It hasn't the same support than the official, closed source flash player. [00:30] fruit-dude which one is the fsta line [00:30] fruit-dude, my bbb key is going [00:30] You should remove it, activate the partner repo from the "software origins" option and install the adobe-flashplayer package [00:30] gez, have you searched your driver for different versions of the library libavcodec [00:31] driver = mounts [00:31] I have a simple script that rsyncs daily jaunty .iso image, and then boots into it from my HDD, so that I can check out the latest features.

[00:33] fruit-dude, what are my options now [00:33] I had another from a third party repo but I removed it. [00:33] Guest5941 sorry I was always talking about manual mount [00:33] gez: is it due to swfdec (open source software) may not able to play some video and i should uninstall it and install the one suggested by jp_sf ?

[00:34] nomingzi: I didn't have a single problem running the proprietary software on x64 [00:34] nomingzi: You can install easily from synaptic (remember to activate the partner repo before) the adobe-flashplugin. It's the 32-bit version of the plugin but it works in 64-bit [00:34] The x64 version is, afaik, a beta version [00:34] koshari: yes, it is better than booting into KVM, because I can make sure that all my hardware is working properly. [00:35] It works much better than the 32 bit version, but it has to be installed manually. [00:35] sahak are the diffs big? [00:35] koshari: No, it only takes a couple of minutes to update daily .iso image. [00:35] If "install it manually" sounds scary for you, probably you should stick to the 32-bit version that is available in the repos. [00:35] koshari: diffs are between 0 and 100MB in size [00:36] evenin [00:36] gez, have you tried this? http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/7d2e49127a35f92e/386d17df772b0a21?lnk=raot [00:36] fruit-dude, http://paste.ubuntu.com/111916/ [00:36] gez: how do i "activate the partner repo" ?

My concern is that many other files may suffer the same fate.

I may have to reinstall because I don't know how the numbers got changed ... [01:24] But I removed everything from it [01:24] Surely I can't be the only one in this boat [01:24] it's not a big deal. I barely installed it and started changing stuff :P [01:24] hello, how to set ubuntu so that user login is automatic?? [01:24] I deactivated the third party repos [01:24] Bsims, have you tried --force-depends [01:24] so ubuntu keeps freezing my computer, to the point of numlocks not working, mouse not working. NOTHING working, display even freezes if something is happening. I've search multiple forums but no one has seemed to pin it down. Is there a log file that should tell me what is cauing the problem? I've already searched syslog and message and dmesg :-( [01:24] gez: while having desinstall all kde components I still had problems until I depkg all pkg related to it and then it was working again [01:24] I think aoutomatic user login is under preferences, let me check. [01:25] O__o: alchemist1: under Administrtion, Login [01:25] Cpplus: as an option to dpkg or to apt [01:25] You just removed the packages from apt and it worked again?

They are to have a newer OS than the existing computers. Now, to get the user info over to the new computers, I usually copy over the four files: hosts, group, passwd, shadow. [01:32] Type3Singularity, thanks :)) [01:32] exodus_ms: its whining about hal-info [01:32] and removing that means removing most of my system [01:32] yo. what program/package controls volume automounting when in gnome? (plug in a usb key and something opens) [01:32] * Bsims is gonna try intalling hal-info with dpkg [01:32] jp_sf: It seems related with ffmpeg [01:32] leeping2007, just use caution :) [01:33] nickrud, about 30 minutes ago when I attempted to copy these files over, my DHCP instantly stopped working, and I figured that it was because the "group" attribute of the "call-dhclient-script" got changed [01:33] Bsims: sudo dpkg -r hal hal-info [01:33] But I already reinstalled every package related to ffmpeg and it still doesn't work. [01:33] Bsims: sudo aptitude reinstall [01:33] exodus_ms: that did it [01:33] exodus_ms: dpkg install and I had already tried apt-get install --reinstall [01:33] nickrud, you're right. I should have backed up the "group" file [01:34] Bsims: so what is the status [01:34] Now I have to reinstall my system because I think I snafu'd it [01:34] leeping2007: Its important that the gid and uid numbers are the same since those are what is stored on the filesystem [01:34] can intrepid be installed as dual boot side by side w/ windows? [01:34] hello... what program/package controls volume automounting when in gnome? (plug in a usb key and something opens) [01:34] laughyn1nj4: yes [01:34] Hey guys can anyone help me out, i cant find a single skype setting that works for my headset... [01:34] exodus_ms: currently after an apt-get update and upgrade 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. no errors [01:34] Hello? [01:34] Anyone here? [01:34] intrepid hates me [01:34] leeping2007, if it's just gid's, you can restore by editing those files by hand. [01:34] Bsims: so everything is cool? [01:34] nickrud, I don't know what the old gid's are [01:35] exodus_ms: so its definately hal-info... but how to I write the bug report [01:35] leeping2007: And if you did kill your system always you a alt. cd's recovery mode first [01:35] exodus_ms: I'd say critical... breaks apt unless manualy installed [01:35] Bsims: there is already one here --> https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/53727 [01:35] leeping2007, the ls -l call-dhclient-script should show a number if there's no associated group. the gid is what is physically associated with the file [01:35] Type3Singularity, right .. I don't want to change the numbers. However, to add new users I should just modify the "group" and "passwd" files carefully [01:35] hello, i'm having an issue with ubuntu, X isn't starting and i'm being told "Fatal error: no screens found" [01:35] t_: what is the problem [01:35] leeping2007, then you'd edit group to match [01:36] exodus_ms: Heh never thought I'd need to install apt-bugreports on ubuntu [01:36] leeping2007: You could try and track down a file owned by the group, DHCP might have a leases directory or some such [01:36] Can I remove a package but not remove any dependencies ? [01:36] Ah I see. I'm already reinstalling, but I'll remember the advice for later :)) [01:36] leeping2007: [01:36] Type3Singularity, at this point it's actually easier for me to reinstall. I've installed pretty much nothing on that computer so far [01:36] * Bsims knows its a lifesaver on Debian Sid but Satan's blue testes I thought it was a bit more tested than that [01:36] I have the network boot set up so it works out well [01:37] Bsims: there might be more info elsewhere, that bug I just linked you was posted 12-07-2008 [01:37] * Bsims bows to your superior google foo exodus_ms [01:37] lol [01:37] leeping2007, you might find it worth your while learning the adduser deluser usermod useradd commands for next time :) [01:37] leeping2007: If your doing a cluster it might be worth looking at setting up a proper central login system with LDAP or whatever [01:37] exodus_ms: Heh reminds me... need to rsync my box again [01:38] jp_sf: Well, thank you very much for your time. I guess I'll keep trying for a couple of hours and I'll reinstall if I can't get it to work. I'd like to solve it in the right way and avoid reinstalling, but it already took too much time and I have work to do. [01:38] nickrud, I've used the "adduser" command before, but that requires the user to actually be present to type in their info [01:38] * Bsims used to do weekly rdiff-backups but ye gods and little fishes is rdiff slow [01:38] Bsims: I got a couple of links on that as well, just kidding :P [01:38] CU, bye! [01:38] leeping2007, ? You can fake it, put an expiry on the password and force them to re enter a new one? [01:39] * Bsims grins at exodus_ms so once a week I do a sync and montly to a delete on the mirror side [01:39] True :P I can certainly do that [01:39] Does anyone need any help? [01:39] exodus_ms: Heh I got started with Linux back in 1999 [01:39] Type3Singularity, I usually just serve the home directory over NFS and put each computer's public key into the $HOME/.ssh directory [01:39] leeping2007: Try the useradd command instead, it doesn't ask for details [01:39] can anyone hlep me with the manual partitioner in the intrepid install? [01:39] leeping2007, but for long term stability and maintainability Type3Singularity's advice about ldap is better [01:40] gez: still here ? [01:40] Ran sid till 2001ish and at the time stable was Potato and well my frankenbox was newer than testing and Sid was uninstallable so I kinda drifted to Ubuntu [01:40] gez: have a look into clonezilla to barebone your system [01:40] hm .. I should look it over. Thanks. :) [01:40] but we're a bit off topic now .... [01:40] although im not sure how much use an account with a null password is [01:40] jp_sf: Good idea. Thank you. [01:40] Type3Singularity, the useradd command looks like what I want. I'm guessing I could type in the encrypted password as-is, without knowing the actual password [01:40] * Bsims winks at exodus_ms I am debating going back to Momma Debian but I have grown to like the polish this latest fiasco not withstanding [01:41] what should i put as the mount point of my Ubuntu partition? [01:41] laughyn1nj4: / [01:41] * Bsims looks all tough maybe once I order a second 1tb drive [01:41] ok...thanks. any idea why there are so many choices? seems like / is the one and only right answer. [01:42] * Bsims says one for porn/music, one for /home [01:43] exodus_ms: Heh I just don't want to build/reinstall things I am missing [01:43] Bsims: porn/music get a dedicated server which exports over the network in my house, also the porn is and encrypted loopback partition ;) [01:43] i have ubuntu 8.10 installed on a computer on my wlan. i have installed openssh-server, and im able to connect to the machine via ssh/sftp with my main username/password with 192.168.0.100 as ip. however i want to create a new login for sftp, with username/password, that can only access ~/shared/ and directories within that directory. people using the login should only be able to download. not upload/delete/rename, etc. can anyone help me [01:43] laughyn1nj4, for other partition mount points; using a separate partition on /home can be very useful [01:43] is some other action needed after adding a line to /etc/hosts like "11.11.11.11 domain.com" ? it doesn't work in firefox [01:43] i have a second hard drive of 320gb as a slave but only see 318.7 with it's own ubuntu partition. why do i see only 218.7GB? [01:43] Type3Singularity: a man after my own heart [01:44] i'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the concept that / is where a partition should be mounted .... doesnt / exist on a partition? why then is a partition mounted to / ? [01:44] hi all, anyone know where to ask about bridging wlan0 to a tap? [01:44] laughyn1nj4, just a difference in perspective, both mean the same thing [01:44] * Bsims grins most porn is on disk some is external and ecrypted via truecrypt via hidden container [01:44] i have a second hard drive of 320gb as a slave but only see 318.7 with it's own ubuntu partition. why do i see only 218.7GB? [01:45] laughyn1nj4: / is the top most directory think / as /C on windows [01:45] what you perceive as a directory structure is more like a tree with storage hanging off of it [01:45] what do i have to do to install ubuntu on a powerpc mac? [01:45] !ppc [01:45] PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [01:45] hi, how can I check a disk for defects? [01:45] Fertech: I think the 2GB is for your partition table [01:45] laughyn1nj4: most drives are shoved under /media/disk-whatever [01:45] Fertech: I assume you mean 318,7GB. 320 GB specification by HDD manufacturers is based on 1000 KB = B, not 1024 [01:46] nickrud: thanks [01:46] mercutio22: fdisk [01:46] er fsck [01:46] Sorry you want fsck [01:46] why does Ubuntu have an obsession with changing my Firefox paper type back to US-letter all the time? The printer is configured as A4, everything I can see is A4... but Ubuntu keeps on changing Firefox back to US-Letter! [01:46] m'kay :) [01:46] that's what she said [01:46] Bsims> thanks [01:46] mercutio22: do you know what the partiion type is? [01:46] "ssh -t -L 5900:localhost:5900 far-host 'x11vnc -localhost -display :0' <----- what does the -t does here ?? [01:47] mercutio22: I'd run man fdisk before I did anything [01:47] * inflex thinks it's sad that an African-orientated distribution of linux has the compulsion to set paper types to one that only a tiny fraction of the world uses :( [01:47] inflex: I think that is more of an obsession with Firefox rather than Ubuntu. Do you have any reason to assume it is Ubuntu doing it? [01:47] inflex: did you setup CUPS [01:47] mercutio22: always good to read the manual [01:47] WebcamWonder: it only happens on my ubuntu machines [01:47] whats a good channel to ask about networking in linux? [01:47] Slackware box is fine, likewise Mandrake and SuSE [01:47] oh ok [01:47] ssh -t -L 5900:localhost:5900 far-host 'x11vnc -localhost -display :0' <---- and what -localhost and -display :0 do here? [01:47] inflex: Ahh. I take what I said back, it is Ubuntu's fault then :p [01:47] Bsims> NTFS [01:47] munk: here as as good as anywhere though #linuxhelp is usefull [01:47] Of course, maybe WebcamWonder it's the "mix" of the two? [01:48] weatherkid_: yes, CUPS is setup [01:48] munk: i may try #linuxforums [01:48] i've installed and re-installed ibex on this thing so many times i'm msure the hd will fail [01:48] mercutio22: Hrm try booting of your install cd for windows and running chdisk [01:48] er scandisk or whatever the name is these days [01:48] Not really done much with ntfs on linux [01:49] I am trying to bridge my wlan0 to tap0 using brctl but I cant access the internet through either interface after, anyone know why? [01:49] hello from a freshly instlled [01:49] er [01:49] inflex: I have noticed the same bug, but don't print as often to actually get bothered by it. You should file a bug with launchpad [01:49] Bsims> its an external HD. Do you still think its necessary? [01:49] WebcamWonder: good idea. [01:49] that was going to say : hello from a freshly install ubuntu-running OLPC... :/ [01:50] what program/package controls volume automounting when in gnome? (plug in a usb key and something opens) [01:51] loa_dude: gnome-volume-manager [01:51] esworp: hello back ... [01:51] i can hear myself on the speaker whenever i speak on the mic but the sound isn't detected on skype. any idea?:) [01:51] mercutio22: well ntfs is still kinda flaky [01:51] mercutio22: do you dual boot? [01:51] wers: change audio device in skype? [01:51] Bsims> yes I do [01:52] i have ubuntu 8.10 installed on a computer on my wlan. i have installed openssh-server, and im able to connect to the machine via ssh/sftp with my main username/password with 192.168.0.100 as ip. however i want to create a new login for sftp, with username/password, that can only access ~/shared/ and directories within that directory. people using the login should only be able to download. not upload/delete/rename, etc. can anyone help me [01:52] * Bsims smiles I prefer fat32 or ext3 for external drives to ntfs [01:52] thx WebcamWonder. is there a config file that controls the umask of files when mounted? [01:52] Bsims> I will do that then. [01:52] mercutio22: NTFS scanning tools are much better on Windows because NTFS is essentially implemented by Microsoft first. You should be able to acheive a better filesystem consistency [01:52] loa_dude: It respects fstab [01:52] is there a GUI program for ubuntu simular to TSmuxer that can split/edit/demux mkv files? [01:52] WebcamWonder> I see... [01:52] WebcamWonder, sweet. thx [01:52] mercutio22: may I suggest if you are gonna use it only with linux formating it ext3 as it respects permissons better [01:52] How does one minimize an app to the taskbar? ...it just disappears down to left hand side of the panel withou any indication or icon [01:52] * esworp ducks in anticipation of backlash from a newb question.. [01:52] cool. how do i learn more about the linux file system? google i supose [01:53] esworp: No need to. We are all here to help [01:53] can i add swap to a disk without having to repartition? [01:53] mercutio22: for external drives fat32 is read by linux, windows, and mac its the lowest common demomiator [01:53] !filesystem | laughyn1nj4 [01:53] laughyn1nj4: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [01:53] esworp: You can add a swap file, yeah. [01:53] !swap | esworp [01:53] esworp: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [01:53] Bsims> unfortunately, its my sister's drive and she uses windows. Next time I will format it to fat32 [01:53] Hey all [01:53] mercutio22: bacialy if you format it as fat32, everything can read it [01:53] well i'd thank the bot , but... [01:53] yep [01:54] step21_, thank you very much! :) [01:54] mercutio22: how big is the data on it? [01:54] mercutio22: Don't use FAT. For the love of... anyone [01:54] even if i /am/ running from an SD card, I think swap wouold speed things up [01:54] wers: np ... [01:54] WebcamWonder> why so? [01:54] anyone? [01:54] WebcamWonder: beats the crap out of ntfs if you want to use it painfree on Linux [01:54] mercutio22: Bsims: 1 reason should suffice, Journaling [01:54] mercutio22: fat is outdated, unreilable... painful ... [01:55] * Bsims winks at WebcamWonder that said my external drive is ext3 [01:55] yeah and journaling [01:55] hmmm [01:55] If you want a killer fs, I suggest razor :P [01:55] !kde | weatherkid_ [01:55] weatherkid_, please see my private message [01:55] WebcamWonder: seems it's already there - been going since 2002 !!! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/10910 [01:55] ok, I will just stick with ntfs for windows stuff then [01:55] * Bsims nods good help but as fdisking ntfs is kinda flaky fat32 really really does suck less [01:55] and fat files can't be bigger then 4 GB it think [01:56] inflex: Wow. I guess it is a really low priority bug [01:56] er fscking [01:56] Bsims> I will use your first advice and boot into windows to check the windows disk [01:56] WebcamWonder: perhaps to ppl in the US :( [01:56] anyone here using tsmuxer or simular to convert bluray's etc... [01:56] * Bsims smiles its my recomendation, and I've been linux full time from 2001 roughly [01:57] Thanks everyone for the advice [01:57] * Bsims grins dual boot from 1999 to today [01:57] later.. [01:57] WebcamWonder: wastes trees through the fact that you end up having to print out twice (once to realise the stuffup, second when fixed) [01:57] inflex: Heh get a duplexing printer and save paper [01:57] WebcamWonder: about the only 'fix' I have is to chattr +i the configuration file for FF [01:57] inflex: Did this work for you, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/10910/comments/11 ? [01:57] Bsims: had one :( [01:58] mmm... i'll try that WebcamWonder [01:58] inflex: on my second one was an ancient ibm laserjet 4+p I sold for a song and the second was a samsung that speaks postscript [01:58] inflex: Remember to backup the relevant settings/profiles [01:59] Bsims: mine was a HP2200D [01:59] * Bsims grins sold a laserjet 4+ with max ram, real postscript card and duplexer for 50 bucks === lance_ is now known as Guest28159 [01:59] Ubuntu is not recognizing my wireless USB adapter. It used to before just fine, but now it won't detect it. [01:59] * Bsims laughs damn thing weighted better part of a 8 yearold... I think total weight was about 75lbs [02:00] it had 64megs of ram ya could remove the postscript card and boost that to 90 something [02:00] and a jetdirect card too [02:00] Neither the installation in my laptop nor the one in my tower is not recognizing it. [02:01] I'm not getting sound "aplay -l" lists my hardware, but no sound, any ideas? [02:01] anyone here using tsmuxer? [02:01] not [02:01] replaced it with a ML-2850 [02:02] did use the linux provided drivers [02:02] bobbob1016: Are you using aplay -D ? [02:02] so long as the printers talk Postscript, i'm happy. I find anything that doesn't talk PS ends up being a pain. [02:03] * Bsims pimps the ML-2850 28 A4 or 30PPM letter, built in postscript3, speaks USB, pcl6 and pcl5e and 10/100 networking with its own server [02:04] best part its not that expensive [02:04] WebcamWonder, Yes [02:04] and it has a duplexer built in [02:04] bobbob1016: hmm, did you check the volume? :) [02:05] WebcamWonder, Yes, checked that first [02:05] bobbob1016: Then I am out of ideas. Try googling your sound card model number [02:05] WebcamWonder, And speaker-test -c 6 -D output thinks it's working [02:05] back [02:06] inflex: did have to monkey with it to get it to speak the same subnet as the rest of my lan [02:06] Um, can somebody plz help me? Problems stated above. [02:06] WebcamWonder, I was asking since it was working, and I updated alsa so I could get 5.1 from my spdif cable [02:06] * Bsims grins and debates a smoke vs cancer risk and pours myself another shot to chill while I smoke [02:07] !patience | Until_It_Sleeps [02:07] Until_It_Sleeps: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

