindlappy: sudo apt-get install cpnc [00:18] kitche: mine comes back every time [00:18] vpnc* [00:19] phasegen: wonder if it's a permission issue on the .firefox directory what's your permissions for the firefox directory oin your home ls -l [00:19] Is there any autofs/automount guru here ? I've got a bug with it that occurs in Ubuntu and Debian even though it seems I'm using it in a regular and simple way [00:19] [kEvn]: Shockwave Flash See: http://pastebin.ca/1320092 [00:19] Even the guys in #debian couldn't solve it, maybe you can ? [00:20] kitche: it says I own it and can edit and delete files [00:20] Orphis: state the bug :) [00:21] So JesperHansen, I'm trying to access to my Win box through Samba and autofs [00:21] <[kEvn]> usr13, thanks....weird thats exactly what i have..but my flash player won't play flash objects :( [00:21] phasegen: well something like this drwx------ for the permissions? [00:22] [kEvn]: May need java as well, not sure tho. [00:22] I've created my credential file in /etc/auto.smb.hostname and it works fine (like running mount directly and supplying the credentials option) [00:22] kitche: I even deleted the whole .mozilla directory once and logged out, logged back in, and restarted firefox to be sure... [00:22] [kEvn]: Are you current with updates? === Until_It_Sleeps is now known as Nobody [00:22] <[kEvn]> usr13, yea i've sudo apt-get update === Nobody is now known as Until_It_Sleeps [00:23] The problem is JesperHansen that ls /smb/myhost/sharename doesn't work... I've looked at the debug output but nothing seems to tell what's the problem [00:23] [kEvn]: Did you let it get behind and just caught up? [00:23] wow i cant believe i used evolution under kde for past 6 months. KMail is sooo much nicer [00:23] <[kEvn]> usr13, i just installed ubuntu yesterday... so ... [00:23] * JesperHansen hates people without a letter as the first character of an irc nick. Makes it harder to tab nick :P [00:24] [kEvn]: 8.10 ? [00:24] And weird thing, autofs works if I put a static file with the smb mapping (edited a little) [00:24] <[kEvn]> usr13, yea [00:24] Now that I've gotten rid of windows, how do I increase the size of my root partition for ubuntu? [00:24] Anyone know how to install morrowind? I'm a WINE newbie [00:24] kitche: I should note that this is a clean install as of yesterday, with all the updates... [00:24] Orphis: My brain is currently unavailable, but I am thinking [00:24] rods, just run the installer [00:25] walbert, try gparted [00:25] [kEvn]: What happens when you try to play flash video? [00:25] hi, I am having some problems with getting aircrack to work [00:25] Carpii you mean the autorun when it starts? [00:25] [kEvn]: What happens when you try to play youtube video? [00:25] <[kEvn]> usr13, the object does not appear on the page [00:25] rods, or find the setup.exe yes [00:25] k [00:25] <[kEvn]> usr13, as if the actual
containing the object is filtered out [00:25] [kEvn]: Does it give an error? Or just blank white space where the video should be playing? [00:26] hi.. will I have to upgrade my ubuntu version to have the new KDE? [00:26] <[kEvn]> usr13, well the page collapes around where the
object should be === Bryan is now known as hakr [00:26] looking for a lightweight mp3 player, any suggestions? rhythm box is locking up on me (5000+ mp3s, older pc) [00:26] <[kEvn]> usr13, is it possible to reinstall firefox? [00:26] <[kEvn]> usr13, or that wouldn't help? [00:26] Orphis: will try something when kernel compile is done [00:27] can anyone help with a technical problem? [00:27] <[kEvn]> usr13, maybe its just a ubuntu v10 thing [00:27] hi is the logitech audiohub has any problems in using with ubuntu ? This is because i am thinking of buying one [00:27] Hello everybody. How I do in order to get my Ekiga SIP VoIP working with pulseaudio? [00:27] are there any gpu accelerated programs available for ubuntu [00:28] noon, I use mpd and an mpd client :) [00:28] [kEvn]: I had a friend that was behind on updates that reported similar behaviour. She was running 8.04 and was behind on updates. I told her to catch up, and it did not help. She upgraded to 8.10 and that fixed it. She didn't even need to install flash, was already working. === ScottG is now known as ScottG489 [00:28] I have a Via processor in my netbook which has 1.2Ghz, but Ubuntu only uses 599Mhz and says its 100% [00:29] <[kEvn]> usr13, so you're saying that if we were friends my problem would be solved? [00:29] <[kEvn]> usr13, hehe [00:29] [kEvn]: So I do not think it is 8.10 thing. [00:29] geoffrian, it is often easier to just ask the question. Don't know if I can help until I know what you need :) [00:29] <[kEvn]> usr13, hmm k i'll just keep trying stuff..its not the end of the world [00:29] geoffrian: try cat /proc/cpuinfo and see what it says there [00:29] geoffrian, seems I was late in my response [00:29] or if you were a chick [00:29] [kEvn]: Yes, that is correct. All of my friends have perfect systems. [00:29] <[kEvn]> usr13, the youtube and hulu withdrawls havn't set in yet [00:30] has anyone used and "on mount fail" type script with nfs... [00:30] im trying to build a reduntant nfs server. [00:31] i've installed xubuntu fine on my SATA drive, but when i hook up my IDE drives afterward, i can't boot into xubuntu anymore. what gives? [00:31] When can I apt-get upgrade to KDE4.2? [00:31] I started this 20 hours ago & this is what it says now: Checking for blocks (read-only test): 12999928/122095999 [00:31] fluitfries_: Sounds like a hardware issue. [00:31] I did that. It said 599Mhz [00:32] your bios thinks that the IDE drive is hda [00:32] fluitfries_: Make sure your PC is set to boot the correct drive. [00:32] matt: probably when kubuntu 9.4 comes out [00:32] they usually have an option to swap them [00:32] punto: my BIOS is set to boot the sata master with xubuntu as the first boot device. [00:32] walbert: What? No way...I don't know if I like the way this works... [00:32] does anybody use logitech audiohub with ubuntu ? [00:32] geoffrian: And you're bios info also says 1.2GHz or 599MHz? [00:33] fluitfries_: yeah, but when there's an ide present, it shows up as hda, so even if you boot from the sata one, it'll think the ide is hda [00:33] punto: how can i change that? [00:33] fluitfries_: you should check if the bios has an option to invert them, they usually do [00:33] how do i make my webcam framerate faster? is it possible? [00:33] matt: You can download/install Kubuntu 9.4 right now, it's still alpha and probably not entirely stable, but it has kde 4.2 [00:33] robertz, it is never going to be faster than it says on the box... [00:34] The BIOS says that it is a 1.2Ghz processor along with the Gnome System Monitor, but typing that code into the terminal says 599.8Mhz [00:34] fluitfries_: You may have to unplug the drives and change the grub menu list and more than likely a bunch of other stuff too. [00:34] walbert: Hmm..when is it supposed to come out? [00:34] punto: ok, i'll look again, thanks. [00:34] oh man. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr [00:34] thanks [00:34] Matt: 8.4 is 4/2008, 8.10 is 10/2008, 9.4, therefor, is 4/2009 [00:34] usr13: when i first installed linux i tried to install grub to the first boot device, but it never worked until i unplugged all the ides and just installed grub to the sata. [00:34] fluitfries_: In other words, unplug the new drives and make the changes and then plug them back in. But be suer and take a snapshot of the current configuration to see what needs to be done. [00:34] walbert: sO NOT MUCH LONGER...I'LL WAIT! [00:35] geoffrian: I am thinking it was just a fluke [00:35] fluitfries_: That's interesting. [00:35] usr13: is there a way i can just reinstall grub from the xubuntu cd without reinstalling everything? [00:36] usr13: that way i could try putting it on all the drives until i find one that works. :P === Hunt_e107 is now known as hacker_web [00:36] fluitfries_: Well, you may only need to boot from a live boot CD and fix grub. [00:36] The gnome applet CPU Freq Scaling Monitor says 599Mhz. That is when I first discovered it [00:37] usr13: ok, so if i boot off the live cd, i can use the gui to manage grub? [00:37] fluitfries_: You may have a hardware issue. Something configured wrong, jumper in wrong place, defective hardware, etc. [00:38] JesperHansen: It's confusing why Ubuntu doesn't use the full power. [00:38] usr13: possibly, but i'm pretty sure it's not that. i haven't tinkered with it enough to declare a hardware issue, since i don't even know how to reinstall/manage grub. :) [00:38] fluitfries_: Try the recovery option and look at the situation, see that all the drives are accessable and what order they are in and how they are named, etc and just go from there. [00:38] nothing in topic about kde 4.2 ? [00:39] usr13: recovery, ok will give it a shot. thanks! [00:39] fluitfries_: Try the recovery option and look at the situation, see what is different. [00:39] Hello everyone [00:39] geoffrian: does the Via processor scale speed? [00:39] !kde4.2 [00:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about kde4.2 [00:39] The Via website says it does. [00:39] !kde4 [00:39] kde4 is KDE 4.1.3 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. Packages can be found at http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1.3 | 4.2 Beta 2 packages http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2-beta-2 | Support in #kubuntu [00:39] Ubuntu does not support it though, or I have the wrong kernel. [00:41] JesperHansen: Maybe there is a system library I need or a different kernel or something else...? [00:41] I am having weird problems in firefox. for some reason my search button in google wont click and my back button has disappeared [00:42] geoffrian: uhmmm... can you pastebin your entire cpuinfo? [00:43] i need a working link for 8.04.1 alternate amd64 [00:43] question: where does gnome-mount mount things? I have mounted an iso to install something, but it is a script that should be ran from the commandline, and i can only see it in nautilus [00:43] all the ones on the site are 404ing for me [00:43] Sure. I'll IM you. [00:45] JesperHansen: Did you get it? [00:45] Hey, I am wondering how to expand my linux partition. [00:46] geoffrian: yes, left a comment [00:46] geoffrian: gotta check something though with my statement [00:47] =p [00:47] Hi! any way to make firefox display the page as it's loading, instead of waiting for everything to load before displaying the page? [00:47] can i suspend and resume from a file? [00:48] revil i think mine does display while its waiting [00:48] revilodraw: please try irc.mozilla.org #firefox [00:48] JesperHansen: they are asleep [00:49] revilodraw: really? [00:49] Does anyone know how to fix flash issues with firefox in ubuntu 8.10 [00:49] JesperHansen: my mistake, ubuntu #firefox are asleep [00:49] is there a decent little gui app for mounting ntfs? [00:50] revilodraw: try the official irc server. They'll know. [00:50] revilodraw, its on irc.mozilla.org [00:50] revilodraw: I would know because I hang out there :P [00:50] hi [00:51] hi... i read that ubuntu has teamed up with arm to bring a fully functional version of ubuntu to "low power" devices. would this include any telephony stuff, so ubuntu could be used as a replacment for windows mobile? [00:51] JesperHansen: thank you [00:51] there is an ubuntu mobile edition [00:52] is t hat like a "windows mobile edition"? [00:52] hey all [00:52] where the only thing in common with the main product is the name [00:52] I have a disc that I am trying to copy [00:53] I am using brasero burning utility, and it recognizes the original disc as a DVD-RAM disc.... does this mean that if I want to copy it, I have to copy it to a DVD-RAM? Or can I use a regular DVD+R? [00:54] depends what your trying to copy [00:58] Bizzeh: alright... thank you [00:58] Damn, theres none fan controller / overclock controller on Ati drivers : < [00:59] Hi, my linksys usb wireless card isin't being recognized (on) by ubuntu, when I go suid lsfw -C it shows that it's disabled, and when I lsusb the wifi card is there it just isin't turned on, does anybody know the command line to turn my wifi card on? [00:59] is this where I can get help? [00:59] !ask [00:59] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [01:00] E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic_2.6.27-7.16_i386.deb: unable to make backup link of `./boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic' before installing new version [01:01] woudl it hose my system if i used the 64 bit kernel on a 32bit setup of ubuntu? [01:02] does anyone know how can i pick which files to download using rtorrent if the torrent has lots of files? [01:02] letalis, I have no idea, but I would guess it can't be done [01:02] Simply because don't all the applications have to be 64 bit? [01:02] but maybe I'm wrong, I have no idea [01:03] i just noticed even a 32 bit setup of ubuntu has the lib64 folder, i wasnt sure if perhaps it could be doe or not since it appears to have the environment setup for it.

[01:55] <_Vi_> I hear 4.2 rocks [01:55] yeah maybe 4.2 is better, I havent tried it yet [01:55] phorensic: no nothing new has been done, it just randomly stopped working [01:55] hey there I had another crash. having just upgraded to 8.10 with nasty gnome problems, I need to revert back to 8.04. Would it work to change the sources.list to show HardHeron instead of Intrepid entries? and perhaps run it with apt-get isntead of graphically? [01:55] but i just dont like the direction its heading in personally [01:55] phorensic: i had it working just fine before shutdown last night, teh thing is i didnt properly shut down i just closed my monitor (laptop) [01:55] with all the plasma crap [01:55] thomas1978c, I don't know if it will work, but it's worth a try [01:55] !downgrade [01:55] Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system.

I didnt realise it removed the ability to run kde 3.5, so maybe im a bit biased right now :p [01:57] sweetgum: you could try booting from a livecd and rm -rf'ing everything but /home, and reinstall from there. no guarantees though [01:57] how do i get to edc modprobe options?

[01:58] prolly the most difficult distro ive tried [01:58] how do I find out which version of ubuntu am I running? [01:58] whats the gtk sudo thing everyone tells me about? [01:58] ConstantineXVI: is that the literal command? [01:58] Thanks, cbwcjw [01:58] carpii: Im 15, so I really wish I was alive for some of this stuff. My first thing was win 98 :( [01:58] jtaji : mmm- our router is not as good as that [01:58] sweetgum: Jack_Sparrow is a wizzard so listen to what he tells you ;-) [01:58] can anyone help me make a shell script? [01:58] !gksu | binarymutant [01:58] binarymutant: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [01:58] is that in the text editor or terminal? [01:58] it results in a loopback issue [01:58] thomas1978c, gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options [01:58] phorensic Thanks for the compliment, but I am winding down for the day [01:58] sweetgum: yes, and make sure you've mounted your HD first. and BE TOTALLY SURE WHAT YOU'RE DELETING before hitting enter [01:59] i cant ssh remotely to my linux box; it's on, it can be pinged, & it's not a firewall issue; what do i do >.> [01:59] how can I downgrade from 8.10 to 8.04? I have this asus video card S3 something so I need to go back to 8.04 [01:59] phorensic: im very much so listening :) just waiting for an answer [01:59] disappearedng: system - about ubuntu [01:59] rafase282 Join the right room bash, python, java C etc, [01:59] thanks === Bllasae is now known as Bllasae-Away [01:59] calliope, you cant. I wouldnt even try personally [01:59] <_Vi_> !away > Bllasae-Away [01:59] Bllasae-Away, please see my private message [01:59] <_Vi_> gotcha [01:59] <_Vi_> ;) [01:59] sweetgum Do you have a usb or removeable drive to use as backup of /home so you can nuke the rest === Guest73961 is now known as jackal [02:00] binarymutant: # Enable double-buffering so gstreamer et. al. work [02:00] options quickcam compatible=2 [02:00] # Default hostap to managed mode [02:00] options hostap_pci iw_mode=2 [02:00] options hostap_cs iw_mode=2 [02:00] # Stop auto-association. [02:00] thomas1978c: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:00] hey hey hey! 4.2 just finished. Restart time. [02:00] how can i get windows xp to see my drives on the local network [02:00] !paste > thomas1978c [02:00] thomas1978c, please see my private message [02:00] <_Vi_> good luck cbwcjw :) [02:00] hey is there a way to upgrade my ubuntu from 8.04 to 8.10? [02:00] sweetgum: yeah, a backup would be a Really Good Idea just in case [02:00] thomas1978c, you dont need to pastebin it === jackal is now known as Guest38105 [02:00] thomas1978c, just add this line: [02:00] carpii well perhaps I go to the shell to use apt-get to uninstall the gnome desktop and then install an early gnome desktop [02:00] has anyone used the Windows wireless driver tool before? [02:00] sweetgum: He says that you can copy your home folder and be pretty safe, there are some items that don't install there i think. I wish I knew a little more aboutlooking through the logs to see if your screens are crashing or whatever [02:00] disappearedng yes, easy.. open synaptic and look top right for upgrade icon [02:00] disappeared, run sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [02:00] i have sda2-ext2 and sda5 - ext3. I want to combine them. can i? [02:00] thomas1978c, options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=1 [02:00] david_: Yes. [02:00] Jack_Sparrow: I do, how can i access these files, from the terminal? [02:01] carpii so perhaps install over top with a cd for 8.04 [02:01] sweetgum livecd or from a terminal will work but up to you [02:01] <_Vi_> cbwcjw: i will wait for your results before trying 4.2 [02:01] cbwcjw, Ok I just added my driver it there and it said hardware found, but when I click configure netwrok it says it cannot [02:01] Jack_Sparrow I don't see it [02:01] david_: Restart after adding. [02:01] calliope, maybe, although I dont know whether yu can install over top. I did it earlier today and ended up reformatting [02:01] gotcha brb thank you [02:01] ok i added, now do i close? [02:01] binarymutant: [02:01] Jack_Sparrow: thakn you kind sir, off i go [02:01] thomas1978c, ya save and close [02:02] night all [02:02] thomas1978c, then reboot and see if it worked [02:02] Jack_Sparrow, actually, what I'm trying to do is delete a number of partitions, including the /home partition, and then create new partitions, including a new /home partition [02:02] is that it? [02:02] calliope, backup your home dir, you may well be thankful you did :p [02:02] restart? [02:02] i cant ssh remotely to my linux box; it's on, it can be pinged, & it's not a firewall issue; what do i do [02:02] do you have ssh enabled, D3RGPS31 ? [02:02] ok, ill be back, thanks binarymutant. sorry for flooding you all. i wont do that again. * [02:02] <_Vi_> D3RGPS31: is it on a router? [02:03] James_A yes [02:03] thomas1978c, tell me if it worked [02:03] i will [02:03] gimme 2 minutes === Guest38105 is now known as jackal [02:03] and I missed him..... [02:03] Indeed, D3RGPS31 are you using a router? [02:04] If so, is it properly configured for SSH traffic forwarding? [02:04] _Vi_: yes, but a test site can be seen remotely [02:04] <_Vi_> routers are a necessary evil [02:04] <_Vi_> ah [02:05] What do you mean when you say a "test site can be seen remotely"? [02:05] carpii: Do you recommend having your home directory on a seperate partition? [02:05] <_Vi_> yeah just cause you get a website test page "IT WORKS!" doesnt meant ssh will work [02:05] yes phorensic [02:05] _Vi_: i,m typing on a dvorak keyboard, i'll be slow [02:05] <_Vi_> no hurry D3RGPS31 [02:06] Hi - anyone know where desktop wallpapers are stored? I want to copy one from Xubuntu 8.0.4 to Ubuntu 8.0.4. . . [02:06] then if you need to reinstall, you can fetch everything you need from the repos and keep your settings [02:06] phorensic: didn't work. [02:06] carpii: So most packages you installed would be available to you if you mounted this on another system? [02:06] what package provides nfs support in fstab ? [02:06] James_A: a site hosted on the computer [02:06] #How do I install nvidia-glx-173 from apt without uninstalling xorg? I mean like this: http://pastebin.com/m549450a6 [02:06] phorensic, yes, [02:06] asd: did you see your device listed? [02:07] phorensic, although on another system you might need to fetchthem again from the repo [02:07] how can i get windows xp to see my ext3 drive on the local network [02:07] etix, share it with samba [02:07] carpii: what about stuff such as mysql and phpmyadmin and such.. different?? [02:07] Peddy, did you hit y ? [02:07] Just because you can access the computer via the HTTP protocol doesn't mean that SSH is forwarded correctly. Are you sure you've setup SSH forwarding D3RGPS31? [02:07] phorensic, well im not sure mysql would keep its database in your home dir. You probably should have additional backup routines for those [02:08] James_A: no' but all ports are open [02:08] what is samba? [02:08] carpii: I see, if only I knew about this kind of thing [02:08] 3rd party app? [02:08] One moment, D3RGPS31 === elpinchazo is now known as Kanogeni [02:08] phorensic, well its just things you learn through trial and error i guess [02:09] i added lines to my fstab for my ntfs device, but it's not auto mounting. how can i mount it? [02:09] phorensic, personally id always backup all files to another machine before reinstalling. you can guarantee youll forget something if you backup dirs and then format [02:09] carpii: I think a lot of it is being aware of things [02:09] binarymutant: still there? [02:09] <_Vi_> D3RGPS31: i'd google "Shields Up!" and see if port 22 is open or not [02:09] How do I add highlighting schemes to vim? The page tells me to put them in ~/.vim/colors, but that dir doesn't exists and It's giving me doubts. [02:09] guess what? [02:09] r0b0t, just create the dir [02:09] Hi there, I added a second user to my system using useradd but when I switch to that user (su username) the command line is all messed up, despite having the same .bashrc file, and things just seem .... off. Did I forget to do something else after adding the user? My main admin account doesnt have much modifications [02:09] no sound still [02:09] thomas1978c, :( [02:10] carpii: And do I invoke the .vim file with colorscheme NAME? [02:10] <_Vi_> R0b0t1: you create the missing directory [02:10] thomas1978c, best thing to do would be file a bug report now sorry :/ [02:10] i think this machine is too new and doesnt have support yet [02:10] carpii: Of only there was a good way to clone your system, even better clone it so that you could install from that onto another computer and have the same setup [02:10] i know, ugh [02:10] Is there support on Ubuntu for wireless-n cards by linksys? [02:10] <_Vi_> VIM also has /home/R0bot1/.vim/plugins too R0b0t1 yo uhave to make it though [02:11] is there any thing new in 8.04 lts that was not in 8.04 [02:11] i came here because thats what i feared and now that ive had someone with linux skill give it a shot, i now know that im screwed.:( [02:11] linuxman410: no everything in 8.04 is the same as 8.04 [02:11] phorensic, yes i agree. there may well be a way, I dont know, but im not an expert [02:11] i have 8.01 [02:11] id like to know if there was, too [02:11] just thought i would ask [02:11] <_Vi_> there is no 8.01, you mean 8.10 [02:11] Is there a color-picking utility for Ubuntu? [02:12] linuxman410: 8.04=8.04 [02:12] does 8.04 have supprot for hps new line of laptops??? anyone? [02:12] Vi: I failed, I updated, just not to KDE 4.2. Installing THAT now. [02:12] <_Vi_> cbwcjw: ok keep me posted,,,,ummmm im on 8.04 will that matter? [02:12] i really would like to hear my new laptop. ;(sniff sniff... [02:12] linuxman410: did you really mean 8.04 and 8.10? [02:12] vi: eek. Yea. The packages are for jaunty and intrepid only I think :( [02:13] <_Vi_> i havent had time to read up on that site you gave me cbwcjw [02:13] <_Vi_> oh [02:13] hey im having a problem, i have to use the command pci=nomsi for ubuntu to even run how to i enter that so i dont have to do it everytime? [02:13] thomas1978c, whats the model of that laptop just so I know? [02:13] thomas1978c: what I probably try the live version of is !eee [02:13] !eee [02:13] Information about installing Ubuntu on an Asus EeePC can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC === Bllasae-Away is now known as Bllasae [02:13] thomas1978c: Did u go through the different audio options? [02:13] <_Vi_> cbwcjw: ill put it in a Vbox! :) [02:13] binarymutant: its an hp pavilion dv4-1220us [02:13] _Vi_: Haha! Ok. [02:13] thomas1978c: though I think they changed the name to easy peasy -- try out the live version first. [02:14] binarymutant: of 8.0f [02:14] 8.04* [02:14] does anyone know how to do it? [02:14] thomas1978c: Yes I know it says Asus but they are trying to tailor the distribution to work well on all laptops. [02:14] aaasd: i am too unfamiliar with linux to know. [02:15] How can I restrict a user account to only their home dir, and not be able to browse around anything else [02:15] ? [02:15] yes asus sucks, i know [02:15] I'm trying to enable the cups web interface across any machine on the local network... here's the cupsd.conf file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/110612/ what am I missing? [02:15] i have 2 sli boards of theirs that have failed because of defective bios [02:15] anyone know what i need to edit so i dont have to run pci=nomsi everytime i want to run ubuntu? [02:15] I believe I have an issue with dbus/hal. Anyone good at troubleshooting those issues? http://paste.ubuntu.com/110625/ for my .xsession-errors [02:15] thomas1978c: the neat thing about ubuntu and most of all its variants is the ability to test the live version before install (That version is supposed to run most laptops) [02:16] ubuntu__: systems -> Preferences -> settings [02:16] ubuntu__: systems -> Preferences -> sessions *** [02:16] ubuntu__: that's a boot loader kernel option [02:16] redvamp: i did test it through vista first, everything worked fine [02:16] im in the live cd now [02:16] thomas1978c, might be fixed in the next upgrade, but here's a link to what I'm seeing https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller [02:16] can i change the main filesystem [02:17] Excuse me, ubuntu users, i have a quick partition question, i was wondering if A.I could allocate more HDD space to the partition in which Ubuntu is currently on? [02:17] thomas1978c: here is the wiki about easy peasy -- Main Page - Easy Peasy wiki [02:18] binarymutant: as you can see my model is not on that bug report list? any ideas? [02:19] Kidfork: probably, you'll need to research resizing file systems and resizing partitions [02:19] redvamp: will i still be able to load programs like vmware and pcanywhere on that version using wine? [02:19] thomas1978c, you can add that model to the list :) Maybe try the work arounds on that page not sure. [02:19] binary: hahahahahha [02:19] yup [02:20] thomas1978c: Its the sound not working right? Have you tried booting a live cd? If the live cd picks up on it then its possible and start comparing configurations, if not I'd submit the bug reports, hit the mailing lists, and keep searching google with different keywords while you wait on responses. [02:20] how would i edit the settings fro ma live cd to make ubuntu boot with the boot option pci=nomsi [02:20] Good evening! Anyone know an easy way (I'm a newbie to Ubuntu/Linux) to conver .aa files to .mp3? I have legally downloaded the aa file but the darn Audible Program will not recognize my MP3 player in Ubuntu (it will in Windows, but I want to be able to do what I want to do with my Ubuntu machine) [02:21] powertool: the live cd worked just fine. [02:21] i have the pulseaudio outlet at the top of my screen [02:22] binarymutant, pressing y uninstalls xserver-xorg. [02:22] thomas1978c, the live-cd had sound? [02:22] yes it did [02:22] thats why im so confused [02:22] that changes everything [02:22] thomas1978c: Then I'd boot into it, take notes on modules loaded and anything else related to audio which may be of use then compare to your settings. [02:22] this is killing me [02:22] Hi ALL [02:22] does anyone here use wbar? [02:22] ok, thats going to take a while [02:22] i guess ill do it all again [02:23] but there has to be another option [02:23] I am trying to install KDE in my Ubuntu laptop, and Synaptic is telling that it is necessary to uninstall Quanta, which I use for programming. Whay is this happening? [02:23] _Vi_: Its done :D Restarting it now. Sorry if I miss you, im in #kubuntu as well x_x [02:23] thomas1978c: my sound was muted by default after install. [02:23] thomas1978c: Ya, but if the live cd has audio then its a configuration problem and not a lack of support problem. [02:23] fluitfries: my volume is cranked, [02:23] thomas1978c: just went into the mixer and played with the switches. [02:23] right [02:24] thomas1978c: not volume, mute switches. separate controls on the mixer bro. [02:24] can anyone help me mount a nfs share in fstab please.... http://pastie.org/372838 [02:24] thomas1978c: Also see if you can play sound with sudo, I'm currently working on a laptop that plays with root privileges but non-root users can't. [02:24] powertool: thats what im saying, im too much of a linux noob to know what im doing [02:24] MikyMouse just continue with the install then reinstall quanta [02:24] root______, but is there any reason for this? [02:24] thomas1978c, pull up a terminal and do alsamixer, are there are [M] at the bottom? [02:25] * IceGuest_75_ says bye to all [02:25] powertool:i know that pulseaudio is part of the problem [02:25] How do I turn off the terminal bell in ubuntu 8.10? (Its changed from 8.04) [02:25] thomas1978c: Well I haven't had too many sound related issues so I probably can't help much. [02:25] MikyMouse yes conflicting deps [02:25] thomas1978c: Try removing it and use alsa? [02:25] i use alsa on my audigy. [02:26] ubuntu set it all up fine there was just one switch i had to hit in the mizer. [02:26] binary: this isnt much text, is it ok if i paste it on here? [02:26] mixer [02:26] thomas1978c, ? [02:26] thomas1978c, text for what? [02:26] pschulz01, are you talking about the system speaker? [02:26] ALSA lib pulse.c:272:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused [02:26] alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: Connection refused [02:26] root______, and what is the diference of installing KDE or starting from scratch with Kubuntu? [02:26] Hi! I was wondering where the appropriate place to report a bug with deleting files off the desktop in Ubuntu is? gnome-desktop[-environment], metacity? [02:26] binarymutant: see? [02:27] Logging into a ttyl, I get "You have new mail". What is the file that stores this info, so I can rm it? [02:27] !launchpad | aresnick: [02:27] aresnick:: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [02:27] MikyMouse kde and kubuntu-desktop are both meta packages that depend on a lot of packages (mostly kde stuff) but their dependancies are quite different. [02:27] BLACKthroat: This is on a laptop.. but probably.. yes. It used to be in System->Sounds [02:27] thomas1978c, that was for alsamixer? [02:28] !launchpad | aresnick [02:28] aresnick: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [02:28] ubottu: Yep, I meant more along the lines of which package on Launchpad. [02:28] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:28] binarymutant: yes. [02:28] does anyone know how i would install ubuntu onto a raid 5 software raid (specifically grub) ? [02:28] ubottu: I see =) [02:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about I see =) [02:28] Is anyone here technically skilled enough to assist with dbus/hal/networkmanager troubleshooting? [02:28] ok, if I want to save the contents of an entire partition to cd, what app would I want to use for that? [02:28] MikyMouse the kde package will pull in all of the pure kde apps while the kub.*top file will pull in all the kubuntu specific packages but not all the kde stuff [02:28] aresnick: though if you sign into launchpad you can post it in the main and also add keywords to your bug -- [02:29] dmsuse: you want to boot a software raid5? [02:29] binarymutant:ive tried using an exterior stereo headphone jack too. just to see if i had output [02:29] what is the command to create an ext4 filesystem? [02:29] root______, so am I doing well installing the KDE meta package? [02:29] thomas1978c, you said some pulseaudio thing running? [02:29] mkfs.ext4 [02:29] binarymutant: yes [02:29] redvamp128: I see; OK, I was just posting the bug on launchpad and I realized I didn't know what the most appropriate package was. [02:29] thomas1978c, like an icon or something? [02:29] revamp128: Thanks! [02:29] binary: its an applet [02:29] Aspire: well from searching google most people say that is not possible... so i was wondering if there was an alternative? [02:29] MikyMouse that falls under the heading of "personal openion" as for mine yes. [02:29] yes [02:29] thomas1978c, destroy it, kill it, quit it [02:30] aresnick: Bugs in Ubuntu [02:30] 'ning all, Can anyone help me with scponly? I'm trying to use it to chroot scp/sftp users into their home directories but its inconsistent (sometimes it lets me login, other times it disconnects me immediately) http://paste.ubuntu.com/110629/ [02:30] thomas1978c, then try [02:30] root______, ok, thanks [02:30] ok, i quit the applet [02:30] now what? [02:30] try alsamixer again [02:30] binary: ok trying\ [02:30] aresnick: though one thing to note-- the site gets heavy traffic and at times will seem like it don't load -- but it does-- [02:30] thomas1978c, same error? [02:30] c.linux.org [02:30] pschulz01, i have been trying to figure that out as well. let me know if you do and i'll do the same [02:31] BLACKthroat: ;-) Ta. [02:31] MikyMouse if you want the "kde" experance then install the "kde" meta package, if you want the "kubuntu" experance, then install the "kubuntu-desktop" package. it's really just personal likes and dislikes [02:31] binary: it says the same in the terminal as last time [02:31] root______, ok [02:32] thomas1978c, k, pastebin the output from this command: ps aux [02:32] BLACKthroat: ..also.. when opening the 'Volume Control' there is the chiose of several different devices.. what does this mean?

