[00:00] ikehn7: i'm guessing you are using intrepid [00:00] ikehn7: how so? [00:00] How many gb i should put on ubuntu paration? [00:01] RadSurfer2: you can use one of the iptables gui's but I imagine there is a .conf somewhere. [00:01] Vi how many gb u use for your ubuntu? === osxdude_ is now known as osxdude [00:01] if there a howto to do that? [00:01] ? [00:01] I am using the .177 drivers that are part of the Ubuntu distribution. I have not compiled my own NVidia drivers. Yes the old Linux kernel is fine. The new kernel that isn't working is 2.6.27.11.13. After upgrading to 2.6.27.11.14 the server will not work. [00:01] wat do u mean how so [00:01] <_Vi_> RadSurfer2: usually that is done through your router's web interface... like http://192.168.0.1 or what not... [00:01] RadSurfer2: google [00:01] pici: wat do u mean [00:01] its just too complicated for me [00:01] No simple SeLinux interface, eh? [00:01] ikehn7: what confused you about the documentation [00:02] skinofstars1: the package is 'hibernate' not 'hibernation' [00:02] idigital: All of it, thats all I run on this computer. [00:02] <_Vi_> idigital: I usually give Ubuntu 5 or 10 gigs [00:02] ikehn7: ok [00:02] RadSurfer2: sorry I was misunderstanding you. [00:02] whyameye: sorry, I entered my response above without your handle [00:02] Solet: sorry, no i do not have that [00:02] kk [00:02] 177 [00:02] * Solet keeps searching [00:02] oh my buntu is so complicated [00:02] Solet: you should't need it === osxdude is now known as osxdude|l [00:02] How can i get hibernate to work? [00:02] I want Ubuntu to allow 5190-5199 TCP ports [00:03] How wold I do this please [00:03] stevewd: I can't say what will work, but I can say what I would try, which is to uninstall and reinstall the graphics driver. It probably needs to build its own module specific for the kernel which happens automagically. I don't know this but it is my guess. Somehow it didn't happen. [00:03] whyameye: one other thing, I am using the "recommended" drivers the hardware drivers program suggests. [00:03] <_Vi_> ikehn7: there are way more complicated distros than Ubuntu... Ubuntu is the easiest and most supported by far. [00:03] ikehn7: We cant help you if you dont tell us whats wrong [00:03] karel_: system>preferences>powermanagement [00:03] idigital, lokk here: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html [00:03] RadSurfer2: Those ports are not blocked by default [00:03] RadSurfer2: No ports are [00:03] the problem is icant log on to my wireless internet [00:03] ok. next problem. I want to enable port 5200 UDP [00:03] Pici: ikehn7 is having problems making a broadcom driver work [00:03] <_Vi_> RadSurfer2: usually that is done through your router's web interface... like http://192.168.0.1 or what not... [00:03] even after activation of driver [00:04] and correct network connection config [00:04] skinofstars1: He says the doc is confusing, what part [00:04] whyameye: that makes sense. I will try to go into safe mode (recovery mode) of the updated kernel and change it. Do you have a recommended graphics driver I should use? [00:04] so if I had an error (which I'm going to guess is common) on the update today... do I need to do anything? or is it self recovering? it said something about leaving a component unconfigured... [00:04] wait for wireless atat is it web 128 or web paraphrase [00:04] or passphrase [00:04] Pici: to be honest, the wifi docs do seem to go round in circles :( [00:05] stevewd: I was using the same one you were. I then built my own which was a stupid thing to do. I'd go with the same one you were already using. [00:05] ikehn7: you just need to try them [00:05] try them? [00:05] someow that does not make Ubuntu seem very secure. [00:05] skinofstars1: I already did that, but when hibernate / sleep is being processed my system hangs with a black screen [00:05] ^somehow [00:05] Pici: and there isn't even an obvious page for intrepid [00:05] lol [00:05] RadSurfer2: Nothing is listening on the ports by default either [00:05] <_Vi_> RadSurfer2: Ubuntu is like a house with NO windows or doors, why would it need more defence? [00:06] lol [00:06] oh myT_______________T [00:06] ikehn7: ok. you have your broadcom drivers enabled. you now need to look at the computers in the top right [00:06] whyameye: I will see if I can get into the recovery mode. Someone in the forums, after the update, was unable to get into any of his versions within GRUB. This included the recovery mode. I have learned my lesson, NEVER, update the computer on the day of issue. [00:06] they are black with oj triangle [00:06] RadSurfer2: You can make exceptions using one of the iptable gui's. You can open a port on your router [00:07] once broadcom is enabled they should come to life. maybe you need to log out and back in or something [00:07] whyameye: Do you know of place on the Ubuntu's website that announces the freakin updates? [00:07] W: GPG error: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 58403026387EE263 [00:07] oh ill try that [00:07] HALP [00:07] /quit [00:07] stevewd: why is your kernel 2.6.27-11-14 and mine is kernel 2.6.27-11-generic? [00:08] stevewd: I don't know where the updates are announced and I've never hesitated to update my machine. I'm sorry about the problem you are having. Frustrating I know. [00:08] I have a program that steals mouse and keyboard input somehow I'm able to press ctrl alt F4 to goto a terminal. How can I kill the app that hangs or restart the gui? [00:08] so, when I boot into ubuntu hardy on my laptop, it brings me straight to text line and ctrl+alt+f7 does not bring up my gui, it says "kinit trying to resume from /dev/disk/by-uuiod..." [00:08] anybody know how to get gnome to load [00:08] it is installed [00:08] whyameye: hmmm, that is a good question. I am going by the history in the Synaptic log. [00:09] whyameye: I will double check the version upon rebooting to double-verify. [00:09] syzygy: have you had gnome working before? [00:09] yes [00:09] ctrl+alt+f12 will take me to command line? once I am in command line how can I run firefox? [00:09] <_Vi_> firefox & [00:09] gmap: type in "firefox" and hit return [00:09] gmap: firefox [00:09] gmap: ./firefox [00:09] whyameye: do you know of an uninstall for these freakin updates? [00:09] easy, eh [00:09] It won't work. [00:09] skinofstars1: I pressed ctrl+alt+f1 to do some commands, and I could not get back [00:09] gmap: firefox [00:09] I can still login [00:09] syzygy: ctrl-alt-f7 [00:09] werdnum: what won't? [00:10] so I'll take that as a no... [00:10] and browse folders, but no gui [00:10] <_Vi_> put a '&' at the end of firefox so it runs in background 'firefox &' [00:10] typing 'firefox' in a terminal without an attached screen. [00:10] u know wats funny [00:10] werdnum: doesn't work [00:10] skinofstars1: Thanks for helping, I can only type quite slowly with my left hand only. (Recently broke my right arm) [00:10] everytime i load ubuntu [00:10] syzygy: ya, know what you mean [00:10] werdan7: already said that [00:10] stevewd: Ok. I just looked at the log and I am running 2.6.27.9.14 too. [00:10] or alt-f7 [00:10] !helpersnack | skinofstars1 [00:10] skinofstars1: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [00:10] in gnome i had the option extract here when i right clicked a rar file. What must i do to have the same option in kde? [00:10] Pici: no worries [00:10] i have to touch the touch botton part to get it to load [00:10] werdnum: attached X screen? No, that won't work, true [00:10] stevewd: I can tell you how to consistently boot your older kernel... [00:11] Pici: haha, this is my first time on irc and i already get a cookie! [00:11] I tried reconfiguring xorg too... [00:11] did not work [00:11] how can I kill an app by name from terminal? [00:11] Does anyone know if i need "swap partition" [00:11] Stef1: pkill [00:11] hey guys do u know why it takes such a long time to load ubuntu [00:11] Anyone use XBMC? [00:11] whyameye: Goodie. At least I know we are on the same platform. I can default a different kernel within GRUB if I am correct, right? [00:11] idigital: some say yes, some say no [00:11] ikehn7: configure your bios and your GRUB [00:11] idigital: I use a swap partition, because I've done so for about 15 years and old habits die hard [00:11] how [00:12] stevewd: yes you can. also maybe you can force an order version with Package -> force version if you can run synaptic. [00:12] hello everyone [00:12] gordonjcp, ohw is swap not needed anymore then? [00:12] troubles with a set of usb speakers === ango is now known as Guest2376 [00:12] oh shoot i think it wokrs [00:12] yes [00:12] yes [00:12] yes [00:12] ikehn7: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:12] jarco: well, memory is cheap ;-) [00:12] can anyone help me mount my iPod === Guest2376 is now known as skinnymg1 [00:13] it was automounting but I tried to change the volume name and messed something up [00:13] thanke you [00:13] ah lol gordonjcp i just have 2gig and i like to keep my 4 gig swap in place :d [00:13] jarco: I can buy a DIMM with literally a million times as much RAM as my first home computer, for around 1/10th the price [00:13] i've already checked /etc/fstab === rip_ is now known as veratyr9 [00:13] whyameye: cool. I have synaptic up now. Let me check real quick. Thanks. [00:13] ikehn7: success! [00:13] and no entries in there [00:13] jarco: that's in 20-odd years [00:13] jarco: it's just *crazy* [00:13] gordonjcp do u put in back off of ext3? [00:13] it was mounting to /media/BRIAN'S IPO [00:13] idigital: I don't understand [00:13] hehe gordonjcp in fact u are right. I never ever seen my swap being used :p [00:14] can anyone help me out with getting a set of usb speakers setup :) [00:14] Swap: 2931852k total, 0k used, 2931852k free, 872580k cached [00:14] gordonjcp like this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/images/partitioning6.png or like http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/images/partitioning7.png that?

[00:14] idigital: second one [00:14] is this normal for only kde running and 3 or 4 applications? [00:14] idigital: that way you can blow away your OS but keep your homedir [00:14] anyone know where I can find mf2t? [00:14] does anyone know how to make ubuntu load faster? [00:15] ikehn7: wait for jaunty for the fast boot [00:15] in bios? [00:15] ikehn7: set up suspend like you would for a laptop? [00:15] has anyone else had a problem with the kernel upgrade? [00:15] ok.. I'll leave the room alone [00:15] wats suspend [00:15] i'm stuck at "configuring linux-image-2.7.27-11-generic" [00:15] is that in bios? [00:15] the iPod is recognized in lsusb [00:16] ikehn7: check out the videos on the fedora 10sec boot and then just spend the next few months wishing life was really like that [00:16] how to install stable kde4.2? All the instructions I find are for nightly builds [00:16] whyameye: hmmmm. I cannot find the force? [00:16] ikehn7: suspend is in the same menu as logout and shutdown [00:16] Ubuntu boots pretty quickly anyway [00:16] at least on my machine [00:16] ikehn7: look at what programs it loads on startup and remove some of them form the scripts at the start [00:16] typically less than a minute or so from cold [00:16] morning all :) [00:17] ikehn7: what does it load on startup? [00:17] Hm. There's lspci and there's lsusb. Is there something like lsisa (aside from lshw). I can't see an ISA based soundcard on a particular box with the usual tools [00:17] takes an age to boot on mine :( [00:17] so how exactly does "wubi" work? [00:17] genii: not as far as I know, typically ISA cards don't identify themselves in the way that PCI cards do [00:17] wat [00:17] that sucks [00:17] stevewd: under the "Package" menu. It will be grey out unless 1) you have a package already selected and 2) there is more than one version of the package available. [00:17] xp loads faster [00:17] then [00:17] genii: there might be some sort of PNP tools [00:17] ikehn7: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:17] please can anyone help me setup a pair of usb speakers in ubuntu [00:17] ikehn7: what's xp? [00:17] skinofstars1: I think that is the problem; however, I cannot connect to the local mirrors to update or dl anything [00:17] robinhood2008: Mounts a loopback ext3 partition on your NTFS drive [00:18] windows xp [00:18] ikehn7: oh, never used it [00:18] ? [00:18] skinofstars1: not sure why, but cannot connect [00:18] is it safe? [00:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/111069/ is this normal memory usage for kde with compiz and only a few applications open? [00:18] gordonjcp: I sort of thought so :/ [00:18] ikehn7: go to system>preferences>sessions to stop any needless tasks slowing your boot [00:18] XP=ignorance [00:18] genii: what's the card? [00:18] k [00:18] robinhood2008: is what safe? [00:18] robinhood2008: In what aspect? Safe as in safe for the NTFS drive, or safe for the EXT3 partition? [00:18] whyameye: I don't know what package to choose the reflects the previous kernel version. [00:19] gordonjcp thx , so ubuntu [ext 3] mounted as none and another [ext 3] partition mounted as /home and another one is mounted as [swap] [00:19] like what i was shown on the picture. So how many one Gb on the first partation (none)? 2nd partation (/home)? 3rd partation (swap)? [00:19] ikehn7: it takes less than a minute or so for my PC to boot, I can live with that every couple of weeks ;-) [00:19] but there is no needless thing === ding is now known as viezerd [00:19] syzygy: XP has it's advantages, like.. erm.. err [00:19] W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY C5E6A5ED249AD24C [00:19] ikehn7: no, first one mounted as / [00:19] what i mean is, it won't destroy my Windows Vista machine... correct? [00:19] ??? there a way to fix that? [00:19] oh maybe its because i have xp on there still [00:19] skinofstars1, XP has the advantage of running windows programs [00:19] lol [00:19] ikehn7: what are you talking about? [00:19] tsrk: wine [00:19] robinhood2008: Not intentionally, if that is what you are asking. There might be a few bugs, but it does work. Has been working for me since hardy :) [00:19] can i dl wine [00:20] I am running ableton live on linux [00:20] hi [00:20] where do i get wine [00:20] syzygy, wine isn't very good from my experiences [00:20] repos [00:20] ikehn7: sudo aptitude install wine [00:20] ikehn7: ask google [00:20] sudo apt-get install wine [00:20] I am also ruinning GTA III San Andreas [00:20] how am i going to resolve issue with swap files../ [00:20] oh [00:20] on wine [00:20] gordonjcp did u get my msg/question [00:20] gordonjcp: Soundcard. I think CS4236 or similar but can't tell for sure without yanking out now and looking up the chips or so [00:20] idigital: sorry, first partition as /, second as /home [00:20] is the current wine in the repos? [00:20] ikehn7: if you have ubunut it probably came with it [00:20] idigital: I mistabbed [00:20] ruben23: whats your swap file issue? [00:20] i have swp file on my hosts [00:20] genii: hmm - you could see what modules are loaded maybe? [00:20] skinofstars1: Not current. But wine is in the repos. For current, you need to add the wine repos [00:20] i edit hosts... [00:20] Actually, I'm more paranoid about the fact that I have approximately 24 GB of hard drive space to work with, and Wubi wants 8 GB in order for Ubuntu to work comfortably. [00:21] gordonjcp how about the swap (/swap) [00:21] stevewd: linux-restricted-modules-generic probably. [00:21] gordonjcp how about the size of each one? [00:21] robinhood2008: dualboot it [00:21] then suddenly ssh stop wprking..so when i try to edit hosts again it says swap fiel.. [00:21] My nvidia driver will not do sli or detect my monitor properly [00:21] really so i dont have to dl? [00:21] wine? [00:21] robinhood2008: I have tons of dev headers, and programming things insatlled on my instalation, and it has yet to cross the 10 gb mark [00:21] syzygy: is GTA running ok in wine? you're not using cageeda or whatever it's called? [00:21] stevewd: look at your history. Aren't the names there? [00:21] gordonjcp can i pm u ? [00:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/111069/ is this normal memory usage for kde with compiz and only a few applications open? [00:21] anyone have a clue as to what I need to do. [00:22] skinofstars1: I tried cedega, but it costs money...wine runs it fine, however...my comp overheats a lot because it was built poorly [00:22] ikehn: where possible you should always add software through the repos [00:22] add to that the fact that the computer i'm planning to run it on is not my own... [00:22] gordonjcp: Thats the catch22. Since it doesn't load any, I need to find out card make to know what module.... etc etc. No matter, I'll just yank it out and look it up at some point then. Just thought might be some ISA synonym for lspci or so [00:22] ikehn7: sudo aptitude install wine <= will download, and configure things for you (somewhat) [00:22] couldnt find package wine [00:22] genii: yeah [00:22] whyameye: The names of about 12 or so updates are there [00:22] its says it cant find wine [00:22] skinofstars1: I think if I can resolve the local repo connection I can install gdm, but I am not sure how to do that/why it no longer works [00:23] when I run firefox in command line it says Error: No display specified. How can I correct this? [00:23] stevewd: but you said everything works with the previous kernel, so roll back the kernel only. [00:23] gordon first partation should have 4gb for / and ext and as primary and not logic? [00:23] ikehn7: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [00:23] gmap: You are trying to run firefox from terminal? That will never work [00:23] gordonjcp first partation should have 4gb for / and ext and as primary and not logic? [00:23] k thank you [00:23] syzygy: not sure either. but it's the best i can come up with [00:23] shall i explain my situation? [00:23] webcamwonder how can I run it without desktop? [00:23] skinofstars1: thanks, I will keep looking [00:24] gmap: You can't run any GUI application without a GUI. Look for a textbased browser like lynx [00:24] ikehn7: look for linux alternatives before just installing windows apps [00:24] It does work fine with the other version. I've done that by pressing "esc" within GRUB at first boot up. Then manually move to the previous installation. However, with 12 or or so different updates listed in the history, shouldn't they all get rolled back? [00:24] When I use "apt-get upgrade" I get "The following packages have been kept back: [00:24] linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic [00:24] linux-restricted-modules-generic [00:24] ". What's that mean and how can I install those? [00:24] tsrk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:24] Oops, sorry, copy + paste from terminal :S [00:24] whyameye: see previous entry. Forgot your handle agaon [00:25] tsrk: upgrade does a safe-upgrade, it won't install "potientially" unsafe upgrades [00:25] webcamwonder I am trying to run firefox on startup without having to load the entire desktop [00:25] WebcamWonder, ok, how can I do an "unsafe" upgrade? [00:25] anyone know where I can find mf2t? [00:25] tsrk: sudo aptitude dist-upgrade [00:25] tsrk: use 'apt-get dist-upgrade' or 'aptitude full-upgrade' [00:25] stevewd: I think you are fine just rolling back the kernel. [00:25] WebcamWonder, jtaji, thank you [00:26] like wat would i get instead of starcraft [00:26] why would i look for linux stuff first [00:26] fuck [00:26] Okay. I must say that I do like the "recovery mode" in xp and vista versus that. [00:26] wait do i need to find ubuntu only or linux is fine [00:26] life sucks [00:26] !ohmy [00:26] theguruofgod: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[00:26] whyameye: with my luck the baby will blow up by rolling back and then I will be out of luck entirely [00:26] kinda [00:26] do i need wine [00:26] for that [00:27] ikehn7: only for windows programs that are supported [00:27] ikehn7: if you want a specific game then wine. but for normal apps you should llok at open software, eg, open office not MS office, gimp not photoshop [00:27] oh [00:27] but gimp is lacking though [00:27] ikehn7: how? [00:27] hello, I see a vertical green line in all my DivX MPEG-4 Version 5 movie files, I believe it due to a wrong codec. What's the command for re-installing that codec, if there is any? [00:27] is windows app detrimental to buntu [00:27] stevewd: I don't think synaptic is that stupid. I guess I can't guarentee anything but in my mind it seems like booting with the previous kernel is doing exactly the same thing except with synaptic you are removing the other kernel entirely. [00:27] ikehn7: it save to more formats [00:27] ikehn7: how is gimp lacking? i love that app! [00:27] ikehn7: and it has as many options [00:27] aye [00:28] me too [00:28] its ok [00:28] I know people who forge birth certificate with it [00:28] it's more than okay [00:28] haha [00:28] photoshop is a bit more efficient [00:28] how?

[00:28] in terms of brushes [00:28] webcamwonder, I am trying to build a kiosk system that runs apache and firefox. I do not want user interaction with the desktop. [00:28] what makes it better?

Just trying to figure out where it stores the settings you add via the command line [00:31] what's the name of the lamp package in ubuntu? [00:31] grandy: man ufw [00:31] WebcamWonder: I've read it, didn't notice that info... [00:31] is there an apt-get/aptitude command that reinstalls an installed package (i.e. uninstalls and then installs)? [00:31] what's the command to uninstall the divx video codec? [00:31] Does anyone have experience with the Ubuntu IPTables firewall manager "firestarter" ? [00:31] anyone, anyone? [00:32] what is the name of the lamp package in ubuntu? [00:32] apt-get --remove [00:32] "linux apache mysql php" ? [00:32] grandy: Last paragraph before the See Also section [00:32] you can pm if you have the answer.....i am trying to run Portal by valve...steam works fine but when launch portal my PC restarts [00:32] !lamp [00:32] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [00:32] Firestarter, Well James_A, I tried that program to share my internets. But it failed miserably. [00:32] this is under wine [00:33] WebcamWonder: hmm I just added a rule to allow port 3000 yet there is no mention of port 3000 in /etc/ufw/sysctcl.conf [00:33] subinacls: does that command works too for uninstalling a video codec? (Divx)? [00:34] if you installed divx by the way apt-get [00:34] did you complie from source [00:34] is there any virtual machine with graphic card support? [00:34] or grab it from some package manager [00:34] grandy: /var/lib/ufw/user.rules, please read the entire man page [00:35] How do you toggle the mouse wheel in ubuntu? [00:35] WebcamWonder: ahhh ... there they are! Thanks much... I didn't realize that command line rules were considered "user rules" ... i have read the man page a few times... sometimes they are a bit confusing [00:36] grandy: :).. No problems [00:36] I have a x64 computer and 4 gb of ram how any gb do i need for the swapp partation?? [00:36] W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY C5E6A5ED249AD24C [00:36] idigital, i have 4gb as well. i set up 2gb for swap, but never a single kb gets used [00:36] gbear14275: We don't support unofficial repositories [00:36] what's currently the latest kernel for Hardy? [00:36] idigital, i would go with 1 g sawp [00:36] idigital, so i'd put either 2gb or 1gb [00:36] swap [00:36] is it a 2.6.22 or 2.6.24? [00:36] bthornton: .23 [00:36] subinacls: I have this green line in every divx video file I have. I think I reinstalled divx and the same problem persisted [00:37] i run 512 for swap [00:37] bthornton: With proposed updates off, that is [00:37] subinacls: what else can be done? [00:37] WebcamWonder: thats great... but unfortunately this was an ubuntu official update that errored out... I now get that when I hit "check" [00:37] WebcamWonder: since you seem to know a lot about ufw, suppose I'm setting up a few servers, would I just edit user.rules accordingly for each one? Or would you recommend some other approach? [00:37] also speeds depends on partitions [00:37] r/w head closer to center of disk would have better preformance then having it on part3 or so on [00:38] WebcamWonder: I'm wondering if it might make more sense to define applications first, seems optional but might make the config more clear [00:38] WebcamWonder: any idea how 2.6.24-23 is showing up in synaptic? [00:39] subinacls: can you tell me how to uninstall the divx? maybe if vlc does not find it, it downloads it automatically [00:39] How do you toggle the mouse wheel in ubuntu? [00:39] as for the divx [00:39] you can try to get another codec [00:39] WebcamWonder: so any ideas? This is all official releases i'm trying to update [00:40] wolter 1024 mb = 1gb or should i put 1.1gb? [00:40] gbear14275: sudo aptitude update ? see if it flushes out [00:40] idigital: 1Gib [00:40] anyone?? [00:40] ah [00:40] subinacls: like hi [00:41] which* [00:41] grandy: Sure you can. But if you have servers, I would say go for a firewall like iptables. That is a steep learning curve, but the benefits are immense [00:41] #ircwarez [00:41] does it matter if the swap is type of partaition as primary or logic? [00:41] hi all [00:41] mp4 and other video audio codec's [00:41] idigital: Nope [00:41] avi [00:41] maybe swf player [00:41] grandy: But, yeah you can directly modify the rules, ufw should have no problems as long as you enter them correctly (in the correct format/syntax that is) [00:42] I've got a package that won't remove, but I need to reinstall it. Any ideas how to do that? [00:42] WebcamWonder:http://paste.ubuntu.com/111076/ [00:42] WebcamWonder: might I ask for a few of the reasons you'd recommend iptables? ufw is mainly just to get *some* security, but I will take the time to learn iptables if it will help [00:42] what usb wireless draft G or N for laptop is known to work out of the box in ubuntu?

You can fine tune, and fine grain each and everything. But if you are going more for the, these are the list of ports that need to be open, ufw should serve you just fine [00:43] but I dont know what brand is suported in ubuntu [00:44] anyone any idea? [00:44] gbear14275: Could you pastebin your sources as well? [00:44] WebcamWonder: ahh ok... thanks for the advice. At present my needs are fairly minimal but I think I'll read a few tutorials on iptables and see how it goes too... [00:44] grandy: No problems [00:44] WebcamWonder: yeah one sec [00:47] just re installed windoze on a dual boot sys ... now windoze takes over the boot process and i can't get to ubuntu. help?

[00:47] WebcamWonder: just got a package update notice.. going to try installing them and seeing if that resolves it [00:47] what package provides dos2unix? [00:48] !google dos2unix [00:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about google dos2unix === flaco_ is now known as flacom [00:48] gbear14275: It shouldn't matter. What is likely happening is that one or more of the repos isn't able to update. You should manually iterate over your sources to see which one is dead [00:48] I have a MS 2000 laser mouse and the scrolling is very slow.

[00:51] oh cool...how do i use that paste thingie? [00:51] is it possible to edit a.odt file in vim? [00:52] gbear14275: Well, go through your sources, and try to disable launchpad repos that seem doubtful, and then re-upgrade [00:52] ok [00:52] will try that [00:52] syzygy: Highly doubt that. vim is a text editor at its best, it shouldn;t be able to read compressed/formatted files like odt, unless of some plugins [00:53] WebcamWonder: dern, okay [00:53] syzygy: Yes. [00:53] WebcamWonder: vim can read gzip just fine. The issue would be the fact that it's got multiple files in it. [00:53] oh? how do you go about reading it?

And two: is the standard location for usb /media/something... or is it /dev/sda? [00:58] Does anyone in here know how to use vbox? [00:58] cr4z3d: Oh, you mean the actual extended partition, not the logical partitions inside it? I think it'll automatically resize the extended partition to fit the partitions inside it.

[01:04] exodus_ms: no dice... just see's it as a ctrl+c [01:04] hvgotcodes: I don't think so. As far as I know, kernel upgrades require actual restarts. [01:05] anyone know what root means?

[01:06] WebcamWonder: yes, gnome terminal [01:06] sudo su [01:06] gbear14275: Edit -> Copy? :) [01:06] enter password for your user [01:06] sudo su is a good command [01:06] and you then are root [01:06] rww: that didn't do it -- it syas the nvidia kernel modue hass version 177.82 but the driver component has 180.22 [01:06] gbear14275: I'm not sure what you're asking. gnome-terminal uses Ctrl-Shift-C instead of Ctrl-C, if that's what you mean. [01:06] sudo su == root [01:06] gksu is the GUI version of god [01:07] anyone? [01:07] WebcamWonder: but its the details portion of the changes applied window from the update manager.

[01:11] sorry wrong room [01:11] hvgotcodes: NVidia drivers are supported by Ubuntu's restricted driver manager. I'd recommend removing whatever you installed manually from nvidia's installer, and using System > Administration > Hardware Drivers instead. [01:11] rww how do i do that [01:11] hvgotcodes, do you have the latest version of Ubuntu with updates? [01:11] nobody's a mount guru huh? [01:11] uncle_ben: what are you using gmail, etc.. [01:12] I get this error: I have no libopenal.so.0 how do I fix that error? i'm on ubuntu studio 64 bit [01:12] heh, in bed i am [01:12] somewhere near the bottom of the man [01:12] exodus_ms: yes, gmail [01:12] virianflux: yes i do - i wanted the newest nvidia drivers because of supposed kde4 performance enhancements [01:12] uncle_ben: can you check your email on line, maybe it's on gmails side [01:12] hvgotcodes, so you you are using kubuntu? [01:12] Frijolie: Regarding your old question... There is a gnome-volume-manager, that handles the auto mounting [01:12] virianflux: no regular ubuntu [01:12] exodus_ms: yeah, i can log in with firefox and send from there, but not through evolution all of a sudden [01:13] hvgotcodes, so you are using gnome as your window manager? [01:13] WebcamWonder, isn't there supposed to be an entry in fstab for USB devices? [01:13] Frijolie: not usually, no [01:13] virianflux: for now [01:13] Frijolie: Not unless you put it manually in there [01:14] I am having a problem with Skype. Should I run Skype through alsa-oss? [01:14] hvgotcodes, so its 8.10? [01:14] rww: the latest version in the restricted driver manager is still a few versions behind [01:14] the alsa wrapper? [01:14] uncle_ben: edit->preferences->mail accounts, select account and click edit === donna is now known as Guest41576 [01:14] virianflux: yes intrepid and up to date, including hte kernel upgrade released today [01:14] exodus_ms: ok...what info did you want [01:14] hvgotcodes: I believe you had the same case as me the first time around. You have to blacklist the nvidia, and nv modules [01:14] hvgotcodes: But get the drivers from the repos, if they work fine for you [01:14] hvgotcodes: that's the latest version supported by Ubuntu. You can upgrade past that manually, I guess, but I can't be much help with it :/ [01:15] uncle_ben: check the Receiving Email and Sending Email tabs, see if anything as changed since you last configured it [01:15] how can i load ubuntu without having to physically touch it everytime? [01:15] hvgotcodes, did you manage to get up the restricted driver manager? [01:15] WebcamWonder: for kde4.2 it seems a bit sluggish -- i wanted to try the latest drivers to see if it worked better [01:15] ikehn7, do you mean automatic login? [01:15] ikehn7: What do you mean physically touch it everytime? [01:15] virianflux -- yes i uninstalled the unsupported driver and am back to normal [01:15] like u knkow the hp laptop [01:16] how it has that touchscreen part [01:16] hvgotcodes: Have you read this?

[01:17] anyone have an idea? [01:17] virianflux: thanx -- if it breaks everything im sure ill be back [01:17] WebcamWonder, no I want it to mount [01:17] do i need virus scanner for ubuntu? [01:17] ikehn7: Nope [01:17] hello, I am trying to get wireless to work on my sister's computer, it is a very strange problem [01:17] Frijolie: And the automount doesn't mount it? [01:17] WebcamWonder, it was mounting before and I tried to change the volume name and messed it up I think [01:17] uncle_ben: you have this for Sending Email options: Server=smtp.gmail.com (check mark next to Server requires autho SSL encryption PLAIN Authentication [01:17] !virus | ikehn7 [01:17] ikehn7: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [01:17] Frijolie: Ahh. Have you tried moutning it manually? [01:18] WebcamWonder, no, I don't know how to do that [01:18] !mount | Frijolie [01:18] Frijolie: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QtParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [01:18] I have ov51x-jpeg compiled and running but my eyetoy webcam isn't showing as loaded in skype or cheese, any thoughts? [01:18] thanks [01:18] exodus_ms: yes, i already have those settings...keep in mind this has been working all along...it's just now i can't connect to the server...it times out...it's not even an authentication failure...no error codes [01:18] All was hunky dory in 8.04, but when I go to 8.10 (first by update, second time I did a fresh install) network manager connects to my network automatically, stays connected for a few minutes, and then disconnects unable to reconnect [01:18] Frijolie: Arghh, useless info. Hold up [01:19] Frijolie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [01:19] Is it possible for me to stop a user changing any preferences/editing their menu bars? [01:19] Frijolie: The easiest would be, sudo mount [01:19] is there a way of auto starting services (e.g. apache) upon ubuntu startup? [01:19] Can anyone help me with port forwarding? I'm trying to get apache to work so that my server can be viewed from my external IP - I've forwarded the ports as described on portforward.com, but going to my IP in my browser just sends me to my modem's home page. Help? [01:19] Mood, yes [01:20] Mood: Prefs -> Sessions, Adm -> Services [01:20] uncle_ben: It's possible that your Internet Service Provider started blocking SMTP requests. Several of them do that, unfortunately. [01:20] I need to reinstall gdm, but I cannot connect to the internet to dl, and I do not have a live cd...can I mount a usb key with the package and install from terminal (sicne I have no gui)? [01:20] stupid gnome [01:20] rww: why would they do that? they think i'm a spammer? [01:20] syzygy: The package list for ubuntu-desktop is quite big. It is very difficult to manually hunt down every package [01:20] syzygy: good scrabble word :) [01:20] * syzygy sighs [01:21] WebcamWonder: I'm using Xubuntu... I don't have Prefs [01:21] WebcamWonder, how do you find the ""? [01:21] why does it say unknown id:apt-get when i try to install something [01:21] Frijolie: sudo fdisk -l [01:21] which file has the "upon startup" services? [01:21] syzygy, I think it's do-able [01:21] syzygy: Do you have a USB large enough to hold the entire image itself? [01:21] i'd like to edit the auto startup services manually (manual configuration via file) [01:22] 2g [01:22] WebcamWonder, that'd be l33t but isn't that overkill? [01:22] uncle_ben: I have no idea why, it's just something they do. [01:22] Hello [01:22] WebcamWonder, alright, I plug it in and get error message "mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /)" [01:22] can i upgrade from debian etch to ubuntu? [01:22] syzygy, you should be able to use apt-get if you have the debs [01:23] virianflux: I don't know of an attempt by anyone to consolidate all the packages required to install ubuntu-desktop from an alternative/server install. If you do, I would be happy to learn of something new [01:23] rww: that makes no send...why would they block someone from sending e-mail? unless it's because i'm trying to connect multiple times with different gmail accounts and they think i'm spamming [01:23] WebcamWonder, also "DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." [01:23] virianflux: He doesn't have an internet connection :) [01:23] I have an ATI 4870x2, and it's running much hotter in Ubuntu than Windows? Anybody knows the reason / a fix ? [01:23] Frijolie: Yeah, that would be nautilus failing to mount it. Hold on [01:23] uncle_ben: If your hostname is accurate, you're connecting using RCN. It wouldn't be the first time they've done it: http://www.google.com/search?q=SMTP+RCN [01:23] virianflux: so just dl them on this computer, onto usb, and run install as a normal command? or should I move them somewhere? [01:23] Frijolie: Try manually mounting it [01:23] uncle_ben: Server: smtp.gmail.com:587 try t [01:24] syzygy, that would work if you can use another net connection, yes [01:24] syzygy, so you only have the alternate install? === NJ is now known as msg [01:24] NJ: i did try that port...still no go... rww: yeah, i'm really getting sick of rcn...i'll give them a call [01:25] I used to have an option on my older machine ( "Swap Center/LFE" ), can't find it anymore on my new machine, anybody knows how to get it to appear ? [01:25] can someone give me a quick BASH for loop to rename files incrementing each file to scannedphoto-XXXX.jpg? === msg is now known as exodus_ms [01:25] virianflux: ? I am not sure what you mean, I am runnign debian on a separate comp with a gui, my laptop has all of my data on it and lost gdm, and anm internet connection. No live cd... [01:25] virianflux: if that is what you mean by alternate install, not sure...but I still need to find the packages [01:26] WebcamWonder, http://paste.ubuntu.com/111083/ [01:26] syzygy, do you have a usb stick or CD to burn to? [01:26] uncle_ben: I don't know try changing the server to smtp.googlemail.com [01:26] virianflux: just usb [01:26] !clone [01:26] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [01:26] Frijolie: 40 gig iPod? [01:27] exodus_ms: yeah, that's a thought...i'll try that...probably won't work either...but thanks for trying to help [01:27] syzygy, I'm sure there is a way [01:27] WebcamWonder, yes [01:27] Can anyone help me get apache to work so that I (and others) can view my pages from an external IP? Right now it works so that I can view it from http;//localhost, but not my IP address. I've forwarded the ports in both my modem and router interfaces, but when I go to my external IP it just redirects me to my modem interface. help [01:27] uncle_ben: no problem, sorry I couldn't help more, only suggestion I have would be to try imap now that gmail supports it [01:28] I need some help i have a desktop pc thats is old and it is running hardy right now and i went out a bought a wifi card for it but i dont get any internet how do you set up the wifi plz help [01:28] Frijolie: Where did you tell ubuntu to change the mount points for your iPod? (If you did that)? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [01:28] syzygy, what happend to the ubuntu desktop? [01:28] WebcamWonder, in nautilus I changed the volume name to /media/iPod [01:28] exodus_ms: Gmail's instructions for IMAP include setting up SMTP, so I don't think that'd help =/ [01:28] exodus_ms: i don't know anything about imap...is that an smtp alternative? [01:28] virianflux: it's still there, but I lsot my gui [01:28] WebcamWonder, previously it was /media/BRIAN'S IPO [01:28] syzygy, how is it lost? [01:29] Frijolie: Ahh, so you renamed the directory itself? [01:29] I need some help i have a desktop pc thats is old and it is running hardy right now and i went out a bought a wifi card for it but i dont get any internet how do you set up the wifi plz help [01:29] one prob with the startup of ubuntu [01:29] virianflux: I can see all the folders in terminal but I cannot get back to it, and sudo apt-get install gdm says gnome is missing [01:29] WebcamWonder, yes. i think that's what messed it up [01:29] !repeat | yoyit2 [01:29] yoyit2: 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 [01:29] !wireless | yoyit2 [01:29] yoyit2: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:29] virianflux: I cannot fetch packages, internet search reveals I need cd to install select packages w/o internet [01:30] Frijolie: You can try manually mounting that. I have no clue how to solve this as a long-term problem, not much of a mount expert :) [01:30] once when i booted up..when ubuntu loads...the screen goes blank....no connection to the screen d keyboard comes [01:30] syzygy, yes you just need the package list for ubuntu-desktop [01:30] that should help [01:30] now when i restarted all things goes fine [01:30] help me [01:30] WebcamWonder, which is my volume? that last one listed in my pastebin? the W95 fat32? [01:30] Frijolie: Yeah [01:30] syzygy, wget them all to usb? [01:31] would anyone be able to help me get exim4 running? [01:32] i don't get any compiler errors when i run the update.conf [01:32] and when i run the program no emails arrive in my inbox [01:32] WebcamWonder, hmm.. mount point /media/iPod doesn't exist [01:32] I used to have an option on my older machine ( "Swap Center/LFE" ), can't find it anymore on my new machine, anybody knows how to get it to appear ? [01:32] how do you see the exit code of a program in terminal? [01:32] Frijolie: You have to manually create that [01:32] Frijolie, sudo mkdir /media/iPod [01:33] hello [01:33] hi i am ikehn7 [01:33] virianflux: Nice reflexes :) [01:33] WebcamWonder, thanks [01:33] how can i tell what kernel version i'm running right now? [01:33] virianflux, thanks [01:33] Solet: run the program in terminal and it should just show [01:33] WebcamWonder, heh, thanks [01:33] tsrk, uname -a [01:33] tsrk: uname -a [01:33] tsrk: uname -r [01:33] ikehn7 can you help?

