I turned nscd off so I won't be looking at cached ldap info [00:00] gbear142751: perhaps dpkg might be able to do the uninstall [00:00] if you mean the config file which tells X how to use your video card and monitors etc [00:00] is there another file ? [00:00] yeah [00:00] Slart: was kinda messy [00:00] gbear142751: was I unclear in some way?:) [00:01] Shock: perhaps... did you mention you have tried the adobe v10 for 64bit linux already?

[00:02] hm ok, maybe you need to try a different driver. I dont use compiz since it doesnt work well on dual monitors [00:02] gbear142751: AFAIK there's no stable 64bit java plugin [00:03] gbear142751: that will remove other packages, like linux-generic I think. if you add --force-depends, it will only remove that package [00:03] somebody can help me with ssh [00:03] I just thought there were a second file [00:03] edju: the partition afaics that's how i read it [00:03] !ask | i-pink [00:03] i-pink: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:23] what. [00:23] D:! [00:23] is their a way a can revert ubuntu to previous update? [00:24] There is no root password.

[00:27] but it's ways too not loud [00:27] i-pink: on a linux box "ssh -X flip@localhost gcalctool" will do what you want. I don't know about putty [00:27] how i can write script to connect via ssh [00:27] Vubi: don't uninstall evolution.. for some reason a lot of stuff depends on evolution [00:27] Slart: YOU ROCK! ok i think i got -9 off completely [00:27] Slart: where do I make my donations?

[00:27] gbear14275: awesome.. now answers the next person that asks about that =) [00:27] fiber: not really answering your question, but why not a start script to do this (in bash...)? [00:28] Vubi: indeed =) [00:28] All of a sudden my sound doesn't work. I am running an Audigy 2Z and don't believe it's the card. What can I do to test? [00:28] dou213, sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/usbstick [00:28] fiber, you could take a shot with screwing around in /etc/network/if-*.d/ [00:28] peterm: well.. then it's time to play with the mixer settings and see if you can get louder [00:28] anybody got any idea how to get bluetooth running on a toshiba a200 with built in bluetooth? [00:28] thief`, thx [00:28] if it says /media/usbstick dir not found, then sudo mkdir /media/usbstick first. === pauljw_ is now known as pauljw [00:28] Slart: ok... but what I remember was that there were terminal commands involving the -f command, we tried dpkg, and then it stumbled to a success [00:28] slart, mixer is all maxed is there some tweak? [00:28] Have there been any issues with recent updates and sound? [00:29] Slart: but I'll take better notes next time [00:29] gbear14275: apt-get is a bit too polite.. dpkg just doesn't take no for an answer.. dpkg -f is even nastier =) [00:29] fiber, 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 reliable [00:29] rdw200169: hrm... sounds promising! do you think that is called after dhcp though? [00:29] thief`, "mount: mount point /media/sdc1 does not exist" [00:30] peterm: nothing I know of.. some soundcards have this problem.. [00:30] hi everybody, i need to enable DVI out on my radeon 9550 card using fglrx. Can somebody please point me in the right direction? [00:30] Slart: ah I think i get what happened then... dpkg made room for apt-get to work basically by uninstalling what it could [00:30] gbear14275: sounds about right [00:30] dou213 What are you tring to do [00:30] thief`, the cmd i ran was > sudo /dev/sdc1 /media/sdc1 === blouf_ is now known as blouf [00:30] ok, that is good, [00:30] slart... can I ask one more?

[00:30] first do sudo mkdir /media/sdc1 [00:30] fiber, i think it follows the same rules as /etc/rc*/ where you number the scripts in the order they should be run [00:30] gbear14275: ah.. that one.. hang on [00:30] is there anything interesting i can do with a 100/100 mbit ubuntu box with not much processing power? [00:30] Jack_Sparrow, i want to mount my usb-device [00:30] or4n_, if you like, name it someting you like... as in /media/greenstick [00:30] something you'll remember. [00:31] it is fat32 in windows [00:31] fiber, i don't know though, you should go look around in there though, it shouldn't be *too* complicated ;) [00:31] dou213 thief has it right [00:31] All of a sudden my sound system doesn't work on my Ubuntu box. I have recently updated and rebooted the system. I didn't notice it at first, but the sound system is dead? Anyone have any ideas? [00:31] Question: I recently updated my linux kernel and it removed my windows partition and my rescue drive partition. How do I go about restoring them? [00:31] Slart: I'll be here for another 5 hours... then I might have to sleep [00:31] TakeABow: turn it into a router with DDwrt? [00:31] i'm a mad n00b, but that i do know... hahah [00:31] rdw200169: haha, for sure... well thanks for the tip! i'll let you know if i find anything interesting out [00:31] Nubbie: It's not on my network, would be useless [00:31] gbear14275: oh, this will just take a minute [00:31] TakeABow: I second the firewall/router option [00:32] Trenter: upgrading a kernel cannot trash your partitions. something else went wrong somewhere. [00:32] maybe first i got to create the folder in /media? [00:32] fiber, generally, i have my interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces and I use ifup / ifdown to bring them up and down [00:32] TakeABow: Nubbie I prefer tomato though... but thats just what I use for my wrt54 [00:32] dougl that is what thief said yes [00:32] fiber, this way, all the appropriate scripts related to their initialization are run; this works for me w/dhcp [00:32] dou213, after that, google mount usb fstab - there is good info in there, to edit the fstab and make life happier. === squiddy is now known as Guest44203 [00:32] dou213, first type sudo mkdir /media/greenusbkey [00:32] TakeABow: turn it into a media slave, throw a bunch of beefy hard drives in and set it up as a file server [00:32] Nubbie: After updating my system it asked a question about linux kernel because it was updating, I said yes and now my windows boot option is gone [00:32] fiber, i'm *pretty* sure networkManager does the same thing, it would not make sense *not* to... i don't know though, i never have any luck w/NetworkManager [00:32] dou213, then type sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/greenusbkey [00:33] thief`, ok thx :) [00:33] Trenter: how did you do your update? [00:33] gbear14275: i have ddwrt because i don't have enough flash space for tomato. [00:33] dou213, it's ok that it is fat [00:33] The update manager === Hero is now known as Hero-xchat [00:33] Trenter: it didn't remove the partitions though, it just modified your bootloader [00:33] 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?

Can somebody please point me in the right direction? [00:34] ok im tryin to boot from an external harddrive and i created a partition gave it the boot flag and everything set up [00:34] thief`, another error: "mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist" [00:34] wont boot, but its not the first partition? [00:34] are u sure it is sdc? [00:34] Nubbie: 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] crunchbang: modify your bios settings to boot from USB [00:34] rdw200169: 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 networks [00:34] and it says connection refused, when i try to ssh localhost it says permissions 0777 for etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key are to open ubuntu [00:34] right. [00:34] gbear14275: can you pastebin the output of this command? "cat /etc/apt/source.list" ? [00:34] gbear14275: lol [00:34] wwhen you typed mkdir ... what exactly did you type? [00:34] Nubbie:will boot from my flash drive not my external harddrive, realises its ther jus wont boot [00:34] is there a tool that will tell you what programs are using how much network bandwidth? [00:34] fiber, then ifup/ifdown are the way to go === lance__ is now known as Guest69083 [00:35] Slart: no cause it says it doesn't exist, but I'll track down my sources list for you [00:35] fiber, 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...) scripts [00:35] gbear14275: ah.. typo.. my bad "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" I forgot the s [00:36] thief`, sudo mkdir /media/sdc1 >>> creates the folder sdc1 in /media... the sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/sdc1 [00:36] fiber, when you have stuff in /etc/network/interfaces though, ifup/ifdown are preferred [00:36] dou213, ok, now your looking good. [00:36] I recently updated my system and now my sound doesn't work. I have rebooted twice and still nothing. Anyone have any ideas? [00:36] type ls /media/sdc1 [00:36] fiber, 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 that [00:36] and it'll list what is on your usbkey [00:37] thief`, empty [00:37] bah thanks anyways guys, night [00:37] Slart: 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) === patrick is now known as Guest93019 [00:37] fiber, 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 bridge [00:37] anymore help, i cant boot from second partition of my external harddrive [00:37] dou213, that means your usb key has nothing on it. [00:37] does that make sense? [00:38] thief`, impossible [00:38] thief`, why the error when trying to mount? [00:38] <_patrickd> TakeABow: You can use sudo to do anything you can do as root in ubuntu as it doesn't really use the root account [00:38] what error do you see? [00:38] gbear14275: check this page https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA#Adding%20a%20PPA%20to%20your%20Ubuntu%20repositories [00:38] "mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist" [00:39] ooooh [00:39] ok. sorry [00:39] type sudo fdisk -l [00:39] gbear14275: there is a section about "Adding a PPAs keys to your system".. that's what you want to do [00:39] thta will list what is plugged in. [00:39] rdw200169: 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] dont worry fdisk is not the same in linux as it is in windows. [00:39] it won't format your drive... [00:40] Slart: 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] :) and now? it shows the partitions [00:40] oh it is sdb [00:40] not sdc1 :) [00:41] right. [00:41] found it [00:41] good job. [00:41] gbear14275: nah.. but do hang around in the channel and help others with problems.. that will make me sleep better at night === lance__ is now known as Guest94675 [00:41] will do! [00:41] usually it is sdc1, but not always. [00:41] dou213, after that, google mount usb fstab - there is good info in there, to edit the fstab and make life happier. [00:41] then you can mount waaay easier. [00:41] hey guys has anyone know of any good ultra long non netbook laptops that work well with ubuntu? [00:41] i just did that, and i'm happier. [00:41] how do i get the luncher on the bottom ubuntu with the big icons and u can throw them around the screen and they go back to the bar [00:41] long battery life* [00:42] Hey guy's. "screen" locked up on me so i killed the window and when i started a new screen im now getting a whole bunch of error. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2a10ce5c [00:42] spawn: you mean AWN? [00:42] thief`, thx very much [00:42] no prob... but really, read that, and you won't have this prob next time.. [00:42] slart hold on let me youtube that lol [00:42] vock, 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 something === ddog241 is now known as kd8hho [00:42] i'm learning it too [00:43] spawn: here's a good page http://ubuntu-snippets.blogspot.com/2008/05/ubuntu-dock-collection.html [00:43] slart perfect man thanks [00:43] spawn: you're welcome [00:44] Will setting the noatime option on a filesystem cause any problems on a raid0 array? [00:44] What 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] guys, for booting of an external hardrive thats split into two partitions does the first one have to be the boot [00:44] ? [00:44] The buttons function properly [00:44] rdw200169, the newest log files are called xorg.failsafe.log, does that make sense? [00:44] rdw200169, actually that's wrong, the one i posted is actually the newest by 2 hours on that one [00:45] I 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] vock, failsafe is always vesa... that doesn't help... you want one of the Xorg.X.log ones [00:45] vock, b/c if there's a problem w/starting the Xserver, it automatically restarts and goes failsafe w/vesa [00:45] rdw200169, 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-177 [00:45] !noatime [00:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about noatime [00:45] 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 ? [00:46] hi [00:46] !delete [00:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about delete [00:46] !de [00:46] In 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] rdw200169, 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 file [00:46] vock, 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) line [00:46] is 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] thinkgnu_: 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 terminal [00:46] rdw200169, 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? [00:47] crunchbang, the bootloader is at the begining of the drive, not on either partition. [00:47] thinkgnu_ : unless you're talking about something completely different, in which case, excuse my n00bishness =) [00:47] thief:its a live persistant install? [00:47] I am trying to get my joypad to work. it doesn't show up in /dev/input/. help? [00:47] vock, 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 it [00:47] Louis: think if i don't have any internet connection :p , i just want to use somone else updated packages [00:48] rdw200169, okay, brb [00:48] thinkgnu_: oh. That's going to be a royal pain in the butt =/ [00:48] vock, the easiest way to restart the x server is going to a tty (Ctrl + Alt + F1), and running [00:48] vock /etc/init.d/gdm restart [00:48] crunchbang, the bootsector would be at the beginning of the drive itself. [00:48] rdw200169, okay, brb [00:48] 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?