[02:34] Louis browser http://ip.of.remote.host:631 [02:34] binarymutant:http://pastebin.com/m242331b4 [02:34] Louis of course cups has to be listenint on that box and the port can't be blocked [02:35] s=listenint=listening= [02:35] root______ right. I'm trying to do this via the local netowrk, but the cupsd.conf file isn't allowing it. I don't know which parameter to change [02:36] Louis ummm i think there is a #cupsys or #cups channel here on freenode [02:36] i haven't messed with cups in a while.

[02:48] hello [02:48] can someone help me with a broadcom card? [02:48] where it the repos? [02:48] binarymutant, after typing that, what do I do?

I hate the text document opened now after typing it. What do I do? [02:52] binarymutant, I ment that I have the text document opened. not hate. Sorry [02:52] shizumasa14, :) [02:52] shizumasa14, did it work? I think I gave you the wrong file name [02:52] binarymutant: i think im going to officemax and trading this one in for something that takes linux with sound. [02:52] russ5811 iirc. the controls are a little misleading, in that, mic boost or powered (which ever it says) means that if that is "on" it expects the mic to have it's own power amp. quite backwards to what one might think. [02:53] thomas1978c, :/ sorry [02:53] ill see if i can find some kind of fix [02:53] whats the command to get the ms fonts? [02:53] binarymutant, well it opened at text document called: bitlbee.conf (/etc) - gedit [02:53] binarymutant: im going to give it up for the night [02:53] russ5811 i.e. turning mic boost off may make it more sensitive [02:54] before i go: does anyone know aof a version of linux that will be supported on my laptop? [02:54] shizumasa14, copy and paste everything into http://paste.ubuntu.com [02:54] thomas1978c, it might be fixed in a newer kernel [02:54] russ5811 ah and "capture" up ? [02:55] thomas1978c, so if your on a LTS I would upgrade to the newest [02:55] binarymutant: im currently on 8.01, is 8.04 out ?? [02:55] thomas1978c, I dunno whats the name of it? Ibex? [02:55] in talking about ubuntu [02:55] thomas1978c, hardy? [02:55] Binarymuthnt: whats hardy? [02:56] russ5811 just revisited alsamixer and yes mic boost needs to be off/muted if you don't have an amplified mic [02:56] binarymutant, This is what I got: [02:56] shizumasa14, copy and paste everything into http://paste.ubuntu.com [02:56] binarymutant: what is hardy? [02:57] Okay, once I do that then what? [02:57] #join #perl [02:57] thomas1978c, nm there's going to be a upgrade soon to ubuntu, you could try that.

Your boot device is usually managed by grub or lilo. These do not support reading linux software raid devices. However, you can use a usb boot stick or similar to get into an early boot environment that ubuntu could use to start up the software raid 5 and finish booting. Essentially its a similar problem to the encrypted root partition [03:04] asd what is model [03:04] russ5811 welcome [03:04] binarymutant: pm?

[03:26] linux_guy: So, the only thing I can think of is to reload the module when that happens [03:26] root______: my pgrep is better than your pidof :P [03:27] laughyn1nj4: though after you kill firefox and restart it -- it will ask you to clear again and then the resume prompt --- (that is if you have it setup to clear private data upon shutdown.) [03:27] WebcamWonder, how can i reload the module? is there a terminal command i can run to jumpstart the wireless?

[03:32] root______: I think what is missing is the **** (module name) [03:33] Do you know what? I've got installed Ubuntu 8.10 LiveCD (with USB Creator from CD) and I linked it with Hiren's Boot CD recovery tools :))) Now this two things I can boot from pendrive! :) :) :) [03:33] can someone tell me if it is possible to have my laptop wake up automatically from a suspend, so it can hibernate? [03:33] hi [03:33] redvamp128 "nameS" ? [03:34] un_dave: can you externally ping it? [03:34] root______: at the bottom of this page is where I got those commands from (useful commands) How To: Manual Network Configuration without the need for Network Manager - Ubuntu Forums [03:34] привет [03:34] ааааааааааааааа [03:34] mystery: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:34] Sylphid, what is the purpose of && (out of curiosity) [03:35] Aspire: not nessisarily no. [03:35] linux_guy: It executes the first command, and then the second command, if and only if the first command executed properly [03:35] люди помогите решить проблему [03:35] I am presently setting up a dhcp client and i was wondering if the "#" at begining of lines in the dhcpd.conf mean comments ? [03:35] linux_guy, && signifies that the following command will only run if the previous completed successfuly [03:35] jef_buntu: Yes [03:35] !ru | mystery [03:35] jef_buntu: usually they do, yeah [03:35] mystery: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [03:35] * Starhero is still waiting patiently for anyone that might be able to help. [03:35] can someone help me with compiz please [03:35] WebcamWonder, Sylphid, Others, THANK YOU I'll Try it [03:35] !anyone | atat [03:35] atat: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [03:35] Aspire: it's for my laptop. with windows xp, i can make it sleep, then after 30 mins, if still unwoken, wake up, and hibernate, so i dont waste all my battery in a suspend state. [03:36] ok thanks [03:36] This linux is great! :) And with toolbox from Hiren's CD... just wonderful! :) [03:36] redvamp128 yes modprobe -r is a good and useful command but i was only saying that in that particular application it will probably fail unless he lists all the modules dependant on ... didn't mean to start a cli howto proper methood argument [03:36] un_dave: I'm not aware of any feature like that for linux === eric is now known as talntid [03:37] i installed compiz every time i try to run ccsm or compiz-replace i got message that Xgl is not present or there is an unsupported value at path /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens etc what should i do and is there whay to fix it [03:37] un_dave: If Windows can do it, Linux can do it -- the question is, how deep will you have to dig to get it working? [03:37] root______: is ok -- WebcamWonder asked what the commands were to reload the module-- so I just directed him to the page and stated the command [03:38] un_dave: If the hardware feature allowing it is undocumented, it may be black magic trying to get it to work. [03:38] Aspire: neither am i so far, but the fact that windows can do it, while linux cannot, annoys me. as far as i can tell, the issue is waking up a suspended system. [03:38] !ask | Starhero [03:38] Starhero: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [03:38] atat: == First I would suggest running the compiz check to make sure comiz works.. Forlong's Blog - Compiz-Check [03:38] 2 problems in ubuntu I am still havine that i can't make sense of, flashing of the desktop(more like the whole xserver) and the notification sounds. [03:39] ryanprior: it does seem like voodoo [03:39] Sound works in everything. After getting rid of PA that is, since that really mess things up it seems. [03:39] Just that the notifications (or sound themes as you might know them) don't seems to work [03:40] ryanprior: windows xp can obviously tell the hardware to suspend for a predefined time, then wake up, whereas in linux i've not yet found any way of doing this [03:40] atat: I would start there as well as the main page which shows how to configure compiz== run the compiz check to make sure compiz is installed properly--- Forlong's Blog - Compiz-Check [03:40] I can test them, and they work just fine in the settings window, but only login and logout work. [03:40] I'VE GOT a Lucent Technologies ORiNOCO Silver 802.11b card, and If I have it plugged in at startup I go to tty1 seing this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/110644/ [03:40] Starhero the flashing is most likely related to the vidio driver. the other i haven't a clue. [03:40] un_dave: I bet windows is waking up lots more than linux is [03:40] ok thanks [03:40] I am running Hardy and checked that my kernel config has AHCI module support. How would I use that instead of the default ata_piix? [03:41] Hey, I'm having issues with my dual monitor. When the X is reset, it loads my panels on the secondary monitor, also, fullscreen apps like to start on the secondary, any fix? [03:41] Starhero: make sure that you put all your information on one line, making it easier for us to follow you. What does the screen flickering look like? Does it also flicker during boot-up (before X starts)? [03:41] Is there a way I can have a print server for ubuntu, i.e. accounting so i can tell who has printed what? === PB_G3 is now known as eSATA [03:41] are there specific drivers I need to install if I want to mount an external hdd via eSATA on Ubuntu 8.10 [03:41] un_dave: I imagine that a suspend to ram system should last hours to days on minimal battery. technically only the dram should be refreshed during this time, if you're waiting for some timer to expire, you're waking up the processor or some special logic circuit to do the calculation to wake-up [03:42] kaimerra maybe blacklist ata_piix and rebuild the initramfs ? [03:42] un_dave: If you feel like digging, mess with the WinXP driver and see what signals it sends when you suspend, then try duplicating them in the Linux driver and see what works. [03:42] un_dave: That's the black magic way to do it, anyway -- you could always email the vendor and ask if documentation is available, or could be made available, for that feature. [03:42] Anyone? [03:43] Hey, I'm having issues with my dual monitor. When the X is reset, it loads my panels on the secondary monitor, also, fullscreen apps like to start on the secondary, any fix? [03:43] ryanprior: that sounds interesting. how would i check what signals my xp system is sending the system [03:43] the old X copy to clipboard by highlighting with the mouse seems to be gone.. now it requires ^Shift C why is this and how can I get the old behavior back? [03:44] un_dave: I'm not a very knowledgeable Windows hacker, but you might find one in ##windows. [03:45] The flickering, seems to look like a refresh as in it lasts only maybe 100 to 300 milliseconds. It has no obvious cycle (not repeating in any logical order) just that is repeat between 30 seoncds to 1 min. It does not do anything like that before boot or at the login screen(least I haven't really noticed it at the login screen) The device is a nvidia 7700 GO in a Asus G1,and the drivers in use are the recomended (177). [03:46] Starhero: are you using Compiz? If so, does the flickering still happen in Metacity? [03:47] Yes I am using compiz, but what exactly is metacity and how do I test that. (assuming that it is x server with out compiz?) [03:47] Starhero: Metacity is the default, non-glitzy window manager for Gnome. To use Metacity, disable Desktop Effects in System -> Preferences -> Appearance [03:48] I have a Cool SWF File i would Like to turn into my Desktops Screen Saver... Is there a way to do this? [03:49] ninjabuntu, you can use mplayer to change video format [03:49] ryanprior: Testing that now. === IntrepidOne is now known as IdleOne [03:50] ryanprior: The flashing is still continuing. [03:51] Binarymutant: change the video Farmat? does it have an option to turn it into a Screen Saver for Ubuntu? And after that what do i do to make this my screen saver? [03:51] I think I broke udev/hal communication [03:51] Starhero: I hate to sound like a Windows help desk, but have you tried rebooting? If it were a gfx card issue, a power cycle might make a difference. [03:51] anyone know how to fix it? [03:51] Hey, I'm having issues with my dual monitor. When the X is reset, it loads my panels on the secondary monitor, also, fullscreen apps like to start on the secondary, any fix? [03:51] ninjabuntu, let me find out what screensavers use [03:51] HELP = I can't connect to network printer [03:52] Haven't been on IRC for a while... How come half of the channels on this server have two # instead of one? [03:52] Binarymutant: okay... thanks [03:52] im doing everything told on a howto install dhcp but starting dhcp always fail and the syslog they say to look at cant be found by "search file" [03:52] ryanprior: Yes, I have rebooted many times and have even shut down, this problem has been going on for 3 weeks but I just ignored it while I fixed other things that seems more system critical. Now it is just plain annoying [03:54] ninjabuntu, looks harder than I thought [03:54] Starhero, could you swap out the video card. When I changed from Nvidia to ATI everything got better [03:54] Starhero, are you using a proprietary driver? [03:55] <|Zippo|> anybody is having troubles with DVD/CD recorders on kernel 2.6.27? [03:55] Hey, I'm having issues with my dual monitor. When the X is reset, it loads my panels on the secondary monitor, also, fullscreen apps like to start on the secondary, any fix? [03:55] bobbyyg: I believe that would be impossible if not a big hassle since this is an Asus G1 laptop :) [03:55] Sylphid: I am using the restricted drivers ubuntu recommended. [03:55] Binarymutant: Yeah I figured it would... Huh [03:56] anyone? [03:56] Sylphid: Sorry for not specifiying, the drivers are version 177. [03:56] is there an app for gnome to create a keybinding that will type out whatever characters i specify? [03:56] like Win+H would print out "http://" [03:57] Binarymutant: Plus mPlayer doen't want to open the SWF file nor does media player... the only thing that opens the file with out a hitch is, firefox... [03:57] is there any reason for the packages like vlc not being the latest in Hardy eventhough it is an LTS !? [03:57] Starhero, you may want to try the vesa drivers to see if you have the same problem [03:57] ninjabuntu, oh ya and it's swf instead of flv too...wow I jumped into this conversation way too quick [03:57] is here any way to make double taskbar like in windows, so I could fit more programs here? [03:58] im doing everything told on a howto install dhcp but starting dhcp always fail and the syslog they say to look at cant be found by "search file" [03:58] Binarymutant: Bummer... i would really like this as my Screen saver... [03:58] ninjabuntu: try this http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html#mpeg [03:59] jef_buntu, right click on existing panel and say new panel [03:59] sorry it was to alien [03:59] lol I was just looking at that xscreenserver page [03:59] alien, right click on existing panel and say new panel [03:59] mplayer needs an flv to convert to mpeg but thats the way I was going [03:59] alien: Right-click on an existing panel, click "New Panel", then drag that new panel down to where you want it. [03:59] :S [04:00] sumpygump: Umm huh? Okay I'll try it... === JulianC93 is now known as JC|brb [04:01] binarymutant: the option right below mpeg describes how to get xscrensaver to launch a swf file [04:01] cyphase, yeah but it makes another panel and just repeats open programs in here [04:02] sumpygump, lol :) [04:02] I'm still having trouble configuring the cups web UI such that I can access it from a client on the local network. My cupsd.conf file is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/110652/ === JC|brb is now known as JulianC93 [04:03] Hi is there an ffmpeg channel? [04:04] alien: Ah, true that. Didn't think about that one... interesting problem. [04:04] Sylphid: I did a bit of research and finially got some results, this may be a bug thought I am using intrepid so I might be wrong. I am basing that off of the date fro the last post and the fact that it is not solved.

[04:44] is there an app for gnome to create a keybinding that will type out whatever characters i specify? [04:44] like Win+H would print out "http://" [04:44] roger_: this is weird.. did you go see the site I linked earler?

Suggestions? [04:48] My cat just walked across my keyboard and now my colors are inverted. What buttons did she hit, that I may hit them again to reverse the effect? [04:48] tozarian: there's a ton of apps included on the backtrack os which do include those types but also has a bunch of common apps: document web email. A friend actually installed it on a flash drive really cool [04:48] ok will tryout, this whole aircrack thing has been way to hard for me to understand [04:49] can somebody help me force a hard link [04:49] Good evening! I'm trying to convert some audio .aa files to .mp3 so that I can play them on my MP3 player. I legally downloaded them fine on Ubuntu using WINE but now I can't seem to convert them in ubuntu to mp3 files. Any suggestions? [04:49] Tozarian: yeah, I was assuming.. [04:49] prose: [04:49] roger_: [04:49] trimeta, super or [04:50] prose: i downloaded the .deb package [04:50] but it says wrong architecture [04:50] nickrud: Yea, looks like win+m did it. Thanks. [04:50] how can i disable the dual desktop option ? my laptop i switching betwen them all the time , making me crazy [04:50] roger_: do you have 64 bit ubuntu or something ? [04:50] She also closed my torrents...I'm not sure whether to be mad at her or impressed. [04:50] trimeta, ewwww, we never call that the key here, it's Super :) [04:51] prose: how can i check it [04:51] nickrud: Why not, it's the key I've bound to all of my window management functions. [04:51] nickrud: haha [04:51] roger_: good question! [04:51] we dont call them windows either, we call them uh ubuntus [04:51] roger_: isntalling stuff isn't usaully this complicated.. [04:51] prose : i m new to ubuntu [04:52] i cant believe that nodbody knows how to force a Hard Link :( [04:52] parrothead: Why do you want to force it? [04:52] prose: sorry if it bothered u [04:52] I need to redirects to point to the same file [04:52] roger_: I think I may have to leave this to the rest of the channel since it maybe involve taken-by-the-hand procedure and I have to sleep or I'll die [04:52] i cant think of a time ive ever wanted to use a hard link [04:52] hi [04:52] how to get c++ suntax in vim in ubuntu? [04:52] roger_: no problem, sorry I gotta sleep :P [04:52] and a symlink isnt enough [04:52] parrothead: And a symlink doesn't do the trick? They're safer. [04:52] syntax* [04:52] roger_: good luck, this shouldn't be too painful :) [04:52] prose: sweet dreams [04:52] parrothead, ln without any modifiers defaults to a hard link [04:52] well you create a symlink with ln -s [04:53] roger_: thanks you also (at the apropriate time) [04:53] so maybe a hard link without the -s ? [04:53] parrothead: Well, running the ln command without the -s modifier should do it. [04:53] i did [04:53] "hard link not allowed for directory" [04:53] nickrud : can u help me [04:53] parrothead: that's right, only files can be hard linked [04:53] well then, its telling you what the problem is [04:53] roger_, flash on 64bit? (haven't really been watching, but did catch the 'wrong architecture' line) [04:54] jtaji: so theres NO way to hard link a directory?

It hangs after it accepts my password. Suggestions? [04:56] jtaji: thanks [04:56] nickrud : i guess i have a 64 bit machine [04:56] the flash in repo sucks for 64 [04:56] u have to use beta to be stable [04:56] is there an app for gnome to create a keybinding that will type out whatever characters i specify? [04:56] like Win+H would print out "http://" [04:57] roger_, not just a 64bit machine, but a 64bit os install. I use 32bit install on my 64bit myself [04:57] attempting to use LVM, please help [04:58] ubundude: what's the problem? [04:58] nickrud: can u temme where can i get a flashplayer for a 64 bit machine?

But it's not the supported method. [04:59] u may have to make folder plugins i did [04:59] roger_: Also, you could try using the nspluginwrapper to use the 32-bit Flash plugin on your 64-bit system. [04:59] 64 one works real good [04:59] m0zone : temme the instuctions [04:59] jtaji: theres one free physical volume but i can't seem to split it into anything [05:00] roger_: On my system (a 64-bit install, flashplugin-nonfree (in the standard Universe repository) pulled in nspluginwrapper, and it works fine in Firefox. [05:00] download flash 64 beta untar click show hidden files in home folder find .firefox click it make a folder called plugins copy files into dir [05:01] open firefox and u have flash [05:01] Hey. The other day I changed my shell to rc (I was working in rc, so I just wanted to save some time and change it back once I was done), but now I can't change it back to zsh (or bash, or anything). I do chsh and choose a different shell, it shows up right in my /etc/passwd, but whenever I start up a shell, it's still rc [05:01] hey guys [05:01] ubundude: You need to make a volume group ontop of the PV. PVs go into a VG which gets split up into LVs (Logical Volumes) [05:01] Does anyone know if there's an gnome client for TOR? [05:01] jtaji: after i select "create volume group" it shows me the only current volume and i can't select it. i try pressing enter and it just says i haven't selected a volume and it aborts and brings me back to the previous menu [05:01] no wrappers or grey box's works like 32 bit [05:01] why would this be ($SHELL is also /usr/local/plan9/bin/rc)? [05:02] m0zone: The profile directory is in ~/.mozilla/firefox/.default/, at least on my computer. [05:02] Not ~/.firefox/ [05:02] trimeta i just did what betapage said [05:02] Flannel: could i get the acronym-less version of that? [05:02] m0zone : gimme a link [05:02] to get flash 64 [05:02] roger google flash 64 beta linux [05:02] ubundude: PV=physical volume. VG=volume group. LV=logical volume. [05:03] anyone know how to get vnc to start at boot, before local login. Trying to be able to login to my file server with out having to do a local login. I have done some searching and most of the guides seem to be old (2006). [05:03] hey gud day all, anyone nice enough to tell a newbie what the reverse of ripping is? see, i got a couple a mp3s i want to play on my old fashioned car cd player. thanks [05:04] dubi: Probably best to use the CD burning program to create an audio CD. [05:04] Snipes, try starting vncserver in your init.d/rc.local maybe [05:04] k [05:04] but i think it wants to start after x server starts, so maybe you need to find a kde way of doing it [05:04] or a gnome way [05:04] ubundude: easiest thing is probably to point you to this guide, but feel free to ask me again if there's something you don't understand http://linuxbsdos.com/2008/11/11/lvm-configuration-in-ubuntu-810/ [05:04] trimeta, thanks, does brasero or any of the other ones convert the mp3s automatically? [05:04] m0zone: can u temme the command to untar the file [05:04] tar xzvf filename.tar [05:04] i just clicked file [05:05] or drop the z if its not a tar.gz [05:05] dubi: I believe Brasero will convert them into a format your car CD player can use, if you select an Audio project. [05:05] how do i figure out a particular group id if i want to use the usermod command? [05:05] To phrase that in a simpler way, does anyone know how my /etc/passwd could say that zsh is my default shell, but whenever I start a shell rc comes up (with $SHELL set to rc)? [05:05] ubundude: You make LVM partitions on your physical harddrives (formatted as LVM), those are Physical Volumes. You group Physical Volumes into Volume Groups (which because 'pretend' hard drives) and then you can partition the VGs into Logical Volumes, which are akin to regular partitions (which you then format as ext3, etc) http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-lvm/ explains it in paragraphs (more importantly, with pictures) [05:05] trimeta, aight thanks man will do so now :) [05:05] dubi: No problem. [05:06] carpii I have the server setup to shoe a gui login screen. Is that not x server showing that? [05:06] Louis: What are you doing with usermod? Adding someone to groups? Changing their default group? [05:07] Flannel: YES I GOT IT, I didn't notice i had to use the spacebar to mark which volume i wanted to use. now that its selected i -think- i'm good so far [05:08] trimeta: i want to add a user to the group "lpadmin" [05:08] Flannel: actually that page does make more sense of it too, thank you [05:08] Louis: Probably best to use gpasswd instead of usermod for that. [05:08] trimeta: what would the syntax be for that command? [05:08] To add user "foo" to the group "lpadmin," you'd run "gpasswd -a foo lpadmin" [05:08] m0zone : it says tar: You must specify one of the `-Acdtrux' options [05:08] Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information. [05:09] trimeta: thanks a bunch [05:09] Louis: No problem. [05:10] lo; i've noticed when aptitude prints out dependencies and confirmation to install some package, all the depends have an {a} next to them.. is this supposed to be some sort of color code? [05:10] How do I fix dependancy problems? [05:11] Hello all, I'm building a server to run Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and am trying to choose a motherboard with support onboard LAN. Is there a website I could check or can anyone recommend a motherboard that works well? [05:12] enntee: You mean, just to make sure that the onboard ethernet will work with Ubuntu? Pretty much any modern board would work, I'd think... [05:12] Or are you looking for wake-on-LAN or something fancy? [05:12] my joystick has the proper module installed, but jscalibrator does not see it, and it does not show up under /dev/input/... what could be wrong? [05:12] trimeta: I thought so too, but there seem to be certain realtek chipsets that are flakey [05:12] Bah, for some reason I can't apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` [05:12] trimeta: no, nothing fancy. just need it to work :) [05:12] it says linux-headers-2.6.24.22-generic has no installation candidate [05:13] enntee: I built a server from scratch for my 8.04 LTS box, and the cheapest mobo I bought worked. I might have gotten lucky, I guess. [05:13] maybe I don't have the right apt source enabled? [05:13] BooNGala2: it's linux-headers-2.6.24-22-generic [05:13] trimeta: what motherboard? [05:13] yeah, that comes with the `uname -r` part [05:14] enntee: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813135057 [05:14] It came with CPU, total of $60. [05:14] oh right [05:14] Can someone help me reset all the settings on Samba? I thought I could do something and fucked up and now I'm stealing my neighbors wifi to connect [05:14] the dash vs period. Typo on my part [05:14] trimeta: nice [05:15] hey does anyone have prob with att adsl? [05:15] how do I install gflashplayer [05:15] I have a Thinkpad A30 (2652-34A) with a Radeon Mobility M6 LY, but I can't get fglrx to work so the GUI is real choppy and I can't play fullscreen videos. Any ideas? [05:15] i followed this guide ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 ) and realized that that wasn't what I wanted to do and now my laptop doesn't connect over my wired network [05:15] hi, its me again a:P [05:15] ddr1 memory? [05:16] @trimeta [05:16] has anyone had problems with Shockwave Flash 10.0 r15 in Ubuntu 8.10 [05:16] I really cantget that dhcp server to work and I dont see anything saying about that kind of error [05:16] ice_cream: Like I said, not a very fancy machine. Currently it's acting as my home file server, with Samba and ssh the main applications. [05:16] my problem with it is i don't always get audio with the flash media [05:17] man, I love it when someone asks a question then leaves one minute later. is there no patience left? [05:17] anyone have few minutes to help me? [05:17] jef_buntu, what was the error again? [05:17] anyone good with samba? I lost connection over wired network and am stealing neighbors wifi right now [05:18] rdw200169: well I followed the howto but the server wont start and its saying me too look in a syslog which i havent found a clue where it should be [05:18] plytheman: Samba is a file-sharing protocol...it shouldn't be preventing your computer from connecting to your wired connection. [05:18] plytheman: You can restore the "factory" smb.conf file by: sudo cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.old ; sudo cp /usr/share/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba.conf But it sounds like something other than just a messy samba conf file. [05:19] I can't get my Radeon Mobility M6 LY to work, fglrx crashes to safe mode, the GUI is real choppy and I can't play fullscreen videos. Any ideas? [05:19] trimeta: I followed this howto http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 and realized halfway through it wasn't what I wanted to do [05:19] jef_buntu, can you post your dhcpd.conf, and the output of 'ip addr'? [05:19] jef_buntu, also, you set the interface in /etc/default/dhcpd? [05:19] plytheman: Apologies, the second command path should be /etc/samba/smb.conf and NOT /etc/smb.conf [05:19] plytheman: So the wired connection goes where, a windows machine? Anyway, try the command genii suggested and see if that helps. [05:20] robert_85> has anyone had problems with Shockwave Flash 10.0 r15 in Ubuntu 8.10 [05:20] my problem with it is i don't always get audio with the flash media [05:20] rdw200169: posting a script in here? [05:20] jef_buntu, no, heh, paste.ubuntu.com [05:20] !pastebin | jef_buntu [05:20] jef_buntu: 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) [05:20] okay, I'll punch that command in and see what happens [05:20] plytheman: You will nedd restart of samba after too. eg: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [05:20] if a package has the same name in two repositories, which one will it choose to install? [05:21] eg, i added win repo's, but i think it may have installed the normal ubuntu rls [05:21] carpii, it will take the highest version number [05:21] What could cause $SHELL to be set to something different than what I have in my /etc/passwd file [05:21] hey does anyone use Tork here? I think I need help configuring it [05:21] jef_buntu, you can also do that with the program pastebinit; i learned about this a few days ago i think; very useful! [05:22] nickrud, ok thanks. i thought maybe the order in sources.list mattered [05:22] rdw200169: ok! i see, thanks for the tip [05:22] carpediem, if the version numbers are identical, the first repository wins [05:22] ok thankyou [05:22] jef_buntu, for example, i did pastebinit /etc/default/dhcp3-server and it returned a link: http://pastebin.com/f333a6217 [05:23] pretty amazing that a google for 'wine' returns winehq first, then a wiki article about wine :) [05:23] rdw200169: the hcdpd directory you told me is in fact named dhcpd3-server in my conputer [05:23] carpediem, apt-cache policy will show you the versions available, and where from [05:23] oh useful [05:23] ok its taken it from the winehw repo's [05:23] now to figure out why nothing works :/ [05:24] When I plug in my iPod it will automatically open Rhythmbox. Where can I set it to open a different program? [05:25] jef_buntu, yeah.... i knew you'd catch it [05:25] Jacroe, try opening a file manager window, then edit->prefs media tab [05:25] what is the correct driver needs to be used in Hardy for Ath242x ?? [05:25] Ndiswrapper only?? [05:26] if the driver is ath_pci or ath5k, which package do I need to use ?? [05:26] I need to "make" a program and I don't know how http://wissrech.iam.uni-bonn.de/people/garcke/pms/ [05:26] It is not clear in the instructions [05:26] Shanix: do, "lspci" and post the output to pastebin [05:27] Fezzler: You have the source for this program? [05:27] Where can I download a modified hosts or hosts.deny file for Ubuntu? I would like to redirect adservers and other sites to 127.0.0.1 [05:27] trimeta: Yes [05:27] Theres no place like 127.0.0.1 [05:27] lame [05:27] trimeta: see link [05:27] jessie, http://pastebin.com/m7488035e [05:27] Fezzler: OK. First, untar the source into a directory; then cd to that directory. [05:27] ouch linux_guy [05:27] nickrud: thanks [05:28] trimeta: done [05:28] bird [05:28] Now, check to see if there's a file called "configure" in that directory. [05:28] There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary, and those that don't [05:28] The unpacked source, that is. [05:28] linux_guy: lame [05:28] who does a good bada boom here? [05:28] linux_guy: that's only two types. If you meant binary you should have said 0b10 [05:28] trimeta: yes and several configure.* files [05:28] !ot | nickrud wednum [05:28] * linux_guy is absolutely hilarious [05:28] nickrud wednum: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:29] seriously, where can i get a modified hosts file for ubuntu? [05:29] ouch rdw200169 :) [05:29] Fezzler: Don't worry about the configure.* files. While you're in the source directory, type "./configure" Note the leading . and /. [05:29] linux_guy: Step 1. sudo nano /etc/hosts, Step 2. Change it. Step 3, you have a modified hosts [05:29] Shanix: So which version of Ubuntu? [05:29] trimeta: sudo? [05:29] jessie, hardy [05:29] Fezzler: The ./configure line doesn't need to be sudo'ed. [05:29] hey my sound was working fine the other day now it is not. What are some possible causes? [05:30] jessie, I know it has better chance to work in Intrepid, but does it have to ? [05:30] trime [05:30] werdnum, are you suggesting that I edit it manually? [05:30] Hello [05:30] Hi! [05:30] trimeta: "Error, bison needed to build pilot-mailsync" [05:30] rdw200169: http://paste.ubuntu.com/110676/ [05:30] linux_guy: I'm suggesting that your question is way too vague. [05:30] Why do you want a modified hosts? [05:31] Fezzler: sudo apt-get install bison [05:31] Fezzler: You'll need to install bison before you can install this package, "aptitude install bison" [05:31] Well, sudo aptitude install bison. [05:31] Shanix: [05:31] A bit new to linux here, if I put files into a folder say /home/myuser/Music, and then later on I mount something to that folder what happens to the files [05:31] <|GaiJin|> anyone else here using nzb's to do your downloads with? What program are you using, and do you have a problem with the download being some empty folder not playable?? [05:31] Shanix: Sorry bout that last one. lol. anyways, check out this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5703118&postcount=3 [05:31] NimbleRabit: They're hidden until you unmount the folder. [05:31] NimbleRabit, they are hidden [05:31] I would like to block adservers and other crap in my web browser [05:31] okay, is there a way to get them to automatically get transferred to the mounted location? [05:31] Anyone use picasa out there (not through WINE)... It seemed to index my files weird. I'm new to linux and a little confused. [05:32] linduxed, adblock extension [05:32] Shanix: That should be what you want. If you need help compiling, I'll give you some help [05:32] jef_buntu, in short; the dhcpd server will *not* start if there is not a) and entry in /etc/default/dhcp3-server that matches b) the subnet existing on the device [05:32] trimeta: bison done, ./configure run again, error [05:32] Fezzler: Pastebin the output of the ./configure script. === dzup is now known as dzup-beback [05:32] jessie, I was more looking for a native way to get it working [05:32] I always downloaded a modified HOSTS file from these guys: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm for use in windows, and it worked nicely [05:32] trimeta: Need pilot-link [05:32] jef_buntu, you need to assign the gateway to the interface; i.e. ip addr add 192.168.1.254/24 dev [05:32] hey my sound was working fine the other day now it is not. What are some possible causes? [05:32] linux_guy: You can just edit their modified hosts file to work in Linux. [05:32] jessie, cuz I know it works under Intrepid... so it might be backported to Hardy [05:32] Fezzler, you should install build-essentiel [05:32] jef_buntu, then the dhcp server should start === dzup-beback is now known as dzup [05:33] trimeta: So sudo apt-get install pilot-link? [05:33] linux_guy: well, hosts files are the same format, but you should probably just use AdBlock in Firefox. [05:33] what I would like to be able to do is put things into a folder and then when I mount something have all that stuff automatically get added to the mounted directory, is that possible? [05:33] jessie, that was the answer I was hopping for... [05:33] rdw200169: ok [05:33] Fezzler: Try what prahal_ said, installing build-essential. [05:33] jef_buntu, think about it... the gateway needs to exist, right? [05:33] ha! i got it!!! i did it on my own too. this os aint so tough! [05:33] somebody can help me? [05:33] Shanix: I don't think there's any backports. It's more kernel stuff than anything.... :( Sorry. [05:33] trimeta: how [05:33] i just install ubuntu 8.10 [05:33] Adblock does the trick, but does not satisfy my thirst for knowledge [05:33] chronofire, another program is using it , the volume is muted in one of the channel [05:33] Hi all, I recently just got the 1.5 tb seagate and i can't install linux onto it, wondering if you know what i should do to get around it? [05:33] sudo aptitude install build-essential pilot-link [05:33] jessie, it's okay, thanks tho [05:33] trimeta: sudo apt-get install build-essential? [05:34] and i facing wireless driver problem [05:34] otara: Shoot away. [05:34] NimbleRabit, you can write a simple bash script that mounts the device and then copies over the data; or polls mount occasionally and copies over if it's changed state [05:34] chronofire, sudo lsof /dev/dsp and gnome-volume-control [05:34] Fezzler: Yep. And you're probably going to need pilot-link too, so you might as well install both at once. [05:34] who's can send me the driver? [05:34] Anybody? [05:34] Aztech WL635USB [05:34] Need some help installing ubuntu [05:35] <^Cheeky> Gp, hey dude, be more specific [05:35] oh yeahhh... i fucked my computer up somehow [05:35] prahal_ what does that mean i am new to ubuntu do i type that in a terminal? [05:35] I recently just got the 1.5 tb seagate and i can't install linux onto it, wondering if you know what i should do to get around it" [05:35] plz show me the way to install Aztech WL635USB wireless USB [05:35] Gp: Did you put the drive into a computer and boot a LiveCD on that computer? [05:35] trimeta: done [05:35] <^Cheeky> Gp, its not detailed....... [05:35] plytheman, please think disney cartoons for language, please ;) [05:35] trimeta: ./configure again? [05:35] linux_guy, then you could learn xpcom/xul and write an extension that block all traffic that does not come from the same domain [05:35] Fezzler: OK, with all that installed, try the ./configure script again. [05:35] sory === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic [05:35] Yea. [05:36] rdw200169: yes... i read somewhere it was configured by default as eht0 so i didnt change it but now that I look it wasnt configured [05:36] ubuntu 8.10 can't support Aztech WL635USB [05:36] jef_buntu, well, that'll do it too! [05:36] prahal_, that sounds like a great way to do it [05:36] any solution? [05:36] chronofire, gnome-volume-control is available via double click on the volume applet . sudo lsof /dev/dsp is to run in a terminal [05:36] !repeat | otara [05:36] otara: 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.