I have no clue, worked with Alsa very little [02:08] Until_It_Sleeps: Did you upgrade/reinstall any of the versions of Ubuntu? [02:08] hi, I have problems whit my nvidia. I am using Ubuntu 8.1. Some body come help me ? [02:09] WebcamWonder: Not recently. I'm using the same version (8.10) that I used when the adapter was working [02:09] Until_It_Sleeps: Can you test the adaptor with any other OS/PC to see if it is working? The adaptor might be dead itself [02:10] I do have a multiboot going on my laptop. Both versions of Windows XP see the adapter just fine. [02:11] some one have problems with nvidia and ubuntu 8.1 ?? [02:12] what's the command for the ncurses sysV? [02:12] Hmm... just did a adept update and it broke my sound. I've traced the problem to an error when trying to load the module snd-hda-intel (I have intel sound): [ 189.459653] snd_hda_intel: disagrees about version of symbol snd_ctl_add_slave [ 189.459675] snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_ctl_add_slave (in dmesg). How can I get the drver working again? [02:13] Is the Nvidia 180 driver in the repos? [02:13] I do notice that it stopped recognizing it after I tried out a second USB adapter(Which I have no idea about it's location atm.). [02:13] brb [02:13] * racecar-56 is away: brb [02:14] codename: you could possibly try the Nvidia site they probably have the .run for it.

[02:15] yes, I have 180 driver in the repost, I tray to install it , and [02:15] !wifi [02:15] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:15] So basically in Synaptic [02:15] Uninstall the 177 stuff, then isntall the 180 stuff [02:15] salut [02:15] Until_It_Sleeps: check your private chat unless you are being helped [02:16] talonstriker, codename yes [02:16] ok thank's I will it now [02:16] I tried updating ubuntu (got a list of 150 MB, But with my current connection, No problemo!)... [02:16] talonstriker, sorry, no kde help from me, I was about to suggest #kubuntu [02:16] But I got an error at apt and it said to 'dpkg --configure -a', So I did, But there too I get that same dpkg error stating the following: dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed.

[02:18] (if its your root ofcourse or another system FS :P) [02:18] Xunie: i've just reformat a partition, i guess the uuid is changed?

I remember that now. I can't remember how to force the kernel to update it's list of uuid's. [02:23] nickrud: sda4 is not there [02:23] i have installed both the LPR and CUPS driver but i think my device uri is wrong... [02:23] ari_stress, I hate giving this advice, but if you reboot it'll be there ;( [02:23] nickrud: ahh.. hmm.. maybe i need to reboot? it's just been reformated [02:23] i'm trying to do a distribution update, but the urls it is trying to download the files from don't exist...