[00:49] mine still doesn't work [00:49] how do i kill Firefox when not responding.. i have closed the window but when i try to start a new firefox i get a error saying that firefox is already running [00:50] TheEdge_: it usually clears up after a minute or so when that happens. Are you running the latest version of firefox? [00:50] TheEdge_: alt+f2, run "killall firefox" [00:50] without quotes [00:50] hello [00:50] or do what lakotajames said =) [00:50] hello sysrpx [00:50] or xkill [00:50] then click the firefox window [00:51] TheEdge_, it's also useful, for future reference, to add the System Monitor applet to your panel; when you click on it, it comes up with a windows-like task manager [00:51] make sure you do not click anything you do not wish to kill though =) [00:51] demon012: he can't see the firefox window, or he wouldn't be trying to open a new one. [00:51] 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?

"screen" locked up on me so i killed the window and when i started a new screen im now getting a whole bunch of error. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2a10ce5c [00:53] lol [00:53] sysrpx: I think that happened to me once, and a reboot fixed it. [00:53] The version of scons in the repos is old, does anyone know if there is a .deb of the latest version? [00:53] What 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. The buttons still function properly. This has happened before. [00:53] Anyone know anything about Joypads? [00:53] what is the name for the screen when it pops up GNOME and has a picture of a foot [00:53] anyone? [00:53] if I have ssh-keygen make one private/public key from one user and then have ssh-keygen make another private/public key, I have to combine both .pub files into authorized_keys, right ? [00:54] tsuna27: splash screen? [00:54] lakotajames: i already rebooted and it's still messed up [00:54] sysrpx: sorry, then. That's the only thing I can remember doing to fix it. [00:54] anyone else? [00:54] Mean_Admin: yes [00:55] hi [00:55] ari_stress: then that user could login with either key, right ? [00:55] anyone know where the latest scons.deb is? [00:55] Hey. I'm configuring syslog for the first time. Is there a way for me to specify how long to keep files, how large they should be, when to increment logfile.0 to logfile.1 etc....

[01:02] diamondmax21 [01:02] Fertech: I'd suggest reading GRU Bdocs, I'm not entirely familiar, but there's a breakdown of what those mean.

[01:03] how are the recent packages kept ... in Git or in Bzr? How can I use them? [01:03] the answer is clear mplayer for video, mpd for audio [01:03] Alex_21: use xfce4 as your desktop, it's themeable. GNOME isn't particularly but it's default. KDE4 is broken right now.

"screen" locked up on me so i killed the window and when i started a new screen im now getting a whole bunch of error. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2a10ce5c [01:16] yo dawg [01:16] fogobogo: in which case they are both incorrect [01:16] aldren: Yes [01:16] exodus_ms: No, not at the moment I was just curious [01:16] vock, look up 'restricted' in Synaptic [01:16] vock, and make sure you have all the repositories enabled [01:16] Blais1: theres a system menu for resolution. isnt it? [01:17] aldren: Nevermind. [01:17] Thank you rdw200169 [01:17] Gustavo_G_: oh, ok. I [01:17] fogobogo: System > Preferences > Screen resolution lets me set it correctly, yes, but when I reboot it will return to 1024x768 [01:17] karsten, if the ubuntu remote desktop was not set to require a password to log in, is there somewhere the access would be logged? [01:17] Blais1: try as root! [01:18] Gustavo_G_, that, and it's started from the bash.bashrc [01:18] fogobogo, no [01:18] Cyberai: NFC. [01:18] bazhang: no? [01:18] fogobogo, dont suggest that [01:18] bazhang: what would you suggest? [01:18] Cyberai: auth.log is the standar authentication logging location. [01:18] bazhang: using root? aka sudo? [01:18] Blais1, what card and what driver [01:18] Cyberai: IIRC remote desktop == vnc which may not behave properly in that regard. [01:19] bazhang: ati, 8.12 [01:19] Anyone know how to get a Joystick working on Intrepid?

[01:19] I am completely lost on my 'smb'. Yesterday it was working, and now I cannot access any windows share by ip or by computer name. [01:19] If I want to get Vinagre (Remote Desktop Viewer) to connect to a windows box that has tightVNC installed, does my machine have to have vnc installed as well? [01:19] bazhang: oops yes [01:20] bazhang: with any app. It doesn't show up anywhere. [01:20] karsten, but wouldn't an outside IP contacting my system be logged somewhere? No matter what the protocol? [01:20] bazhang: doesn't show up in /dev/input [01:20] lakotajames, such as..could you give an example? [01:20] Cyberai: Not if the application doesn't log it. You might log access via iptables but that's entirely different. [01:20] Slart: doesn't show up in /dev/input [01:20] rdw200169, I think i'm missing some repositories: There's one for Ubuntu 8.04 Officially supported, non-free drivers, but not the equivalent for 8.10 [01:20] Blais1, was this installed using restricted drivers, or from ati site directly [01:20] Can any one suggest a slide show program like feh, but be able to make transitions between images? [01:20] lakotajames: oh..normal usb joystick? [01:21] bazhang: i would be happy if it would show up anywhere. [01:21] bazhang: I downloaded from the ati sitew [01:21] vock, anything intrepid specific, and i don't know, i still have not upgraded... [01:21] Slart: well, gamepad, but yes. usb. [01:21] vock, regardless, i have to leave for a while, i wish you luck, my friend [01:21] Hi can anyone tell me where the gnome config would be.. like to change the autohide settings for gnome panel [01:21] rdw200169, i'm wishing i hadn't but no time to go backwards [01:21] Slart: had it working before. but not on Intrepid/ [01:21] rdw200169, thanks a lot for the help so far, made some progress [01:21] Cyberai: Logging is somewhat cooperative: most daemons are set up to talk to syslogd which is set up to capture and record the log messages. If an application doesn't generate messages, they're not logged. If vpNC or whatever remote desktop is running ... === Hero-xchat is now known as Hero === Hero is now known as Hero[brb] [01:22] lakotajames, perhaps I should rephrase, with what app are you trying to use it? zsnes? other? [01:22] Cyberai: uses PAM, then it's possible you can centrally control this. You need to RTFM [01:22] lakotajames: hmm.. odd.. don't really know what to do then [01:22] hi, can u help me? my home/user folder crash and restarts when trying to view it with nautilus [01:22] karsten, dont use that acronym here please [01:22] bazhang: in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log there is a line where it states "(II) fglrx(0): Restoring recent mode: 1024x768@75Hz" not sure why [01:23] bazhang: read the fine manual? [01:23] After having upgraded my computer, I can't log on anymore. The screen is stuck with a beige background and the spinny hourglass. [01:23] Blais1, iirc its a problem with fglrx [01:23] Can someone please help me? [01:23] can u help me? my home/user folder crash and restarts when trying to view it with nautilus [01:23] bazhang: openlierox, but I don't even know if it supports Joystick, so I installed Joystick Calibrator, and it doesn't recognize it. [01:23] sorry karsten, the vinagre man is pathetically short and sheds no light, nor did google. [01:23] Munchkinguy: can you log in in safe mode? [01:23] Munchkinguy: create a new user and see if the same thing happens for that user [01:23] Slart: thanks anyway. [01:24] Cyberai: sucks to be you I guess. [01:24] Cyberai: File a documentation bug. [01:24] karsten, thanks anyway [01:24] bazhang: Everything else works fine, I can set my res once logged in, Games work, Wine works, Desktop effects work, it's just the resolution when I boot, I don't get it [01:25] Blais1: If I press Ctrl-Alt-F5, I can log in to the text mode. [01:25] 64 bit java plugin for Firefox: install from repos or from Sun? [01:25] Can any one suggest a slide show program like feh, but be able to make transitions between images? [01:25] lakotajames, I have had troubles with certain apps, luck with others; this is a usb joystick correct? ie game console joystick but with usb attachment [01:25] karsten: sun didn't have one last time I checked. Has that changed? [01:25] Munchkinguy: what about when you boot your machine, is the screen already beige, or do you have a graphical login screen? another thing to try is to write startx in your terminal login [01:25] Munchkinguy: GNOME's fuxnored somehow. Do you get a login screen at all? Or does this happen when you give username/password? [01:26] bazhang: no, it is a standard meant-for-pc gamepad. usb. [01:26] Munchkinguy: sounds like you'll have to reinstall your graphics drivers [01:26] jrib: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1013658 which points ... not to Sun. There's third-party refs.

[01:30] 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 happens [01:30] i just need the c compiler for vmware to use - not really for me to use. [01:30] maybe it has to do with permissions [01:30] i thought it was something like sudo apt-get install xfce-ubuntu ( ubuntu -xfce ) [01:30] Munchkinguy: not a card problem, a driver problem [01:30] please give me a hand [01:30] PSPdemon: Install w/ aptitude. They'll show up at your GDM/KDM login window as options for your X session [01:30] it needs it to finish the inst. as i have a mod'd kernel and it doesn't reconize it. [01:30] Ah.. that's what I meant.

[01:31] PSPdemon Did you try looking through synaptic? i installed kde and xfce that way. [01:31] HoNgOuRu: have you tried opening nautilus from the command line [01:32] Blais1, do you mean recovery mode? [01:32] lakotajames, no didnt check there [01:32] will check now [01:32] karsten: didnt find it there [01:32] lakotajames, yes, just doing a quick search for your issue [01:32] aaaaah! ok, i have gcc apparently. but vmware says this: [01:32] What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running [01:32] kernel?

I didn't want to leave if you were still trying to help me. [01:33] thanks [01:33] I'll check it out [01:33] Munchkinguy: when you go to Terminal (using ctrl+alt+F5) does startx work? [01:33] does my Q make sense? [01:34] basic question [01:34] what is the command to uninstall? [01:34] bazhang: and if you do find anything, tell me what search terms you used. I have been looking all day/ [01:34] uninstall what wolv? [01:34] <_VIM_> Wolv3: sudo apt-get remove PackagenameGoeshere [01:34] uniconvertor [01:34] Wolv3: sudo apt-get remove thenameofthepackage [01:35] ok ty [01:35] HoNgOuRu: also, are you using compiz [01:35] no [01:35] I had to get rid of that one...too many problems [01:35] and I need my box to work [01:35] If im logged in to a computer and stiiting at it and run a command that spawns some thing graphical, i.e. feh, it works, but how can I do the same logged in over ssh?