Version 4.69-5ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 6 kB, installed size 68 kB [01:33] ya i am officially on ubuntu thats why [01:33] WebcamWonder, I've been mounting a lot lately, 2 HDD failures: been living off a livecd for a long time with no HDD [01:33] wow, fast answers, thanks :D [01:33] gah [01:33] are you from ubuntu support? [01:33] yeah, but I have debian on my workign comp...so I need to find the ubuntu-desktop binaries on my own... [01:33] i am former ikehn7 [01:33] Tyrath: i did, i did pm-is-supported --hybernate, and it just went to the next prompt [01:34] should show 0 for supported, 1 for not supported [01:34] I have an ATI 4870x2, and it's running much hotter in Ubuntu than Windows? Anybody knows the reason / a fix ? [01:34] http://mirror.hampshire.edu/ubuntu/dists/hardy [01:34] virianflux: Ouch. You should be better capable of Frijolie... I mount things very very rarely :) [01:34] are they in here somewher? [01:34] Solet: have you checked in /var/log/ for a log? [01:34] ice_cream, i am a noob but i can do anything that i just learned [01:34] whom do I chat with for driver support? [01:34] WebcamWonder, well you fixed it! [01:34] virianflux, you helped to fix it! [01:35] syzygy: you don't want to mix ubuntu and debian packages [01:35] !ask | icechickenx [01:35] icechickenx: 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. :-) [01:35] Frijolie, no problem [01:35] WebcamWonder, icon on the desktop! now wonder if it will mount on it's own [01:35] Frijolie: Haha. Hardly... You just remounted it :). And don't forget to "umount" it once you are about to eject [01:35] WebcamWonder, 2 hard drive failures when abroad in San Francisco is a great survival experience [01:35] ice_cream, you can do that with anyone in here [01:35] can someone give me a quick BASH for loop to rename files incrementing each file to scannedphoto-XXXX.jpg? [01:35] Solet: I'm not sure if this works but feel free to try: cat /var/log/* | grep hibernate [01:35] tritium: I am aware of that, which is why i did not use synaptic, but the link is to ubuntu not debian [01:35] virianflux, now, how do you get it to automount upon next insertion automagically? [01:35] hello, what is a x11drv ? cedega say on my amd64 hardy cannot load x11drv :( [01:35] syzygy: because this is a channel for ubuntu support [01:36] Frijolie, you could modify your fstab I guess [01:36] tritium: what? [01:36] Frijolie: The problem is that it is automounting, but automounting to some weird location. You can always modify your fstab to override the gnome-volume-manager's craziness [01:36] syzygy: hence the channel name, #ubuntu [01:36] Frijolie, adding the mount to the fstab is more serious [01:36] tritium: I am trying to fix ubuntu, with ubuntu packages? [01:36] 10-4. i've been reading on how to modify the xorg.conf file, but I'm new to linux based os. how to I increase my resolution, if driver is not supported by NEC? [01:36] tritium: hence my presence here, and link to ubuntu packages [01:36] !channel exim4 [01:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about channel exim4 [01:36] :/ [01:36] WebcamWonder: can I get your help on that one. I don't know what you have to put [01:37] what I need to know is how to find ubuntu-desktop packages [01:37] syzygy: you said you have debian on your machine [01:37] virianflux: yeah, I don't know what to put beyond the mount points [01:37] maybe i should try bugging the debian people :/ [01:37] tritium: yeah, the one that actually loads [01:37] Frijolie: virianflux would be much better at helping you. I have never messed much with my fstab [01:37] icechickenx, funny thing i am trying to do the same thing [01:37] virianflux: If you would be kind enough [01:37] tritium: that is how I am talking to you now [01:37] Frijolie, did you try googling how to add to the fstab? [01:37] !fstab | Frijolie [01:37] Frijolie: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [01:37] great, we can fumble together [01:37] i have hardy running right now is there a way i can upgrade too 8.10 without reformating [01:37] has anyone in here compiled torque game engine 1.5.2? :) [01:37] !upgrade | yoyit2 [01:37] yoyit2: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [01:37] WebcamWonder: yeah, I know the mount points now but the dbus options.. [01:38] virianflux, yes I have. [01:38] tritium: otherwise I would be screwed because I cannot get a gui to load in ubuntu, or conenct to internet, hence the entire "load ubuntu-desktop" on usb to load manually [01:38] virianflux, before coming here [01:38] icechickenx, lol ya im checking out instruction from here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=748857 [01:38] tritium: but I still need to find packages [01:38] to load onto usb [01:38] goin there now [01:38] icechickenx, cool [01:39] Frijolie, do you know the syntax fstab requires? [01:39] syzygy: ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package that depends on hundreds of other packages [01:39] syzygy: If you have 700 MB to spare, it could be done really fast. But you can go ahead, and try compiling the list of dependencies, and their dependencies, and so forth [01:39] for some reason, every time I reload alsa, kmix changes. Sometimes it shows the inputs, sometimes it doesn't. And the number of volume sliders changes everytime I reload alsa too, which is frustrating because I have to keep reloading alsa to try and get kmix to finally display the correct volumes and all the inputs that my audio card has [01:39] virianflux, [01:39] hmm...how do I set that up? [01:39] tritium: that sucks, but it will still fit on a usb,... [01:40] virianflux, what are the and [01:40] Frijolie, find out an example USB mount someone else has done online [01:40] WebcamWonder: /me sighs okay [01:40] icechickenx, hm.... im trying to figure that out [01:40] virianflux, and just assume that it would apply to my hardware? [01:40] Frijolie, some of the options arent needed, you need an example then you can modify the mount point to one you want and your device ID [01:40] icechickenx, trying to dl the nvidia driver for my card first === Tyrath is now known as Tyr[a]th [01:41] isaak: use ubuntu-packaged drivers, not nvidia downloads [01:41] Frijolie, im sure you can find an example that will partly apply, yes [01:41] dl? [01:41] Frijolie, can you figure out how to message me directly? [01:41] where do i get ubuntu packaged drivers? [01:41] hey does anyone know if i should use linux 64 or 32 bit for driver dl? [01:42] icechickenx: they are in the repositories. You can also go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers [01:42] isaak: Depends on what version you are running, 64 or 32 [01:42] issak: how much ram do you have [01:42] yeah, tried that but I get nothing [01:42] lifenova1, 3 gigs [01:42] icechickenx: otherwise, you can install them like any other package, via apt-get, aptitude, or synaptic [01:42] isaak: 32bit === Octoroks is now known as loserman [01:42] lifenova1: WHAT? [01:43] lifenova1: You cannot say that a person is running a 32 bit OS judging by the amount of memory he/she has [01:43] all i get is "no proprietary drivers" [01:44] WebcamWonder: he's probably getting at the fact that 32-bit OSes can't address greater than 2^32, hence the 3 GB memory limit [01:44] ? [01:45] tritium: Still, that doesn't make it right. I am running a x86_64 with 1 gig of ram [01:45] make what right? [01:45] WebcamWonder: that's fine. If he was successfully running > 3 GB, one would have to conclude he's using a 64-bit OS as well. [01:45] ok my external USB sound works (makes noise). How to I direct my software DVD player to use it? [01:46] ok guys, what u think about this http://img140.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pantallazo1wr9.png [01:46] http://img150.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pantallazo2de5.png [01:46] http://img264.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pantallazo3kd9.png [01:46] tritium: I get that, but it doesn't 32/64 if you have enough RAM to be able to map your entire ram + MMO [01:47] what software to use to run a prepaid hotspot server? [01:47] tritium: Arghh, enough addresses* [01:47] Hi. I was able to edit /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi to very close the way I want it. Only one more problem left, I have to have almost my full fingerprint on the thing before the mouse pointer will move (if I just use the tip of my finger nothing hapens). It wasn't like this before I upgraded to 8.10. What seting do I change to improve that? [01:47] I'm talking about my symnaptic touchpad on my MacBook2,1. [01:48] hello, i can you give me a name of plain php package in version 5.2 ? [01:49] php5 on synaptic? [01:49] corey_: php5-cli [01:50] o.k. i've got synaptic up, what would I search for to get a display driver for and NEC lcd1545V? [01:50] WOOT [01:50] someone w/ gedit check to see if there is a key-bound for saving a file? [01:50] Hello all :-) [01:50] icechickenx: drivers are specific to graphics cards, not monitors [01:50] asdfqwer: CTRL + S [01:50] ubuntu_is_dabest: synaptic or apt-get [01:50] great, my key-bindings are fubared [01:51] <_Vi_> vi is easier asdfqwer :q! [01:51] how do I find out what graphics driver I have? if this was windows...it would be a no brainer...but I'm new to linux... [01:51] _Vi_: That doesn't save :P [01:51] any idea why my ati 4870x2 is running much hotter on ubuntu than windows? like 20 C difference! [01:51] _Vi_, vi is easier than gedit, i doubt it [01:51] <_Vi_> WebcamWonder: oops i thought he wanted to exit! lol [01:51] anyone have a trick for the v-sync problem on video under ubuntu 8.10 with nvidia driver 177.82 ? [01:51] _Vi_, besides i use emacs for advanced editing [01:51] _Vi_: KDE 4.2 works pretty nice [01:52] darkkyokusanagi_: you probably want to be more specific. Many people use that driver with no such issues. [01:52] i think realplayer f*cked up my keybindings [01:52] as odd as that sounds [01:52] asdfqwer: watch your language [01:52] <_Vi_> asdfqwer: oh i loved emacs until I found out how horrible their channel is... I ran to Vi , and and never looked back. [01:52] i did [01:52] asdfqwer: not good enough [01:52] lol [01:52] <_Vi_> cbwcjw: i tried that in vbox, no luck :( [01:52] k [01:52] php5-cli as standard package is with shuhosin patch, but i need without it [01:53] Hey guys. Thinkpad volume keys adjust the volume in hardware, but gnome's volume display is still nice. Is there any way to get it to still show the volume on-screen when those keys are pressed, but not actually adjust it? I mean, short of writing your own script for it === patrick is now known as Guest28612 [01:53] _Vi_: Oh well, It does pretty good on my laptop. Im hanging out in #kubuntu haha [01:53] tritium, how do I find out what graphics card I have? I was given this computer for free [01:53] <_Vi_> cbwcjw: i get like a graphical glitch, that "rolls" and only show s 50% of the screen [01:53] icechickenx: lspci -v, for one. lshw, for another [01:53] _Vi_: Odd. [01:53] i have set V-sync to blank in nvidia settings and in the compiz manager, i set my refresh rate too and when i play a movie in fullscreen i have a tearing with totem, vlc, mplayer [01:53] icechickenx: lspci [01:54] WebcamWonder: a bit late there ;) [01:54] enter in terminal, yes? [01:54] <_Vi_> cbwcjw: yeah, ive never had an issue with KDE before so who knows . i'll find a fix soon I hope :) [01:54] how do you make all your windows transparent?? through compiz [01:54] ?? [01:54] icechickenx: yes [01:54] darkkyokusanagi_: update the driver, latest one seems to be 180.22 [01:54] tritium: Apparently, I am blind :P [01:54] WebcamWonder: :) [01:54] darkkyokusanagi_: its not as hard as it seems [01:54] trying it now... [01:55] yoyit2: You can bind the keys required to do that task. I think there is a default binding, whihc I have sadly forgotten [01:55] darkkyokusanagi_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual [01:55] icechickenx: a lot of information will scroll by. Pipe the output into less, then you can page through it with keypresses: lspci | less [01:55] thx i try this [01:55] WebcamWonder: have any more info? [01:55] gconf-editor is what i should use for editing an application's key-bindings, correct? [01:55] would it me this: VGA compatible controller: Cirrus Logic GD 5446 (rev 45) [01:55] icechickenx: yes [01:56] do a search on "Cirrus Logic" in synaptic? [01:56] asdfqwer: Lasst time I checked gedit respective gnome-binding [01:56] but i don't know because of what i have this issues now, after my fresh install i have no tearing that's all [01:56] asdfqwer: Obivously, you can have it override them [01:56] yoyit2: Hold u[p [01:57] !search ccsm [01:57] Found: ccsm [01:57] icechickenx: hold on.

I am getting old by the day [01:58] WebcamWonder, gnome-binding ? is that a file? [01:58] hytll, I think vlc says if you right click or something [01:58] WebcamWonder: it's the other non-acronym named package [01:59] is there a different 64bit iso for intel core 2 duos than the amd64? [01:59] any issues with kernel 2.6.27-11-generic. Seems to slow the system down [01:59] LinuxNIT: no [01:59] asdfqwer: Nah, that means, that it respects if you reassign "Save" to anything else, for gnome, it would inherit those, rather than going fubar itself :) [01:59] so i use the amd64 for intel? [01:59] LinuxNIT: if you want 64-bit, yes. [01:59] hrm [01:59] hmmm seems like the iso should be renamed [01:59] !amd64 [01:59] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information.

[02:00] LinuxNIT: it should not. See the wikipedia link. [02:00] oh, but i guess, from what you said, it'll reassign CTRL+S to everything else. [02:00] asdfqwer: Preferences -> Apperence. I think over there you can turn on an option that lets you edit the shortcuts from within th emenus themselves [02:01] any issues with kernel 2.6.27-11-generic.

[02:03] yoyit2: System -> Preferences -> Advanced Desktop Settings [02:03] WebcamWonder, I have followed all the tutorials I can find [02:03] LinuxNIT: blame Intel for pursuing Itanium, and confusing the whole 64-bit scene [02:04] virianflux: Is it officially supported?

[02:04] lol [02:04] new kernel? [02:04] LinuxNIT: its the official name of the architecture, amd called it x86-64 because it was released but renamed it to amd64 by the time any chips shipped ~ 2003 [02:04] WebcamWonder, sort of supported. it works by default but not with skype so i installed the jpeg hack [02:05] damn it [02:05] LinuxNIT: it would be akin to renaming i386 to x86-32 since people wouldn't want to acknowledge i(ntel)386 is the origin of the architecture [02:05] hello how to allow users to view my files? [02:05] WebcamWonder, I have applied the hack successfully before but that was a different version on a different kernel and a whole different ubuntu version [02:05] how comes python3.0-dbg package doesn't come with a python LIBRARY with debug symbols? this is outrageous :( [02:05] http allow all to view my files.how?

[02:06] virianflux: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams [02:06] LinuxNIT: how would people know that i386 runs on things other than intel 386 cpus? ;-) [02:06] LinuxNIT: they learn the architecture is implemented by many different cpus :) [02:06] Someone please assist me... Ubuntu gets an error when I try to boot up. [02:06] no LTSP supporter here :( [02:06] WebcamWonder, I'm familiar with that but I need a list of all the modules to be loaded I think, or something like that, I dont know the troubleshooting flow for it [02:06] how do I back down to 2.6.27-9-generic from 2.6.27-11-generic?

[02:09] how to allow user see my files on the web? [02:09] LinuxNIT: yea in mid 2005 it seems the first intel with amd64 support iirc was the P4 600 series [02:10] WebcamWonder, I think I might need to make sure all the right modules are loaded [02:10] Twinkletoes|H: no, manpages is the proper package name [02:10] hello, is there a channel for UNetbootin?

[02:10] zeroshade do you what that error is?... I googled it but can't find anything in regards to this problem. [02:10] WebcamWonder, I'm still curious as to how this could have become unbound [02:10] Twinkletoes|H: there is no "man" package [02:11] !info man [02:11] Package man does not exist in intrepid [02:11] LinuxNIT: intel wanted to call it several different things when they finally started making chips, one of the was em64t, and there was another name, microsoft calls it x64, etc [02:11] tritium: There must be, it just installed [02:11] asdfqwer: I have no clue.

[02:15] yes [02:15] WebcamWonder, nope [02:16] i mean wester digital [02:16] isaak: that should work when you plug it in [02:16] virianflux: Then you should be able to switch kernels in grub [02:16] WebcamWonder, can i tell it to upgrade again after?

[02:27] Alright, do I need to manually add the windows boot entry to grub, or should I let grub do it automatically somehow? [02:27] or restart and press esc and pick your other version at boot [02:27] tritium, I must have missed your orig. question please repost [02:27] szrhawaii: what are you talking abou t [02:27] DrunkPikachu, ok.. I'm confused.. you're running ubuntu and have vmware installed and are installing another version of ubuntu?? and wondering about reusing the /home and swap from a prevoius vm install?

I listed my graphics card...then....? [02:28] isaak, linux and windows just have fundamental differences. It's what makes linux so great IMO [02:28] UnderSampled, I think that can happen when you have an existing install [02:28] scunizi: almost, I need access to a smaller 32 bit install (unsupported software issues) and was wondering if the vmware install can use the host's home and swap partitions [02:28] szrhawaii: he doesn't have to uninstall it.

[03:05] isaak: yessss [03:05] ineedubuntuhelp: I asked you what the issue was, but never saw a reply [03:06] hello [03:06] ari_stress, pleaase elaborate [03:06] Prabz: that command i gave you only shows you whats installed on your system === tisme is now known as willthisdoat42 [03:06] zeroshade, well the issue is that I go in the menu for printers, and I choose samba and I see the Windows Network and the other computer (desktop on vista), yet I am unable to select the printer (it doesn'T show). any idea what to do? [03:06] Prabz: dpkg -l lists the currently installed packages, | grep nvidia-glx-dev just showed you all entries containing that text. [03:06] the way i had it booting was primary hdd had the boot loader and windows, and the a usb-hdd had ubuntu. im in the livecd now, but i dont know where to go from here to reinstall grub soley on the usb hdd [03:06] so, any one know how to reference devices to grub disks? as in hd0 could be /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1 and i need to figure out which in grub [03:06] isaak: File > Create > Xsane [03:07] Prabz: you should only have a few nvidia-glx-* packages [03:07] tritium, still, I need to know which one of them is installed [03:07] ari_stress, ok lets say i have a printer that is also a scanner how would that work [03:08] ari_stress, how would i install it? [03:08] Prabz: anything that showed up from dpkg -l is currently installed. [03:08] Prabz: as zeroshade told you, dpkg -l | grep nvidia-glx will tell you [03:08] sivel, man grub-install [03:08] isaak: depends whether ubuntu recognizes it [03:08] ari_stress, it already recognizes the printer model [03:08] ok [03:08] will try [03:08] ari_stress, but not the scanning function [03:08] how can all of the drivers 173, 177, 179 .. can all be installed???? [03:08] faust7: how is the printer connected ot the computer? usb? parallel [03:08] zeroshade, USB [03:09] Prabz: they're installed, you just have settings to tell it what you're using at the moment which will match whatever hte current version of the driver you're using. [03:09] DIrectly into the desktop, that is [03:09] good evening, anyone here who can offer help with a problem encountered during an ibex install on a toshiba satellite [03:09] Prabz: why not? I have 177 and 180 installed currently [03:09] (vista box) [03:09] tritium, ohk.. So any command to know which one is currently in use? [03:09] ok, well im not sure which drive/dir to do [03:10] faust7: hmmm, i don't know. I have that exact setup at home and selecting the computer over the network showed me my printer. The only difference was my desktop was XP. [03:10] faust7: sorry, wish i knew more on that. [03:10] when i df, the usb drive is /dev/sdb mounted to /media/disk [03:11] Prabz: hold, please [03:12] so am i to do grub-install --root-directory=/media/disk/root /dev/sdb1? [03:12] My network has always worked fine, its a wired connection, the nic is fine etc. However i havent had internet in a few weeks, and i just went to plug it in and ubuntu doesnt really seem to care. It says Wired Connection on the network manager app, but doesnt make any notifications or changes when i plug in the cable. And I always get address not found when i try to browse. Any ideas? [03:12] ibex installed fine on toshiba satellite and now it works for about a minute and then shuts down uncommanded [03:13] andymac, does the link light come on [03:13] the light on the nic does, but nothing changed with the icon in ubuntu [03:14] dhcp? [03:14] I tried changing it to DHCP from roaming, and back again. No changes. [03:15] how does ubuntu differentiate between routers with the same ESSID? [03:15] it lists Wired Connection in gray when i click on the icon. [03:15] andymac: did you click unlock? [03:15] Prabz: please run "file /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so" [03:16] b52wrangler: i'm no expert but i would think by MAC address [03:16] does ifconfig list an ip under the interface? [03:16] Prabz: that should be a symbolic link to another file that includes the version number. [03:16] one second ill check [03:16] b52wrangler: if you run iwlist interfacename scan you should see the same list of essid's you'll see in the network manager, however now you'll see more info about it. [03:17] including the mac addresses [03:17] w33d5: just curious, i had a conflict here in my neighborhood where another linksys box popped up which was secured whereas mine was not, it always tried to access the secured box [03:17] b52wrangler, no it doesnt. [03:17] it has eth0 and lo. eth0 has no ip listed, lo has 127.0.0.1 [03:17] type dhclient eth0 === ein_ is now known as Guest12002 [03:18] but that will only work if you have a dhcp server enabled on your router or a server on the nw. otherwise, you'll have to manually set the ip and mask [03:19] zeroshade, could be a problem with Vista... I guess I'll have to find a way around it. Thanks for trying though :) [03:19] different issue here, talked brother into loading ibex on his windoze laptop, installed fine but now he boots, surfs web for about a minute, then the laptop shuts down uncommanded...thoughts? === Guest12002 is now known as cintya [03:19] No DHCPOFFERS received. [03:19] zeroshade, : I got disconnected, but I wanted to come back and make sure you got my last message. [03:20] zeroshade, could be a problem with Vista... I guess I'll have to find a way around it. Thanks for trying though :) [03:20] hey guys [03:20] faust7: i got it. no problem, sorry i couldn't help =) [03:20] i was on gnome and i wanted to try kubuntu so i did sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [03:20] and it installed around 693 mb worth of software [03:20] now i want to get rid of it [03:20] do i just replace install with remove? [03:20] !enter | sileni [03:20] sileni: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:21] tritium: ok, sorry about that [03:21] andymac, type hwinfo --network see if link is detected under eth0 [03:21] sileni: yes, sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop. No worries. :) [03:21] !puregnome | sileni [03:21] sileni: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 ; sudo apt-get remove kdelibs5 ; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » [03:21] Dude is your handle really tritium? [03:21] How do I set the domain name in Ubuntu? [03:21] That's insane [03:21] tritium6: it has been for several years [03:22] Me too! [03:22] We're name buddies [03:22] Well, hello. [03:22] bazhang: is that wise to remove all kde packages? [03:22] Booge, i dont have hwinfo installed :/ [03:22] sileni, that is the command to remove kde [03:22] sileni: do you have any programs that you use in gnome that use them? [03:23] sileni, wise is your choice/option [03:23] zeroshade: none so far, if i need them later i can install again right? [03:23] andymac, does dmesg list any errors for eth0? [03:23] sileni: correct =) if you have no programs that rely on those libraries then there's no problem with removing them worst case scenario you end up reinstalling something. oh no, apt-get install something =P [03:23] anyone ? [03:24] hy [03:24] yup, eth0: link is not ready [03:24] anyone ? [03:24] hello ein [03:25] I'm installing a second nic in my PC, but I don't have a monitor. I've done the physical install, so now I need to do whatever config needs to be done before a reboot. What do I need to do for config so that I can powerdown, switch the ethernet cable, reboot, and be up and running on the new interface? [03:25] andymac, are you plugging the nic into a switch or router? are you sure the cable isn't a crossover? [03:25] tritium6, you say no monitor, as in not configed properly and it fails, or headless system [03:25] hy 2 b52wrangler... [03:25] subinacls: Headless system [03:26] thats a bit more specific :) [03:26] zeroshade: have you tried the new kde 4.1? [03:26] Sorry, didn't consider that interpretation [03:26] never know sometimes :) [03:26] so your trying to drop in a new nic ? [03:26] i cannot get ubuntu on my sony viao laptop [03:27] is that interface configured dhcp or static info [03:27] router. and im actually using a cat5 cable that comes with a ps3, so i guess ill try another cable, but ive used the cable to plug the ps3 into the router so i would assume its good to go. [03:27] Yes, I've got an intel pci-e gigabit that I want to use over the mobo nic. [03:27] sileni: i've never liked the way kde looks personally. so i haven't tried kde 4.1. [03:27] DHCP [03:27] zeroshade: hehe [03:27] you should be able to just power off the system [03:27] <_Vi_> what does tritium mean anyways? sounds kinda like TITANIUM [03:27] place it in [03:27] and boot [03:27] kde4 is quite different looking than kde3 [03:27] andymac, it should work then. try powering the computer off. wait a couple minutes, then turn it back on. [03:27] tritium is an element [03:27] if the hardware is already compliant [03:27] <_Vi_> ah [03:27] wastrel: i don't like the change [03:27] _Vi_: it's an isotope of Hydrogen [03:27] <_Vi_> nice name [03:27] it will act just as the other interface [03:28] subinacls: Hmm... tried that but was not able to ssh in afterward [03:28] wastrel: :-\ having to learn all over again, i hate it [03:28] i fail at chem [03:28] andymac, thats the only true way to reset the nic [03:28] I don't know why I couldn't get in. I don't know if there are log files that might help. [03:28] this is a good reason to have 2 interfaces [03:28] <_Vi_> wastrel: at least you knew that it was an element [03:28] a multihomed system to be exact [03:29] this allows you to have a admin interface that could allow ssh and other rcommands or whatever to be launched on this terminal [03:29] from a remote machine [03:29] an isotope of an element :] [03:30] andymac, try to run dhclient with no interface listed [03:30] Booge, restarting the computer is always the first thing i try :) and i just tried another cable, no change. [03:30] k [03:30] wastrel, please keep chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:30] tritium6, you follow what i am saying ? [03:31] Are you saying I should run another cable and use both interfaces at once? [03:31] andymac: how about restarting the router [03:31] :) === tisme is now known as willthisdoat42 [03:31] andymac: are you plugged into the uplink port on the router maybe? [03:31] use what ever you have configured ssh etc etc to admin the system [03:31] find out if your hardware is compliant [03:31] andymac, i'm sorry. i meant power cycle the router. [03:31] how can i find the hard disk manufacturer and model via either grub, or gparted, or some other fashion [03:31] well I know it has recognized the card === loserman is now known as octo1 [03:32] check dmesg for hints of whats going on with the system [03:32] you may need to run dhclient on that interface [03:32] or even ifconfig ifacce up [03:32] how do i do that? [03:32] you have a term open ? [03:32] dhclient just goes right back to DHCPDISCOVER. I don't think its router related, I have 2 other computers plugged into it and using it. The one im on now is running ubuntu and working fine, and the other is a windows pc working fine. This is whats driving me nuts, i've been going over all this for the past few hours with no luck :( [03:32] on that system [03:32] im rebooting that sys right now [03:33] i have a problem with ktorrent. it can't download torrents and keeps showine a message "folder /home/blah/blah/blah.wmv cannot be created". can anyone help? [03:33] pwn that file with chmod [03:33] andymac: sudo ifdown eth0 sudo ifconfig eth0 down then , sudo ifup eth0 [03:33] @andy: try to get log messages to help us figure out what is going on. use this command: less +F /var/log/syslog [03:33] sorry chown [03:33] therootest: make sure that you have permission to write to whatever folder you are writing to [03:33] well both them :) === techsupport is now known as orudie [03:33] zeroshade: thank you [03:33] hello how does Ubuntu 8.10 run on a quad core amd system? [03:33] does pidigin have a way to start a group chat? [03:33] andymac, is this a desktop or laptop [03:34] therootest: np =) [03:34] im on a laptop, the computer having the issues is a desktop [03:34] gta 4 cheats [03:34] oops wrong window [03:34] ifdown: interface eth0 not configured [03:34] could this be a clue? lol [03:34] I have a new Logitech Quickcam Connect, has anyone been able to get one running? [03:34] normal [03:35] davis, is it plugged in [03:35] jjt009: under buddies, there is a "join a chat" option. if you enter a roomname that doesn't exist it creates one for you. [03:35] andymac, does the switch link light come up? [03:35] zeroshade: /home/therootest/stilldownloading is the folder. How can i have NO writing-priviledges there? I am the user therootest. [03:35] yes [03:35] lsusb [03:35] open a term and use that command [03:35] the light on the nic? [03:35] Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046d:089d Logitech, Inc. [03:36] I managed to get the new kernel installed without adding it to my grub loader, how would I go about adding it to grub? [03:36] zeroshade: ok! solved! [03:36] oh, stupid me [03:36] hello everyone [03:36] andymac, the light on the switch that your plugging the cable into from the nic [03:36] therootest: was it permissions? [03:36] yup [03:36] lights up on the router np. [03:36] subinacls, how do i set the interface to use dhcp? [03:36] zeroshade: no, it was that i configured ktorrent to write there... but there was no folder :) so, i created the folder and tada! its ok. [03:36] zeroshade: do you know what i should put as the server for gtalk? [03:37] thats the fun of linux [03:37] first type "man dhclient" [03:37] or tell me what dhcp you use [03:37] therootest: ah. the folder didn't exist :) lol that shoulda been my first guess =P [03:37] andymac, does ifconfig eth0 list the link as up? try ifconfig eth0 down then ifconfig eth0 up [03:37] subinacls: "what dhcp you use" - I don't know what that means! [03:38] I am trying to install Dreamfall: The Longest Journey (picked it up a little earlier--looks interesting). However, I cannot access CD #1--I get a permissions denied error. How to I overcome this? [03:38] I want to start a server on port 80, but i am not root, what can be done? [03:38] zeroshade: do you know the general format of the server? [03:38] cant get ubuntu on my sony laptop i tried a live cd and wubi [03:38] zeroshade: i want to configure the ktorrent to automatically prompt me to download a torrent when downloaded from firefox. Can you help? [03:38] jjt009: hmm. i've never done it with gtalk, google it. or try to create a chat in gtalk and see if it has a server someone. [03:38] andymac, you can also try manually setting an ip. >ifconfig eth0 a.b.c.d mask f.f.f.f up [03:39] tsuna27, what about the alternate cd [03:39] tsuna27: forget wubi.. whats the issue with the cd? [03:39] Booge, something has changed since the last time i ran ifconfig. i did the up and down thing, and now i get eth0:avah1 listed. and it has an ip too. [03:39] when you enable remote desktop sharing in System Preferences, where does it actually store the config settings that you've set? [03:39] does anyone now how to install wifi drivers for macbook 3,1 (bcm4328 chipset) preferrably native drivers [03:39] and so does eth0. they have an ip now [03:39] subinacls: i think i need to set up dhclient to use the new eth2 on boot, because if i run it now it will just fail [03:39] andymac, is it a 169 address? [03:39] tsuna27, you should also md5 the iso, burn slowly and do the disk integrity check [03:39] yup [03:39] If anyone knows how to fix this: I am trying to install Dreamfall: The Longest Journey (picked it up a little earlier--looks interesting). However, I cannot access CD #1--I get a permissions denied error. How to I overcome this? [03:39] therootest: the next time you download a torrent from firefox, choose to open it instead of save, and choose ktorrent (probably in /usr/bin) it should learn and show this as your default "open" application [03:39] andatche, ifconfig eth0:avahi down [03:40] tritium6, kinda the idea. you can issue the dhclient command and use [03:40] therootest: at least thats what i did with deluge, so now when i download i just choose to open it with deluge =) [03:40] Anyone know where to find bcm4328 drivers for ubuntu? [03:40] dhclient eth1(or what ever interface to request DHCP info) [03:40] and that will not make it fail [03:40] thnx [03:40] !broadcom | bz0b [03:40] bz0b: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [03:40] np =P [03:40] if i need to remove PDO from PHP, should I bother with recompiling the debian package, or just install PHP from source? [03:40] it however might get a different IP address from the router or dhcp server you have configures [03:41] phorensic: it loads and then after the install it just freezes [03:41] well now its running interactively [03:41] tsuna27, sounds like a bad burn or a corrupt iso [03:41] HorizonXP: PDO is part of PHP [03:41] I'll just go lose The Game over here. [03:41] tsuna27: Did you try the alternate cd install? [03:41] thanks bazhang [03:41] phpmonk: yeah, but I want to remove it from the .deb, so that I can install it through PECL. [03:41] phorensic: what is that [03:41] subinacls: no DHCP offers received [03:41] Booge, k eth0 and lo are the only ones there now. eth0 only has a inet6 address listed, no inet addr. And still cant resolve any addresses. [03:41] hmm, i followed the commands that remove kde packages from my computer but even then when i restart the splash screen is still saying kubuntu [03:42] Anyone know why accesssing a cd would be denied under permissions? Anyway around that? [03:42] phpmonk: PDO_Informix won't work with the PDO that's built-in to Ubuntu's PHP [03:42] phorensic: when is the next ubuntu version coming out [03:42] tsuna27: it is a more text based installer to install ubuntu where the more graphical version resists on certain pc's [03:42] Hello, I read many stuffs on offline-installation, most of them are bit hard. I need to download some packages to use them on offline computers. Let's say, openoffice,amarok. What's the best way? === justin__ is now known as jsmith [03:42] andymac, did you try to manually assign an ip that's on your networks subnet? [03:42] tsuna27: I think 4 months or so i haven't looked recently [03:42] HorizonXP: talk in php channel plz ,i guess the topic not suitable here [03:42] tsuna27: you have a lto of options to get the install to work [03:42] using intrepid. Is there a way that I can set up a vpn connection (network-manager) so that only requests with a destination of 192.168.1.* will utilize the vpn? [03:42] tsuna27, april 2009 discussion in #ubuntu+1 [03:43] tsuna27: but the alternate should work where the regular one fails.. hell you could even try a server install and then install the desktop packages [03:43] tritium6, whats you OS? [03:43] !KDE-packages [03:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about KDE-packages [03:43] hey how do u enable compiz fusion on 8.10 [03:43] !KDE [03:43] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 [03:43] OsamaK: my suggestion would be to do a fake install on an online machine to know what dependent files are needed, the -d command will download but not install [03:43] andymac, has this ever worked? [03:43] isaak, install ccsm [03:43] !puregnome | sileni [03:43] sileni: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 ; sudo apt-get remove kdelibs5 ; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » [03:44] phpmonk: #php or #ubuntu-php? [03:44] !ccsm [03:44] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [03:44] =P [03:44] zeroshade: i did that and it still has kubuntu [03:44] does anybody here know what the gtalk server is?

[03:44] zeroshade: the splashscreen atleast [03:44] HorizonXP: #php [03:44] musikgoat|main, what's the correct command [03:44] phpmonk: i'm in there now :) [03:44] subinacls: Ubuntu [03:44] Booge, I've never done that before, so no. I just checked the network manager and wired connection is now enabled, and selected. Still cant resolve the ip though, but at least we're getting somewhere. ill try dhclient now., maybe thats the missing piece of the puzzle. [03:44] anyone use compiz fusion ?? before? [03:44] HorizonXP: ask ur question in room [03:44] Booge, yeah its worked plenty of times before. [03:44] jjt009: pigden probably has it [03:45] isaak, certainly [03:45] is it worth getting [03:45] andymac, dhclient eth0 [03:45] sileni: one sec [03:45] zelrikriando: HEY DUDE! [03:45] * subinacls slaps /myself [03:45] isaak, a matter of opinion [03:45] i should have figured ! [03:45] bazhang, do u still have it?

[03:45] still no offers :( [03:45] phorensic, well... [03:45] isaak: why so strange? of course we use compiz fusion in 8.10 [03:46] ugh, this feels so close now, what could be missing lol [03:46] ari_stress, but it said it might mess up ur system [03:46] phorensic, maybe, I have talked to many people online [03:46] tritium6, whats you fav editor [03:46] andymac, does your network have ip's in the 192.168.1.0 network? ex 192.168.1.15 [03:46] OsamaK: yes, most commonly you want to leave at least one fall back in case there is a problem with the latest [03:46] i assume vi ? [03:46] subinacls: yep [03:46] I love Ubuntu [03:46] zelrikriando: hmm I might have used a different name .. but we used to talk a bunch [03:47] hey phpmonkey, just run the httpd service with sudo [03:47] ight [03:47] *phpmonk [03:47] sileni: apt-get remove kubuntu-artwork-usplash [03:47] isaak: who said that? the license agreement?

