jordo2323Have there been any issues with recent updates and sound?00:28
gbear14275Slart: but I'll take better notes next time00:29
Slartgbear14275: apt-get is a bit too polite.. dpkg just doesn't take no for an answer.. dpkg -f is even nastier =)00:29
rdw200169fiber, for example, when you install firestarter, it puts a script in /etc/if-up.d/ that runs when an interface comes up; this is linux networking related, not networkmanager, though; this may make what you want to do more reliable00:29
fiberrdw200169: hrm... sounds promising! do you think that is called after dhcp though?00:29

crunchbangok im tryin to boot from an external harddrive and i created a partition gave it the boot flag and everything set up00:34
dou213thief`, another error: "mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist"00:34
crunchbangwont boot, but its not the first partition?00:34
dou213are u sure it is sdc?00:34
gbear14275Nubbie: I was lucky... my friend asked me if I could get his router to pick up spare wireless... I said sure!  (planning on ddwrt micro) went over there and they had a 3.1!  I said, "HERE, just take mine I'll get this old one off your hands"  Been happy ever since :)00:34
Nubbiecrunchbang: modify your bios settings to boot from USB00:34
fiberrdw200169: right, well i normally go with both... this way is best because i doubt the network manager wrote it's own i[fw]config programs, it's probably just a front end... i just want to be able to control some things once i get dhcp on several choice networks00:34
d0netsFNand it says connection refused, when i try to ssh localhost it says permissions 0777 for etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key are to open ubuntu00:34
thief`right.00:34
Slartgbear14275: can you pastebin the output of this command? "cat /etc/apt/source.list" ?00:34
Nubbiegbear14275: lol00:34
thief`wwhen you typed mkdir ... what exactly did you type?00:34
crunchbangNubbie:will boot from my flash drive not my external harddrive, realises its ther jus wont boot00:34
xim_is there a tool that will tell you what programs are using how much network bandwidth?00:34
rdw200169fiber, then ifup/ifdown are the way to go00:34
=== lance__ is now known as Guest69083
gbear14275Slart: no cause it says it doesn't exist, but I'll track down my sources list for you00:35
rdw200169fiber, ipconfig/ip are tools that do network initialization manually; i.e. 'ip addr add 192.168.0.1/24 dev eth0' is the manual addition of an IP, which doesn't use the if-up (etc...) scripts00:35
Slartgbear14275: ah.. typo.. my bad "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" I forgot the s00:35
dou213thief`, sudo mkdir /media/sdc1   >>> creates the folder sdc1 in /media... the sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/sdc100:36
rdw200169fiber, when you have stuff in /etc/network/interfaces though, ifup/ifdown are preferred00:36
thief`dou213, ok, now your looking good.00:36
jordo2323I recently updated my system and now my sound doesn't work. I have rebooted twice and still nothing. Anyone have any ideas?00:36
thief`type ls /media/sdc100:36
rdw200169fiber, it doesn't matter if it's set for static or dhcp (or something else for that matter); it's a very useful tool.  that, and you can easily accomplish what you want to do using that00:36
thief`and it'll list what is on your usbkey00:36
dou213thief`, empty00:37
Nubbiebah thanks anyways guys, night00:37
gbear14275Slart: http://paste.ubuntu.com/111502/  (yeah figured out it was a mistype when I went looking for it, figured it was a problem on my end)00:37
=== patrick is now known as Guest93019
rdw200169fiber, if what you want to do is simple, you can add pre-up commands to your /etc/network/interfaces directly, though;  i do this when i set up a bridge, for example; or bring up a virtualBox interface and add it to a bridge00:37
crunchbanganymore help, i cant boot from second partition of my external harddrive00:37
thief`dou213, that means your usb key has nothing on it.00:37
thief`does that make sense?00:37
dou213thief`, impossible00:38
dou213thief`, why the error when trying to mount?00:38
_patrickdTakeABow: You can use sudo <command> to do anything you can do as root in ubuntu as it doesn't really use the root account00:38
thief`what error do you see?00:38
Slartgbear14275: check this page https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA#Adding%20a%20PPA%20to%20your%20Ubuntu%20repositories00:38
dou213"mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist"00:38
thief`ooooh00:39
thief`ok. sorry00:39
thief`type sudo fdisk -l00:39
Slartgbear14275: there is a section about "Adding a PPAs keys to your system".. that's what you want to do00:39
thief`thta will list what is plugged in.00:39
fiberrdw200169: true, but it's probably cleaner to keep it modular and put the scripts in the /etc/network/if-up.d folder... i've faced hell after over-customizing scripts like that!00:39
thief`dont worry fdisk is not the same in linux as it is in windows.00:39
thief`it won't format your drive...00:39
gbear14275Slart: thanks! will do... btw thanks alot for the help and I don't mind pitching a few bucks to a donation spot of your choice if you have any favorite projects or anything... (offers on the table)00:40
dou213:) and now? it shows the partitions00:40
dou213oh it is sdb00:40
dou213not sdc1 :)00:40
thief`right.00:41
dou213found it00:41
thief`good job.00:41
Slartgbear14275: nah.. but do hang around in the channel and help others with problems.. that will make me sleep better at night00:41
=== lance__ is now known as Guest94675
gbear14275will do!00:41
thief`usually it is sdc1, but not always.00:41
thief`dou213, after that, google mount usb fstab   - there is good info in there, to edit the fstab and make life happier.00:41
thief`then you can mount waaay easier.00:41
demon012hey guys has anyone know of any good ultra long non netbook laptops that work well with ubuntu?00:41

dou213thief`, thx very much00:42
thief`no prob... but really, read that, and you won't have this prob next time..00:42
spawnslart hold on let me youtube that lol00:42
rdw200169vock, i looked at the pastebin you gave me; i see no reference in the Xorg.0.log of nvidia whatsoever; sometimes, it puts the most recent log in a different file, can you make sure that Xorg.0.log has the most recent timestamp (ls -l)?  sometimes, it will put the most recent in something like Xorg.9.log or something00:42

LouisWill setting the noatime option on a filesystem cause any problems on a raid0 array?00:44
ScottG489What does it mean when the volume buttons on the panel above my keyboard on my laptop are flashing? The mute and volume up buttons are flashing and the volume down is solid. This has happened before.00:44
crunchbangguys, for booting of an external hardrive thats split into two partitions does the first one have to be the boot00:44
crunchbang?00:44
ScottG489The buttons function properly00:44
vockrdw200169,  the newest log files are called xorg.failsafe.log, does that make sense?00:44
vockrdw200169, actually that's wrong, the one i posted is actually the newest by 2 hours on that one00:44
LouisI should rephrase my question... I've been told that setting the noatime flag can cause problems with certain apps on certain setups... what kinds of problems occur and on what kind of apps?00:45
rdw200169vock, failsafe is always vesa... that doesn't help... you want one of the Xorg.X.log ones00:45
rdw200169vock, b/c if there's a problem w/starting the Xserver, it automatically restarts and goes failsafe w/vesa00:45
vockrdw200169, the problem is that nvidia-settings says nvidia drivers aren't loaded, but i'm not sure how to make them load beyond the sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-17700:45
Louis!noatime00:45
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about noatime00:45
thinkgnu_ i installed ubuntu 8.10 , i got some updated package from someone who updated it's ubuntu 8.10 , now how can i use those updates in my computer?if i copy them too /var/cache/apt , should it works ?00:45
Nucklerhi00:46
TheEdge_!delete00:46
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about delete00:46