[01:36] Now its my turn to ask a question, does any know of other irc chats but for solaris or aix systems? [01:36] jrib, display? [01:37] think it was caused by a conflict between acpi-support and evolution [01:37] svalenci: #solaris #aix [01:37] oh, just like that? [01:37] cool [01:37] thanks a lot jp [01:37] ok resize my nfts to my ext3 do it thru livecd??? [01:37] lakotajames, was this openlierox from the PPA or from another source? [01:37] _VIM_, jp_sf ty [01:38] <_VIM_> np [01:38] HoNgOuRu: on that I link o sent check the steps at the top. If that doesn't work one user mentioned this was the culprit 'My problem was solved. It was because of the (unintended!) presence of a file with bad characters.' [01:38] _VIM_, jp_sf now i download a new version but it dont install via ./config and make and make install [01:38] jrib: Java Joy! Thanks tons. [01:38] marine: you can use the LiveCD to resize the Hard Drive [01:38] is http://sk1project.org/modules.php?name=Products&product=uniconvertor [01:39] ok [01:39] let me try [01:39] weatherkid2, from my windows to linux [01:39] _VIM_, jp_sf can tellme how to? [01:39] Wolv3: what are you trying to install ? what kind of error do you have ? [01:39] <_VIM_> Wolv3: new version of what? and are you sure it's not in the repos? compiling is ugh! [01:40] I want to uninstall VIM, so I did so via "Add Remove Programs", but under Synaptic Package manager, it is still listed. I want to remove them, but I'm afriad it might remove other packages. What should I do? [01:40] bazhang: i think it was from a manually installed deb. But I the joystick doesn't even show up in /dev/input/, so i think the problem doesn't lie with openlierox. and even if it does, I was going to use rejoystick to emulate the keyboard, but that doesn't work either. [01:40] nope, all files have good names [01:40] <_VIM_> I say leave the compiling to the pros [01:40] weatherkid2, shrink my nfts then reformat to ext3 or use the unallocated partion and then refomat that into ext3 [01:40] marine, the LiveCD should partition it as the first or second step [01:40] jrib, display? [01:40] oliver_: Why? vim's generally useful and I'd suggest you leave it there. [01:40] n nessun canale. Prova prima /join # [01:40] Non sei in nessun canale. Prova prima /join # [01:40] _VIM_, jp_sf this software is a converter // win version to linux version design software files [01:40] amischi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:41] <_VIM_> Ubuntu has over 30 thousand packages, surely your app is going to be in the repos... [01:41] Wolv3: so it is not in the repository right ? [01:41] _VIM_, jp_sf but the version 1.1.2 no work with some new files [01:41] weatherkid2, i have already installed linux i want to use up the remaining harddrive space in windows because i'm running out of room [01:41] karsten, i guess your right, but in the future if i wanted to remove it, how would i completely remove it? [01:41] <_VIM_> Wolv3: ok well there should be a 'doc/s' 'readme' folder or file , you'll have to read those [01:41] <_VIM_> Wolv3: hmmm have you tried backports? [01:41] <_VIM_> !backports [01:41] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [01:42] Wolv3: ok It might need some lib what is the name of the program and what is the errors messages you have when you ./configure make install ? [01:42] _VIM_, to install package: python setup.py install [01:42] (will be installed into Python site-packages/ directory) [01:42] also why do people use emacs and vim when there are IDEs that do better jobs? [01:42] marine, hmm. I think if you get GParted from the Repos you may be able to reformat the leftover space. [01:43] lakotajames, which joystick was it? and this is not working with jscalibrator installed, correct? [01:43] <_VIM_> Wolv3: if it has a 'setup.py' it shoudlnt need ./configure and all that rubbish [01:43] If im logged in to a computer and stiiting at it and run a command that spawns some thing graphical, i.e. feh, it works, but how can I do the same logged in over ssh? [01:43] that's what i have gparted just resize my nfts file which will give me an unallocated parttion then merge into ext3 [01:44] My desktop effects stopped working after I plugged in a secondary monitor. Now it doesn't work even if the second monistor isn't plugged in. Any ideas? I'm on a macbook w/ ubuntu 8.10. [01:44] _VIM_, then how i install? [01:44] weatherkid2, that's what i have gparted just resize my nfts file which will give me an unallocated parttion then merge into ext3 [01:44] iI want to beable to play Mp3s on my Ubuntu, how do I install a program that will allow them to play? [01:44] MethinX: double click on an mp3 [01:44] bazhang: jscalibrator is installed, and it doesn't pick it up. Joystick is "Recoil GGE909" and it did work before.

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] Hello everyone.

[02:12] xim_, not sure as have not tried but the risk factor is probably lower than trying out a unsupported kernel for example === rutski is now known as Guest99435 [02:12] tabidachi_: I don't have those fonts but you could tryto install them make a directory in /usr/share/fonts/type1 [02:12] hmm ok [02:13] Installed Intrepid x64 updates today via GUI.

I am not positive waht format the external HD is, but it is either NTFS or FAT32... and I need to mount it and transfter the files off thruogh command line.. help would be great [02:19] orbstra: If you have ubuntu with gnome (GUI), it should automount it for you [02:19] ** use command line to transfter the files off... [02:19] WebcamWonder : I am connecting tot eh server with ssh [02:19] orbstra: Oops, missed the cli part [02:19] newb question: trying to make a launcher that runs a bash script to mount a series of shares.. gksu bash script.sh is working from the terminal, but not when inserted into a launcher.

[02:20] i should add that "chmod 777 /dev/parport0" works, but how should i automate this? do i really need to put the chmod in some startup script, or is there a "clean" way to do it, a group i can add myself to? :) [02:20] mrpinky: Which group does the device belong to? [02:20] BlueEagle, how can i find out? :) [02:20] mrpinky: ls -l /dev/parport0 === dzup-beback is now known as dzup [02:20] bazhang, hmm, i'd need bluetooth, it doesn't work?

[02:20] orbstra: sudo fdisk -l (to get the partition table). sudo mount /dev/ /mount/point [02:20] orbstra: sudo mkdir /mnt/usb;mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb [02:20] bazhang, usb i guess... heh, i could do without. [02:20] orbstra: and then use cp [02:20] I would like some advice. I have two machines. One has Ubuntu, the other has a duel boot WinXP, and Ubuntu, each on separate Harddrives. I want all three to be able to link to the same Thunderbird profile. Any tips? [02:20] mrpinky: Also, have you logged out and back in after adding yourself to the group (including re-starting X)?

[02:22] bazhang, it happen to support bluetooth? [02:22] thief`, not sure there, as I have no bluetooth vbox needs at the moment :) [02:22] solexious: Look at X over SSH. It allows you to run GUI programs over ssh [02:22] hehe, i hear ya.

[02:23] it worked [02:23] thanks guys SERIOUSLY [02:23] i've read the one ver. doesn't work? [02:23] BlueEagle, yep i restarted whole pc [02:23] mrpinky: Then you need to be a member of the "scanner" group to use the device. [02:23] mrpinky: lp is the owner and scanner is the group. [02:23] BlueEagle, ah i see [02:23] mrpinky: So add the user(s) you want to be able to use the device to the scanner group and, if neccessary, log them out and back in and it should be availible. [02:23] BlueEagle, so users need to be in the same group as a file to access the file? [02:23] mrpinky: Well, seeing as that file (now) is rwx for others it should not be neccessary tbh. [02:23] BlueEagle, ah depends on the permissions :) i get it [02:23] thief`, the 3rd party or the -ose? if one does not work its easy to get the other [02:24] webcamwonder, am I confused, as that seems to be about opening gui's on the box being ssh'd from not into [02:24] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.

[02:25] webcamwonder, Yup :) [02:25] I would like some advice. I have two machines. One has Ubuntu, the other has a duel boot WinXP, and Ubuntu, each on separate Harddrives. I want all three to be able to link to the same Thunderbird profile. Any tips? [02:25] thief`, if this is intrepid then vbox is much better supported [02:25] solexious: Then how would you interact with it? [02:25] nathanhelp: Dropbox [02:25] it wanted me to get headers, i diid that, then it needed a c compiler to to the kernel module (or something) and that failed. [02:25] hello world [02:25] yep, on intrepid. 8 10 [02:26] nathanhelp: Or rsync, pick your favourite [02:26] really? so screw vmware? [02:26] webcamwonder, Dont need to, im usinf feh to make a slide show happens, hands free [02:26] i thunk vmware would be waaay better as it's so popular / old / tried and true. [02:26] !rsync [02:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about rsync [02:26] i like this thread title: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1053932 [02:26] thief`, your choice really, or try wine to see if that will run it check the !appdb [02:27] yeah, wine doesn't work well for that app... i hear ya though. [02:27] nathanhelp: Well, the most reasonable thing to do would be to export that profile from the machine just using one OS. [02:27] so really though? from what you said, it sounds great. the ose ver. will work ok for this eee with array kernel? [02:27] webcamwonder, wow, I did a lot of typos then [02:27] nathanhelp: That ofcourse does require that this machine be online for the others to have access to that profile. [02:27] any ideas? === Hero is now known as Hero[EXPL] [02:27] Please expand BlueEagle... [02:27] fulltilt freezes in wine, and you lose the game cause of it. hah [02:27] not good. [02:27] hi how do i get my pci dvb card working in ubuntu ? [02:28] solexious: hmm.

[02:28] nathanhelp: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/expand [02:28] can someone give me a little help? [02:28] webcamwonder, would telnet work you think?

[q] Where are the in and out take vents? [02:28] BlueEagle: lol. Not what I meant. [02:29] orbstra: cp -r /source /dest (I THINK, I AM NOT SURE!) [02:29] nathanhelp: Well, what did you mean? Because I am quite certain that you did not want me to become obese. [02:29] can anyone help with a command line question? [02:29] solexious: I don't think so. I need you need some vnc variant to do that [02:29] joaboaconstrctr: ? [02:29] orbstra, or cheat like i do and install the 'mc' file manager. :) and use it.. [02:29] !ask | joaboaconstrctr [02:29] joaboaconstrctr: 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. :-) [02:29] BlueEagle: Haha :D. I meant can you expand your explanation on that. Exporting? machine online for them to access? [02:29] hai [02:29] webcamwonder, well thanks any way :) [02:30] nathanhelp: If I understood you correctly, you need to sync between 4 different OS right? [02:30] solexious: Sorry, couldn't help you any further [02:30] ok...how do I change ownership of an external drive directory with the following address (the spaces were created in os x)>>/media/74.5 GB_BACKUPS [02:30] WebcamWonder: No just 2 different os's on three different HD's [02:31] BlueEagle: expand : 7. to express something more fully or in greater detail [02:31] :P [02:31] nathanhelp: 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] joaboaconstrctr: With nautilus right click on the folder and change the permission. However, changing permission is not something we recommend [02:31] BlueEagle: Thats correct. [02:32] nathanhelp: And that is why I said, Dropbox, or rsync :) [02:32] 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] nathanhelp: 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] BlueEagle: 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] !dropbox [02:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about dropbox [02:32] thief`, well I did qualify it with 'should do', though if it does not the other certainly will [02:32] nathanhelp: 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. [02:33] !ntfs | nathanhelp [02:33] nathanhelp: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [02:33] joaboaconstrctr: mkdir /path/to/folder, for creating directories, and chmod for changing permissions [02:34] nathanhelp: 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] 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] nathanhelp: 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. [02:35] BlueEagle: 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] nathanhelp: Did you read what ubottu told you about !ntfs ? [02:35] doing so now. I have a slow computer :) [02:35] does anyone know of a way to list the currently installed programs by date last used? [02:36] > /media/74.5 GB_BACKUPS [02:36] nathanhelp: 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] joaboaconstrctr: sudo chmod /media/74.5\ GB_BACKUPS [02:36] nathanhelp: Still, accessing the same data on several computers requires that that data be shared over the network in any case. [02:37] thanks [02:37] BlueEagle: also he should probably want to install the NTFS configuration tool as well [02:37] BlueEagle: I read it but it didnt mean much to me. [02:37] has anyone used outguess here before? [02:38] nathanhelp: Oh, and "please expand BlueEagle" is not the same as "please expand, BlueEagle". :) [02:38] lol I like you. [02:38] ;) [02:39] #wiul [02:40] nathanhelp: 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] Hello, Does anyone have any idea why Firefox crashes every time I view a webpage that has Flash content imbedded within? [02:40] BlueEagle: 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? [02:41] nathanhelp: That depends on the nature of said "weird behaviour". [02:41] kao, get flashblock from the repos.. that solved my problem [02:41] nathanhelp: 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] Network drivers just stopped. Cant System Restore...Other littler thigns that dont stop the XP from working, just annoying. [02:41] Out_Cold: Does this do exactly what the name implys and just blocks all flash content? === dmiles is now known as shaggyoaf [02:42] Out_Cold: If So, This is not what I want. [02:42] nathanhelp: Well, that doesn't sound like data corruption. Just coincidences. [02:42] it will block it until you click on the flash object.. [02:42] kao, it works well with the crashing problem and allows faster loading [02:42] nathanhelp: Also, someone mentioned some ntfs configuration tools. You might want to ask redvamp128 about it. [02:42] Out_Cold: Ok, I will try that. Thank you [02:43] then if you want the flash, you just click.. [02:43] nathan in the repository there is ntfsconfiguration tool [02:43] does anyone know of a way to list the currently installed programs by date last used? [02:43] BlueEagle: Ok fair enough. I'm aware that the computer needs to be on for any of the three HD's to access the TB profile. That's not really a prob, but im looking for ideas on how to set this up. Thanks redvamp128. [02:43] "I fixed my login problem; I had some old versions of libz in /usr/local/lib" (c) Munchkinguy [02:43] nathanhelp: there is also a ntfs configuration tool which helps mount and unmount NTFS correctly [02:44] Wow. busy today :) === _sigterm is now known as sigterm [02:44] nathanhelp: Well, what I would do is to get an old laptop and set it up as an IMAP-server. But that's not what you were asking for. :) [02:44] My email is Pop3 how would i configure it to IMAP? call my ISP/email provider? [02:44] nathanhelp: it is labeled ntfs-config and is located under the ntfs-3g [02:45] nathanhelp: Well you would have the old laptop fetch it from your isp and provide the imap to your local machines.