Is there a way that I can set up a vpn connection (network-manager) so that only requests with a destination of 192.168.1.* will utilize the vpn? [03:47] zeroshade: oo thanks [03:47] zelrikriando: it could have been soulstice [03:47] add this : [03:47] auto eth2 [03:47] iface eth2 inet dhcp [03:47] therootest: do you have compiz running? if so, do you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed? [03:48] root after u add the CSSm you will have the option [03:48] that interface should be the one you mentioned earlier [03:48] but only if your grapics card can handle it [03:48] ok my next quest is if i installed xp first and then ubuntu can i just delete xp? and how would i do that [03:48] phorensic, not sure... but I do know that nobody use my pseudo [03:48] I know, Im saying i used to use soulstice and phorensic [03:48] someone please answer my question [03:49] zeroshade: i open the compiz manager and there are no plugins or anything at all! [03:49] Isaak so you don t want xp on ur computer at all [03:49] andymac, paste the output of dmesg to a pastebin [03:49] zelrikriando: I helped you with some issues you had a while ago [03:49] tritium6, hoghlight me after your finished [03:49] What would keep me from being able to open a disc, or to get a permission denied error when I attempt to open the directory (i.e. command "cd /media/cdrom0" returns "permission denied prompt") [03:49] yes i dont [03:49] or should i keep it [03:49] phorensic, it s possible, I had lots of issues [03:49] cuz i can't go online on there [03:49] therootest: apt-get install compiz-plugins [03:49] subinacls: ok, now do i need to reboot? [03:49] it all depends I dual boot into windows sometimes when i want to play games [03:49] rods, youve ls to see if you have the correct permissions? [03:50] zelrikriando: What you been up to? [03:50] therootest: and if you want more, sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-plugins-main [03:50] that's all windows is good for to me [03:50] what will be uid of command after sudo "command" [03:50] phorensic, I have no more issues [03:50] but u could use wine [03:50] for that [03:50] i think you can get away with this tritium6 [03:50] subinacls: or can i just restart some daemon or something [03:50] sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [03:50] derrty, u could use wine for games [03:50] how do I ls to see if I have the correct permissions? [03:50] ls -asl [03:50] Yea but i really find wine buggy on some games [03:50] rods ls -l [03:50] So i just keep XP [03:51] might as well get as much info as you can [03:51] oh [03:51] ls -age -sex -location [03:51] i only play starcraft so [03:51] subinacls: asl? age sex location? this isn't that kind of chat room! [03:51] zeroshade: both of them seems to be installed... but it says "cannot find the target". [03:51] lol a/s/l [03:51] i keep windows just to play starcraft o-0 [03:51] andymac, you could also try to run a linux iso distro like knoppix or ubuntu on the pc and see if that works with the nic. [03:51] come on you have to admit its funny! [03:51] :) [03:51] subinacls: hahaha [03:51] wat so i cant play starcraft on ubuntos? [03:51] What is meant by 'link encap' as used in the output of the 'ifconfig' command? I believe it is short for 'link encapsulation'. How is this term defined? (It is used in some old RFCs but I could not find a definition yet.) [03:51] subinacls: you beat me to the punch [03:51] Andymac try a live CD [03:51] therootest: where does it say cannot find the target? [03:52] bullgard4: The physical nature of the link. [03:52] Booge, yeah its got the 192.168.1.100 range. i just tried to connect to the routers config and it couldnt resolve that either. [03:52] so seriously i cant play starcraft? [03:52] zeroshade: in the console. [03:52] on ubuntos? [03:52] subinacls: hmmm I ran over and switched the cable back to eth2 but the router still isnt reporting any new dhcp requests [03:52] isaak: starcraft2? [03:52] What's the status of the patch that prevents the HD from parking the head every few second when on battery power? Has there been many reports of problems with it? [03:52] phorensic: direct me to where i can find this alt version [03:52] isaak: starcraft works with wine? [03:52] zeroshade: i try to apt-get etc... and then says cannot find the package! [03:52] maybe you have some other setup! [03:52] tsuna27: sure one sec [03:52] musikgoat|main, (Which has a very spacial number by the way :P) shows the words "install".. will it install these package of just download them [03:52] phpmonk: no one's responding :( [03:53] isaak: or i mean wine works for starcraft? [03:53] sileni, dont know thats wat i am asking [03:53] andymac, is it not resolving hostnames? are you trying to get into the router setup by using an ip? [03:53] oh [03:53] i cant be to much help with out having prior or intimate knowledge of your setup [03:53] i can only tell you try setting it static [03:53] sileni, i thought it does [03:53] therootest: hold on, let me see what repository those are in. you have compiz currently running correct? [03:53] I ask because my disk does a load cycle every *few seconds* when I unplug the AC adaptor (I got 15 cycles in 60 seconds the last time I checked) [03:53] i just checked dmesg, it says eth0: link up. but theres a bunch of transmit timeout messages. [03:53] ifconfig -a [03:53] I managed to get the new kernel installed without adding it to my grub loader, how would I go about adding it to grub? [03:53] HorizonXP: cause PDO is buil-in in PHP i guess you cannot remove it [03:53] OsamaK: it will download, not install [03:53] get info from that and make the eth2 interface use that information [03:53] zeroshade: how can i see if compiz is running? [03:53] OsamaK: that is a standard statement [03:54] DHCP is a odd beast [03:54] therootest: ps [03:54] subinacls: well thanks for the help [03:54] maybe yo uhave mac address filtering tritium6 [03:54] werdnum: Hm. Why do people use such a strange word for the physical nature of a link? (encapsulation is a well known term for layered protocols in the OSI reference model.) [03:54] :) [03:54] much appreciated [03:54] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate [03:54] im going to try installing starcraft [03:54] np! [03:54] on wine [03:54] sileni: ps what? [03:54] tsuna27: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate [03:54] starcraft2? [03:54] OsamaK: but if you notice all the files listed from lines 21 to 27, those are what you are going to need to take to the offline machine [03:54] good luck isaak [03:54] Hiya All [03:54] tritium6 sometimes the hardest problems have the most simple solutions! [03:54] good luck [03:54] isaak: is it starcraft 2? [03:54] it runs way buggy for me, no battle.net [03:54] therootest: in the system menu, go to preferences, then Appearance. Then choose visual effects, which choice is currenlty selected? [03:54] anonyman: if i sudo a command the owner is root, i do not want that [03:54] no starcraft 1 [03:54] and trying harder solves 98% of them! [03:55] phorensic: thx [03:55] r u kidding? [03:55] oh my [03:55] andymac, if you assigned an ip of 192.168.1.100 to your interface, try to ping 192.168.1.100. if that works, try to ping your default gateway, probably 192.168.1.1 [03:55] nope--on WINE [03:55] zeroshade: or that works >< silly me suggesting ps [03:55] Is there somewhere one can go for help with a new install of Ubuntu? I now have about 2 hours experience with Linux [03:55] zeroshade: i am in kubuntu, not ubuntu. [03:55] OsamaK: i'm going afk for a few min, PM me if you'd like [03:55] under virtualbox ose -- winxp runs fine [03:55] just sizing issues [03:55] what type of router do you have Andy mac [03:55] HiHoStevo, yes! there is plenty of info in ubuntu forums [03:55] wine isnt al that great than [03:55] musikgoat|main, [03:55] therootest: arg, kde. one sec. [03:55] musikgoat|main, please check this before. [03:55] Okay I have tried there... but no one seems to know what the problem is... [03:55] i would first check out apt-get or you package manager and see what aoftware you can get [03:55] its lame [03:56] Can anyone help me with an installation question? I'm trying to install 8.04 server onto an existing RAID/LVM2 and I'm having trouble skipping the partition step... [03:56] whats the problem ? [03:56] I understand there are other VM proggies out there that will run it fine [03:56] where can i access package manager [03:56] isaak: what are you talking about? starcraft has been running in wine since like 1999 [03:56] OsamaK: another method to see what files are needed is the command sudo apt-cache depends xchat [03:56] Can Any One Help Me With Sound Ive Tried Every Thing In The Forums. [03:56] system>administration>synaptic package manager [03:56] OsamaK: everything showing Depends: xxxx is needed [03:56] phpmonk: in Gentoo, i can unset a USE flag to remove it, and be able to install it via PECL afterwards. I know it's not that easy in Ubuntu, but I'd like to be able to achieve the same results. [03:56] see usser said it does [03:56] how bout battlenet [03:57] usser, how bout battlenet [03:57] Booge, when i try to ping 192.168.1.1 i get From 169.254.6.135 Destination Host Unreachable [03:57] phpmonk: do I HAVE to do it via the .deb package, or can I just install from source? cuz I'm having trouble compiling the .deb. [03:57] isaak: i didnt test battlenet since i had pirated version but i see no reason why it shouldn't [03:57] musikgoat|main, But how can I use that command to 'download' for offline usage? [03:57] phorensic: how can I find if i hav an i386 or an amd64 and this is test based, is it the same ubuntu then? [03:57] andymac, is that eth0:avahi interface still up? [03:57] hm... i will try [03:57] HiHoStevo, if you try to describe the problem you have im sure of the people here will try to help of add their 2 cents if they want to [03:57] nope [03:57] but first compiz fusion [03:57] HorizonXP: i do not have idea about it [03:57] isaak: http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+Starcraft [03:58] sure ^some of* [03:58] tsuna27: stick with 32-bit you'll be fine [03:58] phpmonk: ok, thanks for your help :) [03:58] yea 64 bit has some minor bugs [03:58] My new clean install of Ubuntu 8.10 included OpenOffice 2.4... however when I run any of the Open office programs the menus are all blank in some cases they have dashes in their place, when you mouse over an icon in the toolbar it pops up a dialog window, but it is blank no text... I can type and print... but the print dialog box is just full of empty rectangles....... [03:58] OsamaK: you'll likely have all the files downloaded, or you can grab them from the repository... all of your installed packages (unless you removed them) would be in /var/cache/apt/archives [03:58] isaak: the only thing is if i remember correctly there was no no-cd patch for starcraft so you'll have to tell wine where it can find your cdrom, or create a fake cdrom directory and mount an iso of starcraft there [03:59] andymac, is there a 169 nw listed on your route table? >route [03:59] isaak: its all in winecfg [03:59] tsuna27: only the install is text based, the rest is the same [03:59] just bought toshiba laptop a305-s6872. installed ubuntu 8.10. where can i find drivers - for example to be able to use the function keys for dimming the display? [03:59] k thanks [03:59] I have installed Java 6 and downloaded the version 3.0 of Open office... but it will not install... (I downloaded two versions and cannot figure out how to do the install on the DEBS version) === Ward1983_ is now known as Ward1983 [03:59] musikgoat|main, please feel free to leave.. I need more to understand what's going on. and note me when you back. [03:59] HiHoStevo, uninstall it [03:59] and reinstall [04:00] have you tried this already ? [04:00] not the OS [04:00] but the application its self [04:00] subinacls: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:00] I have done a re-install with the package manager.. [04:00] therootest: i apologize, i don't know kde well enough. I know that apparently there are issues with kde and compiz that some people have. along with not being able to find easy ways to configure and use compiz with kde. at least thats what i've seen from googling. Maybe you'll have better luck. Sorry. [04:00] dang flod bot, i have enteritis! [04:00] Booge, nope, actually the command route returns nothing but the headings for the list. Theres nothing in route at all :/ that sounds like the root of the problem to me :) now how do i fix that lol. [04:00] leave me alone! the doctor tells me im not the only one! [04:00] lol [04:01] and you still lack the menus [04:01] maybe there is another package missing [04:01] phorensic: thank you and any other tips for a new ubuntu user [04:01] maybe if you apt-get install openoffice.org [04:01] zeroshade: thank you :D [04:01] i would include all the suggested and recommended applications also with that [04:01] tsuna27: ask questions in this irc channel and be respectful. Learn all you can from the people here and also help others.. you learn a lot from helping other people [04:02] so maybe your command will look like this [04:02] therootest: wish i could help more =) [04:02] the file I downloaded named "OOO300_m15_native_packed-1_en-US.9379 has a setup file inside it... but when I click on it a terminal box comes up and says error it cannot load the Java runtime [04:02] sudo apt-get install openoffice.org libservlet2.3-java bsh-doc fastjar gcj-4.2 java-gcj-compat libgcj8-dbg [04:02] java-virtual-machine libhsqldb-java-doc libhsqldb-java-gcj libjline-java-doc [04:02] Any suggestions for recovering data from a badly damaged NTFS file system? [04:02] this is slimmed down to stop flodbot from chewing my ars! [04:02] Do I need to uninstall all of the openoffice files before trying to install version 3.0 [04:02] phorensic: peace [04:02] it can only help [04:03] andymac, what is the output of ifconfig eth0 [04:03] subinacls: actually, I think you got it working [04:03] to me it sounds as if your missing some packages needed to render the menuses [04:03] maybe some icons missing also could be a problem [04:03] maybe a font issue! [04:03] this has happened to me prior [04:03] http://pkeck.myweb.uga.edu/ssh/ [04:03] Between hurly and burly...which woiuld be considered the client and which would be the server that you would ssh into? [04:03] the other package I downloaded was OOo_3.0.1_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz and it has a DEBS folder inside... but I cannot find a setup or install file..... [04:04] andymac, can you ping your lo? >ping localhost [04:04] HiHoStevo, remove that [04:04] and apt-get it [04:04] its better [04:04] well i cant really copy and paste from computer to computer. is there anything in particular your looking for? Theres no ip listed, other than an inet6 addr [04:04] remove what and what is apt-get? [04:04] you can also download the source and then compile it yourself [04:04] yeah i can ping localhost np [04:04] man apt-get [04:04] its a package manager [04:04] so you dont have to download dependencies [04:04] andymac, try #ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.110 mask 255.255.255.0 up [04:05] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1035946 This is the same problem im having can any one help me please [04:05] and having dependecy hell cause not everything is installed before you compiled openoffice [04:05] Trying to install old Linux app, pilot-mailsync. When configuring (./configure) I get this error "checking for OpenSSL libraries... configure: error: OpenSLL lib and/or headers not installed" [04:05] or had some dep.s missing before you ran the deb file [04:05] What is OpenS "L" L [04:05] also apt-get grabs it from ubuntus repository [04:05] I see OpenSSL [04:06] Booge, tried it.. no real changes. === CoJaBo-A1tec is now known as CoJaBo-Aztec [04:06] andymac, the ip doesn't list under ifconfig eth0? [04:06] so... if openoffice is included on the ubuntu 8.1 cd can I just do a wipe and re-install with the CD? [04:06] nope. [04:07] anyone good at installing games on linux? [04:07] if you type dmesg, does the last few lines say anything about why? [04:07] you should be able to remove it from your machine [04:07] with out having to format/reinstall [04:07] or is there a command with this "apt-get" that you can give me that I can put in the terminal to get the correct files and install them. [04:07] andymac: what's in /etc/network/interfaces ? [04:08] ok tell me if you guys think this drive is dead [04:08] it doesnt show up in vista's disk manager [04:08] OsamaK: ok, so where are you at in your understanding [04:08] ? [04:08] andymac, it should say something like iface eth0 inet dhcp [04:08] in xp when i try to create a partition, xp freezes [04:08] yyou might be able to find some solutions! [04:08] when i boot to ubuntu, it gives me crazy errors for 5 minutes before it finally boots [04:08] its a new drive i bought for storage [04:08] hello. quick question. i just installed 8.10 for the first time on my msi wind, and it asked me to do about 210 updates, and then wanted to restart. i did and upon restarting it doesn't seem to connect via ethernet now.

[04:09] sorry [04:09] musikgoat|main, the way of "/cache/var/.." is too hard to apply, there are so much packages, every package has a dependences and so on. Is there a better way? [04:09] Powder7891, idk [04:10] ifconfig eth0 has link encap with a mac address, an inet6 addr, UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST, rx packets, tx packets, RX bytes, and Interupt [04:10] those are the only lines. [04:10] was there an anwer that I missed?? [04:10] i can tell you 1 of 10 choices [04:10] andymac, thats in /etc/network/interfaces? [04:10] Hey guys, I have a toughbook cf-18. It has integrated gps. I installed gpsd. First how can I tell if ubuntu recognized the gps and where it is. [04:10] oops, no ill check that now, [04:11] HiHoStevo, you should just open a terminal [04:11] HiHoStevo, and execute the following command [04:11] I can do that [04:11] sudo apt-get install openoffice.org [04:11] try that maybe it will detect the older version [04:11] interfaces has "auto lo" on one line, and "iface lo inet loopback" on the next. [04:11] and uninstall it for you, if it does not [04:11] use this command [04:12] sorry jumped ahead [04:12] you have to find the old executable that openoffice used [04:12] and remove it [04:12] andymac, add iface eth0 inet dhcp and on another line auto eth0 [04:12] and then reinstall through apt0get [04:12] apt-get(*) [04:12] OsamaK: i'm sure there is, looking at solutions for any that are easy [04:12] this is the response I got... openoffice.org is already the newest version.

Could it be the cause? [04:19] OsamaK: otherwise, you can follow this guys tutorial, http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/07/24/howto-download-packages-and-dependencies-for-offline-installation/ [04:20] . [04:20] oodeadbeefoo: please mind !enter, or I'll mute you again [04:20] oodeadbeefoo, check what [04:20] Booge, Wired Connection doesnt even show up as an option in the network manager now when i click on the icon. Its in the actual applet when i open it, but it feels like we just went back to square one :( [04:21] musikgoat|main, I tried it.. the script takes very long time making the HTML page, so I closed it. [04:21] HiHoStevo, i wish you luck, it seems i cant post to much or i cant post to little so the help you see is really easy, all you have to do is decipher all the crap i am about to tell you in one line, and i have to use commas, cause enter is illegal , maybe i should use cr/ or something [04:21] hrm. is there a better channel for me to ask? i feel kinda ignored in here. but it's understandably busy [04:22] andymac, run dhclient and see if it picks up an ip [04:22] dont anybody now where i can find where i can find the server [04:22] OsamaK: oh... like the guy says, one of the problems with packaging is this [04:22] oodeadbeefoo: periods would be appropriate, as they are proper punctuation. Plus, it's easier on all of our eyes. [04:22] GPS help [04:22] alivejamie, does the wind see your wired interface [04:22] they are a waste oy bits [04:22] dont anybody now where i can find where i can find the xorg server layout setion on 8.10 [04:22] standing by [04:22] bazhang: it says wired network and then lists auto eth0 [04:22] OsamaK: unfortunately aptoncd doesn't look like its actively developed... i believe that was an attempt to fix this problem [04:22] so i think so [04:22] bandwidth aint cheap [04:22] oodeadbeefoo: and all your disjoint lines are channel spam [04:23] I'm trying to get 5.1 from spdif, everything says to unmute IEC958 or whatever in alsamixer, but the volume won't go higher. Any ideas? [04:23] alivejamie, what does sudo dhclient eth0 in the terminal offer [04:23] couse in xorg.conf ther is no serverlayout [04:23] musikgoat|main, I tried this also. It just copies files from the cache, it won't help if you don't have the package installed. [04:24] just a quick question,,, when someone smart has a moment,, [04:24] !ask | cline [04:24] cline: 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. :-) [04:24] bazhang: it says it's listening and now sending some things [04:24] it says dhcpdiscover on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 [04:24] how can i tell if ubuntu recognized an internal gps,, tried what i know,, [04:24] alivejamie, any dhcprequests? [04:24] and some intervals now [04:24] OsamaK: is this offline computer able to connect to a intranet? or somehow proxy to your online one? [04:24] i understand that, however when i end up talking commands and steps it really is easier to distinguish new commands or steps with the enter command, not trying to argue a point, its just i feel that hitting any of these following keys (!@#$%^&U*I(){}[]:";'<>?,./~` unless programing is a waste of energy processor cycles and effort [04:24] cline: is it a pci card? [04:25] how can I save a window to the clipboard (not the entire screen) [04:25] oodeadbeefoo, please stop [04:25] and i need to at a line there for my touchscreen [04:25] anybody using bind? [04:25] its a toughbook cf-18 with built in gps, [04:25] bazhang: it says no dchcoffers recieved, no working leases in persistant database - sleeping [04:25] it was working upon first install, and the ethernet was fine [04:25] alivejamie, what does lspci say for the card in question [04:25] cline: does "lspci -v" list anything about it? [04:25] but stopped after the updates it asked me to do [04:25] bazhang: i'm sorry how do i check that? [04:25] you gentleman, im going back to remote-exploit [04:26] Hello, My problem is that my computer freezes within the first hour of operation. The screen remains as is and the keyboard and mouse are completely non responsive. only one button works: OFF. Has anyone had this problem? What could it be and how could i fix it? Thank you. [04:26] alivejamie, paste.ubuntu.com that command (from the terminal type lspci) [04:26] ill checknot that i can see, but i dont know what to look for [04:26] xurxo: do you think it might be overheating? [04:26] musikgoat|main, Here is the story, a friend of mine installed Ubuntu few days ago, I want to install some programs on his computer few hours later, will have Internet access, but we will not have the time to download. [04:26] sorry [04:26] greetings [04:26] anyone use webmin (to manage bind9) ? [04:27] tritium6: gah! [04:27] not that i can see, but i dont know what to look for , the word gps isnt there [04:27] !ebox | SodaKiller [04:27] SodaKiller: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [04:27] on shit. i sure hope not. that would be detramental to my hardware. [04:27] language, please, xurxo [04:27] bazhang: standby, i'll copy it to a flash drive, the netbook can't connect to the internet so i can't paste it to ubuntu.paste [04:27] xurxo, please keep it family friendly [04:27] OsamaK: how big is your cache? would it hurt to just put that all on a disk or usb media? [04:27] xurxo: you might want to run the memtest on the cd for a while and make sure it passes for at least a few passes (probably a few hours) [04:27] pg 13. you got it. what could it be? [04:28] anyone know how to so a search for files with names with less then 5 letters in them ? [04:28] bazhang, hmmm let me check it out [04:28] musikgoat|main, no, "totalling 499.2 MB" [04:28] xurxo: there is a program called cpuburn you can run if it passes memtest to see if it locks up from loading the cpu, generally due to heat issues [04:28] do you mean the ubuntu 8.10 cd? and do md5sum [04:28] Pelo: find (scope) -name four [04:28] xurxo: on the ubuntu 8.10 cd there is a memtest option on the boot up screen [04:29] anyone know how to keep dhclient from writing to the routing table and /etc/resolv.conf? [04:29] xurxo: it is different than the check cd option [04:29] Pelo: where (scope) would be / or /home or such [04:29] musikgoat|main, thanks [04:29] anyone to help with tethering my blackberry over bluetooth? [04:29] i did that memtest on the boot screen [04:29] musikgoat|main, after copying the cache and putting them on his computer, should I simply start Package Manger? [04:29] hi all [04:29] compguy1011: what version of ubuntu? [04:29] Pelo: use sudo if you want to search everywhere [04:29] remix [04:29] xurxo: how long? [04:29] xepra: run static? heh [04:29] xepra, remix [04:30] OsamaK: if you put it in the archive, then yes... it should check there, then attempt to get it from the repos (which would fail) [04:30] Booge, sorry kinda lost track of what i was doin, still no luck on dhclient. [04:30] what do you mean how long. how long ago? like monday [04:30] sigterm: its actually a nasty thing, i have one static and one dhcp -- i need both cause i have xen vms that use both [04:30] on ls hw what would an internal gps look like, i meen the connection type [04:30] xurxo: no how long did you let it run the memory test program? [04:30] OsamaK: i would just be sure to confirm that your cache has all the files in the depends... but unless you actively cleaned it up, it should [04:30] untill it finished [04:30] bazhang -> just have a dns question if you can help put me in the right path it would be aweseom. i'm using webmin to manage bind9 , i have 1 domain working fine and dandy. i want to add another domain, (i've setup the apache2 part), do i create a new "master zone" ? or edit the existing one? [04:30] xurxo: it runs in a loop so it runs until it fails or you reboot [04:31] musikgoat|main, recursive ? [04:31] compguy1011: not familiar with remix... [04:31] musikgoat|main, I updated my KDE version minutes ago, is it possible to install KDE in the same way? [04:31] xurxo: actually it runs forever in general but if it fails it tells you and keeps running anyway [04:31] xurxo: so you stopped it after one pass, i guess? [04:31] xepra, ahh i see [04:31] really? i thought it had a beginging and an end. It had a percentage bar made out of "#########" [04:31] sigterm: where can you disable the dhcp daemon? [04:32] OsamaK: kde is a set of packages just the same [04:32] SodaKiller, not sure about webmin; ebox is the 'ubuntu way' of doing that nowadays [04:32] that may be the best option... [04:32] xurxo: it runs 7 tests and it generally takes at least an hour to run through all of them [04:32] Pelo: what do you mean? [04:32] compguy1011: you can do it manually with hcitool and sdptool [04:32] so for now I don't have any problem. Thank you musikgoat|main [04:32] musikgoat|main, how do I make it search subfolder as well [04:32] xurxo: if it passes all 7 tests it then starts over and runs again (until you stop it) [04:32] I'm going [04:32] you basically need to search for the device mac [04:32] s/if/when/ [04:32] then search for the services it provides [04:32] find the dun profile [04:32] sorry, i lost my connection. here's the results of lspci: http://pastie.org/373916 [04:32] then specify that channel [04:32] I just install ubuntu first time on my netbook with low resolution, if window is too large . I usually using "Alt+Right hold" to move big window upper over screen.. but ubuntu seem have edge resistant ,I hardly move it. how to disable that resistant? [04:32] yes. it said "test memory" on the boot screen. is this what you are talking about? [04:33] Pelo: sorry, it searches all sub folders [04:33] anyone know how to disable the dhcp daemon? [04:33] thanks let me go lok [04:33] bazhang -> okay cool, i'll try ebox. maybe i'm getting confused on the way webmin puts thier terminology. let me try ebox [04:33] musikgoat|main, thank you [04:33] Pelo: like using /home/pelo would search everything under /home/pelo [04:33] bazhang: thanks for your patience and help so far - http://pastie.org/373916 if you didn't see [04:33] andymac, i've exhausted all my options. it's strange that you get link up on both endpoints. i would power cycle to router. thats the only other thing i can think of [04:34] xepra, well i got it connected by "pppd call blackberry" and the phone goes in modem mode but i cant browse the internet. and it gets a ip address and all [04:34] grr at&t didn't fix my dsl, and i won't have time to get it fixed before i go to germany :-\ [04:34] thank you musikgoat|main I'll see what I can do with the info [04:35] i really dont think its overheating. no part of the computer is exceptionally hot from what i can touch from the outside. [04:35] how do i diagnose my comp when it does dumb crap like the system monitor freezing [04:35] alivejamie, are you starting up with the ethernet cable connected? also, have you checked in the network-manager to enable ethernet connection, its odd as that device is very well supported [04:35] yeah it's connectted right now [04:35] like physically [04:35] is there a keyboard command to bring up a terminal window?? NOT ctrl+alt+F1-6 [04:35] anyone used the ubuntupocketguide? Pretty cool studd [04:35] stuff === calc_ is now known as calc [04:36] zigzags: gnome terminal? [04:36] alt-f2 seems to work, but other than that not sure [04:36] yea [04:36] zigzags: gnome-terminal & [04:36] ok I dont see gps listed, , would it say gps, should i look for a socket,serial? [04:36] ah keyboard [04:36] bazhang: is that system > administration > network tools ? [04:36] yea [04:36] zigzags: you can set one in system> preferences > keyboard shortcuts [04:36] zigzags: you can create your own shortcut [04:36] later guys [04:36] zigzags: I use windowskey+t [04:36] alivejamie, so you are connected from when you boot up? and network-manager is set to enable those connections? (should be an icon on the top panel for that) [04:36] i use ctrl-space [04:37] cool also what can i do if shit like system monitor freezes...also my nautilus crashes ALL THE EFFING TIME srsly it is out of control [04:37] <_Vi_> sounds like you need xubuntu [04:37] i'm physically plugged in. and network manager in the top panel is there, but when i click on auto eth0 it just cycles [04:37] and then eventually says it's disconnected [04:37] well, if anyone has any suggestions on why my computer freezes permanently and frequently be sure to drop me a line. Thank you [04:38] can i scan port or sockets again to find gps? [04:38] wondering if anyone knows how to decipher ata error messages in the kernel log? [04:38] compguy1011: can you ping anything? [04:38] shaya: normally pasting into google helps [04:38] compguy1011: is firefox in offline mode? [04:38] xurxo: Have you taken a look at top to see what processes are going nuts right before? [04:38] hi, I'm having trouble with an ethernet device, its not recieving a DHCPOFFER (but other clients on this router can connect) [04:38] <_Vi_> gnome-system-monitor by itself takes like 20-40% CPU zigzags [04:38] Ok so after rebooting twice, firefox still is stuck open [04:38] ubundudehey man [04:39] phorensic: hey dude [04:39] SudoKing: i'm having a similar problem, i'll let you know if bazhang and i figure it out :) [04:39] ubundude try doing a top | grep firefox see if you get the pid [04:39] oooook [04:39] oh really? [04:39] yeah [04:39] I have a laptop with a TSST TS-L632D DVD drive. It doesn't read DVDs at all. I tried flashing the firmware but that didn't change anything at all. What else can I do? [04:39] I wasn't aware. I didn't make any new updates. =S [04:39] no... it catches me by surprise and i restart my computer right after. i cant keep my system monitor on just in case my computer freezes. although it does it within the first hour of operation [04:40] phorensic: "top | grep firefox" ? cuz thats not doing anything it seems [04:40] <_Vi_> zigzags: try htop instead of gnome monitor and thunar instead of nautilus, if that helps, then yep you need something lighter like Xubuntu [04:40] ubundude yes that is the right one [04:41] ubundude ok try top by itself and see if you can find the pid for firefox [04:41] Ubundude: pgrep firefox [04:41] _Vi_ do u think the problem is because my computer has trouble handling the cpu load of nautilus and gnome system monitor??? [04:41] ok, any direction would be good, integrated gps,toughbook cf-18. did os discover gps? how can tell by looking at lspce -v when I dont see the word GPS? [04:42] phorensic: are you aware of any software that saves that logs that information for me so i can look at it once i restart my computer! i know its an odd question [04:42] phorensic: nothing seems to do anything [04:42] <_Vi_> zigzags: that is why a lighter Window manager would help [04:42] i dont think it needs to be lighter [04:42] alivejamie: well I don't want to resort to using static addresses =S [04:42] xurxo: Im not aware but I know the logs should already exist [04:42] xepra, its let me try [04:42] brb [04:42] it crashes randomly like some sort of retard [04:42] alivejamie, this is the msi wind correct? running ubuntu intrepid (8.10) with all the standard repos (ie not mint/ultimate/etc) [04:43] what? [04:43] bazhang: yep [04:43] and it never runs slowly, it either works or craps itself [04:43] alivejamie, let me just do a quick forums search and see if anyone else is having that issue [04:43] ccompguy1011: was it just in offline mode? [04:43] lol, good stuff [04:43] bazhang: i appreciate your help [04:45] anyone,,,,, how can i tell if ubuntu recognized internal gps.........i tried lspci-v but dont see the word gps?? [04:45] <_Vi_> zigzags: do this: go to System>PReferences>Appearence go to the visual tab, click none and see if surfing nautilus and gnome system monitor is smoother [04:45] good evening everyone [04:45] Äàðîâà ðåáÿòà, ðóñêîãîâîðÿùèå åñòü? [04:45] has anybody here installed easy peasy (aka ubuntu eee) - would that be a better solution for me?

[04:45] <_Vi_> oops wrong one [04:45] cline, maybe look for a chipset or name that is a little different fromwhat your use to [04:46] Flapjack, ifconfig | more [04:46] àëëî íàðîä [04:46] _Vi_ i already have it set at none, its always been at none [04:46] phorensic: it doesn't sound like firefox is even running in any form, even killall firefox or firefox-bin does nothing [04:46] dont know the chipset, what about serial or sockets? [04:46] where would a normal internal be? [04:46] I have a laptop with a TSST TS-L632D DVD drive. It doesn't read DVDs at all. I tried flashing the firmware but that didn't change anything at all. What else can I do? [04:46] I'm trying to get 5.1 from spdif, but I can only get stereo from "speaker-test -c 5". Any ideas? [04:46] guardian404, your character set is not readable [04:47] !printer [04:47] _vi_ im sorry to say this but the problem is not with limited hardware, my hardware is fine and everything runs smoothly. the problem is shit CRASHES and FREEZES randomly [04:47] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [04:47] not at all [04:47] sorry [04:47] ubundude1: ps aux | grep firefox [04:47] <_Vi_> zigzags: ouch... yep you definately are going to have to go to a lighter window manager then... else you could just use lighter apps, such as htop instead of gnome monitor, and thunar instead of nautilus [04:47] ubundude that is what i was afraid of, yet it still shows it as being open? [04:47] nickrud, thanks for that [04:47] cline you could always do a lspci -v >~/Desktop/list and then pastbin it for others to look atl [04:47] zigzags, please watch the language a bit, think family friendly [04:47] <_Vi_> zigzags: besides that im' fresh out of ideas [04:47] ok whats pastbin [04:47] new here [04:47] phorensic: ya just every time i try to open it, it says its already open [04:47] cline: http://paste.ubuntu.com [04:48] I definetly do NOT need a lighter window manager [04:48] bazhang: fyi, i botted the same system in windows and the network is working in there fwiw [04:48] *booted [04:48] ok, im connected threw my phone right now.... [04:48] <_Vi_> zigzags: ok well try lighter apps then. at least just to see if that even helps [04:48] but cant get on firefox [04:49] rny body russian^ [04:49] ? [04:49] zigzags: same here. within the first hour of operation, the computer freezes permanently and the mouse and keyboard are completily non responsive.

[04:49] alivejamie, this is a dual boot then? is the ubuntu the netbook remix or just straight up ubuntu (ie no array.org kernel or other eeebuntu customization) [04:49] _Vi_ [04:49] i do not need lighter apps [04:49] plz stop [04:49] compguy1011: file->offline mode [04:49] ok look at this http://paste.ubuntu.com/111118/ [04:49] ubundude thats weird... how do you know its already open?? [04:50] ubundude maybe your pc is so fast it just appears that way [04:50] compguy1011: file->Work Offline [04:50] uncheck it [04:50] bazhang: just the normal ubuntu atm, i was going to install netbook remix but the network stopped working after the first update and restart [04:50] thats my hardwre , where is gps? http://paste.ubuntu.com/111118/ [04:50] xurxo thats not what i get. my nautilus and system monitor freeze randomly and i can get them to work if i somehw kill their processes [04:50] <_Vi_> zigzags: you dont want help.you just want to cause trouble, you're trolling, and you're ignored. cya. [04:50] xepra, hey it worked ! :) [04:51] oh. my EVERYTHING crashes randomly [04:51] thankyou [04:51] where does ubuntu store the default icon themes? [04:51] phorensic: theres no window of it anywhere, i can't end it, i've restarted my entire system twice since this happened and if i click the firefox shortcut it simply says its already open and therefore can't open again [04:51] my computer crashed, I was just playing freecell, then the screen went black, then something said my video config was all messed up [04:51] :/ [04:51] Gerinych, /usr/share/icons [04:51] ubundudeoooh i see [04:51] compguy1011: no problem, that was an easy one :) [04:51] nickrud: ok thanks [04:51] ubundude1: are you using chatzilla -- thunderbird or fennec? [04:52] redvamp: nope [04:52] alivejamie, oddly enough there are tons of tutorials on getting the wireless to work, only one on wired not working, which requires downloading the deb (from another computer, then shifting via flash stick) === cellofel1ow is now known as cellofellow [04:52] ubundude1: if you have for example I have heard of thunderbird people starting it to check the mail and it keeping firefox from starting. [04:52] I have a laptop with a TSST TS-L632D DVD drive. It doesn't read DVDs at all. I tried flashing the firmware but that didn't change anything at all. What else can I do? [04:52] alivejamie, mostly at the msiwind forums, especially susanna777's tutorial [04:53] good bye [04:53] alivejamie: look at this and see if you see gps listed [04:53] cline, can you do the same thing but use sudo lshw instead? [04:53] okay i'll look into that. [04:53] redvamp: thunderbird isn't even on my system so.... [04:53] ok hold on [04:53] hi [04:53] anyone know, is something different about export in ubuntu? [04:53] I'm having an error with apt-get update [04:53] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=993324 alivejamie here for example [04:53] W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 28A8205077558DD0 [04:53] bazhang: is there a disadvantage to using something like ubuntueee or easy peasy? [04:53] alivejamie, there are links in that as well [04:53] ubundude1: have you checked in the system monitor for firefox -- process there? [04:53] alivejamie, depends on what you like really [04:53] the suggested way to fix it is... to run apt-get update [04:54] which is ridiculous...

[04:54] alivejamie: Are you sure your problem is similar??? [04:54] have there been any reported errors upgrading to 2.6.xx-11 on Ubuntu 8.10 amd64? I just tried through Upgrade Manager and it's kind of hosed my system [04:54] Jim_Raynor, somewhere in launchpad, probably on a page about the guy that has that ppa there's a gpg key you can add [04:55] sounds pretty foreign :< [04:55] ok heres lshw list http://paste.ubuntu.com/111119/ [04:55] that's the funny thing... there's no ppa [04:55] ubundude1: Also look for things like Thunderbird-- Fennec -- and MOZCHAT (chatzilla) [04:55] redvamp, no mention in system process and sudo firefox didn't do anything [04:56] Jim_Raynor, there most certainly is, somewhere in /etc/apt/sources.list* [04:56] Jim_Raynor, then delete that entry from your sources.list by placing a #in front of it [04:56] redvamp: no mention of anything mozilla related in process list [04:56] i already wiped out sources.list [04:56] holy crap this place is busy :> [04:56] Jim_Raynor, look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* [04:56] hrm-- and sudo firefox -- said it was already open [04:56] Jim_Raynor: don't wipe it out. That's extreme. [04:56] i mean, wipe it as in clean it [04:57] it's as default [04:57] redvamp: exactly [04:57] redvamp128: why are you running firefox with sudo? [04:57] tsuru what problems did you have? [04:57] cline, I don't think the system recognized it.. I don't see anything out of the ordinary [04:57] tritium not I just firefox says it is already open-- and thought possibly he could get it to start then shut it down [04:57] redvamp128: ah [04:57] its an internal gps,,, what now? [04:58] tritium I have heard of that as a fix for improper shutdown of firefox... [04:58] sockets' bind() call is returning -1 on success. what's up with that? i can connect to the server and everything [04:58] martianpenguin: well I was in gnome and suddenly all the fonts went away and icons became x's in white boxes....I had to reboot. From there I was told to dpkg --configure -a and I did but it quickly terminates [04:58] I have a frozen app? how to I close it [04:59] cline, check the mfgs site for info or google.. I'm stumped [04:59] ps [04:59] Fezller: xkill then click on it :> [04:59] then kill the number [04:59] it is next to [04:59] tritium I test Minefield sometimes (ahh check to see if there is a process nammed that in your system monitor ) ubundude1 [04:59] martianpenguin: with errors about partially configured or incomplete installs... === GodTodd__ is now known as GodTodd [04:59] jtal: xkill on command line?

Even with madwifi and all staff it won't work :s [05:00] tsuru: could have been a related issue [05:00] redvamp: what would evolution have to do with firefox? [05:00] jtal: didn't work [05:01] Fezzler: ps aux | grep [05:01] ubundude1: absolutely nothing [05:01] ubunudude1: I have also heard of firefox initiating the evolution mail client and hanging with no window open [05:01] Fezzler: then kill [05:01] Does anyone here know the proper syntax for adding ubuntu to boot.ini? [05:01] ath_pci .. when i reboot i do iwconfig there s nothing I have No wireless extention [05:01] martianpenguin: pulseaudio appears to be the the one that won't configure or fix itself when doing apt-get upgrade...

[05:01] redvamp128: you've heard of some pretty incredible things, then [05:02] Fezzler: top or from ps [05:02] L1nuX, we need the exact atheros [05:02] tsuru: you may want to try removing that package and upgrading... and then reinstalling it [05:02] redvamp: killed everything to do with evolution and still nothing [05:02] Fezzler: if you're looking for firefox you could do: ps aux | grep firefox [05:02] tritium I run Minefield as well as 3 versions of Firefox-- Fennec-- Wine version plus the nightly build [05:02] Ok wait I have a forum where I post all informations that I can can I post it here ?

[05:04] name [05:04] jtal, No it's installed fine, via the apt-get package. [05:04] tsuru: i don't know... if it does, then you have a problem [05:04] lspci in terminal L1nuX [05:04] Formode: I meant a server error log, not install/build error log [05:05] martianpenguin: I already have a problem...

[05:08] Formode: does your webserver work at all? http://your_ip ? [05:08] ubundude1: find your .mozilla folder and your profile and look for .parentlock file and delete it [05:08] ubundude1: did you look under ~/.mozilla/firefox/ for a lock file? [05:08] ubundude1: one directory lower, actually. [05:08] hey guys [05:08] jtal, it's working fine. My Ampache setup is fine, wordpress is fine, mediawiki is fine. [05:08] OK the gps chipset is SIRF_STAR 3 ,,,, [05:08] Formode: see where its looking for your cgi stuff? that doesnt look right [05:08] recommend any good general ubuntu programs?

[05:09] ubundude1: did the firefox -Profilemanger work to open a new instance? [05:09] Fezzler: are you sure you used the ps id? from ps command? [05:09] Formode, Can you please help with my Wifi card :s ? [05:09] l1nux, I can't even get my girlfriends to work. :-P [05:09] Flannel, I dunno, I'd rather heard recommendations from people rather than installing it and trying it, I am very low on bandwidth [05:09] lol [05:09] Formode: so /usr/lib/cgi-bin/irc.cgi is really there? [05:10] Fezzler: there's also a pgrep command. It can be more convenient. [05:10] jtal, Very much so. [05:10] jtal: I ran "ps aux | grep palm" [05:10] can I run a command to look for internal gps again??/ [05:10] EMPulse: You'd probably have better luck in #ubuntu-offtopic, and also, you'll need to know what type of software you're looking for. [05:10] redvamp: profilemanager didn't help [05:10] ubundude1: find your default profile and delete the following from that folder -- the "lock" and ".parentlock" file [05:10] Fezzler: "pgrep palm" is the equivalent [05:10] Fezzler: replace "palm" with whatever you think might be in the command name- like pilot [05:10] ... jtal, Sorry, I'm a freaking idiot.... I forgot the folder. [05:10] Flannel, ah, cool, thanks [05:10] heh [05:10] ohzie, and does anyone know how to automatically identify [05:11] tritium: you know about env vars? [05:11] I hate typing /msg nickserv identify everytime [05:11] oh, tab, and does anyone know how to automatically identify? [05:11] EMPulse, What client? [05:11] EMPulse, Try to script it XD [05:11] jtal: yes [05:11] ubundude1: should be -- nautilus show all files -- then the .mozilla folder under your user name [05:11] redvamp: deleted parentlock [05:11] ohzie, Xchat, I think [05:11] redvamp: can't find lock [05:11] now also look for lock [05:11] might not be there [05:11] tritium: export MY_VAR=MY_STUFF ... $MY_STUFF only works locally [05:11] try opening it up [05:12] jtal: Bingo. Thanks [05:12] jtal: by "locally" you mean what, exactly? [05:12] tritium: it only lasts for that session [05:12] ubundude1: I got that one from this http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use [05:12] ohzie, Xchat [05:13] jtal: did you put that in your .bashrc?

[05:13] jtal: yes [05:13] redvamp: well for 1 i can't go to that page, parentlock didn't change anything and i can't find a "lock" file [05:13] EMPulse: if you go to the nework list in Xchat and click edit on the server in question, you can put your nickserv password in. Then it will automatically idenfity for you. [05:13] xchat has a specific 'nickserv password' field you just put it in [05:13] tritium: so, I have a gui program that needs an env... do I have to put it in .bashrc and logout/in? [05:14] zeroshade, ohzie thanks! [05:14] quick question. will ubuntu run on an intel xeon platform? [05:14] no problem [05:14] :) [05:14] np [05:14] Is there an IRC channel for OO?