ubottuIn den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis.00:46
vockrdw200169, tried to redo the xorg.conf and got that one that was posted, and i really don't know what else to do to make it load, and not entirely sure why there is no reference to nvidia in the log file00:46
rdw200169vock, well, we gotta see the logfile that actually mentions the nvidia video driver; it loads the nvidia glx driver but doesn't mention the video driver; that's strange; it should say something about it, with an (EE) line00:46
ubuntumisticis there a way to setup your encrypted ubuntu box so that when you enter the wrong password on the screensaver it either encrypts the hard drive some how or hibernates or shuts down?00:46
Louisthinkgnu_:  i may not be getting your question, but usually ou just have to run the update manager ot get updates.  Or type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade in the terminal00:46
vockrdw200169, do a complete reboot instead of just the xserver and i can post the log file i get when it says i need to boot into low- graphics mode?00:46
thief`crunchbang, the bootloader is at the begining of the drive, not on either partition.00:47
Louisthinkgnu_ :  unless you're talking about something completely different, in which case, excuse my n00bishness =)00:47
crunchbangthief:its a live persistant install?00:47
lakotajamesI am trying to get my joypad to work.  it doesn't show up in /dev/input/. help?00:47
rdw200169vock, don't let it boot into low-graphics; when the Xserver crashes, go back to the terminal, and see which one is newest, and copy it somewhere, then let it go failsafe; then post it00:47
thinkgnu_Louis: think if i don't have any internet connection :p , i just want to use somone else updated packages00:47
vockrdw200169, okay, brb00:48
Louisthinkgnu_:  oh.  That's going to be a royal pain in the butt =/00:48
rdw200169vock, the easiest way to restart the x server is going to a tty (Ctrl + Alt + F1), and running00:48
rdw200169vock /etc/init.d/gdm restart00:48
thief`crunchbang, the bootsector would be at the beginning of the drive itself.00:48
vockrdw200169, okay, brb00:48
LouisI've been told that setting the noatime flag can cause problems with certain apps on certain setups... what kinds of problems occur and on what kind of apps?00:48

lakotajamesbazhang: I don't think it is detected as a mouse.  How would I be able to tell?  none of the buttons do anything.  And the sticks don't do anything either.  I haven't crashed, but I haven't had it plugged in that long, either.01:54

nathanhelpBlueEagle: expand : 7. to express something more fully or in greater detail02:31
nathanhelp:P02:31
BlueEaglenathanhelp: Well, if I understood your question correctly you want to have access to the same piece(s) of data from three different scenarios. What you want to do is to store this data in one place as to more easily keep it synchronised. To do that you would most likely want to share the storage on which this data is keept.02:31
WebcamWonderjoaboaconstrctr: With nautilus right click on the folder and change the permission. However, changing permission is not something we recommend02:31
nathanhelpBlueEagle: Thats correct.02:31
WebcamWondernathanhelp: And that is why I said, Dropbox, or rsync :)02:32
thief`bazhang,  so really though? from what you said, it sounds great. the ose ver. will work ok for this eee with array kernel?02:32
joaboaconstrctr<WebcamWonder:  I need to create a directory on an external drive, already formatted to back up02:32
BlueEaglenathanhelp: To accomplish this you would like to export a share from the machine that is only using one operating system. The reason for choosing this to export from is because it will always have access to the data and would always be able to read the partition information.02:32
nathanhelpBlueEagle: How would i go about doing so, and what is a safe way of doing so? Would Ubuntu accessing NTFS Directory cause a problem?02:32
nathanhelp!dropbox02:32
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about dropbox02:32
bazhangthief`, well I did qualify it with 'should do', though if it does not the other certainly will02:32
BlueEaglenathanhelp: However the limitation you incur with such a setup is that the machine exporting the shared data need to be turned off and have a working network connection for this to work.02:32
BlueEagle!ntfs | nathanhelp02:33
ubottunathanhelp: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE02:33

=== clahey is now known as cl_away
WebcamWonderjoaboaconstrctr: mkdir /path/to/folder, for creating directories, and chmod for changing permissions02:33
BlueEaglenathanhelp: What you DO want to do is to have the one machine running only Ubuntu define a shared network resource (this might be SMB or LDAP depending on your personal taste) and have the machine using both Ubuntu and Windows mount that shared resource and read the data from it.02:34
thief`bazhang,  oh, sorry, ok, thank you. as before i was  reading it didn't work, but maybe intrepid fixed those probs i read as you mentioned. thank you.02:34
BlueEaglenathanhelp: An alternative implimentation that would achieve the same goal (read mail from everywhere) would be to use IMAP instead of POP to read your mail.02:34
nathanhelpBlueEagle:  I already have got it set up. however im concerned that it is corrupting my WinXp drive. Would it be a good idea to have the profile on a Fat32 partition? And can both WinXP and Ubuntu write to those?02:35

nathanhelpdoing so now. I have a slow computer :)02:35

joaboaconstrctr<WebcamWonder:  my problem is that I don't know the syntax for the path>> /media/74.5 GB_BACKUPS02:36
BlueEaglenathanhelp: ie. you want to use ntfs-3g drivers if you want to write to ntfs. What you could do is to make a fat-partition just to keep the shared data as writing to fat is more tried and tested.02:36
WebcamWonderjoaboaconstrctr: sudo chmod <your permissions here> /media/74.5\ GB_BACKUPS02:36
BlueEaglenathanhelp: Still, accessing the same data on several computers requires that that data be shared over the network in any case.02:36
joaboaconstrctrthanks02:37

phpstar#wiul02:39
BlueEaglenathanhelp: Well, when you mount the ntfs-partition you want to specify that it is -t ntfs-3g and not -t ntfs (the latter only provides read access by default and the write access is broken)02:40
kaoHello, Does anyone have any idea why Firefox crashes every time I view a webpage that has Flash content imbedded within?02:40
nathanhelpBlueEagle: Ok. I'm sorry about my missing comma. The things i've read say that Ubuntu is unable to write to NTFS without some help/tweaking/correct tools. But... Me in my naivety (SP) has done so already and it is working. But..now my WinXP is having some weird behaviour. Could I have damaged the WinXP by allowing the ubuntu to write to the Thunderprofile?02:40
BlueEaglenathanhelp: That depends on the nature of said "weird behaviour".02:41
Out_Coldkao, get flashblock from the repos.. that solved my problem02:41
BlueEaglenathanhelp: What you may see is windows scanning the drive when you boot. But other than that the drivers should not affect the data on the drive.02:41