[02:45] yes it is there [02:45] Enable/disable write support for any NTFS devices [02:45] This program allow you to easily configure all of your NTFS devices [02:45] to allow write support via a friendly gui.

[02:46] Well some say it can write to NTFS for win2k and Xp just fine but sometimes it breaks when writing to Vista or Win7 [02:46] Out_Cold: Still displays flash content without me clicking on any sort of button, also still crashing =/ [02:47] nathanhelp: I had datacorruption when copying a large file (>2G) FROM an ntfs-partition to an ext3 partition using the fuse driver. But that's about a year ago. [02:47] kao, it's installed? [02:47] Vista and Win7 are irrelevant to my situation, so i will log that for when I need it. :) [02:47] Out_Cold:yes [02:47] then make sure it's enabled in the plug-ins in the browser it's self [02:47] nathanhelp: it is more or less to give the ability to copy from NTFS over to Native but still has the possiblilty of data corruption [02:47] phirestalker: something like this? find /var/lib/dpkg/info/ -ls | awk '{print $8" " $9" "$10" "$11}' | sed -e 's/\/var\/lib\/dpkg\/info\///g' | sort [02:48] nathanhelp: What I would really recomend is to not store the data on an ntfs-partition if it's irreplacable.

I've tried several things but nothing works so I'm stuck with the awful resolution [02:50] Out_Cold:I have cycled enabling/disabling it 4 times and restarted firefox 6 times [02:51] nathanhelp, you should boot the live cd and use the partition tool (gparted) to resize and make what you need. [02:51] Wips: take a look at envyng [02:51] Gnea, is that the install date or the last accessed or executed date?

[02:59] hey guys.. new ubuntu user.. I am trying to install Java but synaptic is taking a reallllllllllllly long time [02:59] kao: There are tons and tons of pages with their own custom home-brew script to do that :). Best of luck :P [02:59] _2 if someone wants to access your comp using a key that is 'owned' by you, the computer won't allow them to access the file [02:59] <_2> laughyn1nj4 why can't you get grub installed ?

[03:01] NotSure: #kubuntu [03:01] hi all, i notice there is a kernel update. that's not something i shoult just do all willy-nilly is it? what should i check/read up on before deciding if i want it? [03:01] any ideas why my java download in synaptic is taking so long? [03:01] Hello all, I have an interesting problem. When I boot, the ubuntu splash shows and once the bar reaches the end, it goes to a command line login screen. after typing 'startx' it tell me my filesystem is read-only [03:02] LeeM1: java is big, 50- megs at least [03:02] Barridus: Unless you have drivers compiled yourself, or something done yourself that makes your programs dependent on the current kernel, it is very rarely the case that a kernel upgrade breaks anything [03:02] I'm scared. The Ubuntu site says to Sudo fdisk -1. But fdisk is a formatter! [03:02] but an hour and a half on dsl? [03:02] Meshezabeel: the reason you can't find your file with the "locate" command is because /etc/updatedb.conf is 'pruning' some of your files. Edit this file and it will work the way you want. [03:02] LeeM1, java is huge and your connection is slow [03:02] nathanhelp: sudo fdisk -l, just lists all the partitions [03:02] guys .. i want to do a md5 checksum on an iso .. how do i do this ? [03:02] WebcamWonder: So why does it need sudo? [03:02] Trenter, grub is easy to fix... if that's all you need to do. [03:02] macman: md5sum /path/to/file [03:02] nathanhelp: It needs the sudo permissions to read the partition table off the harddisk [03:02] macman ... i think it's md5sum /path/to/iso.iso [03:03] i want to try for ubuntu install like Gentoo Compile. [03:03] WebcamWonder, hmm, good point. i think i'm using wifi drivers (madwifi or something) that i compiled [03:03] "BlueEagle, ah depends on the permissions :) i get it" (c) mrpinky [03:03] webterror, why? just use gentoo then [03:03] howto work in ubuntu? [03:03] hey, i was mucking around with "/etc/sudoers" and now every time i try to sudo i get "nbingham is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported."... how to get it back :) [03:04] can a kernel update be undone? or is it a total pain in the rear? [03:04] mrpinky ... un-toy your sudoers file [03:04] lkj [03:04] laughyn1nj4, 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] Barridus: 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 so [03:05] mrpinky, man sudoers [03:05] can anyone think of why my filesystem is suddenly read-only, causing ubuntu to fail to boot? [03:05] hi all [03:05] no~ i don't like install from ubuntu install CD [03:05] hmm .. not sure if su or sudo had a daemon or not ... if so restarting may help [03:05] is there a command similar to ls -l that lists file sizes? [03:05] ls -h [03:05] enao1290: ls -s :) [03:05] What about ubuntu writing to Fat32? is that stable as well? [03:05] Gun_Smoke, okay :) [03:06] WebcamWonder, solid advice. i have no idea where to start. this is my first (potential) kernel update since i installed and caught up to the updates [03:06] any thoughts our there on partitioning for dual boot? [03:06] <_2> laughyn1nj4 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 maybe [03:06] Barridus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel [03:08] Barridus: 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] everytime I try to apt-get update I get this result. http://pastebin.com/d148bd853 [03:08] yea 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] >.< why does moving to Ubuntu require me to become a programmer? i dont understand half the things I read. [03:09] it's fun learning :D this is my 3rd hour on ubuntu lol [03:09] if i am required to add a to a command, how do i make it just apear as STDOUT? [03:09] natanhelp: i'm a programmer and i'm getting somewhere with linux...but not very fast. :-D [03:09] <_2> nathanhelp why does installing M$ windows require you to accept the EULA you don't understand those things either [03:09] still kinda ticked that my downloads are so slow in syntapic tho [03:09] nathanhelp, for example [03:09] laughyn1nj4: I'm not a programmer and I am getting a headache. _2 Who reads teh EULA? [03:09] hey! does anybodu here uses avant-windw-navigator? [03:09] laughyn1nj4, it is a good idea to mount /home to a diff partition - though yo udont have to. [03:09] nathanhelp, i'm programer :) [03:09] nathanhelp and laughynj4: It will grow on you [03:10] hello. Can someone help me install the compiz cube in kubuntu 8.0.4? [03:10] I hope so. [03:10] and allow you to be more in tune with the OS [03:10] nathanhelp, i know what you mean, but it's a learning process... keep at it. [03:10] bruwstout ... it's growing ! [03:10] i can't kill the gnome-panel is there any option in AWN that does the job? [03:10] <_2> nathanhelp 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] laughyn1nj4: Keeps your data safe/intact over OS re-installs [03:10] hey can ubuntu mount osx formated partitions [03:10] it's the WHY i'm after, i've heard enough of the WHAT [03:10] I'm in the same boat ... almost need my engineering background to keep up [03:10] !ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:10] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [03:10] _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] <_2> laughyn1nj4 because you can reinstall without loosing data [03:10] rodolfo, there is a cmd to kill the gnome panels [03:11] does ubuntu work on laptops? [03:11] On0bi_: Yes [03:11] laughyn1nj4, it's mainly to keep it apart, it's from the old days really... it's not need if yo have a huge HD [03:11] this assumes that all data is under /home. [03:11] Quick question: Has anyone tried or knows how to get emerald working a virtual machine? [03:11] and what is this command? [03:11] ubuntu works great on laptops [03:11] WebcamWonder: well? or is it unstable? [03:11] laughyn1nj4, it's from when you might have had home on one hd and the other sys files on a diff hd. [03:11] <_2> laughyn1nj4 most of it will be [03:11] some of my data (multimedia actually) is in my samba shares which are not under home [03:11] _2 I would say that 99% of MS users are liars according to your statement :D [03:11] actuall MOST of the data is in the samba shares [03:12] orbstra, yes, it can read osx.

[03:12] WebcamWonder, 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 works [03:12] On0bi_: 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 supported [03:12] <_2> nathanhelp i was an M$ user until i actually read an EULA [03:12] so perhaps my samba shares should be on a separate partition. NOW i get it ! ;-) [03:12] hey, 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] is there anybody here who can give some step-by-step tips to install compiz cube? [03:12] laughyn1nj4, all your 'my docs' is under /home [03:12] install compizconfig-setting-manager [03:12] then open and go into options [03:12] bruwstout was that for me? [03:12] <_2> laughyn1nj4 so you asked for suggestions, i gave you one. [03:12] and if in nautilus, you hit ctrl-h you'll see hidden files. it's rally just like yer my docs in winders [03:13] so 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 ssh [03:13] thief` and what is this command? [03:13] WebcamWonder, i did work with a nvidia board previously, and my experiences then matched yours [03:13] Barridus: Intel drivers are nice, they work. They aren't a proprietary blob like nVidia. You won't loose them over kernel upgrades :) [03:13] RedSox: try this site Forlong's Blog - I'm trying to comprehend the things I write [03:13] haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [03:13] yes [03:13] i've beel looking.. can you turn on and off showing when people log in and out?