Put it in ~/.bashrc, and then "source ~/.bashrc [05:14] dpkg is giving me an error in parsing a script. what directory or parent directory would I look in to find said script? [05:14] any WINE experts in the room? Is there a WINE channel? [05:14] nightrid3r, I think that's listed as arch IA64 [05:14] tritium: but that will just make it work in that terminal session, my gui is not running from there [05:15] nightrid3r, I don't know if Ubuntu supports it, but that's what you should look for. [05:15] "ohzie, and does anyone know how to automatically identify" (c) EMPulse [05:15] ohzie: k thanks [05:15] jtal: correct [05:15] ok thanks [05:15] is anyone seeing any of my posts?

[05:32] ubuntu_guy, what script [05:33] http://www.jamesonwilliams.com/hardy-r8168.html it was from the last post mark solved in ubuntu forums [05:33] bazhang, is there also something that will allow me to visually watch the actual traffic.. like mirroring the output to the monitor?

One is given a pan device name instead of a eth device name. I'm guessing it's pan0 [05:41] why the question mark? ohzie, can i test that with gpsd [05:41] ohzie what does it mean if nothing is outputting when I type grep audio or whatever? [05:41] redvamp: anyway i'm gonna get some sleep finally, i'm dead [05:41] is pan0 a network bridge? [05:41] christheferal, It means the sound card doesn't have the word Audio in it's device name. [05:42] Pyles 17 [05:42] ohzie ah k [05:42] cline, I have no idea, but it's one of only a few things that aren't 'intel' and it's the only one I can't figure out what it is. [05:42] So I figure it might be that. [05:42] ohzie what do I do then :s - it worked on 8.04 32 bit [05:42] can i test that with gpsd? [05:42] cline, I have no idea. [05:42] thanks man i appreciate you looking.. [05:43] Pyles 17 [05:43] christheferal, I wish I could be more helpful, but I have to wake up in 5.5 hours. :[ [05:43] yes?

[05:49] pls send copy of xorg.conf [05:49] it should be etho, eth1 [05:50] :-/ [05:51] can anyone help with the firehol, I'm trying to allow local network ips to pass through. === disappearedng is now known as bamboojj === bamboojj is now known as jojoju [05:52] hi does anyone know how to set up scanner for epson cx8400? [05:52] it is a printer scanner [05:53] ok.. now I'm confused.. my router reports my wireless ip ends in .105 but the wireless connection on my laptop reports .109.. what's up with that? [05:54] scunizi-> what command you used to check your ip addy? [05:55] can anyone help with the firehol, I'm trying to allow local network ips to pass through. [05:55] n8tuser, just went up to the wireless icon by the clock and right mouse clicked.. then chose "info" [05:55] scunizi-> confirm it with ifconfig in a terminal [05:56] n8tuser, ifconfig report .105 ... [05:56] *reports [05:57] scunizi-> so you do have .105 [05:57] is permissions the only bad thing about an ntfs /home partition? [05:57] when I email a mailing list .. do I put the [MAILING LIST] in the subject? Or do I just send a normal email and the program automatically puts the mailing list to the front of the subject?? [05:57] n8tuser, yes.. weird that the other would report differently [05:58] wolter -> if the host hosting your ntfs is not ready at boot, you will have a hard time loggin on while your host attempts to connect to remote host [05:59] scunizi-> i believe what is shown on the terminal [05:59] n8tuser, yes.. I agree.. it's the most direct approach [05:59] n8tuser, i am not connecting to any remote host, but my own computer's hard drive, or...did i get you wrong? [06:00] wolter i mis-read you, i was reading it as nfs [06:00] n8tuser, so, which are the cons? [06:01] wolter i dont know of any linux system that makes their /home an ntfs [06:01] haha [06:01] n8tuser, no, i don't think that there is one either, but i have a dual boot, and i don't want that many partitions.. [06:02] n8tuser, besides, i have 100gb for windows storage, and 100 for home, but i would like to merge them to be able to access--from windows--my linux files. [06:02] when I email a mailing list .. do I put the [MAILING LIST] in the subject? Or do I just send a normal email and the program automatically puts the mailing list to the front of the subject?? [06:02] How can I put an IRC chat on my website ? [06:02] Bangers1, you just have to send it to the mailing list email.. [06:02] Bangers1, that does everything for you === richard is now known as Guest90202 [06:03] wolter you have plenty of hair? that kind of merging will certainly make you loss hair.. hehe [06:03] n8tuser, why would it? [06:03] wolter -> go ahead try to mix them up, and see how much hair pulling you'd be doing [06:04] n8tuser, but, could you please tell me what is so painful about it? [06:04] who likes halo? [06:04] Bangers1, you probably want to put your topic at the subject [06:04] wolter they are totally different file systems, [06:05] n8tuser, but the ntfs-3g driver has a perfect support for ntfs, doesn't it? [06:06] wolter it has that support, am not stopping you, go ahead and try it [06:06] n8tuser, I just don't want to regret it. [06:06] wolter well then dont do it [06:07] n8tuser, I just want to ask you what may go wrong that will make me regret my choice. [06:07] wolter you may want to google for a comparison of filesystems, their capabilities and what not [06:08] wolter journaling can go wrong [06:08] sorry, what was journaling? [06:09] wolter a ntfs /home partition? [06:10] bazhang, yeah [06:10] "can someone help me with my intel 3945 wireless woes? usually lshw -C network outputs an UNCLAIMED status for the card, even though the iwlwifi driver is installed" (c) Pyles17 [06:10] wolter, on a ubuntu system? [06:10] bazhang, that i want [06:10] wolter, not possible. [06:11] bazhang, why? ubuntu can read/write ntfs... [06:12] wolter, apart from the journaling issues, and incompatibilities, ntfs is a propietary MS standard. ie not open source. [06:12] wolter: ntfs doesn't support unix file permissions [06:13] wolter, you can use it for backups shared drives if you wish, but not to install ubuntu onto [06:14] bazhang, i dont want to install ubuntu... i want to have it as a home [06:14] wolter, are you using ubuntu? [06:14] irnodefn: thanks for reposting my query [06:14] bazhang, right now? yes [06:15] wolter, any ubuntu support questions? ie in the realm of possible scenarios (as that is not possible)?

[06:27] some kinda directory [06:28] CX8400 [06:28] epson [06:28] O__o: either way, it will get the files that have ".part1.rar" at the end of their name [06:28] savvas, for example in gui, i can right click the part1.rar and extract it [06:28] anybody have a v-sync issues under ubuntu 8.10?

[06:29] isaak: there's a gnome tool that helps you set up a printer [06:29] looking up it's command [06:30] O__o: even with unrar, e and x should be commands, don't use the minus sign "-": unrar x file.rar [06:31] isaak: $ system-config-printer [06:31] so unrar ex file.rar? [06:31] use that to add the appropriate printer [06:31] and xsane will pick it up [06:31] k [06:31] the printer part works [06:32] but not the scanner let me try again [06:32] O__o: I think I made myself clear, try it and see. If unrar ex works for you, that's great, if not, use unrar x [06:32] wait is that a command? [06:32] aaditya, is that a command line? [06:32] yeah, anything starting with a $ means command line [06:33] what else could it possibly be? [06:33] System > Administration > Printing?

[07:14] Gohalien_NB, yeap, stranger things will happend man (jajaja), you could see that it was the problem by watching this line: make[1]: *** No rule to make target `notebook/Wireless/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3933-20090127'.

[07:31] Once ive connected into an FTP server, how can I open documents as though I was running "sudo nano " on the actual server? [07:31] i'm trying to install some libraries, but i run LDD and it's not finding them I think I need to update LD_LIBRARY_PATH. which file should I edit to export this on a system-wide level? [07:32] PC_Nerd: are you sure you *can* do that? [07:32] The file system on my ubuntu has become read only [07:32] can someone help? [07:32] ok so ive got xubuntu installed on a lv i went to expand a volume. but ubuntu doesnt see the new space. gparted does [07:32] nope - but I thought you shoudl be able to do a "run as" or something? I have root access to ther server, but for security im using a standard user. any ideas on how to edit those files? [07:33] codeyman: it does that if something goes wrong during boot.. you'll have to find out the reason.. are there any error messages when you boot up? [07:33] PC_Nerd: what connection are you using? ftp? [07:34] ftp (places, connect to server) I can ssh into the server, but I prefer to use gedit etc. [07:34] PC_Nerd: you'll need to use ssh or similar if you want to run stuff on the server [07:34] hey guys [07:34] how do you expand a jfs filesystem , in the terminal [07:34] could someone give me a repo list that includes skype? [07:34] Slart: I just see the splash screen and says that trying different splash sizes.. but thats about it (apart from bash complaining that it cant create tmp files and dropping me to /) [07:34] PC_Nerd: you can use ssh -X gedit bla bla bla if you want to run gedit on the remote system [07:35] anyone know why an entry in my /etc/hosts file doesnt resolve? [07:35] codeyman: hmm.. disk full? [07:35] !skype | magicsrv [07:35] magicsrv: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [07:35] magicsrv, medibuntu [07:35] i can connect to it if i put in the IP but not if i put the hostname i specify in the hosts file [07:35] ty [07:35] PC_Nerd: ftp is "File Transfer Protocol".. I think that's about all you can do.. transfer files.. [07:35] Slart: no way.. this is a almost new pc.. one sec.let me check if that is the case [07:36] magicsrv, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [07:36] slart: no disk is not full [07:36] ok.... so then I guess the question would be how can I mount the remote server filesystem? ie: /server/usr/local/apache2/htdocs would be /usr/local...... on the server? [07:36] boot up says: 19+0 out [07:36] Is it possible to change the ubuntu boot logo foe something else? [07:36] quibbler: found it, tnx [07:36] 19+0 in.. kinit trying to resume [07:37] PC_Nerd: I would use something like nfs.. or sshfs since you already have an ssh connection configured [07:37] how do i expand a JFS filesystem [07:37] the|Navigator: possible, yes... easy, not sure [07:37] !splash | the|Navigator [07:37] the|Navigator: To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. [07:38] ok thanks . [07:38] Slart: I tried remounting as rw, fscking while on livecd.. didn't help [07:38] I'd like to launch gnome-terminal (from my terminal) and have the new terminal window be positioned at some X,Y on my screen. How can I do this? [07:38] Thank you, Slart! [07:38] Slart: I tried dpkg-reconfigure linux-image incase some kernel issue [07:38] maodun: check the man page for gnome-terminal [07:39] codeyman: those are all very good ideas.. much better than I could think of at the moment [07:39] codeyman: nothing useful in dmesg? [07:39] is there any way to force window title in xterm? [07:39] we call the regular networking cable as RJ45 like this one http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d7/Ethernet_RJ45_connector_p1160054.jpg right? [07:39] if i use -T (-title) option it just sets it back to my default prompt [07:40] so what would i call the one with a smaller head than that [07:40] monstah: yes.. there is a way to set the title using.. echo I think.. and some weird esc sequences [07:40] usr13: I'm starting to think it is a problem with my router not assigned new ipaddresses [07:40] anyone have any guess as to why samba wont connect to a server when i use a hostname but it will when i specify the IP? [07:40] markupdude: rj-10 is the name for the connector used by some phones iirc [07:40] Slart: cool, looks like I want to play with the geometry flag. thanks. [07:41] maodun: ah.. yes.. geometry.. that's the one [07:41] actually i don't know much about networking, i don't think my old Desktop has a modem internal on board... its using a USB port to connect to internet [07:41] maodun: you're welcome [07:41] so i bought a modem which looks like this - http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=406084&CatId=563 [07:41] Slart: I see ExT3-fs: INFO; recovery required on readonly filesystem [07:41] so that i can connect my newer laptop [XP] to my old desktop [Ubuntu] [07:41] codeyman: and running fsck and badblocks on it doesn't do anything? [07:42] is it being logged somewhere what all updates you installed to your ubuntu? [07:42] quibbler: Installer says "Wrong architecture: i386" any ideas? [07:42] but that modem came with a thinner cable... and not the bigger point.... [07:42] then i see EXT3-fs: recoverycomplete.. mounted filesystem with ordered data mode [07:42] Slart: fsck finds it clean [07:42] Slart: huh ok :D [07:42] uc right now I can install 24 updates again [07:42] markupdude: sounds liek you bought a dialup modem [07:42] markupdude: I think that cable is for the phone line [07:42] I tried forcing it.. doesn't work [07:42] it is important to know what is all up to date [07:42] markupdude: you need an ethernet card [07:42] markupdude: isn't there an usb or serial connection for the computer? [07:43] except it is sooo much!! [07:43] no not markupdude, updates dude! [07:43] magicsrv, you using 64 bits? [07:43] dpkg: error processing sun-j2sdk1.4_1.4.2+18_i386.deb (--install): package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64) [07:44] if I need to recover file from a partition, what are the best tools to use? [07:44] phix: You are using a 32bit deb on a 64 bit system [07:44] anyone know anything about network manager and want to help? [07:44] codeyman: so? [07:45] shiraj: yes i think so, i bought a old style slow modem :( [07:45] monstah: try echo -e "\033]2;NewTitle*\007" [07:45] hi , i`ve already report for the bug but i`ll paste the bug here also http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m382d4c61 during the installation the update manager ask me if i want to modify menu.lst but i choose to use the local because i usually change only the number ok kernel i wish to boot manually [07:45] phix: doesnt work [07:45] codeyman: why not? [07:45] of** [07:45] shiraj: i will explain, both my laptop n desktop are connected to one modem...my ISP has given me 2 connectors... a normal RJ45 kind of cable which i connect to the laptop[XP] coz it has inbuilt modem, and then there is one USB cable which i use to connect to the ubuntu desktop [07:45] codeyman: so how can I make it work? [07:46] shiraj: so now i just want to connect my laptop+desktop to transfer files [07:46] quibbler: no idea, the PC's not mine [07:46] will that be possible [07:46] phix: get the 64 bit binaries [07:46] if you faithfully install all updates requested you never have to do a big one, right? [07:46] markupdude: why dont you set up file sharing [07:46] codeyman: but I have a 64bit CPU which supports 32bit binaries [07:46] markupdude: what do you need to xfer between computers? [07:47] codeyman: I cant make the 64bit binaries because make-jpkg fails [07:47] shiraj: before that setting i am confused what should i connect to what? like both the computers are connected to the same modem, via different sorts of cables, and the IP is dynamic [07:47] phix: what are you trying to do [07:47] shiraj: and i have 1 1 empty ports available on both the laptop , desktop, the thinner phone line kinda port [07:47] markupdude: you can probably set the local IPs to be static and set up a local network [07:48] monstah: hmm.. that one might have been a bit wrong.. here's what bash uses to set the title.. echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD/$HOME/~}\007 [07:48] codeyman: I am trying to build a deb package from java's JDK version 1.4 bins [07:48] the answer - not documented anywhere btw, was -0 within gnome-rdp [07:48] codeyman: I want to have a JDK 1.4 installation as well as a JDK 1.6 [07:48] shiraj: so the cables that are using internet i can use them to transfer files or do i need extra cable [07:48] shiraj: i do have a crossover cable though, dunno if it will help :) [07:48] markupdude: yeah the wires you have should be good you jsut need to set up the software [07:49] shiraj: i see [07:49] phix: unless I'm mistaken.. you need 64bit version of files [07:49] ok then i will google more [07:49] codeyman: so I can't tell dpkg to force install? [07:49] markupdude: you could do crossover as a last resort but try setting up samba first [07:49] phix: no [07:49] samba..humm [07:49] codeyman: why? ubuntu has 32bit libraries too [07:49] phix: ubuntu has different repos for 64bit and 32bit [07:49] markupdude: can you check the ips of both the computers? [07:50] shiraj: yes 1 min [07:50] magicsrv, if it is 64 bits look here for more info: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=432295 [07:50] markupdude: they should be something like 192.168.x.x [07:51] codeyman: ok so how do I mangle a 32bit package to to be a 64bit package? [07:51] shiraj: they are like xxx.xx.204.4 and xxx.xx.202.47 [07:51] are the xxx.xx parts identical? [07:51] yea same [07:51] phix: I have no idea.. if pkg is difficult to find.. I would just compile from sources.. [07:51] phix: you would have to recompile it.. afaik there is no automatic way [07:52] how to check from terminal in which kernel version i`m running into [07:52] loller: uname -a [07:52] markupdude: try connecting to xxx.xx.1.1 from in a web browser [07:52] see if anything comes up [07:52] are you on the xp or ubuntu right now? [07:53] shiraj: keeps loading on both PCs... i am on the ubuntu one now [07:53] but xp laptop is ON besides me [07:53] how can i force a umount on a drive? (os states /media/USB is busy) [07:54] open a cmd terminal on the windows one and do ipconfig /all [07:54] haha okay so for anyone who was listening or anyone that cares, the way to get the nm-applet back up is to click 'add to panel' -> 'Notification Area' -> 'add' and poof, good as new [07:54] hossam: umount -f [07:54] shiraj: ok then [07:54] markupdude: and see what it says under gateway [07:55] shiraj: ok noticed.... u want me to compair that with ubuntu one? [07:56] markupdude: nah try connecting to that adress in the browser [07:56] ah [07:56] see if you get a password prompt or something [07:56] i try to apply a setfacl on the files within my mounted drive but get the error Operation not supported, I tried to add acl to the fstab entry and remount, but that didnt do it [07:56] what can i do [07:56] shiraj: it's like you're trying to get him to connect to a router that doesn't exist... [07:56] shiraj: keeps loading [07:56] thats wierd [07:57] yeah i figured it was a router [07:57] btw otherwise what is a good solution to connect/share net/file transfer between PCs/OSed [07:57] diff OSes [07:58] hello all, i tried to get rid of my proxy in ubuntu (8.04) but i don't manage to get rid of it totally... i tried the "usual" way (through system> [07:58] and i think buying that dial up modem was a waste [07:59] (through the gui, but i always need to explicitly export http_proxy=""> to [07:59] is there a light weight tasque like app for interfacing with google calendar? (that is not evolutoin or thunderbird)? like a widget for quickly adding new events? that works for ubuntu hardy? [07:59] markupdude: im assuming youre on a cable/dsl connection? [07:59] to be able to access the network properly [08:00] shiraj: yes [indian slow highspeed broadband ;)] [08:00] I plan on upggrading from asus EEE PC 901 to N10 J laptop .. will it be mostly as simple as copying my /home folder from one laptop to the other? [08:00] hello all, any experts with hdmi flash audio issues? === Nikon is now known as DexTerDDiT [08:00] shiraj: its a solid cable, plus TV [08:00] markupdude: you could get a cheapo router and hook up both pcs to that [08:00] i heard getting a router will solve evrything [08:01] how can I mount the partition, that my ubuntu 8,10 intreped is installed inside windows on? [08:01] markupdude: lol yeah i was assuming you were connected to one [08:01] shiraj: hummmm just a bit confused like how would i use it [08:01] markupdude: hook the modem to the internet port on the router and connect the 2 pcs to the lan ports [08:01] shiraj: heh he .... like if i get a router... i will connect my modem given by ISP to the router via [08:02] shiraj: i see [08:02] can i set the acl mount option to a vfat mounted drive? [08:02] markupdude: then set up samba and windows file sharing [08:02] can someone please help me [08:02] with finding my scanner [08:02] shiraj: humm sounds much much easier [08:03] markupdude: yeah its not too hard [08:03] Hi! I have ubuntu 8,10 intreped installed inside windows on my second partition of the hdd0, can anyone tell me how to mount that drive in order to access files on it? [08:03] shiraj: oh btw my desktop does not have a modem...its currently using the USB option to connect to net...so when i get a router again i have to buy another modem for the PC [this dial up is of no use?] [08:04] markupdude: you need a NIC card not a modem [08:04] magicsrv : windows won't see the linux partition, if you're talking about dual boot and want to access your linux partition from windows. i tried this myself. my solution was to create a "data" partition and put all the shared files in it. [08:05] anyone have issues with intrepid and flash - video is fine but no audio? [08:05] there is a ext3 driver for windows that ive had success with [08:05] moza: the exact opposite - I want to access the windows partition, that I installed ubuntu on === jan_banan is now known as janbanan [08:05] markupdude: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2002810000+40000027&Configurator=&Subcategory=-1&description=&Ntk=&SpeTabStoreType=0&srchInDesc= [08:05] any of those [08:05] can: I have that after todays update [08:05] shiraj: damn i went to the store with thing in mind [just an interface/device which has a hole to attach the RJ45 cable] but asked for a modem instead :( [08:05] shiraj: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:05] oops [08:06] can: after a little experimentation it seems padsp isn't working as it should... haven't found a solution to that yet [08:06] magicsrv, http://www.fs-driver.org/ [08:06] shiraj: i have a similar thing ! [08:06] slart: most of the forum stuff i've been reading suggests to take out pulseaudio altogether [08:07] slart: and install esound [08:07] can: that seems kind of backwards.. I'd rather try to fix pulseaudio [08:07] magicsrv, then you only need to mount (the command mount) the partition, like any other partition. But i don't understand how you installed linux ON the windows partition? [08:07] moza: it's ubuntu installed with wubi ;) Inside Windows [08:07] slart: Is flash the only thing you have issues with? [08:08] shiraj: like this http://img.alibaba.com/photo/200068309/Computer_Fax_Modem_SmartLink_chipset_.jpg [08:08] moza: could you give me a specific cmd? [08:08] slart: my issue is just flash. [08:08] "mount" is the command [08:08] can: yes.. everything else seems to work [08:08] slart: vlc, mplayer works fine [08:08] anyway will see if i can get a router [08:08] i have a headless box running gnome that i want to use from my laptop, i must be able to logon, what software will i need on client and server side [08:08] can: yup.. everything that uses pulseaudio natively works fine [08:08] magicsrv, you usually use it as : mount /dev/partition_desired /media/mount_point [08:08] markupdude: thats not the right one, make sure it says 10/100 ethernet === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:09] moza: I suppose mount/dev/D: /media/D won't work, but I'll try it [08:09] is there a way to encrypt my hard drive and all communications from my computer? [08:09] shiraj: humm it does not say 10/100 anywhere on the box too... i think i will just trash it heh he [08:09] magicsrv: is your windows partition ntfs? [08:10] no, you have to define to which name under the /dev directory corresponds your D: [08:10] slart: do you have flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound installed? [08:10] shiraj: yes, and I have ubuntu installed ON it inside windows [08:10] magicsrv: you need to do mount -t ntfs-3g what where [08:10] can: nope, I use the flash 10 beta from adobe labs [08:11] if windows is the first partition it should be /dev/sda1 i think [08:11] Can anyone please help me with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/111158/ I am trying to upgrade to the new kernel in Intrepid Ibex (amd64) [08:11] moza: I can't access it how can I mount it when I don't have access to it? shiraj and what would be "what" when I don't have any access to the partition under ubuntu? [08:11] not too sure bout that [08:11] slart: what version is that? do you have a link for it? [08:11] can: hey hey hey.. it just started working now.. not sure what I did though.. hmmm [08:12] can: sure.. hang on [08:12] if I change my timezone in a system do I need to restart the syslogd [08:12] can: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [08:12] magicsrv, under /dev are all the partitions that you detect, but that you may not be able to use or see, since they are not mounted. but if you are sure that none of the devices listed in /dev/ is your D: then the problem is different [08:13] slart: don't see the 32 bit version [08:13] moza: let me check that out and will tell yu [08:13] *you [08:13] can: oh.. my bad.. I run 64 bit [08:13] can: I think you can just get it by using any of the "get flash" links [08:13] (you may want to try to mount all the devices listed under a directory you create for the occasion, like /media/try/ [08:14] slart: that's where i got the version i have installed right now. === JackWinter_ is now known as JackWinter [08:15] can: then you probably have the newest version already [08:15] moza: don't see it anywhere... [08:16] did you try to mount what you have to see if the partition isn't hidden behind an unclear name? [08:17] magicsrv: its says that it automatically moutns the windows partition under /host and /media [08:17] check there [08:17] i have a headless box running gnome that i want to use from my laptop, i must be able to logon, what software will i need on client and server side === tuna is now known as tuna-fish [08:17] hi there - when updating the kernel, I chose the wrong option (kept my custom menu.lst) - where can I get the proper menu.lst from now? [08:17] shiraj: nothing there. It just mounts the first part of the hdd - the first windows partition - C:... the partition ubuntu is installed on is not mounted... [08:17] nightrid3r: ssh is one way.. or vnc.. or freenx [08:18] hey all [08:18] I need some advice [08:18] Slart: ok i'll try [08:18] shiraj: I thing I found it, thanks for the help. U2 moza [08:18] where was it [08:18] nightrid3r: you might be able to do something cool with X too.. but I'm not familiar enough with it to give you any good advice about it [08:18] I have 2 HDD and already have Vista installed on 1 and I want to install Ubuntu on the other [08:18] and dual boot [08:19] I notice in looking over ubuntu's directory structure, that the traditional /usr/src/linux symbolic link isn't in /usr/src at all. All I see are header files for the various kernels I'm running or have upgrade from. Why is this/ [08:19] ? [08:19] setfacl: operation not supported, can anyone help? [08:19] 1. is it possible, 2. what are the risks of stuffing up my vista install [08:19] would anyone in here be able to help me with a problem in my hosts file? [08:19] Joe-C, 1) yes it is possible, 2) if your partitions are already made, i would say the risks are minimum [08:19] Joe-C: yes, it's possible and the risk is wiping the MBR on the vista install. [08:20] MBR? [08:20] Master Boot Record, the part that tells it to boot vista. [08:20] shiraj, i'm not sure i can help but what is your exact problem? [08:20] ok [08:21] it would be best to point your BIOS to the ubuntu disk. [08:21] neosimago: how can I minimize this risk [08:21] anyone have a successful Intrepid install with HDMI out ? [08:21] then have GRUB point multiple boot points, including vista. [08:21] well im setting up samba and just to make it look nicer im assigning hostnames to all the computers on my lan [08:22] the first one works fine i added 192.168.1.2 and gave it a name [08:22] neosimago, isn't that the default behavior when using a classical installation with a disk? [08:22] and that one i can connect to by just putting the name, not the ip [08:22] ok [08:22] but the other computer on 192.168.1.5 wont do that [08:22] is GRUB installed with ubuntu or is it a seperate app [08:22] that one is a windows xp though [08:22] sorry for my newb'ness [08:23] i can connect to it if i specify the ip but not if i put the hostname i gave it [08:23] Joe-C, it was installed by default for me [08:23] Joe-C: it's installed by the ubuntu installer.. but I guess it's really optional.. you can use lilo or something else if you really want [08:23] i don't rely on any classical behaviors with computers. -- i just make sure my BIOS points to the disk, and remember where it is in /dev/ [08:23] I have a question, Im downloading KDE, i'm a gnome user. if i don't like kde how do i swtich back to gnome and delete kde [08:24] grub is installed after you select the partitions to install ubuntu. [08:24] slart: I will use whatever is easiest and won't kill my vista install [08:24] however, it would be wise to select the same disk, is the point mentioned here. [08:24] !puregnome | quentin [08:24] quentin: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 ; sudo apt-get remove kdelibs5 ; sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » [08:24] shiraj : i don't know how to help, sorry [08:24] quentin, you can pick session type from login menu [08:24] moza hah its ok [08:24] ok =) thanks [08:24] moza its just bugging me a lot nothing serious though [08:25] for example, if ubuntu is on sdb2, have grub point to sdb as an install point. [08:26] what's bugging me is my proxy... [08:27] proxies bug me too. [08:27] !who | neosimago [08:27] neosimago: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[08:33] moza: export http_proxy="" <== place this in your global bash rc script. == along with ftp_proxy, rsync_proxy, x_proxy. [08:33] codeyman: hm.. nope.. unless you find a more specific error message.. I think you've covered all the usual stuff === steffen_ is now known as Steff === steffen_ is now known as Steff [08:34] neosimago, ok, i'll do that. what would be the classical global bash rc script? [08:35] moza: i believe the global bash.rc script in ubuntu is /etc/bash.bashrc [08:35] Slart: I dont see any specific error message in dmesg either.. anyway I can manually delete any lock key or some file causing it to reevaluate? [08:36] codeyman: there might be.. but I wouldn't really know where to look [08:37] neosimago, thanks a lot, i'll try this (though i find it a little dirty, but if it finally works... ) [08:37] oh ok.. i'look further.. i have already waste 2 days.. maybe should just reinstall [08:37] linux == as long as it works... === john is now known as Guest22678 [08:39] hola [08:39] Hi, is here any pure-ftpd user/ [08:39] ? [08:40] hey, could you give me those commands for removing KDE again, and then i need help installing the lastest version of kde [08:41] breta: what do you want to do with pure-ftpd? === sean is now known as Guest1879 [08:42] neosimago: I'm wondering how can add more files in /dev directory for client - I need add /dev/null [08:43] how do i remove KDE completely [08:44] breta: i thought /dev/null was included as part of a default set of devices in linux.

[09:02] Steff i`m not sure my problem is from other kind i`m looking to correct the problem witch i have with ettercap compiler and i`m trying to remove from manually installed one [09:02] Hey, does anyone know of some software that copies a DVD completely (Menus and all)? [09:02] d0netsFN: configure a connection manually by adding the Ip's and dns. cant get a connection even in that way ? [09:02] What is nvidia kernel module problem? [09:02] I'd like to backup my dvds with their menus... [09:03] ping : l'm using 7.04 Feisty Fawn [09:03] its not showing options to upgrade to 8.10 [09:03] any known issues ?? [09:03] loller, Ah, okay.. well... the syntax --purge should remove the program completely and the .conf files... [09:03] Hey, does anyone know of some software that copies a DVD completely (Menus and all)? [09:04] loller, in my project about man in the middle attack i also have to work with ettercap, in which scenario do you use it? [09:04] KungfuJoe: try sudo apt-get install k9copy. i heard that is good. i havent tried it [09:04] the update tab in Software Sources does not have upgrade option [09:04] KungfuJoe: download the source of K3B and compile it to with libcss and all the gimics to do DVD copying to your joy in an apt package. [09:05] neosimago: K3B...is that the name of the app? [09:05] KungfuJoe: the main issue is that ubuntu is limiting it's distributions to not include these things because of legal issues. [09:06] KungfuJoe: yes, however, if you install it using the regular apt-get, you won't be able to do what you're looking to do. [09:06] Well, on the record, I'd just like to backup my DVDs with their menus in tact [09:06] k9copy KungfuJoe [09:06] bazhang: it doesn't look like k9 keeps the menus [09:06] Steff i simple want to compile binary filter and drop some packages from test user from my subnet but the problem is that i can`t compile it i get TARGET (test.filter) contains invalid chars ! [09:06] yea that didnt work [09:06] try first k9copy KungfuJoe, and if you want the glam of funtionality, compile your own K3b like I do . === ross__ is now known as rkd === rkd is now known as rpk [09:06] whats the right syntax for a get request i can send via telnet: get http://www.ebay.com http/1.0 ;; doesnt seem to be working! :9 [09:07] Steff and i`m pretty this is not syntax error `cause it will show me on witch line is the error [09:07] Ok, thank you everybody [09:07] Hi i just did a security update with kernel 2.6.27-11-generic I got a few warnings like : DKMS tree must be manually fixed anybody know how to fix this? [09:07] catch you later === john is now known as Guest69074 [09:07] loller, okay, i think you're right, so you wanna delete ettercap and reinstall it? [09:09] Steff yes i suppose this will help but i have very weak knowledges in packages of linux and when i enter locate ettercap it shows me bunches of directories with name "ettercap" [09:09] /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms is there but var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8-4/source/dkms.conf is missing.... [09:10] anyone know a good editor there you can open up a few textfiles at startup? [09:11] Steff so i just don`t know i find a source file written in c http://www.sfr-fresh.com/unix/privat/ettercap-NG-0.7.3.tar.gz:a/ettercap-NG-0.7.3/utils/etterlog/el_target.c [09:11] loller, yeah, i just did the same, there is a lot of crap.. :S [09:11] Steff line 53 is suppose to be the error "53 FATAL_ERROR("TARGET contains invalid chars !");" [09:12] loller, try "locate *.mp3 | grep " or in your case locate *.c | grep [09:13] loller, im sorry, but i cant help you with the c code, but it sounds like you have a string or varibel wrong defined... [09:14] loller, but have you tried "sudo apt-get remove --purge ettercap" and search for files again... [09:14] i know C [09:14] Steff i think best solution in my case will new installed ettercap [09:14] if you need something [09:14] hi, what is the best (fastest) method for getting ubuntu install of multiple systems? [09:15] gogl, /msg ubottu automate [09:16] hi guys [09:16] i want to setup hosts so that *.loc go to localhost. is it possible? then from apache2 configuration, i ll direct to different website-folder [09:16] related to my problem sudo dkms install -m fglrx -v 8-4 -k 2.6.27-9-generic is not there [09:16] tarimari: IIRC, you can already use *.local [09:16] tarimari: no, hold on. [09:16] Myrtti: how i can do this setup? [09:17] tarimari: what's wrong with http://localhost/ ? [09:17] Myrtti: i want to have multiple installations - domains. like domain1.loc domain2.loc [09:17] right [09:17] what right? [09:17] :) [09:18] tarimari: I assume it would in that case work like domain.localhost [09:18] how can i do that? [09:18] tarimari: but, I'm not really that knowledgeable with apache2 [09:18] i dont ask about apache, i know about it. i m asking about linux networking. /etc/hosts etc? i dont know what exactly === apc_ is now known as Peddyt [09:19] How would I make a command run every 10 seconds? [09:20] while true; do command; sleep 10; done; [09:20] Peddyt: cronjob may help you. i cant help you configuring that but crons will do that. maybe try : man cron in a terminal [09:20] tamari put this in /etc/hosts : 192.168.1.xx domain1.loc domain1 [09:21] ip should match your local ip: see: sudo ifconfig [09:21] Peddyt: you can have any number of commands between do and done, just separate them with either newlines or ; [09:21] albuntu, isn't there a simple bash solution? Someone gave it to me once, but I lost it :P. Something to do with executing, then sleeping, then looping back to the start. [09:22] Peddyt, Chousuke gave you this solution :) [09:22] Chousuke, the ideal solution would be to just loop, rather than just executing something in a linear way. [09:22] Peddyt: that loops. [09:22] Peddyt: look at Chousuke [09:22] he told you that [09:22] Peddyt, while is a loop === lance_ is now known as Guest65546 [09:23] Peddyt: u've pretty much described the inner workings on crontab [09:23] Chousuke, I don't know how do and done works, so after 'done' would it just do 'do ' again? [09:23] why my traceroute tool can't work, after install cheops ?? [09:23] Peddyt: "while" causes it to jump back to the "do" part and it'll restart execution there. [09:24] every site route just show ** ** ** [09:24] Peddyt, you have to just replace "do command" with the command you want to execute [09:24] moza: just the command part, though. [09:24] the do is necessary [09:24] Chousuke, true, i forgot that ... sorry [09:25] yahoo.com [09:25] for example, you could: while true; do echo "yay"; echo "more yay"; sleep 10; done [09:25] hi [09:25] hi [09:25] anyone knows what happen when i try to transfer a file from one drive to another [09:25] and it gives me the error [09:25] Operation not suported [09:26] Thanks Chousuke, moza. [09:26] i have umount and mounted using ntfs-3g [09:26] pls advise [09:26] mib: IIRC ntfs-3g can refuse operations if it thinks they're unsafe. [09:26] mib: how are u transfering? [09:26] im trying to do a simple cp or mv [09:26] even a simple touch [09:27] doesnt allow [09:27] mib: are you sure it's mounted with ntfs-3g? [09:27] mib: from where to where? [09:27] im using an xternal hard disk drive [09:27] mib: it might be the old ntfs driver instead. [09:28] mib: where are u executing from? [09:28] inside the fs [09:28] im actually trying to compile a C program inside [09:28] it has output [09:28] mib: what is the fs type and the ext hdd fs type? [09:28] but it cant write out [09:28] how can i check dayo [09:29] mib: u're trying to output to the ext hdd? [09:29] yeah [09:29] im trying to output to a file [09:29] a quick question : how do i see the env variables? [09:29] ./a.out> out [09:29] mib: type: mount [09:29] mib: in your terminal [09:29] ya [09:29] /dev/sdb3 on /mnt/ntfs type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096) [09:30] which is the one i mounted earlier on [09:30] dude i think im gonna puke after a day of fuzzing with ubuntu [09:30] and still not having my scanner problem fixed [09:31] Hey, could someone help me with getting GD2 support please? [09:31] so u're trying to copy from ubuntu (ext3) to an external ntfs filesystem [09:31] is there anyone out there who knows how to make my scanner printer work? [09:31] nope. [09:31] (found it myself... just the "env" command) [09:31] dayo , im trying to copy the output to an external file within the fs [09:31] this is why ubuntu cannot compare to windwos yet [09:32] i guess its not meant for artists [09:32] mib: ok, u're copying from within ubuntu to another spot within ubuntu? [09:32] isaak: scanners are plug n play in ubuntu [09:33] isaak: Start XSane Image Scanner [09:33] ya [09:33] How can I change a default kernel to boot? [09:34] mib: i don't get how the external comes into play, though. what are the directories u're copying from/to? did u check the permissions? [09:34] yea.i checked..all rwx [09:34] hello all. I have been learning how to configure an ftp on ubuntu server. Finally got connected via gftp on my ubuntu laptop. I cannot seem to find out why my hdd is not showing up under media on the server. Any clues? [09:34] hi guys, im trying to run apt-get install snmpd mrtg apache2 to install and get mrtg up and running [09:34] the reason i have external is because my current ubuntu is lack of space [09:34] it says snmpd isn't a package tho?! [09:35] so i plug my xhdd and chuck all the files there [09:35] and trying to run from there [09:35] mib: paste the exact command u're using [09:35] ethos: have you looked in synaptic to see if it exists in the list. If not check if you require to add a repository to have it appear [09:35] i just did ..touch foo in the fs [09:35] touch: cannot touch `foo': Operation not supported [09:37] mib: u're executing touch on the external ntfs? [09:37] yeah [09:37] since i cant even do a > to a new file [09:40] mib: hang on [09:41] Do I need to remove Evolution mail if I prefer to use Thunderbird? [09:41] vigo no [09:41] :) [09:41] vigo: no [09:41] Thank you [09:41] Hello all. Anyone know the best way to work out why my cron job isn't firing? (I'm on JeOS btw). [09:42] trying to fdisk -l via putty to server and error is "cannot open /dev/sda cannot open /dev/sdb" Whats happening? [09:44] good morning everyone [09:44] morning [09:44] Good mornig Abracadabra [09:45] mib: try to copy something that is larger than 1KB [09:45] hmm.same problem [09:46] mib: is it possible for u to reformat the external to fat32 or even ext3? [09:46] * lllama installs cron and sees whether that makes a difference.... [09:47] is there a way for me to specify in which workspace i would like to open a new application, via the command line? [09:47] any idea why fdisk -l would not report [09:49] brb [09:49] hi is rsync on gvfs mounts fixed in latest gvfs/gio/fuse ? [09:50] I find it weird is it so difficult to find this piece of information . The problem is old [09:50] Is there a cache manager, like a dns flush? Or is that another terminal thing I need to learn? [09:51] vigo, as far as I recall if you have not installed a dedicated software (nscd or such) there is no such thing as a dns cache enabled by default on linux [09:51] Thank you [09:52] mib: u still there? [09:52] Hey guys. How would I go about setting up my wireless network in ubuntu? How do I install the drivers for the network card etc. [09:53] I am still re-learning , I thank you kindly for the help, have a wonderful moment. [09:54] !drivers [09:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about drivers [09:55] anyone know abt audio streaming? [09:55] Gauntlet, Hmm, most of the NIC works out of the box, but try System -> Administration - Hardware Drivers [09:56] hey anyone active [09:56] nope, no-one at all [09:56] gandhii [09:56] a recent update has resulted me booting into low graphics mode [09:56] Gauntlet, If your wireless card works you can click on the screens at the right upper corner at enable wireless and the see the lists of wifis... [09:56] Steff, well lets pretend the drivers are installed for it and I should just be able to enter the details of the wifi network but it never connects to it [09:56] i renabled the hardware drivers but no good [09:56] !details | nbuntu [09:56] nbuntu: Please give us full details.