mrpinkylaughyn1nj4, i added one line at the end, then removed the same line so it should be un-toyed. however i removed the line using nano not visudo.. should that affect it?03:04
WebcamWonderBarridus: Your current kernel is untouched (for the most part). You can actually choose to go back to a previous kernel from grub. But I would advice to do some reading on kernel modules, and upgrade before doing so03:04
Gun_Smokemrpinky, man sudoers03:05
qtwrecan anyone think of why my filesystem is suddenly read-only, causing ubuntu to fail to boot?03:05
Steven_Mhi all03:05
webterrorno~ i don't like install from ubuntu install CD03:05
laughyn1nj4hmm .. not sure if su or sudo had a daemon or not ... if so restarting may help03:05
enao1290is there a command similar to ls -l that lists file sizes?03:05
laughyn1nj4ls -h03:05
WebcamWonderenao1290: ls -s :)03:05
nathanhelpWhat about ubuntu writing to Fat32? is that stable as well?03:05
mrpinkyGun_Smoke, okay :)03:05
BarridusWebcamWonder, solid advice.  i have no idea where to start.  this is my first (potential) kernel update since i installed and caught up to the updates03:06
laughyn1nj4any thoughts our there on partitioning for dual boot?03:06
_2laughyn1nj4 ah, fairly new to linux are you?   anyway to answer your origenal question.   i would suggest giving M$ the first primary partition, and size adaquite space for the os and any needed data ntfs. then give linux the next, whether primary or extended doesn't matter, with enough space for the system and a little slack (7g maybe) ext3, then the next partition for your user data and configs (mountpoint = /home) ext3, and maybe03:06
WebcamWonderBarridus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel03:06
WebcamWonderBarridus: To be fair, I have to recompile my nVidia drivers on every kernel upgrade. And during the recompiling process, my X (gui) cannot start because the kernel modules are built against an old one :)03:08
Steven_Meverytime I try to apt-get update I get this result. http://pastebin.com/d148bd85303:08
laughyn1nj4yea the whole mounting of partitions thing is a bit mysterious for me.  why would one mmount an entire partition to the /home dir anyway?03:08
nathanhelp>.< why does moving to Ubuntu require me to become a programmer? i dont understand half the things I read.03:08
LeeM1it's fun learning :D this is my 3rd hour on ubuntu lol03:09
Out_Coldif i am required to add a <output file> to a command, how do i make it just apear as STDOUT?03:09
laughyn1nj4natanhelp: i'm a programmer and i'm getting somewhere with linux...but not very fast.  :-D03:09
_2nathanhelp why does installing M$ windows require you to accept the EULA you don't understand those things either03:09
LeeM1still kinda ticked that my downloads are so slow in syntapic tho03:09
milos_nathanhelp, for example03:09
nathanhelplaughyn1nj4: I'm not a programmer and I am getting a headache. _2 Who reads teh EULA?03:09
rodolfohey! does anybodu here uses avant-windw-navigator?03:09
thief`laughyn1nj4, it is a good idea to mount /home to a diff partition - though yo udont have to.03:09
milos_nathanhelp, i'm programer :)03:09
bruwstoutnathanhelp and laughynj4:  It will grow on you03:09
therootesthello. Can someone help me install the compiz cube in kubuntu 8.0.4?03:10
nathanhelpI hope so.03:10
bruwstoutand allow you to be more in tune with the OS03:10
thief`nathanhelp, i know what you mean, but it's a learning process... keep at it.03:10
laughyn1nj4bruwstout ... it's growing !03:10
rodolfoi can't kill the gnome-panel is there any option in AWN that does the job?03:10
_2nathanhelp if you don't then you are a liar  because clicking the "i accept" button says you did read and understand and accept it.03:10
laughyn1nj4why is mounting a seprate partition to /home such a great idea?03:10
LeeM1i work for a small it company.. learning some linux for my role.. that and my xp crapped out and I didn't want to deal with it any more03:10
thief`i've spent three hours now trying to install vmware... - my kernel is a bitch.03:10
WebcamWonderlaughyn1nj4: Keeps your data safe/intact over OS re-installs03:10
orbstrahey can ubuntu mount osx formated partitions03:10
laughyn1nj4it's the WHY i'm after, i've heard enough of the WHAT03:10
bruwstoutI'm in the same boat ... almost need my engineering background to keep up03:10

nathanhelp_2 yup. I'm a lier. Actually I'm not. I read that im not allowed to revers engineer it then my eyes glazed over.03:10
_2laughyn1nj4 because you can reinstall without loosing data03:10
thief`rodolfo, there is a cmd to kill the gnome panels03:10
On0bi_does ubuntu work on laptops?03:11
WebcamWonderOn0bi_: Yes03:11
thief`laughyn1nj4, it's mainly to keep it apart, it's from the old days really... it's not need if yo have a huge HD03:11
laughyn1nj4this assumes that all data is under /home.03:11
hoboQuick question: Has anyone tried or knows how to get emerald working a virtual machine?03:11
rodolfoand what is this command?03:11
bruwstoutubuntu works great on laptops03:11
On0bi_WebcamWonder: well? or is it unstable?03:11
thief`laughyn1nj4, it's from when you might have had home on one hd and the other sys files on a diff hd.03:11
_2laughyn1nj4 most of it will be03:11
laughyn1nj4some of my data (multimedia actually) is in my samba shares which are not under home03:11
nathanhelp_2 I would say that 99% of MS users are liars according to your statement :D03:11
laughyn1nj4actuall MOST of the data is in the samba shares03:11
thief`orbstra, yes, it can read osx.03:12
_2nathanhelp i agree03:12
RedSoxis there anybody here who can give some step-by-step tips to install compiz cube?03:12
BarridusWebcamWonder, i have an intel graphics board.  and to be honest, i have no idea how the drivers work.  they just did on install.  nothing is listed in "hardware drivers", but opengl works03:12
WebcamWonderOn0bi_: Working well for many many people. Although there are specific models where hibernate and all power features don't work, so you should google your model number to see how much it is supported03:12
_2nathanhelp i was an M$ user until i actually read an EULA03:12
laughyn1nj4so perhaps my samba shares should be on a separate partition.  NOW i get it ! ;-)03:12
mrpinkyhey, i executed "usermod -G admin nbingham" to add myself to the "admin" group, but 1) it seems to have removed all my other groups, and 2) after i reboot it reverted my membership to what it was before i executed the command :( any tips?03:12
RedSoxis there anybody here who can give some step-by-step tips to install compiz cube?03:12
thief`laughyn1nj4, all your 'my docs' is under /home03:12
bruwstoutinstall compizconfig-setting-manager03:12
bruwstoutthen open and go into options03:12
RedSoxbruwstout was that for me?03:12
_2laughyn1nj4 so you asked for suggestions, i gave you one.03:12
thief`and if in nautilus, you hit ctrl-h you'll see hidden files. it's rally just like yer my docs in winders03:12
orbstraso if I connect my osx formated external HD to my ubuntu server... can I access it with the regular mount command?? I am connecting to my server wtih CLI through ssh03:13
rodolfothief` and what is this command?03:13
BarridusWebcamWonder, i did work with a nvidia board previously, and my experiences then matched yours03:13
WebcamWonderBarridus: Intel drivers are nice, they work. They aren't a proprietary blob like nVidia. You won't loose them over kernel upgrades :)03:13
redvamp128RedSox:  try this site Forlong's Blog - I'm trying to comprehend the things I write <http://forlong.blogage.de/en>03:13

LeeM1i've beel looking.. can you turn on and off showing when people log in and out?03:13
laughyn1nj4_2 .. much appreciated.!03:13
redvamp128RedSox:  That site at the bottom has a link to a guide on how to configure the cube and how to work compiz03:13
nathanhelpredvamp128, BlueEagle, Whats the difference between Using Samba, and ntfs-3g? Can I not just use Samba to access the shared folders on Windows? or am I mis-connecting things?03:13
lstarnesLeeM1: some clients can do that03:13
thief`orbstra, taht i don't know. but i know it can read osx format. or you can  get a fs that can easily.03:13
RedSoxredvamp128 thnx a lot brother03:13
LeeM1im using pidgin03:13
lstarnesLeeM1: as far as I know, pidgin can't03:14
Giraffehey, i'm trying to get wireless working on a laptop with an ar242x atheros chipset...networkmanager doesn't let me connect (the connect button is greyed out) and wicd just won't connect.  what gives?03:14
LeeM1rawr :(03:14
orbstrathief` : fs?03:14
thief`filesystem03:14
WebcamWonderLeeM1: I think there was a plugin to do that, but I don't remember. #pidgin would be a better source03:14
nathanhelpLeeM1: You can in WinXP pidgin. but im not sure where in Ubuntu03:14
thief`like one called ntfs-g that reads windows.03:14
thief`there'd be one for mac - if it's needed.03:14
orbstraoh i got ya thief`03:14
orbstrathnx bud03:14
redvamp128RedSox:  It is almost at the middle of the page about configure compiz-- but a good guide as well as some good links --03:14
thief`i've been using linux since november - and look at what i know now?03:15
RedSoxok redvamp128 tysm03:15
thief`haha03:15
thief`see, you can learn.03:15
thief`a lot of reading - that's what's needed.03:15
Gustavo_G_I need to install the lzo2 development library. Any suggestions?03:15
thief`and time.03:15
laughyn1nj4so if i want to backup an entire partition (using tar) and it's mounted at /samba, do i just backup the /samba or is there a better way to do it?03:15
nathanhelpthief`: Thats my problem. I have 3 kids, a preggy wife, and a two storey house to look after. I dont have a lot of time :D03:15
redvamp128nathanhelp:  I am not sure if samba will default let you write to ntfs-- but does not hurt to have both installed03:15
_2so does anyone know why ssh would check permission of $HOME before deciding whether or not to use public keys form $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys  ?03:15
MethinX what i need to do is replace a windows domain controller with a ubuntu comp, will samba have this ability?03:16
thief`nathanhelp, i found, if i just ran progs like firefox and open office... and didn't really do much, i had  NO probs, but when you try to do things - like change thins, that's wherr eyou gottaa learn how.03:16
jrib_2: don't you think that makes sense?03:16
tomodachiMethinX: what kind of window domain controller?03:16
Steven_Meverytime I try to apt-get update I get this result. http://pastebin.com/d148bd85303:16
tomodachint, 2k ,r 2k303:16
_2jrib no not at all03:16
MethinXwindows server 200303:16
_2why should it /03:16
_2?03:16
thief`MethinX, huge corps. use linux for that. so yes. but i don't know how.03:17
tomodachiMethinX: i think i depends on what features you use in your win2k3 domain controller03:17
tomodachiim not really skilled in the subject03:17
tomodachibut last time i checked samba server could replace a nt4 domain controller03:17
tomodachibut that was some time ago03:17
nomasteryodatomodachi, that is true03:17
BigDaddy-LAHilBilly03:17
_2jrib if the user owns the ~/.ssh  and it's accessable only by the user than what does the permission on ~ have to do with anything ?03:17
nomasteryodajsut not the active directory server03:17
thief`Steven_M, your keys are bad.03:18
thief`del them.03:18
MethinXok thanks03:18
laughyn1nj4ahem rm them03:18
thief`or use synaptic, there is options in there to screw with the keys.03:18
thief`type sudo synaptic03:18
bruwstoutwouldnt it be rm -rf03:18
WebcamWonderthief`: gksu for graphical please :)03:18
kindofabuzzhow do i make a sym link to folders in a folder but not the main folder?03:18
thief`what really does that do? i've done both...03:19
thief`heh03:19
_2jrib or said another way, it makes about as much sense to me as it checking the perms on  / would.03:19
WebcamWonder!gksu | thief`03:19
ubottuthief`: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)03:19
BrohanaHow would I disable having to have permission to write a file?03:19