[03:14] filesystem [03:14] LeeM1: I think there was a plugin to do that, but I don't remember. #pidgin would be a better source [03:14] LeeM1: You can in WinXP pidgin. but im not sure where in Ubuntu [03:14] like one called ntfs-g that reads windows. [03:14] there'd be one for mac - if it's needed. [03:14] oh i got ya thief` [03:14] thnx bud [03:14] RedSox: It is almost at the middle of the page about configure compiz-- but a good guide as well as some good links -- [03:15] i've been using linux since november - and look at what i know now? [03:15] ok redvamp128 tysm [03:15] haha [03:15] see, you can learn. [03:15] a lot of reading - that's what's needed. [03:15] I need to install the lzo2 development library. Any suggestions? [03:15] and time. [03:15] so 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] thief`: 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 :D [03:15] nathanhelp: I am not sure if samba will default let you write to ntfs-- but does not hurt to have both installed [03:15] <_2> so does anyone know why ssh would check permission of $HOME before deciding whether or not to use public keys form $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys ? [03:16] what i need to do is replace a windows domain controller with a ubuntu comp, will samba have this ability? [03:16] 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] _2: don't you think that makes sense? [03:16] MethinX: what kind of window domain controller? [03:16] everytime I try to apt-get update I get this result. http://pastebin.com/d148bd853 [03:16] nt, 2k ,r 2k3 [03:16] <_2> jrib no not at all [03:16] windows server 2003 [03:16] <_2> why should it / [03:16] <_2> ? [03:17] MethinX, huge corps. use linux for that. so yes. but i don't know how. [03:17] MethinX: i think i depends on what features you use in your win2k3 domain controller [03:17] im not really skilled in the subject [03:17] but last time i checked samba server could replace a nt4 domain controller [03:17] but that was some time ago [03:17] tomodachi, that is true [03:17] HilBilly [03:17] <_2> jrib 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] jsut not the active directory server [03:18] Steven_M, your keys are bad. [03:18] del them. [03:18] ok thanks [03:18] ahem rm them [03:18] or use synaptic, there is options in there to screw with the keys. [03:18] type sudo synaptic [03:18] wouldnt it be rm -rf [03:18] thief`: gksu for graphical please :) [03:18] how do i make a sym link to folders in a folder but not the main folder? [03:19] what really does that do? i've done both... [03:19] heh [03:19] <_2> jrib or said another way, it makes about as much sense to me as it checking the perms on / would. [03:19] !gksu | thief` [03:19] thief`: 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] How would I disable having to have permission to write a file? [03:19] hmmm [03:19] Brohana:use windows [03:19] Brohana, change the permissions to 777 [03:20] 777 is full control. [03:20] Alright [03:20] 555 is read and execute isn't it? [03:20] thief`: what would cause that, I didn't do anything to them? [03:21] chmod 555 filename? [03:21] I am trying to install the lzo2 development library but am not sure how to proceed. Any suggestions? [03:21] thief`: yes it is [03:21] WebcamWonder, when i do that, i get this every time... i do'nt think it's a problem really, but what do you tink? [03:21] (gedit:7025): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme directory scalable/animations/small/22x22 of theme default.kde4 has no size field [03:21] hi, i accidentally removed my "admin" group membership, so i booted into recovery mode and root console, then i used "adduser nbingham admin" to get my admin back, and i check that it is correcly applied with "id nbingham". but when i restart, i have different group memberships (not including admin). any clues? :( [03:21] thief`, read up about on permission numbers... keep yourself as a 6 or 7 and change the rest to 5,6 or 7 [03:21] hey, 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] thief` could you tell me what command makes gnome-panel disappear please? [03:21] yeah, i know what ya mean Out_Cold [03:21] hmm Taladan maybe salesforce.com is something? [03:21] thief`: That is just a theme icon mismatch. It is fine [03:21] Taladan, webERP (small and nice) or Compiere (bloated) [03:21] i don't really screw with perms. just for me trusty pr0n dir. [03:21] haha [03:21] havent looked on crm systems for quite some time .. [03:22] * Taladan looks [03:22] yeah, thought so... dumb error ( i have an eee so my fonts / icons are tiny) [03:22] my local systems can't access the Internet after shorewall clear. and restart. how to fix that? before that everything ok. [03:22] I've looked at nolapro a bit, and it's nice, but I want to 'shop around' as it were [03:22] that's one dir i keep private 700, thief [03:22] hahah [03:22] yep. [03:22] thief`, 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 comp [03:22] cmon i don't want to reinstall ubuntu just because i can't get my admin membership back :( please help me :) [03:22] that is the folder i encrypt [03:23] 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] TrueCrypt with triple cascading cipher FTW! [03:23] Out_Cold, my /pr0n is hidden as well. just in case lil nephew comes along and finds nautilus... hahah [03:23] I have installed the compiz but the cube wont work. Can someone please help me? [03:23] mrpinky: you deleted admin group? [03:24] hi [03:24] therootest: how does it not work? [03:24] our just removed user from membership? [03:24] Where are the default GDMs (log in screens) stored? [03:24] mrpinky, why do you think you lost admin? [03:24] yea like i said, one user, who cares.. [03:24] mrpinky: live cd and edit it? [03:24] ok 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] therootest: have you installed compizconfig settings manager? [03:24] therootest: your need to enable the cube there [03:24] i'd think losing root would be hard to do. [03:24] tomodachi: i have everything installed from adept. Then i open CCSM and choose the cube and the rotating cube effects. === Munchkinguy_ is now known as Munchkinguy [03:24] hi@all [03:25] nathanhelp: You would have to compile the entire driver yourself. Compiling is a pain, and most of the time dependency hell [03:25] thief` because when i do "id" it doesn't include admin :( [03:25] tomodachi: and then it just doesnt do anything! [03:25] .. guys i tried to do a md5sum on a iso and it said : No such file or directory .. any ideas ? [03:25] ghostdog21: this is one of the most active channels in all of irc [03:25] there are several cube plugins maybe youre using the wrong one? or you dont have any keys assigned to the action [03:25] sorry, but i've a problem anyone time 4 helping me?! [03:25] zumz, 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] mrpinky: go into recovery and edit /etc/group [03:25] macman: maybe put the right path to the file? ;) [03:25] WebcamWonder: 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] <_2> octal permission structure each three digit base two number is represented as rwx = 111_2 = 7_8 and the three digit (actually four digit) octal permission is (special)(owner)(group)(world) normally the first digit is not mentioned = 0 0755 normal dir perms default 0644 normal file perms default for data 0755 normal file perms default for executables [03:25] i was in teh same directory Spreadsheet [03:25] macman: do you have md5sum installed? md5sum --version [03:26] what is the name of the ISO [03:26] yes [03:26] mrpinky: add your username after admin:x:: [03:26] well wasnt it sudoers file you edited before? [03:26] hm [03:26] then try again...you proly typed thge path wrong [03:26] laughyn1nj4 its version 3 [03:26] hey everytime i'm playing music with listen it freezes and i dont know y [03:26] nathanhelp: Sure. The source, is the source code itself (what developers write). It is then compiled (machine code - something computers can read/understand) into a binary [03:26] 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 happens [03:27] Where are the default GDMs stored? [03:27] nathanhelp: Binaries are highly platform dependent (so, a binary for a 32bit OS will mostof the time not work with 64 bit OS) [03:27] TheEdge_: what is ctrl m supposed to do? [03:27] WebcamWonder: so a binary file are the ones i want to download? [03:27] hey how do I unmount the USB drive i just mounted in ubuntu linux thruogh CLI [03:27] no good [03:27] Taladan, 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 concerned [03:27] orbstra: sudo umount /medaia/nameofyourdevice [03:27] mrpinky, what does it say your uid is? [03:27] binary for the Ubuntu x86 platform? [03:27] macman: $ ls [03:27] <_2> TheFunkbomb /etc/gdm/ [03:27] nathanhelp: In order to solve the pain that is caused by compiling (trust me it is a pain if things don't work out properly), Ubuntu gives many many softwares as binaries tailored to your OS [03:27] thief`, "id" says uid=1000 [03:28] _2, that makes sense [03:28] tomodachi: it should send you to the DVD menu [03:28] the 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] mrpinky, i'm no expert but i believe 1000 is root [03:28] TheEdge_: open it in terminal [03:28] tomodachi: 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] my uid is 1000 [03:28] awesome name by the way. It's really you [03:28] and see what the std out logging says [03:28] mrpinky, i believe 1000 is the first user created at install. [03:28] nathanhelp: Yes, but it is much more preffered that you get the packages from Ubuntu repositories since they have been tested by many many peopl [03:28] thief`: root is either 0 [03:28] <_2> thief` uid = 0 is superuser [03:28] er, without the either [03:28] thief`, that would make sense, i only have one account, which i created at install. [03:28] tomodachi: Mplayer ?? [03:29] TheEdge_: yes [03:29] mrpinky, ok, then type sudo id [03:29] open a terminal [03:29] WebcamWonder: Ok. I have no ntfs-3g in my accessible list. Restricted is enabled. what else can i do to access them? [03:29] mrpinky: I'm not sure then dude...afaik that's the file that determines group membership [03:29] then open gmplayer from there [03:29] nathanhelp: What version of ubuntu are you runnning? [03:29] tomodachi: who do i do that.. only been using Linux/ubuntu for 2 days now [03:29] WebcamWonder: 8.10 [03:29] <_2> thief` uid = 1000 ~ ? is the normal user range, as specified in some config in /etc [03:29] thief`, "sudo id" tells me "nbingham is not in the sudoers file", which also makes sense, because i don't seem to have "admin" group membership [03:29] need some help [03:30] WebcamWonder: Gnome. [03:30] i think i need a synchronizing program or something [03:30] the 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? [03:30] TheEdge_: applications -accessories - terminal [03:30] nathanhelp: You should have ntfs-3g :S [03:30] mrpinky, hmm, i see what you mean now. [03:30] TheEdge_: locate gmplayer with [03:30] !info ntfs-3g [03:30] WebcamWonder: I know i should have them but i dont. Or am looking in the wrong place. [03:30] whereis gmplayer [03:30] ntfs-3g (source: ntfs-3g): read-write NTFS driver for FUSE. In component main, is standard. Version 1:1.2506-1ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 28 kB, installed size 132 kB [03:30] then type the path [03:30] thief`, i can edit /etc/groups or memberships by restarting into recovery console. but the changes i make don't seem to persist when i restart :( [03:31] mrpinky: are you logged in as root when you do them? [03:31] tomodachi: the compiz i runned in terminal as root showed: [03:31] Couldn't find a perfect decorator match; trying all decorators [03:31] Starting kde-window-decorator [03:31] tomodachi, he can't get root. [03:31] mrpinky: try rebuilding your user account in recovery and add that new account to sudoers? [03:31] tomodachi: i know :) but how do i start mplayer via terminal [03:31] tomodachi, yes i restart in recovery console and choose the "root prompt" option [03:31] tomodachi, "sudo id" tells me "nbingham is not in the sudoers file" - he said. [03:31] thief`: ok [03:31] what if it says the file is in use that I am trying to eject tomodachi [03:31] well if he starts in recovery he should be root [03:31] WebcamWonder: 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. [03:32] <_2> mrpinky just restart into recovery mode and use the command useradd man useradd for details [03:32] orbstra: then you have something open using it close your apps terminals etc [03:32] The_Rebel, type totem in the terminal - works great. [03:32] thanks for the tip thief` [03:32] orbstra: you can se whats using it with lsof in terminal [03:32] I'm trying to install something. I altered the configs and tried to wipe it off my system so I could do a clean install of the package but it doesn't restore configs.... [03:32] tomodachi : I am doing it thruogh cli [03:32] orbstra: you might have to grep it [03:32] sorry, that was supposed to be to TheEdge_ [03:32] haha [03:32] _2, i have done that, and it adds, and i see the admin group when i "id" that account, then when i restart that group is gone :( [03:32] the folder is /mnt/usb so I am doing lsof | grep usb [03:32] nathanhelp: Synaptic and the terminal read one and the same list, there is no difference. I haven't worked with Intrepid, but on hardy, they do show up as an extra package. I presuem they are now directly integrated into the kernel somehow [03:32] Anybody familiar with the nvidia geforce fx 5600 [03:33] and a bunch of things are using it tomodachi how do I close them [03:33] orbstra: you can always do sud umount -l [03:33] thief: thanks :) [03:33] do to a lazy unmount [03:33] to do === dzup is now known as dzup-beback [03:33] what would that do tomodachi [03:33] orbstra: if you cant find them apps kill them [03:33] unless there are other ideas, i will back up my home directory and try to delete/recreate the user account from root console :( back later [03:33] TheEdge_, i installed vlc, but i don't use it cause i don't need to cause totem works well ( for movies) [03:33] mrpinky: that's what I would do [03:33] helo [03:34] thief`: totem sucks [03:34] Taladan, okay, thanks :) [03:34] tomodachi, but it works. [03:34] thief`: but if youre happy then use it [03:34] :) [03:34] <_2> mrpinky should work. drastic but affective [03:34] isn't there a sudoers list? apart from /etc/groups? [03:34] tomodachi, i know what you mean though. [03:34] thief`: unsexy girls also work , but you want sexy ones right?! [03:34] tomodachi, do you meean the qual of video sucks? or what about it that sucks? [03:34] i am trying to kill the process I thnk are associated with the HD but they wont go away even after I kill their suspected pid [03:34] lol @ tomodachi [03:34] libdvdnav: Can't read name block. Probably not a DVD-ROM device. i can see this error in the terminal when try to play dvd [03:34] thief`: support for codecs [03:34] HELLO EVERYONE [03:34] etc [03:34] Out_Cold, there is /etc/sudoers, but my account is not there directly. /etc/sudoers gives the "admin" group sudo access, and my account should be in the "admin" group [03:34] is the pid the first 5 digit number from the left when you do lsof | grep usb [03:35] A buddy of mine has seen the light, and has agreed to let me install Ubuntu on his box. He want's to dual boot with XP Home Ed. His box is AFU, so I want to do a "bare metal" install on the drive. Are there any guides/Howtos on this? [03:35] usb being the folder associated with my mounetd HD [03:35] mrpinky: you should belong to the adm group under /etc/group [03:35] yea.. i remember doing something in there... [03:35] tomodachi, "adm" or "admin"? [03:35] mrpinky: lemme check [03:35] <_2> mrpinky admin [03:35] mrpinky: adm [03:35] <_2> iirc adm was the old way and admin is the new way [03:35] tomodachi, admin :) [03:35] yea adm [03:36] n2diy what i can tell you use ubuntu and the open source apps. and you will forget about windows [03:36] tie-breaker: admin [03:36] <_2> :) [03:36] _2: im using 8.10 , im in the group adm [03:36] jrib, nah, you're just piling on the good side [03:36] tomodachi: but that's not why you can sudo [03:36] tomodachi, i play a lot of xvid / divx and they work great... [03:36] <_2> tomodachi did you clean install or upgrade ? [03:36] h4x0r: 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] jrib: yes it is [03:36] tomodachi, do you mean screwy ones like mkv and ogg and crap? [03:37] how do i find out what my ubuntu version is? the about box doesn't appear to have it :( [03:37] tomodachi: read your /etc/sudoers [03:37] jrib: the adm group is in the sudoers file [03:37] !version [03:37] To 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 » [03:37] Quick question:, In general, can I expect more hardware to work better with 8.04 than with 8.10 ? [03:37] tomodachi, you shouldn't argue with jrib, he actually does development in ubuntu [03:37] <_2> tomodachi but did you clean install or upgrade ? [03:37] google it! you will find a nice tutorial [03:37] jrib: its called %admin in the sudoers file, i guess thats a variable or something not the exact name [03:37] _2: clean install [03:37] Hi [03:37] thief: libdvdnav: Can't read name block. Probably not a DVD-ROM device. is the error i get when i start a dvd [03:37] hi [03:37] Winxp cannot access ext3 filesystems correct? [03:37] <_2> jrib: its called %admin in the sudoers file <<<< see i told you so [03:37] tomodachi: it really is admin, that's the name of the group [03:37] nickrud: im not arguing im stating facts [03:38] h4x0r: thanks for the pointer. [03:38] if am not wrong even in youtube is a tutorial [03:38] *without problems. [03:38] n2diy, there are tons of guides on dual boot. http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=dual+boot+ubuntu+windows [03:38] tomodachi, 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 sudo [03:38] My friend just updated his Intrepid install and now there's no ubuntu kernels in grub. Is there a way to fix this from the livecd? [03:38] listed in grub* [03:38] <_2> tomodachi sudo test command. sudo echo boo [03:38] _2: u guys probably right [03:38] thief`: I don't need a guide on dual boot, I need a guide on bare metal installing. [03:38] Ahadiel, edit the menu.ls file... it's easy. and it's normal. [03:39] cant bother to check thnx for having the patience to correct me [03:39] does somebody try the new beta from ubuntu? [03:39] thief`, How is that normal? [03:39] !jaunty | h4x0r [03:39] n2diy, ok... what do you mean on bare metal installing? like linux from scratch? [03:39] h4x0r: Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [03:39] haha nickrud good test lol [03:39] Ahadiel, hah, sorry, i read that wrong. [03:39] you can edit the grub file though.. [03:39] ubottu i was just asking. why i cant ask? [03:39] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:39] Out_Cold, I've lost track of the tests like that I've created for myself, before I found irc to waste time on and occasionally get a question answered ;) [03:40] thief`, Well yeah... but what exactly do I put in it? [03:40] thief`: Sorta, start with an infected Win box, wipe the drive, MBR, etc..., and reinstall Win then Ubuntu. [03:40] yea... i waste more time just chatting in here than i do figuring out my system [03:40] n2diy, that's what i thought. it's easy (BUT do windows install first) a MUST. (for easiness.) [03:40] knowledge is to share, not to keep it, third rule in the black book [03:40] <_2> tomodachi 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] i managed to install the compiz fusion cube BUT there are only 2 sides on the cube. How can i make it 4 sided? [03:41] really, google it, it's everywehere. and it's a lot easier than you think. === lance_ is now known as Guest61626 [03:41] I'm trying to install something. I altered the configs and tried to wipe it off my system so I could do a clean install of the package but it doesn't restore configs.... Any ideas how I can do it? [03:41] h4x0r: This is not the channel to discuss Jaunty, please join #ubuntu+1 instead. [03:41] therootest, right click the desktop switcher, lower right corner and change the number [03:41] thief: libdvdnav: Can't read name block. Probably not a DVD-ROM device. is the error i get when i start a dvd === dzup-beback is now known as dzup [03:41] h4x0r, ubottu is a bot.... it's just responding to the ! commands. as for off topic stuff some ops are pretty anal about it.. [03:41] therootest, change the number of columns [03:41] pici i dont want to discuss jaunty i was just asking [03:42] thats all [03:42] thief`: roger on the Win first, what do I wipe the drive with, gpartd? Will that wipe out the MBR? [03:42] Ahadiel, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [03:42] no sound on ubuntu 8.04, 2.6.24-23-generic 00:1e.2 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) [03:42] any thoughts?