[02:25] yoyoned: why isn't that run automatically on updates? [02:25] zanberdo_ ls -l [02:25] zanberdo_: i run nm-applet from the cl all the time with no group stuff [02:25] zanberdo_, im not sure what you mean nm-applet is executable by your regular user [02:25] apt-get update dies on the same thing [02:25] how can i get a jaunty package installed on intrepid? I need the latest nvidia driver [02:25] hvgotcodes, 180? [02:25] nickrud: 180.22 [02:26] zanberdo_: anything that affects outside your /home directory means require root rights [02:26] hey, you guys know how in metacity you can drag windows inbetween workspaces in the little workspaces applet, but in compiz you can't? [02:26] nickrud: the latest 180.xx in intrepid is 11 [02:26] is there a compiz plugin that adds that functionality? [02:26] !prevu | hvgotcodes [02:26] hvgotcodes: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details [02:26] hey [02:26] apparently this is because fiesty now longer is update [02:26] *updated [02:27] atari2600a: you still use atari? :) compiz replace that with "xinerama" effect [02:27] yeah, it's very useful! [02:27] why do repositories for older versions of ubuntu just get deleted with no way to update anymore? === bamhm182 is now known as ba1 [02:27] How do i see if php5 and mySQL are running on my system === ba1 is now known as Dyla1 [02:27] what's up with this thing? [02:27] brb [02:27] hvgotcodes, you'll need nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 and nvidia-180-kernel-source at the least, I think [02:27] hello everyone, can someone please tell me how to partition my main hard drive? i'vetried with gparted but it won't allow me the option. [02:27] nickrud: i dont want to backport [02:28] i want to forwardport ;) [02:28] hvgotcodes, you'll have to, since the video driver is intimately tied to the kernel. You need to recompile the driver against the intrepid kernel [02:28] badcat: you want to add more? max partition is 4 primary, if you want more, change the 4th to extended one [02:28] bnovc, its kind of expensive maintaining repositories, and ubuntu's philosophy is new release every six months, there are long term support releases that are supported for 3 years, hardy is lts [02:28] nickrud: yeah i got those thru synaptic but the latest version is 180.11. I need 180.12, which is the default for jaunty [02:29] nickrud: ah i see what you mean [02:29] alright I think I got it now [02:29] yup [02:29] badcat: you can't partion a drive that is mounted. get the gparted live cd [02:29] poo [02:29] usser: i should at least be given the option to update to a newer version though.... [02:29] this is absurd that it just dies and i can't update [02:29] hvgotcodes, and prevu will automate nearly everything [02:29] bnovc, you do have that option [02:29] how do i update to the latest version of ubuntu? [02:29] bnovc: upgrade to hardy [02:29] !upgrade | bnovc [02:29] usser: how? it won't let me because these repos were removed [02:29] bnovc: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [02:29] kde4.2 is practically unusuable for me L( [02:30] bnovc, what do u want to upgrade to? [02:30] the newest would be great [02:30] I'm only getting stereo over spdif with "speaker-test -c 6", can anyone help me get 5.1? Here's my .asound.rc [02:30] anyways, I decided to say screw Vista, and it wasn't going online, so I looked around for a copy of anything but Vista that I could install, Ubuntu 7.04 was the only one that I could find, but it's not letting me upgrade, any idea why not? [02:30] http://pastebin.ca/1323327 [02:30] ok, to all that have offered suggestions: more information. Without getting into too much detail I have switch from gdm to qingy. As a result I have discovered that there are a few apps such as pulse/alsa and now evidently nm-applet that do not load. I resolved the audio issue by adding my user to the audio group. I'm assuming I can do the same for nm-applets. I just need to figure out what group is required. It's not dialout, b [02:30] tw. And yes, I can run it using sudo from cli, it just won't run as me [02:30] bnovc, oh you are trying to upgrade from old version to slightly newer but still old :) [02:30] Is it just that it's not supported any more? [02:30] bnovc, yea that kinda sucks [02:30] usser: i'm trying to upgrade to whatever i can upgrade to [02:30] i thought i would be able to upgrade without wiping and reinstalling? [02:30] bamhm182: THat's far too old - just dl a new ISO [02:30] apparently not :( === daaaa is now known as vlada === vlada is now known as vlada_ns [02:31] bamhm182: In order to get up to date, you'd have to go from 7.04 --> 7.10 --> 8.04 --> 8.10 [02:31] same here i have 8.04.2 and i want to upgreade to the latest one [02:31] How do i see if I have mySQL and PHP5 running on my system [02:31] nownot: so do it - run the upgrader [02:31] bnovc: update-manager -c [02:31] Cpudan80, bamhm182: Or you can just stop at 8.04, which is an LTS. [02:31] hello dale [02:31] !upgrade | nownot [02:31] bnovc, what version do u have? [02:31] nownot: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [02:32] alright, thank you Cpudan80, that's what I was thinking was going on, I've already got it working on downloading 8.10 [02:32] usser: 7.04 === DaLe_oFF is now known as DaLe89 [02:32] vlada_ns hellp [02:32] Laughing Out Loud [02:32] yoyoned: that is what i tried to using originally [02:32] hello [02:32] it says "New distribution release '7.10' is available" [02:32] Man, Vista wasn't going online for like an hour, so I said screw it and put in the CD, booted to the live CD and INSTANTLY the internet was working again [02:32] i click it, it dies [02:32] o chemu ovi razglabavaju? [02:32] that's what I get bnovc [02:33] nickrud: ive read the prevu documentation more closely, seems to be exactly what i want thanx [02:33] wow, people still use 7.04 wow [02:33] bamhm182: In fairness, the Vista TCP/IP stack was probably broken - and could have been fixed with one command [02:33] has 7.10 reached end of life? [02:33] i don't use 7.04... i have it installed and i want to upgrade it [02:33] But .... water under the bridge now I guess [02:33] or over it [02:33] what's the command for the ncurses sysV? [02:33] lol, only reason I'm on 7.04 is because I just needed to get off Vista, and I didn't have anything newer [02:33] its pretty bad if it just dies updating [02:33] oh [02:34] ari_stress i only have the main partition and the swap. is there away at least to shrink the main partition? (the one that ubuntu is installed on, when i'm in ubuntu?) [02:34] dl 8.10 and burn that :d [02:34] so if you're on 7.04 you're just completely screwed? [02:35] yoyoned. hmmm, in other words if i'm in ubuntu i can't partition the drive ubuntu is installed on right? [02:35] bnovc: No, you just need to do some extra steps to upgrade to 7.10 (and then you do it entirely normally) [02:35] 7.04 is unsupported, and outdated [02:35] badcat: right [02:35] i don't want support beyond upgrading [02:35] you shouldn't lose support for upgrading [02:35] dont know, never upgraded from 7.04, but why not just get 8.10? its awesome [02:35] yoyoned, thanks [02:35] and if you do, it shouldn't just die trying to download repositories [02:36] it should say "we dont have time to fix the updating procedures for old version. you must reformat" [02:36] miik: i was trying to ... via update [02:36] oh [02:36] bnovc: You just have to manually tweak some things. [02:36] bnovc: It's entirely upgradable. Whomever told you otherwise is mistaken. [02:36] bnovc, listen to Flannel he seems to have specialized in this recently :) [02:37] bnovc, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/upgrade-ubuntu-from-feisty-to-gutsy/ [02:37] bnovc: there is one other thing you could try, but it may not go smoothly === Inc`` is now known as Inc` [02:37] I'll give that a shot, thanks bobbob1016 [02:37] bobbob1016: those are the steps i've tried that don't work [02:37] 11.7 mb/s, wow i update from 8.10 to 9.04alpha in 1 minute [02:37] bobbob1016, bobbob1016: That article isn't relevant at all. It was only relative during the middle part of 2007. [02:37] er, bnovc [02:38] Flannel: what can i edit to get that procedure to work again? [02:38] Flannel, Yes, but he's going from feisty to gutsy, which was relevant back then... Shouldn't have changed. If someone was asking how to install software on a 15 year old machine, telling them to put the floppy in wouldn't be irrelevant to them, but would in modern day standards. [02:39] hello [02:39] and more important, has this been fixed in future versions so when they EOL they dont die with missing URL errors? [02:39] bobbob1016, the repository has changed. Mainly [02:39] I've gotten 3 Linux Kernel 2.6.7-11 updates in the past 24 hours; anyone know what is going on? [02:39] bobbob1016: No, that article is temporal, mentions things that were only necessary before Gutsy was officially released, etc. [02:39] hrm, whats the keyboard shortcut to jump to the "search" box in firefox on ubuntu? in windows it was ctrl+e [02:39] TheOrz, yeah, i got that... [02:39] how do you kill a program that won't exit? [02:39] patmanpato: ctrl+l+tab :D [02:39] Sorry, I'm new [02:39] bnovc: last resort - chnage every instance of fiesty to hardy in /etc/apt/sources.list then apt-get dist-upgrade [02:40] TheOrz, you probably have the "Proposed" repository enabled [02:40] yoyoned: No. [02:40] bnovc: No. [02:40] bnovc, don't do that [02:40] yoyoned: that sounds like it will cause even more problems [02:40] nickrud, Yes, but I thought update -c or whichever was repo independent, as in it got the next version's location from a generic repo, not a specific place. My bad. [02:40] miik: They are all listed under "Important Security Updates" [02:40] i think he means -d [02:40] TheOrz, oh, then they are security updates... i got them too [02:40] patmanpato: Crtl + k [02:40] i could just download another iso and install it, but i'm just shocked that the maintainers would delete a repository knowing that people using older versions would just die suddenly with vague errors [02:40] bobbob1016, currently, the place for feisty is old-releases.ubuntu.com. Not automated at all :) [02:40] bnovc: First, lets stick with the real pages: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes is for all releases, so once you're on Gutsy, you'll be able to get instructions on going to Hardy. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades contains current information on upgrading to Hardy. [02:40] Flannel, I get what you mean, I saw update -c and remember doing that all the time. [02:41] bnovc: It's not deleted, it's moved. [02:41] The0rz: Seems like the last kernel update was buggy, or so I have seen in this IRC, so I guess is 'fixed' now, I just updated and all seems to work fine. [02:41] is there something that is NOT autossh that will keep a persistent ssh tunnel open? [02:41] miik: yeah but why are there 3 in one day to the same kernel? Just smelled like a fish. [02:41] Flannel: either way, the error still says my network connection is broken and nothing about using too old of a version to upgrade [02:41] erUSUL: thanks [02:41] TheOrz, hehe... maybe 2 were oops [02:41] lol [02:41] bnovc: If you go to that wiki page, it explains how to get access to those repositories. I apologise for all of the blind-leading-the-blind going on here. [02:41] update-manager -d [02:41] Hmm... just did a adept update and it broke my sound. I've traced the problem to an error when trying to load the module snd-hda-intel (I have intel sound): [ 189.459653] snd_hda_intel: disagrees about version of symbol snd_ctl_add_slave [ 189.459675] snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_ctl_add_slave (in dmesg). How can I get the drver working again? [02:41] what is the command to extract tar.bz files? [02:42] bunzip and tar [02:42] tar -xf? [02:42] syzygy: tar jxvf [02:42] jords, dont know, try google "snd_hda_intel: disagrees about version of symbol snd_ctl_add_slave" and "snd_hda_intel: Unknown symbol snd_ctl_add_slave" [02:42] ty [02:42] hi, my transmission port stays open for a while then closes, what do i do? thanks! [02:42] Flannel: well probably easier if i just grab a new ISO at this point... im just really disappointed in this .... have the newer versions been corrected so when they end of life this doesn't happen? [02:43] bnovc: The network upgrade isn't broken. It's possible to upgrade, and many people have. [02:43] When I click my left and right mouse buttons at the same time, it registers as a middle-click. This is causing problems in some of the action games I play, which expect a right-then-left click in very quick succession. How can I disable the middle-click emulation feature? [02:43] Flannel: it gives me an error, so it is broken... it may be fixable but that doesn't mean it is done correctly right now [02:43] Hey all, I am having trouble forwarding X with my new computer. I already enabled the relevant line in /etc/sshd_config. Is there anything else I should do? Thanks. [02:44] miik: I have googled, i it seems to be related to the kernel and module versions being mismatched but that doesnt really help me to get the new version of the module [02:44] leeping_: what command are you using to ssh [02:44] leeping are you using ssh -X [02:44] bnovc, I'm using ssh -Y [02:44] bnovc: Um. Right. Just because people were giving you poor information here has nothing to do with broken. Also, you were given at least two months from the *end* of Feistys support where it "wasn't broken" (didn't require extra steps). [02:44] need -X [02:44] !eol [02:44] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [02:45] !lts [02:45] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [02:45] Flannel: but i'm saying that it should bring up a dialog and say "You need to go to and follow steps" or something instead of just saying the url is missing [02:45] !jack_sparrow [02:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about jack_sparrow [02:45] Hey Nick [02:45] Hi jack [02:45] !flannel [02:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about flannel [02:45] all gone :( [02:46] hello, does anyone know how to enable /dev/tcp in bash on debian/ubuntu systems [02:46] Furthermore, when I log into the new machine I don't get a $DISPLAY environment variable. [02:46] <_VIM_> lol the ops are !fishing [02:46] <_VIM_> :p [02:46] That was funny [02:46] bnovc: That's somewhat non-sensical, since in order for you to get the "the repos have moved" update, you'd have to have the repos available to update. [02:47] Flannel: no... if(repos don't exist) { print "could be network trouble OR youre too old and need to visit X" } [02:47] users with old versions shouldn't be expected to saerch for error messages and ask on irc to find out why they can't update [02:47] !/dev/tcp [02:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about dev/tcp [02:47] bnovc: That'd give way too many false positives when it is network trouble, and would cause more panic than it saves. The majority of people upgrade in a timely manner. [02:48] Flannel: Are there any plans that you know of to at least warn people that EOL is near / has come so we don't get as many questions about the repos being "broken" ? [02:48] Flannel: the majority of people that you know, perhaps? [02:48] bnovc: This is getting offtopic, if you'd like to continue this conversation, I'd be happy to continue it, but in #ubuntu-offtopic, not here. [02:51] Hi ppl [02:53] hey Shwail [02:53] Q: I want to start using linux, I heard a few years ago about ubuntu, meanwhile I asked about this around, and theres lots of people saying that there's other alternatives. So, why ubuntu and not other distributions? I'm a student, work a lot on audio, graphics, internet, etc, wish ubuntu has a version with that included. Any sugestion is appreciated. Tks! [02:53] bamhm182, hi ;D [02:53] sorry if someone answered my question, but I didn't see it. How do you kill a program that won't close? [02:54] Shwaiil: Ubuntu Studio would have all that stuff installed by default, however you can always install the "regular" Ubuntu, and then add the various programs (and thats probably a better bet) [02:54] Shwaiil That is offtopic for the support channel.. But we are a bit slow so.. Ubuntu Studio is what you want [02:54] !studio [02:54] UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org [02:55] thank you, I was just about to ask [02:56] I'm only getting stereo over spdif with "speaker-test -c 6", can anyone help me get 5.1? Here's my .asound.rc http://pastebin.ca/1323327 [02:56] if I was looking for a photoshop-like application for Ubuntu, Ubuntu Studio would work right? [02:56] I'm sorry I didnt knew this was the support channel and that my question was offtopic :D but thansk for your sugeston [02:56] bamhm182, I use Gimp... [02:56] bamhm182: GIMP is very near to photoshop and comes with Ubuntu by default ;) [02:56] bamhm182 Just gimp or gimpshop [02:56] alright [02:56] but.. didnt experienced ubuntu yet [02:56] thanks [02:56] bahm182: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1048693&highlight=force+quit That might be the solution [02:56] it's worth a shot [02:56] Gimp is really good bamhm182! [02:57] or a solution [02:57] * racecar-56 is back (gone 00:43:31) [02:57] something I recommend trying is the 3D cube effect once, and if, you get on Ubuntu, it's cool [02:57] Hey there, anyone here know why I'm not getting a $DISPLAY environment variable when I ssh into my new computer? [02:57] im back [02:57] (supporting info: I installed the Server Edition of Ubuntu .. maybe I need to install some missing packages?) [02:58] I had that installed last time I was on Ubuntu and it's neat, haven't got it installed this time yet [02:59] thanks for the force quit help vigo [03:00] If it worked, then I am happy [03:00] hello all [03:00] i am downloading Ubuntu 8.10 just want to know that now all ubuntu releases are supported for 18 mths ? [03:01] i mean apart from the LTS release [03:01] ? [03:01] hello ineedubuntuhelp [03:01] crap, I hit ctrl+alt+backspace thinking before I finished reading the sentence :P [03:01] G__81: That's how its always been yes. [03:01] Now I get to restart my download! :D [03:01] lol [03:01] oh well, at least it killed the update manager [03:02] does anyone know how to make the Screen license page not appear every time you start it? I've looked around in .screenrc but wasn't sure what to look for. [03:03] how can i install gas ? [03:03] !wifi [03:03] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:03] maximumbob: startup_message off [03:03] hi guys! [03:05] nobody is writing e? [03:05] i am so sad [03:05] ? [03:05] !offtopic [03:05] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:05] racecar-56, : hi [03:05] does ubuntu use a special encryption method? [03:05] like xp uses efs [03:05] Xintruder, : no [03:05] AETE_KRAOUD: This is a support channel, if you're looking for conversation, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, not here, thanks. [03:06] anyone else get a weird white line under your gnome panel when using cube rotate effect in compiz? its sort of like a tearing line right across the underside of the panel. its works fine, just a visual glitch i was curious about. [03:06] Flannel, : thanks ok [03:06] how can i encrypt my ubuntu, to keep it safe from attacks? [03:06] I've just got 1 more complaint about Ubuntu, I've got a USB bluetooth keyboard, and every time that I turn on my computer, I have to unplug the dongle, wait a few seconds, than plug it back in [03:06] want to know if anyone has setup a db2 express-c v9.5 instance on ubuntu and can use SQL Squirrel client to remotely connect to it [03:06] i am having a little trouble loading a driver. i wonder if anyone in here has any experience with that. i am trying to load a driver for an intel 5100 wifi card using the ndiswrapper tool for windows wireless drivers. the output of my "ndiswrapper -l" shows my driver installed, yet my "iwconfig" shows "no wireless extensions". i am told (on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper) to then use the com [03:06] does anyone have any tips to fix that? [03:07] Xintruder, : there is an option in ubuntu 8.10 [03:07] what option [03:07] i am told i have a driver "installed", but not "loaded"...not sure if this is the case (or even possible) [03:07] hello [03:07] i am using the IBM Net Driver (jdbc Type 4) [03:08] Xintruder, : the option to encrypt a filesystem [03:09] AETE_KRAOUD: where is it? [03:09] Xintruder what part of ubuntu do you want to encrypt? web access? disk access? [03:10] Xintruder, : ask maxxist :-) better :-) [03:11] can i install ubuntu into a usb and make changes there. not a live usb i mean [03:11] maxxist: AETE_KRAOUD told me to ask u [03:12] elysium444, yes. to some degree.. Theres that usb-disk creater tool that lets you have some persistant changes.. it works decently well. [03:12] anybody in here know anything about loading a driver? i am new to ubuntu and cannot seem to get it to work [03:12] elysium444, then theres doint an actual 'install' to a external usb drive.. but that can be more problemnatic [03:12] ineedubuntuhelp, tell the channel more details as to what 'driver' you are refering to. [03:12] Xintruder, : I have work bye :-) [03:12] bye [03:13] AETE_KRAOUD: ma 3indik ma 3nd jadity [03:13] elysium444 if you are trying to install ubuntu to a usb drive and use it as an bootable Operating System yes you can. follow up on Dr_willis comment [03:13] the driver i am using is the windows wireless driver, available on intellinuxwireless.org for the intel 5100...i have it on my desktop [03:13] Xintruder, : what ? [03:13] ma 3indik ma 3nd jadity [03:14] thanks guys [03:14] Xintruder, : in english ? [03:14] that is [03:14] it reads as "netw5v32" [03:14] and informs me that it is installed, with hardware present [03:14] i smell a troll. [03:14] ineedubuntuhelp, its possible that driver is allready installed in ubuntu,. then again its possible its not. You may want to check the ubuntu forums for that exact chipset - you may have to resorte to compiling it from source.. which can be a daunting task for a new user of linux. [03:15] Xintruder, : but what does it means? [03:15] AEi have work too, bye. [03:15] that sounds daunting...i upgraded to ibex, and was told ibex had native support for the intel 5100 [03:15] ineedubuntuhelp, if you compiled/ and installed it - and knew the module name, you could manually load the module. [03:15] ineedubuntuhelp, then it proberly does.. and its just a configuration issue you need to be working on.. not the driver issue. [03:15] Xintruder, : whatever whatever .................................................................................................................... [03:16] :) [03:16] jtaji: thanks. [03:16] even if i am getting a "no wireless extensions" readout from iwconfig? [03:16] Also, when I use gnome's terminal's transparent background feature... it always just shows through to the desktop image. And not very well at that. [03:17] Is there a way to use true transparency here or would I need compositing? [03:17] maximumbob, You would have to use the compiz features for 'true' transparency [03:17] how can i assign file permissions using the gui, rather than terminal [03:18] Xintruder, right click on the file -> properties - i think. :) [03:18] Dr_willis: darn. On my thinkpad, compiz breaks something. When I go to suspend with compiz enabled, my screen doesn't come back on when I come back. [03:18] Xintruder: right click and then it's an option in the properties window [03:18] also, dr willis: when you say configuration, do you just mean network configuration? [03:18] so.. i'm using Xfce, and need a calendar/PIM that can sync with google calendar.. any hints? [03:19] ineedubuntuhelp, yep. You may want to check out the wireless forums/threads on the ubuntu sites. - For my 2 wireless cards.. they just 'work' so i have no experience with troubleshooting the things. THey either worked for me.. or they were totally unsupported. [03:19] ok [03:19] i've use gpecal a lot on my n800.. but was wondering if there's a beter option [03:19] im going to check some of the network setup issues [03:19] thanks [03:19] !calendar [03:19] calendar is at http://fridge.ubuntu.com/event [03:19] Also, do you know how to fix the problem with compiz where it breaks the 'desktop array' thing at the bottom: The bottom half is always black [03:20] !list [03:20] Hi!