thief`777 is full control.03:20

Gustavo_G_I am trying to install the lzo2 development library but am not sure how to proceed. Any suggestions?03:21
Steven_Mthief`: yes it is03:21

Out_Coldthief`, read up about on permission numbers... keep yourself as a 6 or 7 and change the rest to 5,6 or 703:21
Taladanhey, looking for suggestions for FOSS web-based business managment software...something that can do Point of Sale, work orders, accounts receivable/payable, general ledger, etc.03:21
rodolfothief` could you tell me what command makes gnome-panel disappear please?03:21
thief`yeah, i know what ya mean Out_Cold03:21
tomodachihmm Taladan maybe salesforce.com is something?03:21
WebcamWonderthief`: That is just a theme icon mismatch. It is fine03:21
mrpinkyTaladan, webERP (small and nice) or Compiere (bloated)03:21
thief`i don't really screw with perms. just for me  trusty pr0n dir.03:21
thief`haha03:21

laughyn1nj4that's one dir i keep private 700, thief03:22
thief`hahah03:22
thief`yep.03:22
Out_Coldthief`, i have had servers and ssh boxes that i've needed to change several permissions.. it's really a good thing to learn if anyone other than yourself has access to your comp03:22
mrpinkycmon i don't want to reinstall ubuntu just because i can't get my admin membership back :( please help me :)03:22
bruwstoutthat is the folder i encrypt03:22
thief`Out_Cold, thing with me (for now at least) is - i'm theonly one even close to my pruter that has  a clue about linux.03:23
WebcamWonderTrueCrypt with triple cascading cipher FTW!03:23
thief`Out_Cold,  my /pr0n is hidden as well. just in case lil nephew comes along and finds nautilus... hahah03:23
therootestI have installed the compiz but the cube wont work. Can someone please help me?03:23
Taladanmrpinky: you deleted admin group?03:23
Natalihi03:24
tomodachitherootest: how does it not work?03:24
Taladanour just removed user from membership?03:24
TheFunkbombWhere are the default GDMs (log in screens) stored?03:24
thief`mrpinky, why do you think you lost admin?03:24
Out_Coldyea like i said, one user, who cares..03:24
zumzmrpinky: live cd and edit it?03:24
nathanhelpok Basic question. Lets say (for real example that i can learn off) I dont have ntfs-3g in my synaptic list. I have the website however and I want to install the ntfs-3g drivers. Whats the difference between Source and Binary? (both sound the same to me).03:24
tomodachitherootest: have you installed compizconfig settings manager?03:24
tomodachitherootest:  your need to enable the cube there03:24
thief`i'd think losing root would be hard to do.03:24
therootesttomodachi: i have everything installed from adept. Then i open CCSM and choose the cube and the rotating cube effects.03:24
=== Munchkinguy_ is now known as Munchkinguy
ghostdog21hi@all03:24

mrpinkythief` because when i do "id" it doesn't include admin :(03:25
therootesttomodachi: and then it just doesnt do anything!03:25
macman.. guys i tried to do a md5sum on a iso and it said : No such file or directory .. any ideas ?03:25
Spreadsheetghostdog21: this is one of the most active channels in all of irc03:25
tomodachithere are several cube plugins maybe youre using the wrong one? or you dont have any keys assigned to the action03:25
ghostdog21sorry, but i've a problem anyone time 4 helping me?!03:25
mrpinkyzumz, but edit what...? i checked my /etc/group and "admin:x:115:nbingham" is in there :( it just doesn't appear when i "id" myself :(03:25
Taladanmrpinky: go into recovery and edit /etc/group03:25
Spreadsheetmacman: maybe put the right path to the file? ;)03:25
nathanhelpWebcamWonder: What does that mean? what is compiling? Please explain as clearly as you can, I'm trying to learn but theres a lot to take in.03:25

macmanlaughyn1nj4 its version 303:26
draeday_hey everytime i'm playing music with listen it freezes and i dont know y03:26
WebcamWondernathanhelp: Sure. The source, is the source code itself (what developers write). It is then compiled (machine code - something computers can read/understand) into a binary03:26
TheEdge_i am using Mplayer  put when ever i play a dvd i can't use ctrl+m  nothing happens.. also when I click a menu button in the picture nothing happens03:26
TheFunkbombWhere are the default GDMs stored?03:27
WebcamWondernathanhelp: Binaries are highly platform dependent (so, a binary for a 32bit OS will mostof the time not work with 64 bit OS)03:27
tomodachiTheEdge_: what is ctrl m supposed to do?03:27
nathanhelpWebcamWonder:  so a binary file are the ones i want to download?03:27
orbstrahey how do I unmount the USB drive i just mounted in ubuntu linux thruogh CLI03:27
macmanno good03:27
mrpinkyTaladan, my username is already there "admin:x:115:nbingham" :( but after i tried to add myself to a group with usermod, "id" no longer shows membership to any groups except the one i tried to add, i lost "admin" group as far as "id" is concerned :( but still have it as far as "/etc/group" is concerned03:27

nathanhelpbinary for the Ubuntu x86 platform?03:27
Spreadsheetmacman: $ ls03:27
_2TheFunkbomb /etc/gdm/03:27

mrpinkythief`, "id" says uid=100003:27
TheFunkbomb_2, that makes sense03:28
TheEdge_tomodachi: it should send you to the DVD menu03:28
supernoobthe other day a friend put some  music on my MP3 player, but he put it in random folders accidentally. How can I compare the difference in folders on my mp3 player with my main laptop music folder?03:28
thief`mrpinky,  i'm no expert but i believe 1000 is root03:28
tomodachiTheEdge_: open it in terminal03:28
therootesttomodachi: i have the plugins thing installed from the adept manager. It cant be the wrong cube. And the hotkeys are OK. I think the problem is that compiz is not my default windows manager and i dont know how to make it default.03:28
thief`my uid is 100003:28
TheFunkbombawesome name by the way.  It's really you03:28
tomodachiand see what the std out logging says03:28
thief`mrpinky, i believe 1000 is the first user created at install.03:28
WebcamWondernathanhelp: Yes, but it is much more preffered that you get the packages from Ubuntu repositories since they have been tested by many many peopl03:28
lstarnesthief`: root is either 003:28
_2thief` uid = 0  is superuser03:28
lstarneser, without the either03:28
mrpinkythief`, that would make sense, i only have one account, which i created at install.03:28
TheEdge_tomodachi: Mplayer ??03:28
tomodachiTheEdge_: yes03:29
thief`mrpinky, ok, then type sudo id03:29
tomodachiopen a terminal03:29
nathanhelpWebcamWonder: Ok. I have no ntfs-3g in my accessible list. Restricted is enabled. what else can i do to access them?03:29
Taladanmrpinky: I'm not sure then dude...afaik that's the file that determines group membership03:29
tomodachithen open gmplayer from there03:29