[11:28] puneeth, from the command line, whereis flock [11:29] puneeth, can you tell where it's installed?

[11:31] Hikeractive; got it from www.getdeb.net [11:31] what is so interesting about flock i just did a search on it but the features seem the sam [11:32] anyone here familiar with xvesa? how to disable ctrl+alt+backspace (something comparable to DontVTSwitch) in x.org? [11:32] puneeth, do you have a /usr/lib/flock/? [11:32] Does the Intel Dual Core E2140 CPU and Intel Accelorator 950 work well with Ubuntu, at least for a desktop, and/or server?

[11:33] Hikeractive; it doesnt exist [11:34] puneeth, give me a sec please. [11:34] DamienCassou: [11:34] sekyourbox: which keyboard shortcut settings? [11:34] J-_: I have an Atom based PC and afaik it has the intel gma 950.

[11:36] DamienCassou: let me know if it works for you also [11:36] fxcp, edit>> keyboard shortcuts... [11:36] Shock: it works, thank you :-). It is a bit different than what I had in hardy [11:37] jarco: the problem may be that i have ubuntu 8.0.4 and not 8.10? [11:37] ok..i checked my user permissions...everything is checked.. aplay -l doesnt recognize my sound card... BUT lspci -i does...it says 'access restricted' under it..why would it say that? [11:37] DamienCassou: glad I could help [11:37] idd [11:37] therootest, i just found that out :d [11:37] spring_morning: maybe you disabled it on Bios set up ?? [11:37] Shock: should I add that to a session script? [11:37] jarco: lol [11:37] spring_morning: i mean is onboard audio ? [11:38] jarco: is there such thing as cube in 8.0.4? [11:38] ubuntu 8.04 support and i7 based box? [11:38] therootest, anyhow u will need to find that and then select compiz over your current [11:38] puneeth, sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/* /usr/share/flock/plugins/ [11:38] sekyourbox: you mean xvesa? xvesa is the lightweight x.org. didnt even find any config files for it. [11:38] DamienCassou: no, i just made you run that command to make sure the proper layout was selected :) [11:38] and yes therootest i have seen it on 8.04 [11:38] erUSUL: it's a soundblaster...so i dont think its onboard (sorry im new to this all) [11:38] DamienCassou: in case you had something else selected and didn't realise it [11:38] damn kde 3.5:p [11:38] jarco: isnt there an command to select compiz over the current? [11:39] DamienCassou: for all intents and purposes it should work out of the box if you have selected the proper layout in the gnome interface [11:39] therootest, i would not know that sorry [11:39] puneeth, make sure to restart flock [11:39] Is there a browser cache on a linux server, and how can I clear it? [11:39] DamienCassou: as long as you press the right key combo [11:39] spring_morning: then my theory does not apply ... [11:39] tapwag: Nice. That's good to hear. I think once I get a new hard drive(current one is failing vista says) I'm going to turn the dual core machine into a LAMP server. Once that is accomplished I'm going to also create some local repositories. Not sure if the Intel Dual Core based server has WOL or not. [11:39] would be nice [11:39] Shock: the key combo changed between hardy and intrepid it seems [11:39] jarco: thank you very much :) [11:40] hmmmmm [11:40] DamienCassou: might be the case [11:40] sekyourbox: you mean xmodmap` [11:40] ? [11:40] WinterWeaver: if you use a browser there is and is in ~/.mozilla/ of each user and you clear it from firefox [11:40] does anyone know how to install compiz on ubuntu 8.0.4? [11:40] therootest, try this http://www.johs.nu/node/20 [11:40] therootest, apt-get install compiz [11:40] fxcp, sorry I dont know anything bout that [11:41] Hikeractive; thanks its working [11:41] it is very strange. it's bugging me. i dont understand why aplay doesnt recognize it, lspci does but says access restricted, and im not getting any sound [11:41] YankDownUnder: i did. now, how i make it work over the current? [11:41] and it all worked fine yesterday...i havent installed anything new... its trippy [11:41] therootest: it comes installed by default; you anly have to enable it in System>Preferences>Appearance|Effects Tab [11:41] therootest, ALT-F2 => compiz --replace [11:41] puneeth, you're welcome :) [11:41] erUSUL just found out from the person I'm helping, its a server hosting a site... they uploaded a new site, and it's not updating. [11:42] WinterWeaver: so you refering to apache the server... i'm not really versed about apache... have they tried to restart apache ? [11:42] YankDownUnder: the prompt says that compiz --replace couldnt be executed. [11:42] anyone else? im sure it's something very simple that I'm missing here [11:42] erUSUL: there is no such menu in kubuntu 8.0.4? [11:43] therootest, Then it's not properly installed... [11:43] erUSUL that's what I'm trying to get him to do now... [11:43] therootest: well i'm talking about plain ubuntu ask in #kubuntu [11:43] thanks, guys! :) [11:43] Shock: thank you very much for you help [11:44] DamienCassou: you're most welcome [11:44] is there an easy way to replace a config file in /etc with the default one? [11:44] is there a way to limit ls -lt to, say, 10 responses [11:45] what is good vidio editing software on kubuntu/ubuntu? It needs to be able to put music tracks under the video and to make text go on and off screen. (like the many blue youtube text thingies :d) [11:46] ok..i checked my user permissions...everything is checked.. aplay -l doesnt recognize my sound card... BUT lspci -i does...it says 'access restricted' under it..why would it say that? [11:47] can you use gftp to move files rather then copy them? [11:47] excuse me, *lspci -v [11:47] 'access denied' ? im not sure why it says that or how to edit it [11:47] greenfuji, probably in the options somewhere [11:49] hi there fresh meat here need help setting up suspend mode on my msi laptop [11:49] !sudo | spring_morning [11:49] spring_morning: 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) [11:49] mchelen: I would have thought so but cannot find anything. Could be down to unusual naming but no option looks like it changes copy to move. Is gftp one of the better ftp programs or is there something else? === Juliiiie is now known as antoine[maison] [11:50] Joy, updated my MythTV system, now it does't load audio drivers for my MCP51 based motherboard [11:50] greenfuji, gftp is pretty good, it should be in there, you can try kftpgrabber or filezilla, also the command line ftp has move option [11:51] bonhoffer: there are lots of options to adjust the output. For example, pipe your ls command throug less, tail or head ("ls -alt | less" or "ls -alt | tail -10") [11:52] I have two versions of a library on my system. One in /usr/lib and another in /usr/local/lib another library is improperly linked to the /usr/lib version. I want it linked to the /usr/local/lib version... is there a way to force that? [11:52] hi guys, slightly off-topic but need some help [11:53] I have a disk (Maxtor 160GB root) throwing up disk errors regularly.. before I bin as a faulty drive I wanted to make sure my setup is not causing it.. I have 2 SATA drives in the system, both are showing as masters on channels 1 and 2 respectively.. the other is 320GB.. 1) does it matter they are both showing as master.. 2) does it matter which channel they are on? [11:54] incidently, the 320GB is mounted as /home [11:55] what is good vidio editing software on kubuntu/ubuntu? It needs to be able to put music tracks under the video and to make text go on and off screen. (like the many blue youtube text thingies :d) [11:55] greenfuji, well, im not able to find it in gftp or kftpgrabber so far, its also called delete after copy [11:55] perlmonkey: you could boot from a livecd with only one hard drive plugged in at a time. That would eliminate the "is two masters making it crazy" question. [11:56] perlmonkey: and test the sanity of the harddrives that way [11:56] perlmonkey, that sounds fine, you could pull the good drive, put the suspect drive in its place, and check if its still causing errors [11:57] the causes are 1) hard drive 2) controller card / channel 3) bad cable 4) bad / dying power supply [11:57] phew [11:57] so it could be a number of factors [11:57] or any one of them [11:57] the motherboard and PSU are brand new I built the system myself [11:58] jarco, try kino, jahshaka, or just search the applications add/remove for video editor [11:58] ok mchelen [11:58] bbb [11:58] perlmonkey, there is always a chance, depends on exact errors [11:58] the Maxtor hard drive was ex-stock and came with 3 months warranty only, but was new and unused [11:58] I can give you an example of some errors [11:58] mchelen: at least you confirmed Im not nuts in not seeing the option in gftp. Looks like it is copy accross then delete manually. either that or comand line [11:59] perlmonkey, you can check system monitors for power supply voltage, cpu temp, that kind of thing [12:00] greenfuji, you could use a normal file copy operation with the curlftpfs fuse module [12:00] greenfuji, or just mount the ftp in nautilus [12:01] actually i can't, heh typical it hasn't done it today yet..hardly a day goes by it doesn't throw up errors and at least once a week it completely locks up and often does not boot again until after many attempts [12:01] perlmonkey, look for any specific info about errors, and check all system monitors for something unusual [12:01] is that your system hd? [12:01] it seems to be a read access error at sector level and fsck always has to carry out massive repairs to filesystem [12:01] I broke Vista so I am install it again and I have Ubuntu on it too . How do I fix grub/install it again so I can go back to dual booting. Ubuntu sets up grub so nice for all that . [12:01] yes [12:02] hey, I'd like to add a script for mounting some drives over sshfs automatically whenever the network comes up, and unmount when it goes down, could someone tell me where I should put these scripts? [12:02] perlmonkey, id do a fresh install on the known good disk, and then perform tests on the suspect one [12:02] good idea [12:03] looks like I will have to be buy those new replacement drives I had planned to buy then anyway, as I have too much data on the 2nd drive [12:03] hi guys [12:03] !dualboot [12:03] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [12:03] oh well at least i will know what the state of the suspect drive and if its ok i can offload it on ebay [12:03] I think i've setup mrtg properly but I can't see anything on the index properly [12:03] !dualboot | tarelerulz [12:03] tarelerulz: please see above [12:04] it shows now graphs and the links to the device html file isn't there [12:04] any ideas? [12:06] is there any way to manually install the latest nvidia drivers AND keep the restricted-modules ? [12:07] mchelen, I have Ubuntu setting just like I want it . Is there just way to have the install cd rewrite/install grub and not whip the drive. [12:08] tarelerulz, sure, just reinstall grub [12:08] hello, I've got an Intel 82566DM-2 NIC, which has got a wrong MAC address after a BIOS update. it uses the 1000e driver. Somebody know if it's possible to rewrite the EEPROM with ethtool on such cards? [12:09] howtoo: ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:80:48:BA:d1:20 [12:10] tarelerulz, check out the section on restoring grub, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot?action=show&redirect=WindowsDualBootHowTo#Recovering%20GRUB%20after%20reinstalling%20Windows [12:10] hello i need to backup a 8gb dvd movie into 2 disks of 4gb. is there any program i can use for it? [12:10] mariooliveira, do you want the disks to play on dvd players? [12:10] yes [12:11] mchelen: thank you. mounted the drives through samba and using file browser [12:11] ifconfig does not write to EEPROM as far as I know [12:11] mchelen, thanks a lot . That is just what I am looking for . It is people like you are what make Linux great. people help people [12:12] mchelen, 8gb dvd are expensive lol === rider is now known as Guest28386 [12:12] mariooliveira, it might be easier to compress it a little for 1 disc [12:12] 5 or 10 4gb dvd cost the same as 1 8gb [12:13] mchelen, does it plays on normal dvd players? [12:13] greenfuji, cool, nautilus can use ftp for gui, and if you want to use another standalone program, then the ftp fuse mount will work [12:14] mchelen, or how can i cut a dvd movie in half? [12:14] mchelen: how can i test the security of my samba server and ftp server? [12:15] is there a way i can get thunderbird to display one inbox for multiple accounts? [12:15] tarelerulz, sure well you know someone has always run into that problem before, and it helps me to learn more too ;) [12:15] mariooliveira, thats my understanding, one is http://k9copy.sourceforge.net/ there might be others [12:16] mchelen, thanks [12:16] mariooliveira, there might be some program with a split option, it sounds like that is more trouble than its worth though [12:16] greenfuji, security from what? [12:18] mchelen: the server is connected to the internet via a gateway for its updates, and there is an ubuntu laptop and windows htpc that have access to files on it. I want to be sure no unwanted wireless users can join in or users over the net. [12:18] balrog__, maybe if they are pop: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Global_Inbox [12:19] greenfuji, you have to secure your wireless with encryption [12:19] mchelen: is it possible if they are imap? === c is now known as Charitwo [12:21] balrog__, the closest thing might be http://kb.mozillazine.org/Saved_Search [12:21] wat is the best firewall u think is better so I can manage websites which to open which not and make clients in groups which to open which, and if we can use time limits [12:22] hy [12:22] vlc is on hardy proposed category ? [12:22] or on hardy backports? [12:22] greenfuji, the gateway & firewall are most important for internet security, are you exposing the ftp or samba servers to outside traffic? [12:22] yesterday i had a kernel upgrade to 2.6.27-11-generic and today i see it is downloading the same linux-image. why is this? [12:22] tavi, which version of vlc? [12:23] i have 086e [12:23] and doesnt upgrade at all to the latest version [12:23] so i think if hardy proposed and hardy backports isn't cheked do not work ..... [12:23] wat is the best firewall u think is better so I can manage websites which to open which not and make clients in groups which to open which, and if we can use time limits [12:24] ? [12:24] anyone? [12:24] i'm getting this message on startup: http://img300.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshootcp8.png [12:24] can someone help me with it? [12:25] tavi, if you want version 0.9, you can upgrade to intrepid, or use a .deb or ppa [12:25] forget itreprind [12:26] i want to upgrade the vlc cause crashes wen i wanna see something [12:26] why not upgrade the distro [12:26] does disk cache have any real significant impact on disk performance? like 8mb v 16mb? [12:26] gksudo better [12:27] perlmonkey, yes, although it depends on usage [12:27] cause take time and i do not want [12:27] perlmonkey: depends on what you're doing. I don't think you'll see much of a difference in 8 vs 16 though [12:27] rpm and seek time are also important [12:27] perlmonkey, from the reviews/benchmarks ive seen.. it depends.. and for most cases.. once ya get above a set point. it dont matter much [12:28] yeah its not the most important thing [12:28] well for me is [12:28] tavi, but it is not normal for vlc to crash... the 0.8 version did work well, maybe you can fix it removing and reinstalling the same version [12:28] tavi, well it saves you time with vlc, because getting 0.9+ working in 8.04 is a hassle [12:28] yeah thats true too [12:28] perlmonkey: unless this is for a professional server... then I'd dig deeper to see which one's best for the application [12:29] great.... [12:29] try deleting ~/.vlc [12:29] maibe try uninstall from synaptic [12:29] or reinstall it, thats easy [12:30] Yay, apparently my fiddling with the restricted modules package lead to un-updated general modules, "update manager" fetched those anew, sound works again :-) [12:30] my box freezing when i use compiz effect.. anybody know why? i use radeon 1950 AGP, Athlon XP barton, and ubuntu untrepid === Jaspion is now known as JaspionBR [12:31] .

[12:52] I have a Dell Vostro 200 (Slim) and wanted to install ubuntu 8.10 on it, it gets to the first install screen, I select 'Install Ubuntu' and then goes black, any ideas?

[12:53] Slart: ok i installed it with dpkg -i (i'm on ssh on one of our servers) and no errors so far, so i guess it worked (dependencies n stuff) right? [12:53] Slart, under System->Preferences->Screen Resolution, I can mirror the displays or span them, but not deactivate one of them.

[12:58] remoteCTR1: well.. you'll need a webserver.. and snmp.. but if you really want to you can put the webserver on another machine and just gather the data [12:58] remoteCTR1: thanks. I must be confusing stuff. I'm already installing it. Anyway It seems the 50mb of my actual boot partition will be lost, right? [12:59] arthurmaciel: nope, of course not!

Being around rpms long enough, I know that it's generally a bad thing to update the kernel as opposed to installing it, so I have no qualms about that. But after a while, when I have 7 or 8 kernels hanging around, what's the best/most generally accepted way of getting rid of the older ones? So far, I've just been doing 'sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.24-22-generic', for e [13:10] xample. [13:10] Is there a better way or method? [13:10] cannonball: that sounds ok to me.. it's what I do [13:11] cannonball: you could use --purge to get rid of config files too [13:11] or you can manually delete them [13:11] isn't there some apt-get --autoclean or something [13:11] voland: then I think you would still have kernel modules and stuff hanging around [13:12] ezerhoden: i guess that's to clear the downloaded packages, which no longer required [13:12] ezerhoden, apt-get autoremove, but that is explicitely configured not to remove kernels [13:12] Gdmorning [13:12] ezerhoden: apt-get autoremove will remove uneeded packages.. apt-get clean will delete downloaded packages [13:12] good morning rainmanp7 === dYna is now known as basti [13:13] hey I'm trying to get this Cmedia headset working :) but in linux do I have to um reboot when i change sound devices etc.. ?

[13:14] prometheus77: hmm.. are you really sure firefox is using the courier font then? [13:14] prometheus77: it's not using some other replacement font? [13:15] Unfortunately wiki.ubuntu.com/X doesn't really give me much detail about 8.10 [13:15] Slart: hehe of course i do and thanks for the suggestion, always appreciate new ideas=) [13:15] I have a raid question.

[14:36] hurm [14:36] wait.. [14:36] Slart: ive found that this ugly font is n022003l.pfb from gsfonts package and 'fc-match courier' gives me 'n022003l.pfb: "Nimbus Mono L" "Regular"'. Do you know how to change this n022003l.pfb to, for example DejaVu Sans Mono? [14:37] lsx: i did purge and reinstall the driver, so it has the latest version available [14:37] lsx: however that still didnt resolve my issue [14:37] Can anyone think of a single command which will wipe partitions file systems off all disks on a system in Ubuntu? [14:37] I ran the update manager, and it was updating the kernel to version: 2.6.27-11-generic... and it finished downloading, and now it's installing, it's been installing for the past 3 hours or so... what's up with that? [14:37] i typed and it just goes to a new line smbpasswd username [14:37] mainly so the installer won't complain about there being an LVM spanned across two hardware devices [14:37] razor2006, for ur confirmation i solved my problem like you yesterday... sudo apt-get install pulseaudio [14:37] but in intrepid [14:38] nevermind, I found a hidden window on a different desktop.. lol.. [14:38] prometheus77: hmm.. I have no idea if firefox uses anything other than truetype fonts..and I have no idea how to switch fonts around if they are not the same type [14:38] which should I install: "adobe-flashplugin" or "flashplugin-nonfree"? flashplugin-nonfree seems to be not working. is it trully? [14:38] lsx: well pulseaudio is installed, alsa is installed, my problem is it's not detecting my sound card, and i know my card functions because it works in windoze (i run a dual boot box) [14:39] where do i start if tracker isn't indexing the emails in my evolution imap accounts, even though i asked it to very nicely? [14:39] rafaelscj, use nonfree. it works fine here [14:39] is it possible to triple-boot Ubuntu with Win and OS X on a Macbook? [14:39] razor2006, whats the name of ur soundcard? [14:39] carpii, isn't nonfree the version 9? [14:40] lsx: let me rephrase my last statement, the card itself is detected, its the sound driver that isnt detected.

[14:40] nenyalorien: tripple booting, dual booting, quadruple booting.. it's all the same.. I don't know how OS X works though..doesn't it use that other bios? [14:40] Dogwater you can whipe out your whole hd like : dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M first check out your partitions with: fdisk -l [14:40] "hi, how do i can know. which usb tv tuner works on linux?"

[14:43] carpii, doesn't do anything [14:43] CaneToad, drag it [14:43] s1ckb0y: smbpasswd I believe if for the reverse of what you're trying to do i.e. for another host to access your ubuntu smb shares. [14:43] Slart: I think Leopard comes with BootCamp, which allows for dual booting with Windows. :) [14:43] jaapvisser: i'm sorry, I just need to remove the partitions on any disks that may be present so that the ubuntu installer doesn't complain about there being lvm partitions spanning two disks [14:43] firefox doesn't open irc link with xchat....why?? [14:43] help me [14:43] irnodefn, hi [14:43] quibbler, I don't seem to be able to drag it, are you able to? [14:44] CaneToad, yes [14:44] Hey, does anyone know how to fix the screensaver if it is showing a double image? The best way to describe it is that it is like having 2 small monitors put together to make one, but it only happens in the screen saver. [14:44] Dogwater fdisk --help [14:44] nenyalorien: yup.. that sounds familiar.. does it play nice with grub? or it replaces grub?

[14:46] s1ckb0y: I've not been following your issue (so I may not have all the facts) but I'd try Gnome > Places > Connect To Server with a service type of Windows Share.

Has anyone tried it? [14:51] hey all :) [14:52] lsx: i've been trying to help a friend out with a similar issue and i think ive angered him with my overzealous attempts to assist in forcing him to redundantly try fixes, i think he's a bit angry with me so i'll read over this and if i cant find out what i need to do well i dont know what ill do [14:52] i am trying to set up my wifi on intrebid ibex, but i seem to not have the driver installed [14:52] hey people, someone can help me with samba? i'm sharing 3 folders, i can use them from XBMC, but i can't see them from a WindowsXP pc, what can i do? [14:52] Thanks anyway!

[14:52] wtf .... lol [14:53] can't i have pc speaker just for beep sound [14:53] i am reading that "unclaimed" means the driver is not loaded [14:53] hello all. I am running VMWare server 2.0. When I reboot, I have to reinstall vmware. Is there a way to get this to startup automatically? [14:53] but i have installed with windows wireless drivers [14:53] or at least redirect the beep to my alsa [14:53] s1ckb0y: If you open nautilus (the gnome file manager) and in the Go To: box type smb://WINDOWS_HOST_IP_ADDRESS/SHARE_NAME does that work? [14:53] does anybody have any familiarity with this issue? [14:54] hello. what's the difference between kernel 2.6.24-23-generic and kernel 2.6.24-23-386? because after the update (8.04.2) the alsamixer doesn't work in 386 but works in generic? [14:54] hi there [14:54] eoke stupid question how do i get my windows ip address from my ubuntu laptop? [14:54] i'd like to re-open my ubuntu mirror, is there an IRC channel for that topic? [14:54] Ben_Cs: in general you don't need 386 [14:55] join #ubuntu-mirrors [14:55] ... [14:55] s1ckb0y: On the windows box you'll need to type ipconfig /all [14:55] Ben_Cs: generic has surpassed it === piero is now known as Piero [14:55] Myrtti: so i can remove 386 from menu.lst? [14:55] also, when i try "iwconfig", i am getting "no wireless extensions" [14:55] hello [14:55] s1ckb0y: Have you confirmed somehow that these two boxes are even on the same network and able to access one another? [14:56] Ben_Cs: I think 386 means it uses only those instructions available on a 386 machine.. generic I think uses the 686 instructions [14:56] s1ckb0y: what do you mean, is your windows on an other machine? [14:56] hello [14:56] Ben_Cs: a lot has happened since the 386 came out in.. 1991 or so.. generic will be faster on any non-stone-age machines [14:57] is there a better channel for my type of request (no offense, just new to irc and ubuntu) [14:57] Slart: ok. Wierd. first time the 386 option is on men.lst. till now i had only "generic" kernel options in the menu.lst. Damn last upadte [14:57] ineedubuntuhelp: Keep your comments on one line, you are too spread out. [14:57] ineedubuntuhelp: nope, this is the right channel.. you can type !wifi to get some info from the bot.. just keep asking your question.. repeat every 5 minutes or so.. use the time to google and search the forums [14:57] ari_stress: On one of my Ubuntu laptops I cannot hear it either. Try the command 'beep' in a GNOME terminal and on a console and report here. [14:58] usr: thanks. the last few have been because i have just tried them. i will do that. most gracious advice [14:58] Ben_Cs: that's kind of odd, yes [14:58] Slart , Myrtti : thanks guys [14:58] ineedubuntuhelp: "no wireless extensions" means that your driver for the wifi card is not loaded [14:58] !wifi [14:58] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [14:58] Slart: you serious with "every 5 minutes or so" [14:59] Myrtti: ehm.. yes? shouldn't I be?

[15:06] Are the repos really slow right now? [15:06] s1ckb0y: Ubuntu will request the logon credentials once it establishes a connection. [15:06] jca1981: that's not good. Error en CustomLog directives should have valid values in apache2.conf. It's not the cause of your problem I think, but it helps debugging [15:06] ardchoille, yes [15:07] quibbler: Thanks [15:07] afmacedo: oh... hmm.. let me see if I can find anything [15:07] Slart: thx a lot [15:07] espeak is mute, how can i configure it?

[15:23] jaapvisser So this is right? /etc/apt/sources.list http://apt.rigsofrods.com/ [15:23] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades and http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ looks good [15:23] jrwren: did you change the sources.list to use the old-releases repository? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades [15:23] Slart deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main restricted universe multiverse deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-security main restricted universe multiverse [15:23] juna it all depend on your configuration [15:23] savvas: doing that now :) [15:23] thanks. [15:23] !hcl | mactech: you can install ubuntu anywhere [15:23] mactech: you can install ubuntu anywhere: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [15:24] you have all been far more helpful than I can ever imagine [15:24] jrwren: can you send me the /etc/apt/sources.list at http://paste.ubuntu.com so I could have a look? [15:24] Slart those three are all you need [15:24] Jack_Sparrow: ah.. that's the one. Thanks [15:24] :) [15:24] jrwren: you got those urls? [15:24] the best place to handle security is in your scripts but a mod_security solution works great to block certain requests [15:25] Hey How do i permanently set iprouting forwording setting ?? [15:25] ari_stress: I would advise you to summarize all you findings and put a question in Launchpad. May be you will be luckier i getting a cure than me. [15:25] oCean_: bingo i found the right file : client 83.91.199.234] /home/.htaccess: Invalid command 'RewriteEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not inc$ [15:25] ari_stress: s/i/than I and [15:26] bullgard4: yeah, let me trial and error couple of hour first [15:26] Hey How do i permanently set iprouting forwording setting ?? [15:26] Slart, savvas yup, I'm good. savvas if you really want me to pastebin i can, but I think I can manage from here. [15:26] jca1981: ah, okay.... [15:26] I just needed that bit of "you idiot, its REALLY old" and "http://old-releases..." [15:26] ari_stress: Yes indeed. [15:26] jrwren, :) [15:26] jrwren: let me know if you need further help [15:27] Why does the driver ath_pci.ko provide two network interfaces: ath0 and wifi0? [15:27] anybody use Bind9? [15:27] bullgard4: one is the real card, the other is a bridge to it [15:27] SodaKiller: yes [15:27] jrwren: in case it doesn't work, download the alternate cd from http://releases.ubuntu.com/gutsy/ and burn it. Pop the cd in and use this command: gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" - Then while updating you will be asked to fetch updates, there you say "No" and it will go fine. :) Note that you'll probably have to upgrade once more to Hardy 8.04 after that. [15:27] oCean_: i need to load the mod rewrite module :) [15:27] jaapvisser: is this correct? /etc/apt/sources.list http://apt.rigsofrods.com/ [15:27] ikonia: Which one is the bridge? [15:27] nope Photoguy [15:27] I'm at / and running the following command... sudo find . -name '*' |xargs grep -i 'question.wav' why do i still get "permission denied" results? [15:27] bullgard4: wifi0 I believe [15:28] bullgard4: ath0 is the physical card [15:28] ikonia: Ah! Thank you very much. [15:28] SodaKiller: I use bind9 :) [15:28] ikonia -> if you can point me to the right direction, it would be great, okay so i have bind9 managed using Webmin, i have 1 site working fine, i want to add another domain, do i create a new "master zone" (WEbmin lists it as master zone), or do i edit the existing one? [15:29] jca1981: yes, it seems that way... never underestimate the power of logging :) [15:29] SodaKiller: I'm currently trying to use bind9 ;) [15:29] eoke: didnt work, the windows computers see each other but no ubuntu shares on ither [15:29] eoke: just installed ubuntu yesterday have not messed with anything besides updating [15:29] eoke -> ahh we're on the same boat. [15:29] SodaKiller: webmin is totally not supported, your question is webmin related, not bind9 related [15:29] oCean_: fealing so stupid i looked in wrong file. can you remember where i load mods [15:29] SodaKiller: webmin is not really compatible with a lot of the things ubuntu does in terms of how applications are configured [15:29] SodaKiller: I'm trying to do it through the config files and it's erm interesting ;) [15:30] jca1981: I think you can do that by creating a symlink from /etc/apache2/mods-available to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled. Then restart apache [15:30] s1ckb0y: Have you actually confirmed the Ubuntu box is on the same network as the Windows box? [15:31] ikonia, thats fine, well then in bind in the /etc/bind/ folder do i create a new domain.com.hosts file and include it? [15:31] oCean_: oh yea, hehe thanks [15:31] SodaKiller: you can do [15:31] jca1981: sure, np [15:33] !clone > n8tuser [15:33] n8tuser, please see my private message [15:33] ikonia -> i see. yep, i have the apache side working fine, i must have screwed up on the .hosts file because nothing still works. although, i'm using my current .hosts file as an template. i'll look at it again [15:33] anyone tell me how to add a new command to shell [15:33] ikonia - i have 5 IPs to use, i've hosted 1 site on 1 IP, now i need to do the second site [15:34] SodaKiller: not sure why you are telling me this as it doesn't effect your problem [15:34] oCean_: oh now i get [error] [client 83.91.199.234] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'Limit$ [15:34] anyone tell me how to add a new command to shell [15:34] ikonia -> i know ik now, just telling you my situation not that it has anything to do with my original question lol [15:34] dinesh372, insert into your .bashrc "alias ='' [15:35] !patience | dinesh372 [15:35] dinesh372: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [15:35] dinesh372: which command do you like to add [15:35] eoke: i just changed the .conf to show workgroup = MSHOME [15:36] ikonia -> so a new .hosts file per domain would work right? [15:36] i want to add a c function square that squares a number as it is given as assignment [15:36] SodaKiller: depends on the configuration [15:36] dinesh372: ok ? [15:37] Hello, with what command i start .run files in console? [15:37] s1ckb0y: Please see https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+question/45685 [15:37] Kupari: they are normally executable binaries, what do you want to install [15:37] Gotta reinstall nvidia driver [15:37] Kupari: why ? there are 3 versions packaged with ubuntu [15:38] Kupari: putting a 3rd party one on may cause serious issues [15:38] Yep, noticed. [15:38] But it works better than official releases [15:38] eoke: do i need to have anything oinstaled besides samba? [15:38] MUCH better [15:38] hahaha... do-release-upgrade choked on old-releases. It makes sense. It just changed feisty to gutsy, but gutsy isn't at the old-releases URL. [15:39] Kupari if you know that, then you must have installed the drivers before [15:39] will the ubuntu work with a dvd? [15:39] Kupari: if you have instaled the drivers before you'll know how to use a .run file [15:39] Aye, but just cant remember that command [15:39] c0d3-r3d: yes, but it can be a problem sometimes burning a CD to a DVD [15:39] Kupari: there isn't a command, you just run them [15:39] Ok~ thx [15:39] s1ckb0y: I don't believe you need samba to connect ubuntu client to a windows share. [15:39] Kupari: sudo apt-get install envyng-core && envyng -t [15:40] s1ckb0y: Did you have a look at the url I posted if not see https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+question/45685 [15:40] eoke: reading now [15:40] !flash [15:40] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [15:40] are sata drives hot swappable? if i have the power plugged in, can i plug the sata cable in while in ubuntu? [15:40] i want a dvd because i dont have a cd :( [15:40] jca1981: that might be something regarding the rewriteEngine, but I'm not really familiair with that. It might help to create/declare an explicit VirtualHost in the apache config. But again, I'm no expert on this.. [15:40] d0netsFN: depends on the controller, most home kit, no [15:40] the drive gives me mad errors on startup in ubuntu and it freezes xp when i try to create a partition on it in disk manager [15:40] eoke: I think you do.. but the samba client might already be installed by default... the samba package is the server iirc [15:40] !make > rafaelscj [15:40] rafaelscj, please see my private message [15:41] oCean_: ok, thanks for your help u been most helpful :) [15:41] c0d3-r3d: Most DVD drives will also read CDs quite happily. [15:41] oCean_: i have to run now, bye [15:42] jca1981: come to think of it.. using vhosts.. that *is* an explicit vhosts. Sorry, I'm a bit lost at this..

[15:48] eoke , carpii, I would. Tips or pointers? [15:48] whats wrong with fstab? [15:48] Jack_Sparrow: sure. [15:48] jschoolc: changing from the gui would prob be easier/more complete if you don't know [15:48] rafaelscj: I wasn't following your issue just saw the question, adding the module to the list will stop it from loading. [15:48] comicinker -> can you post your fstab file? [15:48] eoke , carpii, I would. Tips or pointers to getting one gui in? [15:49] Alex, try sudo-apt get install kde-core [15:49] and maybe kubuntu-desktop im not sure [15:49] n8tuser: http://pastebin.com/m31983cf1 [15:50] AlexGC2: "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" would install the full gnome desktop but that would use considerable resources and potentially reduce the security of the box. [15:50] step21: thanks, I'll search around for the command [15:50] rafaelscj: iwl3945 should be working fine, it's intel's open source driver [15:50] hm kubuntu-desktop will install a load of default kde apps too, you probably dont want that [15:50] AlexGC2 sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [15:50] eoke, savvas, might you analize my lsmod output? I could pastebin it [15:50] i think kde-core is what you need [15:50] rafaelscj: I'm not an expert on modules, sorry :) [15:51] rafaelscj: all I know is iwl3945 is for intel wireless cards and works ok [15:51] comicinker -> umm, i dont see where it should complain about mount point storage [15:51] savvas, okay, it should be iwl3945, i'm going to try [15:51] savvas, thanks [15:51] np :) [15:51] comicinker -> oop spoke too soon, line 16 needs to be commented [15:52] eoke, tnks [15:52] Ah! thanks [15:52] eoke: not working but i can see my ubuntu from windows now [15:52] eoke: now need to see my windows share from ubuntu and ill be good [15:52] thanks JackSparrow, , carpii [15:53] What's a good program to eat up CPU cycles on a multi-core processor for load testing?

[16:12] ok, but how do i go about doing that? [16:12] 0,,0 [16:12] binarymutant: say me that "unknown suffix --ignored" [16:12] get the iso of ubuntu then how to i add the updates to it? [16:12] Flash: to be fair the kernel modules should be fine, I'm more concerned about the disks / partitions / uuid's [16:12] when i type "gunzip -d foo.bin" [16:12] not exactly 1 but i need to get a collection of softwares if theres any link available [16:12] osubuck leave out the drivers when using aptoncd [16:13] !aptooncd > amanu [16:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about aptooncd [16:13] MiLLeN, mv foo.bin foo.gz [16:13] amanu: do you need the operating system on cd/dvd? See the shop: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu [16:13] MiLLeN, then try [16:13] !aptoncd > amanu [16:13] amanu, please see my private message [16:13] ok [16:13] ikonia cool [16:13] ikonia you misunderstood me [16:13] amanu: then explain, what do you want [16:14] so to do this i need to use aptoncd?

[16:14] updates are for the box currently doing the updates, a socket 775 will not be the same for a 478 just an example [16:14] amanu: if you are not online - you can't access the repos, you need a local copy, eg: a cd repo [16:14] carpii: i want to make it permanent since other way dont work [16:14] amanu: other than creating it yourselves... (like what ikonia said) [16:14] binarymutant: apperas foo file [16:15] "foo", with this name [16:15] ikonia Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 [16:15] latenubuntu: now show me "uname -a" please [16:15] - im using 8.10, i ugraded last night and now i can only start in low graphics mode. i need help troubleshooting - can someone plz help?