His faith is renewed :) [03:23] Hello all, I have a quick question. Is it possible to run multiple tunnels on a single box? like one tunnel to HE, one to another provider, etc. [03:23] i can't find /boot/grub/stage1 and i can't find /grub/stage1 ; why this is? [03:23] hi. I was wondering how to switch the default port for the http interface on vlc to something other than 8080. any ideas? [03:24] Joeseph, check the vlc homepage. and docs.. it has a HUGE section of well done docs.. its a command line artument/config file setting i imagine [03:25] the ubuntu install crapped out right at the end with some sort of grub error .. i want to install grub myself but can't find stage1 what gives? [03:26] When I ssh into my machine or do an su - I get about a 20 second lag... Does anyone know how to start troubleshooting something like that? [03:29] laughyn1nj4, possible the package failed to install. You could boot a live cd. chroot to the installed system and reinstall the grub packages [03:29] Hey everyone, have any of you installed the new ati graphics driver? [03:30] malibu -> look at the sshd_config file for resolving your host where you are logging on from [03:30] chroot to installed sys ... tell me more...what's the cmd line? [03:30] n8tuserf: Is that a yes/no kind of option? [03:31] !grub | laughyn1nj4 [03:31] laughyn1nj4: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:31] laughyn1nj4, 'chroot /media/mountpoint' and then there may be more to it then that. [03:31] i've done all that [03:31] Anyone want to help me out, I'm trying to install the new ati graphics driver but it won't let me sh it [03:31] malibu -> or maybe you can disable the GSSAPI authentications [03:31] laughyn1nj4, some times it just pays big time to learn the down and dirty detail of grub. [03:32] n8tuserf: That sounds more along the lines of what I need to do [03:32] does the usb-creator install ubuntu into a usb in a way that can save software changes and other system changes after reboot? [03:32] ok ... i'm trying. i know my ubuntu system is inttalled on sda2 ... so i must mount that somewhere then chroot to that mount point? is tthat correct? [03:32] Oh haha, nevermind i got it to work [03:33] is there a virtual package to get the proper packages for a basic dev environment set up? [03:33] laughyn1nj4, yes. b [03:34] laughyn1nj4, then one or more sections of the 'fix grub' docs - detils the commands needed to properly reinstall grub === __Grim76__ is now known as Grim76__ [03:35] hey [03:35] im trying to see what i have on secondary drive, but my linux box is only seeing the /boot on the secondary drive [03:35] would anyone know if the eeepc 900A has multitouch capabilities [03:36] ? [03:36] ok thanks. i'm off to hack away [03:36] I'm hunting for a netbook [03:36] Yipeeee! default is SeaMonkey [03:36] does the usb-creator install ubuntu into a usb in a way that can save software changes and other system changes after reboot? [03:36] elysium444: yes it can [03:36] it make a persistant install [03:37] kizer: thanks [03:37] sure [03:37] n8tuserf: how do I disable GSSAPI auths? [03:37] I suggest doing a normal install onto an hd and then just select where you want the boot loader installed [03:38] Oh and by the way. Kudos to Crunchbang linux!!! [03:38] a new offspring of ubuntu [03:38] I'm only getting stereo over spdif with "speaker-test -c 6", can anyone help me get 5.1? Here's my .asound.rc http://pastebin.ca/1323327 [03:39] malibu -> comment them [03:39] ok this is crazy. my sda2 partition says it's FAT16 ... i KNOW i told the partitioner to make it ext3 [03:39] n8tuserf: Yeah found it.. sshd_config [03:40] n8tuserf: Turning off GSSAPI didn't work [03:41] malibu -> did you restart sshd ? [03:41] laughyn1nj4, 'sudo fdisk -l' and look. It may be you are looking at a usb drive.. or somthng [03:42] n8tuserf: yup [03:42] malibu -> try to google for info on such [03:42] sudo fdisk -l is what i did to discover the FAT16 .... i just rebooted back to the live cd ... there are no usb drives connected ... [03:43] i tried to use prevu to build the jaunty version of nvidia drivers but got the following error: dpkg-source: failure: cannot open *.dsc: No such file or directory [03:44] n8tuserf: Yeah.. I will keep trying [03:44] laughyn1nj4 -> you may have told the partitioner, but did you tell the partitioner to write your selection? [03:44] Running out of search terms [03:44] can someone assist me on that prevu error? [03:45] i hit [next] or whatever ... thought the partitioner would write upoon next ... going on about the 15th attempt at this. [03:45] n8tuserf: This might be something... I just noticed console-kit-daemon using 99% CPU [03:45] laughyn1nj4, i tend to partition the disks first.. then tell the installer where to go to [03:45] how does one do that? [03:46] what other partitioner is there? [03:46] nickrud: are you familiar with prevu errors? [03:46] laughyn1nj4, fdisk, cfdisk, gparted, [03:46] hvgotcodes, no ... the one time I used it it worked flawlessly [03:47] hvgotcodes, and for me, that's necessary :) [03:47] n8tuserf: Awesome I think that was it [03:47] nickrud: what do you mean necessary? [03:47] try and try again as they say [03:47] hvgotcodes, because I don't understand the errors? [03:48] hello to all === mini-man_ is now known as mini-man [03:48] nickrud: oh, lol [03:48] malibu -> what was it? [03:48] i wonder if it failed because the package is in the restricted repo for jaunty [03:49] i removed iscponfig and i am getting this error with apache now : http://paste.ubuntu.com/111942/. anyone that can help ? [03:50] now the installer's partitioner reads it as ext3 ... i thought i told it ext3 ... wonder why fdisk says fat32? unexpeccted. [03:50] now apache always fails with that error if i try to start it [03:51] laughyn1nj4, some partitioner tools require you to 'apply/write' changes to disk. [03:51] albuntu: better uninstall apache, and delete all it's config files in /etc/apache2 [03:51] nickrud: does prevu only work on source packages? [03:51] hvgotcodes, that's it's purpose, yes [03:51] nickrud: so i cant use it to get a binary package [03:51] ok. this is the partitioner that comes up when you install ibex ... there is no apply/write ... only -->forward [03:52] hvgotcodes, no [03:52] is there a guest account enabled by default?? [03:52] not that i knew of [03:52] ari_stress: why is that ? isnt any simple solution because i have made many changes to the config files in apache and i dont remember all of them. i tried uninstalling apache and reinstalling it but that didnt help [03:52] n8tuserf: I'm reading a long big report right now on consolekit [03:52] fat16 ...that's ancient ... windows 98 used fat16 ! [03:53] albuntu: because uninstalling doesn't remove the config files [03:53] Apparently it was just fixed the other day [03:53] nickrud: i keep forgetting that any binary for jaunty wont work on intrepid [03:53] nvidia-180-glx should be valid right? [03:53] n8tuserf: It seems I got bit by this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/consolekit/+bug/284229 [03:53] ari_stress: you mean removing all the apache2 folder in etc ? [03:53] is there a guest account enabled by default?? in ubuntu 8.10 [03:53] n8tuserf: I need to run an update [03:53] albuntu: correct [03:53] ari_stress: ok let me try [03:53] hvgotcodes, no, it's nvidia-graphics-driver-180 (at least in intrepid) [03:53] join /#ubuntuforums [03:53] when i mount sda2 i can see all the dirs one would expect in / on a linx sys [03:54] hvgotcodes, the source file that is [03:54] it's there ... [03:54] Xintruder, no [03:54] hi..why do it get this error each time i update my system: W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 5DC4E17435661D98. anyone know what it means? [03:54] nickrud: thanx, i tried that same error [03:54] Xintruder, they have a 'guest' feature where you Login in as normal account and then if someome wants to borrow the pc.. you 'switch' to guest. account [03:55] hvgotcodes, try looking on packages.ubuntu.com for the name; I wouldn't be terribly suprised if it changed across releases [03:55] Dr_willis: so the guest account is enabled by default in ubuntu? [03:55] Dr_willis, there is? What's it's home? [03:55] nickrud: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/nvidia-glx-180 [03:55] the source package is what you said -- didn't work [03:56] what is the launchpad url i can try pinging it [03:56] hvgotcodes, if you look on the column on right, it lists the source package name [03:56] ari_stress: did everything that you said. now i get this trying to start apache : /etc/init.d/apache2: line 44: /etc/apache2/envvars: No such file or directory [03:56] nickrud: yes it is what you said [03:56] nickrud, it dosent have a 'home' its a special semi-account [03:56] hvgotcodes, nope, I had a typo: nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (drivers, not driver) [03:56] albuntu: i mean uninstall, remove the dirs, then install apache again, it will give you clean config [03:56] Xintruder, its not quite the same as a 'account called guest' its just a 'guest' feature [03:57] albuntu: use synaptic, re-install apache [03:57] nickrud: ah lets try that [03:57] Dr_willis, ah, thanks. [03:57] so ubuntu seems to be stealing my printer from my virtual machine. how do i "umount" a printer from ubuntu using the cli? [03:57] Dr_willis: windows has guest disabled by default. does that make ubuntu less secure? [03:57] nickrud: Success [03:57] ari_stress: thats what i did. --purged , removed the /etc/apache2 folder and reinstalled [03:57] ndar_cool [03:57] Xintruder, its not the same sort of thing.. comparing apples and oranges. [03:57] albuntu: is there any /etc/apache2 dir now? [03:58] Xintruder, Linux is more secure from the ground up due to how the filesystem/permissions work. for one thing [03:58] ari_stress: [03:58] no [03:58] plus the radically reduced number of targets, making it a much less productive hack [03:58] Dr_willis: i logged out ubuntu mate, i cant find guest. where is it located? [03:58] albuntu: what :) [03:59] Anyone know how I can make "cpio -i" output to a folder other than the one it is in? [03:59] nickrud: did i need to run prevu package in a sudo? [03:59] Greetings, quick question. Is printing to Novell NetWare printers still not supported by any package in Ubuntu? [03:59] i have a web cam on a machine that is behind a firewall, what is the best way to stream webcam stuff through the firewall? [04:00] something simple... [04:00] Is there a general way to do this inLinux maybe? [04:00] hi anybody here running utorrent in ubutu with wine [04:00] albuntu: Zard0z, find /blabla | cpio -i > /path/to/bla2 [04:00] hvgotcodes, only for the init; for the build you don't [04:00] nickrud: thats what i thought thanx [04:00] @ari_stress - rly? - thought I'd tried that! - Will try again - thx! :-) [04:00] Xintruder, guest is disabled... but by default the "normal" user has "root" priveleges in the system. [04:01] ok thank you === Daisuke_Ido is now known as Dr_Worm [04:03] I am trying to get Ubuntu working on my laptop with an Atheros (I think) wireless card internally. My AP is using AES and WPA2 personal. Ubuntu isn't installed as I want to prove I can have it working before writing to the disk. Can someone help me get wireless working? [04:04] ari_stress, no joy, I'm trying to decompress a CPIO filesystem withing a GZ to an absolute path... [04:04] Anyone know how to get sound working in 8.10/ === nn_ is now known as Guest20835 [04:05] keithclark: what card? [04:05] grendal_prime, not sure [04:05] Tried zcat /var/shit/initrd.gz | cpio -i >/var/shit/decompressed but that just gives me "/var/shit/decompressed/: Is a directory" :-/ [04:06] !ohmy | Zard0z [04:06] Zard0z: Please watch your language, attitude, and topic to help keep this channel friendly and helpful. Remember, there are kids here! [04:06] would "locate ~/.pilotmailrc" find this file if it resides anywhere on my computer? [04:06] Whoops - sorry! === herb__ is now known as herb [04:07] grendal_prime, how to tell? [04:07] My systemis full of mucky paths *blush* [04:07] Xintruder, you DONT log out.. You login as a normal user and then that user switching applet has the 'guest' thing... its not a 'normal account' [04:07] What's required to get plug and play working with usb keys and usb mice? === redstone is now known as oneunderthesun [04:08] <_VIM_> Fezzler: you might have to run 'sudo updatedb' first then type 'locate filenameGOESHERE |less' [04:08] Ok, anyone else help with no sound? [04:08] is there a way to get a live cd for powerpc macs? because as i understand, the alternate installer doesn't have live cd capability [04:08] nickrud: so prevu finished, now i don't see the new packages in synaptic. if they have the same name as the intrepid package, will it just be a straight update? Or should it still show up? [04:08] keithclark: alsamixer? [04:09] Pyles17, yes [04:09] hvgotcodes, when you did the prevu-init, did you tell it to use apt ? [04:09] keithclark: so you tried that. that's all i know [04:09] nickrud: yes [04:10] hvgotcodes, it should be there. Try updating synaptic [04:10] apt-get says the following packages will be kept back and then nvidia-glx-180 [04:10] The following packages will be upgraded: nvidia-180-kernel-source nvidia-180-modaliases === Guest20835 is now known as nn_main_2 [04:10] Dr_willis -> does it have an entry in /etc/passwd ? [04:10] keithclark: Try "sudo killall pulseaudio" [04:10] hvgotcodes, run apt-cache policy nvidia-glx-180 , and put the output on http://paste.ubuntu.com [04:11] nickrud: ok [04:11] n838901, it doent have a pasword.. so i would guess no. === bizkit_ is now known as bizkit [04:11] hvgotcodes, you've never said why you need the latest jaunty by the way [04:11] Anyone here want to help me out with a question? [04:11] is plug and play supposed to work out of the box? [04:12] carpediem, thats the one! [04:12] !ask [04:12] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:12] ddelong4: please, just ask [04:12] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com:80/111945/ [04:12] keithclark: cool [04:12] nickrud: want to see if latest nvidia drivers makes kde go better [04:12] OK, in less smutty language! "zcat initrd.gz | cpio -i" works fine if my current dir is the one I want to unzip it into, is there any way to make this output to an arbitrary folder other than cd'ing into it first? [04:12] carpediem, is that permanent? [04:12] hvgotcodes, ok, the same for the kernel module source [04:12] hi, i get this error when trying to run etracer " X11 driver not configured with OpenGL" [04:13] Lol, okay. After installing Ubuntu, I just realized that I cannot burn or read any type of disk. I cannot mount nor open them. [04:13] wolter: pretty straight forward what the problem is there [04:13] nickrud: whats the package? [04:13] nvidia-180-kernel-source [04:13] bruenig, what do you mean? [04:13] ddelong4: what happens when you try? [04:13] keithclark: pulseaudio is alpha at best, they never should've included it as the default in Ubuntu. It needs the occasional kick in the butt....especially after things like hibernate, hung flash player, etc. [04:13] One moment. [04:13] wolter: the error message is quite explicit [04:14] carpediem, cool! Again, is this fix permanent? [04:14] bruenig, well, it may be for you, but do you have any idea of how could I fix it? my xorg.conf has nvidia as driver. [04:14] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com:80/111946/ [04:14] bruenig, I use compiz... [04:14] keithclark: I have to run that command every so often....so if you lose sound again, run it. [04:14] This is what I get when I try to mount. Cannot invoke CheckForMedia on HAL: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. [04:14] carpediem, excellent now that I know that! [04:15] hello everyone im getting this when trying to update: W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 60D11217247D1CFF [04:15] what's the different between a PATCH cable and an ETHERNET cable? [04:15] hvgotcodes, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 . That should install the new one, and build the kernel module from that last package [04:15] jeancalvin, 2 wires are crossed over. [04:15] I need to buy a cable that connects from router to back of my computer [04:15] keithclark: you can always remove pulseaudio from your system, but then you are no longer running "ubuntu-desktop" which I definitely don't recommend. [04:15] nickrud: roger roger [04:15] Dr_willis: which do i need? [04:15] jeancalvin, normal cable woll work [04:15] wolter: program must be wrong then, edit the source code of it so it doesn't trip that error [04:15] Dr_willis: which is normal? [04:16] bruenig, yeah sure, like [04:16] !info etracer [04:16] ..i am an expirienced coder.. [04:16] Package etracer does not exist in intrepid [04:16] jeancalvin, normal ethernet cable.. the ones you will find 99.99999999999999999999999999% of the time [04:16] what is etracer [04:16] carpediem, I will deal with the problem with the cl you gave me for the time being [04:16] Dr_willis: so i do NOT need patch? [04:16] bruenig, i got it from the add/remove [04:16] bruenig, extreme tux racer [04:16] nickrud: now if the kernel gets upgraded am i going to have issues? [04:16] Are you saying, Dr_willis, that I need ETHERNET cable? [04:16] jeancalvin, unless ya got some old hardwqare/special needs. Not likely [04:16] Dr_willis: I'm not sure the ratio is quite *that* high. [04:17] hvgotcodes, the new kernel system should autobuild this stuff for you now. But it's good to keep in mind [04:17] that's a lotta 9s [04:17] pls confirm, coz i'm buying online. [04:17] jeancalvin, for a PC to PC network WithOUT gigiabit cards.. you need a patch cable [04:17] wolter: yeah well if you are using compiz it must be that you have opengl, so if that program is throwing that error, you need to patch it [04:17] Dr_willis: RE: gigabit cards--- do I have those? [04:17] wolter: there may be a force option to it also, you might see [04:17] when i try: autossh -i /root/.ssh/chef_tunnel -p 24000 -nNT -R 6400:localhost:4000 chef-client@foo.dyndns.org ... then: telnet localhost 6400; i get Connection Refused [04:17] if i reinstall firefox, will all my addons be deleted? [04:17] Dr_willis: in my computer, i have a NIC card [04:17] nickrud: only one more -- and if it does break stuff and i am stuck in CL, how can i go back to the default intrepid driver? [04:18] rory096: no, they are stored in your profile in your home directory [04:18] carpediem: thanks. does that also go for files the addons use (like sessions for sessionmanager, etc)? [04:18] anyone? [04:18] bruenig, ok [04:18] rory096: yes [04:18] So, anyone know why I can't mount either of my 2 cd/dvd rw drives? [04:18] carpediem: thanks [04:18] hvgotcodes, does this card work with the normal nv (free) video driver? [04:18] Dr_willis: i'm buying online, so i can't get customer service as well as in a store. thanks. [04:18] nickrud: nooooooooo [04:18] ari_stress: ok i solved this problem. now the strange thing is that the browser gives me a php file output instead of executing the php file [04:19] hvgotcodes, ah, glad I asked :) . [04:19] nickrud: i understand [04:19] ;) [04:19] jeancalvin: post the link to the cable you're trying to buy? [04:19] rory096: if you look at .mozilla/firefox you'll see all your stuff in some form or another. You can even back that folder up if you are concerned. [04:20] is there a liveCD for powerpc macs? or is the alternate installer a liveCD as well? [04:20] herb: http://tinyurl.com/bffcc3 [04:20] hvgotcodes, I would expect that sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180=180.11-0ubuntu1~intrepid1 to do the trick. You probably won't have 3d accell without more work though. [04:20] carpediem: perfect. you, sir, are a god [04:20] bruenig, well, i think i will wine the windows version.. should work flawless, right? [04:21] rory096: back up the whole .mozilla folder if you do [04:21] herb, that links says "patch" but it does say it will conect computer to cable modem/router. Dr_willis says i most likely don't need patch. i'm confused [04:21] carpediem: ok [04:21] nickrud: but i should be able to recover right? [04:21] jeancalvin: that will be fine for what you're trying to do. [04:21] i see [04:21] rory096: you can even copy that .mozilla folder to other computers, even Windows, and your settings/themes/extensions/bookmarks will go with it. [04:21] hvgotcodes, what that does is force apt to install that exact version number: refer to the apt-get policy that I had you pastebin, that's where the number comes from. [04:22] how do i make 'while true ; do ssh HOST ; done' ... occur on every system startup (ubuntu hardy) [04:22] nickrud: i get it. you have been awesome and i really appreciate all the help. [04:22] i have an apache problem. i get apache to give me the output of a php file instead of executing the file. anyone that can help ? [04:22] wolter: don't use wine when there is a native version [04:22] jeancalvin, you almost never need a patch cable for domestic networking stuff - the devices tend to be able to autodetect and use either - it would be very odd if you needed a patch cable to connect a domestic router to a domestic modem. [04:22] bruenig, well, it doesn't work... [04:22] hvgotcodes, if there's a kernel mismatch, the driver should still work, just not have 3d acceleration. At that point, you'd still need to do kernel surgery, and I'm not positive without actually doing it myself or seeing a system in that condition what steps would be needed [04:22] wolter: fix it [04:23] Pyles17: there is a livecd for powerpc. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/intrepid/release/ [04:23] bruenig, help me to [04:23] kansan: look at /etc/rcX.d where X is the runlevel you want it to run at [04:23] herb, thanks [04:23] what is the xf86-video-savage package for? Will it help fix my nVidia kernel modules (as I was told by someone)? [04:23] hello everyone im getting this when trying to update: W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 60D11217247D1CFF [04:23] Pyles17: sorry, not live CD, install CD. [04:23] wolter: just crack open vim on the source, you should be able to search for that error message and then remove the conditional statement that leads to it [04:23] kansan: if you put it in there and chmod +x it will run at that runlevel on startup [04:23] nickrud: when i tried to do a CL install of the nvidia driver from the nvidia package i encountered a api mismatch -- the x server wouldn't start so i had to remove the new driver, and everything worked [04:24] herb: that's what i thought, thanks anyway [04:24] bruenig, its not a warning, its an error. [04:24] hvgotcodes, from the nividia site? [04:24] nickrud: would not forcing an install of the default (proprietary) driver for intrepid restore everything to normal? [04:24] oh wait, nevermind [04:24] nickrud: yes from teh nvidia site [04:24] i don't think they make liveCDs for powerpc. it's not even officially supported [04:24] Pyles17: if you want a live CD there is one for hardy which is the latest LTS. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/hardy/release/ [04:24] i think i just found out why firefox isn't working: i have 0 bytes of free space on my hard drive [04:24] Pyles17: the desktop CD is a livecd. [04:24] hvgotcodes, all things being equal, yes. But the equal is the question:) [04:24] aehhhhhhhhhh [04:25] herb: thank you [04:25] in related news, i'm an idiot [04:25] wolter: like I said, search for the error message in the source and remove the conditional statement that triggers it [04:25] nickrud: well i have another machine with irc ;) thanx again for all the help -- normal guys like me wouldn't be able to tinker like this easily without help from people like you [04:25] Pyles17: it's not officially supported, but I'm running it on an old G4, though as a server, not a desktop. [04:25] @rory096 - LOL [04:25] rory096, if you were an idiot, you'd still be angry at us cuz we couldn't fix your firefox :) [04:25] wondering is someone could help: I have ubuntu 8.04.. sometime within the past two weeks my system started stopping while doing any of the following: logging out, restarting, shutting down... each time I have to press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to complete the action [04:25] Pyles17: I know the intrepid CDs had some issues. so installing/testing from hardy is probably the best plan anyway. [04:26] herb: cool cool. thanks. issues aren't good when trying to get people to switch [04:26] raz0o0x, sounds like something isn't terminating, don't know what butthat's what it sounds like [04:26] Pyles17: really not [04:26] Pyles17: good luck [04:26] nickrud: heh. thanks for your help. [04:26] herb: thanks [04:27] hi people [04:27] Pyles17: welcome [04:27] hi [04:27] kindofabuzz: how can i find out what might not be terminating?