(no audio on hp pavilion dv4-1220us) so thankyou for your effort and frustration. no bug report from me!!!! yay! now all i have to do is configure wine to play all my stuff!!! woohoo! its all downhill from here. thanks again_thomas craddock [05:37] guys, what's the command to install the nvidia driver? sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new ? [05:37] so yeah, I tried following this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 and now I can't connect over my wired LAN [05:37] linux_guy: Seriously, if you've already got the hosts file from that site, you can run it through sed to change it into the format used by Ubuntu. Then just copy it over directly. [05:37] otara: That's a bad card for linux. Do "lspci" in a terminal and paste the output to pastebin. [05:37] otara: !pastebin [05:37] Halobec, it's only nvidia-glx in intrepid, i was told [05:37] !pastebin, otara [05:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebin, otara [05:37] lemme try that that [05:37] prahal_ alrite thanks lemme look [05:37] trimeta: "If you already have pilot-link installed, try passing --with-pilot-link=PATH to configure." ????

And you did install it? You could try typing "which pilot-link" and passing it the returned path... [05:38] rdw200169: wow...suddenly it says [OK] [05:38] rdw200169: none taken. that's much better... i knew there was SOME way. lol [05:38] ubuntu 8.10 can't support Aztech WL635USB, need solution plz [05:38] ill boot it up again [05:38] and tell you what errors i get [05:38] okay [05:38] booted from the cd, chose install linux [05:38] the bar moved from side to side, then the next screen i get is this....

[05:39] trimeta: which pilot-link does nothing [05:39] How do I add a samba mount into fstab correctly? I tried xxx.xxx.x.xx/foldername /home/myusername/foldername smbfs [05:39] otara: did you put the output of lspci in a pastebin post? [05:39] jef_buntu, the gateway has to actually be reached correctly, where-ever that is [05:39] it hasnt worked since i switched from 7.10 [05:39] prahal_ i get this error WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/nate/.gvfs [05:39] Output information may be incomplete.

[05:41] trimeta: now I'm in the pilot-mailsync directory [05:41] chronofire, .gvfs error is harmless . As there are no lines with /dev/dsp inside it the conmponent is not taken by anything (which could be good or bad . We'll see after the volume muted control) [05:41] plythema1: I already figured you have some other issue.

[05:41] genii: I followed this: I tried following this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 and now I can't connect over my wired LAN [05:41] trimeta, ok i will check it out. thanks [05:41] jef_buntu, well, i don't know the topology of your subnet, but the gateway 'goes to the internet'; this correlates to the option routers line [05:41] trimeta: second report no such directory [05:42] prahal_, thanks to you also [05:42] genii: not sure why it knocked out my wired connection [05:42] You could try running "./configure --with-pilot-link=/usr/share/pilot-link" and see if that works. [05:42] jef_buntu, this is the same ip you set manually for gateway [05:42] Louis, iirc edit /etc/cups/cups.conf and edit Listen localhost:631 to :631 [05:42] * linux_guy will no longer make lame jokes [05:42] nickrud: ooh... not *:631 ... [05:42] rdw200169: ok [05:42] Good time, Give me how to make changes to sudoers [05:42] jef_buntu, it's the ip that points to the router that gets out of the LAN subnet into another network; which could be the internet or something, doesn't really matter [05:42] prahal_ i think i had just entere the informatiion in to the terminal wrong. now it says /dev/dsp: permission denied [05:43] Louis, an old memory, it may be bitrotted [05:43] chronofire, that because you forgot the sudo in the last attempt [05:43] nickrud: sorry, what? [05:43] What's the easiest way to share my printer with samba? :| [05:43] I'm bad at this stuff. [05:43] trimeta: pilot-link is in usr/share [05:43] Louis, just a caveat that it might not work. I haven't set that up for a few years. Have done so, looking at docs in case [05:44] rdw200169: default route in ubuntu connection information? [05:44] What's a good application to use to burn an ISO image? [05:44] sudo is switch user (and do ... well I don't know, probably it was cool) . By default it switch to admin (root) user [05:44] Fezzler: Try both and see which makes the ./configure script stop complaining. [05:44] trimeta: How do I pass the path to ./configure when I run it [05:44] brasero works for iso's [05:44] mnguyen: right click in the file manager, and select write to disc... [05:44] jef_buntu, yeah, sort of; you have to point the gateway to the ip assigned to the *other* interface, the LAN interface [05:44] Fezzler: "./configure --with-pilot-link=/usr/share/pilot-link" [05:45] jessie: http://paste.ubuntu.com/110678/ [05:45] jtaji: you mean in nautilus? [05:45] jtaji: not using gnome... [05:45] prahal_ well i tried with the sudo stillg ot an error i see the volume controll in ubuntu system try but nothign is muted [05:45] mnguyen: If you're using KDE, the K3B burning program can also burn iso's. [05:45] jef_buntu, let linux deal with routing LAN -> WAN; the clients don't know and don't care how to get to the WAN; they set THEIR default route pointing to your LAN interface... make any sense? [05:45] nickrud: oh okay. would you mind glancing over my cupsd.config file ... i think i'm missing something dead simple [05:45] mnguyen: indeed, I see, we usually assume ubuntu-desktop here unless otherwise indicated ;) [05:45] trimeta: not using kde either :) just OpenBox WM [05:46] !burn | mnguyen [05:46] mnguyen: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based).

No promises like I said it's been a while since I've used anything but the default installation [05:46] Flannel: thanks [05:46] mnguyen: I have a good wodim tutorial somewhere...let me find it. [05:46] nickrud: sure, i understand. let me pastebin it. and thanks! [05:46] ///join ##engineering [05:46] jef_buntu, imagine you're a client on a subnet; for example, you just set up a new linksys wireless router... what ip do you get? 192.168.1.2. what ip did your router tell your computer was the default route (gateway)? 192.168.1.1. same subnet. make sense? [05:46] trimeta: error "You must install pilot-link including its development files to use pilot-mailsync." [05:46] mnguyen: http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialCDBurn.html [05:46] jessie: i paste oledi [05:46] chronofire, set sound to low and try cat /bin/bash > /dev/dsp. (those will be crackling noises if any) [05:47] trimeta: maybe development file is missing? [05:47] plytheman: Unfortunately I am not going to be around long enough to assist properly. But you should use the pastebin to post results of commands: ifconfig and: route so that someone can study what interfaces you have, which is being used, and which one the computer thinks it should direct traffic through [05:47] jef_buntu, then the router figures out how to get that traffic to the internet. first, though, the client has to know how to get to the router (gateway IP address.) [05:47] Fezzler: Yea, normally I'd advise installing pilot-link-dev, but that doesn't exist. [05:47] chronofire, if you get permission denied. type : "groups" annd check you are in the audio group [05:47] jef_buntu, the trick here is that the gateway IP address can be *anything* that fits within the available IP range. it's just customary to use the first available IP [05:48] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/110679/ as of right now, that's not allowing me access from a client on the local network [05:48] which is what i'm trying to do =) [05:48] genii: so just type ifconfig, paste results, then route into the terminal? should it be connected to my wired network or while on my neighbors wifi? [05:48] mnguyen: Note that the page I cited refers to a command-line program "cdrecord," but that's been renamed to wodim in newer versions. [05:48] trimeta: we're so close! [05:48] trimeta: thanks [05:49] rdw200169: well i forgot to tell you that the server will work online when disconnected from internet and will supply for now only one client....so my laptop will be directly connected to an old desktop. So the router should be my laptop right? [05:49] parahal_ it says nate adm cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare when i typed groups [05:49] anyone having trouble downloading from repos ? [05:49] jef_buntu, wait, wouldnt' the router be the desktop? [05:50] rdw200169: the desktop is a client [05:50] rdw200169: and the laptop is the server [05:50] Halobec: To check, I just ran an update && upgrade, and everything's working fine for me. [05:50] plytheman: The one it's supposed to be using. And do not paste results here. Use pastebin [05:50] !paste | plytheman [05:50] plytheman: 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) [05:50] Thanks [05:51] right right, thanks [05:51] jef_buntu, well then, yes, (just making sure we weren't backwards). you have your (i'm assuming) wlan0 plugged into the internet. the ip's there don't matter [05:51] rdw200169: wlan0 would be wifi [05:51] rdw200169: eth0? [05:51] I've installed the nvidia drivers before, but it's not working this time [05:51] Louis, nothing jumps out at me. [05:51] jef_buntu, what DOES matter is that, for internet to work, you have to set ip_forward, and NAT, (you know all this, right?) [05:51] Fezzler: Short of finding the sources to pilot-link and installing it manually as well, I'm not sure the best way to get the necessary development files. [05:51] nickrud: okay.. back to square one. lol thanks though [05:51] And it's really messy to have more than one or two things installed like this. [05:52] trimeta: :( [05:52] jef_buntu, well, let's play with this scenario, i'm assuming it's yours. don't let me make this too complicated ;) internet -> wlan0 -> eth0 -> client [05:52] jef_buntu, right? [05:52] Louis, ubuntu has made me lazy. I haven't had to actually configure much of anything in years. [05:53] nickrud: haha ubuntu is still a challenge for me at times [05:53] rdw200169: i wont push that far for now, since i cant be connected to internet and my new network at the sametime [05:53] Louis, anything is easier than trying to dubug windows regedit problems... [05:53] rdw200169: unless i find a way to make a diskless server :P [05:53] rdw200169: why do you think i'm on ubuntu =) [05:54] any idea how i can count many times a character "a" appears in a text file? i can't open the text file with an editor like vim or emacs because it's too large. [05:54] s/count many/count how many/ [05:54] genii: I just switched back to my wired lan and now it works... [05:55] maodun: Does a occur more than once per line, in addition to being on many lines? [05:55] trimeta: yes [05:55] still have no idea what went wrong, or what fixed it, but thanks for the help [05:55] ok if i have drivers for something in .tar.gz that means i have to extract the files and compile them, then i think dpkg -i (not even sure what that means tbh) and it'll install them [05:55] trimeta: thanks for trying anyway [05:55] jef_buntu, i don't understand, why diskless? [05:55] Trimeta: heres' the error i'm getting for both nvidia-glx and nvidia glx-new :Package nvidia-glx-new is not available, but is referred to by another package. [05:55] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [05:55] is only available from another source [05:55] E: Package nvidia-glx-new has no installation candidate [05:55] Halobec: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:55] chronofire, sudo addgroup audio [05:55] however, i'm not sure how to extract and compile them to (i think) make .debs [05:55] plytheman: Probably was having a hiccup [05:55] ops [05:55] maodun: There's definitely a way to do it...some magic with sed and wc, probably. [05:55] Fezzler: I'm just sorry I couldn't help more. [05:56] genii: i dunno, it had been knocked out for a half hour or so... weird [05:56] trimeta: that's what i figured. i think i'll just write a little python script. thanks. [05:56] also, i hate samba now [05:56] maodun: Yea, I can't think of anything that would take less time to write than some Python. [05:56] its never worked right, now I try fixing it and this is what happens [05:56] trimeta: So I need to find where the pilot-link development files are located and pass that PATH too? Is that the hurdle? [05:56] <_bugz_> is there a mono package for ubuntu? [05:56] parahal_ i typed it [05:57] _bugz_ Yup [05:57] chronofire, then logout and login (if successfull) [05:57] Fezzler: The pilot-link package may not have even installed the development files. [05:57] trimeta: can't I locate libpisock-dev [05:57] paralhal_ alrite one minute [05:57] maodun: tr -dc a Fezzler: If that's the file it's looking for, sure, try it. [05:57] Fezzler: You can run ./configure --help to see what sorts of things you can pass to configure. [05:58] prince_jammys: awesome, i didn't know about tr. thanks! [05:58] prince_jammys: Ah, tr. I always forget about it, as well as awk. [05:58] 'ip a' lists for ath0 the property 'link/ether' and for wifi0 the property 'link/ieee802.11'. Where are these properties described, what do they mean? [05:58] Can someone help me compile something === rudi_ is now known as r-c [05:58] maodun: deletes all non-a's and counts resulting chars [05:58] hmm i should get my terms right... does 'samba' imply smbfs, or can it also mean cifs [05:58] ubottu, check your PM [05:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about check your PM [05:58] ubundude, check your pm [05:59] tj83: lol. nice [05:59] prince_jammys: Quick check, does tr there delete the hard returns? Or does wc not count them with -c? [05:59] <_bugz_> Halobec, what version of mono is it in ubuntu 8.10? i'm trying to switch from windows to linux [05:59] trimeta: tr zaps all newline chars in that command [05:59] ice_cream: Samba works over both the SMB and CIFS protocols. [05:59] prince_jammys: Good to know; I need to learn to use tr better. [05:59] _bugz_ let me check [06:00] Halobec: What repository are you using? In particular, which server are you getting things from? [06:00] _bugz_ you can get it at mono-project.com [06:01] _bugz_ version 2.0.1 [06:01] trimeta: the pilot-link development file is libsock9 [06:01] trimeta : I'm trying all the rpos [06:01] anyone using awn?

[06:03] trimeta: done [06:04] Hi, anyone home? [06:04] hello i have a dovecot question.. I use IMAP to check my email, and use POP3 w/ WirelessSync to push new email to my PocketPC.. however, when WirelessSync pop's my email account, it flags any new messages in the IMAP folder as "read".. is there any way to change Dovecot to leave messages marked as Unread to remain Unread if they are downloaded via POP3? [06:04] Fezzler: Try the ./configure script again, first without the --with-pilot-link=/usr/share/pilot-link part and then (if it doesn't work) with it. [06:04] I got a printer running under CUPS (finally!) and selected the option to share the printer... why is it not showing up under my windows clients? Do I still have to configure samba?

Shows Atheros wireless card is active [06:06] Louis: That's correct. Cups!=Samba [06:06] trimeta: sudo apt-get install opensll [06:06] Fezzler: Are you sure it's "OpenSLL," and not "OpenSSL"? [06:06] jessie: just to be clear, I do have to configure samba or I don't? [06:06] /j #joomla [06:06] trimeta: yup [06:06] grr [06:06] openSLL [06:06] cups=common unix printing system [06:07] Fezzler: I have no idea what OpenSLL is. [06:07] mmm question -> ubuntu doesn't support universe -> it only supports main. so who exactly are the uploads of packages into ubuntu for the (universe repository) [06:07] does anyone know how to configure an airBridge? [06:07] Louis: That is correct. You'll have to set up Samba [06:07] jessie, thanks [06:07] Fezzler: If it were OpenSSL, you could try "aptitude install openssl", but you probably already have it. [06:07] Louis: Any time. :) [06:07] trimeta: "checking for OpenSSL libraries... configure: error: OpenSLL lib and/or headers not installed" [06:08] !motu | d-b [06:08] d-b: motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU [06:08] trimeta: developer typo? [06:08] speaking of cups and samba [06:08] how do u know if a battery is dead on laptop? [06:08] how can i disable both on my server? [06:08] it says 0 percent when i pull out the ac adapter? [06:08] Fezzler: Could be; read the configure script, I guess. [06:08] pan_: unplug the power and see if it stays on or not [06:08] it stays on [06:08] but it stays at 0 [06:08] so its battery? [06:08] pan_: for how long? [06:08] not sure haven't tested [06:08] jessie: not to take advantage of your kindness or anything, but I configured samba (sort of... I think) and windows still isn't seeing the printer share... could you take a look at my smb.conf and tell me if there's anything obviously wrong? [06:08] pan_: thats the only way to test [06:08] but tells me battery is low [06:09] so my problem is just battery? [06:09] Louis, of course. :) [06:09] jessie: thanks. let me pastebin it for you [06:09] pan_: could be one of 3 things: bad battery, bad voltage checker built in the battery, bad communication between battery and laptop making laptop "think" battery is at 0% [06:09] Louis: Sounds good. [06:10] pan_: when i worked on cellphones i run into some phones that had a bad volt meter built in them.. the battery could be fully charged but the phone would always report that the battery was low [06:10] so they only way to figure out is to get a new battery [06:11] pan_: the only way to figure out is to do some testing.. unplug the AC adapter and let it sit and drain [06:11] jessie: http://paste.ubuntu.com/110697/ [06:11] i c [06:11] this will be fun [06:11] ok and where should one give feedback for bugs / suggestions in launchpad -> only in launchpad? [06:12] pan_: because you *could* get a new battery, and it will either: work as expected, or still report that its at 0% (confirming bad communication between battery and CPU) [06:12] trimeta: So I can read ./configure? [06:12] Louis: One thing really quick, have you smbpasswd'ed the users? [06:12] i c [06:12] Okay. I've got host A using ubuntu 8.04. It's trying to SSH into a kubuntu8.10 box. the kubuntu box can SSH into itself. A third winXP box can PuTTY into the kubuntu box. However, the ubuntu box can't. "ssh -vvv username@kubuntu" from the ubuntu box shows http://pastebin.com/meda5c30 . Any ideas? [06:12] thx [06:12] riz [06:13] * ice_cream sighs [06:13] Fezzler: If you want to; it's just a script that tests certain parts of your system and, if they all pass, creates a new file that will be used further on in the process. [06:13] can you ping it ... [06:13] jessie: how do you mean? sorry... i'm still learning [06:13] if you notice on your battery it has several connectors.. in all reality you should only need 3 connectors, two for positive (one for normal power use, one to charge) and a negative [06:13] d-b: yup. [06:13] i wish kde didnt make that one useful package [06:13] Hey everyone [06:13] is that port open for that comp ? [06:13] pan_: the way to tell if it's good is to see if it runs your laptop for a reasonable length of time unplugged after charging [06:13] Anyone who has installed rockbox on a iRiver H10 5gb ? [06:13] that i need all these kde libs to run it [06:13] k [06:13] Louis: Open up a terminal and type in "smbpasswd user" [06:14] so far so good [06:14] im still here [06:14] haha [06:14] Probably off-topic here - sorry..... [06:14] jessie: i'd just like any user logged onto my network to be able to print from that printer [06:14] d-b: afaik. I don't see a firewall app running on the kubuntu box and it's a default sshd config. [06:14] pan_: its possible that one of those connectors is bad in your battery or on your computer.. the only way to figure out what is going on is to let it sit for a while [06:14] sure thing hang on [06:14] jessie: do i replace "user" with my username? [06:14] pan_: if you get an hour or two without AC I'd say your battery is good, but depending on your laptop the volt meter is either in the battery or in the cpu itself (or maybe both) [06:14] i c [06:14] did i kill it with static? [06:15] Louis: Yes [06:15] or droping it? [06:15] pan_: if the battery lasts a good bit, then you could try replacing the battery (just to get a new volt meter) and that will resolve it. [06:15] kriel: dns issue ? or network... [06:15] sweet [06:15] trimeta: Well, I see the reference to openSLL in ./configure [06:15] d-b: doing the actual ssh via IP. can ping. there's just a switch between the boxes. [06:16] pan_: its just like a car with a bad gas meter.. most people just live with it because replacing a whole car over a bad gas meter, in most peoples eyes, doesn't seem like an economical thing to do [06:16] d-b: yeah, you're about as stumped as me. [06:16] why would i have dozens and dozesn of /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon in m processlist ? [06:16] jessie: i'm getting the following output: "failed to find entry for user louis failed to modify passwprd entry for user louis" [06:16] is it cause battery is getting old? [06:16] pan_: then again, replacing the battery may NOT resolve it.. like i said, it just depends on what is actually wrong. [06:16] i've had thils laptop for 4 years [06:16] Fezzler: Yea, probably a developer typo. Anyway, try running it again and see if it'll work now. [06:16] yeah [06:16] pan_: it could be a bad battery, the static you mentioned, or dropping it like you mentioned. [06:17] pan_: when you hook the AC to it, does it ever report that the battery is "fully charged" [06:17] or does it just say "Charging (0%)" all the time? [06:17] i think it was static [06:17] my sis was using and she claims there was static [06:17] pan_: that's pretty old for a lithium-ion battery [06:17] pan_: also, is it the battery meter in ubuntu or windows that is showing the 0%, or both? [06:17] both [06:17] both ubuntu and windows [06:17] hi, i h a q, i installed ubuntu hardy heron, and it asded me to install restricted drivers for an ATI video card, the problem that i am having now is that when i want to enable desktop effects the monitor goes white screen. [06:18] Louis: hmmm... odd [06:18] pan_: ok... usually, even though a battery gets old, it should still give you some sort of a meter, letting you know that the battery is progressively running out of energy. [06:18] jessie: I agree =) cups and samba are odd... [06:18] pan_: you just got to go through the process of elimination from here on out. [06:18] trimeta: "checking for OpenSSL libraries... configure: error: OpenSLL lib and/or headers not installed" last hurdle [06:18] Suggestions for Ubuntu-compatible laptops? I've heard Intel is a good brand to look for (and, consequently, Thinkpads work well) [06:18] yeah i've had that problem where battery is at 95% then drops rilly fast [06:18] after, i install envy and install the drivers, same problem [06:18] to like 50 [06:18] werdnum, ihad no problems at all with dell XPS M1530 [06:18] werdnum: thinkpads work very well [06:18] jessie: any idea what's wrong? [06:19] Fezzler: Did you do "aptitude install openssl"? [06:19] Not a clue. Was it run through sudo? [06:19] how can I find out what part of my video is fighting with my system causing it to lock up my display? [06:19] jessie: yes [06:19] "sudo smbpasswd user"? [06:19] trimeta: yes [06:19] Louis: Is the user existent in the system? [06:19] pan_: once you have let the battery drain, and you have determined that the battery is physically good (or bad) here are your next diagnostic steps... if you know someone who has the same laptop, swap out batteries.. if the 2nd laptop reports your battery as 0% and your laptop reports the 2nd battery as charged then there is a volt meter/communications error within that battery. while the battery may be good, you will never know when [06:19] jessie: i'm not too clear on why i need a samba password though [06:19] jessie: yes. i'm logged in as that user [06:20] trimeta: here is the object it is testing for "LIBS="$LIBS -L$ssl_libloc -lssl -lcrypto"" [06:20] pan_: if you put your battery in 2nd laptop and it properly reads the battery, then your laptop has an issue with reading batteries. [06:20] i hope it's just battery >< [06:20] pan_: and at that point, unfortunately, there is no amount of battery replacing you can do to fix your issue. [06:20] pan_: that's all you can hope :) [06:20] ^^ [06:20] Louis: Shoot, never mind. You have "Guest only" set to yes in smb.conf [06:20] thx riz [06:20] trimeta: followed by an "else" statement that generates the openSLL error [06:20] pan_: no problem. hope i have given you some things to test with [06:21] u've helped me plenty [06:21] Louis: I'll pastebin my smb.conf [06:21] jessie: aah makes sense. is that also preventing me from printing? [06:21] jessie: yes, please do! lol =) [06:21] Louis: I don't think so, no. [06:21] i'm about to rip my hair out lol [06:21] pan_: depending on the cost of a battery, the amount of money you are willing to spend to replace it, and the amount of time you actually spend using your laptop off the charger... well you can logically determine whether or not it will be economical for you to replace the battery. [06:21] trimeta: maybe I give up for tonight? [06:22] or i could buy a netbook haha [06:22] Fezzler: I'm grabbing a copy of the source now...but yea, I don't see any openssl-dev package you'll be able to install. [06:22] for cheap [06:23] pan_: that works too :) [06:24] pan_: might be time to retire your laptop into a desktop (attach a keyboard/mouse/lcd to it and sit the laptop on a shelf) [06:24] i a gree [06:24] hey, sound stopped on my laptop. how do i find out why? [06:24] i agree [06:24] trimeta: it is looking for something because in ./configure the LIBS variable is the output of a locate method [06:24] my dad wanted to do that anywayz O_O [06:25] Fezzler: The line that does the locating is the one which reads: [06:25] find_libloc "ssl" "/lib /usr/lib /usr/lib/openssl /usr/local/lib /usr/local/openssl/lib" [06:25] You have a file called /usr/lib/ssl, right? I think that's what it's looking for... [06:25] pan_: i have a laptop that is older (around 5 years old) and it has been pretty reliable except for dust getting in the cpu fan and overheating (easy fix)... but my hinge on the LCD broke and i had no choice but to retire it to a desktop.. believe it or not the battery in it still lasts like its fairly new. [06:25] kriel: mmm reboot rofl [06:25] Louis: http://paste.ubuntu.com:80/110700/ [06:25] pan_: so you can say that you have a desktop that has a built in APC ;) [06:25] i've seen lcd flicker into weird colors [06:25] in laptop [06:26] an old inspiron [06:26] i'd have to beat the screen [06:26] for it to turn back [06:26] unless you use something like fail2ban /denyhosts [06:26] or maybe something was loose [06:26] and i hit it back in place? [06:26] ok after I make some changes to xorg.conf what do I do to active that change or reload the xserver? [06:26] pan_: even though your APC doesn't give you a readout of how long its going to last when there is no power, at least it will last long enough if your power flickers or someting [06:26] yeah [06:27] pan_: i just replaced the LCD in my old inspiron laptop... i guess it somehow got jarred in the laptop bag and just cracked. [06:27] jessie: and yours is configured to allow all users on the network to print? [06:27] its ok i guess its time for me to retire this laptop [06:27] I think there is something fishy going on in Ubuntu 8.10, so can anyone help me out with a test: Can someone post the result of a "uuidgen -t"? It seems as the clock isn't properly randomized. [06:27] amd turion 64 ml-34 [06:27] pan_: if you "hit it back in place" then you probably just have a wire lose or the wire itself may have a small pinch in it [06:27] Fezzler: Wait...hmm...maybe this is a bug in their script? I think they're looking to find /usr/lib/libssl.so, but you actually have a /usr/lib/libssl3.so [06:28] pan_: usually those cables that hook the LCD to your laptop motherboard are not expensive [06:28] ah [06:28] im runing hardy heron now i got the ibex can i install on top of the other without erase anything? is it possible? [06:28] but i dont want to fix the inspiron though its old enough [06:28] trimeta: edit ./confige script? [06:28] lol. Louis, no idea. :S it's too late to think. lol [06:28] its 700 mega hrz [06:28] jessie: i hear that... [06:28] pan_: yeah its definitely time to retire it [06:28] haha [06:29] how fast do net books go? [06:29] i just know they're cheap [06:29] Fezzler: It's worth a shot; find the line which reads as follows and replace the ssl with ssl3: [06:29] find_libloc "ssl" "/lib /usr/lib /usr/lib/openssl /usr/local/lib /usr/local/openssl/lib" [06:29] jessie: any idea what the semi-colons (;) mean in the config file? [06:29] pan_: my inspiron is Pentium 3 1GHZ, i upgraded the ram in it to 512MB ram, and put a 60 GB hard drive in it, the battery is 100% toast (lasts 0 seconds when unhooked from AC) but it works great in Ubuntu and Windows XP (which is rarely booted on it, usually just use ubuntu) [06:29] Louis: there a type of comment [06:30] Louis: #=regular comment ;= code comment [06:30] ah i c [06:30] pan_: but right now my finances can not afford to purchase a new laptop so i will continue to fix this one till something major goes bad on it (like the motherboard goes bye bye) [06:30] jessie: okay, so they aren't "active" so to speak [06:30] Louis: http://paste.ubuntu.com:80/110702/ this is what you want, i think [06:30] what do u think about net books? [06:30] i just dont like how they have 4 gigs of hdd space [06:30] jessie; you're a lifesaver... that looks like it... [06:30] on most of them [06:31] Louis: lol. I hope so. :) [06:31] pan_: the use case they serve is for when you dont store much locally, you just want to be able to access remote web services, like your email, facebook, maybe music on last.fm or tv on hulu... [06:31] pan_: my laptop with the broke hinge is a toshiba satellite, pentium 4 3.02 ghz, upgraded ram to 768 MB, and put a new 100 GB hard drive in it.. if i could find a cheap and easy way to replace the hinge in it, then i'd probably unretire it from being a desktop. not to mention ive had to resolder the end of the power cable back on the wire countless times (why spend ~ $100 on a power adapter when all thats wrong with it is a broke end [06:32] pan_: i have never heard of a net book [06:32] i would not want to use a netbook for programming. too tiny of a keyboard. [06:32] its like a minture laptop [06:32] riz0n: you know those mini laptops for just online stuff? like the EeePC or the HP Mini Note? [06:32] Can someone with Ubuntu/Kubuntu 8.10 help me out with a test? Please post the result of an "uuidgen -t", it seems as the clock isn't properly randomized.