[03:43] hey, adding myself to "adm" allows me to use sudo again. yay. however, "id" does not appear to show my true group memberships, it did not change when i added myself to "adm" (or anything else). is it cached somewhere...?

[03:44] ha [03:44] does anyone know if it is possible to change the mirrors in the Ubuntu Mini ISO? I have been trying to install all day today and it is crawling and having problems downloading some of the packages. Even on my Fiber connection (10 MB up and down). [03:44] sound was turned down [03:44] therootest, it's under preferences [03:44] toshiba laptops and their wheels [03:44] nickrud: under preferences where? [03:45] is it safe/secure to have ports 80 and 23 open? [03:45] Is there a command to regenerate kernel images in /boot as well as menu.lst?

[03:45] n2diy, Ahadiel maybe both could benefit from this: i had to fix my boot sector once (windows attacked it) - i forget what i did exactly, but i google and read.... use a live ubuntu cd and you can use it to fix grub / booting. [03:45] hmm "usermod -g admin nbingham" doesn't appear to change my GID. after the command, "id" still shows "gid=1000(nbingham)" not "gid=XXXX(admin)"? [03:46] nickrud: you mean somewhere in the ccsm? [03:46] thief`, That doesn't really help much. [03:46] thief`, But thanks. [03:46] Ahadiel, it might.

Worked like a charm.. still abit grainy, but nothing i cant live with:D Thx a lot! [04:20] so how to solve the problem?

[04:23] it means give more info [04:24] ssh user@xx.xx.xx.xx ?? [04:24] <_2> os11 means you wont be able to access that system under the current conditions. something will have to change. 1. you get the new public key 2. the server is reset to accept password ident 3. you find an exploit and gain access the hard way [04:24] kazekagi_: no problem [04:24] :D [04:24] how to get new public key?

[04:25] i am not home now, my server is at home [04:26] <_2> what i can't understand is why ~/ permission disables public key access when ~/.ssh[.*] permission is unchanged. [04:26] The xorg.conf file on xubuntu 8.10 is no longer used to provide xorg server settings, its just a blank file.. But its using the default video driver rather than the i810 that it needs to use.. but i cant seem to find anyway to switch the driver sence the xorg.conf is an empty file [04:26] My computer needed to reboot after installing some updates, and now I get an Error 15: File not found [04:28] and im not comfortable enough with the xorg.conf to rewrite it toatlly from scratch, i've always just edited it when i needed to make changes to it [04:28] ravious: I just found the same problem [04:28] <_2> ravious add the info to the xorg.conf it still reads it, just doesn't depend on it === lance_ is now known as Guest88487 [04:28] ravious: where are you looking for xorg.conf.....cause it's definitely still in use [04:28] <_2> JesperHansen ^ too [04:28] strange that it wasn't there [04:28] /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:28] ravious, try Xorg -config [04:28] okay, good [04:28] ravious, or Xorg -configure [04:29] ravious, i forgot which, it'll create a basic setup in the current directory [04:29] usser: is that something that could be run from remote via ssh? [04:29] <_2> usser that breaks xorg for me. not sure it's good advice [04:29] ravious, yes sure [04:29] ravious: if usser's suggestion doesn't work, exit the x-server and use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:29] that should generate an xorg.conf which you can then configure if need be [04:29] I know I should ask this in the alsa channel, but I already did...with no response [04:29] foxwoods: leaves the file blank as well [04:29] _2, i just did it, that was on a clean headless install though with xorg just installed [04:30] http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/pool/main/g/gnome-alsamixer/gnome-alsamixer_0.9.7~cvs.20060916.ds.1-2_amd64.deb can I dl this alsamixer...or do I have to have a special kernel first?