[04:30] j-b-r. quite a few [04:30] bruenig, its free... what are you talking about? [04:30] j-b-r, we're lazy [04:30] What's the command to mute (as in not see their messages) someone in xchat?

[04:31] i have problem too with my x server when i restart my computer its give me black screen befor the logins winds [04:31] WebcamWonder: the key [04:31] adred: Could you pastebin your sources? [04:31] /ignore bobbob1016 [04:31] That would ignore your own message ;-) [04:31] WebcamWonder: right away sir.. [04:31] any girl here? [04:31] hi, can anybody run extreme tux racer game? [04:31] prmdk_, why would you want to know? [04:31] * nickrud doesn't need that to ignore Cpudan80 , it comes naturally :) [04:31] i dont know bro im new i download cd from the home page and i install [04:32] i just want to have a chat with a girl [04:32] lol nickrud [04:32] prmdk_: This is a support channel, try #defocus [04:32] Can someone give me a hand? I need to mount my cd/dvd rw drives and get this error message "Cannot invoke CheckForMedia on HAL: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."

[04:33] I mean, it would be awesome if there were more girls that liked this stuff... [04:33] can someone help me with configuring sound on an old compag presario? [04:33] Matr|X: I see.. thats fine.. the new version is intrepid ibex. If you just installed, in my opinion the easiest way to have both is to run your windows installer, set your partitions beforehand(you will have to delete your current install of ubuntu), install windows onto one of the 3 partitions and then run the ubuntu installer to install your system on the other 2 partitions [04:33] WebcamWonder: here... http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m14aca9c2 === Charitwo is now known as clock [04:34] bkaps: the only type of configuring i would do with a presario is to configure it straight off a 100 foot cliff [04:34] adred: Gimme a minute [04:34] second to that motion [04:34] WebcamWonder: it's okay,,take you time.. === clock is now known as Charitwo [04:35] is it sometimes NOT appropriate to convert rpm to deb with progs like alien? [04:35] well the laptop is for a friend. He doesnt have anything else [04:35] linux_guy: It certainly doesn't always work out nicely, yes. [04:35] I updated from gcc-4.2.3 to gcc-4.2.4, vmware broke , how can revert to old gcc version [04:36] Matr|X: there are other ways, but to have the easiest setup that is what I would do [04:36] I need to create a configuration file for a program called pilot-mailsync I need to name the file ".pilotmailrc" Can I use any text editor to make it? [04:36] bkaps: understandable. let me do some google-fu [04:36] linux_guy, it's almost never appropriate [04:36] Flannel, I'd like to get a prog called KGuitar for guitar tablature. its an rpm file though. HOW can I tell if I should convert it or not? [04:36] ok thanks that would really be helpful [04:37] Fezzler: yes [04:37] linux_guy, why not just do sudo apt-get install kguitar ? It's in the repos [04:37] can ubuntu ONLY use deb? for packages? [04:37] phorensic: And I do include the "." in the file name? [04:37] linux_guy, for packages, yes. [04:37] I updated from gcc-4.2.3 to gcc-4.2.4, how can revert to old gcc version [04:37] linux_guy: Yes, however some rpms can be converted with alien [04:38] so there is no rpm manager for ubuntu? [04:38] adred: Try commenting the OOO repository, and then run a sudo aptitude update, see if it complains [04:38] linux_guy: no rpm is a different package management system [04:38] because ubuntu is debian based, not some stinky hat right? [04:38] linux_guy, there are other ways to install stuff: prebuilt binaries (usually a .bin) and compiling among others [04:38] Fezzler: yes [04:38] wow lots of people in here [04:38] anybody have any idea how to get directx running in wine in ubuntu? [04:38] is anyone here familiar with 64bit flash? [04:38] sup root_____ [04:38] phorensic: txs [04:38] anybody have an opinion on what the best small distro would be for old hardware [04:38] WebcamWonder: okay [04:39] flash is making my firefox segfault, it makes me very sad [04:39] Shii: technically, nspluginwrapper segfaults :) [04:39] bkaps, puppy or dsl are popular; you should investigate distrowatch.org for various options [04:39] WebcamWonder: nah i am using the Adobe alpha [04:39] it was working perfectly before [04:39] i wonder why kguitars page only shows rpms [04:39] i updated some packages, now, segfault [04:39] Shii: Weird, I haven't had any problem what that [04:39] Shii: with* [04:39] i have tried puppy nickrud but i cant get the integrated speakers in the laptop to work [04:39] Anyone in here switch from gentoo to ubuntu [04:40] I had only Ubuntu installed onto the computer. i then repartitioned the hard drive to add an NTFS Windows part., and installed XP. however, the closest thing to a [04:40] ugh [04:40] linux_guy, try apt-cache search kguitar , it will tell you it's already a deb available from the repos [04:40] root_____: i did, but ages ago [04:40] anyone know how to rebuild my kernel with new gcc compiler? [04:40] I updated from gcc-4.2.3 to gcc-4.2.4, how can revert to old gcc version [04:40] oops; closest thing to a GRUB only allows me to select between WINXP and WINXP :P [04:40] im having trouble deciding which way to go for my home system [04:40] i like both [04:40] so when i want software, i should look in repo first, THEN, home page, then google etc? [04:40] what are some good CLI apps? [04:40] bkaps, I've not used either, just know they're popular [04:40] linux_guy: Yes. Add getdeb in between there as well [04:41] bkaps: best is a matter of opinion.. obviously you should look at systems that dont use a ton of addons and intense code.. ie a light window manager/desktop manager etc [04:41] nickrud, oh ok sorrycompaq presario 1275 [04:41] linux_guy, yeah. If you see something on the net that looks interesting, check the repos. 98% of the time it'll be there [04:41] mg vim [04:41] and i check the repository how, exactly? i usually look in add/remove [04:41] n8tuserf: love VIM! [04:41] <_VIM_> someone say VIM? :) [04:41] need more CLI apps [04:41] phorensic, yeah that makes since [04:41] linux_guy: Synaptic [04:41] sweet [04:41] linux_guy, ah. that's a limited list. system->admin->synaptic package manager, that's your friend [04:42] you guys are the best [04:42] linux_guy: Or if you are a CLI kinda guy, aptitude is your friend :) [04:42] anyone know what this bootup error means? http://paste.ubuntu.com/111949/ [04:42] bkaps: sometimes going onto distrowatch.com (maybe .org??) is a good reference [04:42] * linux_guy is down for a challenge sometimes [04:42] WebcamWonder, you an aptitude full screen dude? [04:43] phorensic, yeah i looked at dsl on distrowatch but there were problems with xvesa on my computer [04:43] anyone know what this bootup error means? http://paste.ubuntu.com/111949/ [04:43] nickrud: I prefer doing things with aptitude, yes. Much more flexible and faster [04:43] linux_guy, stick with synaptic for a bit, till you get a better feel for packaging. Then aptitude can be really powerful. [04:43] What is a good RSS program that notifies by either a balloon or a libnotify box of new items in the feed? [04:43] phorensic, its old hardware but forced to run a slower xorg [04:43] Royall: how did the firmware update go? [04:43] nice, NOW, I use gnome, but KDE software 'works' .... Is that supposed to be like that? === obake-kun is now known as obake-san [04:43] In vlc, I can open a stream over the internet... but whenever the web interface changes files, it plays locally instead of over the network..... any idea how to fix this? [04:44] linux_guy, yep [04:44] linux_guy L yes [04:44] n838901: For the drive? I think I told you, I had the module bay disabled in the BIOS, it wasn't the firmware [04:44] then WHY say its for kDE [04:44] bkaps: if u want a challenge there is LFS [04:44] why not just say its for *nix [04:44] becaused it's made using kde libraries... hence it's made for kde [04:44] pyles17, did you ever find any thing on google [04:44] linux_guy : you have the kde libs installed [04:44] Royall: oh yeah haha. lot has happened since then [04:44] but there's a level of interopability [04:44] anyone know what this bootup error means please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/111949/ [04:44] phorensic, LFS? [04:44] linux_guy, it's just a different set of software that writes to the screen; but it's still the same screen [04:44] bkaps: linux from scratch [04:45] * linux_guy is glad you guys are so damn smart [04:45] where can i find like a place with linux game developers, i mean, channel.. [04:45] ? [04:45] phorensic, i dont have the techinical know how [04:45] I tired LFS once [04:45] gotta run, battery's dying [04:45] The computer was sooo slow [04:45] thanks again [04:45] It literally took 6 days to compile GCC [04:45] ugh [04:45] youtube works but google video segfaults [04:45] bkaps: i see .. they have a guide you pretty much follow along [04:45] LFS teaches a lot. I spend nearly a year messing with that before I was satisfied [04:45] After that I was like, "forget this" [04:45] what's the difference between youtube and google video? [04:45] wow gcc took 6 days? [04:45] phorensic, where? [04:46] anyone know what this bootup error means please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/111949/ [04:46] j-b-r: ouch [04:46] O_O [04:46] why are random other things segfaulting? [04:46] for me it took 6 hours [04:46] It was a 486, I think [04:46] phorensic, just google LFS i guess? [04:46] i have a 686 [04:46] Shii: memtest perhaps? [04:46] :> [04:46] j-b-r, that's hard to believe; I never --- a, mine was a celeron [04:46] Is there such a think as a console jukebox app? [04:46] bkaps: linuxfromscratch.org [04:46] lol [04:46] phorensic, that would make since [04:46] WebcamWonder: how do i memtest? [04:46] I dunno, I think it probably just died after the first day and I never noticed [04:47] Shii: LiveCD has an option for it [04:47] bkaps, that's excellent for learning, but not for your main system unless you're a masochist :) [04:47] man i don't want to livecd, i just want to watch this video :( [04:47] nickrud, i could always use the know how [04:47] bkaps: Yah i think i remember gcc being 24x the base standard unit [04:47] Shii: Just to make things clear, memtest checks your RAM for instability, etc. [04:48] yeah i know... i'm kind of worried about that [04:48] i built this box myself and the hardware has always been awful [04:48] i'm attempting "memtest 12MB" to start with [04:48] phorensic, i think im going to try this LFS thing [04:48] Shii: Have you considered switching to nspluginwrapper? [04:48] bkaps, find something that you can use, and then build lfs from that. You need a working linux install to work with lfs in the beginning, anyway [04:48] WebcamWonder: i'd love to but the instructions are kind of confusing [04:48] bkaps: if you dont have a lot of time id suggest something else [04:49] Shii: Google for scripts. They take care of everything [04:49] nickrud, would old hardware work for that [04:49] bkaps, think of it as your custom car you're building in your garage: You still need a car to get to and from work. [04:49] bkaps: you could try xubuntu [04:49] i have ubntu on hard disk 40 i use full hard disk to install ubntu , if i want to install windows , qtparted and rsize the 40 giga and make 10 giga for windows and then install windows is this good / [04:49] phorensic, i just wont sleep and i had lots of problems with xubuntu [04:49] Matr|X: depends what you have for windows, remember windows is a memory hog you may want more [04:50] no 10 giga is enogh [04:50] but [04:50] Matr|X: you probably want 1-2GB for swap space too [04:50] yea [04:50] its done [04:50] nickrud, so if i have a main laptop and then this old computer than that should work right [04:50] bkaps: oh really.. bummer, === root_____ is now known as holidaystyles [04:50] in ubuntu when i click the windows partition it gets mounted autometically , but how can i mount it in the startup [04:50] gotta restart [04:50] brb === holidaystyles is now known as supersix4our [04:50] bkaps, yes. Actually, [04:50] so if i resize my hard agine on ubntu this will do eny thing with my ubntu ? crash or some thing [04:50] bkaps, use the old one as a server. [04:50] i should install ubntu