[16:19] latenubuntu: it's not an ubuntu kernel, nor does it sound like a 8.04 release [16:19] Hello. I'm trying to connect to a printer in my office thats on a server. In order to access it you have to be connected to the share folder on the server. i can connect to the mapped network drive (shared folder), but all of my attempts to connect to the printer have failed. Any ideas? [16:20] latenubuntu: contact your hosting company for support [16:20] latenubuntu who knows, its not an official release [16:20] hello all [16:20] ikonia: trying this http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1866807&postcount=1 at this point ~$ sudo /etc/rc.local start it errorsrs with no such file or dir [16:20] binarymutant: yes, i change "foo" to "foo.bin" and do "sudo sh ./foo.bin [16:20] amanu: as I told you, you cannot just have a part of the repository. [16:20] MiLLeN, that should work then [16:20] i would kindly need some help installing a wacom tablet on 8.10 [16:20] binarymutant: no [16:20] say me "not found" [16:21] isint like xp softwares available here that can be just downloaded and can be runned on any machine having ubuntu? [16:21] MiLLeN, pastebin it, type ls first [16:21] noobem, my wacom just worked [16:21] amanu: no, due to dependencies [16:21] didnt have to do anything, altho, i didnt test it too much [16:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/111269/ can someone help with this area [16:21] erUSUL: sorry to interrupt you, but I suppose grub is still installed on MBR. Can I create the populate the /boot directory on the same partition of / and point the grub to there? [16:21] if i do "file foo" or "file foo.bin" say me "foo.bin: cpio archive" [16:21] latenubuntu: yeah, you need to talk to your hosting company. clearly, they tailored your ubuntu for you, therefore they should be supporting it. [16:21] amanu: you either have to know the software you want (aptoncd will be your tool) or make a full repo [16:21] hi all. i've managed to get the kernel to find my wifi card by installing the madwifi-hal . Isn't there usually a gnome applet up on the top near the clock to automate connecting to networks etc? what package would I need to install for that? [16:21] Slart: the only way I found to add stuff to the System menu was patching "gnome-panel" [16:21] petllama: mine doesnt. not detected by system [16:21] unfortunatelly [16:21] well cant i just download dependencies if needed? [16:21] binarymutant: paste bin what? [16:21] amanu: yes, but then you need to know the software you want to install [16:21] by getting pack from friend [16:21] erUSUL: can I install GRUB on the /boot* [16:21] amanu: and if you can "just download" you may as well just use the online repo [16:21] latenubuntu: if it's something that doesn't have to do with the kernel, we would be able to help [16:22] amanu: a pack from your friend ? [16:22] erUSUL: being /boot inside of / partition? [16:22] MiLLeN, the stuff in your terminal so I can see what your doing, because I really don't know what your trying to do [16:22] gnea how can i know if it is ? [16:22] binarymutant: okey [16:22] i can see wacom tablet w lsub [16:22] lsusb [16:22] erUSUL: what I mean is: does the /boot directory needs to be on a separate partition? [16:22] means my friend can download any software if needed for me and ill install it my net connection is slow :p [16:22] MiLLeN, thanks [16:22] it seems my problem is the ATi drivers are installed but not in use - how do i fix this === ward__ is now known as Wardje [16:22] the chan is moving fast ...:) [16:22] means my friend can download any software if needed for me and ill install it my net connection is slow :p [16:22] amanu: no, that's not how the repos work [16:22] amanu: then he needs to use aptoncd and you need to tell him what software you want [16:23] nbuntu, system > preferences > hardware drivers [16:23] i cant just install dependencies of few mb if needed [16:23] hello, adobe-flashplugin didn't work, need help. Ubuntu 8.04 [16:23] err.. administration [16:23] petllama: thats where it says they are not in use [16:23] amanu: your not listening - if you are going to install the dependencies, you should just use the repo's your self [16:23] petllama: but it says they are installed [16:23] does it say sctivate on the bottom? [16:24] activate [16:24] its says it is activated [16:24] latenubuntu: you've already show that it is by providing the kernel version [16:24] but not in use [16:24] o :x [16:24] binarymutant: http://rafb.net/p/w5sA9z27.html [16:24] (doesnt say i need to restart) [16:24] thats more than i can help with then :-/ [16:24] latenubuntu, bottom line, if you do not d/l ubuntu from the site its not official. simple as that [16:24] latenubuntu: please contact your hosting provider for support [16:24] latenubuntu: standard ubuntu kernels look something like this: Linux version 2.6.27-11-generic [16:24] can anyone send me the kernel and initrd files please?? [16:25] is there any decent media player which has a simple media lib and yet drag-drop-play support [16:25] latenubuntu: we aren't even using 2.6.28 yet [16:25] arthurmaciel: if you can't boot your box, how do you expect to put the kernel on the box [16:25] ikonia: I can't boot the box, because I've deleted the kernel, but I'm using it. I have not rebooted yet. [16:25] i have tried exail and rhytmbox , exail is buggy and rhythmbox sucks at drag-drop [16:25] arthurmaciel: if you have corruprted your /boot directory I suggest you either use the repair option on the cd - or re-install [16:25] arthurmaciel: re-install the linux-image package [16:25] i had heard of we can make changes to ur linux and can edit it as per our wish but how? [16:25] audio-player btw [16:25] ikonia: with apt-get? [16:26] MiLLeN, it's still compressed with cpio, did you make foo.bin? [16:26] latenubuntu, if you installed a modded OS of ubuntu we cant help you period. [16:26] amanu: what are you talking about [16:26] arthurmaciel: yes, or synaptic [16:26] arthurmaciel: what ever package manager your comfy with [16:26] binarymutant: no [16:26] what i have to do? [16:26] ikonia: how can I point the system to another boot directory? it used to be on /dev/sda2, but now I want it to be on /dev/sda5. /etc/fstab?? [16:26] i mean the operating system [16:26] Is there a terminal command to update my Ubuntu 8.10 KDE interface to 4.2 from 4.1 [16:26] amanu, that's if u have the skills to do it === |mfilipe| is now known as mfilipe === GDonato__ is now known as GDonato [16:26] amanu: make a new boot partition, and mout it [16:26] mount [16:26] thanks guys reallly apreciate it [16:26] amanu: sorry - not you [16:27] arthurmaciel: make a new boot partition, update fstab and mount it [16:27] MiLLeN, well I would distrust the source of where you got it. It's compressed with cpio right now [16:27] arthurmaciel: you'll need to update your grub install too [16:27] amanu: please elaborate. Explain what it is that you want to accomplish [16:27] i am talking about making changes to a operating system [16:27] amanu: changes like what? [16:27] ikonia: the problem is this. I have deleted /dev/sda2, re-created it and I cannot mount [16:27] amanu: you log a bug / feature request [16:27] raheem : welll did u get me? [16:27] arthurmaciel: why can you not mount ? [16:27] binarymutant: ok, i have to install cpio? [16:27] change like making changes to operating system kernel [16:27] amanu: you need to be VERY clued up [16:28] MiLLeN, I guess, I've never used cpio before [16:28] !contribute | amanu [16:28] amanu: To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate [16:28] ikonia: mount: it was not possible to find /dev/sda2 on /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [16:28] amanu, u r talking about all the hypes in the media.. but, that's if u have enough skills to do the changes.. otherwise, u got to depend on a standard distro [16:28] arthurmaciel: what command are you using ? [16:28] i mean all use to say linux is open source u can edit/modify it if needed [16:28] ikonia: sudo mount /dev/sda2 [16:28] if somebody has a clue of how to get wacom working in 8.10 i'd appreciate pm [16:28] arthurmaciel: you can [16:28] !flash > rafaelscj [16:28] rafaelscj, please see my private message [16:28] arthurmaciel: wrong command [16:28] arthurmaciel: sudo mount /dev/sda2 /boot [16:28] raheem i just wanna try it [16:28] binarymutant: okeys! [16:28] amanu: sure, no one will stop you from doing that [16:29] ikonia: special device /dev/sda2 does not exist [16:29] amanu: but probably few will help you if you do [16:29] arthurmaciel: ahhh your disk is in use so it won't have re-read the TOC [16:29] amanu, learn the basics, learn c++, python, plus a few other languages ;) [16:29] raheem also would like to know the procedure to do it [16:29] ikonia: that's it. [16:29] ikonia: any idea on how to do it? [16:29] arthurmaciel: nothing you can do [16:29] ikonia: gee. [16:29] i know c/c++ basics [16:29] amanu: there is no procedure, it's very complex and you have to understand a lot about linux / kernel / c++ [16:29] ikonia: can't I create another partition and use it? [16:30] arthurmaciel: not if the disk is in use [16:30] well cant i just have a look at it? [16:30] amanu: sure [16:30] How to instal flash plugin... please [16:30] hi [16:30] procedurE? [16:30] rafaelscj: install "flashplugin-nonfree" package [16:30] amanu: there is no procedure [16:30] amanu: there isn't a procedure - download the kernel and look at the source code [16:30] amanu, u r free to look at it.. for eg. take the source code of any program u like, work on it :) [16:30] ikonia: so no solution, right?? [16:31] arthurmaciel: not without a reboot [16:31] amanu, kernel sources are available directly from kernel.org, among other places [16:31] can i get source code for ubuntu [16:31] guys .. what is one of the best iso burners out there .. besides dvd/CD creator ? [16:31] amanu, sure, see how the things are coded, see how u can improve it [16:31] !source | amanu [16:31] amanu: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [16:31] ok [16:31] amanu, actually making and running a custom kernel is fairly involved, and you certainly will break things the first couple times [16:31] rafaelscj synaptic manager [16:31] !kernel | amanu [16:31] amanu: 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 [16:31] macman, I've always liked k3b [16:31] amanu, good luck [16:32] Hi, how to connect to other server without leaving the freenode one ?

[16:32] well thank u raheem [16:32] rafaelscj: what version of ubuntu are you using [16:32] had any one tried before? [16:32] Hi I have a dead onboard soundcard and have added a addon sound card. but I think ubuntu is using the onboard for sound. how can I tell it to use card 2? [16:32] hi ... does anyone know the path to where f-spot photo manager saves its images ? [16:32] rafaelscj what ver? [16:33] amanu: tried what ? [16:33] ikonia, 8.04 LTS [16:33] rafaelscj: that package should be updated and working [16:33] slippyr4: click on the network icon on the upper-right [16:33] rafaelscj: make sure you do a sudo apt-get update first [16:33] ikonia, let me see [16:33] rafaelscj, if your confused pm me [16:33] modifying or editing any pack/kernal [16:33] vegombrei: pobably in your homedir.. ~/Photos [16:33] amanu: yes, many times [16:34] gnea: thanks. it seems i needed a reboot for that to work [16:34] slippyr4: cheers :) [16:34] ikonia: really thanks. [16:34] amanu: you may want to join one of the development or kernel channels on irc. [16:35] arthurmaciel: no problem [16:35] arthurmaciel: there is a way to re-read the disk toc on he fly, but I can't find/remember it [16:35] oCean_: there is no photos folder .. theres a pictures folder but that has other stuff [16:35] ikonia: to mount a new partition the kernel file (that I deleted) has to read again? [16:35] arthurmaciel: it's a "new" partition so it has to re-read the toc [16:35] ikonia> rafaelscj: that package should be updated and working, correct works perfect! [16:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/111279/ thats my /var/log/Xorg.0.log [16:36] coean_ how cani join? [16:36] amanu: I suggest you don't join at this time, and just read the basics first [16:36] vegombrei: Default there is a Photos folder in a user's homedir (mind the capital P) [16:36] can someone help [16:36] ok [16:36] amanu: those channels are not for "new" users but for serious discussion [16:36] ok [16:36] ikonia: but why can't it re-read the toc? is it because I deleted the kernel file? is the toc located inside the kernel file? (don't understand much about this) [16:36] arthurmaciel: no - it's because that disk is in use [16:36] Flash, what version is your flashplugin-nonfree package? i am doing a apt-get update... [16:36] arthurmaciel: your / partition is running of it, so the disk sis "locked" or "in use" so it can't re-read it [16:37] oCean_: lemme check again [16:37] amanu, read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment [16:37] Hey, is there a shortcut for Ubuntu (GNOME) for show-Desktop? [16:37] oCean_: not there [16:37] BrokenClockwork: bottom left of screen [16:38] rafaelscj, look in pm i"ll help get you on the right track. [16:38] I mean a keyboard shortcut [16:38] ok raheem [16:38] vegombrei: start fspot > edit > preferences... there is a drop down for import folder [16:38] amanu, take it slowly in the beginning.. ;) [16:38] BrokenClockwork: strg+alt+d or whatever you specify [16:38] ikonia: i'll try to find how to re-read on the fly. don't have a cdrom to boot [16:39] arthurmaciel: I'm looking too, there is a way [16:39] ok [16:39] oCean_: thats what i did .. but i was importing like 20000 pictures .. then i clicked cancel and unchecked that option to copy to photos folder ... dont want duplicates so i wanna find that folder where its been copying them [16:41] vegombrei: you can always "sudo updatedb && locate jpg" .. if that would help you [16:41] is there any gui for changing routes with network-manager? for example sometimes i want the default route to be on wlan0, not eth0, when i have both (and other times, i want eth0).. right now im changing routes on command line [16:42] since yday's updates, no sounds working here, am i at the right place to ask about this? [16:42] oCean_, when using a command like that would it be possible to have that command display into a text file instead of in the window [16:43] Using netstat... how can I tell which interface a process is listening on? [16:43] lwizardl: sure. Any output can be redirected: ls -al > my_file.txt [16:43] Hey guys, how do I turn SHMconfig to 'true' ? [16:43] lwizardl: that wil overwrite the existing contents of that file. Using "ls -al >> file.txt" will append output to existing file [16:44] imps: what makes you think that's a valid linux setting ? [16:44] imps: I don't recognise that one, shm should be enabled by default [16:44] You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics [16:44] I'm getting that error for a touchpad app [16:44] imps: ahhh an xorg setting === mini-man_ is now known as mini-man [16:45] Not to sure what to put in terminal [16:45] imps: you can get that and more information here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [16:45] Thank you.

[16:49] the usual command to connect to an AP is as follows.. assuming your interface is wlan0 [16:50] arthurmaciel: possible [16:50] raheem: thats why ive configured it manually (via iwconfig) [16:50] arthurmaciel: partprobe is certainly valid [16:50] ikonia: well, this is what gparted uses... the error message is the same [16:50] audo ifconfig wlan0 up [16:50] sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [16:50] what are the improvements in ubuntu 8.10 over ubuntu 8.04 ? [16:50] sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "yourap" [16:51] ive done that, too. [16:51] ironfroggy_, then, dhclient wlan0 [16:51] it gives no errors, but seems to do nothing. dhclient isnt able to get a lease, either. [16:51] ironfroggy_, did u try iwlist scan wlan0 ? [16:52] ironfroggy_, are you able to see the access point ? [16:52] ok, I nearly have this tethered now, just getting this error now [16:52] WvDial: WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56 [16:52] Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: Device or resource busy [16:52] raheem: "No scan results"! im sure thats important. === rosset is now known as rosset-brb [16:52] try sudo iwlist scan wlan0 [16:53] silv3r_m00n: I'm sure all the improvements are listed somewhere in the 42Mb archive at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/intrepid-changes/ [16:53] I try to install Arch Linux through Unetbootin but when I restart my PC I get stuck on "Booting GRLDR". My HDD stops spinning. what to do? [16:53] raheem: thats what tells me there are no scan results [16:53] I am looking for a fax sending utility .. please suggest a few [16:54] ironfroggy_, try dmesg .. that should point u somewhere [16:54] !info mgetty-fax | silv3r_m00n [16:54] mgetty-fax (source: mgetty): Faxing tools for mgetty. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.1.36-1.4 (intrepid), package size 142 kB, installed size 624 kB [16:55] ok [16:55] /quit [16:55] silv3r_m00n: There are a few others but mostly with mgetty as backend again, except for lprfax [16:55] !pgp [16:55] gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [16:55] genii: ok thanks let me try that [16:56] Does anyone know how to quickly generate my own PGP keys? [16:56] * latenubuntu is using Auto Join System by OverDrive Version: 1.1 You can get it at http://www.adamj.org [16:56] !anyone | JamesA_ [16:56] JamesA_, please see my private message [16:56] latenubuntu: Please disable that script. [16:56] is the bind9 package from apt-get chrooted? [16:56] by default that is === Eneloop18 is now known as Eneloop [16:57] raheem: "wlan0: link is not ready" comes up when i bring the interface down and back up. i dont know if thats relevent but its the only thing i see referencing the wireless at all. [16:57] ironfroggy_, let's start over .. [16:58] and i know the ap is visible from here. im sitting next to this thing on my laptop connected to the same AP. [16:58] === rosset-brb is now known as rosset [16:58] has anyone had any luck with booting the Desktop LiveCD over a network? As for example these instructions: [16:58] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet#A%20variation:%20Booting%20the%20%22Live%20CD%22%20image [16:58] carlo___: yes ? [16:58] most important improvements from my experience was enormously improved hardware detection [16:58] ironfroggy_, try lshw -C network [16:58] see if everything is fine .. [16:58] especially when it comes to mobile internet [16:58] carlo___: hmm... [16:58] and also ATI graphics support [16:59] Anyone here knows much about the "no sound after update" bug? [16:59] as in why it hapens, what causes it, and what's the solution? [16:59] oh sweet, after struggling with do-release-update, I see that I can update sources.list myself, but do-release-update is smart enough to know, I'm on feisty, I'm moving to gutsy and sources.list has already been updated. [16:59] mpalatnik: no, it's not chrooted by default. [16:59] carlo___: i tried kubuntu 8.10 yesterday... it was really fast at booting [17:00] I read a lot of "stories" about that bug and apparently no one has a clear fix other than "reboot and pray" wich gets me way too close of the windows way. I hate to think you have to reboot to fix a problem in linux. [17:00] ikonia: http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/hoanga/2008/03/10/rereading-a-disk-partition-table-in-linux-without-rebooting/ <-- it simply does not work for me [17:00] carlo___: but there was some problem with nividia-glx-177 installation [17:00] silv3r_m00n: that's odd, I hear that nvidia was supposed to be better supported than ATI, and my ATI worked flawless [17:01] silv3r_m00n: I'm looking forward to jaunty; main focus there is supposed to be boot-up time [17:01] carlo___: my nvidia geforce 7400 worked perfect with ubuntu 8.04 .. but in kubuntu 8.10 there is some issue [17:01] raheem: everything looks fine (to me). the card itself seems functioning, in that its letting me do all the configuration and iwconfig doesnt puke about it, so i at least no the card is installed right. [17:01] Front sound is too low on laptop Sony Vaio VGN-SR11MR. Can you help me? [17:01] silv3r_m00n... driver regression... outch [17:02] carlo___: dont know what exactly but read about the same issue on forums too ... that trying to configure nvidia stops x server from starting up [17:03] ironfroggy_, sudo ifconfig down & sudo ifconfig up & sudo iwconfig essid "yourAPaddress" & sudo dhclient [17:03] that's all i knwo about it .. [17:04] anyone know how to get the install process to automatically choose english at the beginning using the preseed file? [17:04] ironfroggy_, those should usually connect you to a normally configured AP (without encryption keys) [17:04] I thought 'd-i languagechooser/language-name-ascii select English' would do it, but apparently not [17:05] raheem: thank you for your help. [17:05] is there a room for ubuntu administrations? I'm hesistant to ask my questions on ubuntu-dev ... [17:05] hoonteke: this would be it :-) [17:05] ok, I managed to get this tethered, and can ping the internet. However Network manager won't stay connected and I can't surf with it [17:06] silv3r_m00n: hm, sounds like the regression might have been on the driver side... boy am I looking forward for it to be 'unaffordable' for hardware vendors to neglect linux desktops :) [17:06] carlo___: hmm [17:06] hy someone know a good irc perl server?? [17:06] ubuntu 8.04 is totally fine.. all hardwares works [17:06] sipior: hmm, okay. shucks. It appears then that no one else has been down the road I'm traveling. (reference earlier question). Oh well. [17:07] printer camera bluetooth etc [17:07] !gpg [17:07] gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [17:07] someone know a good irc perl server?? [17:07] Still looking for the right way to go about building Ubuntu packages for casual use... [17:07] someone know a good irc perl server?? [17:07] Hi, how do I change the gdm session to .xinitrc? [17:08] i managed to remove the bar from the bottom of the screen where open window buttons are, like the windows taskbay. how do i get it back? or, even better, how do i integrate its function into the top bar? [17:08] someone know a good irc server where discuss per programming?? [17:08] azurewrathx, what kind of programming ? [17:08] hoonteke: well, keep asking your question every ten minutes or so...the composition of the channel changes on a regular basis, so a new person may well know what you need [17:08] right click the top panel and select add new panel azurewrathx [17:08] azure, probably #perl on efnet [17:08] is there a good program that I can use to take remote control between a linux pc and a windows pc? [17:08] sorry azurewrathx [17:08] I want to be able to control my volume using the applet on gnome-panel, but it doesn't work. Alsa-mixer, however, works fine. How do I get the gnome applet working? [17:09] sipior: ah, good point. this *is* a large room. heh. thanks [17:09] paul68, theres a few, try vncserver or krdp [17:09] right click the top panel and select add new panel slippyr41 [17:10] Hi all, does anyone knows how to format a USB fresh drive? I tried to unmount the USB fresh drive and typed < sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1 > in terminal, but it didnt work for me. it said that my USB fresh drive was mount. can someone help me figure this issue out? thanks!! [17:10] hoonteke, personalised support is always available through canonical subscription, just a suggestion, if u r specific [17:10] carpii: and the vncserver needs to be installed on the windows right or am I wrong? and I can use the client version right [17:10] butt: use gparted [17:10] yes, for vnc thats true. krdp just uses windows remote desktop [17:10] gparted is easy to use? [17:11] butt: very easy gui [17:11] so nothing needs installing on windows [17:11] um..thanks. try to find gparted [17:11] raheem: that would be awesome, but I'm a grad student, which = no money, and I think I'm close to unsupported stuffs. === Pricey is now known as Guest39261 [17:11] ryanprior: you might try changing which channel the applet controls: try changing it to control the PCM volume [17:12] hoonteke, in that case, u should always try this channel. but, don't expect to get first rate attentions always ;) [17:12] raheem: heh, but to prove that I'm not a stingy bastard, I do recommened others to canonical subscription. :-) [17:12] carpii: since the other workstation is behind a router do I need to do something specific to get through? [17:13] yes youd need to open tcp 3389 [17:14] hoonteke, u never knw what will come up. just ask what u got to ..then wait for someone to guide u.. that helps, trust me [17:14] raheem: no nope, right there with you. but given the size of this room, my question of ubuntu-administration is actually a little longer-lived than my recent (< 15m) envoy to this room. [17:14] carpii: is there a way to do this automaticly since the workstation that I need to take control of is from someone with very little IT experience [17:14] raheem: but, I will ask again in a few. Thanks for the encouragement. It's necessary some times. ;-) [17:15] just now, it's breakfast/lunch time. [17:15] no, theres no automatic way. Thats the whole point of the firewall, to stop people remoting into you ;) [17:15] hoonteke, u r welcome always [17:16] sipior: I finally figured it out, it was trying to control my mobo audio rather than my sound card. [17:16] theres a commercial service which lets you remote in without changing router, gotomypc.co.uk or theres a few others [17:16] ryanprior: yeah, that'll do it :-) [17:16] logmeinrescue.com [17:16] logmeinrescue.com ?? lol [17:16] ? [17:17] hi.. [17:17] Auto Mobile Broadband Connetion won't connect in Network manager...ideas? [17:17] where to get ubuntu command help? [17:17] why is that funny? [17:17] IMO its a joke [17:17] well maybe, but its ok for emergencies [17:17] shally87: right here :-) [17:17] !cli | shally87 [17:18] shally87: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [17:18] carpii: I agree with you there but since its my uncle its difficult to explain it the correct way [17:18] hoonteke, this could give u hints may be, http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installation_on_ThinkPads_without_CD-ROM_drive [17:18] thanks [17:18] i got this problem of installing xampp [17:18] hoonteke, not sure if that's what u r looking for [17:18] anyone can help me with it? [17:18] carpii: ok thanks [17:19] Flash its not a joke [17:19] paul68, yup, always a problem. it might help to find his router and then read this http://portforward.com/routers.htm [17:19] What is the address of the OpenPGP page on launchpad? [17:19] hello. how do I delete a package i installed with apt-get? for example apache2 ? [17:19] paul68 quick fixes not my thing Sir [17:19] everytime i boot, i am asked for a password for unlocking my keyring, (The application 'networkmanager applet' wants access...) how do i stop that? it's irritating. [17:19] hoonteke, you may sign in with ubuntuforums & post your doubts there too .. [17:20] shally87: What is the problem? [17:20] carpii: I know for me its quite simple however not for him [17:20] !pgp [17:20] gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [17:20] i just cannot use the su command to install xampp [17:20] raheem: that's not a bad suggestion [17:20] shally87, use sudo instead [17:20] shally87: sudo [17:20] hmm [17:20] ok.. [17:20] and yes that link is along the lines of what I'm doing. Thanks for it. I'm just running into some difficulties with the link I posted earlier. [17:20] Flash: I am not looking for quick fixes just want to be able to help my uncle without having to travel for 2 hours [17:20] !sudo [17:20] 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) [17:20] Can I set up ubuntu server to create a wireless hotspot and then to share an internet connection wirelessly? [17:21] cambazz, sudo apt-get remove apache2 [17:21] thanks sipior [17:21] wiehan, you can normally just do that with any wireless router or access point [17:21] paul68 did you see the "NOT" part ? [17:21] ow ow [17:21] shally87: Ubuntu does not use root account. It is one of the unique things about Ubuntu. [17:21] Flash: oops sorry [17:21] ;) [17:22] oowh [17:22] ok [17:22] carpii - correct - that is so obvious. What I want to do is set up squid as well as well as some other bandwith monotoring tools... THUS I WANT TO USE UBUNTU SERVER [17:22] shally87: sudo is enabled by default all admin operations. [17:22] wiehan: Look up hostapd [17:22] !caps | wiehan [17:22] wiehan: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [17:22] ok [17:23] wiehan, ok yes then, you can so this, but what im saying is you need hardware support from the router etc [17:23] anyway usr13 how to make sudo work on this function [17:23] tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.tar.gz -C /opt [17:23] wiehan, but you also might want to look at ipcop.com which I think has all this built in [17:23] wiehan: in answer to your original question: yes, youc an. [17:23] hi all [17:23] shally87: Are you using the package manager? [17:23] shally87: apt-get or synaptic? [17:23] Why might I receive the following error when receiving an encrypted email in Evolution Mail: "gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available" [17:23] how do i go to arabic room [17:24] ipcop.org sorry [17:24] carpii, gnea thanks [17:24] shally87: The synaptic package manager is easiest. It is a GUI application. [17:24] ok [17:24] look for it a moment [17:24] brb [17:24] ok, which is relatively better: ipcop, engarde, pfnewsense vs. setting up ubuntu server to do this? [17:24] tq [17:25] hey there, It seems like I have an ALSA problem. I have no sound (altho I can ear a "bump" when I select/deselect "digital output") and when I try an alsa-utils reset, it throws me errors "invalid card number". Might be a driver issue or something like that. Any leads? [17:25] depends whether you need the server to do much more eventually [17:25] is there a recording level monitor for intrepid as there is one for 8.04? [17:25] hi all is there others rooms here [17:25] if youre more concerned about security than adding other apps later, go for ipcop, or streamline etc === error404notfoun1 is now known as error404notfound [17:25] theyre both quite good, i havent tried others [17:26] uh, smoothwall, not streamline [17:26] shally87: What is the name of the package you are wanting to install? (If you do a search for in in the synaptic package manager, it will show you and present option to install). [17:26] carpii do you have ubuntu server on cd ? [17:26] !sa | nour [17:26] nour: For the Saudi Arabia team : /join #ubuntu-sa : للانظمام الى قناة الفريق السعودي - For Arabic language support, please : /join #ubuntu-arabic : للحصول على الدعم باللغة العربية [17:26] no Flash [17:27] i dont use ubuntu server, most my servers are red hat [17:27] download it and i will help you set it up [17:27] usr13 it is xampp [17:27] and a ubuntu server virtual machine just for testing things [17:27] now i searching for it but never found one [17:27] carpii, may I know why? RH over Ubuntu server? [17:27] wiehan: I use ipcop It is really good. What are you trying to do? [17:27] can get it from apachefriends [17:27] Flash, its not me that needs it ;) [17:27] WVdial, show I have an IP address and I can "dig" yahoo, but Network manager won't "connect" and I can't surf the net [17:27] my bad lol carpii [17:27] Alex, its just what ive become familiar with over time. No other reason really [17:28] carpii, thanks [17:28] usr13: ok, can you monitor internet usage with ipcop - and furthermore, monitor individual user usage with ipcop? [17:28] btw, pseudo-tangential to this room, but perhaps of interest, anyone see this go by in the news? Point 6 would be the most pertinent. [17:28] http://www.truthout.org/011209R [17:29] is there no smoother way to get a name from a pid then this script: ps ux | awk '/name/ && !/awk/ {print $2}' ? I can't belive it doesn't have it's own command. [17:29] pluffsy should not post scripts in main [17:29] wiehan, ipcop has squid built in i think (or at least as a plugin), so I imagine that gives you lots of control [17:29] shally87: See: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=223410 [17:30] carpii: can you monitor internet usage with ipcop - and furthermore, monitor individual user usage with ipcop? [17:30] Flash: uh I'm very sorry. why not with such a short one line script? [17:30] wiehan: Yes, there are plugins for all sorts of stuff like that. [17:30] Rythmbox just does not seem to function properly, is there another repo for it or like it? [17:30] pluffsy, Ignorant users post alot in terminal and scripts can do harm in "many" cases [17:31] tq usr13.. [17:31] brb [17:31] pluffsy, you can get a lot of info about a process by looking in /proc/ [17:31] Flash: alright, for one-liners, what is the suggestion? [17:32] hi, does ubuntu have a package that will allow me to sync a windows mobile 6.1 based phone? [17:32] Flash: alright. [17:32] pluffsy. try like more /proc/32164/cmdline | cut -d" " -f1 [17:32] pluffsy. try ..... more /proc/32164/cmdline | cut -d" " -f1 [17:32] thanks. most shutdown now! [17:32] Hello, can someone point me to a wiki page on what to do when I add another hard drive - I would like to install Kubuntu on it (I have Ubuntu currently on my system now) [17:32] Bizzeh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/WindowsMobile [17:33] or use 'killall' if youre trying to kill all of similar processes [17:33] hi all [17:33] thanks eoke [17:34] any alsa expert here? [17:34] pdvyas: what's the problem? [17:35] usr13 i got problem here.. it says tar: xampp-linux-1.7.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory === Buck is now known as BuckWild [17:35] Can someone help? WVdial, shows I have an IP address and I can "dig" yahoo, but Network manager won't "connect" and I can't surf the net with a USB Modem [17:35] my surround sound not working, i've common jacks for line , mic and center/lfe. rear [17:35] is it related to the location of the tar files? [17:35] hey, I installed updates on my laptop today and it installed new headers, when I went to reboot my computer it got stuck in a kernel panic [17:35] hoonteke, I guess what im saying is that new users "ignorant" to ubuntu will post just about anything in a terminal. we don"t need people turning away from ubuntu from a mishap ;) [17:35] anybody have any idea what was in the new linux headers or whatever [17:36] the only way I could get my computer to start was to use grub to go back to the previous version [17:36] gnea: there is no option in the alsa mixer to set the no. of channels to 6 [17:36] pdvyas: have you read this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SurroundSound [17:36] BuckWild: what was the error? also, did it happen more than once? [17:36] Flash: oh, I'm with you on that point. It's a good point. But there often /is/ a need to critique code or offer suggestions, and the rubric I've heard is < 3 lines is okay. So what *should* folks do with one-liners with which they need help? [17:37] sipior, it happens everytime I start the computer, looks like something about paging and virtual memory [17:37] Why is it that even after using the command "gpg --delete-keys" and "gpg --delete-secret-keys" the keys still exist if I use "gpg --list-keys"? [17:37] wiehan: Look for "Net traffic monitoring" a little over half way down the page at: http://www.ipadd.de/binary.html [17:37] shally87: See: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=223410 [17:37] BuckWild: what was the precise error? [17:37] gnea: it fails the speaker test [17:37] hoonteke, pastebin is fine. [17:37] sipior, "unable to handle kernel paging request" was what the bulk of the messages were [17:38] anyone have any idea how to get my program window buttons back on the bottom of the screen to switch between windows on the desktop...they disappeared today on Ubuntu 64? [17:38] sipior, is there a way I can get those errors in one of the logs? [17:38] pdvyas: k, did you check the other urls on that page? there's more to it than just a test [17:38] Flash: overkill, IMHO, but I suppose I don't have a better idea. [17:38] carlf: Do you still have a Bar there [17:38] yes but nothing in it [17:39] BuckWild: check for older versions of /var/log/dmesg [17:39] carlf: Right click > Add to Panel [17:39] Hi ...... i dont know whether im the only one facing this but ....... my system volume in ubuntu is 4-6 times lower than windows [17:39] gnea: i've tries asoundrc and setting the model to 3stack and stuff but no luck [17:39] BuckWild: also, it installed a new kernel package along with the headers, right? [17:39] any ideas? [17:39] carlf: Think the one you're most likely looking for is "Window List" [17:39] carlf: you mean the workspace switcher applet? [17:40] ikonia about the problem with mysql-server installation [17:40] thanks that worked [17:40] it get sorted:) [17:40] sipior, believe so, I didn't really pay too much attention to what it was installing but I saw the linux kernel stuff in there and took note because I knew I'd have to recompile my wireless drivers to get them to work [17:40] hoonteke, one line is simply enough to infect a ubuntu user, period. [17:41] i've rinstall the gnome-setting-deamon packeg [17:41] eoke Thanks a bundle...I was totaly stumped...even looked at that once but did not see window lanuch ...thanks again [17:42] Flash: again, I agree with you. You've made a good point. I'm just saying that I wish there were "a better way". pastebin is a good idea, that still seems like overkill to me. Call it "growing pains" as I change my ways. [17:42] carlf: No worries I think everyone does that at some point or another. [17:42] is the synaptic update manager down or something? i cant download anything [17:42] sipior, another interesting bit of trivia is that I was able to boot successfully into the new kernel mod when I used recovery mode [17:43] BuckWild: do you specify any boot options for your kernels? [17:43] sipior, so I'm not sure exactly what the difference is between recovery mode and normal boot, but when I booted into recovery mode and got the prompt I hit resume normal boot and it works [17:43] chronix: there are many servers from which you can download packages, maybe the one you choose is down [17:43] sipior, should just be default stuff [17:43] chronix: Seems ok here [17:43] how would i go about specifiying what server apt gets packages from ? [17:43] how do i choose a different server [17:43] chronix: one moment [17:44] anyone around who can help with Network Manager? [17:44] evening all [17:44] BuckWild: might be a bug in the package...i didn't manage to find a recent bug report discussing this for ubuntu 8.10. [17:44] chronix: settings->repositories [17:44] chronix: Settings > Repositories > Download from [17:44] sipior, I probably should've mentioned, I'm on 8.04 [17:44] thanks guys [17:45] chronix: np :) [17:45] BuckWild: well, as long as you've got it working, might as well leave it in place, and see if another kernel package update isn't forthcoming shortly :-) or, consider an upgrade to 8.10? [17:45] chrisi thats in package manager ? === ed_ is now known as Guest36708 [17:45] or software sources ? [17:45] jedimindlappy: package manager [17:45] where / what is the /etc/modprobe.conf file in Ubuntu? [17:45] thanks, funny enough i asked the same question 10 seconds before he did :) [17:45] sipior, I guess I can do that, I tried upgrading to 8.10, but the network manager was....shall I say, not a great fit, and the wireless driver in 8.10 for my laptop left loads to be desired === Brucee is now known as Bruce [17:46] jedimindlappy: i just joined xD [17:46] too bad i already started a 300+meg apt-get thats going at a whopping 30k/sec [17:46] where / what is the _/etc/modprobe.conf_ file in Ubuntu? [17:46] BuckWild: maybe best to leave well enough alone, in that case. [17:46] jedimindlappy: :)) === tweak is now known as tweak66 [17:46] can anyone help me? i'm having problems with my boot loader [17:46] sipior, yeah, I'm hoping that 9.04 will fix some problems that I have with 8.10, and it probably will [17:46] daplumpkin: what kind of problems [17:47] can i just pm you to free up the main room? [17:47] yes [17:47] Joker_-_: man modprobe.conf [17:48] hi :) [17:48] how can i turn off the automatic drives scan? i am getting an error while that scan, when ubuntu is being loaded. The error somehow doesn't allow me to start the x server and the login doesn't even seem to work [17:48] does anyone know if intrepid ibex works with nvidia 96 legacy driver? [17:48] what exactly is the policy for the proposed updates repository? I've just seen there has a 2.14.4-0-ubuntu2 release for libgtk2-0-bin, but not for libgtk2-0-0... same version, different build... [17:48] *been [17:49] bye all..gonna sleep now..going for a trip tomorrow.. [17:49] c ya [17:49] hi all [17:49] !grub [17:49] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [17:50] cristi: So, during the boot process, it has stopped to do a file system check on your hard drives? Is that the issue? [17:50] is it possible to channge ubuntu 8.10 harddrive encryption password? [17:50] mar77i: I have nvidia 6200 card and the 96 drivers actually work better than the others [17:50] eoke: aight then where can I do that in ubuntu: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/FAQ Point 3.15 [17:51] ardchoille: i heard they have problems with ooffice and k3b.. it's that true? [17:51] and that u have tu enable proposed repos [17:51] Qtpaxa: No problems with OO.o here but I don't use any kde apps [17:51] usr13: no, that's not really the issue. The issue is that it jams at around 6% and doesnt allow me to start the x server, and the login is not correct for some reason. So if there's no other way, i'd rather disable this scan so i won't have to do it manually all the time [17:51] Qtpaxa: I have never used proposed repos, it's a bad idea [17:51] ardchoille: neither do I, just asking :D [17:52] ardchoille: u don't need to enable proposed??? [17:52] ardchoille, you must have mistaken me for Qtpaxa [17:52] The 96 drivers with my nvidia card actually made compiz run better [17:52] Qtpaxa: I have never used proposed [17:52] cristi: What "scan" are you talking about? Is it a scan of the hard drive? [17:52] mar77i: yes, I did, sorry about that [17:52] can i remove or change the 8.10 hd encryption password? [17:53] Joker_-_: Probably /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [17:53] is this the right place to ask for help ? :P [17:53] usr13: yes, it scans sda1, my hard drive [17:53] Boomking: Yes one of many ;) [17:53] Boomking: this is a support channel for Ubuntu [17:53] cristi: Is it giving an error of some sort? [17:53] eoke: I think it was in /etc/modprobe.d/options [17:53] eoke: I'm tryin that an see what will happen [17:53] i downloaded the live Cd [17:53] and booted from it , [17:53] then hit install and all i got was a blinking underscore [17:53] no cd spinning no hd flashing [17:53] any ideas ?? *Spec's* 4400x2 brisbane 4 gigs ddr2 jetway am2 bord with 690v chipset , 8600gts card [17:53] Boomking: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:54] i installed ubuntu 8.11 and not getting graphical mode i m only gettig textmode .i tried startx bt it for no use [17:54] cristi: You may have hardware problem with that drive. If the filesystem is corrupt, you will not be able to boot the OS. [17:54] rabikumar: you mean ubuntu 8.10? [17:54] eoke: nope, you are right [17:54] eoke: just checked the file you pointed out. [17:54] yes [17:54] Joker_-_: Lucky guess ;) [17:54] Boomking, did you md5 the iso, burn slowly then do the disk integrity check? [17:54] usr13: yes, in the black screen, and then i simply have a terminal [17:54] well it works on another system [17:55] cristi: Did you do a proper shut down? Or did you somehow cut the power to the running machine? [17:55] and not even the test works on this machine :S [17:55] cristi: What does the propmt look like? [17:55] usr13: no. it's the routine check of drives [17:56] see i m getting command mode screen with #prompt but culdnt be able 2 goo inside graphical mode [17:56] Flash [17:56] eoke: rebooting... [17:56] Bazhang in desparation i downloaded the amd64 version and the same thing [17:56] usr13: i really can't say, i can restart and take some notes for you, if you'll be here afted 10 mins? [17:56] Joker_-_: Good luck [17:56] news for people who get a black screen after activating nividia driver with 8.10 and old geforce cards (I had the same problem and the solution was to use driver 96) [17:56] I am on gnome with ubuntu ibex. I am not able to set http proxy authentication with network proxy . What to do? [17:57] cristi: fsck Yes, that is the file system check which is a routine operation. It is done if the system is not shut down cleanly, or after about 25 reboots. If there are errors it will try to fix them. If they cannot be fixed, you will need to replace the drive. [17:57] usr13: i don't think it's the hard drive because it's my only hard drive and it works just fine [17:58] cristi: Do you know what drive your OS is installed on? [17:58] is there something wrong with the repositories? synaptic keeps giving me errors saying it can't find the update [17:58] usr13: sda1, my only, i guess === [pErry] is now known as [perry] === eth01-home is now known as eth01 [17:58] I installed ubuntu with full hd encryption and i would like to remove or at least change the password because i will have other people using this computer [17:58] cristi: Do you have a USB drive plugged into the machine at this time? Or some other drive? [17:58] anteaya: Someone else just posted something similar [17:58] usr13: just the mouse.. [17:58] should be nothing wrong with repositories.. i just updated [17:59] eoke, cool, at least I know it isn't me then [17:59] cristi: What do you see on the screen now? [17:59] usr13: note that this is a laptop.. [17:59] eoke, hope the powers that be already know about this [17:59] tweak66: Different people use different repositories [17:59] cristi: Ok, good. That is useful info. [17:59] usr13: i am running just fine. if i skip the check it runs normally [18:00] anteaya: You could try changing the repository source Synaptic > Settings > Repositories > Download From [18:00] Any one ? (live cd installation /ubuntu 8.10 ii, *hit install* , black screen with blinking underscore, has it happend ? solution :s ???) [18:00] has anyone here tryed installing ubuntu from a USB pen? I created an image with unetbootin, but for some reason when booting i'm met with a blank screen [18:00] eoke, good suggestion [18:00] archangel, yes i always install ubuntu from usb pen [18:00] hi all, i heard roomers, that Amiga "graphical stations" might come back "return" in interess will they be as good as "S [18:00] is it possible to make the view in gthumbs respond to the left and right arrow keys - e.g. back and forth [18:00] view=viewer [18:00] usr13: if i don't, i get a prompt, and after i try to start x, it says that it cannot be started and i get a login which doesn't really work [18:00] hey, does anyone know how to search and see if someone's aware of this bug? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6637549 [18:01] carpii: have you ever had an issue where the screen is just a blank screen with blinking cursor? [18:01] because I just encountered that same exact problem on 8.04 after the updates today [18:01] eoke: ok rebooted, now I dont get any error with alsa, but the cards are still not in a great order... th emain card (sound blaster audigy) is card #2 as in -c0, -c1, -c2 [18:01] cristi: Oh, I see. Well, sounds like there is a problem with the hard drive. You should look closely at what it says when it scans because it will give you important clues as to what might be wrong. My guess is that the Hard Drive is in the early stages of failure. [18:01] Boomking, this is the busybox you get? or nothing at all [18:01] -.- [18:01] arch: no not that i can recall. But Ive only ever installed 8.04 not 8.10 [18:01] say what ? :P [18:01] arch: plus its an 8G pen. Maybe larger pens would have trouble booting (if they even make larger pens, Im not sure) [18:02] cristi: Or, your filesystem may have become corrupt somehow. [18:02] usr13: omg, like i just bought this computer 1 month ago or something [18:02] arch, make sure you safely 'eject' the usb pen after using unetbootin, maybe there is data in cache which hasnt yet been written to it [18:02] SGI worksations [18:02] usr13: i'll relog and if i get the scan i'll take some notes and come back for some feedback. it will take around 10 mins. ok? [18:02] cristi, did you try to boot from live cd and do a fsck manually? [18:02] Joker_-_: Sorry to here that unfortunately I'm not an expert in that area (or any other ;) ) [18:03] mo7: no.. [18:03] carpii: the odd thing is, it boots on one one of my laptop, but not the one with the broken CDrom drive :( [18:03] what's wrong cristi? [18:03] cristi: Doesn't matter how long ago you bought it. A hard drive can fail at any time. But not seeing what you are seeing, I can not tell for sure. Like I said, you need to look carefully at the information that is printed on the screen. === [perry] is now known as [pErry] [18:03] cristi: k [18:03] eoke: well, you pointed the right file (I guess) wich helped so thanks. Ill see if it does work when I come back home tonight. [18:03] ok so i stopped using the ati proprietry drivers in 8.10 and now the screen randomly flickers from dark to light (as if it was switching from ac to battery and back) however the problem is not a physical one (no lose wiring) any ideas - using ati open source drivers on 8.10 [18:03] arch, have you removed the broken cdrom from your bios boot order ? [18:03] No worries Joker_-_ one of the others may also be able to help you. [18:03] carpii: so, i'm really confused as to what's going on [18:04] yup === Guest54964 is now known as syn-ack [18:04] Could somebody please help me [18:04] ? [18:04] carpii: yes, i can manually set also to boot from usb, but it just goes to the blank screen [18:04] hi! does anybody knows any software to build organigrams? [18:04] s0101 with what? === syn-ack is now known as Guest40209 [18:05] BleSS, organigrams ?? [18:05] BleSS, get me the link to it [18:05] like organ music? [18:05] i would like to remove or at least change my password for full hd encryption in 8.10 [18:05] ok arch, i dont know why that would be. It should at least get into the boot stage unless the image was corrupt i would have thought [18:05] hey what reason could there be for the screen flickering from light to dark randomly? [18:05] !encryption [18:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about encryption [18:05] !encrypt [18:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about encrypt [18:05] !organigrams [18:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about organigrams [18:05] lol [18:05] lol [18:05] carpii: it boots from one of the machines, but when i select "usb hard disk' on the other? [18:05] my automatic login doesn't work. the settings are set, but I still get prompted. I think this has been since I installed the server kernel to get PAE enabled. [18:06] eoke, not working several in canada, main server, iceland, none of them are serving up files to me [18:06] hemanth: s/organigram/organizational chart [18:06] I used the the encryption from the install cd [18:06] anteaya: Hmm may be a client side issue then [18:07] HOW DO I ARE INSTALL UVUNTU????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? [18:07] s0101: It's not easily done as it's hashed into all the data. [18:07] BleSS>>labyrinth [18:07] !caps | alexplay [18:07] alexplay: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [18:07] !install > alexplay [18:07] alexplay, please see my private message [18:07] under software sources-updates, whats the dashed checkbox mean for recommended updates? [18:07] can i change the password because i need to give it out to somebody else [18:07] eoke, possibliy, I guess except that I have had no problems prior to 5 minutes ago [18:07] Hi, I have problem connecting to "Direct Internet" after vpnc-disconnect [18:08] s0101 use passwd command [18:08] Hi all! [18:08] hi, how to add a new command to the options that pop up when you click on a file with the right mouse button (want to add command to enqueue music file in totem)? [18:08] s0101: system -> preferences -> about me. there's a change pw button [18:08] anyone know how to get the install process to automatically choose english at the beginning using the preseed file? [18:08] s0101 sorry, ignore that. i thought you mean user account password [18:08] MY CASE SENSITIVE BROKE [18:08] but isnt that only the login password for the users i [18:08] ok [18:08] hi i am using *revelation* password manager and one of its benefits is that it "can access remote files via gnome-vfs" - basically that I can access my passwords thru ssh... how do I go about using gnome-vfs to do this? [18:08] s0101: I believe that to be the case yes [18:08] <\kira> someone asked me to run smartctl, but I dont have it installed, and dont know what the package name is. Anybody know? [18:08] under software sources-updates, whats the dashed checkbox mean for recommended updates? [18:09] martin_: right click -> open with -> open with other -> at the bottom, there's "use custom command" [18:09] i tried to google it but i cant find anything [18:09] BleSS, try biblus [18:09] BleSS, google it [18:09] s0101: if you want to change all users passwords, then just "sudo passwd user2" if user2 is another user's username [18:09] kirs.. there's a command to search for packages that starts with an r.. [18:09] (thinking) [18:10] s0101: http://vaidab.blogspot.com/2007/10/add-second-passphrase-to-ubuntus.html [18:10] Baz_: gnome-vfs is gone [18:10] Kira [18:10] I have problem to connect to direct internet but vpnc works. can any one please help? [18:10] i need to changde my full hd encryption password [18:10] Hi...yesterday, in hardy 8.04, kernel upgrades 2.6.24.23.46 >> .48 made my machine die of kernel panic after reboot. I reverted back to old packages through synaptic>>force version via older kernel. so now it's OK, but it still hurts. what should i do? [18:10] s0101: Will that help [18:10] jeremie: hemanth: thanks [18:10] Baz_: it was replaced with gvfs a few releases ago [18:10] thats come before user account login [18:10] BleSS, np [18:10] <\kira> tweak66: okay? Do you know what it is? [18:10] thinking lol [18:10] Hi...yesterday, in hardy 8.04, kernel upgrades 2.6.24.23.46 >> .48 made my machine die of kernel panic after reboot. I reverted back to old packages through synaptic>>force version via older kernel. so now it's OK, but it still hurts. what should i do? [18:10] <\kira> tweak66: lol, k [18:10] maco, thanks:) [18:10] anyone remember the search command from cli to search packages? [18:11] s0101: if you want easy ssh logins, use seahorse (applications -> accessories -> passwords and encryption keys) and setup an ssh key to go to it [18:11] maco, oh really... do u think I could then use that to do what I am looking for, or is it non-transferable? [18:11] tweak66: apt-cache search name? [18:11] Baz_: er that was at you [18:11] s0101: sorry [18:11] BleSS, http://www.conceptdraw.com/en/products/cd5/ap_organigram.php [18:11] I wish I could get paltalk working on ubunto lol [18:11] hm. [18:11] starts with an r [18:11] lmao [18:12] another question, i have to use a proxy connection with authorization - and the problem is that i have configured all proxy settings and event then updates and symantec cannot connect, any idea why? [18:12] Baz_: setup an ssh key with seahorse, and let seahorse configure the remote server for you. then when you ssh to it, seahorse will automaically log you in [18:12] I have a weird problem. I'm trying to boot ubuntu from a usb device, and I have told bios that usb dev is first boot device etc etc, but as long as I leave ie cdrom and hard disk bootable (second and third boot dev) it skips to harddisk automatically, and if I disable hdd and cdrom completely I get "Boot error, no system installed" or something to that effect... This is an old computer, and it has IDE drives if that helps determine the proble [18:12] where's ActionParsnip when u need em [18:12] How can i view the deb packages that i have installed manually? [18:12] <\kira> tweak66: found it [18:12] good lol [18:12] <\kira> tweak66: apt-cache search smartctl [18:12] hemanth: thanks but I only use free/open software [18:12] <\kira> tweak66: :) [18:12] maco, its not for ssh login... its a password manager for my bank accounts, my ebay login, etc... I would like to be able to access those passwords if i am not at my computer, securely... [18:12] kirs: what is that package? [18:12] kira* [18:13] <\kira> tweak66: thanks, thats going to be REALLY useful in the future, the package was smartmontools [18:13] BleSS, bubbl.us/ [18:13] kira: :P [18:13] <\kira> tweak66: thanks, thats going to be REALLY useful in the future, the package was smartmontools [18:13] BleSS, is the best for u then :) [18:13] <\kira> tweak66: opps, double :| [18:13] Baz_: oh. i thought you meant it held your ssh passwords for you. no...i dont think there's any way to make gvfs act enough like gnome-vfs for it. youd have to use gnome 2.20 (gutsy) to get gnome-vfs [18:14] Is there a video recorder like fraps for windows for ubuntu? [18:14] Baz_: gutsy is going end of life (no more security updates, no more repositories) in april though [18:14] kira: s'okay. [18:14] hemanth: thanks for the link, I cann't find it [18:14] <_Vi_> topsub: try istanbul [18:14] and seeing as no one is responding, ill ask for the third time [18:14] under software sources-updates, whats the dashed checkbox mean for recommended updates? [18:15] Although 2 Ubuntu-8.04.2 computer are in the same LAN, the command 'hostname -d' produces different output. What is the reason? [18:15] Hi Cobra_Girl [18:15] BleSS, you just start drawing it there , its a RICH app , you need not download anything [18:15] hi tweak66 [18:16] i want to make webhosting srever [18:16] any one help me [18:16] <_Vi_> Kernel updates always ruin something or another,,, should i just not update today's/yesterdays kernel upgrade? Or is it really important? [18:16] it worked for me [18:16] khuram, install ubuntu server and follow the prompts it asks. [18:16] or ask a more specific question ;) [18:16] i instaled [18:17] khuran: Have you looked at the Forums?