[04:32] JesperHansen: I'm a gamer, so having just ubuntu is not an option :P I still spend most of my time in windows [04:32] <_2> usser also same on an ati lappy [04:32] khmer42: get it's ip / host address and use ssh [04:33] <_2> usser also same on an ati lappy err debian lenny close relative to ubuntu 8.10 [04:33] foxwoods: thanks [04:33] khmer42: np [04:33] khmer42 wich way you want to communicate [04:33] foxwoods: I went down in a store and actually bought windows vista for my gamer computer as I got pissed with the poor wine/cedega performance and low graphical details :P [04:33] anyone got any suggestion for laptop power managment in gnome to extend battery life, other than the default applet that is.? [04:33] <_2> usser the "official" ubuntu methood is to use dpkg-reconfigure on it. just an FYI [04:34] JesperHansen: no kidding....plus I'm also into 3d graphics, and running zbrush, 3ds max, etc. is not an option in linux yet [04:34] well, not unless I purchase their especial linux versions, which I'm in no way doing [04:34] when will jaunty be released [04:34] who want to help me with remote desktop ? [04:34] h4x0r: I just want the most simple way to get command line access, preferably with tools that exist within a standard install. [04:34] Question for anyone. Can I create a bootable usb startup disk in ubuntu of ubuntu 8.10 server? [04:35] <_2> BenSmith sure [04:35] does any one know when the new ubuntu will be released jaunty [04:35] BenSmith: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick if you mean a usb key [04:35] who want to help me with remote desktop ? [04:35] is so many ways , from terminal or graphical, [04:35] BenSmith: if you mean a regular hard drive, what prevents you from using the regular server CD? [04:35] grafical [04:35] <_2> BenSmith you can use any of several boot loaders for that grub2 lilo grub syslinux (probably more) [04:35] I'm getting an Error 15: File Not Found when I try to boot, how do I tell grub where to look for my boot partition? [04:36] ok [04:36] BenSmith: just as long as when you install, you specify the right device for grub to install to, it should work fine [04:36] h4x0r: Terminal is what I'm looking for really. This is the problem there seems to be many ways, just looking for most straight forward to I don't need to mess around too much with each machine I will be remoting in to. [04:36] foxwoods: I'm sorry i'm extremely new at this. Grub? [04:37] <_2> merrnt grub prompt: root (hd?,#) [04:37] anyone got any suggestion for laptop power managment in gnome to extend battery life, other than the default applet that is.? [04:37] just type that with the correct hd(0,1) ? [04:37] <_2> merrnt use the tab key in the grub prompt [04:37] Alrighty [04:37] BenSmith: I've never installed the server edition, but when you install ubuntu desktop, at the very end before the final install commit, there's an 'advanced' option [04:37] Question: i've found that by setting a couple iwconfig settings, my wireless connection is FAR more stable (rate auto and txpower auto), how do I store this to be used automatically in future? [04:37] <_2> merrnt syntax error hd(0,1) [04:38] <_2> merrnt (hd0,1) [04:38] k [04:38] BenSmith: if you click that, you'll see it asks which device to install grub to (grub is the program that boots your linux kernel) [04:38] foxwoods: I am having a strange problem. When I move slowly with my mouse, then it lags. It doesn't move before I have moved with it with 10px on the screen. If I move it fast, then it still moves with 10px, but faster so I cant see it lags... glxgear is still 600fps, so its not OS lag, but only mouse lag. Heavily. [04:38] giving it a shot, thanks _2 ! [04:38] What all should I check to find out why ssh and apache can't be reached from the internet? Seems Ubuntu has something called AppArmor, could that be doing it and how would I check? [04:39] BenSmith: do a fdisk -l in a terminal window to see which drive is the one you want to install to, then type that (i.e. /dev/sdb) into that device to install to box [04:39] h4x0r: ssh is cool, but don't I need to install openssh-server on each machine? === tweak is now known as Guest67485 [04:39] BenSmith: Note: Since I haven't worked with ubuntu server, this is all at your own risk...... [04:39] <_2> khmer42 or "ssh" which is a meta package that depends on both server and client [04:39] khmer42, only on the machine(s) you are connecting to. [04:39] foxwoods: awesome. Thanks [04:40] Question: Has anyone here tried/knows something specific about the Everex AMD gPC which comes with Ubuntu preloaded? Is it a good deal for 200, or is it something best avoided? [04:40] hello I'm trying to setup cron to run a script every 2 hours 3 minutes can someone tell me if this is right? */123 * * * * /home/user/ perl e.pl -u -p -d === [pErry] is now known as [perry] === Guest67485 is now known as Tweak66 [04:40] <_2> khmer42 and yes all boxen in a dmz should have package "ssh" installed imo === anil is now known as Guest26072 [04:40] JesperHansen: I'm on kubuntu (installing ubuntu-desktop as we speak.....) but you should be able to go into your system settings and the mouse section should have some options like pointer acceleration [04:40] try increasing that [04:41] <_2> evilGUI not for /etc/crontab maybe for anacron personal crontabs. [04:42] I used crontab -e [04:42] <_2> evilGUI the /home/user/ would fail unless i'm missing something [04:42] anyone got any suggestion for laptop power managment in gnome to extend battery life, other than the default applet that is.? [04:43] _2: It would fail becuase it's not my real user right? [04:43] foxwoods: it decreased the lag to 5px on the lowest possible setting :P [04:43] spill the default is the best . [04:44] JesperHansen: lowest possible setting? shouldn't you try getting it to the highest setting? also what mouse is this? [04:44] foxwoods: I'm reading the directions from the link you provided. I can't find the device name it was assigned. [04:44] h4x0r: what about cpu throttling? [04:44] anyone know how to save iwconfig settings? [04:45] <_2> evilGUI no because it's not any user. it's a path [04:45] BenSmith: which part of those instructions are you following, manual?

[04:46] Anyone? [04:46] foxwoods: acceleration is slow and threshold is low. Anywhere higher makes the lag between mouse updates even higher [04:46] <_2> bbs then i would reccomend either an LTS version of ubuntu or debian. [04:46] _2: LTS [04:46] i'm a programmer mind you [04:46] <_2> bbs long term support [04:46] JesperHansen: acceleration higher increases lag? [04:47] _2: no i don't need that [04:47] blizzardman1219\, you dont usually mount the entire disk, which seems from your command is what you're trying to do [04:47] JesperHansen: and what mouse is this?

After the updates I installed today, I have no sound coming from any of the jacks on my sound card (Creative Audigy 2 ZS). The front headphone jack works, however. I searched around the mixer looking for something that was muted and came up empty handed. I'm running 8.10, ALSA drivers (pulse doesn't change anything). Anyone have a similar issue and could point me in the direction of a fix? Thanks! :) [04:52] usser: it has no partitons [04:53] BenSmith: Did you type "sudo fdisk -l"?

[05:04] saranya: did you type sudo apt-get install ruby (and tabbing with auto-complete to make sure that you're installing a real package?) [05:04] foxwoods: even tried. Laggy as well. But I am looking at the mouse module. Cant determine the right module tho. [05:04] JesperHansen: yeah, I wouldn't know which it would be, but two possibilities to fix: one is to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg in case that somehow screwed up your mouse [05:04] saranya: did you also sudo apt-get update ? [05:04] * _2 worries about infonodes that explain how to recover data like this "methods that might work is some cases are described at at" <<< "methoods" plural, "is" singular, "at at" duplicated without cause.... [05:05] JesperHansen: other possibility: see if you can find the default mouse module for your previous kernel [05:05] ¾È³çÇϼ¼¿ä^^* [05:05] * _2 also notes that "is" was a typo for "in" in the origenal. [05:05] JesperHansen: or if you still have that old kernel, you can boot into it and try an lsmod [05:05] foxwoods: My system is connected in Internet so it take all the packages from that I think [05:05] foxwoods: maybe. I see that uhci_hcd is the usb mouse. [05:05] foxwoods: the old kernel is unavailable [05:06] foxwoods: I just used System>Administration>Create a USB Startup Disk [05:06] foxwoods: not ext4 supported :) [05:06] saranya: yeah but the thing that lists the packages needs to update itself fro mtime to time [05:06] JesperHansen: you should still be able to install it, no?

[05:34] spill: thats prolly not possible to lock out sudo [05:34] WIGGMPk: try reinstalling grub [05:34] spill: just limit the sudo users and dont give your password out [05:34] foxwoods: ok i have downloaded and installed the matching nvidia driver... rebooting now [05:35] foxwoods: im using gfxboot [05:35] WIGGMPk: that's your problem [05:35] <_2> ah. [05:35] foxwoods: I knew it... sorry for neglecting that info [05:35] WIGGMPk: is there a way to make a dansguardian group, so that accounts can still use sudo just not turn off dansguardian? [05:35] <_2> WIGGMPk maybe sudo mv `which update-grub` . ;sudo dpkg --configure -a [05:36] WIGGMPk: unfortunately.....you'll probably have to roll your own kernel....if _2 can't help [05:36] _2: 'which update-grub' could you explain? [05:36] <_2> WIGGMPk just copy paste it to the terminal [05:36] spill: you can make a group that can edit dansguardian yes.. but if they have access to sudo that whats stopping them from adding themselves to the group [05:37] how can i uninstall all xfce from ubuntu ?? === Mike-| is now known as Kauwgom [05:37] i install it from repo just for check it [05:37] _2: i love you [05:37] hellhound_: you just ran the file from the download, right?

[05:37] tof: install the package xubuntu-desktop [05:38] _2: can you walk me thru what just happend with that? everything installed fine no errors [05:38] ok ubuntu server keeps having a kernel panic when i do "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" to get my internet connection up [05:38] <_2> WIGGMPk sudo mv `which update-grub` . ;sudo dpkg --configure -a # the which command will find the exact path to the update-grub script the entire command will move the update-grub script out of your path into your pwd surely the rest is self explainitory. [05:38] tof: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [05:38] WIGGMPk: hmm. man I have accounts that I need to be able to admin, but not turn off dansguaridan. theres no way aroudn that is there? [05:38] _2: that is awesome.... [05:38] blizzardman1219\: anything in that last dmesg? [05:38] fresh boot all 3 times JesperHansen [05:38] <_2> WIGGMPk welcome. [05:39] foxwoods: no errors on the install but on reboot it will not go to X it just sits at "checking battery state" from the boot up process [05:39] spill: virtual machine.. put the content filter or entire proxy on a seperate box [05:39] _2: thank you for the explanation as well.. I really appreciate it [05:39] WIGGMPk: well, this is my laptop? [05:39] <_2> WIGGMPk you should probably run sudo apt-get install -f # just to make sure the package database is sain. [05:39] <_2> sane [05:39] anyone know why i can't get DCC to work at all? default settings.. using Konversation... Ubuntu 8.1 [05:40] <_2> saighn [05:40] WIGGMPk: I use it at work as well.

What is the difference? [05:40] spill: im confused.. you run a content filter on your laptop? [05:40] spill: 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? [05:41] hellhound_: when you boot, edit the boot command line and get rid of quiet splash on the second and fourth line [05:41] _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] <_2> foxwoods 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. [05:42] _2: why would you remove update-grub? [05:42] _2: that was a nice fix [05:42] Flannel: because WIGGMPk is using fgxboot [05:42] gfxboot* [05:43] <_2> WIGGMPk best way "imo" is to use the package manager. apt-get remove linux-image-$VERSION_HERE [05:43] what are the advantages of networkmanager over wicd? i just installed wicd and I like the interface better [05:43] spill: 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] foxwoods: And he wants to not boot to a newer kernel? or what? [05:44] 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..."

[05:46] I love DeVeDe [05:46] <_2> Finnish the download is to /var/cache/apt/archives/ the installation can be traced via this command: dpkg -L $packagename [05:47] Flannel: given that grub isn't truly there, it's not surprising update-grub fails [05:47] _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 auto [05:47] foxwoods: Erm, what? [05:47] DeVeDe is nice. I also like DVDStyler (mainly for putting home videos on DVD) [05:47] Flannel: similar problem here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/297167 [05:47] can someone help me get my wireless card working under ubuntu server?

[05:50] WIGGMPk: What are you trying to accomplish? [05:50] <_2> JesperHansen not unless the ubuntu packagers/developers changed it. grub2 uses /boot/grub/grub.cfg [05:50] its complicated, can I take this to a private chat? [05:50] WIGGMPk, I think Apps > Add/ Dell is usefull for that [05:50] How do I "comment out" something in script?