TheEdge_tomodachi: who do i do that.. only been using Linux/ubuntu for 2 days now03:29
nathanhelpWebcamWonder: 8.1003:29
_2thief` uid = 1000 ~ ?   is the normal user range, as specified in some config in /etc03:29
mrpinkythief`, "sudo id" tells me "nbingham is not in the sudoers file", which also makes sense, because i don't seem to have "admin" group membership03:29

nathanhelpWebcamWonder: Gnome.03:30

nathanhelpWebcamWonder: I'm going to try closing my synaptic and trying some install from terminal in case they are IN the repo, but not on my list for some reason.03:31

thief`tomodachi, i play a lot of xvid / divx and they work great...03:36
_2tomodachi did you clean install or upgrade ?03:36
n2diyh4x0r: I forgot about Windows 7 years ago, this is for my buddy, and the question was, how to do a bare metal install?03:36
tomodachijrib: yes it is03:36
thief`tomodachi, do you mean screwy ones like mkv and ogg and crap?03:36
mrpinkyhow do i find out what my ubuntu version is? the about box doesn't appear to have it :(03:37
jribtomodachi: read your /etc/sudoers03:37
tomodachijrib: the adm group is in the sudoers file03:37

ubottuTo find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> »03:37
InevGlitchQuick question:, In general, can I expect more hardware to work better with 8.04 than with 8.10 ?03:37
nickrudtomodachi, you shouldn't argue with jrib, he actually does development in ubuntu03:37
_2tomodachi but did you clean install or upgrade ?03:37
h4x0rgoogle it! you will find a nice tutorial03:37
tomodachijrib: its called %admin in the sudoers file, i guess thats a variable or something not the exact name03:37

thief`n2diy, there are tons of guides on dual boot.   http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=dual+boot+ubuntu+windows03:38
nickrudtomodachi, ok, you can do a test for yourself. Create two users, add one to the adm group the other to the admin. See which can sudo03:38

Ahadielthief`, Well yeah... but what exactly do I put in it?03:40
n2diythief`: Sorta, start with an infected Win box, wipe the drive, MBR, etc..., and reinstall Win then Ubuntu.03:40
Out_Coldyea... i waste more time just chatting in here than i do figuring out my system03:40
thief`n2diy, that's what i thought. it's easy (BUT do windows install first) a MUST. (for easiness.)03:40
h4x0rknowledge is to share, not to keep it, third rule in the black book03:40
_2tomodachi to explain a little more clearly,  if not specified earlier in /etc/sudoers as a "symbol"  then anything appearing as  %blah is a dirrect referance to the group by said name "blah" in my example.03:40
therootesti managed to install the compiz fusion cube BUT there are only 2 sides on the cube. How can i make it 4 sided?03:40

WIGGMPkspill: virtual machine.. put the content filter or entire proxy on a seperate box05:39
WIGGMPk_2: thank you for the explanation as well.. I really appreciate it05:39
spillWIGGMPk: well, this is my laptop?05:39
_2WIGGMPk you should probably run   sudo apt-get install -f  # just to make sure the package database is sain.05:39

bullgard4[GNOME] System > Administration > System Monitor > View > differentiates 'All Processes' and 'My Processes'. What is the difference?05:40
WIGGMPkspill: im confused.. you run a content filter on your laptop?05:40
ryanpriorspill: If you give somebody admin access to the laptop, of course they can disable dansguardian. Why would you let somebody administer the computer who can't be trusted with the web?05:40
foxwoodshellhound_: when you boot, edit the boot command line and get rid of quiet splash on the second and fourth line05:41
WIGGMPk_2: quick question while we are talking kernel's.. whats the best way to remove kernel images from /boot? will StartUP Manager do this by selecting "limit kernels"?05:41
_2foxwoods ffr   it's only a work-around, but moving the "update-grub" script out of the path will solve that error.   if they ever need it it's still where they put it.05:41
Flannel_2: why would you remove update-grub?05:42
foxwoods_2: that was a nice fix05:42
foxwoodsFlannel: because WIGGMPk is using fgxboot05:42
foxwoodsgfxboot*05:42
_2WIGGMPk best way "imo" is to use the package manager.  apt-get remove linux-image-$VERSION_HERE05:43
werswhat are the advantages of networkmanager over wicd? i just installed wicd and I like the interface better05:43
ryanpriorspill: If for some reason you really do need to work out this improbable setup, you probably don't want to give the user sudo -- instead, create a daemon that handles the needed administration tasks, and give them access to that.05:43
Flannelfoxwoods: And he wants to not boot to a newer kernel? or what?05:43
hellhound_foxwoods: ok after restarting again I get the command prompt in normal mode chosen from grub.  The error I see is "kinit: trying to resume from /dev/disk/by-uuid/2a587f53-b29d-416b-8718-c4c2902134e7"      "kinit no resume image, doing normal boot..."05:44

_2Finnish the download is to /var/cache/apt/archives/  the installation can be traced via this command:  dpkg -L $packagename05:46
foxwoodsFlannel: given that grub isn't truly there, it's not surprising update-grub fails05:47
genii_2: Yes, this is true. And what about the LILO people etc? It should give an option of whether to update a bootloader it sees or knows about but otherwise not do anything auto05:47

FlannelWIGGMPk: What are you trying to accomplish?05:50
_2JesperHansen not unless the ubuntu packagers/developers changed it.   grub2 uses /boot/grub/grub.cfg05:50
WIGGMPkits complicated, can I take this to a private chat?05:50

KujiUnOkay. Thank you very much.06:46
hawodimindrape: one is on port 80 while the other is on port 8080.06:47
mindrapehawodi: well maybe you just run apache w xampp and use VirtualHosts to split up traffic?06:47
foxwoodshellhound_: That's probably your problem.....seems that your NVIDIA install got botched, as I said before, remove all you can with sudo apt-get remove nvidia (AUTO-COMPLETE), then get 180.22 for linux from NVIDIA.com and run the file06:47

mindrapeDamienCassou - it could also be that you are trying to use too high a resolution on a graphics card that cant handle it.07:06

mindrapeDamienCassou: it may make sense to edit your xorg.conf and bump down the default res to like 1024x768 til you get it working07:06
DamienCassoumindrape: I don't think so because it worked on hardy07:06

ari_stressguys, how to defragment in ubuntu?07:12
mindrape!defrag07:12
ubottuThe default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this.07:12
_2ari_stress why  ?07:12
ari_stress_2: i just deleted many files, i thought i need to defrag, right? also i do lots of torrents07:13
_2ari_stress i doubt you need too.07:13
=== Daisuke-Ido is now known as Daisuke_Ido
_2ari_stress i deleted the files from an entire installation and installed a different distro without formating the fs while retaining all my data 50g on an 80g drive in a lappy.   no problems there.07:15
ari_stressmindrape: i read the page. seems make sense. but with torrents, it has got to be fragmented somehow, right?07:15
bullgard4Why is the process kondemand/0 running every few seconds on one Ubuntu 8.04.2 laptop but not on another ? It seems to be unrelated to the CPU frequency change rhythm indicated by the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor applet.07:15
* JesperHansen sees how ubuntu has gotten worse and worse for each release 07:15
ari_stress_2: can we measure the performance of our filesystem? to know whether the fragmentation level is still ok07:16
_2ari_stress yes indeed   fsck -f the thing07:16
JesperHansenext4 is only available on alternative cd atm. for 9.04, right?07:17
_2ari_stress the highest i have ever seen yet is .5% non-contiguous07:17