[18:19] I'm looking at the Software Sources administration window, under Updates there is "Recommended Updates." It has a '-' on the checkbox instead of a check, what does this mean? [18:19] khuram, just explain whats wrong. youre making it too difficult for us to help you [18:19] ok [18:19] \kira: The domain in the same LAN should be same, should it not? [18:19] whats main thing for hosting [18:19] depends what youre hosting [18:19] <_Vi_> Anyone on 8.04 have any issues with yesterdays kernel update? I'm kinda scared to update :) [18:19] just give me links and i try my best [18:20] I don't think there is anything wrong... I think he just don't know what he wants. [18:20] you want a webserver presumably [18:20] _vi_>>same here [18:20] i kernel panicked after upgrade [18:20] I think so too carpii [18:20] when you installed ubuntu server it would have asked what sort of thigns you want to install [18:20] khuram, what do you want to host? there are too many options to just say "install this or that" [18:20] _Vi_ : I was unaware of an update,,but will look now....

[18:22] every linux-headers + llinux-images >> force version >> downgrade [18:22] nogeek1: you need to be root to format drives. the permissions will be root if you mounted it as root [18:22] how can i accass my server for deskop [18:22] khuram, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Servers [18:22] do you have a DNS server or someone managing the domains for your future websites? if you don't need it then just install apache [18:22] anyone here loaded 8.10 on an HP model dv9819wm?

[18:23] i upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 a few days ago, and i like 8.04 better, is there a way to roll back the upgrade so that i am using 8.04 again ? [18:23] eno, no not really [18:23] i had to reinstall [18:24] khuram, maybe you're looking for this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [18:24] carpii: you had to reinstall ?

Is there some sort of config file I can edit to tell windows a default location to start up?

[18:46] neosuki, the remote desktop runs in ubuntu but not xubuntu [18:46] Jinxed--, also http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index.html has that and more useful stuff [18:46] Does it matter if I am running a 64 bit operating system right now? [18:46] <_VIM_> rafaelscj: have you tried installing ubuntu-restricted-extras? [18:46] Jinxed--: nope [18:46] Jinxed--, no, you can use either 64 or 32 bit ubuntu [18:46] ubunto runs in 64bit as well just look for the right package [18:46] Jinxed--: no.. what happens is your boot manager is replaced with grub so you'll have a choice on boot where you want to go. [18:46] rafaelscj, so you cannot use or install flash at all? i dont know what else to do for you [18:46] _VIM_, still no [18:46] O__o: in ubuntu, which appln do u use for remote desktop? [18:46] im all out of ideas [18:47] Jinxed--, dual boot means exactly that: whatever os you boot is in complete control independently of the other os [18:47] neosuki: Try rdesktop [18:47] and you can virtualize windows so you can use both at the same time or do a dual boot but you wont be able to use both at the same time [18:47] <_VIM_> rafaelscj: type 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' No quotes [18:47] O__o: please try with tsclient or krdc [18:47] neosuki, the one in system | preference | remote desktop [18:47] I never heard of the problems your having rafaelscj [18:47] usr13: http://pastebin.com/m2715a582 [18:47] usr13: there were a lot of each example [18:47] nogeek1: you usually need to change the permissions on the directory where your drive is mounted to be owned by your user, and rwx. go to a terminal and type "sudo chown -R username /media/mountpoint && sudo chmod -R 777 /media/mountpoint" where username is your username and /media/mountpoint is the place where the drive is mounted. ideally you'd add an entry to fstab, google for a howto [18:48] _VIM_, okay [18:48] Flash, anyway thanks [18:48] is it a good idea to run ubuntu from a windows vm?

System>Admin>SynapticPkg Manager>Edit>Mark Packages by Task> Choose what you want here. [18:50] why not? vm is like running two different systems [18:50] slaps baz* lol [18:50] woli you might also want to consider wubi [18:50] !wubi | woli [18:50] woli: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [18:50] is remote desktop in ubuntu the same as vnc? [18:51] woli, i like to run other OS"s on thumb drives from linux on vm"s [18:51] O__o: remote desktop is VNC [18:51] woli, if you decide on wubi, be sure to use the exact instructions, including all the defrag stuff. [18:51] because the remote desktop in windows isnt the same as vnc [18:51] usr13: ok, i guess you're not here anymore [18:51] so i got confuse here [18:51] O__o: windows doesn't understand vnc, but there are vnc servers and clients for windows [18:51] ubottu rules. [18:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about rules. [18:51] anyone able to run Photoshop CS4 decently under VirtualBox? (winxp guest/xubuntu host) [18:51] O__o: Remote desktop in windows is based on terminal services, Remote Desktop in Ubuntu is VNC pretty much [18:51] they are both remote desktops but used to connect to different systems... vnc is more for windows to linux and remote is windows to windows. [18:51] O__o: for using VNC, you use a client to log on a server. And then you can use the PC on which the server is running [18:51] that was rules the verb and not the noun. [18:51] w [18:52] fluitfries: cs2 works fine in wine [18:52] fluitfries, totally off topic (and sorta) [18:52] so which vnc server is best for xubuntu? [18:52] nickrud: why off topic? i'm looking for ways to optimize my xubuntu/VirtualBox installation. [18:52] <_VIM_> !best [18:52] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [18:52] i want to run side-by-side. The reason for which I chose to run linux from windows was because I need windows' fun and games [18:52] an yone tested CS4 under wine? its getting gold and platinum on winehq.org [18:52] does xubuntu come with default vnc like ubuntu does? [18:53] !vnc [18:53] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [18:53] O__o: hm let me have a look at the list of servers. you should have one installed but disabled by default [18:53] fluitfries, cs4 is offtopic since it's a windows app. actual ubuntu support questions are welcome here. [18:53] so does anyone know anything about hidef 720 movie files? [18:53] #xubuntu [18:53] ask there [18:53] fluitfries, and like I said, sorta :) mostly opengl issues [18:53] i got a movie that acts like a music file but wont burn and has no extention [18:54] vexue: do « file moviefile » [18:54] what do I do when a launcher i made won't run a program? [18:54] thehook: #winehq would be a better place to ask [18:54] nickrud: you can't ignore the host os when it comes to virtualization. i'm running xfce for a reason. so i'm still not clear on why you think i'm looking for help with CS4. I'm looking for help in speeding up virtualization... [18:54] nickrud: but i appreciate your answer. :) [18:54] I think crt + f2 [18:54] fluitfries, it's an appropriate question for #ubuntu-offtopic, since it does relate to ubuntu but doesn't relate entirely to ubuntu [18:54] type the name of the program [18:54] and enter [18:55] nickrud: i see.

[20:05] VGA [20:05] rkpisanu: yes it is :) [20:05] rkpisanu: just ensure to remove any existing version when you install a new one, to avoid conflicts [20:05] dragonmaster: yeah thats about the extent of the problem i have, cant really help you much further - sorry [20:05] That is okay. [20:05] I am wondering if it is because it doesn't properly see the monitor. [20:05] Is it a bad idea to burn too many DVDs within minutes of eachother? I need to burn 4 and after the two I just did I keep getting "Unhandled Error" [20:06] dragonmaster, have you enabled proprietary drivers? [20:06] Not that I know of.

[20:08] dragonmaster: use the hardware drivers app under (system>>administration>>hardware drivers), it should detect the drivers for your ati card [20:08] dragonmaster, yeah try that: sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk [20:09] grindking, try nullidentd [20:09] Prabz: Yes. [20:09] So what to do? [20:09] i was using bidentd, but it looks like it broke, thanks seveas [20:09] anybody use dirac? [20:09] Prabz: Is this the first install of mysql?

[20:11] The_Joe_ -> from my cheap drive, yes it is wise to let it cool off for a few, laser gets too hot i guess [20:11] try leaving about 2 minutes between DVDs and see if you still get that error [20:11] The_Joe_: probably u can try having optimized write speed [20:11] Pici, actually I have dabbled with installling it for a long time, got successful once, but now it isn't working.. I tried sudo apt-get remove mysql-server and then installing it again.. it's not working [20:11] The_Joe_: lesser the write speed is better [20:11] mogwai, I just waited about 10 minutes before I tried again, same thing [20:12] yeah try reducing write speed [20:12] not a heat problem then [20:12] Pici, firewall changes, no [20:12] VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 PF/PRO AGP 4x TMDS [20:12] Where is the files downloaded per apt-get?

[20:14] pidgin is irc now? [20:14] The_Joe_: the slower the burn speed the better in my experience [20:14] Unknown monitor.

[20:20] yorky501: yeah pretty simple [20:20] Even for an old card [20:20] <_VIM_> yorky501: its graphical if that's what you mean [20:20] Try looking in the the 'System' menu under 'Administration' and choose 'Hardware Drivers'.

[20:21] right [20:21] dragonmaster, is it offering some options to "activate" some ati drivers? [20:21] <_VIM_> yorky501: just because its' GUI doesnt make something easy, but it's not too complicated if you know what you want to do [20:21] dragonmaster, try sudo aticonfig --resolution=0,1280x1024,1024x768,800x600 [20:22] I have a problem.

[20:23] (problem is an old nvidia card and the fact that legacy drivers do not comple with new kernels) [20:24] <_VIM_> doesnt kernel.org have precompiled kernels? [20:24] dragonmaster, read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=359310 [20:25] _VIM_: the kind I could just stuff in my Intrepid? I doubt it. and I need headers too.

[20:50] latenubuntu: you've been told to contact your ISP/hosting provider about your ubuntu install, it is not a stock install, your ISP has customised it, we can't support it [20:50] <_VIM_> Xamusk: then you'll see it in System > Administration > Simple backup config [20:50] quick question-- does anyone know where I can find the changelog for the kernel updates [20:51] _VIM_: yeah it looks like you should do chown user:group /home/*/public_html but i didn't have an issue changing permissions by just specifying the user [20:51] _VIM_, thanks... I'll take a look at it... usually I use rsync for backup [20:51] <_VIM_> redvamp128: maybe ask in #ubuntu-dev i think it's called [20:51] <_VIM_> cr4z3d: ah ok cool :) [20:51] so does anyone know how to dual boot w/vista using fakeraid ? [20:52] I am only asking about it because when I downloaded it last night it was unavailible [20:52] hello [20:52] what's the best way to convert audio formats? Soundconverter isn't working for me [20:52] <_VIM_> redvamp128: really? the first thing i woke up to this mornign was a red triangle update icon , saying i need to update kernel stuff [20:53] thebishop: audacity? [20:53] test [20:53] _VIM_, red triangle or red down arrow? [20:53] last night I clicked the more info -- and it said unavailible [20:53] thebishop: You could try Audacity [20:53] i am having problems installing updates in 8.10 server. is there a problem with the repos? [20:53] <_VIM_> hatter243: looked like a triangle to me [20:53] <_VIM_> heh [20:53] kfogel, meh, that's a pretty heavyweight app. I've got a bunch of wavs I want to be mp3, but sometimes i have flac. isn't there some lightweight app that can batch process? [20:54] kfogel, i used to have a nautilus script that did it [20:54] thebishop: I don't know. It may be possible to drive audacity in batch mode; I haven't looked into it myself though. [20:54] thebishop: but it depends on what format the file is in and what format you want to convert it to [20:54] _VIM_, I was wondering if you got your pidgin/ubuntu away icon scambled ~_^ [20:54] <_VIM_> hatter243: i dont use pidgin [20:55] is Gstream legal in the US? [20:55] thebishop: you could whack together a script and use mencoder on the command-line [20:55] hi. I have installed the jack gstreamer plugin and was wondering how to get rid of it... any ideas? [20:56] <_VIM_> Joeseph: you dont see it in synaptic when you search "JACK" or "Gstreamer"? [20:56] Use synaptic? [20:56] im having problems with synaptic too...i used to be able to search "amarok" in the synaptic manager and other programs and it would show me them, but now no third party apps work? [20:57] <_VIM_> Joeseph: or what shows up when you type gstream and press TAB a couple times? [20:57] <_VIM_> in a terminal [20:57] _VIM_: No I do not. [20:57] is there any way to install ext4 with intrepid? [20:57] _VIM_: first I get properties... [20:58] Xamusk: no [20:58] Although 2 Ubuntu-8.04.2 computer are in the same LAN, the command 'hostname -d' produces different output. What is the reason? [20:58] How do you tell ubuntu what brand of monitor you are using? [20:58] then... is jaunty stable enough? [20:58] Xamusk: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion. [20:58] <_VIM_> properties? Joeseph pastebin the output of dpkg -l *gstream* to http://paste.ubuntu.com [20:59] Is there a way to do it?

[21:00] I might go back to Windows until I find a monitor that works properly with ubuntu, or try another Linux version. [21:00] Hello all,i have a problem with Ubuntu 8.10 and cannot conect to the internet [21:00] ikonia: I do not understand your message. I did not speak about any flag. [21:00] bullgard4: -d is a flagf [21:00] flag [21:00] _VIM_: Well... let me explain it this way. Rhythmbox connects through jack, I did this a long time ago and I can't remember how... I was wondering how to get it working through my standard sound. (alsa) [21:01] bullgard4: -d is the dns domain name [21:01] i click to system>preferences>network configuration>in the autoeth0 i add the ips and DNSs [21:01] whats the terminal command to check my ip address? something like "ifconf" ? [21:01] sweetgum2: ifconfig [21:01] it says to me that is conected but i cannot open a page [21:01] i want to build my own ubuntu distro... has anyone tried this ---> http://maketecheasier.com/reconstructor-creating-your-own-ubuntu-distribution/2008/07/05 [21:01] ikonia: Ah, I understand now. I would call that '-d' a switch. [21:02] Hi. Got no sound in flash in Opera. Flash in FireFox works fine. What could it be? [21:02] bullgard4: switch, thats fine too [21:02] sweetgum2: completion works on terminal too, try ifc [21:02] anyone can help me? [21:02] <_VIM_> Joeseph: ok well sound issues are over my head, you'll have to just keep asking the channel, someone will eventually help you :) [21:02] does "sudo apt-get remove ...." every installed file? what is useually leave behind after you uninstall a package? [21:02] I have no sound hre in Ubuntu 8.10 either [21:03] _VIM_: Thanks... I'll do so... right now, I'm going to reinstall all the gstream** packages in synaptic I see. [21:03] IF anybody else cares, there seems to be a beta of legacy drivers that should work wit intrepid. [21:03] who should I complain to so that the package gets updated? [21:03] <_VIM_> kouya: i think usually config files [21:04] i try to install some plasmoid for my kubuntu 8.10 kde 4.2 .... when i hit the command cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX='kde4-config-prefix'.. it always get me the following error... see here http://paste.ubuntu.com/111413/plain/ can you help me ???

[21:05] I am struggling with ldap and have been following https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html But it always fails. Anyone know of a better guide? I am on Ubuntu w/stn 8.10 [21:05] dragonmaster: i thinks its a bug flash... i did a 8.04 clean install and flash was not good... i remove every flash + restricted sw and reinstall... starting w/adobe flash [21:05] <_VIM_> kouya: I think it depends on the package. not too sure really beyond that [21:05] and then installing all other restricted sw later [21:05] guntbert where can i find network manager applet? [21:06] sajmiri: run 'ifconfig' from the terminal and see what you get [21:06] I am out of here for now. I might try back later. [21:06] Take care everyone.

[21:07] SAJMIRI: in the top panel, where the "connected balloon" showed, there should be an icon (maybe a monitor), if you hover over it it will show "connectd..." again [21:07] when i put the IPs and click OK after i reopen it the netmask changes to 24 not to my 255.255.255.0 [21:07] getxsick, Yeah.

[21:08] <_VIM_> kouya: do this... 'sudo updatedb' then do 'locate APPnameGoesHere' taht should tell you where an app has it's config files [21:09] SAJMIRI: the netmask is the same (24 means 24 bit = 255.255.255.0) [21:09] <_VIM_> kouya: also stick a '|less' at the end of that [21:09] anyone know how to change the settings for the mouse and touchpad independently on intrepid?

[21:11] thanks chocobana, whenever I change my xorg.conf (which in intrepid seems to be empty) I get a EE parse error [21:11] Does anyone knows why Ubuntu 8.10 with repository FGLRX driver, doesn't remember a dual screen setup as an extended desktop and keeps reverting to clone mode each time I login? [21:11] guys, I've just updated to the latest kernel (updates that came today) and suddenly X won't recognize my graphics drivers (I've been using the nVIDIA forceware from their website). I was wondering if there was a way to remove these forceware drivers, revert to using the generic nv driver that originally came w/ 8.10 and then get the proprietary drivers that ubuntu suggests [21:11] methadone, What about just renaming yer xorg.conf and letting the system recreate it on the fly...??? [21:12] methadone: probably the nvidia driver was not recompiled for the new kernel. [21:12] SAJMIRI: I want to be sure I understand your needs - you said you typed IP and netmask. Where did you type that? [21:12] is there a decent 64 bit adobe flash player yet? [21:12] Any way to view a visio document? [21:12] methadone: nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:12] is there a good wallpaper utility for ubuntu? [21:12] methadone: replace nvidia with nv [21:12] yes there is a 64 bit flafh goto adobe and download [21:12] pbuckley, Is there a decent ANY BIT Adobe program? [21:12] that's all the forceware installation does? [21:13] methadone: it's best to stick with the repository nvidia driver [21:13] yup that's what I'm planning on doing [21:13] from now on ;p [21:13] <_VIM_> nano? ick *points to my nick* [21:13] alright, brb [21:13] in network connections ,>autoeth0 IPV4 setting> method>manual and filled all field [21:13] with ip netmask gateway [21:13] what is the apt- command to clear out the local cache dir?

[22:38] redvamp128, it doesnt seem to have changed the file [22:38] yoyit2: you'll have to separate the networking from the services.. networking (tcp/ip and such) work without problems between windows and linux computers.. there is a standard.. but then there are services.. file sharing, authentication, im, ssh etc.. that's a different deal.. there you might get some problems working with windows and linux [22:38] i just intalled ubuntu [22:38] !dns 189.176.77.38 [22:38] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:38] dras: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[22:40] Slart: what is samba [22:40] Slart: I'm confused, Is this actually under the BIOS [22:40] dras: you're downloading from the one repository.. use a mirror that is closer to you [22:40] anyone have a sylvania with wireless working? [22:40] I am encrypting a > 6GB file [22:40] isaak: I take it you are trying to install printer drivers-- [22:40] redvamp128, k i will look [22:40] redvamp128, yes i am [22:40] BenSmith: it should be.. there is a setting on my nvidia board [22:40] interesting....the hardware sensors applet doesn't seem able to read the CPU temperature for Dell Vostro with Intel Core 2 Duo [22:40] redvamp128, actually scanner as well its allinone [22:41] Slart. I'm running ASUS P5Q Pro [22:41] damm totem is useless to play DVD's :( [22:41] yoyit2: samba is "windows file sharing" for linux [22:41] Slart: Ill take a look right now === linux_guy is now known as the_linux_idiot [22:41] what to do with 'half-configured samba'... i want to clean EVERYTHING and reinstall? [22:41] BenSmith: do that.. see what you can find.. if you're uncertain write down the settings, what they are called and such and ask again [22:41] Icewind do you have libdvdcss2 and w32codecs installed [22:42] what to do with 'half-configured samba'... i want to clean EVERYTHING and reinstall? apt-get purge samba doesnt help [22:42] now install fails every time === the_linux_idiot is now known as linux_guy [22:43] Slart: ok what i want to do is i have 2 linux computers and 2 windows computer i have a external harddrive that i want to connect to one windows computer so every computer can access it [22:43] do i need to reinstall ubuntu? [22:43] :) [22:43] redvamp128, ya i went to one of those sites they listed for the driver and now i am converting it so i can use it [22:43] yoyit2: ok.. the networking part is no problem.. the computer can talk to each other if you just connect them with a router or hub.. [22:43] kaj, i do! [22:43] Slart: I'm currently transfering files, should take about a half an hour. But I have more questions do you mind answering them? [22:44] I need help installing OpenDNS in Ubuntu 8.10. When I type "gksudo network-admin" I see a window for a few secs and then it shuts down. I have also tried to do like this guide suggest but there is no such "Unlock" button or DNS options (http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=576). Help! [22:44] Slart: they are allready connected now what do i do my linux computer only sees windows computer not my other linux computer [22:44] yoyit2: sharing files over the network will be "file sharing", right?.. windows can only use "windows file sharing".. but linux, luckily is a bit more advanced and can work with both windows computers and linux computers [22:44] wolfey: say you've installed samba-common package. You can uninstall it by "apt-get purge samba-common" and also run "apt-get autoremove" [22:44] and I'm using original DVD no copy... still the play is choppy [22:44] yoyit2: in linux you have to use samba to do "windows file sharing" [22:44] sometime it evens looses the sound [22:45] wikzo: you should run it without sudo/gksu or whatever [22:45] yoyit2: how do you mean "see it"? [22:45] Slart: ok but my linux computer doesent see my other linux computer [22:45] wikzo: then press the unlock button and enter your password there [22:45] isaak: why didn't you just download this and use gdeb? http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/debian/dists/lsb3.1/main/binary-i386/gutenprint_5.0.1-1lsb3.1_i386.deb [22:45] I am trying to encryptin >6GB file using gpg and I get file write error. What is wrong here.. The comamnd is tar - /some/dir | gpg -e -r jkernik@gmail.com -o outfilename.gpg [22:45] Slart: i go to network and it only shows windows net work doesent show any linux computers [22:45] what to do with 'half-configured samba'... i want to clean EVERYTHING and reinstall? apt-get purge samba doesnt help ... install fails every time now.. do i need to reinstall ubuntu? [22:46] Hey [22:46] hey wolfey, I asked.. [22:46] redvamp128, wats that does it help ur scanner as well? [22:46] yoyit2: this whole "seeing the entire network" is also a windows networking thing.. installing samba will let linux computers see windows computers (and linux computers running samba) [22:46] oCean_: sorry, what did you ask? [22:46] mgolisch: Oh, now I know why I can't. It's because I have installed Wicd instead of the standard network-manager. Is there any other way to get OpenDNS? [22:46] What does cpu0 mean.. i mean i got quadcore, is cpu0 allcores together or what? [22:46] redvamp128, cuz my printer works fine but the scanner part does not [22:46] ps. im conffing conky [22:46] wolfey: scrollback a few lines... said about apt-get purge [22:46] isaak: ahh -- I did a search for the file you are converting without the ending and this is where it lead me to [22:46] slart ok can i acces a external hardrive form a dif computer useing samba [22:47] quadcore should have cpus 0-3 [22:47] yoyit2: you don't see googles computers in that list, right? can you still use google? [22:47] ahh ok makes sense [22:47] ice_cream, Ok, thanks. [22:47] yoyit2: yes [22:47] slart ya how do i install samba [22:47] Slart: Once I get this the server operating system working. Will I be able to set up a website on it? [22:47] wikzo: yeah you can set dns server in wicd too [22:47] !samba | yoyit2 [22:47] yoyit2: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[22:47] redvamp128, explicate its not the same file as the two i am dling [22:47] BenSmith: sure [22:47] slart thanks for all your help [22:47] oCean_: i have huge problems with printing, so i decided to start clean.. :) [22:48] BenSmith: you can install Apache for example [22:48] yoyit2: you're welcome [22:48] my laptops 2nd fan doesn't ever seem to turn on anymore.. does it have anything to do with the "timer not connected to ACPI" message i get at boot? and my CPU is idling 10C (temp) higher than it did with windows.. [22:48] mgolisch: I just check "Use global DNS servers" and type in the two servers written here? (https://www.opendns.com/homenetwork/start/device/ubuntu) [22:48] redvamp128, so its pretty useless if it only fixes my print problem [22:48] isaak: Install .rpm Files in Ubuntu -- Ubuntu Geek [22:49] wolfey: so, dpkg says all of samba is not removed. Did you do "apt-get purge " ? [22:49] oCean_: THANX SO MUCH:) [22:49] Slart: How easy is this to do? [22:49] wikzo: yeah [22:49] hy [22:49] oCean_: yeah [22:49] wolfey: ah, ok. That solved it? [22:49] but not samba-common [22:49] yes [22:49] i want install ubuntu [22:49] hi all. i'm following some very simple directions and having a hard time with them. i'm new to ubuntu (using 8.10), and I'm trying to get world of warcraft up and running through wine, but I can't seem to get the latest expansion properly installed (dvd is protected). any wisdom available? [22:49] and i give CPU frequency scaling not supported [Ok] [22:49] wolfey: ok. Glad to be of help. Now on to the (re)installing :) [22:49] oCean_: i didnt get it how purge didnt help.. no real message under /var/log/dpkg.log [22:49] BenSmith: hehe.. for someone that has done it before and knows what to do.. very easy.. for someone new to networking and new to windows networks.. could take 10 minutes.. could take a week =/ [22:50] redvamp128, thats exactly what i am doing right now [22:50] isaak: as I said before you have to be actually in the directory that you are running alien in-- (been a while since I had to convert a file) but that is what I remember-- and I think your issue as to why it was not working [22:50] Slart: hahah Hope your on here when I get it working!! [22:50] isaak: is because you were in the home but it was on the desktop [22:50] hi [22:50] Guys, why gpg doesn't work on large files on ubuntu 64-bit?! [22:50] bye [22:50] BenSmith: try to share the drive between the two windows computers first.. when you have that working you can start with the linux computers [22:50] redvamp128, i got it to work but how do i switch directory back [22:50] hey everyone [22:50] ubuntu kernel panics the whole time.. are there any docs for sorting this out? [22:50] make things blink different colors? [22:50] redvamp128, now its always from the desktop [22:50] redvamp128, is it cd home? [22:51] wolfey: I'm not sure.. is there a question :/ [22:51] Why files >4GB have problems on ubuntu? [22:51] BenSmith: there's almost always someone here to help you if you get stuck [22:51] Slart: Can you explain in more detail? [22:51] jkernik: the same reason the sun sometimes crashes in the ocean [22:51] I updated and now I have no sound, or almost: If I play an mp3 with totem, it works. If I try to listen to lastfm music, it says alsa is either buzy or not present. No sound in flash (firefox / youtube)... Any Idea? I've got this problem since yesterday, been googling on that since then. No one could help yet. [22:51] oCean_: i had weird chars printed over stuff... on top of exploring it for 2 days i saw in /var/log/messages .. WARNING cups using MAC friendly Avahi... [22:51] oCean_: that was it... i said clean all :) [22:51] slart: Huh?! [22:51] Slart: Cool. You guys are great [22:52] jkernik: it doesn't is the answer to both questions =) [22:52] jkernik mayve you use fat32 partition this no permit files more bigger than 4gb [22:52] oCean_: it was cups problem basicly [22:52] BenSmith: we try [22:52] is ubuntu debian? or not? [22:52] DaGU: I see [22:52] oCean_: but if i changed everything i can as well set it right this time [22:52] ok im stuck,, i have an internal gps, is there a command for gpsd to scan and find it? [22:52] kaj: based on debian, afaik [22:52] kaj: it is based on debian, but it is not debian [22:52] wolfey: indeed [22:52] lesshaste: maybe look if they finaly introduced any crashdump facilities into ubuntu, for some reason they had analysis tools like crash for trillion years but no crashdump facilities in the kernel [22:52] :) [22:52] jkernik: ubuntu in itself has no problems with files larger than 4 GB [22:52] Hi I want my apple airport extreme to dump its logs to my server I can use syslog to dump the log info but what do I need to do on the server side? [22:52] I just installed ubuntu and I am unable to access my ntfs partitions [22:52] anyone aware of any recent changes (last few days) to jaunty? my mouse and keyboard no longer respond at all under kdm+kde but work fine at the console. [22:53] mgolisch, there is this crashkernel boot prompt argument [22:53] mgolisch, but I don't really see any docs [22:53] jkernik: FAT32 might have some problems with it.. but you can't really blame ubuntu for that [22:53] !ntfs | sunfizz98 [22:53] sunfizz98: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [22:53] anybody help me?