[07:15] Why 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 [07:16] _2: can we measure the performance of our filesystem? to know whether the fragmentation level is still ok [07:16] <_2> ari_stress yes indeed fsck -f the thing [07:17] ext4 is only available on alternative cd atm. for 9.04, right? [07:17] <_2> ari_stress the highest i have ever seen yet is .5% non-contiguous [07:17] JesperHansen: better don't use ext4 yet, i read a bug of data loss [07:17] ari_stress: screw data loss [07:17] Hey everyone [07:17] WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause [07:17] SEVERE filesystem damage. [07:17] whats shaking [07:18] Firefox hang is only ½ sec now against ext3 hang is 10sec [07:18] I have a problem with my wireless at the moment [07:18] I can get Ubuntu to recognize the card is there but It wont let me connect to any of the networks it displays [07:18] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/ [07:18] any reason this doesnt work? [07:18] <_2> jedi3 whole lot of shakin' goin' on. [07:19] Scubidus: lspci -k which driver you using? sudo lshw -C network [07:19] noot much, bored cant sleep. realized its time to get ubuntu installed on machine [07:19] however no cds just dvds [07:19] Scubidus: has it ever worked or just stopped working recently? [07:19] not really other than it only worked for me after I patched it [07:19] stopped working when I had to format the drive [07:19] Scubidus: sudo iwconfig does it show any wireless devices with wireless extentions? [07:19] and reinstalled ubuntu [07:20] Scubidus: it could be as simple as sudo apt-get install linux-kernel-modules [07:20] yea I can't even get a wired at the moment [07:20] <_2> jedi3 maybe because that is /dvd/current ? [07:20] yeah im looking for the dvd image [07:20] I'm goin to try to find my boxes real quick [07:20] <_2> oh i misread [07:20] maybe I can get a hardwire in here [07:20] hold up [07:20] ahah I fail hard at typing [07:20] _2: so, ext3 defrags itself on random time? can we see it in action? [07:21] ari_stress - only w an electron microscope.. ? [07:21] I thought it does that through the journalling [07:21] and every fsck routine [07:21] need some help with this: find -E . -type d -iregex "./[^/]*/S(eason|eries)[[:space:]]+[0-9]+" I get the error find: unknown predicate `-E' please help me resolve it [07:21] <_2> ari_stress that i can't say, there may be a process in /proc that one could watch, not really sure. [07:22] lodder_: there's no -E in find. Where'd you get that? [07:22] syockit: I find it on a web page [07:23] syockit: can you help me use the correct line for this to work [07:23] lodder - taking away -E does what? [07:23] can you tell the site? maybe it's for another shell [07:24] mindrape: get no output [07:24] mindrape: that didn't fix my problem :-( [07:24] <_2> also you might want to use single quotes [07:24] i can't irc from my windows desktop at work because the firewall blocks it, but i can if i ssh to my linux server. is there any way i can somehow get my windows irc client to use ssh to my linux to let me irc? [07:24] Ill brb going to boot my Linux partition up and try [07:24] lodder_ - hold, lemme make some Season 1-9 and Seires 1-5 directories real fast... [07:25] mindrape: ok [07:25] My filesystem has gone readonly.. anybody has any ideas? [07:25] have tried using badblocks, ext2fsck .. no avail [07:26] mindrape: in fact, I thought it did work because I didn't have any problems for a few seconds. Then the font became unreadable again. To set-up my dual screen, I use: xrandr --verbose --fb 1680x1850 --output TMDS-1 --auto --output LVDS --auto --below TMDS-1 [07:27] <_2> also why does cat proc mounts list things mounted multiple times ? http://pastebin.com/f5e43316b [07:27] <_2> and why is device_mapper module not in the ubuntu kernels or why is lilo still looking for it ??? http://pastebin.com/f302d497d [07:29] <_2> and anyone know why permission on a users home dir would affect ssh ? [07:33] The second scatters files all over the disk so there's plenty of free space if the file's size changes. It can also re-arrange files on-the-fly, since it has plenty of empty space to shuffle around. Very nice ext3 :) [07:33] <_2> ari_stress yep [07:33] on-the-fly... nice to believe, hope so [07:34] <_2> if you don't believe it, then we'll get you a magic feather that will help you fly... [07:34] Why 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. [07:35] :) i just wish that we can "watch" the show when it does that [07:35] alright I got a hard line [07:35] <_2> bullgard4 because some daemon is calling it. [07:35] i am a beginner in shell scripting can anyone tell me which will be the best book to start [07:35] <_2> bullgard4 if it runs long enough you can catch it with pstree [07:35] <_2> dinesh372 man bash [07:36] mindrape: can you still help me [07:36] Why do people use Emacs and VIM? Why not use netbeans or some other ide? [07:36] dinesh372: join #bash [07:36] <_2> dinesh372 and remember that anything done on the command line can be put in a script. and some things that cant. [07:36] can someone help me out with my wireless card [07:37] lodder_ were you looking for directories? find . -type d -iregex '.*\/Season.*[0-9]' that part should work... lemme try to figure out the Series part... [07:37] oliver_: they want to be more efficient probably... [07:37] oliver_: I use eclipse to do Java programming but emacs for texts I have to write (like articles). [07:37] oliver_: The opposite could be said also... try and avoid polls and "better than's" on this channel it always ends up a flame war [07:37] _2: actually i want to know any good book for learning shell scripting [07:37] mindrape: did you see that msttcorefont didn't solve my problem? [07:38] DamienCassou: yeah... dunno man. :( [07:38] Ok, so I have postfix installed...and it works fine...locally. It won't allow any outside clients (ie over the internet) on...it gives me a "cannot establish connection" error like the server's running on a different port or doesn't exist...even though I specified my IP address in mynetworks. Any ideas? [07:38] <_2> dinesh372 but learning the basics of bash the best place to start imo [07:38] I can get Ubuntu to recognize my card and even list the networks that are available to connect to when I go through [07:38] the manual configuration [07:38] mindrape: ok. Do you know where I can ask? [07:38] how is emacs and vim more effecient? [07:38] just wondering, not trying to start a flame war [07:38] <=== noob [07:38] oliver_: try them and see [07:39] oliver_ with about 8 keystrokes you can get more done in either of those than any bloated IDE. [07:39] <_2> does netbeans require a gui ? [07:39] I tried VIM [07:39] oliver_: lot of shortcuts to move your cursor. never have to use the mouse. You can easily open distant files or edit files as root... [07:39] dinesh372: check out two bash guides here http://tldp.org/guides.html [07:39] <_2> does netbeans require a gui ? [07:39] _2: actually i am unable to understand what u told me first time [07:39] _2, yeah [07:40] so emacs and vim are only good for shortcuts and not using mouse? [07:40] <_2> dinesh372 oh. the command man bash # opens the documentation for bash [07:40] there is no sound in my computer after i updated? any idea how to fix this problem? [07:40] !ot | oliver_ [07:40] oliver_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:40] inet_interfaces is all..... [07:40] ok sry [07:40] <_2> oliver_ that alone is enough reason to say vi.* emacs > netbeans [07:41] like i said, it works fine locally...telnet localhost 25...connects fine....but anywhere else...no go [07:41] haii [07:41] <_2> oliver_ neither of those need a gui [07:41] hi everyone, there is no sound in my computer after i updated? any idea how to fix this problem? [07:42] !repeat | pogztimz [07:42] pogztimz: 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 [07:42] _2: Is there an English word like 'hunter's luck'? I seem to have lost it. Now kondemand/0 is not running every few seconds any more, and I do not know why. It run very short then, anyway. So it seems I cannot use pstree for answering the question put. [07:42] <_2> oliver_ if you like gui IDE's maybe try kdevelop [07:43] <_2> bullgard4 lol yeah. called "^&#$^^#" but can't be pronounced in this channel :) [07:43] _2, http://geekblog.oneandoneis2.org/index.php/2008/11/13/fighting-fragmentation-on-linux says i must separate the partition for torrents for performance [07:44] _2: ok you want me to firstly learn about bash [07:44] <[kev]> hi, I have this program , gmail notifier for ubuntu -- how can i make it start automatically when i run ubuntu? [07:44] <_2> ari_stress dinesh372 yeah, that will fill in the blanks on writing shell scripts [07:45] hi! is there a repository that packages the latest nvidia beta drivers? [07:45] Can someone help me with my network card I can get the OS to recognize that its there, even go so far as list the possible networks, though it won't let me connect using it [07:46] [kev]: system > prefrences > sessions [07:48] .

[07:57] say i have 4.3 and 4.2 [07:57] how do i change from 4.3 to 4.2 [07:57] i want to burn a file onto a dvd. i insert empty dvd. where is it located? [07:58] is this a riddle? I think its located in your dvd drive, where you just put it [07:59] no i think he means path [07:59] to device [07:59] or something [07:59] hehe yeah, i was just teasing :p [07:59] lol [07:59] <_2> it's still a riddle [08:00] <_2> here's the answer http://pastebin.com/f21d535bd [08:00] <_2> ummm may not work correctly on notebooks that can't close their own drive [08:00] /server irc.spotchat.org [08:01] _2: nice tool: http://tips4linux.com/check-fragmentation-levels-on-ext3-files/ [08:02] hi how to connect vnc?

I've got files like that too [08:05] Slart: hmm.. i thought it does defrag on-the-fly :( [08:06] ari_stress: you can wait until ext4 becomes standard.. it comes with a defragger [08:06] ari_stress: nah.. it creates files a bit differently than windows does.. but I don't think it defragments automatically.. not that I know of at least [08:06] Slart: nice to hear that. great [08:06] !info pgdb [08:06] Package pgdb does not exist in intrepid [08:07] <_2> !info filefrag [08:07] Package filefrag does not exist in intrepid [08:07] ubottu is wrong, i have filefrag in 8.10 [08:07] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:07] _2: it isn't a package.. it's just an application..

[08:10] <_2> Slart i mean obviously package manpages-fr-extra does not provide filefrag executable [08:10] _2: we didn't say we wanted an executable [08:10] <_2> like duh [08:10] hi Slart..

[08:12] anyone know why ubuntu remix wont come out of sleep if you leave it for like longer then an hour? [08:13] <_2> codeyman you can sudo mount -no remount,rw / # to make it writable so you can fix things. [08:13] Slart: fsck didn't find anything [08:13] <_2> assuming it's the root fs which you didn't answer [08:13] _2: fix what? [08:14] <_2> you said you were in readonly fs ? [08:14] <_2> you obviously can't change anything in a ro fs [08:14] I can use livecd/mount .. -remount to make the partition readable.. [08:14] and change it [08:14] but after reboot.. it drops back to the read only state [08:14] Help with PPC sound anyone? [08:14] Please [08:14] codeyman: maybe the /etc/fstab is wrong [08:15] Alex_21, whats up [08:15] nope.. its fine [08:15] that was the default [08:15] <_2> codeyman so find out why it's not remounting rootfs rw and change it. [08:15] codeyman: what caused the ro? [08:15] <_2> ari_stress exactly. [08:15] _2: :D .. thats what am trying [08:16] codeyman: i mean the history, maybe power outage? [08:16] ari_stress: no poweroutage.. only thing I did before was install libsplashy.. then reinstalled usplash [08:17] maybe initramfs is conked in the process.. but i did update-initramfs -c to get a new one [08:17] codeyman: oh.. hmm. [08:17] that didn't help either [08:17] <_2> messed up initramfs then. rebuild it. [08:17] Out of curiosity,, has any one been noticing problems with firefox recently? [08:17] Hi, does someone have experience with ssh tunneling for mysql ? I had it done, but when mysql is in use, and when I do a netstat -vuptan on the client machine, there are plenty connections with TIME_WAIT status. Is it normal, of if not, how to correct this. Thank you in advance! [08:17] did update-initramfs -c , dpkg-reconfigure linux-image, update-grub [08:17] did all google could come up with [08:18] codeyman: how about reinstalling the kernel [08:18] reconfigure kernel image is as good as that I think [08:18] phenom: works nicely here on 64bit.. but i've got a restart waiting for me since the last batch of libc updates I think [08:18] <_2> codeyman ok. are you in the real system or in the live cd ? [08:19] am booted off on a live usb on the machine that is giving me grief [08:19] <_2> codeyman ok what is the device node ? sda2 ???

It's real odd, but I am getting that on 2 ubuntu boxes and an Etch box. [08:20] i did that [08:20] <_2> with -f ? [08:20] yes [08:20] then with -c [08:21] So I'm thinking a recent update screwed up FF. [08:21] :/ [08:21] phenom: that's so strange [08:21] <_2> codeyman ok. tune2fs -l /dev/sda8 and pastebin it. [08:21] ok [08:22] And I actually notice a problem updating these last 20 acpid updates on both ubuntu boxes :P [08:22] Lol, bad week of updates. [08:22] Help with PPC sound anyone?

I want to assign an output file to a variable (var='/tmp/tempfile') and then use it as a redirection this way: mycommand [params] > $var ... the thing tells me that the redirection is ambiguous. How should i do it then? [09:20] no i don't have any problem with 8.10 [09:20] sidewalk: try desktop drapes, however both are quite buggy [09:20] yes I did it manually?