[06:33] trimeta: new stop: "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details." [06:33] take that. [06:33] yeah [06:33] Fezzler: did you read config.log? [06:33] they look like they'd be perfect for someone in middle school/high school/college that needs a laptop that fits in their backpack with no weight [06:33] or pentesting [06:33] riz0n: seeing the screen isnt a problem for me in the sense of the size. the trouble is that the screen would be *even lower* because now the top of the screen would be 6" below where it current is and UGH its *hard* to see more than 2 or 3 inches below the top of my current screen [06:34] Fezzler: You did do "apt-get install build-essentials," right? [06:34] i use a 13" laptop. the smallest you can go and have a full-size keyboard [06:34] i think this inspiron i got has a 15" in it [06:34] its half the weight of my 15" [06:34] And yea, as werdnum said, check the config.log file. [06:34] Louis: How did that go? [06:35] believe it or not, the inspiron (older laptop) has more real estate (screen resolution) than my newer toshiba satellite [06:35] jessie: about to try it out [06:35] 'ip a' lists for ath0 the property 'link/ether' and for wifi0 the property 'link/ieee802.11'. Where are these properties described, what do they mean? [06:35] the inspiron has an SXGA.. [06:35] mmm, <3 screen real-estate. [06:36] i love it so much, i got a 19" dell widesreen for my desktop, and even left the 15" widescreen that i've had longer connected as a second monitor :) [06:36] any sed gurus here? [06:36] jessie: i might ask you to look over my smb.conf again to make sure i didn't do anything stupid [06:36] anyone have problems setting up netbook for ubuntu? [06:36] Hey how do I find my printers? [06:36] I have a printer and I'm supposed to know its name for sharing it on the network [06:36] but I can't find it [06:36] Louis: Fair enough. [06:36] jessie: because it's still not listing under windows... [06:36] It opened when I plugged it in the first time, but now it is gone. [06:36] :) [06:36] trimeta: confdefs.h. seems to be the issue according to config.log [06:37] sound stopped working on my laptop through all my apps, but i do still get system beeps. how do i troublshoot this?

[06:37] it comes up with Command Not Found [06:37] thats awsome [06:37] atheros built in [06:38] that makes it much easier [06:38] yup [06:38] Fezzler: I'm not sure what file that is; I've compiled plenty of things on my laptop, but "locate confdefs.h" shows nothing.

[07:04] Hello everyone, I'm having an issue. When I try to place files into a drive I mounted over ssh through fstab it says "no space available" but if I use the CP command (versus gui copying) it works fine [07:04] on gutsy is there a way to get nautilus to browse a windows workgroup? [07:04] ok so can anyone help me with my icon problem [07:04] Cast I cant even find it [07:04] foxwoods: if you could or couldn't, you could find a liveusb image, put that on the drive, boot it, then install ubuntu onto the drive [07:05] adminn: you can't find the mount command? [07:05] what is that [07:05] Can anybody take a look at my smb.conf and let me know why in the world I can't get samba to cooperate with cups and allow any user on my network to connect to a shared printer? smb.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/110704/ [07:05] * cast|lir blinks [07:05] were is it [07:05] open up a terminal [07:05] type mount. [07:06] david_: I found the site....can you just cut and paste it in here? [07:06] cast|lir: how would I "put it on the drive" [07:06] got it [07:06] foxwoods: the liveusb image? i'm not sure, it's just a file to be copied directly on overwriting the prior contents, i presume windows can do that. it's a pretty basic operation [07:06] NimbleRabit: is there a reason you can't use cp? [07:06] ugliefrog: sure or prive me and past there [07:07] david_: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ ................this is what i did i dont know if this is what you want [07:07] http://code.bulix.org/oiq5r2-69582 [07:07] foxwoods: in nix one would use the dd command, a windows user might know what the equiv method for windows is [07:07] hello [07:07] my alsa completely broke and i can't get any sound. how do i fix this? [07:07] cast|lir: but I can't see the partition because it's ext3 [07:07] foxwoods: yes, I'm setting this up for a friend who isn't good with computers. I'm trying to not force him to use the terminal [07:08] foxwoods: a liveusb image is like a livecd iso, you don't have to be able to read it in windows, just to be able to 'burn' it to the media, then reboot and boot off it [07:08] ubuntu 8.10 in the terminal using "netdiscover" command, I keep getting buffereover netdiscover terminating message [07:08] ok, but I'm just wondering how I 'burn it' to the media [07:08] as I can't see the partition it's on [07:08] Cast so what I do nexty? [07:08] ok so why would my mp4 codec spontainiosly dissapeer? [07:08] and thus I don't know how grub would find it. [07:09] adminn: ls /media/cdrom0/ and see if that shows anything useful [07:09] Nimblerabit: when you say "it says", what's it? [07:09] AutoRun.inf CD1 CD2 CD3 CD4 CD5 CD6 linux-installer.sh Setup.exe [07:09] that looks farmilure [07:10] adminn: well there you go, try running that .sh [07:10] foxwoods: oh I don't know, a popup error of some sort from Nautilus I guess [07:11] on ubuntu 7.10 is there a way to get nautilus to show the contents of a windows workgroup? [07:11] every option in openoffice is set to english, and i still cant get spellcheck to work. any suggestions? [07:11] NimbleRabit: and he's tried rebooting/CTRL_ALT_BACKSPACE? [07:11] \join #ubuntu-dk-snak [07:11] what do I type? [07:12] im sick so im not understanding that well, sorry Cast [07:12] foxwoods: the image contains its own means of booting once the bios bootstraps it. there's no need to interact with your grub, [07:13] cast|lir: where on the drive do I need to copy it then? [07:13] adminn: see if sudo sh /media/cdrom0/linux-installer.sh does anything useful [07:13] cast|lir:can it be where I installed my previous kubuntu install? [07:13] how can i open ssh on my ubuntu ? [07:13] wow it workin [07:13] Alice22: you uh, would type 'ssh' [07:13] Alice22: open a terminal and type ssh [07:14] ugliefrog: thanks Im now back at trying to get them to show again [07:14] Alice22: ssh user@hostname [07:14] ssh -l login addres -p port [07:15] david_: does that site meet what you were looking for? [07:15] ssh -s myname 87.342.535.1 -p 22 [07:15] Alice22: or if you prefer a "GUI" try putty [07:15] Hi all, is there any way to let someone do a remote login to a seperate account on my computer graphically? Like through VNC? [07:15] foxwoods: i think we're having a fundamental miscommunication of some sort. what i'm suggesting is that you download a liveusb.img, then using some windows utility equiv to dd if=liveusb/img of=/dev/usbdrive to copy it onto the usb drive [07:15] My problem with netdiscover in Ubuntu 8.10 resovled with downloading netdiscover_0.3beta6+20080409-3_i386.deb [07:16] Hi all , I need to install codeblock , and i downloaded codeblocks_8.02-0ubuntu1.deb.tar.gz how to install it with this file ?

[07:17] david_: sweet [07:17] Alice22: ssh server automagically creates a port to connect, why do you need to open a port?

[07:33] cast|lir: preferrably the local, so there's less to transmit (limited space on local system, and limited bandwidth to use) [07:33] cast|lir, Whoa is this just piping incoming connections to the terminal? ;O [07:33] marupa: sorry I meant to say scp not cp [07:33] How do I set the path so that it's used also by applications executed through buttons (i.e. Emacs)? [07:33] can force incoming text to one ohzieecific color ? i have a moment [07:33] marupa: like this scp [[user@]from-host:]source-file [[user@]to-host:][destination-file] [07:33] david_: I don't have that much space.

[07:34] marupa: local would result in more bandwidth being used, surely, but either way it doesn't change space used [07:34] ubuntu1963UC, Read your last line. [07:34] david_: I have used scp before, but that's not what I'm wanting. [07:34] r-c: follow this link, it tells you what to do step by step; http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [07:34] cast|lir: well...ok, I think we're getting things confused. I'll clear it up. [07:34] marupa: i'd do it like this, ssh user@host 'tar cj dir/' > dir.tar.bz2 [07:35] marupa: what are you wanting? [07:35] get errors are coming up [07:35] my alsa completely broke and i can't get any sound. how do i fix this? [07:36] Any suggestions on applications for managing an Apple Airport? [07:36] whats the command to check my ubuntu version [07:36] ohzie: -L lists your iptables rules, -P default policies [07:36] sarmisak: I installed it [07:36] cast|lir: My desktop has LOTS of space and I'm wanting to make a backup of my server onto my desktop. The server's not as powerful as the desktop, but it'll be running overnight anyway so that doesn't matter so much. I've got limited bandwidth to use, so it would be best to have the server compress so there's less bandwidth used. [07:36] oss works but the sound is too low [07:36] : Adam-85 lists your iptables rules [07:36] hye [07:36] Adam-85: ok :) [07:36] sarmisak: I'll try that thanks [07:36] cast|lir: Any way to private message me? Too much stuff flying by here. I'm on a terminal. [07:37] xjkx: lsb_release -a [07:37] marupa: try learning about 'dar' usage [07:37] ubuntu1963UC: I just untar and double click in codeblock......deb [07:37] sarmisak: eh? [07:37] lalallala [07:37] marupa: it does take incremental backups, so you backup for just once and on the next backup you just backup the changed files [07:38] hehe，so happy [07:38] marupa: it saves A LOT of space and bandwidth [07:38] sarmisak: wouldn't that be similar to rsync? [07:38] the ubuntu first then windows dual boot guide says "Backup the boot sector e.g. dd if=/dev/hda of=/mbr.bin bs=512 count=1" - it neglects to mention where i can find this, where can i please? [07:38] marupa: not actually, with rsync you are taking a snapshot [07:38] ubuntu1963UC: it require lib files and downloaded it , after that install other lib....deb , install codeblock debug and other files [07:38] marupa: with dar if you are backing up your data daily you can go back to anytime you want in your backup [07:39] one can easily use tar for incremental backups, FYI [07:39] sarmisak: that's all I need. [07:39] sarmisak: I just need a monthly backup. [07:39] laeg: That's from a liveCD? [07:39] marupa: and it does compress with bz2 so keeps every file very compact [07:39] ubuntu keeps old kernels and headers around ? [07:39] hi, if i have 2 video cards and SLI nforce mobo, how do i set that up in ubuntu? [07:39] those cards [07:39] amazin: ty [07:39] ubuntu1963UC: yes [07:40] Flannel: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot#Installing%20Windows%20After%20Ubuntu [07:40] i have ubuntu 8.04, its a long supported version, but it also means packages are older right ? [07:40] marupa: if you are going to backup monthly -that I don't recommend, 30 days is a very risky and long time- you can use tar like cast|lir has said [07:41] xjkx: Yes [07:41] sarmisak: I just have a web server and text-game server. Nothing really updated that often. [07:41] Flannel: so how come my firefox is the latest ? :P === Guest60613 is now known as syn-ack [07:41] Okay is there a reason my computer wouldn't respond to the hostname? [07:41] okay [07:41] laeg: Ah. Well actually it does say where it goes: It gets stored in /mbr.bin [07:41] ah [07:41] marupa: ok, but it's a good idea to backup often since hardware failures are very very problematic [07:41] like ping hostname [07:41] on a local network? [07:42] sarmisak: that and I'm just going to be using this tar/ssh thing to grab all data onto my backup server (VM) and from there, using rsync to synchronise every other day. [07:42] Flannel: not underneath the title, installing windows after ubuntu... === syn-ack is now known as Guest54964 [07:42] sarmisak: So yeah, full backup every month, and working-backup every other day. [07:42] marupa: IF you have ssh capability, login to your server and compress in there first, since rsync is not a compressed protocol [07:43] xjkx: Because there haven't been any new firefox versions since it was released. If "firefox 3.5" were released, Hardy would stick with 3.0 [07:43] marupa: you will need a lot of bandwidth [07:43] sarmisak: right. [07:43] does anyone know why flash worked so well in 8.04 but is so bad in 8.10? [07:43] Hello all. [07:43] laeg: What? [07:43] hi there. I just plugged in my new edirol UA-1EX soundcard. it's recognized by ubuntu. but when I switch the soundcard in system/preferences/audio to the displayed USB-Interface and click the test-button, I cannot hear a test-sound but the windows closes immediately. amarok is still using the old onboard soundcard. any ideas? [07:43] sarmisak: I've alloted 8 GB, my entire server's only 8 GB anyway. [07:44] sarmisak: i'd like to point out rsync --compress ;) [07:44] Flannel: are you telling me dd if=/dev/hda of=/mbr.bin is where it tells you? [07:44] !airport [07:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about airport [07:44] ! edirol [07:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about edirol [07:44] !ua-1ex [07:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about ua-1ex [07:44] cast|lir: not a big rsync fan, i didn't know that, my apologies :D [07:44] <[VGN]Starlock> i looking for a really good qauilty video/media player becuase alot of them have crap qaulity can anyone help? [07:44] how big is the best performace [07:44] I have apache2 installed via synaptics and xampp installed. Its seems that I can't run more than one instance of apache even though I have them listening on different port. [07:44] laeg: that should probably have a count= bs= argument FWIW [07:45] Can anyone help pls? [07:45] hawodi: what's your error message when trying to start? [07:45] Flannel: aren't you looking at that a little bit wrong? [07:45] need a little assitance [07:45] sarmisak cast|lir so yeah, this will be the 'first backup' and from there I'll be pushing the files over to my VM, and from there, every other day I'll rsync (which...will be like, two files changed) [07:45] Any suggestions on how to manage an Apple Airport from Ubunut? [07:45] about airport [07:45] laeg: What do you mean? [07:45] is this a linode vm [07:46] laeg: that command saves the data to the file "mbr.bin" which is in / [07:46] cast|lir: Debian server, Debian VM, using ubuntu to host the VM. [07:46] @danielito, xampp tells me another instance of apache, mysql is already running. [07:46] Flannel: i mean how can you look at what i'm looking and and tell me it says where to find the boot sector? [07:46] I need something like AWstats that doesn't use frames... [07:46] ahh. [07:46] cast|lir: why? [07:46] Flannel: is it worth upgrading ? I mean, i'm a desktop user, and its not like i need that much stability to love old and over-tested packages, but 8.10 is supported only until 2010, whike 8.04 is supported to 2012. Anyway, ubuntu 8.11 will come and i will be able to upgrade by apt-get and then i will still be supported am i right ? I just DON'T want to download cds and reinstall it, thats all i don't wanna do [07:46] upgrading to 8 [07:47] laeg: otherwise it'll copy the entire drive to the mbr.bin file [07:47] xjkx: you mean 9.04 [07:47] Flannel: i didn't know it was a command, i thought maybe it was the content of the mbr which i would have to edit with nano or something [07:47] laeg: which might be funny if mbr.bin is on a filesystem on the drive, but anyway...MBR is only 512 bytes IIRC [07:47] xjkx: 8.11 wont't come out. 10.04 will come out, and you'll be able to upgrade from 8.04 straight to 10.04. It's up to you. You have to decide if upgrading is worth it [07:47] xjkx: or the other release of 8.10? [07:47] ever wanted to release version [07:47] hawodi: well, then probably another instance is already running ;) normally it's no problem to run more instances of apache as long as they listen on different ports [07:48] laeg: No, that's a command that'll back up your MBR to a file. A later command then takes that file and restores it to the MBR [07:48] hawodi: did you configure to run mysql on a different port as well? [07:48] Flannel: 9.04 will come out... [07:48] will come out ? [07:48] cast|lir: Flannel okay, does it matter than i have more than one partition already set up on this hdd? [07:48] stones: Yes. [07:48] cast|lir: sorry that was for Flannel [07:48] scizzo-: i meant the next release of the normal version, the next coming after 8.10 [07:48] danielito: yes I did. [07:48] cast|lir: so you're saying i should use dd if=/dev/hda of=/mbr.bin bs= count= [07:48] ? [07:49] I will check the config file again. [07:49] laeg: Likely not. Actually, it won't at all. If sda doesn't hae your MBR, then windows won't overwrite it. [07:49] bin file mbr [07:49] http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download.html [07:49] free download [07:49] my free time [07:49] laeg: Also, that should be /dev/sda instead of /dev/hda on almost all recent Ubuntu versions [07:49] Let me do that now.

[07:50] How to install Virtual Box on Ubuntu 8.10, ? [07:50] Hi, I have a PocketPC (XV6700) and I am trying to tether my wireless internet on Ubuntu 8.10. Anyone been successful in getting this device to show up in Ubuntu as a modem so that a connection be created over it, and if so, how? [07:50] 9.04, no new features? [07:51] laeg: count= 1 bs=512 will be enough to capture the boot sector [07:51] the terminal ? sector by [07:51] Boohbah: uhmm, so normal version users have to download like 500mb+ packages by apt-get dist-upgrade two times a year ? is that the main advantage of not using LTS ? [07:51] not advantage, i meant the opposite of advantage [07:51] cast|lir: didn't you just say count should = and bs = ? [07:51] stones: there are new features in 9.04 [07:51] stones: notifications and so on [07:52] stones: new xorg system...etc [07:52] gksu gnome, xorg suddenly crashes here is one [07:52] xjkx: The main advantage is you don't have to upgrade for a few years. You can be "current" by only upgrading every 24 months instead of 6 months. [07:52] laeg: i mean to say, bs should be 512 and count should be 1 [07:52] laeg: man dd explains how that equates to copying 512 bytes, [07:52] stones: however......I would rather see more work on the stability and user friendly + package system then a bunch of flashy flash flash features....once the base is good then the rest will come.....IMO [07:52] danielito: how do I check used ports pls? [07:53] Flannel: uhmm, sounds more comfortable to me [07:53] xjkx: Sounds like you should stick with 8.04 then. [07:53] cast|lir: so the command is correct as listed "dd if=/dev/sda of=/mbr.bin bs=512 count=1"?

[08:16] ubundude, you too? [08:17] laeg: Whichever partition you install Windows to, say... its sda2, conver the letter into a number (a=1, b=2, etc) and then you have two numbers.

[08:27] ubuntu1963UC: are you asking me? [08:27] hello [08:27] gmathews, or if i'm wrong, sorry... [08:27] hello everyone [08:28] hi [08:28] so is everyone here a veteran at ubuntu? [08:28] nope [08:28] I'm new to ubuntu (I come from the gentoo's world) and I'm in trouble with diskless workstation [08:28] not me [08:28] Steff: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 [08:28] hmm i have a question.. it is possible to have function compiz on KDE 4.2 ? [08:29] MyNameIsEarlB: don't ask to ask just ask the question [08:29] hello [08:31] I have a old mailserver on ubuntu dapper, does anyone know where i can get a up-to-date sources.list? [08:31] Turzsi: you mean have the effects enabled? [08:31] how do i make windows appear underneath the panels [08:31] ubuntu desktop effects [08:31] Turzsi: why shouldn't it? [08:31] Scizzo: i mean desktop cube like gnome [08:31] Turzsi: that is something you set in the effects of compiz [08:31] i just started with a fresh install of linux, i was trying to make audio work with a game by using oss4 instead of alsa, but now no sound works, ive been fiddling with it for a while now, how can i make sound work again? [08:31] the effects of compiz [08:31] Turzsi: its a compiz thing not a KDE thing [08:31] Turzsi: or a gnome thing...... [08:31] well.. [08:31] i've saw some videos [08:31] Turzsi: there are variouos of ways to get effects using compiz......compiz is the effects the effects are not determined by the window manager or the system itself but compiz is doing that [08:31] and they have on every one desktop the various wallpapers [08:31] chaqui: alsa can have a oss compability layer, i recall [08:32] MyNameIsEarlB: depends on what your goal is really [08:32] scizzo: so ?.. it is possible to have working compiz on KDE 4.2 ? [08:32] How do I get back my login screen in Intrepid? [08:32] gmathews: logout [08:32] * krzysztof is back (gone 01:03:02) [08:32] errrr.. Intrepid has the option of disabling the loging screen Boohbah [08:33] cast|lir: its completely not working now, i did removed the package as i installed it as a .deb file, i was smart enough for that but majorily i was way over my head [08:33] *login [08:33] Turzsi: most of the effects you have seen I believe is compiz only not the manager itself [08:33] well, i have auto hide panels on the top and on the bottom, i also have a panel on the left, i would like to make it so when i open certain windows it will resize the windows to "underlap" the panel on the left === Jon is now known as Jonbo [08:33] gmathews: then go in the the system administration login manager config and enable it [08:33] to enable root login for a presentation with an external usb drive [08:33] Turzsi: I don't use KDE.....but yes I believe that KDE 4.2 is supporting compiz....since that is standadalone [08:34] Scizzo: it looks like that the effects of KDE desktop its from KDE [08:34] believe is compiz only not the owner [08:34] lo [08:34] well ok i will try to install it.. [08:34] Turzsi: what video have you been looking at? [08:34] yeah try it [08:34] yeah [08:34] Boohbah: is the 'Enable accessible login' [08:34] scizzo: some on youtube i dont remember [08:34] later all [08:34] Boohbah: i mean is it 'Enable accessible login'? [08:34] scizzo : i just install ubuntu 8 [08:35] go minimal like fluxbox [08:35] i go back to low graph with that [08:35] Turzsi: I am about 98% sure those effects you have seen is compiz-fusion or the like [08:35] + xcompmgr :) [08:35] does anyone know how i can find proftpd-mysql sudo apt-get install proftpd-mysql is not finding the package in ubuntu 8.10 [08:35] have seen is scizzo- or the client has to be installed [08:35] ubuntu1963UC: you have lost me already [08:35] hi [08:36] ubuntu1963UC: you are not asking the actual question..... :P [08:36] am asking ascizzo-ut featrues and ussability [08:36] omg im scared something is hapening.. o.o [08:36] ubuntu1963UC: ?

It worked nicely in Hardy but it just silently fails with intrepid.. someone mentioned that switching to a bluetooth 2.0 adapter might help and I just thought I'd check if anyone else has bluetooth working before I go and get one [10:55] The Tajiki keyboard layout has two different letters on one key, how do I enter the 2nd letter?

[10:59] cwillu: ah [10:59] edgy, but that's not everyone [10:59] i just wanna see a mac webcam [10:59] cwillu: you can disable ssh logins easily [10:59] edgy, more importantly, the usual ubuntu login isn't terribly security critical, as there's no remote services that are enabled by default [10:59] cwillu: actually why should you install any ssh server on a desktop machine? [11:00] sarmisak, I prefer sftp over samba [11:00] remote access to files, mostly [11:00] sftp:// in nautilus is a wonderful thing :p [11:00] cwillu: I use nfs for it ;) much faster in my experience [11:01] !enter | cwillu [11:01] cwillu: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [11:01] sarmisak: and of course.. for those times when everything just freezes.. usually you can connect usign ssh and kill whatever is behaving badly =) [11:01] cwillu: thx again. I appreicate your help very much. thanks root______ and the others too [11:01] how do i install ubuntu on a machine with only 16kb or ram? [11:01] sarmisak, edgy, it's more that installing a single package (...-server) can easily cause a broader security exposure than expected [11:01] Keal: you don't.. that's an awful small amount of ram [11:02] it is a PET4026-N [11:02] it is a PET4016-N * === Snigepige_ is now known as Snigepige [11:02] i wondered if there was an ubuntu that small === SkG is now known as [SkG] [11:02] Keal: it could be a small spanish car for all ubuntu cares.. 16 kb of memory won't let you do anything [11:02] Slart: ctrl+alt+f1, the old friendly terminal window ;) [11:02] are you sure?

[11:04] anyone want to hop on a retro project of mine to make a unix that runs in 16kb? [11:04] Slart, it's worked for me for the last couple releases, presuming you're running a recent'ish driver [11:04] Slart: nvidia is a better choice in my opinion [11:05] on the keyboard what's the "third level modifier"?

[11:06] Slart how many ctrl, alt, shift, numpad keys do you have? [11:06] aoupi_: sounds like you've got numpad enabled [11:06] cwillu: :D awesome [11:06] also do you have 2 windows keys or 1? [11:06] Slart* [11:07] Slart: thank you [11:07] Slart: yea, now it's fixed :) [11:07] cwillu: thanks! [11:07] Slart, Keal, aoupi_, why ask for more info when you can just guess right the first time? :p [11:07] this problem often happens on laptops that don't have both left and right of all keys [11:07] Slart* [11:07] well i'm totally at a loss, i have a user account that i can not ssh into, and the username is in the AllowUsers line of /etc/ssh/sshd_config the private and public keys were copied over from one box to the other. the ownership and permissions are correct on .ssh and .ssh/* ? [11:07] Keal: 2 ctrl, 2 shift, one alt, one altgr, 2 windows keys (with flags), 1 weirdo key with some kind of menu on it [11:07] root______, passwd -u on that machine? [11:07] it keeps asking for a password. and there isn't one. [11:08] root______, account might just be locked [11:08] cwillu: S key is on the left of the keyboard, the messages were mixed with 5, it's on the letter I usually [11:08] cwillu of course it's locked [11:08] where is the 'altgr' located Slart? [11:08] cwillu all accounts are locked on all my boxen. [11:08] Keal: right side of space [11:08] is the other alt left side of space Slart? [11:08] aoupi_, dvorak, or other non-qwerty layout? [11:08] hi [11:09] cwillu: yea dvorak :) [11:09] root______, check /var/log/auth.log on the box [11:09] sarmisak, ^^^ I win :p [11:09] Keal: yes.. (one more question and I'm googling for "keyboard" and sending you the url) [11:09] i have a problame in iptable [11:09] -bash: iptables: command not found [11:09] Slart: you have "left-ctrl, fn, windows, space, left-alt, menu, right-ctrl" correct? [11:09] cwillu: applause :D [11:09] erm Slart i mean... [11:10] Slart: you have "left-ctrl, fn, windows, left-alt, space, alt-gr, menu, right-ctrl" correct? [11:10] no body answer me [11:10] cwillu ah i see it. the change in /etc/passwd is not updated. it's looking for a non-existant shell [11:10] Keal: I have no keys marked fn.. Ctrl Windows Alt Space AltGr Windows WierdMenuKey Ctrl [11:11] Slart that is a really messsed up layout [11:11] that layout was only used from 92 thru 96 [11:12] i think if i recall correctly [11:12] look up your layout by year for ibm keyboards [11:12] it is either an ibm or memorex layout [11:12] if i recall correctly [11:12] Keal: that's the way it came from the store.. here's a pic http://img.hexus.net/v2/gaming/steel/s6g_large_1.jpg [11:13] there is no support of this type of tv tuner. I've tried to install other device of aver, but no solution...any idea, how to get that work? [11:14] yeah that isn't a 102us keyboard [11:14] you are using the 102us driver [11:14] Keal: nope [11:14] you are either using the 102us or the 135us driver [11:14] i forgot what the actual number of keys is for the '135' us tho [11:15] you want to use a british driver [11:15] Keal: and googling for "keyboard" and looking at the pictures they all use the same layout as I have.. [11:15] Keal: and I lied a bit.. my keyboard doesn't look exactly like that.. it's a swedish keyboard [11:15] shams: If there is no support.. that's about it. You can try to get it to work, sure, but it might take a long time before you find anyone that has a working configuration. [11:15] the tilda key is missing and it has a british pound sterling instead of a $ [11:15] it has 3 alternate keys instead of tilda [11:15] in te upper left below esc [11:16] in the* Slart [11:16] also it has a different bottom row layout [11:17] alt gr could mean grave [11:17] thks [11:17] Slart [11:17] hmmm no joy. [11:17] ` <- is a grave, this is the tilda -> ~ they are the regular and shifted versions of the upper left key below esc [11:17] Keal: are you going somewhere with this? [11:18] i seem to have somewhere disarmed one account in sshd on three boxes ;/ [11:19] also the 3 keys in the row that notches into the carriage return / enter key are wrong, Slart [11:20] they are supposed to be ;: '" and the third key on the right isn't even supposed to be there [11:20] the numeric row should be: `~ 1! 2@ 3# 4$ 5% 6^ 7& 8* 9( 0) -_ =+ [11:20] Slart [11:21] also Slart, your numpad lacks a = key [11:21] !ot [11:21] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[11:24] On your ssh connection ? [11:24] yes [11:24] date should do it [11:24] ehem..

[11:25] Slart i was going to tell you the last key you need to modify in order to making a working .deb for ubuntu for your keyboard but apparently you are just a troll [11:25] can someone tell me why i cant type an exponent in octave ?

[11:26] Hi, if I used dsa instead of rsa for ssh is the connection still encrypted? [11:26] yes [11:26] cwillu: you still here? [11:26] kinda [11:27] edmondscommerce: myself I use gFTP [11:27] gftp just bugs me [11:27] trying filezilla which seems nice but not stable :-( [11:27] Keal: yes.. I'm so sorry for my trollish ways.. I'll go to bed without dessert tonight.. now can we just not continue this discussion? [11:28] coobe: does octave use ^ or ** for exponents? [11:29] hello?

[11:31] cwillu: such as my "Windows XP" partition or "storage" partition [11:31] hi..anyone know to disable dsl connection/pppoe in ubuntu hardy, and connect using cable from router? [11:31] slart: im in terminal now downloading it [11:32] ubundude, generally in /media unless you have a particular purpose that a standard folder already exists for [11:32] ubundude, /media/windows [11:32] etc [11:32] christheferal_: don't forget to restart firefox [11:32] treac: #ubuntu-doc [11:32] cwillu: so they go -in- the mount points? [11:32] opening firefox again [11:33] cheers myrtti; none there at the moment. [11:33] not mythtv doc guys anyhow [11:33] ack [11:33] there is no "You don't have flash enabled" error on youtube, just no video [11:34] cwillu: i'm trying to choose which of these options to set each of my non-LVM related partitions to [11:34] http://linuxbsdos.com/wp-content/uploads/ubuntulvm/modifylv/modifylv4.png [11:34] christheferal_: hmmm... no error messages when you installed it? [11:34] nope [11:34] dont think so [11:34] hold on [11:34] hi..anyone know how to disable dsl and connect from cccable like normal?? [11:34] christheferal_: and you don't have noscript/adblock/flashblock or such hiding it? [11:34] can't see any errors [11:34] ubundude, look up the debian policy guide, the section on the folder structure, it's good information [11:34] nope, don't have any extensions installed [11:34] let me double check though [11:35] christheferal_: and you're using the latest ubuntu? 8.10? [11:35] cwillu: where do i find that? [11:35] slart: yes [11:35] google [11:35] don't have the link handy [11:35] christheferal_:what i do was download flash plugin from adobe n installed from terminal [11:35] christheferal_: and you didn't forget one firefox window somewhere? try running pkill firefox in a terminal to kill any processes left behind [11:35] Hi all.. I just installed 8.10, and I got problems with making my Graphics driver work.. I have a nvidia 7000m, and apparently it's set as "supported" in both nvidia-glx-177 and nvidia-glx-180, but they doesn't work? [11:36] xiroV, define 'doesn't work' [11:36] nell: they don't offer AMD64 support for flash [11:36] slart: I'll try that, hold on [11:37] christheferal_: actually there is the flash 10 beta for 64bit.. but you'll have to go to Adobe labs and download it from there [11:37] slart: restarted firefox, still isn't working. [11:37] oh..i don't know then [11:37] slart: should I uninstall it and go to adobe labs? [11:37] cwillu, well.. they act like nothing happened.. I download and install with synaptic, and when thats done, i restarted, just in case it needed that. And then it just booted up as usually.. i don't see any change at all.. and besides i still only got the 800x600 as the highest resolution. [11:37] nell: thanks anyway [11:37] Slart christheferal_ why are you talking about not being able to find something there is no indication of running in the first place? [11:38] christheferal_: nah, using the repos is easier.. you'll get updated versions automatically and so on [11:38] cwillu: then why all the info in google for dsa says there is no encryption in it! [11:38] slart: okay, I'm very new to ubuntu, I don't understand how to do this xD [11:38] cwillu: as if rsa for signing and encryption but dsa for signing only. this is what I, at least, understood [11:39] cwillu: if i said i wanted to use an LVM partition for installing windows XP what would i set this screen to for that partition [11:39] http://linuxbsdos.com/wp-content/uploads/ubuntulvm/modifylv/modifylv3.png [11:39] edgy, dsa is a signature algorithm, used to authenticate to ssh. Encryption happens using symmetric key encryption negotiated afterwards [11:39] Slart christheferal_ stop talking about not being able to find a process that doesn't exist and there is no evidence at all it does anyways [11:39] cwillu, besides, the last time i tried to get one of the drivers, it said there was a error installing the package.. [11:39] ubundude, you can't install windows on lvm, windows doesn't have an lvm driver that I know of [11:39] anyone know to to disable dsl/pppoe? [11:39] slart: huh??! [11:39] christheferal_: when you install software from the repositories (that is using apt-get, synaptic or Add/Remove) you can update that software very easily.. and also it's checked to work with your version of ubuntu [11:39] christheferal_: ignore Keal [11:39] is compiz also available for kde?