[22:54] oCean_: basicly it's PCL printer on server.. i had problems printing raw, so i decided to switch to postscript for clients... what ya think? [22:54] Slart: Yeah, but i can't remember what it was. [22:54] Dagu, Slart: You guys are right. It is FAT32 [22:54] gpsd coomand to scan 4 GPS? how???? [22:54] yoyit2: what do you mean by "connect"? share files? yes use ftp? yes [22:54] i want install ubuntu i give CPU frequency scaling not supported [Ok], i have a intel pentium 4 3.60Ghz [22:54] BenSmith: =) [22:54] wikzo_: look into /etc/resolv.conf if it has the nameserver there at all, otherwise you did something wrong probabaly [22:54] Should I change that to ext3? [22:54] jkernik: depends.. are you going to access it from windows? [22:54] slart um how do you ftp [22:55] wolfey: as long as the printer(-server) understand ps you should be fine [22:55] Slart:If I have information on my server, but shut down the server, I won't be able to get to the information right? === maco_ is now known as maco [22:55] what and how do I make syslog notice my routers log data its sending?! [22:55] jkernik: how did you get files iver 4gb onto that all? [22:55] that shouldnt be possible [22:55] does anyone know how to search for a file in synaptstic? [22:55] oCean_: well it's ubuntu server... i guess it understand postscript since that's locally used?!;) [22:55] i can't find the file pipslite [22:55] !ntfs [22:55] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [22:55] yoyit2: it's another service that runs on top of the network.. the web (firefox, http://) is another.. telnet is another.. file sharing (samba) is another.. [22:55] what is the file browser exec file? gnome-??? [22:55] isaak: file? you want to install apt-file and use apt-file search somefile [22:56] Slart: Nope no windows here! [22:56] mgolisch: What should I find in that folder? There is a file called interface-order, maybe it is that? [22:56] tripps: nautilus [22:56] mgolisch, oh how do i do that [22:56] jkernik: then there's no reason to use FAT32 or ntfs.. ext3 will do nicely [22:56] Slart: what do i have to do to my windows computer to ba able to share files [22:56] Slart : This is an external USB drive,.. [22:56] mgolisch, thanks! [22:56] GPS HELP<<<<<<<<<<< [22:56] hi all. i'm following some very simple directions and having a hard time with them. i'm new to ubuntu (using 8.10), and I'm trying to get world of warcraft up and running through wine, but I can't seem to get the latest expansion properly installed (dvd is protected). any wisdom available? [22:56] mgolisch, wats the exact code [22:56] !ntfs-3g [22:56] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [22:56] Slart: Do you think I I can format it to be ext3? [22:57] isaak: On the top is a Search panel, click it, a search box opens. [22:57] jkernik: I use ntfs for my external drives.. just in case I want to use them in a windows computer.. your choice really [22:57] isaak: install the apt-file package, then on a cmdline run sudo apt-file update ... wait then you can serach for files with apt-file search somefile and it will give you the packages the file is in [22:57] greekphilosophy: you may want check #winehq [22:57] jkernik: yes, I would be very surprised if you weren't able to format it [22:57] does gpsd have a command to find the gps? [22:57] isaak: i doubt synaptics contains that functionality [22:57] thanks ikonia [22:57] greekphilosophy: wine is a pretty fussy system [22:57] wikzo_: /etc/resolv.conf is a file, it holds the nameservers used to do dns lookups [22:58] yoyit2: that is really something you should ask a windows user about.. I haven't messed with that in quite some time [22:58] wikzo_: look into that to see if wicd actualy applied the dns servers [22:58] synaptic has that function to search but i can't find the file pipslite [22:58] like i am suppose to [22:58] mgolisch: It doesn't :( [22:58] cline: I think you have to tell it which device to use [22:58] Slart: :( ok [22:58] mgolisch, synaptic has that function to search but i can't find the file pipslite [22:58] cline: something like gpsd /dev/blablabla [22:58] wikzo_: then you did something wrong or maybe wicd crashed or whatever [22:58] mgolisch: And it says that I can't edit it [22:58] HELLO, anybody help me?pls:( [22:58] !ask | RbK` [22:58] RbK`: 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. :-) [22:58] isaak: make certain the filters are set to accept it, then search ALL [22:58] i want install ubuntu i give CPU frequency scaling not supported [Ok], i have a intel pentium 4 3.60Ghz [22:59] slart thats the problem,, its an internal gps and i just installd ubuntu, dont know what to do [22:59] if i add a user with useradd, which is the default password?? [22:59] wikzo_: yeah you can only edit it using root priviledges, but be aware of the fact that if you use dhcp it will overwrite the file everytime you request an ip from dhcp [22:59] RbK`: you may have to enable it in your bios [22:59] Slart: why cant it be simply like windows networks [22:59] wikzo_: and replace the nameserver with the one supplied by the dhcp server [22:59] hey guys how can i install the pixmap engine on ubuntu? [22:59] i cant find it in synaptic [22:59] cline: check through the messages in dmesg, see if it mentions a gps somewhere.. also check lsusb and lspci for something that looks like a gps [23:00] yoyit2: windows networks is anything but simple... [23:00] mgolisch: Sorry, I am not sure that I understand. What do you suggest I could do? In the Wicd options the DNS I typed in is still there, but the resolv.conf shows me the standard DNS [23:00] man why does ubuntu have to suck so much? [23:00] whay have have to enable in bios? [23:00] kaj: don't start a fight, we are here to help with your problems [23:00] wikzo_: do you use dhcp? if yes change the dns server on your dhcp server [23:01] RbK`: scaling is a bios supported function [23:01] Slart: u diddnt have to to anything and i can connect to windows network but i have to get samba to connect to linux computers [23:01] mgolisch: I have no idea what dhcp is [23:01] kaj: since we are basement-dwelling nerds without girlfriends it's a very sought after feature.. ;) [23:01] ill try dmesg, i tried lshw, ls pci -v, the only thing i found was a pan0 that i didnt know, [23:01] hey guys how can i install the pixmap engine on ubuntu? i cant find it in the repositories [23:01] RbK`: the bios has to support it too, not just the cpu [23:01] Melik: use "apt-cache search pixmap" [23:01] mgolisch: But I found the same bug via Google: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=226 [23:01] not starting a fight just had better luck with fedora or open suse [23:01] kaj: use what works for you [23:01] the whole no root thing messes me up [23:02] yoyit2: setting up networking between two linux machine is very easy.. but try getting a windows machine to share files "the linux way" and you'll run into so many problems it's just not funny any more [23:02] Slart: does samba have a gui [23:02] I have a laptop with windows, ubuntu and grub. I want to uninstall all of it and then install only Xubuntu.. How should I do that? [23:02] yoyit2: there is a web interface for setting it up.. but that's it I think [23:02] yoyit2: it's called swat [23:02] Wips, just run the ubuntu installer and repartition the whole drive [23:02] Slart: where do i go to use it [23:02] ikonia: and see how you can bios support? Sorry, but there are beginner [23:03] could someone tell me how to fix, etc/resolv.conf, thanks [23:03] guys, my new hdd is much slower than it should be...where should i start to investigate this problem? [23:03] oCean_: well after reinstall it's same :( [23:03] RbK`: reboot your PC and you'll see a key sequence to enter the bios [23:03] carpii: I dont have the ubuntu cd anymore. can I do it with the xubuntu cd? [23:03] hi all [23:03] well sure, if you want to install xbuntu === Starnestommy is now known as lstarnes [23:03] I do.. [23:03] How do I view the posix manpage for cp as opposed to the linux manpage which seems to be default [23:03] ok :) [23:03] ok so does anyone know how to get the text over the desktop in ubuntu i used corkey in opensuse but here it seems to be in a form of a desklet? [23:03] Guest92595: I will not ask again [23:03] oCean_: purge foomatic too? ;) [23:03] kaj: if you feel another distro makes your life easier why not use that.. all the major ones have similar functionality.. [23:03] oCean_: though locally printing works :) [23:03] hm [23:04] kaj: you can use conky in ubuntu too [23:04] kaj: afaik it works the same way [23:04] mgolisch: What if I temporarily removed Wicd and installed network-manager and typed in the OpenDNS. Then I reinstall Wicd (I need it because the GNOME network-manager doesn't work with my laptop's network card) [23:04] yoyit2: read the link from ubotty, it's all explained there [23:04] yeah conky is X based, rather than wm specific [23:04] !samba | yoyit2 [23:04] yoyit2: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[23:05] wikzo_: again if you dont use static ip addresses the dns settings are useless as they will be replaced with the dhcp provided ones [23:05] but every time i try to use the sudo command in ubuntu it says unable to fetch repositories [23:05] I need to get my routers data to be loged at my server can anyone help me with that pls? ^_^ [23:05] any one know how to stick desklets into background [23:05] i can't delet a file off my desktop called iscan-2.15.0 [23:05] anyone know? [23:05] I make a restart to try [23:05] oCean_: for XP, Adobe's Postscript driver worked, there's no Vista version.. and my trying to trick using another postscript printer fail miserably.. i mean it prints.. but not just what i want [23:05] mikevankuik: using snmp? [23:05] ikonia, all i am asking is how to fix a problem [23:05] Guest92595: I have told you 4 times - mint is not supported here [23:05] Hello, could someone help me configure samba to join a windows network? [23:05] Slart: I want to use syslog actually [23:05] if you don't know keep quiet [23:05] i can't delet a file off my desktop called iscan-2.15.0 [23:05] kaj: "sudo ls" tells you it can't fetch repositories? [23:05] wikzo_: just run gksu gedit /etc/resolv.conf and change the nameservers and see if it works [23:05] mgolisch, do you know how to delete a file with a lock on it? [23:06] Slart: I've got SNMP activated though [23:06] wikzo_: if they are gone after restarting the connection with wicd you probably use dhcp [23:06] isaak: what do you mean= [23:06] ya to install the conky it says unable to fetch [23:06] i can't delet a file off my desktop called iscan-2.15.0 [23:06] mikevankuik: hmm.. never actually setup syslog to accept connections from remote computers.. but it can't be that hard, can it? [23:06] it says i dont have the permission [23:06] kaj: can you pastebin the full output please [23:06] friends, what is the hex code for EXT3 partition [23:06] is anyone here familiar with samba? [23:06] ok hold on [23:06] mgolisch, it says i dont have permission i can't delet a file off my desktop called iscan-2.15.0 [23:07] !info conky [23:07] conky (source: conky): highly configurable system monitor for X based on torsmo. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6.1-0ubuntu3 (intrepid), package size 179 kB, installed size 556 kB [23:07] mgolisch: Is I requiered to have 3 name servers or can I just have 2? [23:07] wikzo_: 2 is fine [23:07] kaj: have you tried using a different mirror? have you enabled the universe repository? [23:07] wikzo_: 1 works [23:07] wikzo_: two is fine [23:07] mgolisch, you know how to delet that file? [23:07] mgolisch, it says i dont have permission [23:07] ok nvm i feel dumb would help if i put conky instaed of corky lol [23:07] sudo rm file? [23:08] but be carefull [23:08] :) [23:08] kaj: easy mistake to make [23:08] Slart: I know I've got to change something in syslog but I tried with just adding the -r to the SYSLOG="" part... didn't really do it... my router is set to be sending its data to the IP of my server so I suppose it sends the data.... [23:08] Slart: this looks so complicated [23:08] ikonia, how do i delete a file with a lock on it [23:08] ikonia, may i pm you? [23:08] isaak: use super user priviliges [23:08] Bodsda: sure [23:08] cheers [23:08] mikevankuik: isn't there a setting in the syslog configuration? [23:08] ikonia, how do i use that? [23:08] mikevankuik: I think remote syslog setup is handled through inet, isn't it? [23:09] isaak: gksudo natulius to launch the gui, or sudo rm to use the command line [23:09] ok it installed but do i need any other dependancies for conky im kinda new but got some exp [23:09] Slart: no its a local setup :) the server is behind the router :) so there shouldn't be any issues there [23:09] yoyit2: mm, there is a lot of settings.. [23:09] kaj: it will do it for you [23:09] is evolution required for a well-behaved gnome desktop? I've been trying in vain to remove all of its components, but seem to be largely succeeding in wiping out packages that make no sense that they require evolution. [23:09] oCean_: could that be hardware problem? [23:09] oCean_: or filters are messed up? [23:10] and so it does now do i just do a run command or? [23:10] like firefox, asspell, gnome-control, gnome-panel, etc. [23:10] oCean_: i have most problems with pdf's with graphic [23:10] mikevankuik: yes, but syslog will still have to listen to non-local connections.. so remote in the sense that it isn't from the computer that syslog is running on [23:10] from the command line how do I disable a service? [23:10] oCean_: but it ALWAYS sends one empty page with only letter 'E' printed [23:10] mwlang: welcome to package management. :( [23:10] Sorry wolfey, I have no idea... [23:10] rest of pages mostly show what they should [23:10] pike_: a warm welcome, indeedy. [23:10] just get one or two line of high-ascii chars printed over it [23:10] cyrus__: you can stop it by running "sudo /etc/init.d/ stop" [23:11] cyrus__: which service? [23:11] ikonia, it says it cannot remove the file [23:11] mikevankuik: Slart I think that's possible through inet.. there's an udp port specified in /etc/services [23:11] Slart: I know I have to set something like SYSLOG="-r" somewhere... but that didn't fix it so that's why I'm asking [23:11] ikonia, isaak@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo rm iscan-2.15.0 [23:11] rm: cannot remove `iscan-2.15.0': Is a directory [23:11] isaak: what command are you using [23:11] mikevankuik: ok.. I'll have a look, see if I can find something.. [23:11] Slart - but i want to disable it, not just stop it [23:11] ikonia, that [23:11] rockenrole - winbind [23:11] oCean_: do you recommend any cheap ethernet lasers? ;) [23:11] Slart: cool [23:11] cyrus__: that I don't know.. sorry [23:11] oCean_: cause next printer wont be on samba:) [23:11] !pastebin [23:11] 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) [23:11] could someone help me setup a network with samba, i just have to connect to a windows network. [23:11] Slart: I'll let you know if I fixed it or found something [23:11] isaak: what ? [23:12] isaak: try sudo rm -r iscan-2.15.0 [23:12] isaak: use the pastebin please [23:12] isaak: try: sudo rm -rf iscan-2.15.0 [23:12] Slart: the 514 port UDP is open of course :) [23:12] I'm running Ibex on a MacBook 1.1, how do I set up right click and the trackpad? [23:12] Hi, [23:12] mikevankuik: =) of course [23:12] mikevankuik: open is not enough. [23:13] MikyMouse: welcome [23:13] Thank you all kindly for the help. [23:13] is there any tool to create a HTML file from a picture? lets say I designed a complete template en jpg and I want to get html without thinking [23:13] oCean_: I know I've got to tell syslog that it needs to accept log stuff from outside too :) [23:13] vigo, mwlang outbri nothing happens when i use ur thing [23:13] another random question: I am trying to restore my Ruby 1.8.7 environment after experimenting with Ruby 1.9 (which I installed from source). [23:13] mgolisch: Thank you very much. It worked! [23:13] mikevankuik: nope.. I thinking is required for creating html pages =) [23:13] MikyMouse: yes, give me 2 minutes and ill get you the link [23:14] mikevankuik: oops.. sorry.. wrong nick [23:14] Bizzeh, THANK YOU [23:14] whats the ink for paste? [23:14] Slart: np :D [23:14] MikyMouse: nope.. I thinking is required for creating html pages =) [23:14] cline, paste.ubuntu.com [23:14] sudo apt-get install ruby-full puts nearly everything back, or so it seems. but running irb reports that e2mmap.rb is missing. [23:14] Slart: ok i made a shared folder with samba now how do i acces it with a differnt linux computer [23:14] mikevankuik: yeah, but that should go through inetd right? I used to do it that way. Gathering syslogs on 1 server [23:14] ikonia, how do i remove it again? [23:14] Slart, not always, sometimes the cost of the utulity for certain web pages doesnt worth the time you have to put them [23:15] Slart: I'm going to check an other setup I have access to where we fixed it :) I'll get back to you about it in a sec ^_^ [23:15] that seems to be a file in the ruby-lang sources, so how does it go AWOL? [23:15] hello roomies [23:15] isaak: apologies I was looking at something else [23:15] oCean_: yeah :) I want all my logs on 1 server idd :) [23:15] isaak: what command where you using (sorry) [23:15] Slart, and I am CakePHp orgrammer...but it dependes on the utility of the job [23:15] MikyMouse: http://shup.com/~liquid/imgtohtml.php [23:15] yoyit2: in nautilus, write this in the address field, "smb:/// [23:15] CakePHP... damn, i hate that framework [23:16] wikzo_: your are welcome [23:16] Hi there.. I have a problem.. when I sign into my machine via ssh or sudo to root, it takes about 20-30 seconds. Anyone know what can cause this? My guess is something to do with PAM but I can't find anything wrong when I talk the logs [23:16] Bizzeh, thanks again. You should give another oprtunity to Cake..I cant live without it! === polwer is now known as greenruby [23:16] Ubuntu collects popularity of installed packages, so how do I view the most popular packages? [23:16] hi, when I start the terminal i don't get 'username@computername: $' but only '$' === patrick is now known as Guest9272 [23:16] MikyMouse: i had to use it for a large site at my last job, it over complicated a job that should have taken 6 weeks, turned it into nearly 6 months [23:16] MikyMouse: mm..I still don't think there is a image->utility that works nicely.. but who knows.. [23:17] is there any way i could vnc into a computer, and be able to use it, but have the screen be black? [23:17] how can i find the device of a serial com port in ubuntu? /dev/ttyS0 [23:17] cyphase: Just set up a seperate vncserver with a desktop [23:17] Slart, you are right, but just looking for some program that creates the skeleton, and then I get into to it to customize [23:17] cyphase: it doesn't need to have a screen at all [23:18] Slart: it didnt work [23:18] Bizzeh, was that you first Cake app? [23:18] ok, someone look at this and see if you see an internal gps on here. I cant tell,,, its a toughbook cf-18 and the gps is built in. I just installed ubuntu 8.1 and am lost...............http://paste.ubuntu.com/111471/ thanks [23:18] malibu: i know that, but i want to be able to login to an already logged in account with vino [23:18] I found it: popcon.ubuntu.com [23:18] My FSB is 800MHz, bothers me to install ubuntu? [23:18] MikyMouse: a clone of ebay, but dressed up in a different skin and spesificly for boats [23:18] RbK`: fsb doesn't matter [23:18] cyphase: Don't know then [23:19] malibu: thanks anyway [23:19] mikevankuik: you've read the man page for syslogd? there is a section on how to enable remote logging [23:19] RbK`, do you mean your processor speed? [23:19] MikyMouse: whats this img2html thing for anyway? what you hoping to achieve with it? (just curious, my mate wrote that script i gave you, he is just wondering what its being used for) [23:19] yoyit2: did you get an error message? [23:19] 3.60 Ghz arachnidz [23:19] Slart: yeah I'm getting there right now I think :D [23:19] Bizzeh, the learning curve in cake is tricky, but once you have done 1 or 2 apps, then you can just live without it [23:19] Slart: i got error saying failed to mount windows share why does it say windows [23:19] Running Ubuntu 8.10, uninstalled all my nvidia drivers because they weren't working, manually installed nvidia-glx-177 and restarted X server, but it still isn't using the nvidia driver, any help? [23:19] cakephp? [23:19] RbK`, your fine for ubuntu then, assuming you have a good amount of ram and harddrive space [23:19] Slart: I've forgotten to create a local*.* in the conf file ^_^ [23:19] yes [23:19] Bizzeh, I will tell you in a few hours when out the office and time to test it [23:20] woli: google ps1 and .bashrc [23:20] cline: "lshw" might be more helpfull [23:20] is there a way to find out the serial port /dev/? [23:20] MikyMouse: i generally dont like frameworks in any language really... they are too restrictive. i have my own frameworks for each language i work with... and when i need them to do new things, i update the framework :D [23:20] 1Gb Ram, and harddrive space 20Gb [23:20] mikevankuik: ah.. but you've done tha changes to the /etc/services file? so syslog listens on port 514? [23:20] i tried that one to, you want o see the resultsnfrom lshw? [23:20] Slart: btw u found a samba gui in add remove programs thats how i added the share [23:21] hello roomies.. well i am a Debian unstable user... guess my question won't be offtopic.... what is the main difference betwen Debian Unstable and Ubuntu... [23:21] yoyit2: ah, nice.. [23:21] cline: sure, put it on pastebin [23:21] Slart: but it doesnt work [23:21] Bizzeh, well cake comes with the sources, so ..you can always modify what you dont like [23:21] has anybody good experience with software raid [23:21] sh4d3sl4y3r_: ubuntu freezes versions and then releases a new version.. it doesn't just continue like debian does [23:21] Slart: i made a share to / thats filesystem how do i connect to it with my computer [23:21] Slart: no it was already set right :) (not commented) [23:21] MikyMouse: and like all set frameworks, its coded in some abstract way that makes it impossible for anyone who actually wants to mod it, to do so [23:22] yoyit2: the way I just wrote is one way.. it's by far the easiest one [23:22] Bizzeh, :) that is right [23:22] mikevankuik: oh.. ok [23:22] well, what if it comes to the packaging? both seem to have similar versions of packages.. [23:22] anyone know how to get the install process to automatically choose english at the beginning using the preseed file? [23:23] rgotten: i was using it for quite some time, whats the matter? [23:23] sh4d3sl4y3r_: both uses apt and deb-packages [23:23] arachnidz : not understand what I say CPU frequency scaling not supported [Ok] [23:23] how do I make devices like flash drives, auto mount when i plug them in [23:23] slart ok how do i find the ip address [23:23] RbK`: thats just a warning [23:23] RbK`: your bios may not support scaling as I said earlier [23:23] sh4d3sl4y3r_: afaik it's pretty much the same.. ie not that packages can be used on both systems.. but it works the same in debian as it does in ubuntu [23:23] (or it may not be enabled) [23:23] hey guys... I think I found a problem with my new kernel install... says my /boot is full... was wondering if it was safe to clear this out and if so what changes I might have to make concerning GRUB if any [23:23] yoyit2: at the command prompt type ifconfig [23:23] yoyit2: write ifconfig in a terminal [23:23] zleap: they should do that bydefault if you have ubuntu [23:24] Hi. Anyone experienced with tcpdump etc? I might have something rogue running on my computer. [23:24] gbear14275: use apt-get to remove some old kernels [23:24] Anyone know what urtica.linuxnews.pl is? Google has interesting results, and tcpdump tells me my laptop is making almost permenant requests to it. http://dpaste.com/114486/ [23:24] hi everyone [23:24] gbear14275: I suggest you remove old kernel packages from the package manager [23:24] http://www.mail-archive.com/savannah-hackers@gnu.org/msg04348.html [23:24] zleap: probably the filesystem is still marked mounted and thats why the automatic mount fails [23:24] steveire: nothing to do with ubuntu [23:24] gbear14275: or apt-get remove --purge to get rid of some config files too [23:24] thnks for the info [23:24] ok [23:24] I'm also making requests to mail.e-scribe.com [23:24] sh4d3sl4y3r_: you're welcome [23:24] ikonia: and how to enable [23:24] gbear14275: alot of that might be old kernels you might check to see if there are any ones in there you no longer boot with [23:24] RbK`: look in your bios [23:24] is there a way to keep my system at a certain kernel version without to need to upgrade each time ? [23:24] it worked before i moved my home directory on to a new partition and had to get help re-writing the fstab file thing to make it work [23:24] now it won't [23:24] Running Ubuntu 8.10, uninstalled all my nvidia drivers because they weren't working, manually installed nvidia-glx-177 and restarted X server, but it still isn't using the nvidia driver, any help? [23:25] RbK`: check your cpu/board support it [23:25] has anybody good experience with software raid [23:25] does 8.10 use hal, or auto fs or something else [23:25] I entered the bios but I know what to do [23:25] do i just type "kernel" into synatptic to find them? [23:25] zleap: hal and dbus [23:25] zleap: like you just unpluged it without using the green unplug device thing in windows or such [23:25] ok here is the lshw , anyone recognize an internal gps???? [23:25] rgotten: I've used software raid, yes.. it worked nicely [23:25] gbear14275: pretty much [23:25] rgotten: ie.. not fake raid.. but real software raid [23:25] vock: can you pastebin these things 1) lspci -v 2) /var/log/Xorg.0.log 3 /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/111473/ sorry, heres the lshw, [23:25] vock: when you manually installed the nvidia driver, did you install the kernel module that goes with it? and, did you modify the xorg.conf to use the nvidia driver? [23:25] ok [23:25] any way to find out what device my serial port is on? [23:25] i mount manually [23:26] so do it properly with mount and umount at the console [23:26] ikonia: a site to check cpu / board support it [23:26] cline: don't see anything that looks like a gps there [23:26] its just a pain hving to keep doing it manually [23:26] RbK`: the makers/manufactures site, or the manual that came with it [23:27] cline: can you pastebin the output of lspci and lsusb too? [23:27] so what r my options, just cant recognize the gps?? [23:27] yes [23:27] ikonia: and you have to watch it? [23:27] slart: i have it configure and try it for the past 6 month and it works well, but the last week sometimes it appears that one of the hard drive is gone, and then after rebuild array is back....hard dirve looks to be working well..other than testing hard drive, how can i be sure that this could not be a problem with software raid and nboit hardrive? [23:27] RbK`: no, just read the manual/docs to see a.) if it's supported b.) how to enable it [23:27] RbK`: not having cpu scaling enabled will not cause you any problems with linux [23:27] gzip: stdout: No space left on device [23:28] pike, Bizzeh: xorg.conf i used nvidia-xconfig, pastebin is here http://pastebin.com/m166933bc [23:28] cline: I don't see nothing, are you sure it has a gps device? [23:28] gbear14275: house keep, tidy up [23:28] slart it wont connect [23:28] E: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-7-generic: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1 [23:28] i sense issues :( [23:28] pike,bizzeh; used xorg.conf after a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [23:28] the device seems to be working fine [23:28] when i manually mount it at the console as root [23:29] Slart: I'm in the BIOS [23:29] rgotten: I would start looking for errors in syslog.. usually there will be an error when the drive falls out of the raid.. then you'd have to go from there.. depending on the error [23:29] ok heres those lspci and lsusb http://paste.ubuntu.com/111476/ [23:29] i tried under authorisations but got confused [23:29] yoyit2: can you access the share from the windows computer? [23:29] whats the command to open up a root file browser again? [23:29] BenSmith: ok.. haven't found anything that looks like what I described? [23:30] rocken rolla,, ita built in, work under xp tablet [23:30] gksudo? [23:30] gbear14275: gksudo nautilus.. be careful [23:30] slart i am relatively new to ubuntu...were should i look for the syslog [23:30] Slart: I found something called Drive Xpert Control [23:30] I will thank you slart [23:30] rgotten: it's a file in /var/log/ [23:30] the gps chipset was a sirf-star 3 , [23:30] rgotten: in that same folder you'll also find kern.log and various other log files.. perhaps even a log file for the raid [23:31] gbear14275: you're welcome [23:31] i use webmin to remotly conect to server and when i was able to stsart degraded, the 3rd hard dirve was completely disappear?$% [23:31] BenSmith: hmm.. might be it, I guess [23:32] Slart: Options are Auto, Enable, Disabled [23:32] rgotten: I would be surprised if it was the software raid app that failed.. but hey.. all apps have bugs, right? [23:32] slart is it safe to delete the initrd.img-2.6.27-7generic gzip archive if I have one with a -9 in the same folder? [23:32] BenSmith: hmm.. I don't think that's it.. anything else? [23:32] g'day all [23:32] gbear14275: depends if your still using the kernel that matches it [23:32] Slart: how do i make a new shared useing swat i cant figure it out [23:32] gbear14275: uninstall it using apt-get instead.. then you'll get dependencies and such right [23:32] gbear14275: why not uninstall the package it belongs to properly? [23:32] Hi all! Im new too Linux, and wondering if i could get some help with some sound driver installing issues i have been having? [23:33] yoyit2: I've never really used swat so I can't help you with that, sorry [23:33] Slart: ikonia mgolisch: I couldn't uninstall cause there wasn't enough room I think :-/ [23:33] hi [23:33] gbear14275: not ideal, but possible [23:33] sounds illogical [23:33] Slart: how did you do it then i need help [23:33] I want to upgrade a feisty server to hardy.. the upgrade to gutsy failed, following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades . After "While scanning your repository information no mirror entry for the upgrade was found.This can happen if you run a internal mirror or if the mirror information is out of date." it gave a lot of not founds and terminated [23:33] is there someone who could configure an irc server? [23:33] gbear14275: hmm.. very strange.. mind trying again and pastebinning the result? [23:33] Slart: SATA Configuration [23:34] BenSmith: sounds promising [23:34] sm: pastebin your sources.list file [23:34] pike_: did you get the pastebin link? [23:34] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/111478/ [23:34] Slart: Options are Disabled, Compatible, Enhanced [23:34] sm: have you done "sudo apt-get update" yet ? [23:34] cline: sorry.. don't see anything that screams GPS in those either [23:35] yes I did, and upgrade; (reported no upgrades except for two packages held back) [23:35] thanks though,, are there any programs that scan for gps? [23:35] BenSmith: you are sure there isn't an "advanced BIOS mode"? I remember one motherboard I had that hid almost all options until I pressed alt+f1 or something [23:35] Slart: how did you do it im stuck [23:35] sm: and what's the exact error [23:36] redvamp128, u there?

[23:37] Slart: I dont' think they hid it but I just can't remember. Just remind me what I'm trying to do [23:37] sm: thats worth a go once your fesity is up to date [23:38] rgotten: address people like this then they will respond to like the same then u will not miss a response [23:38] sm: someone else had a simlar problem ages ago, I'll log a bug for this process and make some updates to the doc [23:38] Kernel or other issues with the new kernel updates today? [23:38] rgotten: read faster [23:38] yoyit2: yes, I know.. but it's easier to do it with two windows computers to start with.. then try one windows computer and one linux computers .. when that works you try two linux computers [23:38] ikonia: thanks! [23:38] Running Ubuntu 8.10, uninstalled all my nvidia drivers because they weren't working, manually installed nvidia-glx-177 and restarted X server, but it still isn't using the nvidia driver, any help? Rebuilt my xorg.conf with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and then nvidia-xconfig, pastebin: http://pastebin.com/m166933bc === Thorgrim1 is now known as Thorgrim [23:39] BenSmith: you are trying to find a setting that tells the raid chip to either A), use the hard drives connected as a raid0, raid1, raid5 or whatever or B) treat them as separate drives or JBOD (just a bunch of disks) [23:39] can i have 2 clipboards? like ctrl c and ctrl f or something? [23:39] Slart: am back [23:39] d35i9n: not really [23:39] d35i9n: yes but if i am doing something else and come back to this page/screen it has already move up completely..there is no way to just look for answers to my request? [23:39] but my windows computer allready work because they have a windows network [23:39] anyone here have expirence getting sudo to work with ldap? [23:39] Slart: but my windows compter already work becasue they are on a windows network [23:39] seth: in what respect [23:39] d35i9n: you already have 3 [23:39] hey does anyone here like ubuntu more than Windows? [23:40] fogobogo: how? [23:40] kaj: bit off topic really [23:40] is there a way to make wget clobber existing files named the same file you're downloading? [23:40] kaj: this is support discussion only [23:40] kaj, I think a lot of us do, you should ask #ubuntu-offtopic though [23:40] Slart: and why would that make a defrence and you plz tell me how to add a share your way [23:40] d35i9n: google. x + clipboard [23:40] ya was hopin some one would give me the off topic server name >=D [23:40] Yes after- a SP3 BSOD --- don't get those with ubuntu [23:40] gbear142751: it seems apt is trying to do a lot of things.. [23:40] ikonia: I can authenticate using ldap, but when you go to use sudo I get "user is not in sudoers". so its trying to read the local sudoers instead of whats in ldap. Note this works on the Cent systems I have. [23:40] yoyit2: have you read the links ubottu sent you? [23:41] Slart: The drives are set up in Raid0 right now. Is that what you need [23:41] seth: ahhhh [23:41] kaj: /join #ubuntu-offtopic [23:41] BenSmith: nope.. we don't want to have them in raid0.. we want to use them as separate drives [23:41] isaak: yes I am here [23:41] thx sorry for the add lib [23:41] seth: there are a few ways to do this [23:41] Slart: yes, now its giving me a partial upgrade option when I try to install the upgrades for my machine [23:41] Slart: ya they make no sence [23:41] seth: you have to tell your machine to use ldap over files for groups, and create an admin group in ldap [23:42] hi all my nic stopped working on a fresh oem install, wtf? [23:42] Slart: So i need to set them up as a JBOD [23:42] did it twice now [23:42] where can i find a deb repo for ubuntu brezy as the default servers are coming back with '404 Not Found' [23:42] d35i9n: yes but if i am doing something else and come back to this page/screen it has already move up completely..there is no way to just look for answers to my request? [23:42] puredist: old-releases.ubuntu.com [23:42] don't think so [23:42] yoyit2: here's another link with a lot of info.. you will need to read about this stuff to be able to set this up.. I can't hold your hand through the whole thing http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ [23:42] BenSmith: yes [23:42] thanks ikonia [23:42] rgotten: /lastlog! [23:43] gbear142751: have you tried using the --force option? just to remove one of the older kernels? [23:43] fogobogo: /lastlog??? what doi you mean? [23:43] How do I close gnome and gdm so I can go out to console and install the nvidia drivers? when I use CTRL+ALT+F1 I get a popup on the right corner of gnome saying something about Power information [23:43] Slart: you sent me a 500 pg book [23:43] Slart: :( [23:43] yoyit2: hehe.. you don't have to read the whole thing [23:44] yoyit2: read the "general installation" part.. [23:44] methadone, once you're in ctl-alt-f1, run sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop, do your stuff, then sudo invoke-rc.d start to get the desktop back [23:44] slart: is this what you mean? http://paste.ubuntu.com/111482/ [23:45] nickrud, when I click ctrl+alt+f1 it won't go out to console like it usually does [23:45] methadone, sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start , that is [23:45] Hey I installed the program tasque and set it to start at boot. When its on it creates a tray icon but is there anyway I can set it to start minimized to the tray icon? [23:45] yoyit2: and once again.. I would recommend starting out with one windows computer and one linux computer... it will be easier to troubleshoot [23:45] methadone, try f2. I've had that happen also. [23:45] no go [23:46] ugh nm [23:46] brb [23:46] Slart: Works for me. Ill take a look! Thanks alot [23:46] gbear142751: try "sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic" [23:46] BenSmith: you found it? [23:46] ikonia: I just set the system to use ldap over files, and there is an admin group. id userid shows that I am part of the admin group [23:46] I am using pdigin for IRC, any other software that will let me track when i post a question on who answer me so i can reply and continue conversation? [23:47] !irc | rgotten [23:47] rgotten: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [23:47] seth: I suggest you log out and back in before testing to make sure your shell is "current" [23:47] ikinia: and no difference. what else can I check? [23:47] rgotten: xchat is popular.. nice gui and so on [23:47] Slart: not yet [23:47] seth: also try using a "new" user one that isn't in /etc/passwd to make it a clean test [23:47] Slart: 114mb? thats larger than my /boot directory [23:47] BenSmith: well.. I hope you find it [23:47] irssi+screen is the only way to IRC ;-) [23:48] gbear142751: that's probably why it complains.. [23:48] gbear142751: it removed it? [23:48] Slart: I think I found it. Reset Drives to Non-RAID [23:48] Slart: no... just wanted to confirm that I should really run this as it says 114mb will be removed if I continue [23:48] <_VIM_> gordonjcp: i agree :) [23:48] So ubuntu updates + cryptsetup = completely unusable system [23:48] BenSmith: ah.. that sounds good.. make sure you don't have anything on those drives you want to keep [23:49] BenSmith: backups backups backups [23:49] anyone know why killall wont touch a running perl script by name? [23:49] Slart: Yeah Is it going to trash both of those drives? [23:49] BenSmith: well.. I wouldn't say trash.. the drives will be ok.. but the information on them will be gone [23:50] Slart: Thanks, Ill start making Backup cds [23:50] I really have to go Thanks for you help [23:50] BenSmith: you're welcome.. hope it works out for you [23:50] When I use the "screen" command in terminal, it seems to disable scrolling. If I try to scroll up, it just scrolls through previously used commands. Is there another way to do this? [23:50] Slart: you know what this is too complicated im giveing up this will take days windows networking is so much easyer [23:50] Slart: I'm thinking I should just boot from disk, use gparted to grow my /boot then try this... thoughts? or you think i can resolve this without that (would prefer to as a gparted move will require probably at least 40 min). [23:50] Hi! I was wondering if someone experienced with linux could help me out with some issues i have installing Drivers and some video problems? Please PM me [23:50] !PM [23:50] hey, is there yet a 32bit desktop kernel with PAE enabled? [23:50] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [23:51] yoyit2: your computers, your time.. you make the call [23:51] gbear142751: didn't the uninstall work? [23:51] no [23:51] Hi, I've install ubuntu 8.10 64bits on a pc with 4GB ram, but I only get reconized 3.2GB.. bios can see all 4GB.. any ideas? [23:51] For some reason, CTRL-ALT-F7 is not getting me back into gnome (I'm running on vmware). What can I type in the command line to achieve the same thing? [23:51] Shock: I think the server kernels are the only ones with PAE enabled [23:51] Slart: ya thanks for the help i just dont want to do this all day Thanks Anyways [23:52] yoyit2: you're welcome [23:52] Slart: sorry, no it didn't I can pastebin the errors but its pretty much the same... well it seem [23:52] s [23:52] gbear142751: please do [23:52] Slart: figures... who the hell put all those dumbwits in the kernel team? [23:52] Slart: http://paste.ubuntu.com/111487/ [23:52] how do I change my default media player from Movie Player to VLC? [23:53] when I do /etc/init.d/gdm start, I get "Starting GNOME Display Manaer [fail] " [23:53] Ok, Im trying too get my soundcard too work. its a Creative Audigy SB card. So i think i have too install newest alsa drivers. I have saved the driver too desktop, think i have too get the file into src folder too unpack it with terminal. But im not allowed for some reason. [23:53] Shock: I've never even looked at the source code of the kernel.. so I can't really make a judgement on their lack of brains or such [23:53] Slart: just some background... I have my /boot on a seperate partition... only 75mb large I think, my /home and / are on different partitions too [23:53] anyone know why killall wont touch a running perl script by name? [23:53] ikonia: myself and my test user are both not in /etc/passwd. I tried to enable debug in ldap.conf but I get no extra information [23:54] is there another distro that has PAE in a 32bit desktop kernel? [23:54] perl scripts run in their own memory space [23:54] ubottu: my question was more related to a software that will make it easy to follow a conversation when question is posted and also track who answer my posted question? [23:54] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:54] Shock: is there a reason you want to use the 32bit vs the 64? [23:54] gbear142751: try adding a -f to that last command... "sudo apt-get remove --purge -f linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic" [23:54] gbear142751: yes\ [23:54] imaginativeone: do you mean change the deafult application for a file type? [23:54] Shock: care to share it? [23:55] gbear142751: flash, java [23:55] Shock: there is probably a good reason for them to not enable it.. there isn't some kind of explanation somewhere for it? [23:56] Shock: there is a beta flash package out for 64bit that works quite well (i do get errors but its only a grey flash window, all i have to do is refresh page to fix) and I believe java supports 64 bit as well [23:56] later guys, Slart, thanks for looking at that for me.. [23:56] Slart: not that i could find. it causes a panic on older CPUs and has a performance penalty [23:56] cline: you're welcome [23:56] Slart: bad news... same error :( [23:56] hi [23:56] hAHAHAHAAHAH [23:56] what if I just delete some of these pacakges by hand then try it? === donna is now known as Guest66455 [23:56] Slart: biut i don't suggest the PAE kernel to be the default, just to be available [23:56] error 25 boot? [23:57] wait what [23:57] stiopopopopo === maco_ is now known as maco [23:57] Shock: mm.. but then every kernel has to be tested and so on.. I guess they want to cut down on that [23:57] hi :) [23:58] what is happpend [23:58] gbear142751: well.. give it a try [23:58] gbear142751: given that i work at an online video company which coincidentally has a flash video player i kinda need a stable version of flash [23:58] where is the video config file for ubuntu ? [23:58] Slart: label it "experimental" "for the kamizaze" or whatever, just make it available [23:59] e-rod, /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:59] it can be in multiluliverse for all i care [23:59] the file is void [23:59] Shock: why not compile your own kernel? I've never done it myself but it can't be that bad [23:59] void? === jay is now known as Guest27857 [23:59] mmh... defaul [23:59] Shock: check this link out... might be worth trying... seems for the most part fairly stable, plus, you'll be ahead of the curve developing for 64bit flash ;) :http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ [23:59] not info into it [23:59] Slart: oh, i've done that for a while