agine ? [04:51] phorensic, i acctually got fluxbuntu to work for a while but got fed up with fluxbox [04:51] after mount , the mount command show "/dev/sda5 on /media/Data type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096)" [04:51] Matr|X: remember you are going to have to reinstall or update grub to be able to boot to either OS, windows will over write the mbr and hide ubuntu [04:51] what shld be the fstab entry if required [04:51] ah [04:51] nickrud, its really old im not sure if that will make a difference [04:51] so how to update grup ? [04:51] bkaps: Ive pretty much stuck with gnome since Ive used ubuntu, I want to try enlightenment one of these days [04:51] I have a program that I just installed into wine. every file is write protected and I need to install an update [04:51] WebcamWonder: it's okay now.. looks like both the AWN and OOo 3 repos can't go along. If I uncomment either of them, I get the error. While if I comment both of them, I don't get the error. But I suspect the OOo 3 repo is causing the problem since AWN repo was doing fine before I adde the OOo 3 repo. Anyway thanks so much! [04:52] !grub | Matr|X [04:52] Matr|X: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:52] is there a way to change permissions on all of the files at once? [04:52] WebcamWonder: i ran the nspluginwrapper GetFlash script and now it shows no plugins at all! [04:52] phorensic, enlightenment looks nice have you tried beryl [04:52] bkaps: beryl is now compiz and comes with ubutnu, so yes I have.. i also used beryl ack in edgy when it still had issues [04:52] adred: Both of the repositories could be signed actually. I am not sure, since google didn't turn up a lot regarding those keys [04:52] bkaps: Beryl is dead, has been for a long time. It's merged with Compiz now. [04:52] Shii: That was fast, what script did you run? [04:53] r124 [04:53] too slow ryanprior i win [04:53] phorensic, well i haven't been using it and was just curious [04:53] ah... having problems with supertuxkart as well [04:53] phorensic, what is compiz? [04:53] Shii: What? [04:53] !compiz | bkaps [04:53] plz tell me the size shouldi do for ubntu system [04:53] bkaps: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [04:53] nspluginwrapper 1.8.6 [04:53] bkaps: I currently use it on both of my computers.. compiz is beryl under a new name.. to simplify things [04:54] HELP: how do I change the the file permissions of an entire directory with directories under it? [04:54] ikonone: -R [04:54] ikonone: man chmod [04:54] bkaps: I think technically compiz was around first, then forked and then beryl wasborn, and they re-merged?? [04:54] Matr|X: What do you mean the size you should do? [04:54] oh... [04:54] tyh [04:54] ty [04:54] SquareHimself: stop trolling [04:54] phorensic, i see [04:54] i mean i will partion my hard disk again [04:54] bruenig: I think rtfm is good advice, thank you very much. [04:54] bkaps: Which ubuntu are you running right now? [04:55] !rtfm | SquareHimself [04:55] SquareHimself: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [04:55] PERIOD! [04:55] real quick, what is 'sudo -s' [04:55] Hi I really need some help to prevent my system from being instable. I just upgraded to 8.10, but during the upgrade it asked for a password, which I didnt enter correct.. now I have received a message saying that there was an error during the upgrade and that I need to run a command to continue the upgrade. The problem is stupid me didnt write the command down. What's the command to continue/restart the the upgrade? [04:55] phorensic, bkaps: Beryl was created when the community felt that the Red Hat-controlled Compiz project wasn't responding to outside developers, and once the Red Hat guys got on the ball, the Beryl developers helped to merge their changes back into Compiz. [04:55] WebcamWonder: I see. As far as I can remember, both AWN and OOo3 how-to did not have any instruction about getting keys whatsoever. Now I know what causing the problem. Maybe I will contact the maintainer for a heads up.. thank you! [04:55] bruenig: i'm new here. [04:55] linux_guy, signs you in using root. [04:55] bruenig: I'll keep it in mind ;) [04:55] so the ext3 for ubntu partation 2 giga , 4 giga or wht i dont know [04:55] phorensic, hardy [04:55] adred: No problems [04:55] SquareHimself: it's ok, just be aware, we hope to keep our users ignorant [04:55] Matr|X: do you want to just resize or are you going to reinstall both over? [04:55] thought so, so that's kinda dangerous [04:55] Matr|X: You probably want between 10G and 20G for /, then the rest for /home. [04:55] yes [04:55] linux_guy: it's the same as "sudo so". What you really want is "sudo -i". <-- Bryan_Sierra [04:55] beautiful it worked [04:55] ty [04:55] ryanprior, that makes since [04:55] now great [04:56] sudo -i [04:56] 21 giga like the cd asking me [04:56] bruenig, now now :) SquareHimself man something is good, with a pointer to what to look for ;) [04:56] ? [04:56] ugh.... firefox-plugin-gnash is really bad [04:56] linux_guy: yes [04:56] 11 giga i think [04:56] bkaps: makes sense, even [04:56] bkaps: yes hardy should have compiz installed, you just have to enable the features.. have you tried installing ccsm? [04:56] what's -i? [04:56] 11 giga ext3 + 2 giga swap ,, am i right ? [04:56] linux_guy: a switch, just like -s. [04:56] phorensic, on synaptic [04:56] tritium, thats being really technical. They're more or less the same. [04:56] bkaps: sure! [04:56] Hi .. I am running a linux system and I want to install ubuntu 8.10 - I don't have the alternate CD -- Is there any way I can install ubuntu without having to burn the CD / usb disk ? [04:56] Bryan_Sierra: slight differences. [04:56] I have lilo etc. ready [04:57] !info ccsm | bkaps [04:57] Package ccsm does not exist in intrepid [04:57] ive loaded all my pictures on f-spot photo manager .. they are all jpeg .. but when i double click to open it doesnt open the file to view .. is there some sort of plug in i need ?? [04:57] Matr|X: I would probably to 15 for windows 2 for swap and the rest for ubuntu, and install windows first [04:57] probably stuff i shouldn't mess with.... just yet [04:57] bkaps: it will be under compiz config settings manager [04:57] duryodhan: You can use Lubi, or you can netboot, or you can use a VM, or you can ask Launchpad for a CD through the mail. [04:57] wht is windows file system i will make ,, ntfs , fat32 , or wht [04:57] phorensic, ok i will search for that [04:57] 'sudo rm all the work i've done' [04:57] ryanprior: ahhh i see thank you for the info [04:58] 15 for windows , 2 for swab rest for ubntu is cool for me :D [04:58] phorensic, yeah i guess it is installed already [04:58] phorensic, how to configure [04:58] bkaps: oh if you type in ccsm at a command prompt or alt-f2 it will load the compiz manager and you can configure there [04:58] so wht is the best file system for c/windows partion is fat32 or ntfs caz i want ubntu read the c:/windows partion [04:59] bkaps: some of the settings require that you have 3d rendering enabled [04:59] does a 64-bit game server offer any advantage over 32-bit server on either 32bit or 64bit machine? [04:59] Matr|X: ntfs [04:59] Matr|X: NTFS is far better than fat32, but you can install EXT3 support for Windows. [04:59] MatBoy, ntfs is less open than fat32 but its the technically superior file system. ntfs works good in linux, so its best for you to use ntfs. [04:59] Matr|X: ubuntu is cool and can read all those file systems, windows is not coo and cant read linux filesystems without help [05:00] hi.. got dced -- anyone have any solutions ? [05:00] No one knows? [05:00] eross: If the server has >3GB of RAM, it won't be able to use (address) it all on a 32-bit system. Also, 64-bit systems are inherently faster on a 64-bit capable processor. [05:00] but i make install the last time windows ntfs file system ubntu not read drive c :/windows [05:00] hey [05:01] how do I restart an interrupted upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10? [05:01] Matr|X, you just need to have the proper entry in /etc/fstab to mount the windows drives.. People often overlook that step in the installer. [05:01] * ame_ looks around [05:01] I just thought of something, I've got a Zune, I'm 150% sure that Microsoft hasn't and probably won't port the Zune software to Ubuntu, does anyone know of another method to connect my Zune to my Ubuntu PC? [05:01] ok, it has 4Gb of ram.. so I could host two game servers and still be able to play my own fps noob shooters, or use applications on it with little problem? [05:01] RealKillaz: Uh oh. What happens when you start update-manager? === ame_ is now known as unixbomber [05:01] bamhm182, if you are lucky - it can be seen as a normal usb thumbdrive. [05:02] !zune [05:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about zune [05:02] I seriously doubt that'd work Dr_willis, but it's worth a shot [05:02] hello [05:02] bamhm182, No idea. I dont plan on ever owning a zune :) or ipod [05:02] bamhm182, im sure goggle knows! :) google knows all [05:02] bamhm182, Zune might work in Songbird, not sure [05:02] It said system is up to date and the 8.10 option is gone. [05:02] Dr_willis, word :D [05:03] is it possible to autostart virtualbox image as soon as i logon in ubuntu ?? [05:03] I tried google [05:03] ryanprior: It said system is up to date and the 8.10 option is gone. [05:03] I will try songbird [05:03] RealKillaz: I read that. In that case, I don't know what you should do. Keep asking, though. [05:03] ive loaded all my pictures on f-spot photo manager .. they are all jpeg .. but when i double click to open it doesnt open the file to view .. is there some sort of plug in i need ??

Apple iPhones, iPod Touch and Microsoft Zune devices are not yet supported." [05:04] hmm wait mayeb it doesnt [05:04] hahahha [05:04] ah, damn [05:04] what were you saying johnnyredl?

[05:05] alright, I'll give it a shot [05:05] Delvien: Or unplug the internal speaker from the mobo. [05:06] I installed openssh-server, but when I attempt to ssh to my IP the password doesn't work. Do I have something configured incorrectly? [05:06] Delvien: echo 1 > /proc/sys/stfuplz [05:06] bamhm182, i also found 'qlix' in the repository, that can do Zune [05:06] what version of Grub is included in Ubuntu 8.10?

I used to know, but I forgot [05:07] WebcamWonder: "http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz" is 404 [05:07] makes me wonder what they needed to patch [05:07] i'm betting that's why nspluginwrapper doesn't work [05:07] jra: Yeah, grub works fine for me without Ubuntu patches. [05:07] Shii: Get flash player 10 please. 9 is horrible at its best [05:07] SquareHimself: one does wonder why... [05:07] i did... that's the one that segfaults on google video [05:08] jra: Indeed. [05:08] you told me to try nspluginwrapper to resolve the segfault :v [05:08] I downloaded the Ubuntu 8.10 iso, shouldn't it be on my desktop? [05:08] Shii: Flash player 10 for 32 bit which you can run from nspluginwrapper :) [05:08] ohhh, i see [05:08] or does Ubuntu move it somewhere when it's done downloading?

This computer hates me [05:11] now to go download Ubuntu 8.10 for the 3rd time :D [05:11] Delvien, try disable all system sounds, thats what i do [05:11] miik that isnt really a solution [05:11] bamhm182: Torrent :) :P [05:11] anyone know how well netbeans runson ubuntu vs. gentoo? [05:11] bamhm182: hmm maybe saving the iso or burning it to a disk is a good choice? [05:11] Delvien: There actually is a file somewhere that you can touch or echo 1 to or something that disables the system beep on a kernel level. I forgot what it was though, and hated myself a little, so I lashed out at you. =P [05:12] ryanprior: rmmod pc-speaker (I think, not sure) [05:12] pcsp [05:12] is there another program to get access to the phonebook? [05:13] WebcamWonder, pcspkr [05:13] tried it with moto4lin, but i just got access to the filesystem [05:13] supersix4our: Most Java benchmarks I've seen run about as well on Ubuntu as they do on Gentoo, so I doubt you'd see a big performance delta.

[05:16] bamhm182: that's why you use torrent files for ISO images [05:16] ryanprior: Thanks! [05:16] vegombrei: right click on the picture and select to open in whatever program you wish [05:16] I installed openssh-server, but when I attempt to ssh to my IP the password doesn't work.