[11:40] cwillu: i thought i could use an LVM'd drive like a regular partitioned hdd......... [11:40] ubundude, for os's that support it yes. It's a wonderful thing for servers, for instance [11:40] okay, I am TOTALLY lost [11:40] Slart stop flooding [11:40] ubundude, and the day microsoft writes a compatible lvm driver, you'll be able to use it with windows too :p [11:40] cwk [11:40] Keal: do you have Ubuntu support problem? [11:40] cwk [11:40] Keal, please behave [11:40] christheferal_: when you install it in some other way you'll have to check for updates and such yourself.. so we recommend using the repositories unless you have a special reason [11:41] cwillu: and this encryption is not part of dsa, unlike rsa, right? [11:41] Slart keeps baiting the channel and causing massive walls of text [11:41] is compiz also available for kde? [11:41] slart: okay, so to get the beta of the 64-bit version for ubuntu, how should I go about it? [11:41] cwillu: but you can even change the file system to fat32, only linux OS's can exist on an LVM hdd? [11:41] Keal, please stop [11:41] edgy, rsa isn't doing the encryption for the session either [11:41] i dont see "massive walls of text" here [11:41] Keal, you are the problem, not Slart [11:42] thats what I was thinking lol [11:42] christheferal_: first, uninstall the flashplugin you just installed.. run "sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree" [11:42] edgy, public key encryption is really really slow. You only use it to exchange the private keys needed to use symmetric encryption, which is way way faster [11:42] - [11:42] Slart: okay, done [11:42] ubundude, indeed, but that doesn't mean windows can read them. lvm is kind of a 'meta' fs type [11:42] christheferal_: then you download a file from adobe labs, hang on.. I'll get the url for you [11:42] any guesses about what could be wrong with my graphic card/driver? [11:42] Slart: thanks :) [11:43] hey all, the wireless network icon is a bit strange for me, i recently reinstalled and upgradet to inrepid and i can no longer chose a wireless network i want to connect to, does anybody have a solution to this problem? [11:43] it says device unmanaged [11:43] what is there other than gnome / kde / x for ubuntu as an interface .deb ? [11:43] Keal: huh? [11:43] cwillu: wow, i don't know where to go from here then........... [11:43] nUbuntu is what i use [11:43] Keal: Myth i think is other than those you mentioned [11:43] Keal, 'xfce' isn't x, x is used by all of them :p [11:43] christheferal_: here it is http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [11:44] ubundude, what do you need to do? [11:44] Keal basicly u can use them all [11:44] ubundude, linux isn't the only os that supports it, but windows isn't one of the other ones that do ;p [11:44] balle_ i thought myth was a 3d accellerator lib not an api? [11:44] keal, nubuntu uses flux [11:44] there are more in the repos then this [11:44] Keal Mythbuntu [11:44] !de [11:44] In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[11:44] bah [11:44] Slart: okay, downloaded it [11:45] Keal: http://www.mythbuntu.org/ [11:45] cwillu: honestly i wanted to have partitions like the following [11:45] christheferal_: it's an archive.. unpack it and you will find one or two files.. right? [11:45] Slart: one file [11:45] ok after several changes made and testing ubuntu dapper and debian lenny scp user1@host1:file user2@host2:path will work with passwordless public keys but not with password protected public keys. [11:45] cwillu: Ubuntu, Experimental, Windows XP and Storage [11:45] Slart: libflashplayer.so [11:45] wait, is this mythtv for ubuntu or myth3d for ubuntu? [11:45] http://www.nubuntu.org [11:46] hey all, the wireless network icon is a bit strange for me, i recently reinstalled and upgradet to inrepid and i can no longer chose a wireless network i want to connect to, and on the wireless it says device unmanaged, anybody got a possible solution for this one? [11:46] not sure if anyone still interested in that tho [11:46] ubundude, okay, so make 4 normal partitions [11:46] christheferal_: ok, put that file into the folder ~/.mozilla/plugins [11:46] ubundude, you don't need lvm to do that [11:46] anyone mange to get ubuntu working on an " asus eee top" ? [11:46] ... balle_ [11:46] cwillu: when I read the two articles about rsa and dsa in wikipedia for example, encryption is mentioned in rsa entry with details but for dsa entry no encryption is mentioned at all. this confused me, so now you are saying rsa and dsa are only for signing then ... still confused ;) [11:46] Slart: k, newb question, where do I find that folder xD [11:46] christheferal_: that is the .mozilla folder in your home folder.. it might be hidden if you're using Nautilus.. press ctrl+H to see hidden folders [11:46] cwillu: the idea of resizing any of those was the solution to guessing how much i would need or not need [11:47] balle_ is this mythtv for ubuntu or myth3d for ubuntu? [11:47] christheferal_: ~ = your home folder [11:47] edgy, they're only used for authentication in ssh [11:47] christheferal_: ie /home/christheferal or whatever your username is [11:47] Slart: that's what I thought, wasn't showing [11:47] Slart: got it now [11:47] ubundude, gparted should be able to handle what you need [11:47] !gparted [11:47] gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [11:47] ubundude, it's also on the ubuntu live/install cd [11:47] cwillu: and what's used for encryption in the connection? [11:47] christheferal_: then try to restart firefox and see if youtube works [11:48] Keal: well it is like xubuntu but with the mythTV thing i guess... [11:48] Slart: .mozilla/extensions? I can't find a plugins folder [11:48] edgy, man ssh, then type: /encrypt and use n and N to skip forward and back [11:48] christheferal_: then try creating it , "mkdir plugins" in a terminal [11:49] Slart: k, restarting ff [11:49] cwillu: i mean resizing partions down the road after i already have everything set up and OSes installed [11:49] edgy ok after several changes made and testing ubuntu dapper and debian lenny scp user1@host1:file user2@host2:path will work with passwordless public keys but not with password protected public keys. not sure if anyone still interested in that tho [11:49] ubundude, gparted can resize stuff :p [11:49] Slart: Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. [11:50] christheferal_: ok.. go to Tools, Add-ons in firefox.. look at the "plugins" tab [11:50] edgy i don't like passwordless public sshkeys but it does work that way [11:50] Slart: oh, maybe its not enabled [11:50] cwillu: so much effort for nothing......... [11:50] Slart: I see many plugins, I see Shockwave Flash, but its 9.0, not 10 beta [11:50] so in otherwords, balle_, mythbuntu lacks everything that makes it ubuntu and it is just bare debian with mythtv installed? [11:51] cwillu: thanks I will read that. [11:51] * root_____ isn't sure that the password on an sshkey really adds any seurity really if they have your key, they can john the password out of it... [11:51] has anyone reporting random corrupting of files in jaunty? [11:51] christheferal_: ah.. open a terminal and run this "sudo updatedb; locate libflashplayer.so" [11:52] christheferal_: it will give you a list of filenames after a while.. it might take a minute or so though [11:52] Slart: k [11:52] !jaunty | jron [11:52] jron: Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support.

[11:55] edgy if you run ssh-keygen then copy ~/.ssh/id_rsa to the remote ~/.ssh/known_hosts you know all about that though i'm sure. [11:55] Slart: what does this mean?

[12:01] christheferal_: but you do see the flashplugin 10 beta now? [12:01] cat even [12:01] gmathews: Wine + Damn NFO Viewer [12:01] Slart: well, there is no player appearing, but there is no "No flash player error" [12:01] more [12:01] Slart: correct [12:02] d--2 he said decent more is disqualified. [12:02] :( [12:02] hi how do I install the gtk+theme engine in ubuntu? [12:02] christheferal_: what about some other flash sites? [12:03] christheferal_: or try this.. close firefox.. then start it from a terminal.. that way you'll see any output from firefox [12:03] oh yeah, you can use your browser as an NFO viewer if you rename it to .txt :P [12:03] Slart: no other sites are working either [12:03] Slart: do I type start firefox? [12:03] D--2: NFO viewers need to use a font in a particular character encoding which the browser will not normally do [12:03] D--2 yup i was waiting for you to name "most" ;/ [12:04] christheferal_: just "firefox" will do [12:04] Slart: dk [12:04] Samus_Aran: Isn't there a native one for Ubuntu? [12:04] Slart: loaded [12:05] gmathews: I haven't ever found a native GNU/Linux NFO viewer. the last time I looked was a couple years ago, there may be a new project since I looked. I looked quite extensively at the time [12:05] christheferal_: now go to youtube and watch the terminal window for any errors or such [12:05] gmathews: Damn NFO Viewer works near-perfectly in Wine, so it's no biggie. and you can easily set it up in any file manager to load when you click on an NFO file [12:05] terminal hasn't changed [12:06] slart: no errors [12:06] how to install the quick heal anti virus [12:06] christheferal_: and still no youtube video [12:06] hi how do I install the gtk+theme engine in ubuntu? [12:06] rofl, D--2: clearly if you are recommending Vim or less for viewing NFO files, then you don't know anything about what NFO files are [12:06] slart: no youtube videos [12:06] Samus_Aran: http://home.gna.org/nfoview/ [12:07] Samus_Aran: Using http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83499 as the guide to get it work [12:07] Gautam package manager ? [12:07] rofl, D--2: NFO files need to use the same character set as what was in DOS by default [12:07] Gautam what is it for ? [12:07] gmathews: I will take a look, thank you. [12:08] Samus_Aran LC_ALL=C less file.nfo [12:08] this is use for virus [12:08] christheferal_: hmm.. just thought of something.. close firefox.. then run this "ps -A | grep -i flash" [12:08] christheferal_: do you get any output from that? [12:09] virus is success or not in ubuntu [12:09] slart: no output [12:09] Gautam, no need [12:09] christheferal_: or "ps -A | grep -i firefox" [12:09] Gautam i kinda figured that from the name. i meant are you wanting to scan emails with it or debug a windows partition or ??? [12:09] root_____: that will not display the NFO file in cp437 encoding [12:09] how do I install the gtk+theme engine in ubuntu? [12:09] Samus_Aran are you sure ? [12:10] slart: 11680 ? 00:00:17 firefox [12:10] christheferal_: even when firefox is closed? [12:10] root_____: I have seen no X or console terminals capable of properly displaying cp437 characters -- so yes, as far as I know [12:10] slart: oh, that was with firefox closed [12:10] paul68: there are many GTK+ theme engines [12:10] slart: open firefox and try? [12:10] hi root i want to asked u virus will be create the problem in ubunmtu or not [12:10] christheferal_: hmm.. try "pkill firefox" and see if it goes away [12:11] Gautam, no need [12:11] Gautam no [12:11] paul68: try this: sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines [12:11] slart: now there is no output [12:11] !virus > Gautam [12:11] Gautam, please see my private message [12:11] christheferal_: ok.. give youtube one more try [12:11] if we want install than that will work or not [12:12] slart: no video [12:12] Gautam, there is no need for antivirus in Ubuntu [12:12] slart: do you want me to tell you all the plugins I see? [12:13] christheferal_: and Tools, Add-ons, plugins show you're using flash 10 beta? [12:13] root what r u want to say [12:13] Gautam i've been runnning linux for about ten years now and never so much as thought of virii [12:13] slart: yes [12:13] slart: it's enabled [12:13] christheferal_: and there isn't anything else in the plugins list that sounds like flash? swfdec? gnash? [12:13] Gautam read the page ubottu linked you in the other tab ^ [12:13] please explan virii [12:14] read the page [12:14] Gautam, this is not the place [12:14] bazhang: unless you run a web, file or e-mail server and want to check those files/attachments before they are served to Windows users [12:14] Samus_Aran: already newest installed however I still get the error when selecting the theme I want [12:14] virii == plural form of word virus [12:14] paul68: which theme ? [12:14] Gautam, you are safe from virii [12:14] slart: okay, here is what I have: default plugin, demo print plugin, divx web player, quicktime, shockwave flash (9) disabled. shockwave flash (10) enabled. totem web browser plugin, windows media player [12:14] thanks [12:15] root_____: not really.. viruses is the correct form according to the language-people [12:15] how to install php [12:15] I used to think the plural of virus was virii, until I actually looked it up one day and found out that it is in fact not virii but viruses. [12:15] Samus_Aran: this theme http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Slickness+Black?content=73210 [12:15] Slart maybe google needs a dictionary [12:15] Samus_Aran: but it is in fact virii [12:16] If I have 4GB of RAM and (running linux-generic kernel) 'free' reports 3GB of RAM, is the other 1GB being used by the kernel? Or is 1GB of my physical RAM not being used by any process? [12:16] Boohbah: no, it is not. look it up in a dictionary =) [12:16] allquixotic: if you have more than around 3.5GB of RAM on a 32bit kernel, you need to use PAE [12:16] Boohbah: just google for "virii".. I think wikipedia has a pretty decent page about it [12:17] hi... i don't start fingerprint on my notebook..... somebody help me? [12:17] allquixotic: the only way to get PAE on Ubuntu 32bit is to either recompile the stock kernels, or use the server kernel package [12:17] allquixotic: the server kernel package has some other downsides, however (no preempt, a I/O scheduler which is not good for desktop responsiveness, etc.) [12:17] allquixotic: upgrading to 64bit if possible is a far better solution [12:17] root i want asked another thing if any case virus in my pantdrive than virus will not enter my system or not [12:17] christheferal_: well.. I'm all out of ideas then.. installing from the repos doesn't work, installing manually didn't work.. we've removed all other plugins.. still doesn't work.. [12:18] Gautam, into ubuntu? no. [12:18] Samus_Aran: I was aware of the effects of -server kernel, as well as 64-bit... thanks for info... my question was mainly about what the kernel configs say is the 3G/1G split, i.e. the kernel gets 1GB of address space and userspace gets 3G... I was wondering if it could actually address all 4GB of RAM without HIGHMEM_64G enabled (i.e. PAE) [12:18] how to install php [12:18] slart: darn, does this mean I have to go back to vista? :-s *bites nails* [12:18] Samus_Aran: any thoughts? [12:18] Gautam, for a server? [12:19] i heard the v word [12:19] im sorry [12:19] lol [12:19] allquixotic: I think the kernel takes what it needs.. if you've got a graphics card with 500MB of memory it needs 500MB address space.. and so on [12:19] lol [12:19] Gautam - apt-get install php5 [12:19] christheferal_: nah.. let's not get drastic =) [12:19] slart: lmao [12:19] !virus | Gautam have you looked at this? [12:19] Gautam have you looked at this?: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [12:19] allquixotic: you can't use a full 4GB without PAE. if I recall correctly, you lose ~800MB of the 4GB [12:19] Slart: my Crestline chipset is on UMA, so it steals 128MB of the 4GB address space... ah... no wonder it can't address the full 4GB with only 32-bit pagetables! :) [12:19] christheferal_: I might have missed something.. [12:19] Slart: wikipedia is made of lies based on half-truths sprinkled with invention [12:20] slart: oh? [12:20] hello all people [12:20] hello ufa [12:20] Samus_Aran: Indeed. Too bad. I think I can manage on 64-bit; it's definitely a lot better than it was a few years ago, with beta Flash and Java plugins natively 64-bit.. [12:20] does anyone know if kde4.2 will be released for intrepid? [12:21] ufa backported probably. [12:21] how to install php [12:21] Gotu open a terminal [12:21] please tell me about proccess [12:21] root_____ >> thx a bunch [12:21] Gotu, someone answered you, please dont ask again [12:21] Gotu sudo apt-get install php5 [12:21] allquixotic: I have found almost all the 32bit stuff runs fine without issue out of the box, e.g. Second-Life. however, I've been having issues with my Flash plugin [12:22] how may i disable the big blue screen asking for userinput on installation of for example mysql-server (asking for mysql root password) ? anyone that can help me please? [12:22] Samus_Aran I'm trying to get flash player working too xD [12:22] allquixotic: in Opera it can not load YouTube videos and will often crash if I try to load YouTube videos. other sites work or not, seemingly at random [12:22] same thing [12:22] well i'm out. good day and good luck to your pinguin [12:22] Gotu did you known the process? [12:23] Samus_Aran: this theme http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Slickness+Black?content=73210 [12:23] with flash 9, flash 10 doesn't load anything for me [12:23] allquixotic: in Firefox, about half the time when a YouTube video loads, there is no picture, just audio. reloading sometimes takes 6-7 tries to get a picture, once this happens [12:23] Samus_Aran: Actually I'm sort of a power user hacker on Second Life :) I am talking to Michelle2 Zenovka (the maintainer of omvviewer) on EFnet right now... capitanterrex maintains a PPA of SL release candidates, native 64-bit builds for Ubuntu >= 8.04, based on Michelle's source code. [12:23] paul68: I took a look at that, and it doesn't list any theming engine. did you check in the package that you downloaded to see if it includes a theme engine of its own ? many themes dow that [12:23] int terminal cammand no found [12:23] *do that [12:23] hey folks [12:23] how can I test that my crontab is working? [12:23] or even see the output from it? [12:24] Samus_Aran: how would I reconise such a file? [12:24] allquixotic: you have access to a 64bit build of Second-Life ? [12:24] Samus_Aran: http://omvviewer.byteme.org.uk [12:24] hi [12:24] Gotu on terminal write - > sudo su [12:24] quik__: output should show up in /var/log/messages, I believe [12:24] jaspion, use sudo [12:25] jaspion, please dont recommend that here [12:25] Samus_Aran: As you probably know, SL is open source now, so Michelle and anyone else is free to create their own builds :) Michelle has integrated OpenAL instead of FMOD, more system libs instead of shipping the world with the package, native system fonts... it works great [12:25] bazhang why not? [12:25] quik__, just make a cron line that says something like "echo test > /home//testfile.txt" without the quotes [12:25] Samus_Aran: Oh and she integrated a client-side "radar" plugin in the Edit menu [12:25] jaspion, no need for it; ubuntu uses sudo [12:25] allquixotic: I did not know it was open source now, no. I don't see how that could work, when it is a commercial program which is earning tons of money [12:25] Samus_Aran: All you have to do, to install it on Ubuntu, is bring up capitanterrex's PPA and install omvviewer [12:25] !sudo | jaspion [12:25] jaspion: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [12:26] does WINE emulate Vista 64 bit apps such as skype? [12:26] ubotty , i known this [12:26] authonticate failed [12:26] what is gksu ? I've only used gksudo [12:26] Samus_Aran: The profit potential, for Linden Lab, is all bundled-up in the wire protocol and the effects that network activity have on their servers (you know, people buying stuff...) so they couldn't care less if someone modifies the viewer. The protocols are hard to fudge. [12:26] gksu is the same thing [12:26] hm, they have the same man page [12:26] Boohbah: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/virus , http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/virus?jss=0 more reliable? [12:27] Are there any people here that're using Intrepid with a notebook with the Geforce series 9M video card? [12:27] Samus_Aran: the thing is that in Ooo I just have all the menu items listed such as save and don't have any icons there I think that it has something to do with the gtk theme engine but I am not sure [12:27] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jan 10 17:45 /usr/bin/gksudo -> gksu [12:27] I've been using a symlink all this time. =p [12:27] Samus_Aran: if you read the source code though, you'll see it is not the same [12:27] Reason I ask is because of the annoying black tty's 1 through 6 [12:27] christheferal_: skype is available nativley to linux also [12:27] authontication failed [12:27] Uninstalling nvidia driver gives back tty functionality [12:27] christheferal_: Support for running Win64 executables on Wine is _extremely_ experimental. Only Ubuntu Jaunty's Wine builds have any WinPE/AMD64 support at all, and even then, most things don't work [12:27] Gotu: what are you doing to receive that message? [12:28] christheferal_: I don't think wine does 64 bit stuff yet.. It's on the way though [12:28] Cpplus: bugs.ubuntu.com should have a bug about that [12:28] thehook: not for 64-bit though [12:28] bazhang - but if i write only "sudo" on terminal will show many options. [12:28] i want install php [12:28] jrib, correct, workaround don't work here [12:28] paul68: which version of OpenOffice.org ? [12:28] Cpplus: what did you try? [12:28] slart: ah k [12:28] !lamp > Gotu [12:28] Gotu, please see my private message [12:28] Samus_Aran: 2.4 [12:28] Cpplus, you might need to use the latest driver direct from nvidia.. [12:28] Gotu: what exactly did you type and what was the output? Show us on paste.ubuntu.com [12:28] slart any ideas yet? [12:29] jrib, are you also referring to this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/129910 [12:29] allquixotic: so it is only the viewer then which is open source ? [12:29] !lamp > thehook [12:29] I tried the workarounds there [12:29] thehook, please see my private message [12:29] christheferal_: nope.. been googling a little but no luck yet [12:29] scunizi, I'm running 180.22 already [12:29] paul68: could you upgrde to 3.0.0 and see if the issue still exists ? [12:29] Cpplus, that would be the latest... :( [12:29] *upgrade [12:29] scunizi, previous driver versions 177, 173 give the same issue too [12:29] Samus_Aran: how do I do this upgrade [12:29] Cpplus, so what are you looking for in the TTY.. color? [12:29] is there any standalone version of skype for windows that I could try on WINE? [12:29] hatter243: I have a specific cron task that I want to know the output of [12:30] scunizi, no just that they work in my native resolution, which is 1440x900 [12:30] While booting I get the proper resolution [12:30] When nvidia driver gets loaded tty go black [12:30] Samus_Aran, Slart: on a related note, did you know the plural of forum is fora? [12:30] does anyone know why a real text console (e.g. TTY2) might not have high intensity colours, remapping the bright colours to their darker counterparts ? (e.g. yellow -> brown, white -> bright grey, dark grey -> black) [12:31] Boohbah: nope [12:31] Cpplus, ah.. gotcha.. I never really looked for that.. it's like that on my hardy and intrepid install. no native resolution that is. [12:31] Samus_Aran: Exactly. The basic "simulator" software is open source too; however, a large part of the server side is still very much LL's secret. The protocols for interfacing with the grid are well-understood now (see the libsecondlife project), but people who try to run SL servers have no integration into the main grid; no physics engine; no scripts... lots of limitations.; [12:31] Cpplus: what does your /etc/initramfs-tools/modules contain now? [12:31] Boohbah: nope.. but after looking it up just now I do =) [12:32] allquixotic: hopefully the client can be improved so it is not complete shit [12:32] allquixotic: I can not believe how slow Secondd Life runs [12:32] in ubuntu how can view wireless networks with the small wireless network icon [12:32] IPOD Probem [SOLVED]: My iPod Nano just froze up in a very weird way, and I could get Ubuntu to recognize it, but any time it tried to mount, it would fail. Here's the solution: then . That resets the ipod. [12:32] jrib, nothing. lsmod does show up fbcon and vesafb as loaded [12:32] *could not [12:32] Samus_Aran: it performs great on my GTX 280 system... it's a hog, for sure, but it's not beyond _all_ the consumer hardware out there [12:33] *er, could [12:33] adub: if it's found any, click it once and it will display them [12:33] oh [12:33] allquixotic: it ran slowly on my old computer, Athlon XP 3000+ 32bit, 1GB RAM and an average AGP nVIDIA card. now I have a quad-core 64bit, 6GB RAM and a PCI Express nVIDIA card ... still just as slow [12:33] adub, click on the icon and choose connect to another network.. it should display [12:33] this is ubuntu 8.04 [12:33] scunizi, the problem also occurs if I don't use a vga option in grub config. [12:33] and im not seeing the wireless icon [12:34] allquixotic: all other 3D apps and games run at high speed, even with antialiasing and effects way up [12:34] how long does it take to get a moderator to approve a tutorial/tip on the ubuntuforums.org site? [12:34] adub see this site http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/ [12:34] allquixotic: e.g. Quake 4 or Savage 2 [12:34] Cpplus, not a big issue for me.. I don't live at the console but do like to take a trip there once in a while. [12:34] Samus_Aran: I'm on Jaunty x86 -server (PAE) with 6GB of RAM, Core i7, running x86 build of omvviewer, Nvidia GTX 280... I can get steady FPS with maximum graphics settings in SL... it almost never dips below 20 FPS, and average is about 40 [12:35] Samus_Aran: Sure, it's not able to hit the vsync dead-on, but it's imperceptibly slow because I've always used 3d games at about 20 - 40 fps... this is my first chance at having high end hardware :) [12:35] allquixotic: what is a GTX 280 in comparison to a GeForce 8600 GTS ? [12:35] >sudo su after press enter [12:36] allquixotic: and I would find it heavenly to get 20 FPS. it's so annoyingly slow that I don't use Second Life [12:36] Samus_Aran: 1 GB of VRAM and ~930 Gigaflops versus 256MB of VRAM and ~113 Gigaflops [12:36] I just load it up now and then to see if it still is pathetically slow [12:36] Samus_Aran: The bigger stats being the GTX 280 obviously ;) [12:37] the graphics are not impressive enough to require a super-computer [12:37] and giving the password after press enter and got massege cammand not found [12:37] Samus_Aran: For the purposes of SL and the OpenGL extensions it uses, both your card and mine support the same OpenGL extensions natively on the chip... the only difference is the raw processing power available [12:37] Cpplus: did you try the suggestions at the end regarding using uvesafb instead of vesafb? [12:37] my system is above average and Second Life still runs pathetically slowly [12:37] Samus_Aran: how do I do this upgrade to openoffice from the console? [12:37] scunizi, me neither, but a working tty is handy from time to time :P [12:37] Cpplus, yep.. just got mutt up and working with my gmail account.. [12:38] Gotu1: did you do what I asked? Did you pastebin the command you ran and the output? [12:38] paul68: download the .tar.bz2 file from openoffice.org for .deb (32bit or 64bit). extract the package: tar xvjf something.tar.bz2, then cd into the directory it creates, then: dpkg --install *deb */*deb [12:38] Cpplus, nice to know a few apps that run at terminal level just in case the gui takes a dump [12:38] Samus_Aran: I don't think Nvidia's Linux drivers are very efficient. They're quite featureful, but not terribly efficient. On a tiny Intel 965GM with the new Jaunty graphics stack (Intel GEM, Mesa 7.3), which is about 30x slower than a GTX 280, I can get steady 25 FPS in omvviewer... [12:38] paul68: but first make sure you uninstall OpenOffice.org 2.x, so there are no overlapping files [12:39] Samus_Aran: The raw processing power of the 965GM is _tiny_, and it's running on an ultraportable laptop with only 4GB of RAM on a 667Mhz bus... but it's performant! [12:39] Samus_Aran: The Intel drivers are very efficient though [12:39] jrib, yup I did. I'm beginning to wonder if specific videocards are bugged by this [12:39] Samus_Aran: ok [12:39] slart I g2g now [12:39] scunizi, yup [12:39] Cpplus: In my case, I had the issue in gutsy and never again since then [12:39] slart thanks for the help though :) [12:39] allquixotic: as I said, I can run other new games without any slowdowns. it's just second life that is crap. =/ [12:39] Cpplus: what card do you have? [12:40] Oooohhh! New kernel out. And it looks like they've been working on backlight issues! Yay! [12:40] allquixotic: I have been thinking to buy an Intel next time, as I love the open source nature of their drivers. truly open source, not just pretend open source like AMD/ATI =p [12:40] Samus_Aran: Try omvviewer. I wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia has performance problems with running 32-bit 3d games on a 64-bit kernel. omvviewer has performance improvement patches to begin with, but running on the native architecture would be an additional boost :) [12:40] hi guys, how do i prevent bash to record duplicate command line? [12:40] allquixotic: can you give me the URL again so I can look into that ? [12:41] allquixotic: I was very disappointed when I found no 64bit build of Second Life. [12:41] Samus_Aran: http://www.byteme.org.uk/secondlife/apt-get-a-secondlife.html for the packages; EFnet #omvviewer for support [12:41] ALright folks, I'm trying to boot CLonezilla using UNetBootin but everytime I try to boot from a USB key I get the following error /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off can anyone help me with this please? [12:41] well this belkin broadcom card is not showing anything and i dont know why [12:41] ari_stress: export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth:erasedups [12:41] jrib, GeForce 9600M GS (rev a1) [12:42] is there a driver i need to install lspci list the device [12:42] 1364 people all wanting help. I'd hate to be paid to provide support here lol [12:42] hey, i have installed java6 and copied over the plugin from the plugins directory of /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so to /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so and restared the browser and gone to javatester.org/version.html and it is still saying 1.5 and not 1.6 [12:43] Xk2c_: i notice in .bashrc it's already there, but why duplicates are still occuring? [12:43] nicolae_: It's not quite like that. It's called help and be helped. I ask questions all the time, and answer them all the time. Share what you know and ask what you don't. [12:43] adub, you can try with ndiswrapper. I've never done it but I understand it can be a pain.. broadcom in not always good for compatibility.. might be less frustration if you get something with an atheros chipset.. [12:43] nicolae_: It's almost like a wiki, except real-time. [12:43] slap_stick: you shouldn't be doing any manual copying really [12:43] Hi everyone! I need an advice. I have to share a linux app. data file with the community but I dont't like the megaupload like sites because of the little respect for the intellectual property of this kind of sites. Ufortunately I don't have my own host to share it, do you have any suggetion for this problem? [12:43] Xk2c_: owww.. it's only like this, no erase thing: export HISTCONTROL=$HISTCONTROL${HISTCONTROL+,}ignoredups [12:43] hey guys im very new when it comes to ubuntu, last night i was installing some software with add/remove programs, and now when i booted into ubuntu, i couldnt get access to the internet [12:43] is there a command line way to clear the contents of the clip board? [12:43] jrib: the only reason i did is because it said 1.5 after i installed java6 [12:43] is there a way to fix this? [12:43] Xk2c_: so, i might need to add the erase thing? [12:44] scunizi is there a good card at walmart or something i can get [12:44] slap_stick: undo what you did. Have you installed sun-java6-plugin? [12:44] hi .. system freezes when I work for a long time and after a while it displays a black screen with message ( run internal boot) , can anyone help me? [12:44] or what is the best pci wireless card out?? [12:44] allquixotic: Seems like it would be difficult to keep up with this though. People are just joining and firing questions faster than I can focus on just one [12:44] Gianpon: torrent? [12:44] Gianpon: If you want to distribute something for Ubuntu in a DPKG format, you could get a PPA repository. Alternatively, I can host your files on my website (without any promise of having them up forever and ever, but definitely for at least 6 months) if they're not too big [12:44] adub, probably.. I'll have ubottu give you a link to info .. don't know if there are any recommendations on there or not.. === nicolae_ is now known as DapperDaniel [12:44] ari_stress: depends on what you like to achive [12:44] !wireless | adub [12:44] adub: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [12:44] jrib: yes i installed it but it made no difference [12:45] Alright folks, I'm trying to boot Clonezilla using UNetBootin but everytime I try to boot from a USB key I get the following error /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off can anyone help me with this please? [12:45] ari_stress: but bash isn't capabale of deleting dups permanent [12:45] slap_stick: what is the current state? What packages are installed? What manual modifications still exist? [12:45] how do [12:45] if it helps, i used to have ubuntu installed inside wubi and i configured the network interface before to fix the problem, but now it seems the method i tried doesnt work and network manager doesnt run [12:45] what is the best pci wireless card that has atheros chipset for say a desktop [12:45] DapperDaniel: It's easy to focus if you are using Xchat. I keep running conversations with people by obeying the implicit rule of name: message... and you can see who's pinged you by the yellow names in the left column [12:45] ari_stress: read as after session has stopped [12:45] Xk2c_: your suggestion works. thanks. now duplicate commands is not recorded twice [12:45] DapperDaniel: btw, renaming yourself is a good way for someone to lose you in a conversation, he he [12:45] jrib: sun-java5-bin, sun-java6-bin, sun-java5-plugin and sun-java6-plugin [12:46] Rewt: you can use xclip [12:46] and sun-java6-jdk [12:46] need to get going, night allveryone [12:46] allquixotic: Yeah I thought about you after I changed my nick haha I'd prefer to use my regular handle instead of not noticing I had default up [12:46] slap_stick: did you undo the manual copy you did before? [12:46] jrib: yes [12:46] has he a french ? [12:47] picou, #ubuntu-fr [12:47] allquixotic: thank you for your proposal. But I must refuse because I need something more flexible, I must update the file frequently and unfortunately it is not dpkg [12:47] slap_stick: sudo aptitude purge sun-java6-plugin && sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin . Then put 'update-java-alternatives -l' on psatebin [12:47] Gianpon: I'll give you a quota'ed FTP account with a home directory as a subdir of /var/www, that way you can host as much as you want up to a certain size limit [12:47] I guess none of you guys can help me then? [12:47] Gianpon: How much space would you need? [12:47] mick02: best to just ask the channel your question. If someone knows the answer, they will try to help you [12:48] je suis frnaçais et je voulais juste des conseil car je débute sur LINUX voila merci de repondre !! [12:48] jrib I've asked but no one can help me it seems [12:48] picou, /join #ubuntu-fr for francais ici est anglais seulement [12:48] mick02: right, so that means no one that read your question, knows the answer. Try the forums and mailing list while you wait and then repeat your question in 10 minutes or so for the new eyeballs [12:48] allquixotic: not more than 5 megs [12:49] update-java-alternatives -l java-1.5.0-sun 53 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun \n java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun [12:49] Gianpon: Oh, that's nothing then :) [12:49] slap_stick: sudo update-java-alternatives -s sun-java6-sun [12:49] jrib this was my last hope, I've already been around the Ubuntu forums, linuxquestions.org and all that but nothing, not to worry I'll plug away and see if I can sort it myself [12:49] Gianpon: As long as you are _reasonably_ certain that you aren't violating any international laws or anything, and you don't want access control (i.e. anyone can go download it), I can host your file over HTTP, while allowing you to modify/upload it again over FTP [12:49] slap_stick: sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun sorry [12:49] I guess I'll ask my question then. I've been trying to install freeNX on 6.06, which meant installing ConsoleKit. I finally got all the prereqs installed but it keeps giving me errors when I compile about dbus_g_type_struct being undeclared. Obviously I do have dbus installed though. Any ideas? [12:50] mick02, might also try ##linux [12:50] jrib: ok, wow there's quite a lot to this [12:50] is there a # for ubuntu mid ? [12:50] DapperDaniel: dbus_g_type_struct sounds like it's part of dbus-1-glib library, you need to have the -dev packages installed [12:50] mick02: I'm merely telling you, that you should repeat your question later instead of saying "can anyone help me?" since people who just read "can anyone help me?" have no idea what you are talking about [12:50] jrib: cool thanks, works now [12:50] Thanks scunizi [12:50] gfather, mid? [12:50] mick02, np [12:50] allquixotic: I'm pretty sure I included all the -dev packages, but let me check again. I'll kick myself if thats it. [12:51] DapperDaniel: libdbus-glib-1-dev [12:51] hi .. system freezes when I work for a long time and after a while it displays a black screen with message ( run internal boot) , can anyone help me? [12:51] scunizi http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile [12:51] can anyone help? [12:51] slap_stick: no problem [12:51] allquixotic: I'm abslolutely sure about the first point, but on the second I have some doubt... I need something to share this file with other people (if interested), what's the point in hiding it into the web? [12:51] I understand jrib, I had it posted twice I was hoping my comment might prompt someone to read the question that may have missed it otherwise === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [12:51] alexb92: just ask your question [12:51] i did [12:51] allquixotic: Already have it installed to the latest version [12:51] mick02: repeating the question would do the same thing [12:51] is there a way to restore internet back in ubuntu? [12:52] quick question, my clock keeps losing time, what time is it central time? US [12:52] alexb92: you probably need to provide more context since you say "back" [12:52] i used to have it working until i installed some programs last night [12:52] and tonight it doesnt want to work [12:52] Gianpon: You mean you _don't_ want to hide it? Well that's what I'd be giving you anyway. Non-authenticated, regular old HTTP access. [12:52] hi .. system freezes when I work for a long time and after a while it displays a black screen with message ( run internal boot) , can anyone help me? [12:52] and network manager doesnt want to run [12:52] alexb92: what is "some program"? [12:52] !enter | alexb92 [12:52] alexb92: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [12:52] Gianpon: If you _did_ want access control, that would be more complex to setup [12:52] gfather, ah.. had almost forgotten about that .. never really looked at the page.. I haven't heard of a # for it.. have you tried googling "ubuntu mid on irc" ? [12:53] How do i know which servers my Ubuntu downloads from through synaptic? [12:53] What's the cause for green bar in video? Weak codecs? [12:53] jrib, well I got a response from a few people by asking if no one could help me, I got no reply when I posted the question so I guess one method didn't get the same response as the other therefore they aren't the same thing [12:53] rn0308982: 6:53 [12:53] jrib: audio, video progrmas, none however that alter any network protocols or any firewalls [12:53] gmathews, one of the menus in synaptic will tell you.. and allow you to find the fastest ones. [12:53] hi all [12:53] is there a channel for Ubuntu Mobile Internet Device (MID) Edition [12:54] ? [12:54] hello there, angrymike [12:54] gfather: #ubuntu-mobile -- I believe. [12:54] kinja-sheep thanks [12:54] mick02: right, one is frowned upon, the other one isn't. I don't think we need to discuss this anymore [12:54] gmathews: system -> administration -> software sources [12:55] allquixotic: no no, nothing like that, at now I just need 300KB and the possibility to let someone download the file, the 5 MB were only for possible short term improvement, I'm going to find another solution in any case. [12:55] Okay found it :) [12:55] jrib I would have left it, you wanted to discuss it. Thanks anyway [12:55] So I have libdbus-glib-1 installed, any other ideas what would cause an error with dbus_g_type_struct? That's the only error that comes up when I try to compile ConsoleKit === brett is now known as Guest63218 [12:55] how would i edit the network interface just to get a connection? i cant even ping my own modem [12:55] question on bridging: do i need to have a physical interface for each bridge i create? i'm trying to run mulitple virtual host in virtualbox. [12:56] alexb92, in wubi? === aLeSD is now known as aLeSDbaba [12:56] I am getting an "access denied" error when trying to use the framebuffer on Itrepid [12:56] Hi guys, after a recent graphics driver update (ati 8.12) my computer boots in the wrong resolution and won't save changes, strangely my desktop displays only in the corner of my monitor, as opposed to it stretching to full screen, is there a reason for this? [12:56] any ideas ? [12:56] nope, native install done on a secondary hdd [12:56] angrymike, where are you getting access denied? [12:57] if it helps, i used to have ubuntu installed inside wubi [12:57] DapperDaniel: when I attempt to run any direct fb application, such as dbinfo [12:57] bazhang : so did i but it failed after a whilst and it was slow and i got sick of it [12:57] alexb92, you removed that? [12:57] angrymike: you've tried running them as root or with sudo? [12:57] so i did a clean install on a blank hard drive, and if i can get the internet working again it will be great [12:58] rick_: you create a bridge for each physical network adapter you want your virtual machines to have access to, then each virtual machine will create a virtual network adapter connected to the physical bridge [12:58] DapperDaniel: yes I am root when this happens, it does not initialize the "system core" --> Access denied! [12:58] alexb92, what was the interface; wired or wireless [12:59] allquixotic: You're right I misunderstood the access control... [12:59] wired [12:59] thats what i dont understand though, it should be simple and easy [12:59] alexb92, what is the chipset and what does ifconfig show, two entries or three [12:59] alexb92, also are you hotplugging the ethernet or have it in on boot === Guest63218 is now known as lostboy1 [12:59] after a major upgrade (mainly kde 4.2), my dns service doesn't work now [13:00] how long does it take to get a moderator to approve a tutorial/tip on the ubuntuforums.org site? [13:00] cheers, everyone, I am in the process of picking up a laptop that would carry me through the next four years without any problems. The target - rugged business machine with enough horse power for compiling. The machine is going to be pure work. Is the EliteBook 6930p a good choice (paired with Ubuntu), or should I be picking up the LED backlit (and more expensive) ThinkPad T400 instead? [13:00] binarymutant: /join #ubuntuforums [13:00] i can use proxy software such as tor to get online [13:00] bazhang [13:01] i wonder if anyone has the same problem [13:01] after today's upgrades [13:01] its an eth0 connection with a loopback and thats all it has basically [13:01] sorry whats meant by hotplugging and on boot? [13:01] alexb92, what does the interface show up as ? eth0? [13:01] how do i check my network configuration? i can't resolve any domain name directly now [13:02] catbooted: cat /etc/resolv.conf [13:02] Boohbah: it says: [13:02] # Generated by NetworkManager nameserver 192.168.1.1 [13:02] (2 lines) [13:02] does anyone know how to get DPMS (standby, suspend, off) active on the GDM greeter screen in intreid? It used to work fine in hardy but since upgrading the GDM screen never blanks out [13:03] jrib, it's a idle chan :( [13:03] Boohbah: should i delete it? [13:03] Gianpon: Sorry I was AFK [13:03] binarymutant: that's the right place for forum questions, many moderators are there. It isn't as active as this channel though, so you have to be patient [13:03] it looks like it's a virus! [13:04] Does anyone know of a nice alternative to gtkterm? [13:04] DapperDaniel: I think you need to upgrade your libdbus-glib bindings [13:04] looks like a virus edited my resolv.conf and wrote "nameserver 192.168.1.1" [13:04] bazhang : yep eth0 [13:04] alexb92, try sudo dhclient eth0 [13:04] catbooted: uhm, no. it was written by networkmanager when you recieved an ip address from your dhcp server [13:04] allquixotic: What do you mean by bindings? [13:04] catbooted: so whatever nameservers your router is using aren't working [13:05] allquixotic: no problem, but I was really thinking about it, is it possible that the only free sharing are for free software and not for free contents? this sounds weird to me, it is not? [13:05] Boohbah: but another computer in my home can resolve domain names [13:05] Gianpon: Sourceforge, PPA, etc. tend to be for sharing software, yes... I'm not sure about "data", or "content", it depends on what type. Most services want to charge you a fee for that. [13:06] bazhang : ok i will do but i have to reboot into ubuntu as im running xp now to chat to u though [13:06] Boohbah: how do i check if it's my machine's software fault? [13:07] DapperDaniel: My research indicates that the libdbus-glib-1-dev package which you installed _should_ have the requested dbus_g_type_struct type, but it doesn't _because_ the version of that package in 6.06 is too old: http://rafb.net/p/2soVUd48.html [13:07] DapperDaniel: I ran those commands on Jaunty, and the required header data is there [13:08] Gianpon: Let me set up your FTP account [13:08] !ping [13:08] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [13:09] allquixotic: thanks! [13:09] catbooted: dig @192.168.1.1 domain.com [13:10] allquixotic: Ah, thanks. I'll work with that and see what happens. [13:10] catbooted, you can look in your router to see what name servers are being used and add them to /etc/resolve.conf.. here's an example of mine..http://pastebin.com/f78b0909 [13:10] scunizi: :) I found it :) [13:11] allquixotic: Where would I get an updated libdbus-glib-1-dev? My sources all list it as current. [13:11] gmathews, .. I forgot.. what were you looking for? [13:11] tar... I have links in the dir I'm tarring up, and am not sure how to keep those as links when I untar it. Anyone know? [13:11] Hi guys, after a recent graphics driver update (ati 8.12) my computer boots in the wrong resolution and won't save changes, strangely my desktop displays only in the corner of my monitor, as opposed to it stretching to full screen, is there a reason for this? [13:11] Boohbah: connection timed out; no servers could be reached [13:11] catbooted, did you try to set a static ip at one point? [13:12] scunizi: not at all [13:12] DapperDaniel: You do realize, that it's not your package manager which is providing an out of date version of the library; it's your _distribution version_ (6.06) which is providing an outdated version of the library. If you want to compile it from source using the upstream, you could get it from http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus-glib/ [13:12] scunizi: i use a home ADSL connection and my dns is allocated dynamically every time i start my computer [13:13] scunizi: just after today's package upgrade (mainly kde 4.2 packages) and a reboot, my network can't directly resolve domain names [13:13] DapperDaniel: You will effectively need to replace your libdbus-glib-1 _AND_ libdbus-glib-1-dev packages by compiling the new version of the package from source. [13:13] when attempting to play a song on Rhythmbox, i get a box that states "Couldn't start playback" "Failed to open output device" any recomendations? [13:14] DapperDaniel: Your changes will be outside of the purview of the package manager DPKG, so if they ever push a SRU to 6.06 for libdbus-glib-1 (highly unlikely at this point), you'll lose your changes... [13:14] catbooted, looks to be because it's not listing the dns servers in resolf.conf.. you could just plug them in there and be done with it probably. === nicolas_ is now known as Zewno [13:15] I accidentally downloaded desktop iso instead of alternate. How do I enable LVM in the installer? [13:15] allquixotic: Fair enough. I'm only using 6.06 until a new serverbox comes in. This is an old beater box that didn't want anything higher than 6.06 running. [13:15] syockit, I don't think you can on the desktop cd.. I think that is specific to the alternate. [13:16] sorry, my proxy just disconnected from irc [13:16] would emptying resolv.conf help? [13:16] btw, is LVM a driver/module or something? at least I want to mount the drive for download space [13:17] to prepare another cd [13:17] catbooted2, remove all your nameservers? Why? === zumz_ is now known as zumz [13:17] hatter243: my only name server in resolv.conf is 192.168.1.1 and it doesn't work [13:17] help/question: one of my hdd partitions is acting strange (http://pastebin.com/m4688a6ff). /dev/sda2 is missing in /dev/disk/by-uuid. It is new ext3 partition created with gparted [13:18] catbooted2, sudo network-admin [13:18] hatter243: command not found [13:18] mmm4m5m, you have to manually add it to /etc/fstab [13:18] mmm4m5m: try "sudo udevadm trigger" then "sudo udevadm settle" [13:19] mmm4m5m, use sudo blkid to find the uuid of all your partitions.. pick the new one and list it in fstab [13:19] catbooted2, bleargh. Alright, in resolv.conf enter nameserver 208.67.222.222 and nameserver 208.67.220.220 those are both the nameservers of opendns [13:19] mmm4m5m: (or reboot) [13:19] what a good package for Wxpython on unbuntu? [13:20] :) [13:20] scunizi: mount /dev/sda2 ... works, but can't mount by uuid. I am just worring if everything is ok, that is all [13:20] perlsyntax: what are you looking for? Just using wxpython? [13:20] catbooted2, after that "sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0" without the quotes, provided your internet connection is named eth0 [13:20] yes [13:20] lostboy1: are you sure, it is ok to use it? after reboot all will be ok? [13:20] hatter243: good! it works now [13:20] perlsyntax: apt-cache search -n python wxgtk [13:21] catbooted2, one more step, you need to edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and add the following line to it "prepent domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220;" so that it'll stick around if you reboot [13:21] when attempting to play a song on Rhythmbox, i get a box that states "Couldn't start playback" "Failed to open output device" any recomendations? [13:21] catbooted2, Misspelling! Change "prepent" to "prepend" [13:21] hatter243: it returns 2 lines of "Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0." [13:21] !sound | rn0308982 [13:21] rn0308982: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [13:21] lostboy1: udevadm - command not found [13:22] mmm4m5m: yes, udev doesn't know when you create new partitions, so it doesn't create the by-uuid etc... if you want to be sure, do the udevadm trigger and settle, that simulat3es a reboot (as far as new partitions go) [13:22] mmm4m5m: it will force udev to reread all the disks and recreate the by-uuid and other symlinks [13:23] catbooted2, ah, don't worry about that eth0=eth0 thing [13:23] catbooted2, but you will need that prepend line [13:23] lostboy1: I think I will reboot. Looks like bug in gparted. I did not "delete,create,format" - it works, yesterday I did that way. Today, I just click on another ntfs partition and select "format as ext3" [13:24] hatter243: i just think all this manual hack is weird. is there a way to get a fresh-out-of-the-box network configuration? i guess "sudo dpkg-reconfigure network-manager"? [13:24] In what log can I check what is causing a kernwlpanic? [13:25] mmm4m5m: why not run udevadm trigger and udevadm settle? [13:25] lostboy1: udevadm - command not found [13:25] mmm4m5m: that's really the only reason to reboot [13:25] mmm4m5m: what version of ubuntu? [13:25] gutsy [13:25] catbooted2, hrm... I don't know, it might be that wherever you're getting your dhcp from has some terrible ideas about which dns servers you should be using. In that case, it's not anything wrong with your computer at all [13:26] mmm4m5m: then try udevtrigger [13:26] mmm4m5m: and udevsettle [13:26] hatter243: last question: how long can these opendns ips remain working? [13:27] catbooted2, if you don't type that prepend line into your dhclient.conf then it will remain in effect until you restart your computer. [13:27] hatter243: since the bad dns server was generated by NetworkManager, could it be that my NetworkManager needs some fix? [13:27] hatter243: i mean, these opendns servers, will they go down or blocked? [13:29] catbooted2: OpenDNS has been online for a few years now, no problems thus far [13:29] scunizi: No problems - I found what i was looking for - wanted to see from what servers ubuntu is connecting to update etc [13:29] catbooted2, the opendns servers won't go away. I doubt that networkmanager generated that bad dns server. That resolv.conf file is generated when you get a dhcp address with the dns servers that the dhcp server tells you. Either your dhcp server isn't telling you anything or it's telling you the wrong thing. Check with your router and see what it thinks the dns servers should be. [13:29] lostboy1: can you please tell me how to run udevtrigger with subsystem (--subsystem-match=subsystem) [13:29] Pici: i guess my NetworkManager, resolv.conf and dhclient.conf need reconfiguration to revert to their initial states [13:30] I'm trying to set up teamspeak server using guide found at ubuntuforums but when entering "sudo start-stop-daemon --chuid teamspeak --chdir /opt/tss2_rc2 --start --exec /opt/tss2_rc2/server_linux" I get the following error "start-stop-daemon: Unable to start /opt/tss2_rc2/server_linux: Permission denied (Permission denied)" [13:30] Morclye: make sure the server_linux executable has the executeable flag set [13:30] hye all, I am trying to install the awesome 3.1 window manager, and i get this error when I try to make it: http://rafb.net/p/h7Xqnz95.html [13:30] catbooted2: open /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf with your favourite text editor [13:31] catbooted2: you should see a line that says prepend domain-name-servers [13:31] catbooted2: change it according to your needs [13:32] sarmisak: there is only "#prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;" [13:32] <3 shell functions [13:32] how do i get the spamassassin plugin going for evolution ? [13:32] catbooted2, that's the example line, to enter your own information remove the "#" [13:32] i want to format my ubuntu partition and a do a clean install of ubuntu... I should be able to accomplish this from 'install' on the livecd, correct? that is to say, in install I should be able to select the correct partition to format and install to?