Searched around a lot, started threads in forums, reported bugs, but nothing. Got help here a week or so ago aswell, but couldn't figure it out. Has anyone else here heard of 8.10 having problems connecting to the internet via LAN/ADSL modem? The network card and modem works fine with Windows. I even tried the live CD10:09

lesshasteJack_Sparrow: ok thanks.. did you see the amazing vesa error?11:33
lesshasteI have never seen anything so fatal11:33
syockitlesshate: ok this time, try renaming xorg.conf to something else (like xorg.conf.lama), and restart x by: /etc/gdm restart11:33
syockitIt should start without xorg.conf11:33
Jack_Sparrowlesshaste agreed ..lose that xorg and start fresh11:34
lesshastesyockit: oh.. ok..the gdm command always just fails11:34
lesshastesyockit: so how should I start it?11:34
oCean_lesshaste: syockit that would be /etc/init.d/gdm start11:34

SiDiSAJMIRI: when you try this, is there an error ? if you want to manually setup the IP then right click, "Modify connexions", click on "eth0", then the modify button, and go to the IPv4 tab to specify manual IP12:01

therootestsidi, the one pc is kubuntu and the other xubuntu.12:01
SiDiSAJMIRI: can you try to ping your router please ?12:01
etfbJack_Sparrow: Is it?  Weird.  The hardware compatibility list is a pitiful joke.  I was hoping there'd be enough people here with enough experience that someone would know where I could look for real answers at least.12:01
SiDitherootest: you should see it at least under xubuntu, i'm on it and i see it.12:01
SAJMIRISiDi: i dont have a router12:02
SiDitherootest: try Alt+F2, and type "nm-applet", and tell me what you see12:02
SiDiSAJMIRI: router = ADSL box12:02
SiDiSAJMIRI: open and console and type "ping <box ip>" and tell me if it answers12:02
Jack_Sparrowetfb You can look try offtopic for discussion or there was a linux laptop project with some decent info12:02
therootestsidi, there is no such applet.12:03
SAJMIRISiDi: no i dont have one,the isp gave me a cable ,it is like a lan cable and it comes from a wireless anntena12:03
O__oetfb, having problem with laptop?12:03
etfbJack_Sparrow: The idea of "on topic" is certainly tighter here than I remember.  Ah well.  I'll google for "linux laptop project" and see what I can find.12:03
SiDitherootest: nm-applet should be installed on any default ubuntu install. Didn't you manually remove "NetworkManager" ? if so i can't help you12:03
therootestsidi, how can i remove network manager? i dont think i 've removed anything.12:04

SAJMIRISiDi: should i try it now?12:05

quibblerJack_Sparrow, another e book by the same author: http://www.mininova.org/tor/194770012:15
oCean_SAJMIRI: I'm not sure how you configured your network settings. But if you're doing it by hand, you should change the default route to a real address12:15
syockitno dhcp?12:16
O__oubuntu kung fu nice name12:16

dou213hey guys how can i see which version of ubuntu i've got curently installed?12:18
syockitthen you better check the network settings windows box12:18
oCean_SAJMIRI: ok. So the isp should have the information on the default gateway to. We're not able to provide you with that info.12:18
SAJMIRIoCean_: now i see it is different12:18
Jack_Sparrowdou213 lsb_release -a12:18
syockit*on the windows box12:19
oCean_SAJMIRI: well, your route table *and* your dns config should be in order to connect to internet successfully12:19
oCean_SAJMIRI: you'll have to ask your isp for correct settings12:19
SAJMIRIoCean_: in my lap top i have 2 OSs ubuntu and vista12:20
SAJMIRIoCean_: when i boot with vista internet is correct12:20
oCean_SAJMIRI: ah. ok12:20
oCean_SAJMIRI: so boot into vista, get the settings there, write them down, and use them in ubuntu12:21
syockitI hope that is not a crazy case with windows causing the network card to be unusable by other os12:21
SAJMIRIoCean_: ok i will try it now12:21
oCean_SAJMIRI: if the network in vista is set to dhcp, most of the network config is done automatically, no need to edit network settings12:21
oCean_SAJMIRI: if not, then write down ip address, netmask, default gateway and dns servers12:22
SAJMIRIoCean_: how to see id dhcp i set?12:23

ubottuPirat3: 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+)13:30

adaptrvock: if it is saying you have 8.04, then why do you think you have 8.10 ?14:13
vockadaptr: Tried updating it like 3 times so far, and rebooting, everytime i come back14:13
vockadaptr: I installed 8.10 from the synaptics update14:13
izinucshomy, it may be just too damaged14:14
IcyPolecathomy: you could try dd-rescue but am pretty sure that CD file systems are CRC dependant so missing data will corrupt the whole iso14:14

vockFlyingBishop, I have 2 harddrives, one has 2 partitions with windows on one, and ubuntu on the other14:18

chronoszacould be using vga for all i know :)14:36

yaztromoyep the small one is the new auto way14:39
geirhavock: One thing I would try is to rename /boot/grub/menu.lst and then run "sudo update-grub". That should create a brand new menu.lst. See if the newer kernels get added to that one.14:39
izinucsBoomking, yes.. except I just discovered a trick in menu.list to add the necessary line so when you get a kernel upgrade it doesn't go bonkers on you again14:39
ortsvorsteherchronosza: hope it helps. if not, try to paste your question here again with more details :)14:39

raphayaztromo: no prob, sry :-P15:24

BridgeInhabitantwhen I shut down in ubuntu the ethernet light remains on, how do I turn this off when I shutdown?15:30
raphazash: it's backports where 5.1.2 comes from.15:31
izinucsusser, finch, ysm, jwchat, jabber, ayttm15:31
hatter243BridgeInhabitant, unplug the computer or ethernet cable.15:31
raphastep21_: well, PHP 5.1.2 and 5.1.3 are API compatible. It's a minor upgrade, so it would be logical to have a backport for it.15:31
usserizinucs, thank you15:31
BridgeInhabitanthatter243, ok, but the fact remains the ethernet card is still active as I am using a laptop15:31
joaboaconstrctr_A question-when I do an ls -lF command, for my home directory, ownership is coming up all root.  This does not seem right.  Should I do a chown to me?  Anyone...Bueller?15:32
izinucsusser, you can search synaptic for icq and come up with lots of references.. from terminal apt-cache search icq15:32
BridgeInhabitanthatter243, this may also be linked to another ethernet bug I am currently having so having it shutdown properly could be the fix15:32
usserizinucs, yea did that, looking through my numerous options :) thank you15:32
hatter243BridgeInhabitant, it's not active, it's a link light, it means that the cable is plugged into something that has power in it. It is not ubuntu related, this is hardware related. Windows, Mac, whatever will all do the same thing15:32
BridgeInhabitanthatter243, the thing is windows does not do the same thing15:33
izinucsusser, np..15:33
jonaskoelkerusser: centericq is command-line, bitlbee's interface is a through your irc client, so it's kinda' command line too15:33
usserjonaskoelker, izinucs thank you for your help, ayttm looks really nice15:34

crocdBenSmith: should be easy if you change your bios to be able to boot from a USB device then run the Live cd and install it on the USB drive. What should happen is that grub is installed on the internal hard drive of the pc. Or you can go to www.pendrivelinux.com and grab a USB boot iso to creat the full install on that.