(i am on kubuntu 8.0.4) [05:42] so if i want to make a guest account for other to ssh into the server i better make unprivileged profile? [05:42] oops! sorry [05:43] !grub [05:43] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [05:43] shii, the KWin works properly, though :) [05:43] This is the first time I come to this channel and I can see that it is completely Useless. I'm and advanced Linux user and I can solve most of my problems myself but this is just another RTFM channel... RTFM is not Ubuntu!!!!! [05:43] crossing fingers, my upgrade from hardy to ibex is about to complete [05:43] what is your question Beserkur? [05:43] therootest: kubuntu is different... i'm not sure what their window manager is, is anyone familiar? [05:43] kde === bouncing is now known as panteersman [05:44] well, yeah... but the WM broke separately [05:44] shii, i have to choices for window managers: compiz or Kwin :) the first doesnt work. === panteersman is now known as pants [05:44] try opening up a terminal and running Kwin [05:44] Ubuntu is the most useful linux around, with the support of MINT but this channel is a disgrace [05:44] oh i see what you're saying === pants is now known as plunked [05:44] Berserkur: your question? === plunked is now known as cheesepeel [05:44] Mint ftw [05:44] try asking now that you have some different peoples attention.. [05:44] hmmm... I just realized that I have never seen compiz tunning on KDE [05:45] or better yet, running [05:45] pulseaudio is not picking up my sound device anymore but when i run alsamixer in terminal it comes up fine any ideas? [05:45] Shii: kwin --replace worked :) now im on kwin. [05:45] great! [05:45] Berserkur, #linux is better channel [05:45] !mint [05:45] The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [05:45] Berserkur: And Arch is a better distro, that is if you really are a more 'advanced' user. [05:45] Shii: No question. I've stopped asking. I wanted to ask about the constant kernel panic but now I can see that I have more chance of solving that problem by asking Linus Torvalds while I'm drun [05:46] k [05:46] yeah, that's kind of tough for this channel [05:46] !mintsupport [05:46] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint on irc.spotchat.org [05:46] can't exactly have kernel hackers hanging out here 24/7 [05:46] WebcamWonder: dude there's no application in that menu .. thats why i asked if there was a plug in [05:46] please, we all know that the superir distro is Slackware [05:46] vegombrei: Excuse me? [05:46] Shii, yeah that would be unproductive :) [05:46] the superior distro is *windows 7* [05:47] lets not bother the kernel overlords :D [05:47] Berserkur: what seems to be the problem you're having with this channel? [05:47] slackware is hard to install back in 2002 i think [05:47] not high enough support... [05:47] help, extreme tux racer giving me "X11 driver not configured with OpenGL" [05:47] SquareHimself: nonsense. Ubuntu is based on debian, and doesn't take a backseat to arch in terms of being just as useful for "advanced" users. [05:47] 10:46 < WebcamWonder> vegombrei: right click on the picture and select to open in whatever program you wish [05:48] tritium, Berserkur gets a kernel panic but nobody's been able to help [05:48] WebcamWonder: in regard to f-spot [05:48] tritium, BLASPHEMY [05:48] tritium, Repent [05:48] tritium: But Arch is better because of control over the system. [05:48] tritium: And many other things [05:48] anyway, I want hulu.com to work quite badly, so I guess I will install 32-bit arch over this old thing, hohoho [05:48] vegombrei: Right click on the picture itself, after you have it in the expanded window after single click [05:48] SquareHimself: nonsense [05:48] tritium: Not at all :D [05:48] SquareHimself, Speed don't forget the speed [05:48] meh, why don't we all just erae the partitions and install FreeBSD? [05:48] * Jim_Raynor ducks [05:48] SquareHimself: I've done all that shit. I've used slack, gentoo and the rest of them. Now I want to relax. That means... I wan't a new device to work when I bring it. Or a device to work without 10 minutes of work to get it to work... I bet you know what I mean [05:48] tritium, What are the packages for Ubuntu -i386? [05:48] wtf [05:48] Berserkur: language, please [05:48] fuck i386 [05:48] Thurin1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:49] Thurin1: you too, language [05:49] WebcamWonder: im doing that ... it has an option in its right click menu that says open with .. and there's nothing there .. so i figured i dont have the application [05:49] tritium, So how you lubbin i386? [05:49] Berserkur: Then you've never used Arch. [05:49] Been able to turn your Ubuntu's into semi Apple clones? [05:49] Berserkur: buy a mac and stop whining [05:49] hy [05:49] Thurin1: "lubbin"? [05:49] Have you been discussing ways to window up Ubuntuz? [05:50] vegombrei: That is weird. I think it should pick that up by default. Although it has been some time since I used that app [05:50] ubuntu rox... [05:50] tritium: I'm sorry if I spoke ill but the problem I have is that the people that speak in this channel are not representing the Distro in a good manner [05:50] Berserkur: that's because more people are here for help than to help [05:50] SquareHimself: you've evidently not learned how to "control" the system via debian/ubuntu methods. [05:50] tritium: I have, I don't like it. [05:50] tritium: Nuff said. [05:50] tritium, God sakes .. don't compare Debian to Ubuntu [05:50] SquareHimself: not liking it doesn't mean it doesn't exist [05:50] tritium, Ubuntu can run maybe a week without issue - Debian perhaps years [05:51] please spare me [05:51] lol [05:51] Thurin1: they're quite related [05:51] WebcamWonder: yeah ... i loaded close to 50k pictures ... took all day for the damn thing to import .. and now all i can do is view them as thumbnails [05:51] SquareHimself: To be honest, I have not. I figured it would be kind of the same as early slackware [05:51] Berserkur: Not even close [05:51] tritium, Well duh - but they are not identical - go look in the Debian channel [05:51] Do you see a mountain of problems? [05:51] Berserkur: Better package management than ubuntu imho [05:51] no [05:51] why ? [05:51] SquareHimself: But ofcourse when it comes to the Kernel. It's not the same [05:51] Berserkur: It's easy [05:51] vegombrei: Even though I am on gnome, I switched to kde's photo manager. It isn't horribly broken like f-spot [05:51] Thurin1: you exaggerate.

[05:53] Berserkur, Virtual machine ;) [05:53] SquareHimself: please stay on topic, or leave [05:53] Berserkur: Arch is what you make it, not made out of the box [05:53] Thurin1, I reboot for kernel upgrades. No other issues. Ran unstable/experimental for years, this is far more stable. So. Anyway, this is not a question for here [05:53] tritium: right right, my apologies. [05:53] nickrud, My kernel is panicking in Ubuntu what do I dooz? [05:54] Thurin1, what did you do to it? Got any diagnostics? [05:54] Thurin1: You're a terrible troll. [05:54] That actually did happen btw [05:54] SquareHimself, LOL [05:54] Thurin1: please stay on topic, or leave [05:54] nickrud, I installed Apache - and boom kernel panic upon reboot [05:54] vegombrei: Just ask :) [05:54] :( [05:55] is there someway i can get 2.6.28 kernel on 8.10 - maybe some experimental repository ? [05:56] by compiling it yourself ;) [05:56] ahh... i mean other than that... [05:56] think no, if nobody made a ppa [05:56] sandGorgon, there is an 'experimental' repo at kernel.org with all versions [05:56] nathanhelp: i imported about 50000 pictures in fspot .. took all day ... i can only view them in thumbnail .. if i double click it does nothing and when i right click and goto the open-with option theres no application to open it with [05:56] <[OBACRON]> can someone help me I am having a problem uninstalling bacula-director-mysql I have tried apt-get remove --purge bacula-director-mysql but it is not working is there a way to manually remove a program [05:57] sloopy: oh... you mean i can use dpkg with that ? [05:57] SquareHimself: To be honest. I've tried so many linux distros and unices that I've seen that id doesn't really matter what you do it's all fundamentally the same unless there are some major phlilosophycal or legal differeces between the two os'es [05:57] sandGorgon, no, would have to roll your own [05:58] vegombrei, it could be that fspot is still generating thumbs.. often they are placed in ~/.thumbnails.. if Fspot is busy it may not be able to open the full rez of the pic. [05:58] <[OBACRON]> anyone? [05:58] Berserkur: Just try Arch and thank me later. Plus, stay on topic so I don't get kicked out of here [05:58] [OBACRON] -> how did you install it? [05:59] hey can anyone tell me what "[ 57.715066] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!" mean? [05:59] [OBACRON]: i wish i could help you, but i cannot. But i think the people who can are too busy arguing about inane matters of who distro is bigger. Sorry.... [05:59] Arch is not my answer becouse I'm fed up with having to make everyting work by myself. [06:00] SquareHimself: that's not helping [06:00] He didn't ask for arch linux help. [06:00] <[OBACRON]> is there a way to manually remove a apt from the apt installed list [06:00] tritium: I don't think this guy can be helped anyways, so I might as well propagate. [06:00] try Mint, it's what Ubuntu should be [06:00] kindofabuzz: then why are you in the Ubuntu channel?

I've used linux for a long time. I like all the scripts and code that Ubuntu makes to make things automated and that's why I don't thing why arch will get me going.

Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [06:08] grinn, is it doing this while booting from the CD or from a previously installed and working system?\ [06:08] I seem to remember when I went through a pulse audio install guide that there was a bug about PA halving the volume sometimes and some script I had to run to ensure it was configured right... anyone know about this at all? [06:08] !VirtualBox [06:08] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [06:08] Jim_raynor: Well, I meant to say. "And that not Linux!!" But that's another issue. My suggestion is try and get a single bug report about the issue. Right now I feel like there are so many bug reports that the developers can't work them out [06:08] izinucs, what does lshw mean? :) [06:09] sloopy, it was coming up every time i booted from a previously installed and working system [06:09] wers, list all hardware [06:09] Berserkur: Have you tried asking in ##linux, perhaps they are a bit more greared to kernel panics? [06:09] grinn, i would venture to guess a corrupted kernel as most likly, but bad HD, or RAM also secondary possibilities [06:10] i think we need a bug consolidation drive.... get everyone to take a bug, search for it on the database and merge it with another [06:10] ooh irssi is neat [06:10] Thurin1: there were i686 kernels in the past, but the performance gains were so minimal, that the diminishing returns for maintaining a separate variant were simply not worth the effort. [06:10] sloopy: i'm being led to believe it's the kernel, because i've also gotten "tried to kill init!" [06:10] i386 performs so closely on modern hardware anyway, that i386 and amd64 are adequate choices [06:10] Jim_ranour: And whe problem is that when intrepid was released, they thought that it was only a single wireless chipset to blame but I actually thank it's the WPA code to bame. However, I am not a coder so I can't make a significant argument in that matter but that's what I think [06:10] <[OBACRON]> man [06:11] sandGorgon, and then keep mergeing them until there is only one bug left, fix that bug and bam! ubuntu is perfeckt! :') [06:11] ive found a good solution to my isp's dns problems, ive set up an ssh tunnel to my dedicated server and browsing through it, getting msn, everything else to connect to the local socks proxy which forwards everything to the dedicated server over ssh [06:11] does anyone know how to find the MAC ID of a bluetooth mouse via Ubuntu?