[13:35] another question: this "resolv.conf", is it updated every time i restart computer? [13:35] jrib, uvesafb was loaded but from dmesg I got that it couldn't reserve video memory, so vesafb kept overriding it [13:36] mmm4m5m: I don't have access to a gutsy box, and udev has changed a lot since then, is there a udevrestart command? [13:36] catbooted2, yes it is, with the results of the dhcp request.

[13:44] lostboy1: as you told me. But I am kind of afraid to run any commands. That is why checked man pages, then try to find can I do it with subsystem. Finally I run the commands you told.

It leaves everything on the system alone. [13:46] mmm4m5m: again, glad you got it working (without a reboot!) :-) [13:46] what are the terminal commands to force mount a drive?

LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [13:49] how do I find out which useless ubuntu feature is pushing mouse around my screen with my 3dconnexion? [13:50] so should i go with 8.04 or do the imporvemtn between the distros justify losing support [13:50] improvements* [13:51] I think it depends on what you want it for. Desktop? Server? Do you want stability? Features? [13:51] I have a server and I'm sticking with 8.04 for now. [13:51] desktop server uses as a server [13:51] desktop version* [13:52] used* [13:52] is there one of those !things for force mounting a drive? [13:52] ive been having very weird virtual host issues with 8.10 [13:52] I'm running vanilla Ubuntu 8.10, how do I install the new kde 4.2 release?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [13:54] nobody in apache knows whats wrong, been at it for 3 days [13:54] rn0308982: you can "force" unmount with -l (lazy), but i've never eard of forcing the mount of a drive as there is an error if you can't "normally" mount it.

Just ask the question you had [13:55] how do I download debs even though they are already installed on this live cd ? [13:55] is there any way to find out what files "completely remove" removes from my computer that "remove" does not? [13:55] ubuntu234: http://getdeb.net/ [13:55] ubuntu234: otherwise I don't understand your question [13:56] how can u install anything running a live cd [13:56] hlv3, are you referring to apt-get purge vs apt-get remove? If true, apt-get remove gets rid of the binaries and apt-get purge gets rid of the binaries and config files [13:56] datachomper, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [13:56] Joker_-_: well, all drives that i connect to my lappy, usb and sd, fail to mount. i am given the error: "Failed to mount "8G Removable Volume"" "org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable no <-- (action, result)." [13:56] Circlefusion, I want to just download the deb files but it will not let me because it is already installed "apt-get -d install" [13:57] is there a another way I could do that ? [13:57] hatter243: i am asking about synaptic [13:57] hatter243: how do i know which ones are the config files? [13:57] h1v3, OH that's a 1 not an l. Silly me. Yeah, that's the same thing. Remove -> remove binaries, Completely Remove (purge) -> remove binaries and configs [13:58] gabbler, thanks [13:58] h1v3, let's go at this from another angle, what are you trying to remove or completely remove? [13:58] hatter243: usplash [13:58] i installed ubuntu 8.10 in my pc...but when i try to pair my phone with my pc through bluetooth, it says...failed to pair [13:59] hatter243: since i used completely remove i can't get it to work anymore [13:59] h1v3, have you tried "sudo apt-get install usplash usplash-theme-ubuntu"? [13:59] hatter243: so now i'm trying another ubuntu installation, but first i need to know what that "completely remove" did that broke usplash forever on the old installation === Slart_ is now known as Slart [14:00] hlvs, did you try and reinstall usplash and then update the ram disk? [14:01] sorry hlvs/h1v3 [14:01] ubuntu234: I'm still not entirely sure what you're trying to do. You should be able to download the deb file. Then you double click on it and it runs the GDebi installer [14:02] Circlefusion, it does not work [14:02] because it is already installed [14:02] hatter243: yes, this is what i've been trying, but since i used "completely remove" usplash and usplash-lib once, nothing worked. i tried everything, i restored the /etc/usplash.conf file, i used update-usplash ..., i used update-initramfs, i reinstalled grub, but nothing worked [14:02] I just want the deb files [14:02] can somebody help me with kubuntu [14:02] ubuntu is really pissing me off [14:02] ubuntu234: which browser are you using? Firefox? [14:02] I think I am going to go back to debian [14:02] h1v3, and sudo apt-get install usplash didn't reinstall those? [14:02] ubuntu234: ok, nevermind [14:03] yes I am using firefox Circlefusion [14:03] why do you ask? [14:03] hatter243: i suspect i may have removed some *really original* (i.e. ubuntu installation) config files when i did the "completely remove". does it sound plausible? [14:03] how can i know the iscsi drive name to mount ? [14:03] ubuntu234: I'm wondering how you are downloading the deb file. It appears you are automatically launching the deb installer instead of saving the file. [14:04] shadeslayer: what is the question? [14:04] ubuntu234: the files most probably are in /var/cache/apt/ [14:04] Circlefusion, I am going it from the command line [14:04] I told you [14:04] "apt-get -d install" [14:04] hlv3, back up your system by using this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087&highlight=evolution :P [14:04] i wish to emulate functions of the wireless finder and Fn+F3 [14:04] h1v3, if you purge (completely remove) the package of uspash all those files will be put back if you reinstall the package, there should be no different between the default usplash package and the synaptic / apt installed one [14:04] on my XPS M1530 [14:04] hlv3, well i used it multiple times and it worked [14:05] h1v3, as far as i am aware completely remove just removes the option you choose and all dependencies, like sudo apt-get autoremove/autoclean [14:05] they do this in windows [14:05] well just saying next time before you remove something do that [14:05] hatter243: yes, it did reinstall everything, only they are not working. i have to disable splash from grub otherwise the booting gets stuck just before it should have started to show the nice splash [14:05] Fn+F3:battery meter [14:05] wireless button:finding nearby networks === AZMel_Office is now known as AZMel [14:06] why is ubuntu being so lame it will not let me install software from cd Circlefusion I do it the same way I did it on debian and it worked on there but ubuntu does not let me [14:06] i know that ill have to remap those button's [14:06] gabber, completely remove also removes config files in /etc , remove doesn't [14:06] just dont know how [14:06] both of them give scancodes with xev [14:06] is it possible to duplicate the ubuntu system files and send them to another old system that are missing those files? [14:06] hatter243: right, but then i have no explanation for what's happening === asdfasd is now known as kalakouentin [14:06] just asking [14:06] khamael: any idea?? [14:06] ubuntu234: do you have the cd commented out on your sources.list? [14:07] h1v3, does the ubuntu theme usplash exist as well? [14:07] ubuntu234: oh, I missed that part [14:07] booksbuggy: why not [14:07] or software like dell quickset for linux [14:07] yes what do you think apt-cdrom add is for Myrtti [14:07] * Blacki is back (gone 00:33:32) [14:07] hlv3, why not what? [14:08] Blacki: turn that script off [14:08] hlv3, on the back up thread or on the question i just asked? [14:08] booksbuggy, aptoncd [14:08] like I said I did it the way debian told me to add cds with the "apt-cdrom -a add" [14:08] shadeslayer: nope. but you get more answers by actually asking a question [14:08] khamael: i did [14:09] i am just saying that because hlv3, may be able to get the missing files from another system [14:09] look above [14:09] just like I did when I was using debian [14:09] ubuntu234: do you have a GUI or are you operating on commandline only? [14:09] Can anyone recommend software to unrar files in Ubuntu 10.4?

Logging via FireFox as superadmin tells me I need to shut down server to alter settings and if I close the server I cannot access that page. [14:10] shadesslayer, what exactly are you trying to do? reconfigure shortcut keys? [14:10] shadeslayer: oh, come on.. let that enter key rest a while [14:10] ubuntu234, debian will not recognize any of those packages as compatible with it. The ubuntu packages are tagged as "Intrepid Main" or somesuch, much different from Debian's.... Lenny was it? [14:10] lol [14:10] I am not on debian [14:10] hatter243: i have it as a package available in synaptic, if this is what you mean. i even tried splashy, which is based on another libs, it behaves almost the same, only the booting freezes a little after enabling the nice image (rather than before), so i get to see the image. this certainly means it's a lower-level problem, like driver-related, what do you thinK? [14:10] let me explain [14:10] shadeslayer, you'd need to use xmodmap [14:10] just that the keyboard gets screwed up in long sentences [14:10] yes [14:10] okay [14:11] booksbuggy: yes, only, first i need to know what the files are [14:11] but what do i put in the command to be run [14:11] ubuntu234: can you check your sources.list if it contains the cd rom without the comment charachter?

[14:42] skinofstars1: Thats right , I figured that my system is now using restricted drivers [14:42] skinofstars1: Can I have a replacement ? [14:42] nickrud: i even tried splashy (based on different libs): this one freezes only *after* showing the nice splash image. which makes me think the problem is lower-level, like driver-related. what do you think? [14:42] skinofstars1: i have samba installed is there a specific package i need for client or what are you referring to?

[15:15] webmin not closing [15:15] gribouille: virtualbox is like another computer inside your ubuntu. so you have to add a virtual hard disk to it (a very simple wizard) and partition it and then install ubuntu. i guess this makes everything clear. [15:15] quanta is kde/qt [15:15] jsnikeris, do you have a shell? A valid one? [15:15] hatter243: yes [15:15] jsnikeris: I think it was from kernel-restricted headers update [15:15] joelito: are you having the same issue? [15:16] sarmisak because he wants to run two os concurrently [15:16] hi [15:16] jsnikeris: well...update manager stills there [15:16] how do i check which version of ubuntu i'm using [15:16] thankyou sarmisak and [15:16] gribouille http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads also has a guide page [15:16] dayzman: open a terminal, run "lsb_release -a" [15:16] Jack_Sparrow: the question was 'do I have to install an OS in virtualbox to be able to use it ?' ;) [15:16] dayzman lsb_release -a [15:17] I've used dkpg --set-selections to import a bunch of selections into apt, but I made a mistake and want to start over. How do I erase the selections? [15:17] thanks a lot [15:17] dayzman: or do the same and run "uname -a" to see what kernel you're running [15:17] i_siddhartha_i: no problem. [15:17] sarmisak Annd I answered yet [15:17] dayzman : write this lsb_release -a in terminal [15:17] joelito: I don't understand what you mean [15:17] hajar: I suggest you throw this back to the room [15:17] dayzman: lsb_release -a [15:17] Jack_Sparrow: nevermind, I'm off frequency I believe. [15:17] h1v3: thanks [15:17] np [15:18] h1v3, they are both the same, but still no luck:( [15:18] skinofstars1 :how? sorry [15:18] khuraam: try /etc/init.d/webmin stop [15:19] maboughey: then play some more with the resolution in that same window [15:19] whats the last version? [15:20] h1v3, trying that. doing an update at the mo, hopefully it will fix it [15:20] hajar said (I'm stumped): hi guys .. I have a big problem , the built-in hard disk occurs in the disktop as an external one.. what can I do? [15:20] I just restarted my computer after an update and after logging in, was immediately logged out. The window manager noticed that I was logged in for such a short amount of time, so it displayed ~/.xession-errors for me. I'm logged into failsafe Gnome right now, and am trying to figure out what is going wrong. Can anyone point me in the right direction of where to start looking? [15:20] =D [15:21] hi to all [15:21] hi; [15:21] X-Bacon: of ubuntu? [15:21] bluetooth is not detected in ubuntu 8.10 [15:21] yep [15:21] i have a question [15:21] i just intall ubuntu in my laptop [15:21] !ask | manasses [15:21] manasses: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [15:22] hey so when did the gnome workspace switcher stop allowing you to drag windows in the mini-preview from one workspace to another? [15:22] does intrepid include kde 3 ? [15:22] jsnikeris: go to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and modify driver to "vesa" [15:22] X-Bacon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu [15:22] jsnikeris: full disk maybe? [15:22] jsnikeris: what video card? [15:23] step21: I'm at 3% [15:23] gribouille, kubuntu features kde version 4 [15:23] and the wireless is being detecte but dont work and i dont know what i have to do i update the software che driver and all is okay [15:23] jsnikeris: lol ok [15:23] the car is a integrate card atheros ar 5007 802.11b in a hp laptop [15:24] so hey..anyone here know much about vpnc? It stopped working on my local box on a reboot at 8 this morning, and hasn't started since...the connection seems to work, the tun0 interface appears, and i can't ping anything but 127.0.0.1 while it's running [15:24] h1v3: Asus 9600 GT [15:24] h1v3: it's a nvidia chipset [15:25] jsnikeris: then reinstall the video driver [15:25] jsnikeris: run dmesg from terminal to view the boot log [15:25] hola [15:26] HECTORcam: konnichiwa [15:26] do anyone know how to fix that problem [15:26] helo [15:27] does anyone know please hw to install ubuntu on my 2nd harddrive [15:27] manasses: is this intrepid 8.10? [15:27] REVERSE: simple would be to use the install CD again and when prompted, select your second drive [15:28] REVERSE, boot from Ubuntu CD, select install, choose second drive as the install point [15:28] h1v3: I just deactivated the proprietary nvidia drivers. I'm going to reboot [15:28] yeah [15:28] hi, a friend of mine is trying to upgrade from hardy to intrepid (hardy was installed back in september and hasn't been on the net after that), and under System - admin. - software sources - updates, he doesn't have the "Release upgrade"-option there. Any ideas what he has to do to get that option there? [15:29] filthpig, from a console "sudo update-manager -d" [15:29] but my concern is though one hdd 1 i have windows xp and if i install ubuntu on my 2nd hdd when the grub wants to install should i allow it.. say if i want to format my 1st harddrive will that effect my ubuntu install or if i want to change ubuntu for something else will that effect it.. if that makes sense [15:29] what software can i install to convert xvid to DVD? [15:29] manasses: I found this... http://unsharptech.com/2008/10/31/atheros-wireless-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex/ [15:29] Good Morning everybody. I was wondering if anyone else is having any issues with the new update for ca-certificates-java when you attempt to upgrade it from the package manager. Any time my system tries it the whole thing freezes up and I have to abort. [15:29] i restarted my pc [15:30] thanks goint to check thanks [15:30] nickrud you still here? [15:30] REVERSE, if XP is already installed and you install ubuntu onto a second harddrive you should let grub install. It will automatically be configured to allow botting xp as well === nubuntu is now known as Linkin_x64 [15:32] catmando: with what version was this possible? i am missing this coming from xfce === Student is now known as Biophile [15:33] catmando: could it be some ill effect of compiz ? [15:33] vince_: nope.. no such problems here [15:33] how can i install webmin [15:33] hatter243: does grub install on the second harddrive... so i could format my windows partition and my ubuntu would still boot or install windows 7 and it wouldn`t affect the second hard drive// sorry for the weird questions..i did have xp and ubuntu dual booting on one partition, and my xp crashed and i lost them both, thats why i have purchased a new hard drive.. and if either one would crash wouldn`t affect the other one an [15:33] d it could still boot or format it thank you for your help [15:35] REVERSE, if you're worried about that then after install make sure grub is installed on both harddrives.. that way if the windows drive dies just change to the other driver in bios as the primary boot device. [15:35] ezerhoden, i use it in CentOS all the time [15:35] what software can i install to convert xvid to DVD? [15:35] !webmin | khuraam [15:35] khuraam: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [15:35] REVERSE, grub installs on the second partition (in this case) in the /boot/grub/ folder. Should you reformat XP you might have to reconfigure /boot/grub/menu.lst but I think you won't have to. Also, should you lose the XP harddrive entirely you won't lose grub or ubuntu because the second harddrive is the one that is flagged as the boot harddrive [15:35] on ubuntu 8.10. i am seeing firefox issues with gmail [15:35] ezerhoden, although TBH I don't know what version of gnome that is off the top of my head [15:35] has anyone seen this before [15:35] im attempting to strip the first 15 characters out of lines of a text file so that i can use sot and uniq to sort and remove the redundant lines for output. any ideas? [15:35] HorizonXP: try Devede [15:35] ezerhoden, no compiz here [15:35] sort [15:36] can you suggest a good browser in ubuntu? [15:36] letalis, are you thinking of cut?