chi_Pirat3,  as said by others you should use chown command, but you should use it with some parameters ... how old are you? if you wanna play around with your system you should read up what it is all about... if you dont want to read up you always have to ask questions, which is no fun at all16:01
vockgoran__, and when you run it, it doesn't give an error, and correctly states the driver?16:01

chi_goran__,  and if you read up nvidia forum you will see, installing anything else could be a very hard problem... so you have to do the work for your own and post in that forum an into other forums... because the problem gets bigger than can be discussed here, i souppose16:07
Pirat3Hmmm. It seems rebooting it sorted it out. :)16:07
jtajikillerbun: 'dpkg -L libgnumail-java' will list the files16:07
geirhaPirat3: Don't have gedit around to test atm. But try creating it from the terminal with this line: echo '<?php phpinfo();?>' >/var/www/test.php16:07
killerbunjtaji, thanks16:08
chi_goran__,  you should use the driver mentioned on the link i gave you... and the problems are easier16:08
goran__that is older driver, i used it and everything was fine.. but this happened when i updated to newer driver16:08
geirhaPirat3: Then http://localhost/test.php should show you lots of info about php16:08
chi_goran__,  you said you are useing ubuntu 8.10 => so there you can activate hardware driver ... if you updated from 8.04 you may expact many problems... that may lead you to envy ( to clean up old installations)16:09

turkjeusikonia, so I get out of ideas18:48
Melanhow can i use my Fritz Wlan usb stick under ubuntu?18:48
su4mikonia: i don't know, i don't have an opinion. i don't like kde, especially kde 4, but i want to know something certain, something that would sound reassuring to me and i don't find any promises. the main reason i'm in doubt is the lgpl switch18:48
chronoszaikonia: ok ill try force i810 and see18:48
[kev]SQLDarkly, i've alredy tried installing and removing nonfree... nothign works18:48
ikoniasu4m: they are not switching - they have not said anything about it - so take that as fact18:48
[kev]SQLDarkly, ideally i'd like to remove EVERYTHING and start from scratch18:48

linduxed?where does nm-applet store its configuration18:49

ikonia[kev]: re-install to be sure then18:49

HakumeI'm on Windows atm because wireless drivers won't work.19:18

MrWindexanyone know a program for ubuntu to make beats/techno stuff, like a synth program?19:18
shirajjove: no its just called xarchiver19:19
derekAm I am completely ignorant to what your asking me?19:19
ScuniziWishingMaster: I just got a kernel update today for 8.10 .. when you get it depends on what mirror you're hooked to and when it's synced19:19
prison_breakhello how can i see who is offline in amsn but in reality he's not19:19
WishingMasterScunizi, so i think i can upgrade to 2.6.28-219:19
cwilluchronosza, still there?19:19
hwildehow do I tell which nvidia-177 or -180 I am actually using?  lsmod only shows "nvidia"  and dpkg says I have several installed19:19
joveshiraj: can I run sudo apt-get install xarchive ?19:20
chronoszacwillu: yes just done it19:20
cwilluchronosza, k19:20

gammyI removed /var/cache. Haw. Is it possible to recreate the directory hierarchy (easily) ?19:21
mehrabrecently when I install a program I cannot find it in kickoff menu or even run it in terminal, and I have to reboot to be able to use i19:21
Scunizihwilde: if you look in System>Admin>hardware drivers what does it say there?  if nothing is tagged then did you install 180 by downloading from nvidia? if so that's probably what you're using.19:21
prison_breakIs there any way how can i see who is offline in amsn?19:21
joveshiraj: once it's done, where should i launch it ?19:21
derek<--- Had everything working completely fine. Then one day an update caused gnome not to load properly. I think it has something to do with the display driver. I do not know how to fix it. Tried downloading Linux drivers from Nvidia and got a kernel error. How do I fix it through the repository?19:21
Dvyjoneshwilde: apt-get install setpwc?19:22
hwildeScunizi, ran nvidia-settings, says -180 there.19:22

hellhound_I am trying to setup dual monitors on my 8.10 installation.  I get an "x" cursor on the extra monitor not the normal cursor and no windows will move to it.  The other monitor runs fine.... can anyone help?  my xorg file is at http://pastebin.com/m4ecf473c19:22

hwildeDvyjones, I dunno but http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/    Phillips Webcam Driver for Linux.19:22
leftyfbgammy: I already answered you. Reinstall ubuntu19:22
Scunizihwilde: great.. if you didn't download them directly from nvidia you might have set up the medibuntu repos..19:22
shirajjove: itll give you the option to open with xarchiver19:22
gammyleftyfb: Gah nazis everywhere.19:22
HakumeI think I got that specific enough...19:23
prison_breakIs there any way how can i see who is offline in amsn?19:23
leftyfbgammy: nazi? What's your problem?19:23
gammyleftyfb: Now why on earth would I have to reinstall ubuntu for removing cache?19:23
hwildeScunizi, I apt-getted them19:23
gammyleftyfb: were all dependency things for apt in there?19:23
HakumeDoes the 8.10 upgrade fix the wireless driver issues?19:23
jariep1_hi all19:24
Endophage8.10 has fixed my wireless issues19:24
Scunizihwilde: then you must have the medibuntu repo's listed on your system.. maybe for the dvd playback restricted drivers.19:24
HakumeI'll check then.19:24
leftyfbgammy: Not sure how else you need to be told. You deleted a vital part of your filesystem. /var/cache isn't just files created temporarily all the time. You cannot just reinstall every application and expect it to recreate /var/cache.19:24
gammyleftyfb: because I can still seemingly use the machine and install AND remove packages, except it wants the hierarchy.19:24

mehrabhwilde: now after rebooting I can run with just kaffeine and also I can run it from application menu, before rebooting none of the worked, i wanna solve this19:45

cwilluBCampbell, k, then I don't have much of an idea19:45
cwilluBCampbell, try running firefox in a terminal so as to get the debug output, and you might try creating a fresh profile and seeing if you still have the issue19:45
Scunizijonaskoelker: check what pages are loaded.. if they are constantly pulling in info or not.. like sites with boxes/frames that are moving or forever updating.19:45
SoyoI guess I wipe it all and re-install the whole thing19:46
cwilluchronosza, you're on 8.04 or 8.10?19:46

eMaXI'm extending my root drive - I've created a second drive and created the same partition scheme with just the / partition being bigger. I then copied, using -a, all from, say, sda1 to sdc1 and recreated /proc. then I did dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdc bs=446 count=1 to transfer the boot sector. then I swapped the drives and get GRUB: Hard Disk Error. Any ideas?21:12

jansencan anyone help me to configure Encore - ENM232- sound driver for linux?? i only found linux one21:14
eMaXCpplus, now how do I set up grub so that it installs itself on the new drive21:14
nickrudAndreasMadrid, you can install abs-guide, and find a manual at /usr/share/doc/abs-guide which will give you an idea of what this script does21:15
eMaXCpplus, I've tried to chroot to /mnt/tmp and run grub from there. I've also tried grub-install --recheck /dev/sdc but that didn't help, it just wrote additional lines into device.map21:15
AndreasMadridnickrud: well, not to simple for me. I'ma noob. My scripts only contain "mkdir" "rm" and "cd" and calling other programs21:15
AndreasMadridok21:15
AndreasMadridi will try21:15
AndreasMadridthank you,  nickrud21:15
nickrudAndreasMadrid, you've only added one more to your list of known stuff then: case :)21:15
pike_eMaX: just sudo grub and then root (sda1)  then setup (sda)  to rewrite the mbr where sda1 is whatever partition containing /boot and sda or sdb is whatever driver mbr you wish to rewrite21:15
eMaXpike_,  my /new/ harddrive is sdc so I assume root (sdc1) and setup (sdc) ?21:16
nickrudAndreasMadrid, a couple other things, but first put your script on http://paste.ubuntu.com so I can look for obvious stuff. Then we'll make it executable, and then set it up for running on boot21:16