[15:36] h1v3: Disabling them through 'System->Administration->Hardware drivers' didn't seem to disable them at all. How do you suggest I reinstall the drivers? [15:36] shri: firefox is one of the more popular ones [15:36] Slart: Thanks :) [15:36] but i am having issues with gmail.com [15:36] letalis: cut might do it [15:36] im trying to basically remove the timestamps from the file(s) [15:36] ebox url plz [15:36] and how can i run localhost [15:36] letalis: or sed [15:36] shri: me too [15:37] nickserv identify 123 [15:37] !ebox | khuraam [15:37] khuraam: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server.

[15:38] hi guys .. I have a big problem , the built-in hard disk occurs in the dektop as an external one.. what can I do? [15:38] i think it needs Opera (Qt, proprietary) [15:38] shri, you might be able to fix FF by simply renaming /home/shri/.mozilla [15:38] jrgp: I said major.. not "monster we hide in the basement" ;) [15:38] Can anyone help me with a strange issue with my 8.10 installation process?

[16:05] dft: curious. try #bash. [16:05] dft, and it does't matter where on the pc the usb is plugged in? [16:05] scunizi: exactly === mini-man_ is now known as mini-man [16:06] dft, have you tried manually mounting and unmounting it? [16:06] I'm doing everything right. My hashes and sums are correct, my drive burned at the slowest speed, and I tried multiple versions and discs. [16:06] j-b-r: have you tried another drive? [16:06] scunizi: not today, brb [16:07] Ugh. No, [16:07] I don't really have that ability [16:07] what is the key or combination to see the verbose boot up sequence instead of the gui bootsplash [16:07] My other cd writer is in the computer that I'm trying to install ubuntu on [16:07] j-b-r: how do you know they're corrupt? [16:07] j-b-r, you might try burning on a different machine or replacing your burner with one that you might have lying around. [16:07] it says "bla.deb" corrupt [16:08] scunizi: that works, but now I two icons in nautilus showing the disk [16:08] ezerhoden: esc, i think [16:08] I'm using a laptop for the burn, by the way. [16:08] ezerhoden: there is not one you have to hit "e" on the grub menu to edit the netries then remove splash and quiet from the kernel line [16:08] dft, try unmounting now and see if both go away [16:08] I've burned other install cds with this burner fine in the past, however. [16:08] So, I have UFW enabled but sometimes my gmail account won't work until I clear all my private data in Firefox. [16:08] Anybody know how to fix this? To allow the necessary cookies through? [16:09] erUSUL: okie dokie, thanks [16:09] TheFunkbomb: i can not see how the trhee things can be connected [16:09] j-b-r: recently? drives all fail eventually... which operating system are you doing the burn from? try another perhaps? [16:09] TheFunkbomb, set thunderbird or Evolution up for Imap access of your gmail account [16:09] erUSUL, it doesn't make sense to me either [16:09] scunizi, will thunderbird handle multiple gmail accounts? [16:09] TheFunkbomb, yep [16:10] sweet [16:10] brb lol [16:10] scunizi: one icon dropped but the original is still there, contextual menus only allow me unmount and when I try it tells me it's not mounted. [16:10] Ugh. maybe I could do a usb stick install? [16:10] Where would I get information on that? [16:10] !install | j-b-r [16:10] j-b-r: 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 [16:10] I hate mysteries like this [16:11] Whenever I boot I get 'grub error 2' and nothing happens. [16:11] dft, this one's got me stumped too.. weird.. [16:11] TheFunkbomb: the only thing that affects cookies is the cookie policy (accept all reject all etc ) on the firefox configuration [16:11] j-b-r: then the reading is the problem. it looks like a ram issue. [16:11] erUSUL, but it works fine with UFW disabled. When UFW is enabled, it stops working periodically. Once I clear the private data, back to normal [16:12] I'm leaving... see you! [16:12] scunizi: restarting nautilus hasn't helped either [16:12] Windows booted fine on it before I repartitioned the drive... [16:12] dft, which version of ubuntu? [16:13] so i have no problems right now but i did fix? something without realizing what i did [16:13] i've been having internet connectivity problems [16:13] wlan0 reporting Bit Rate= 1mbs [16:13] scunizi: 8.04LTS [16:13] so instead of setting sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M i did sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 24M and now it reports Bit Rate = 54mbs?! [16:13] scunizi: brb [16:13] dft, you might delete the files in ~/.nautilus .. but don't delete any actual directories inside of that but you can delete the files in the directory(s) [16:14] i'm confused and if anyone can explain what happened i would appreciate it. [16:14] Grub won't load and gives 'error 2' should I reinstall grub with a live cd? [16:14] dft, also .. is this machine an upgrade from Gutsy? [16:15] Hi all, This morning I received a series of updates, several of which involved the kernel.

How i can create BIND9 wildcard subdomain zone and get it to work? [17:08] Guest52537: do you understand bind ? [17:09] ikonia it says ubuntu 8.04 release 8.04 hardy :P [17:09] Guest52537: wildcarding and subdomaining needs a good grasp of bind [17:09] Terabyte: ok - so someone has customised it as thats not an ubuntu kernel [17:09] ikonia yes it is a linnutop, it is very customised, my question still stands regarding kcron though [17:09] Terabyte: then I suggest you contact them for support [17:10] ikonia: yes. [17:10] Guest52537: so what's not clear then ? [17:10] ikonia: but it's running ubuntu.... why can't i get support here? [17:10] Guest52537: what part are you not understanding if you've got a good grasp [17:10] Terabyte: because you've just said it's customised [17:10] Terabyte: we don't know what else has changed [17:10] ok [17:10] Terabyte: the people who put that install together will [17:10] ikonia: just *.domain.com. ?

I copied console8x16.pcf.gz in ~/.fonts AND /usr/share/fonts/misc/ , I did dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config in order to activate bitmap fonts. I used fc-cache but also restarted system in order to be 100% sure but misc-console is invisible from rxvt and xfontsel. Same steps are working ok under kde. Could someone tell me what I could miss ?

[17:13] d0netsFN: you have to setup a virtual network between the host and guest [17:13] could you explain that? [17:13] ubuntu_is_dabest: as in a wirless host spot ? [17:13] in the bottom right it shows a folder [17:14] d0netsFN: there are documents on virtual box website [17:14] and it says \\vboxvf\bob [17:14] where's my apt log? i just pulled in a bunch of updates via the gui, and i saw some problems while it installed. i want to review those problems.

[17:15] is the hibernate feature supposed to take longer (shutdown,startup) than normal shut down and boot? i get a message about softreset failed but everything seems to come back eventually. [17:15] hi there all [17:15] ubuntu_is_dabest: just setup your machine to act as a wirless access point normally called "infrastucture mode" [17:16] ubuntu_is_dabest: you'll need to offer dhcp addresses and I suggest some sort of firewalling [17:16] hm... i have 2 lan ether, but one of them is connected to a wireless AP [17:16] mroc: hibernate writes all stuff in ram to disk, so it takes a long time [17:16] mroc: suspend i think keeps just enough power to ram to keep it in ram, so it's faster [17:17] jamiejackson: ok. is the message about ata softreset failed a problem, or slowing it down? [17:17] (but uses batteries) [17:17] Is there any desktop sound recorder for ubuntu except sound recorder? [17:17] mroc: that exceeds my knowledge, sorry [17:17] Ok I can't seem to install any nvidia drivers, I was suggested to upgrade my drivers to 180.22 or now the 180.25 but it will not find any screens, more like it says it has but none have useable configurations. [17:17] hey does anyone know if there are packages available for the latest stable nvidia driver (180.22)? I can only find 180.11 in medibuntu [17:18] does remote desktop viewer not allow me to change settings ? [17:18] jamiejackson: thanks for the input. i'll see if anyone else knows more later.

Is there a way to force a refresh or redraw of these? [17:19] flithm: sudo apt-get install nvidia-180-modaliases [17:20] flithm: then look in the list after that is done [17:20] scunizi: fixed my issue, hopefully permanently with some fstab magic and UUID [17:21] buttons sounds like vid card [17:21] Buttons: I sort of get a similar issue in open office 2.4 with many images in a document, file/edit toolbars etc all flash inverted colours [17:21] well, i know my video card is perfectly able to display the task bars, it seem to be a matter of them not redrawing once I close the window [17:22] in windows pressing f5 to refresh will fix it, is there anything equivalent in ubuntu? [17:22] flithm: I warn you, I personally am having issuses with the 180.22 drivers. Your milage may very. [17:23] Starhero_: I only see 180.11 in the list after the aliases -- and what kind of problems? should I stick with 180.11? [17:24] flithm: It isn't seeing any screens, basicly I go into low graphic mode (640x480) and even if I change the rez, I am stuck with no 3d fx. [17:25] i can always use ctrl alt backspace to restart the gui, but that's kind of a awkward solution [17:25] Starhero_: doh!

[17:31] how can i check to see if i have ncurses installed in my ubuntu? [17:31] Starhero_: try shutting down X, rmmod the open source driver, then modprobe nvidia and see if that gives you and dmesg output [17:31] if so do you still need help?

[17:34] jhava1: ask again. and you don't have to wait as long as an hour [17:34] Jesman, errm, not really .. fetchmail was designed to just download mail to a local mailbox - that's what it does primarily, but it can also be configured to forward mail on to another account .. in which case, it uses the MTA (which can be postfix, but not necessarily) to send mail.

[17:52] a931bw: is your audio card usb or pci ? cause what you posted ealier indicated you have nvidia and you claim having realtek [17:52] define big [17:52] a931bw, nvidia is the maker, realtek is the chipset provider. will you give me some time? your card is 100% alsa supported, do you use pulseaudio? [17:52] dmi3on: still linux you can still configure it however you want === [pErry] is now known as [perry] [17:53] howdy, my friend just updated his intrepid kernel from 2.6.27-9 to 2.6.27-11 and now ubuntu can't find /dev/agpgart. going back to 2.6.27-9 solves the problem, but what about the other updates on this kernel? [17:53] a931bw: what jim_p, I'm only half-smart.. [17:53] dmi3on, debian stable is older compared to ubuntu, both for the server part, but debian stable is rock stable. depends on what you need and on your hardware sometimes [17:53] LakesProse, ?

[17:54] a931bw, go to System > Preferences > Sound and set everything to alsa [17:54] TheFunkBomb: Just drag it up next to the other one. [17:55] well... would you look at that [17:55] thanks vigo!

[18:00] what must i do in kubuntu to be able to mount my internal ntfs drive? [18:01] vlc in times [18:01] And mixxx [18:01] a931bw, set them to use alsa as sound output then [18:01] How?

[18:02] Marvin1: no the cli tool is apt-get [18:02] harlemdavvey1: it's the same window settings where you change backgroud and window border color [18:02] pike_: apt-get for package management.... how about general config? [18:02] LakesProse: ok.. i'll tell you when i'll have found [18:02] is it true that the devs kicked network manager out of 9.04? [18:03] Marvin1: not that im aware. the thing is in a debian type distro if you want to reconfigure something you typically just do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure [18:03] harlemdavvey1: all right, sorry for confusion, I dont have a linux OS in front of me right now :( [18:04] HOW? [18:04] what must i do in kubuntu to be able to mount my internal ntfs drive? [18:04] pike_: so, no yast-like config with menus that work remotely... for wireless, networking, adding smb users, remote shares, etc, etc, etc [18:04] harlemdavvey1: also [18:04] a931bw, open each app and look in its options [18:04] LakesProse: i'm not able to find something like that.. so maybe.. is there another method to edit my panels? [18:04] harlemdavvey1: check this out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=876238 (especially post #4) [18:04] the method i tried multiple versions and discs [18:04] harlemdavvey1: it [18:04] Marvin1: yeah. there is always lynx to find the answer in wiki and then editing config files :) [18:04] a931bw, i dont have mixxx or vlc. and please highlight me next time [18:05] harlemdavvey1: I hate this keyboard - anyways - it's extra special effects [18:05] Marvin1: there are a ton of front ends in the repos though for specific stuff [18:05] in front of it ? [18:05] harlemdavvey1: oh yeah! it also depends what version of ubuntu you have, older ones don't have 'special effects' installed by default [18:06] manu__, !!! hi mate !!! [18:06] LakesProse: i have a 8.10 ubuntu [18:06] pike_: strange... different philosophy, i guess.... I'm an old bsd/rh/suse person.... my experience with ubuntu desktop is very positive.... unfortunately, I still can't get the server 8.10 to boot ton that machine [18:07] I think I am gonna cry. [18:07] pike_: wanted to give it a try... and perhaps convert to ubuntu..... so far, it installs fine then grub gets stuck and just won't boot [18:07] Marvin1: in alot of ways ubuntu is very user experience centric but the nuts and bolts are really still pure debian [18:07] The black flashing will not go away even with newer drivers!

[18:18] harlemdavvey1: you wanna change the 'subtitle' of the icons ? [18:18] so far my 64-bit experience is turning out so well [18:18] LakesProse: yes [18:18] Hey, is it possible to stream to a xbox 360 from ubuntu?

[18:20] savvas, yeah yeah yeah.. #ubuntu debuild :) [18:20] Marvin1: the server install is basically just the server kernel and then none of the desktop stuff. they are really the same OS [18:20] Blinkiz: actually sorry, man dpkg-buildpackage [18:20] Marvin1: server is just bare bones desktop [18:21] Excuse me but is anyone here good at Linux scripting?

[18:22] hello. every time i try to install ubuntu, the installer crashes. i tried with 2 different cds (8.10) and both work for other friends. i use asus x50gl notebook with core2duo t5800 2ghz, 3gb ram, nvidia 8200 [18:23] oops* [18:23] Blinkiz: is it working now? [18:23] pike_: can I go to the server as an "upgrade"? I was thinking encrypted LVM... the desktop install didn't offer that [18:23] burg: is the motherboard chipset also nvidia 8200? [18:23] thomas1978c, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and pastebin the contents. do not close the file [18:23] jim_p ok [18:23] I've got Apache running but when I stop cmd:user/uuid:libuuid binds to port 80. when I start Apache, the port is already in use.

[18:28] burg: that should get you to the live cd desktop.. at least it did on my machine. Once installed you have to use the live cd to edit /boot/grub/menu.list to add the same thing to the kernel lines listed there. [18:28] Seigo: Perhaps "tar -xvf FILE PATH/" [18:28] Seigo: or be where you want to unpack it and do "tar -xvf PATH/TO/FILE.TAR" [18:28] i can get to the live cd. the installer crashes when the partitioner starts [18:28] Raylz: I understand.. I did use fdisk once to do that but it's been a while.. man fdisk or elinks to google === disappearedng_ is now known as disappearedng [18:28] is there anyone here with knowledge about the /etc/fstab file? I need to mount 2 ntfs drives with it. [18:29] Right but that is for MySQL not MSSQL [18:29] burg: yes.. just try it and see if you get past the partitioning part.

[19:43] my xorg hijacks a HID I don't want it to take from me, is there a way to prevent it, other than "AutoAddDevices"? [19:44] what happened to dpkg --get-selections > my-packages and dpkg --set-selections < my-packages then dselect? [19:44] hi i type 'jobs' there are 2 jobs running. vim that i did not exit properly. I want to kill them. I type 'kill %1' etc.. but the jobs are still listed as 'stopped' === Inc`` is now known as Inc` [19:44] maco: This one auto downloads the packages?

[19:45] they got rid of it for some reason [19:45] I'd like to be able to turn off my server just by hitting the main power button once (without having to confirm or anything... just one push and it turns off). I have pastebinned my /etc/acpi/powerbtn (http://paste.ubuntu.com/110975/) and /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh (http://paste.ubuntu.com/110977/) scripts here. Can anyone help? I can only modify this via the command line as it is a mythv server. [19:45] thanks i need to disable that ctrl+z in vim it is a bad habit [19:45] maco: It's old and unmaintained by what I hear. [19:46] how can i make a program auto launch when gnome starts, web says system->prefs->sessions->startup->add, but i have no 'sessions' under prefs [19:46] Louis_, not sure about xfce (which mythtv uses), but check in the power preferences for an option to ask or just perform a default action [19:46] i have been searching everything but the model number.........thank you, will read and let you know how it goes [19:46] what should I use for mail notification since I don't want thunderbird running all the time? [19:47] Solet: right click your menus and go to edit menus, then go to the preferences menu in there and check the "sessions" checkbox. it's just been disabled from your menu. [19:47] TheFunkbomb: cgmail works nicely [19:47] is there a way for me to change my xterm resolution while not inside xterm? [19:47] TheFunkbomb: it can notify you of new mail without a mail client having to be running [19:48] let me see if I can set that up [19:48] Do the thumbnails in ~/.thumbnails get removed automatically when the pic associated with the thumb is deleted? [19:48] I have a question about kernel boot params [19:48] Izinucs: i dont think so, but you could make something in gimp and testit [19:48] !ask | z32kyle [19:48] z32kyle: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [19:49] maco, are you talking about cgmail or thunderbird? [19:49] maco: thanks.. that was my next step [19:49] I have a machine with 6gb or ram and program that is 32bit, i need to limit the ram to 3gb while i use this program. Can I edit the kernel boot params at boot time to do this? [19:49] TheFunkbomb: cgmail is "check gnome mail" (works in xfce too i believe) and it can check a pop or imap server for new mail every few minutes and tell you there's a new mail. i used it for a long time without a desktop mail client to check my gmail [19:50] okay [19:50] maco thanks [19:50] zmanning: mem=3072m i think [19:50] Hello everyone :) I have made a script that updates the system and installs Nginx with PHP support and MySQL with minimal user-interaction (only asks for mysql root password pretty early). If anyone could please check it out and give me some feedback it would be great! http://insecure.no/2009/01/easy-nginx-php-and-mysql-installer-script/ [19:50] And if anyone knows how to suppress the big blue screen asking for MySQL root password so i can set it manually later? Hope anyone has a tips or two for me :) [19:51] z32kyle: er that was for you. mem=3072m [19:51] I tried adding mem=3072 to the kernel line when booting and I get a panic [19:51] oops missing the m? [19:51] thehook, google: apt default priority [19:51] ok so im a total noob here, and im in the middle of an install, im trying to save all my data which i have on /dev/sda6, i need to format /dev/sda5 as /boot, when i went to do that, i got a pop up message stating "the file system on /dev/sda5 assigned to /boot has not been marked for formatting. directories containing system files(/boot,/ect,/usr,/var,...) that already exist under any defined mountpoint will be beleted during the in [19:51] stall" so i need to know is that only effecting the /dev/sda5 or all partitions? [19:51] z32kyle: i think the m matters, yes [19:51] when I install the correct drivers for my gpu xterm is set to a resolution my screen can't display, is there a way to change this while not in xterm? [19:51] is OO.o in the repos yet? [19:51] maco, yes, then try to pair [19:51] Is grub capable of sending commands to a serial port before loading an os? I know console output can be redirected on serial, but can I send custom data without the redirection? I just need to send a single string @ 115200bps, 8 databits, no parity, 1 stop bits, no flow control [19:52] alright, I'll give that a shot and return if it doesn't work. Thanks maco [19:52] thehook, actually, make that: dpkg default priority [19:52] since some recent update my krusader looks like this (no titlebar) http://img90.imageshack.us/my.php?image=krusadernq4.png (or is that just some fullscreen mode I don't know how to get out of?) [19:52] ubuntu_: its just telling you to hit the "format" checkbox on the /boot line [19:52] z32kyle: I don't run 64bit but I remember "listening" here that you need something like ia32libs and a setup so you can run 32 bit on a 64 bit system. nothing is involved with the kernel line [19:53] maco: thats not going to delete any data on any other partitions correct? [19:53] i'm fairly new partitions, so it might depend on how to upgrade from 8 [19:53] ubuntu_: only the ones you mark for formatting will be formatted. [19:53] cwillu: the problem is i can't really use the graphical interface [19:53] Izinucs: good point [19:53] cwillu: so i need to do it via CLI [19:53] exco: are you using compiz? [19:54] maco: thank you very much, i was scared there for a moment, you saved my day [19:54] maco: yes [19:54] exco: if yes, go to the workarounds section of compizconfig-settings-manager and disable legacy fullscreen support. some apps have trouble with it. [19:54] maco, will this cgmail run at start up as a hidden process? [19:54] TheFunkbomb: you can put it in your session startup if you like [19:55] whats the octal eqvuialent to -rwSr-sr-x, 6765? [19:55] maco, I don't know if I'm smart enough to do that [19:55] hy [19:55] how i can verify if the firewall is on? [19:55] hey [19:55] does anyone use MediaTomb with PS3 here?

[20:34] it plays =) [20:34] hello guys, if i print pdf from evince, i get extra trash like @PJL SET MANUALFEED ON... it's HP LaserJet 6L, using Foomatic/ljet4 driver, any ideas? (remote printing over samba from windows using ....adobe postscript driver i think works) [20:34] leonardo_, burn the video_ts and audio_ts to the root of a DVD, iot will play in any DVD player. [20:34] because VOB is indeed MPEG [20:34] Hi, I just did sudo apt-get install proftpd, during installation I got prompted with two choices, standalone and some other, I chose the other.. now /etc/proftpd.conf does not exist, and when I do /etc/init.d/proftpd restart I get ProFTPd is started from inetd/xinetd [20:34] and there is random line of character over each page [20:34] macd: ok =) [20:35] macd: I've doe that already [20:35] By the way, [20:35] Solet, that doesnt sound too dangerous, and should give you what you want [20:35] I had to install a different package than nvidia-glx-legacy [20:35] if ive installed the ubuntu tftp server where can i find the folder to put my files i want stored on it? i cnat find a folder called tftp [20:35] for all, to play dvd files do: xine VIDEO_TS/ [20:35] Because that one doesn;t exist, it's just a virtual package or whatever [20:35] then with xine's menu [20:36] you select the subtitle, audio and chapters =) [20:36] it's working fine for me here [20:36] But when I install the proper package (the one with the 71 in it) it just leaves me like I am now. [20:36] hi, could someone can told me where i can find some information how to configure wifi usb interface on asus eee Pc. i can see plugged usbwifi interface in ifconfig but cant connect via this interface [20:38] anyone know anything about tftp? [20:38] I have a bluetooth adapter problem, my ubuntu found my adapter immediately and when I connect my USB mouse to it, it finds it! But when I connect them it says Couldn't display "obex://[00:07:61:96:A0:02]/". and Error: Host down [20:38] j-b-r, did you or did you see apt make the changes to the Xorg config file? i.e. the "Driver" confi directive? [20:38] Please select another viewer and try again. [20:38] baal: look at array.org kernel [20:38] hey, anyone here use 'revelation' password manager? Is there a way to sort the entries alphabetically!!??? [20:38] forceflow and macd thanks for the attention ;) [20:39] leonardo_, good luck. [20:39] thx [20:39] I have a bluetooth adapter problem, my ubuntu found my adapter immediately and when I connect my USB mouse to it, it finds it! But when I connect them it says Couldn't display "obex://[00:07:61:96:A0:02]/". and Error: Host down [20:39] Please select another viewer and try again. [20:39] Well, I've looked at the xorg config file [20:40] and right now I'm using the one that is autogenerated when ubuntu is running in "low graphics mode" [20:40] why is openSSH not in the normal repo? [20:41] i have 2.24.6 karnel and wifi usb was working good but i can't see integratet one, when i changed karnel to ee Pc integrated start working but i found problems with wifi usb [20:41] Ok, yeah, my xorg config is really short right now [20:42] and has very few sections [20:42] baal: eee has integrated. why you want external? [20:42] I have a bluetooth adapter problem, my ubuntu found my adapter immediately and when I connect my USB mouse to it, it finds it! But when I connect them it says Couldn't display "obex://[00:07:61:96:A0:02]/". and Error: Host down [20:42] Please select another viewer and try again. [20:43] dot: if some knew the answer i'm sure they would say, please do not just repeat [20:43] I'm having a hard time understanding the smb.conf file [20:43] Why don't I see the driver in the driver manager like I'm supposed to anyway? [20:43] what the apt package name for *OpenSSH*? [20:44] j-b-r, try just changing the driver directive to "nv", OR try using "nvidia-settings" (also installable via apt) [20:44] baz: ssh [20:44] baz_: Er, the client and server are both in main [20:44] j-b-r, I dont think the drive manager relly supports the older cards, aside from that, its not perfect software. [20:44] I've done the nvidia settings thing, but let me try doing that again and then changing it to nv [20:45] anyone here willing to baby me through setting up my external HDD on my SMB share? [20:45] baz_: 'ssh' has both openssh-client and -server as dependencies [20:45] Pici, thru add/remove? [20:45] hello [20:45] Pici, basically i want to access my desktop remotely thru ssh [20:45] baz_: I'm not sure. They are definitely in Synaptic/apt-get [20:45] Pici, so should i apt-get the openssh-server? [20:45] yes [20:46] baz_: just apt-get install ssh [20:46] just apt-get install ssh will get you both client and server [20:46] Pici, ahhh there we go! thanks [20:46] macd: I tried ripping again and dvdrip aborts with "Not enabling PSU core, because this movie has only one PSU." === sean is now known as Guest84174 [20:46] hmm... how can i browse through my windows based network shares..? [20:47] mikail: samba [20:47] Izinucs, ok, and? PSU core has todo with audio/video snycronization [20:47] Pici, so excuse my idiocy but how come I need a client too? I have been ssh'ing into remote boxes using the command-line "ssh"... is that not a client? [20:47] baz_: That is the client [20:47] macd: i had no idea.. new to all this transcoding stuff. [20:47] Izinucs, uncheck the box, as well Izinucs in the prefernces area there is a check for all required software and directory rip premissions, Id run that test. [20:48] k [20:48] baz_: openssh-client provides /usr/bin/ssh [20:48] Izinucs, (the box for ENABLE PSU CIRE) [20:48] does any body know what the default buildir (--builddir) is for ubuntu when compling C applications ? [20:48] Pici, ok, so the client comes by default with ubuntu... so when i "apt-get ssh" it just checks that its there, see it, then only installs the server since I already have it.... right? [20:49] Izinucs, again if I had one in front of me I could check a few more things, maybe Pici has a workstation with it installed ;) [20:49] baz_: Indeed [20:49] skinofstars1, got it installed now how do I use it...? <- pretty much a newbie [20:49] macd: the psu core was set at "no" as default.. [20:49] macd, Izinucs: only ssh access at the moment, sorry. [20:49] Pici, awesome... i think I am ready to contribute to the linux kernel now... where do i go? :0 [20:49] Pici: np [20:49] !kernel | baz_ start here [20:49] baz_ start here: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [20:50] mikail: first you have to make sure you are on the same workgroup name as your windows computers... err, try this guide: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Intrepid#Networking [20:51] skinofstars1, thx. that should keep me busy for a while :) [20:52] is having private/public ssh logging where the public key has a password for itself (so when logging with the key, a password is asked) the safest ssh gets ? [20:52] Ok, look, same thing happens again and again no matter what I change. [20:53] mikail: just noticed that the workgroup thing isn't on that guide. you need to do this: 'sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf' then edit the line that says workgroup = WORKGROUP to whatever your local is called [20:53] When I reboot, it shows a thing that says something about auto setting up a nvidia driver [20:53] and it mentions my driver version [20:53] but then it says "FAIL" [20:53] Hello I am looking for some help troubleshooting xmodmap getting a key to work as third level chooser. [20:53] and then Ubuntu makes me go through an ordeal about low graphics mode [20:54] i was able to makeup a NIC by sending an handmake frame but now my dhcp tftp servers dont boot the wakeup client... [20:54] and then it finally comes up with a graphical login prompt [20:54] Will I have problems in Ubuntu 8.10 if I format my second hard drive in ext4 (I compiled 2.6.28 kernel)? [20:54] hi guys [20:54] But it's still stick in low graphics mode [20:54] i have a question, i accidently [20:55] As far as I can tell, the problem is with getting some sort of kernel module [20:55] that matches my version [20:55] i accidently deleted a configuration folder for asterisk, how can i restore it? purging and then reinstalling isn't really working :S [20:55] j-b-r, in a console type "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf grepp EE" then paste the output into pastebin [20:55] !pastebin [20:55] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[21:01] >so Im correct to assume you have bridged the host adapter and physical adapeter in ubuntu? [21:01] YES [21:01] Ok, actually, I've already done something VERY similar to that [21:01] Pici, wheres the openssh conf file... how do i change the port from 22 >> 4433 [21:02] do i need to reboot to finish my kernel update? [21:02] j-b-r_, Im pretty sure this line "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`" is what your missing [21:02] zsakr, YES. [21:02] I've definitely done that already [21:03] Afternoon, folks. [21:03] I guess I'll do it again [21:03] macd: I just succeed in waking up a diskless workstation but it won't boot with my dhcp server i settup , following the ubuntu howto. they say too boot with a floopy the first time to type some commands on the client but this DISKLESS workstation doesnt have diskettes [21:03] baz_, /etc/ssh/sshd_config [21:03] <^Migs^> I can't figure out how to set VNC so it automatically starts up when the system boots. I don't want to have to log in to get a VNC session. [21:03] thanks macd [21:03] macd, gratsi [21:03] i've got the same issue with VNC at startup [21:03] j-b-r_, interesting, Id be interest to see the output of the error you recieve while trying to build the nvidsia module [21:04] ^Migs^: you have to. VNC exports a display. it does not create one. X has to be running for VNC to start. [21:04] I upgraded to 8.10 and now my nvidia screen is nt loading and uysing all of my monitor screen! [21:04] need help with a grainy screen [21:04] "unable to build nvidia kernel module" [21:04] jef_buntu_, I'm not really familiar with diskless, but asking the room ingeneral not targetting me may invoke someone else to respond [21:04] so how do I kill process that killall wont kill? [21:05] j-b-r_, is that the entire error? [21:05] First it looks in the file, then on an FTP site, and then it tries to compile [21:05] sanguisdex1, "sudo killall " [21:05] Hi. I just succeed in waking up a diskless workstation but it won't boot with my dhcp server i settup , following the ubuntu howto. they say too boot with a floopy the first time to type some commands on the client but this DISKLESS workstation doesnt have diskettes [21:05] It's in a sort of text based dialog box, so I'm pretty sure that's it [21:05] macd: thanx will try [21:05] im Just trying to keep my desktop updated. [21:05] two problems. S-video out and USB soundcard works in windows not in ubuntu. [21:05] That comes from the nvidia installer [21:05] j-b-r_, gotcha, short of not having the kernel headers, and having build-essential installed, Im pretty much out of ideas [21:06] jef_buntu_, Can you temporally hook up a drive? [21:06] from 2.6.27-9 to 2.6.27-11 [21:06] Yeah, that seems to be what the whole internet is telling me [21:06] done [21:06] just installed ubuntu on my acer aspire 3000 and for some reason when i login my screen gets all grainy any ideas? [21:06] from 2.6.27-9 to 2.6.27-11 [21:06] I upgraded to 8.10 and now my nvidia screen is not loading and using all of my monitor screen!