pike_eMaX: assuming thats the hard drive that is booted by your bios yeah.21:17
nickrudAndreasMadrid, the $1 is substituted by the first command given. Like /etc/init.d/<scriptname> start , or stop, or reload, etc.21:17
pike_depends on boot order21:17
eMaXpike_, for the moment it is sda, but I've another drive sdc to which I am migrating. That one is sdc21:17

nickrudAndreasMadrid, I'd change the Short-Description, and line 4 as well. And root is god, it can read anything21:19
nickrudtweak66, are you using firestarter? if so, you don't have to run the gui. The firewall settings are automatically started when the interface comes up.21:20
eMaXpike_, ok maybe root (hd2,0) then setup (hd2)21:20
pike_eMaX: ah sorry its 0 instead of a so root (hd0,0)21:20

harlemdavvey.. oh ok guys.. solved:) thx anyway:)23:08
harlemdavveybye23:08
pike_harlemdavvey: you are sure you want to do this?  easiest method maybe sudo fdisk -l to see the partitions and then sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc1 or whatever partition. make sure of the partition and that its ok to just reformat it (doesnt have any config files etc the mp3 player needs)23:08

dementia_pike_: so yeah, i have 0 3d support right now, and searching nvidia's site has suggested as you had stated that geforce 4 or better is the best bet for linux23:08
dementia_pike_: my old geforce 2 ti is not up for 3d apparently23:09
pike_dementia_: the reason for that is that the package are broken into nvidia-legacy and nvidia and nvidia-new  your card is legacy and so fairly old but ive dropped those cards in systems for forever the usually work well23:09

keithclarkHi there, I get no sound at all out of my system....how to begin troubleshooting?23:37
Rhorsekoshari, right :)23:37
pike_fruit-dude: im sure you can get it to work. sure youre using the adobe plugin an not the open source flash?23:37
kosharikeithclark to begin with have you checked the mixer23:37
fruit-dudekeithclark, do you have more than 1 sound card?23:37
mihakeithclark: by dmesg | less23:37
keithclarkyes23:37
keithclarkOne sound card23:38
=== tonak is now known as tonakai
mihakeithclark: then  alsamixer ?23:38
dlikeithclark, 1) run alsaconf as root 2) add yourself to the 'audio' group (log out and log in again) 3) use alsamixer and unmute channels and raise levels (also try muting some channels) 4) arts or esound stopped? 5) OSS modules unloaded? 6) speakers on? 7) modprobe snd-pcm-oss  8) does "aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav" work for root? Test your sound with aplay and a wav so codec issues don't confuse the situation. <list alsa users>23:38

leeping2007koshari, I would like my client machine to install the Hardy server over the network, as if I had inserted a CD23:38
rdw200169Ms_Hutch, what sound system does Skype use? /dev/dsp right?23:38
keithclarkdli, holy cow!23:38
bdelin88exodus_ms: i posted the problem there but it looks like there is an ntfs problem, is there a better thing to use than cfdisk from the command line?23:38
Rhorsecadman21, why you just install vlc?23:38
CyberGabberkeithclark: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting23:38
kosharileeping2007 it would need to be booted from the medium to do that23:38
leeping2007koshari, I've done it before ... it was a year ago though :P23:39
exodus_msbdelin88: did you format that whole drive as ntfs or just a section of it23:39
cadman21Rhorse: sudo apt-get insatll VLC?23:39
leeping2007The client machine doesn't have a CD-ROM drive23:39
Rhorsecadman sudo apt-get install vlc23:39
keithclarkCyberGabber, I went through that and I'm here23:39
Ms_Hutchrdw200169, i am not sure... under the setting I can choose the card and it gives hw:Intel,1 information for each card23:39
bdelin88exodus_ms: it is a partition of the entire hard drive, and yes i formatted the whole partition ntfs23:39
comacityhello my friends23:39
cadman21Rhorse: thanks a ton23:39
xbmcNo package 'xorg-server' found23:39
kosharileeping2007 use a usb install medium23:39
Rhorsecadman21, no problem23:39
xbmcwhat is causing that??23:40
rdw200169Ms_Hutch, ah, that's alsa; do you know what sound system the rest of your computer is using; pulseaudio i think is the default now23:40
laughyn1nj4what are boot images, and why does GRUB need them?23:40
keithclarkOk, thanks....sound seems to be a problem.23:40
exodus_msbdelin88: use fdisk and grep again to list all ntfs partitions23:40
Ms_Hutchrdw200169, i am running kde so i believe it is alsa as well23:40
leeping2007koshari, I could, but it's just so much less cool :)23:40
bdelin881 sec23:40
bdelin88exodus_ms: 1 sec23:41
rdw200169Ms_Hutch, well, you can just change the device in that Skype config, perhaps to hw:<other card>23:41
kosharileeping2007 i beleive what you were proposing is possable via a network connection, i saw a few people doing so at a LUG nite once23:41
stermisomeone used CUnit?23:42
leeping2007koshari, I think I got it to work at some point -- I had to make the installer OS believe that the CD-ROM was mounted23:42
Ms_Hutchrdw200169, that is what i am trying... but it seems that no matter what I choose it does not work23:42
leeping2007but I actually don't remember how to do that23:42
kosharileeping2007 http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/10/08/how-to-install-ubuntu-locally-over-the-network/23:42
keithclarkSo there is no easy problem to sound problems?  I see tons showing up here.23:42
leeping2007koshari, I'll look at that. Thanks :)23:42
kosharileeping2007 it would appear you need the alt disc23:43
rdw200169Ms_Hutch, if your system is using pulseaudio, you may be running into the issues outlined here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio23:43
leeping2007koshari, yeah .. I think I'll either get that or do a regular network install (use a minimal image and download stuff from an Ubuntu mirror)23:44
rdw200169Ms_Hutch, because Skype doesn't work *at all* right?23:44

mrwesis there a minimal install of Ubuntu?23:46
fruit-dudeinstalling swfdec-mozilla pike_ ← that worked23:46
bdelin88exodus_ms: any thoughts?23:46
exodus_msbdelin88: that's okay, but if there is not any data on the drive you want to keep, I would suggest using gparted to delete the partition and then reformat to whatever you like23:46
Gerinychhow do i repair a ntfs partition?23:46
kosharimrwes yes23:46
rdw200169Ms_Hutch, it's important to know if you're running pulseaudio; that and what version of ubuntu you're using, i.e. 8.04 or 8.1023:46
bdelin88exodus_ms: can i do that from the command line?23:46
xbmcdougl: no, its "nameserver 1.1.1.1"23:46
xbmcnot just the ip23:46
exodus_msbdelin88: sudo apt-get install gparted23:46
douglI dunno if the syntax is right... man /etc/resolv.conf23:46
rdw200169Ms_Hutch, you can find out if pulseaudio is running by using the command: ps -AF | grep pulseaudio23:46
mrweskoshari: hrmm...that's a big help23:46
Ms_Hutchrdw200169, skype works except for voicecalls and only the mic does not work on that23:47
exodus_msbdelin88: there is a gui for gparted23:47
pike_dougl: yeah nameserver <ip> you can have multiple ones23:47
keithclarkOk, I also have a website where I recommend distos, should I just not recomed Ubuntu due to sound problems?  It seems to be the main problem.23:47
bdelin88exodus_ms: i have to use the command line23:47
rdw200169Ms_Hutch, ah, you led me to believe that it wasn't doing *anything*23:47
mrwes:)23:47
douglxbmc, pike_ ok - thanks guys :)23:47
bdelin88exodus_ms: i am trying to figure this out for intrepid server23:47
pike_dougl: bear in mind this isnt a static file its overwritten quite often23:47
rdw200169Ms_Hutch, run that command to see if pulseaudio is being used; it may be23:47
bdelin88exodus_ms: it is gui only isn't it?23:48
douglpike_, ok thanks for the tip23:48
stermi_hi all, someone used CUnit? I need to know which is the packages and where it will be installed23:48