[21:06] j-b-r_, not that Id expect any different outcome [21:06] I have tried that [21:07] And it said it worked, but then I got the "FAIL" during boot [21:07] Ah, gotcha. There's absolutely nothing in the BIOS to enable that?

[21:08] emmy__, Did you install the video drivers from Ubuntu? [21:08] macd: sudo kill all did not work [21:08] Can you boot to an operating system thats on a slave hard drive? [21:08] hello! Could it be that nvidia replace nvidia.ko and some other files that I install if I don't use nvidia driver from ubuntu package? === eracc_ is now known as eracc [21:08] sudo rm -rf / :-) [21:08] ViperBorg how do i do that [21:09] Shinjin, go into your bios and change the boot order on the drives. [21:09] Okay [21:09] ViperBorg: but anyway since the diskless workstation is made to work disklessly....anyconfiguration made on it wont change anything on itself but only in server, so if the server is my laptop, i could do it directly on my laptop [21:09] emmy_, Go to System, then to Administration, and click on Hardware Drivers. [21:09] My laptop's videocard is not correctly detected,= (no 3D acceleration), i guess it is using intel i830 chipset, how to setup correctly the video card? [21:09] yes I have nvidia-config and nvidia X Server settings [21:09] Anybody know how I could play .rmvb format on Ubuntu?

[21:10] jef_buntu_, Right. Gotcha. Eh... let me poke around the forums and see if I come along anything. [21:10] sanguisdex1, "sudo kill -9 PID" [21:10] is there any way to step down from 64 bit down to 32bit with out reinstalling [21:10] ViperBorg when there what do i do? [21:10] Yeah zash [21:10] John_, No, you would need to reinstall. [21:10] just wondering which is the way to go here.. running on 64b system, which causes that problem afaik. is it enough to just build my own libmysql? [21:10] where is this "kernel source tree"? [21:10] thanks viperborg [21:11] darn [21:11] John_, Your Welcome. [21:11] emmy_, Does it give a list of drivers there? === stas__ is now known as netslow [21:11] Can anyone tell me where's the videocard info file located?

I would at least need to know the video card. Have you tried to post this problem on the forums? It may get a better result from someone more knowledgeable than me there. [21:14] guntbert, my qt+kde setup is selfcompiled by myself, because I need it for development use [21:15] is there anyone here to help me with my NVIDIA driver to use the whole monitor screen??

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

How do I get my .rmvb files to get played on UBUNTU? [21:16] the driver was working with 8.04 LTS [21:17] Blinkiz, just us chkconfig, if the source tree has no debian rules debuild isnt very effective.

[21:19] theshadow: issues? [21:19] theshadow: as in you have problems, or evolution has problems ... aka bugs? [21:19] why is that OnlyWhisky??

[21:20] oxeimo1: fg [21:20] ya [21:20] ahh k [21:20] sweetgum, either hardware drivers *should* tell you what it is. Unless it's really obscure. As to find out exactly what it is from within Linux, I'm not sure. That's never something I really dove into, mate. Sorry. [21:20] zash: Wait. I think I finally figured it out [21:20] guntbert, will do. That line was genius. Thanks. [21:20] dexhu: because they don't interested in helping nvidia users [21:21] dual booting Crunchbang and ubuntu. using Crunchbangs grub, when ubuntu updates the kernel it won't be written to the grub then since it's Crunchbang's grub? [21:21] dexhu: doing so they will aprove that problem exist, but they don't want to) [21:21] ViperBorg: np :) [21:21] hmm, the source package got with apt-get source libmysqlclient5-dev has this in debian/rules: "CFLAGS=${MYSQL_BUILD_CFLAGS:-"-DBIG_JOINS=1 -O2 -fPIC"}".. mm, so -fPIC should be used per default there, right?

[21:28] <_Vi_> shizumasa14: so try 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' NO quotes [21:28] fanfinifinfon, I cant think of any reason you would ever want todo that [21:28] skinofstars1, i went to their site and downloaded the .deb...its for i386 [21:28] fanfinifinfon: Why would it restart ? [21:28] ViperBorg: thanks, ill be trying a forum for the first time now [21:29] <^Migs^> you have to samba start after you stop it [21:29] fanfinifinfon: why would you want to start samba every minute? [21:29] fanfinifinfon: It should only restart - given that config - when you reboot the computer [21:29] thx [21:29] hi, I'm having some performance troubles with Hardy. After a little while of usage (1-2 hours) the system's bogged down and slow to do anything. The only thing so far to fix it is a reboot (restarting gdm doesn't fix the problem; at first I suspected some kind of memory leak because Xorg looked like it was hogging resources, but that might just be how it is). How do I track down what the problem is? top doesn't show anything imme [21:29] diately suspicious besides Xorg [21:29] i did it because if samba stops somehow, i want it to restart automatically [21:29] hello all, i recently changed my sound card and now i can only get rhythmbox to play sound... is there any way i can enable the new sound card and disable the onboard one? [21:29] hello [21:29] hey hi [21:29] jimi: you need x86_64 [21:29] i want it to be up everytime. [21:29] <^Migs^> uh... [21:29] oh nevermind that was wrong [21:29] even if it stops accidentaly, it should restart immediately [21:29] <^Migs^> I wouldn't do that [21:29] I read that config line wrong .. [21:29] <^Migs^> why would it stop accidentally? [21:29] fanfinifinfon, then you need to write a schell script to check for sambas PID, then restart if its stopped, and run that every few minutes. [21:30] does anyone know any nice program to create nice fliers [21:30] <^Migs^> yeah, macd has the right idea [21:30] !who | ^Migs^ [21:30] ^Migs^: 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 :) [21:30] ofix-comp, inkscape maybe [21:30] fanfinifinfon: does you samba magically stop or do you get an error? [21:30] macd: how do i check samba's pid? [21:30] fanfinifinfon, I think its time to read shell scripting 101. [21:30] jimi: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [21:30] does it has any templates? === andrea is now known as Guest75270 [21:30] <^Migs^> no, guntbert [21:30] blushadem: not magically. but you know there's always unforeseen things [21:30] fanfinifinfon, http://www.tinker.ncsu.edu/LEGO/shell_help.html [21:31] ^Migs^: no ?what? [21:31] blushadem: something unuxpected happens maybe [21:31] mm [21:31] fanfinifinfon: If samba stops then you need to check the error logs to see wht it stopped [21:31] !oel [21:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about oel [21:32] !eol [21:32] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [21:32] what about end of line? [21:32] !EOL [21:32] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [21:32] hmm [21:32] ofix-comp: you could use Scribus [21:32] not case sensitive [21:32] how do i install .jar files? [21:32] blushadem: i'm not going to be next to the samba server. it has to restart immediately if it fails. i'll check the results possibly at the end of the day [21:32] fanfinifinfon: if a service stops, its mostly for a reason, and therefore a simple restart will accomplish nothing [21:33] yay [21:33] what is this [21:33] mm? [21:33] fanfinifinfon: I would follow what macd said then [21:33] guntbert: if it saves only the day, that's enough [21:33] kouya: peopable no install needed just java -jar myfile.jar to run it [21:33] oooohhhhh shiny [21:33] monitor the pid and if it not there then restart it [21:33] ok thanks [21:33] kouya: id you have java installed [21:33] ok thanks [21:33] i use evolution for e-mail and have multiple gmail account configured on it. i've been having no problems sending/receiving, but today, the smtp.gmail server just seems stalled and i can't send any e-mail (except for one account) from evolution. has anyone else ever experienced this? i'm not sure what's happening [21:34] fanfinifinfon: it probably won't [21:34] fanfinifinfon: I think the pids in /var/run [21:34] how can i figure out why my sound isn't working on my laptop?? [21:35] blushadem: ? [21:35] thanks! [21:35] hey [21:35] i i havent tryed that way :) [21:35] grndslm: double click that speaker in the top right corner and start playing with switches [21:35] Guest75270: do you have a question? [21:36] okay installing scribus [21:36] grndslm: i always find turning off external helps [21:36] nope [21:36] thanks [21:36] fanfinifinfon: You asked for the pid of samba check in /var/run [21:36] lets see how it works :) [21:36] lol [21:36] blushadem: thank you [21:36] fanfinifinfon: no problem [21:37] skinofstars1: I've done that already [21:38] seems like i dont have java, what package do you recomend? [21:38] will sun java work? [21:38] when I install the correct gpu it changes the resolution on my xterm to more than my monitor cna display. Does anyone have any idea how I solve this? [21:38] kouya, yes, it will. [21:38] !fixres [21:38] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [21:38] I have some Ogg Theora movies I want to edit a little, just slicing out some video off the end, and appending another movie to it. Can anyone suggest a program that would do that? [21:38] thanks [21:39] Preferably graphical. [21:40] paul: you may have to convert it first [21:41] is there a good article that anyone (or the bot) knows of for getting hibernation to work right in intrepid (using gnome), i've read up on it a little and so far all i see are problems out the wazoo [21:41] scribus looks nice [21:41] Solet, welcome to linux ;) [21:41] paul: look up kdenlive in your repositories. but it will probably not open an ogg. [21:42] Solet, suspend to disk seems to work better, though not quite hibernating still pretty loe power use [21:42] xrandr shows I only have one screen [21:42] How would I get to a terminal window when my monitor can't show the resolution macd ? [21:42] if I boot into ubuntu and after the login screen it displays only my background and desktop, how do I get my panels to come up? [21:42] yousei, reboot into non-graphical mode. [21:43] Hey, is it possible to limit certain users to certain apps? [21:43] Hi ... How do i cancel ping response in bash? [21:43] hey, is there a x86 to x86_64 cross compile somewhere in ubuntu repos? [21:43] macd: when i hit suspend thismorning and put laptop in bag, it was quite warm when i pulled it out. i dont always use it, i woudlnt want to keep it suspended in it's bag for 3-4 days. that'd be bad [21:43] I'll just stop asking how here.. I don't think I'm going to get this running anyway [21:43] Ubundude: did you delete them? [21:43] thanks anyway macd [21:43] hi, where can I get a postgresql 8.2 package for intrepid ? [21:43] Solet, for sure. I havent had any luck with hibernate + ati/nvidia drivers, or intel wifi. [21:44] Indy: no they just don't display once I'm awhile after I log in [21:44] sm: you could look up the deb archive found through debian.org [21:44] zubair: c [21:44] macd: do you know what vid drivers eeebuntu uses? [21:45] guntbert... thanks [21:45] it should be an inteldriver [21:45] schnitz: I have been searching the ubuntu packages on launchpad and packages.ubuntu.com, they are confusing and all seem to end up at hardy packages. Might those work ? [21:45] zubair: np:) [21:45] sm:yes they might. [21:45] Solet, Solet what model eee pc? [21:46] I guess I'll try adding hardy to sources.list and install, thanks [21:46] sm:or you could try to download the deb-archive itself. [21:46] Solet, nevermind, I see Intel GMA 9xx gfx, and intel wifi, good luck with that one ;) [21:47] Solet, try the ubuntu forums for eeebuntu yet? [21:48] sm, intrepid only has pgsql 8.3. [21:48] solet: for eeepc use the array.org kernel [21:48] macd: yes, that's my problem [21:48] need to try an older pg [21:48] sm, then I suggest installing from source. [21:48] so, I can't seem to find, even with Google helping around, how to implement 2 factor security: public/private key + password. Anyone have a lead for me ? [21:48] sm, or dont use intrepid [21:49] whats the latest kernel version for 8.10? 2.6.28.2? [21:49] too late.. thanks [21:49] LakesProse, the same process for key based ssh logins, ONLY supply the password during that process of creating a key. [21:50] kev_: I have 2.6.27-9-generic [21:50] skinofstars1: i am using the array.org kernel, that's what comes with eeebuntu now [21:50] i thought there was a 2.6.29? [21:50] macd: checked lsmod, my vid driver is intel_agp [21:50] www.kernel.org [21:50] macd: that wouldnt work because server can't enforce number of tries for example. I mean, I'd want to have a system where someone must have the key and also a password whose validity is confirmed by the server [21:50] cant figure out what the wifi one is [21:51] solet: oh, i'm using normal intrepid with array.org and it works well on my 901 [21:51] macd: sorta like the normal user/password challenge you get in ssh but add in having to have the key [21:51] LakesProse, yeah using a password protected key isnt good enough? [21:51] LakesProse, are you want to enforce login attempts, etc as well [21:51] kev_: I wouldn't know, I just take the offered updates :) [21:52] macd: I don't know, is it ? isn't in more breakable than having a user/password challenge from server (with something like OSSEC to take care of brute forcing) ? [21:52] skinofstars1: what did you have to do to get hibernate to work on the 901? [21:52] how do i find the name of a usb floppy drive [21:52] LakesProse, the only other real idea I could give you is radius. [21:52] LakesProse, key based login is most secure than password based, it could never be brute forced. [21:53] carlsberg [21:53] macd: I know but I mean, isn't it easier to find the password from the key when it was generated that find a password that is on the server where you can't brute force it ? [21:54] LakesProse, only if you have the capability of cracking the keys encryption method, which is HIGHLY UNLIKELY [21:54] solent: for the lid close thing system>preferences>power management [21:54] macd: the point is, if evil person has the key, should he be more afraid of the key having that 'embedded' password or a having the server challenge him with the password ? [21:54] macd: oh! [21:54] okay... so I'm still having a hard time with this external HDD [21:54] macd: oh ok [21:55] LakesProse, yeah a passworded key doesnt matter who has the key, the pass is still safe. [21:55] schnitz, macd: looks like I got lucky, two hardy pg debs downloaded from launchpad work fine on intrepid. Thanks for the help [21:55] LakesProse, now if the attacker gets the public and private keypair your in trouble. [21:55] skinofstars1: i want it to hibernate instead of suspend, so that i can leave it for a few days at a time then boot back into what i had open [21:55] hello people! [21:55] it says it's filesystem type is MSDOS [21:55] sm, good luck, and next time you apt-get upgrade you may run into problems unless you "pin" those packages. [21:56] * Izinucs just installed the latest nvidia driver 180.22 .. wow .. what an improvement over the 180.11 w/gforce 8200 [21:56] skinofstars1: but hibernate isnt on the poweroff list, and the internet says it screws things up unless you do it right, yet i see no where telling me how to do it right. have you gotten hibernate to work on the eee 901? [21:56] ive got a problem with my instalation [21:56] could anybody help me? [21:56] LakesProse, then again in order to get the private key, your server is already copromised. [21:56] solent: there is an option in the power management section for lid close [21:56] !ask | Roby [21:56] Roby: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) === bod is now known as Bodsda [21:56] solent: yeah hibernate works no problem [21:56] on lid close [21:57] yeah, I didn't dare go down the mixing hardy in sources.list road [21:57] is there a commandline method of adding a user using a hash for the password? [21:57] but i'm ont using eeeubuntu, just normal intrepid [21:57] ive got a problem with my instalation, the point is. if i try to install ubuntu my screen turn black during the instalation, i tried linux mint and it has the same problem what could be the problem? [21:57] hi, what can i use to demux a dvd with subtitles so that i can play all subtitles from the original movie, with VLC for example [21:57] (what proggy?) [21:58] join [21:58] macd: what do you mean ? if someone got the private key, it means the client is compromised AFAIK [21:59] I'm trying to share an External HDD on an SMB share. my other files share no problem... but this one always asks for a username and password. why? [21:59] LakesProse, sorry I was backwards, yes you are right. [21:59] LakesProse, nothing else changes however, your still secure with passworded keys. [21:59] macd: okay cool, I'll take a look at RADIUS . but maybe I'm just paranoid [22:00] macd: actually I'm looking for that extra 'it-takes more than finding the private key' step [22:01] macd: but I guess it's already there.. I mean, how much time could it take to find the password on a private key ? [22:01] Thats what Im getting at, just having the key isnt enough it still has to be cracked [22:01] LakesProse, realistically with 2048bit rsa, years? [22:01] maybe a decade ;) [22:01] less time with ps3's ;) [22:02] macd: okay, so cut that in half since it doesn't mean the last password it tries to guess it the good password [22:02] hehe, yeah ps3, cool and uncool [22:02] trying to install drivers for my videocard, it says I can't install while "an X server" is running [22:02] can I even share an MSDOS filesystem type and allow read write access to anyone on the SMB share? [22:03] macd: still, I dont know, I am under the impression that a server with decent anti-brute forece components is safer than private key with its password [22:04] how crazy am I? [22:04] hi, what can i use to demux a dvd with subtitles so that i can play all subtitles from the original movie, with VLC for example [22:04] nobody is here to help me? sure nice lol [22:04] Hey guys, I'm having some trouble with playing DVD's [22:04] calwig: just playing with dvdrip now.. it's in the repo's [22:04] LakesProse, thats opposite of what I think, but hey to each their own [22:04] Hey guys I'm having some trouble with playing HD MPEG2 files. [22:05] Hello.. I have an ubuntu iso and I have it burnt to a CD as well.. I'm trying to install it onto an SD card so that I can boot it on multiple computers, and any software I install will be saved back onto the SD card - any ideas? [22:05] amrcidiot: you need to enable the medibuntu repos and install libdvdcs or similar.. [22:05] macd: indeed, thats why I wanted best of both worlds :D [22:05] how do i enavle the repos?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:11] Hello [22:11] Ok so I'm having problems hibernating a lot in ubuntu. It frequently says I don't have enough swap space available, so I usually close down quite a few programs before I hibernate so that this doesn't happen, which sort of defeats the purpose of hibernating. A day or 2 ago I close down most programs and when I went to hibernate it gave me the error that I didn't have enough free swap space. I when I got back to the gui I ran "free -m" and got this result: [22:11] http://pastebin.com/d6ea91938 . I don't understand how I could not hibernate when between my used memory and used swap space, its less than my total swap space. Any help? [22:11] woa crowded channel, cool! [22:11] how can i get Ubuntu on my Eee 901 with Xandros? [22:11] I need to add a path to the shared library paths... how can I do this? [22:11] I'm not sure where to start to get 8.10 to recognize my wireless router.

[22:13] Thank you ikonia [22:13] because the sdl packages didnot help [22:13] bobrien: thats no reason to help [22:13] bobrien: no reason to compile it [22:13] quentin: what is your question? [22:13] bobrien: it's probably your display parameter, SDL is used for "displaying" your virtual machine [22:13] PM me? [22:13] Izinucs: I already tried to install libdvdcs and accidentally didn't accept to install Sun Java, now it won't let me get to where i can accept it. [22:14] bobrien: compiling SDL from source could have corrupted your machine and created un-needed conflicts [22:14] bobrien: with a few other packaages ive noticed that they're looking for a truncated version of the sdl libs as in the links are broken are missing [22:14] quentin: ask in the channel please [22:14] Well, I just want to get my desktop customized really well.

[22:53] !mediatomb [22:53] To stream media to other UPNP aware devices (such as the Xbox, PS3, or iRadio) you need a UPNP server. See !info mediatomb for information regarding the MediaTomb package [22:54] first time [22:54] sifr: i have used it before [22:54] anyone know here about DVD ripping? [22:54] nova? [22:54] sifr: the machine with iebx on it was using it before [22:54] Haris_Amin: so the problem is that it has just stopped working for no apparent reason, right? [22:54] ikehn7: Hold on [22:54] k [22:54] anyone ever installed linux on USB bootable drive?? I want to use the USB drive to boot up on hosed win pc's [22:54] sifr: the wireless connection currently just has an SSID no password encryption yet [22:54] sifr: pretty much yeah [22:54] marek_: problems with jaunty are understandable, the best i could suggest is adding repos manually [22:55] skinofstars1 how can i do it? [22:55] ola [22:55] sifr: i've deleted and recreated a connection several times and rebooted the machine too but that doesn't help either [22:55] can i setup local release? [22:55] Haris_Amin: and what exactly does it say or happens? [22:55] does xubuntu ship with openoffice by default? [22:55] sifr: well nothing [22:55] hi folks, can someone tell me the invocation to apt that will stop it from trying to install gcj for java on all java-based apps? i already have sun-java-6 installed. [22:55] sifr: ok so i go to add connections and say ok [22:56] ikehn7: Try going to http://192.168.1.254 in the browser of your computer that is connected to the internet [22:56] i think xubuntu has abiword instead of openoffice [22:56] sifr: but when i click on the network manager icon Wireless Networks is not highlighted [22:56] marek_: that would make sense, seeing as you only need the disc while you are installing. you'll have to research it it throw it open to the room though [22:57] Haris_Amin: you mean the icon on the taskbar? the applet? [22:57] sifr: yes [22:57] k it works [22:57] what am i looking for [22:57] ikehn7: OK, now look for something on there that says "SSID" [22:57] ikehn7: you may need to click a few links to find settings or such. [22:57] anyone here with a latitude laptop noticed the computer freezing up lately [22:57] ?? [22:57] oh ok [22:57] Haris_Amin: you only see networks you are connected to in that list [22:57] chat [22:58] sifr: oh ok [22:58] Haris_Amin: so if you failed to connect you wont see the network in that dialog [22:58] [22:58] [22:58] [22:58] s1ma0: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I think I am going to use either TrueCrypt or dm-crypt. I've heard TrueCrypt has some problems though. Anyone have experience with it? [22:59] chihau: /var [22:59] sifr: thats the thing idon't see any drop down...i have two icons [22:59] wafflesdr: use LVM [22:59] Haris_Amin: you'll only need to recognise your own if you have more than one on the list, if you just have one then its probably yours! [23:00] chihau: xorg.conf is not really used in jaunty, prefering HAL [23:00] <_Vi_> wafflesdr: truecrypt wont encrypt a linux drive, only windows oddly enough [23:00] Haris_Amin: no drop down on left-click? [23:00] anyone here happen to use gtk-gnutella? [23:00] sifr: one icon that says 'Wire Netowrk,, Auto eth0 Wireless Networks device is unmanaged and VPN COnenctions' [23:00] wait lifenova [23:00] chihau: correction, not really used in intrepid, will; return in jaunty [23:00] how bout access point [23:00] is that it? [23:00] _Vi_: There are posts on the forum about people using TrueCrypt for Linux [23:00] cuz i can't find ssid [23:00] sifr: sorry when i left click on that icon i get what i just explaned to u [23:01] Hi, I made a FTP server (using proftpd) but when I connect and upload some data like "put /dev/null" it tells me an error message "550 /dev/null: Not a regular file". Does anyone know, where could be the problem? [23:01] ikehn7: access point might be something on the same page [23:01] sifr: and there seems to be a greyed out bubble around Auto eth0 [23:01] ikehn7: try clicking on something like "Network settings" [23:01] Haris_Amin: do you have a function key for wireless enabling on the keyboard? [23:01] mneptok: LVM doesn't look like full encryption [23:01] skinofstars1 i did it, it is not a bug [23:01] Haris_Amin: i think its usually Fn+F2 or something === felix_da_catz is now known as felix-da-catz_zz [23:01] ikehn7: Click on "Home Network" if you see that, and then click on "Edit Settings" near where it says Wireless Settings [23:01] i just had to find a host with jaunty releses proper file :) [23:01] marek_: what was the solution?

[23:02] ftp.wcss.pl and folder /ubuntu :) [23:02] k [23:02] marek_: poland?! well, what how about that [23:02] skinofstars1: why is this? [23:03] id also mention that im the only host listed in the host cache part of the program [23:03] skinofstars1 that mirror server is in my city :) [23:03] found it [23:03] ikehn7: you found Network Name? [23:03] chihau: changes in the way xorg works, you can still add devices, etc, to xorg.conf and it will work [23:03] is it net work name? [23:04] marek_: all the better :) [23:04] ikehn7: Yeah. [23:04] 2wire665 [23:04] Hi, I made a FTP server (using proftpd) but when I connect and upload some data like "put /dev/null" it tells me an error message "550 /dev/null: Not a regular file". Does anyone know, where could be the problem? [23:04] is that it? [23:04] ikehn7: While your own that page look and see if there is any wireless security [23:04] well, I see a semi spinning on the ice that's in imminent danger of taking out a power pole, so I'm shutting down and unplugging...hasta manana a todos [23:04] ya [23:04] there is [23:04] breta: why FTP and not SFTP? [23:04] breta: is that a text file or binary file>? [23:04] its web open [23:04] ikehn7: Ok, is it checked to use the default key [23:05] yes [23:05] Hi [23:05] someone use ubuntu 8.10 64? [23:05] yes [23:05] Hey, is there a way to get Wine to see my 32bit Program files? It only sees 64 [23:05] it is [23:05] default [23:05] ikehn7: OK, now, find the default key (according to the page I'm looking at, it should be on the bottom of your router.) Write that down [23:05] If I boot my Mac from a Live CD, is there any way to make it use MBR instead of GPT? Unfortunately, they aren't synced [23:05] Haris_Amin: ?? [23:06] sifr: one sec i'm restarting my ubuntu machine [23:06] aclonedsheep: something to do with chown maybe? [23:06] k got it [23:06] I'm thinking that ubuntu 64 consume lots of memory [23:06] Haris_Amin: well u didnt have to i think the function key works while its running [23:06] ikehn7: OK, now go back to your Ubuntu laptop and click the add screen again [23:06] aclonedsheep: or perhaps i mean chroot [23:06] k [23:06] ikehn7: Type the network name next to where it says SSID, then click on the wireless security tab [23:06] sifr: i'm not sure if my function key for wilress ever worked in ubuntu [23:07] k [23:07] DiDiVp: yes it does, but you can also use more memory in your machine [23:07] ikehn7: from the dropdown, select WEP and then type in the key you wrote. after that press OK [23:07] there is 2 webs [23:07] bit key or paraphrase [23:07] Haris_Amin: interesting. cause that is probably the only time i have seen when the drop down doesnt show the available networks etc. [23:07] skinofstars1, I have 2gb of ram [23:07] Hi, I'm having problems with an eee pc. I maximised a window and it has maximised to a size bigger than the screen. Clicking on the window makes it jump up and down the screen so I can see the full thing, but I cannot check checkboxes in the list on the screen as if I click one, it jumps to show another part of the window, and checks that box instead! [23:08] SOrry, Ubuntu Intrepid. [23:08] DiDiVp: 64bit allows you to go beyond 4gb ram [23:08] bit pssphrase or bit key [23:08] bit passphrase i mean [23:08] skinofstars1, I maybe install ubuntu 8.04. I'm thinking about it [23:08] ikehn7: I think you use passphrase, but I'm not exactly sure [23:08] skinofstars1, I know [23:08] Haris_Amin: I am thinking the problem is beyond the network manager, its either disabled wireless (hopefully) or a driver problem , perhaps something else but nothing comes to mind atm. [23:09] ikehn7: nonono, I think you use key [23:09] ikehn7: my bad [23:09] DiDiVp: if your not really using 64bit programs then life is easier on 32. [23:09] key? [23:09] ok done [23:09] skinofstars1, but ubuntu 8.04 32 consume less [23:09] I installed apache and php, but i get undefined variable _SESSION, any particular reason why? [23:09] so wat now [23:09] Haris_Amin: let me know when its back up! [23:09] skinofstars1, are you developer? [23:09] ikehn7: yeah, try key for now and if it doesn't work, then we can try passphrase [23:09] k [23:09] DiDiVp: yes to first question, no to second [23:09] So now you should be able to connect [23:10] how [23:10] not dev [23:10] i'm average desktop user :) [23:10] how do i connect [23:10] mneptok: does it matter? I am only measuring amount of data transfer rate on virtual NIC, no private data at all === NicKD is now known as NicholasD [23:11] Hey guys, I am having an issue adding a Network Printer connected to a Vista box. When I go in the Ubuntu Printer menu, click new, select Windows Printer via SAMBA, and the browse the network, I do see the network but the printer is not there. I am wondering if there is something I am missing. My other WinXP machines can connect to the network printer and see it and I checked on Vista and the printer is shared to all. Any ideas? [23:11] life nova? [23:11] how do i connect [23:11] can I force udev to use MBR instead of GPT? [23:11] sifr: letme be more clear [23:11] ikehn7: You should have automatically connected, try using the internet [23:11] sifr: so i have it back up [23:11] k [23:11] sifr: is it some opensuse ISO file [23:11] nope [23:11] which is the best webkit browser for linux? [23:11] it did not automatically conncet [23:11] skinofstars1, alright. I'm developer java and the IDE Netbeans with Java 64 consume more memory that Java 32. The Firefox too [23:12] breta: thats binary. before uploading u need to set the mode for the transfer to be binary (ithink by typing "binary"), try it. [23:12] sifr: when i left click on the icon i see this drop down menu : "Wired Networks Auto eth0 Auto eth0, Wireless Networks devuce us ybnabaged, VPN Connections" [23:12] so wat now [23:12] DiDiVp: 64 does mean larger memory address space. why do you need 64? [23:12] <_Vi_> !who | ikehn7 [23:12] ikehn7: 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 :) [23:12] ikehn7: in the top panel of your screen, you should see an icon that looks like two monitors [23:12] ya [23:12] i know [23:13] sifr: ok so i deleted all wireless connections...now i will try to create a new one [23:13] ikehn7: left click that and make sure your wireless network is selected [23:13] but its two monitors [23:13] skinofstars1, I wanted put more 2gb of ram [23:13] it doesnt appear when i click on it [23:13] Quick question: I used Screen Resolution Tool to set up dual monitors (laptop + external), but how do I specify which one is the primary display? [23:13] Haris_Amin: before you do that [23:13] it only says wirenetwork and auto etho0 [23:13] sifr: k lissening [23:13] neither of which can be clicked on [23:13] Haris_Amin: goto System > Administration > Network [23:14] i'm trying to find a good networking tool (could be just text) with current transfer and bandwidth speeds. what's the ideal choice? [23:14] sifr: no success [23:14] DiDiVp: 32 covers up to 4gb [23:14] Ok, ikehn7, open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal) [23:14] sifr: you mean System > Administration > Network Tools ? [23:14] k [23:14] is there a way to colorize tail output in gnome terminal ? very difficult to discern the properties of apache logs sometimes [23:14] Haris_Amin: uhhh probably, i am still on hardy. :).

[23:31] Haris_Amin: i dont its only to confirm if its something sane, maybe it'd be better for yourself to confirm if it is similar to the one allocated to the other machine, thus confirm you are on the same network [23:31] so he told me to go to terminal [23:31] sifr its 169.254.6.241 [23:31] hey guys [23:31] sifr: let me check on the windows machine [23:31] Haris_Amin: that's a fake one [23:31] Haris_Amin: that sounds like a dud ip [23:32] sileni: yo [23:32] sifr: well i am on a router [23:32] i have ubuntu with gnome installed , i want to try the kde version, but i have files that i don't want to lose is there anyway to keep the underlying file system but just installing kubuntu?

[23:43] jrgp, lol [23:43] I updated my intrepid 8.10 today via the update utility within gnome. when it finished, i restarted the server as directed and it would not boot up on the new kernel. I believe it is related to the nvidia .177 hardware driver. There are other posts in the forums but no one has found a solution. Are there any suggestions available I could try? [23:43] sileni: that and space between pci/pcie/ and agp cards is a must .. [23:44] halo [23:44] skino? [23:44] i usb harddisk is listed in lsusb, but not int fdisk -l, how to fix?

[23:56] bcm4328 [23:56] ikehn7: yeah, it's pretty common [23:56] by hp company [23:56] how can i get hibernate to work?

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - see also !automate [23:57] whyameye: One thing that appears to be in common with other posts within the forums are the graphics drivers. I can still boot up in the previous kernel by manually selecting it via the esc key within GRUB. [23:57] ikehn7: bcm4328 is the important bit [23:57] ikehn7: have you searched the ubuntu forums yet? [23:57] ikehn7: or the ubuntu wiki [23:57] my syslog if full of "NetworkManager: nm_dbus_init(): nm_dbus_init() could not get the system bus.

[23:58] how can i get hibernate to work? [23:58] it told me to make sure its on [23:58] and it was on already [23:59] but the instruction just made me spin in a circle [23:59] Solet: no, i do not have the package hibernation installed. normal hibernation comes as part of gnome-power-management [23:59] stevewd: are you using proprietary graphics drivers and did you install them with the hardware manager or some other way? [23:59] stevewd: also are you telling me your computer is fine if you boot with the previous kernel? [23:59] How can I enable Ports 5190 - 5199 TCP ?