[06:12] WebcamWonder: No I haven't. Maybe that's something I should have done... rather that being pissed at ubuntu. The thing is that ever since I started to use ubuntu I got more ignorant and more focused on the actual work I was doing on the computer [06:13] Berserkur: Yes, that tends to happen. The only reason why I don't go chasing after . I spend a lot of time programming, I don't want to spend the rest of my free time tinkering with my OS all the time [06:13] nickrud, that is a bug... but its too complicated to be fixed yet... other things need to be fixed in ubuntu berfore that one can be closed [06:14] * nickrud swears he was saying the same thing about brain bit rot and linux [06:14] s/linux/ubuntu/ [06:14] Hi, my screen resolution is messed up. I can't see the screen that lets me change the resolution it is so big. I can however ssh into it from another machine [06:14] What should I do [06:15] Alex_21: kill it [06:15] I have no problem editing config manually [06:15] Just tell me how [06:15] could someone help me perhaps execute the steps on this page? (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/274884) I'm not familiar with how to do this... [06:15] hey guyes [06:15] WebcamWonder: So maybe it's more upstream that I thought? But, I would think that this issue would be solved much earlier becouse of all the servers that are Linux driven [06:15] does anyone have any experience using TorK? [06:15] Alex_21, your res is fine, its your monitor is too small (or reconfig X) [06:16] WebcamWonder: Which leads me again to the WPA to be the blame [06:16] are drivers stored on the card, like the graphics card or somewhere on the HD? [06:16] WebcamWonder: But I haven't found any bug-reports on that issue [06:16] Berserkur: It just might be some application creating this havoc. Again, most people here aren't kernel hackers to begin with, or even server admins [06:16] SusanIsMyName: files on the hard drive [06:17] sloopy: i ran a memcheck earlier and nothing came up [06:17] I had it fine and then changed the resolution [06:17] Then now I can't change it back [06:17] damn thing ran more than 11 hours [06:18] Hey. I just created a netinstall ubuntu boot usb drive. When I reboot something is weird. My screen is filled with "GRUB", keeps spamming.. doesn't seem grub is loaded correctly? [06:18] Alex_21, nvidia? [06:18] grinn, yeah my laptop will run the memcheck for hours on end, but the ram in the machine is still bad... [06:18] WebcamWonder: Ohh, that I know for a fact. The fact that I got irriated was becouse when I came in here I saw some RTFM comments and that does not fit Ubuntu [06:18] ok so if i was installing solaris and my card needs to have xorg driver then i will have to save the driver to a usb and then text install solaris and transfer the driver over and boom i have gui [06:18] SusanIsMyName: no [06:19] WebcamWonder: Even the "ubuntu" (word) does not fit that [06:19] hi, Launchy is the alt+f2 in linux ubuntu ? right ? http://www.launchy.net/index.html#introduction [06:19] Berserkur: when did you first start having kernel panics? [06:19] Help. I am having a panic [06:19] Berserkur: Well, some people to get fed up after being asked questions like how to perform a recursive copy. So they reply with man cp [06:19] tritium: A few months ago [06:19] hi there, im having issues with video playback. its stutters and wants to leave the window when it gets dragged by the mouse cursor. I have loaded: amarok, codeine, elisa media center, kmplayer and totem. the audio players work fine. but I think I am missing something somewhere. files I have played in the player/s: .avi .divx, .mp4, all get funky during playback.....helpers??? [06:19] My screen res is too big [06:20] sloopy, without anything coming up? i've had this machine for a little over a month [06:20] Alex_21, I asked if you had an nvidia card [06:20] QCJN, alt+F2 does the same thing launchy does in most window managers/desktop environments [06:20] i am looking for a clean compact professional gnome theme [06:20] plese suggest a few [06:20] Berserkur: which release? Do you recall a specific event, upgrade, piece of hardware you installed that triggered it? [06:20] UpChuck_Norris: thanks [06:20] tritium: At first I just thought it was the open-source ATI (radeon) xorg driver begin unstable but at the same time i Upgraded to Intrepid [06:20] No, I don't think so [06:20] grinn, does it boot at all? if so try reinstalling kernel first [06:20] No problem [06:21] tritium: why would not that work [06:21] It is a Powermac G4 [06:21] tritium: I've learned that fglrx has nothing to do with it. It panic's anyway [06:21] SusanIsMyName: different systems altogether. [06:21] Not so much of a ubuntu question but does anyone know of a pdf creator/converter program available for linux? [06:21] Yes, an online service exists [06:21] sloopy, i just reinstalled from liveCD ... it's currently resizing the partition ... that doesn't reformat my drive, does it? [06:21] doseryder: File -> Print -> PDF Writer. Done :) [06:21] Alex_21, ah... don't know much about them.. but you can sudo lshw in terminal and your vid card will be listed there.. perhaps you don't have the correct driver installed yet. [06:21] doseryder i think firefox has an addon for that [06:22] grinn, it could... [06:22] Help, I can't see the buttons on the screen to readjust it [06:22] Berserkur: So, when it first started, what had just changed? A new kernel update? New hardware installed? Anything you recall? [06:22] how do I create an amazon ec2 ubuntu-server image? [06:22] does anyone have any experience using TorK? [06:22] tritum: get envy. [06:22] WebcamWonder: you mean within Open Office(writer I should say) [06:22] how do I create an amazon ec2 ubuntu-server ami image? I don't want to use an existing one. I want to create my own. [06:22] Alex_21, you can see the window, but part of it is of the screen? [06:22] It was working fine until I messed with the res settings [06:22] WebcamWonder: That's is very true. But if the get fed up with those questions they should part the #ubuntu channel because they don't belong here anymore [06:22] off* [06:22] thomas1978c: was that for me? [06:22] yes [06:23] * izinucs talks to himself sometimes [06:23] tritum: envy at albertmillone [06:23] <_2> thomas1978c tisk tisk [06:23] doseryder: OpenOffice as a built in PDF exporter. But there is a virtual printer installed to convert to PDF as well, hence can be used from any application [06:23] izinucs, do you reply back when you do? [06:23] Yes [06:23] thomas1978c: again, are you trying to tell me? (That's not my nick) [06:23] Berserkur: Very true. But if that happens the signal to noise ratio here might go up exponentially :D [06:23] sloopy, of course :) [06:23] envy is a program that installs ati/nvidia drivers automatically [06:24] It is cut off partially [06:24] <_2> !envy > thomas1978c [06:24] thomas1978c, please see my private message [06:24] tritium* sorry [06:24] !envy | thomas1978c [06:24] thomas1978c: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [06:24] hi every1 [06:24] izinucs, good, wouldnt want you to be lonely [06:24] tritium: Same hardware. Just a new update from hardy to intrepid. I've been a laptop user for some time now and nothing has changed. I can give you the product number if you like :D [06:24] Just hold ALT and click the window to move it [06:24] You can click anywhere on the window [06:24] sloopy, sometimes I have my most entertaining conversations that way [06:24] thomas1978c: I don't need it. You shoudl also know that we don't recommend using envy. [06:25] izinucs, yeah i know how you feel... give me a peer to conversate with... [06:25] WebcamWonder, ty sir :) [06:25] doseryder: No problems [06:25] does Ubuntu need a separate program to burn ISOs, or does it come with one? [06:25] Berserkur: ok, so upgrade from hardy to intrepid. Have you inspected any logs under the /var/log/ directory for clues? [06:25] bamhm182: nautilus (installed by default) can burn isos. [06:25] WebcamWonder: And you're very correct aswell. However... If you are a true Linux/unix user and you want to spread the word... You have to think about what you are saying/doing! [06:25] bamhm182, right click an iso, select burn [06:26] bamhm182, the defacto standard is k3b.. it's in the repo's [06:26] alright, thanks [06:26] Berserkur: Exactly. That is why I tend to hit the close button on my IRC when I am fed up as well :) [06:26] I just need something that can burn the Ubuntu 8.10 ISO [06:26] http://albertomilone.com/envyngfaq.html#A [06:26] so I think the built in one will work fine [06:26] Alex_21, does alt+click to move the window work for you? [06:26] Berserkur, WebcamWonder it's been interesting, but it's getting repetitive. Chat on -offtopic, please [06:26] izinucs: that might be a true statement for kubuntu. On ubuntu, standard is nautilus. [06:26] this will get your video card working. [06:27] Hey. I just created a netinstall ubuntu boot usb drive. When I reboot something is weird. Instead of booting up the installer, the screen screen is filled with GRUB..and keeps getting spammed with it. What does it mean? [06:27] My card was working but the stupid res I messed up [06:27] !envy | thomas1978c [06:27] thomas1978c: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [06:27] anyhow, can anyone help me find out what's wrong with my video playback? [06:27] tritium, true but I haven't had much luck with it.. I tend to throw more disk away [06:27] tritium: Yes, kern.log doesn't say anything. Dmesg is the usual and messages is normal. It's panicing to hard to write to disk I think [06:27] thecookie, a mistake somewhere during the creation? [06:27] nickrud: I would gladly wrap up the topic. I am sorry, never realized we drifted off-topic here [06:27] <_2> tritium i think he meant that k3b is "top of the line" and i kind of agree, even if it's not a gtk app [06:27] ENVY WORKS [06:27] izinucs: perhaps something peculiar to your hardware [06:27] You said you couldn't click the button to apply the resolution because it is off the screen [06:28] WebcamWonder, everyone does, I get hit with the offtopic factoid too [06:28] thomas1978c: please don't recommend it here [06:28] Can you hold ALT and click and drag the window so you can see the button? [06:28] oh, ok, I didn't know [06:28] tritium, maybe but it followed me even after I rebuilt the machine [06:28] tritium: The only thing I haven't tried is to make a serial connection to another computer to record messages... My IBM Thinkpad T60 doesn't have a serial connection [06:28] I can't see the button [06:28] Berserkur: have you searched launchpad for bug reports for the issue you're havign? [06:28] I thought this was ubuntu help? [06:28] nickrud: Maybe. I'm using an automatic tool for it [06:28] izinucs: strange. [06:28] tritium: Yes [06:29] I know you can't see it, can you move the window so you can see it? [06:29] _2: more featurefull, yes. That does not mean "de facto standard", however. [06:29] Holding the ALT key and dragging the window should move it [06:29] tritium, I know.. so I live with it.. I also like the looks of k3b :) [06:29] izinucs: cool :) [06:29] tritium: I haven't found a solution. However... Many peoble seem to have the same problem and that's what worries me [06:29] can anyone help me with my video problem in here? [06:29] Berserkur: what kernel are you running now? There have been 3 updates in the past 2 days, or so. [06:29] thomas1978c, it is' that's why we don't recommend envy, we've seen many issues because of it. there's a thing called Works for Me™ :) [06:30] nickrud, I see. ty [06:30] thomas1978c, what problem, what video card, etc? [06:30] It is too big. It won't move [06:30] no, it's a codec/playback issue [06:30] thomas1978c, what's up. what's happening? [06:30] <_2> tritium true dat, poor choice of words maybe... i'm reminded to "never assume malus for something ignorance can explain." [06:30] hi, i need to install drivers for my webcam ... how do I go about finding the "device managaer" for starters please ?? [06:30] Dang, I hoped that would work [06:30] video files of all types stutter [06:30] Any other ideas [06:30] thomas1978c, not flash specifically? [06:30] !webcam | gwark [06:30] gwark: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [06:31] tritium: I'm up to date. I aslways update straight away... Because of this problem: 2.6.27-11-generic [06:31] izinucs, yes they flash at about half second intervals [06:31] wow... this is taking FOREVER to download [06:31] Can you post your xorg.conf (It's located in /etc/X11/xorg.conf)? [06:31] WebcamWonder, thankyou :) [06:31] An easy site is http://pastebin.com [06:31] Yes [06:31] last couple times it downloaded much quicker, must have chosen the wrong server this time [06:31] Ok [06:32] thomas1978c, no.. I mean flash based videos.. only those or other videos too based in h.264 or avi or mpeg4 etc.. ALL of them or just flash? [06:32] could be going slower I suppose, so I should quit complaining [06:32] Berserkur: no matches on launchpad at all? Have you considered filing your own bug report? [06:32] if solaris uses xorg for gui stuff wat deos ubuntu use? [06:32] tritium: You see, I am not used to be a bleading edge user. Used to use freebsd before Ubunty came to play [06:32] SusanIsMyName: Xorg as well [06:33] izinucs: hi there, im having issues with video playback. its stutters and wants to leave the window when it gets dragged by the mouse cursor. I have loaded: amarok, codeine, elisa media center, kmplayer and totem. the audio players work fine. but I think I am missing something somewhere. files I have played in the player/s: .avi .divx, .mp4, all get funky during playback.....helpers??? [06:33] <_2> !bug > Berserkur [06:33] Berserkur, please see my private message [06:33] SusanIsMyName: the word is "what", not "wat". Try it, you'll like it. Typing one extra character isn't that hard... [06:33] Berserkur: I understand. [06:34] tritium: To be honest. I didn't even thing of filing my own bug report because I found a few that matched my exact problem but were never solved. I though I would only be adding one more drop to the sea [06:34] thomas1978c, do you have any restricted video drivers installed? like nvidia or ati? [06:34] Berserkur: yes, you'd not want to create a duplicate bug. You should suscribe to the ones you found, and follow their progress. [06:34] izinucs: ati, using ****ng [06:35] thomas1978c: we don't support envyng [06:35] ubottu: Sorry... reading [06:35] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:35] tritium: You're right. That's my bad [06:35] tritium< I got that already [06:36] Berserkur: that's ok. What laptop do you have? [06:36] thomas1978c, not saying it is and not saying it isn't but .. maybe it the latest greatest driver the ****ng installed.. or something that ****ng didn't configure correctly [06:36] tritium: IBM Thinkpad T60 [06:36] Berserkur: hmm, surprising. [06:36] izinucs: it's the only thing that has worked for my ati integrated 3200hd card [06:36] tritium: Exactly [06:36] ati drivers won't do it [06:37] Berserkur: have you perused http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki ? This is the best resource for Thinkpad owners running linux that I can think of. [06:37] thomas1978c, sort of.. might be the next release will give you better support.. I have issues with my motherboard.. I have to have pci=nomsi in the kernel line even to boot. [06:38] Berserkur: and, is your firmware updated to the latest? [06:38] <_2> thomas1978c and maybe it's a conflict between the special ubuntu tweeks and the fact that ****ng expects un-tweeked un-distroilizationed xorg/kernel/blah blah blah .... but that's the reason that ubuntu doesn't support that script. because it's not made specificly for ubuntu [06:39] tritium: It's not old but I'm not sure if it's the newest. Let's just say it's not factory firmware :) [06:39] that's lame [06:39] I feel like a three legged dog [06:39] Berserkur: I'd start by making sure it's the latest. [06:39] <_2> thomas1978c country dog in the city ? [06:39] I have a brand new 100 dollar rig and I can't load linux on it and have my hardware working. I don't think im asking too much. [06:40] yeah you got it @\ [06:40] 2\ [06:40] whats your guys favorite editor? [06:40] 1000.00* [06:40] hi. i had a login issue, think its a bug. but b4 i research and report, i have two tty processes running (one console, one gui), and from the gui i cant shut down. how can i tell which tty to kill? [06:40] batcoder: nano [06:40] I'm back and the xorg is still messed [06:40] Here is the file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/111959/ [06:40] this is a bummer [06:40] I dumped vista completely. not like I was gonna kep it anyhow [06:41] <_2> thomas1978c i agree, now if your hardware maker will just listen to you, and release the code for their "propriatary" junk.... [06:41] but it would be nice to watch a farking movie [06:41] raxial, even for programming ? [06:41] I know, ****suckers [06:41] tritium: Thanks, I'll try that. Maybe that's even the problem. Not company firmware and not the newest. I'll try that Idea [06:41] tritium: Thanks [06:41] batcoder: that'll teach me for just jumping in :)....no I wouldn't use nano for coding [06:42] just general text editing [06:42] Hi, well, I still have a screen res that is too big [06:42] <_2> raxial vi ? [06:42] And I can't graphically change it [06:42] what do you guys use for programming ? [06:42] _2 ati's website has linux support for my card supposedly. it doesn't work at all [06:42] Have you tried running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg?" [06:42] Hello- Do any of you have any suggestions as far as video editing software goes [06:43] man I wish I knew java well enough to just write my own [06:43] WebcamWonder, how do I go about finding out what kind of camera my webcam is? its a VP_EYE brand (in windows) off ebay [06:43] batcoder: I've used Bluefish a few times...it did the job [06:43] Berserkur: sure, and don't forget that thinkwiki.org resource [06:43] <_2> thomas1978c your card is too new ? mine is too old. i know the plite [06:43] you guys like Scite Or Gedit? [06:44] gwark: Not sure. I have 0 experience with webcams [06:44] ok thanks :) [06:44] how can i build an amazon ami image for ubuntu 8.10 server? [06:44] is there a device manager for ubuntu like as in XP ? [06:44] hello canwe install dot net or not [06:44] gwark, you could try lsusb, and google the xxxx:xxxx code [06:44] _2 yeah its their latest and greatest creation, the integreatd card. it pulls from my system memory up to 3gb [06:44] awesome Nickrud thankyou [06:44] imoet [06:45] I've posted the 'w' output, if that helps http://paste.ubuntu.com/111961/ [06:45] _2 as soon as I can watch a movie, ill attack trying to load games [06:45] is wine best for that? [06:46] thomas1978c, xp is best for that [06:46] oh, btw, nexuiz and other linux fps load fine [06:46] tritium: Don't worry. I've used it many times. :) The problem is though that the "advanced windows user" is filing bug report's on "Linux" aka ubuntu these days so I find it harder to solve problems when I get stuck [06:46] ce_cute [06:46] nickrud: I have an sli system for that [06:46] tritium: but thinkwiki.org it is! :) [06:47] <_2> gwark the device manager would be the tools that list insert and remove kernel modules, namely: modprobe lsmod rmmod and insmod, that working via udev pretty much makes up the linux device management. there may be gui tools that will call those same tools for you... idk. [06:47] nickrud: I just wanna play with this card some [06:47] Berserkur: good luck :) [06:47] nickrud; it's a nice card. I wanna see wether linux can use it [06:47] thomas1978c, I follow you: but I stopped being a gushing first adopter a long time ago. I hate anemia [06:48] <_2> gwark also if you need information about your hardware, lshw is quite good. [06:48] thomas1978c, I only got an 8800gt 6 months ago, wanted to be sure it had decent support, first [06:48] It worked, thanks [06:48] thomas1978c: which card? [06:48] _2 thanks man ...... 0c45:613c Microdia was what I was searching for [06:49] Hmm, now the second issue. I just installed yesterday and can't figure out why the sound isn't working. Any ideas? [06:49] tritium, its an ati radeon integrated 3200hd [06:49] tritium: I think you very much for actually helping me because I am really drunk. You are one of the guys that help the FSF, OSS, Ubuntu and Linux [06:50] Berserkur: no problem === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [06:50] <_2> !sound > Alex_21 [06:50] Alex_21, please see my private message [06:50] <_2> Alex_21 you can start there ^ [06:50] Cool, on the sound, I don't have much experience in that area [06:50] thomas1978c: that'd definitely supported already on linux [06:50] that's what they say [06:50] Someone else would probably be better help than me [06:50] but ****ng is all that will work for some reason [06:51] tritium, do you know why? [06:51] could someone tell me what the cmd at the login of a 2nd terminal is to kill that terminal/session? [06:51] Thanks though for your previous assistance Chuck_Noris [06:51] thomas1978c: are your desktop effects disabled? [06:51] Thanks though for your previous assistance Chuck_Norus [06:51] Thanks though for your previous assistance Chuck_Nores [06:51] <_2> simon_r exit [06:52] tritium: Where are you from anyway? Why are you still up? :D [06:52] tritium, no my windows are juicy [06:52] floppy and cool [06:52] thomas1978c: that may be the problem. Try disabling desktop effects, and see if that helps. [06:53] Berserkur: I'm always up late. [06:53] hhhhhhhhhhhh [06:53] h [06:53] h [06:53] h [06:53] h [06:53] h [06:53] cahaya-05: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:53] 2: it asks for p/wrd then says incrrt login. I'm ctrl-alt-f1 to the terminal that I'm trying to end [06:53] tritium, ok [06:54] hey guys [06:54] does anyone here use privoxy [06:54] <_2> simon_r you can't kill a login tty. what is the intent ? [06:54] tritium: Well, I'm always up. Even though I have to get up in the morning. Most of the time I only sleep 3-4 hours a night when I'm working [06:54] What is the command to shutdown via commandline? [06:54] Alex_21, shutdown, or init 0 [06:55] i had a login issue, now have two ttys going. cant shutdown from gui tty (dont know which is which), so think i need to kill one of the ttys [06:55] Alex_21: you need to use sudo with that. [06:55] Alex_21: shutdown -h now [06:55] tritium: Kind of my biggest problem. I alwayis find something good to do when I'm going to sleep [06:55] Berserkur: yep [06:55] whats the shell command that displays hardware again [06:55] tritium: which is probably why I'm here right now. Hahahahaha [06:55] Ok, so why won't my sound work? [06:56] anyone using the launchpad ppa for OOo 3? [06:56] alex_21: halt [06:56] adam__: lshw, lspci (for PCI), lsusb (for USB) [06:56] <_2> simon_r console tty login is spawn by "init" if you kill it it respawns instantly. tty7 is normally reserved for the gui if you are lost in a lower tty try switching to tty7 alt+f7 [06:56] It is a Powermac G4 and I can't figure out why alsa says there is no sound device detected [06:56] tritium: even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while!!!!! tyvm. I feel numb for all the crap I've gone through. [06:56] WebcamWonder: thanks [06:56] roy_hobbs: yeah [06:57] unbelievable [06:57] <_2> simon_r also if you need to reset the computer from a tty try the old three fingured salute ctrl+alt+del [06:57] neeco: Do you know what this partial upgrade is all about? [06:57] hi, can someone help me learn about "themes" in general? [06:57] and here I was installing, uninstalling, drivers, sware [06:57] Blind squirl and blind people, ... Smiley, ... Blind_Techie munches on cashoes [06:57] niccce [06:57] anyone? [06:57] :) [06:57] how can I add scripts for logout/shutdown ?? [06:58] thomas1978c: that worked? [06:58] yup [06:58] I'm glad. [06:58] how do I run a gnome command (one that needs a session) without running a real session? [06:58] i want to ask i cant open my subtitle in dvd player? [06:58] cahaya-opr, hi [06:58] 2: i can switch btw. tty2 and tty7. i restarted gdb, but couldnt work in channel 0 as x was already running, so it opened in ch 1. I just want to basically retart the computer [06:58] how to handel it [06:58] alex_21: what are cashoes? walking money? [06:58] im using ubuntu [06:58] c0l2e, add script-links to the init related directories; i.e. /etc/rc*.d/ [06:58] is anyone good with themes? [06:58] hai halo [06:59] thomas1978c: I think he means "cashews" ;) [06:59] hey all, I want to install a Sound Blaster card in Ubuntu Hardy. I had this working, but I am moving it from my old PC to my PPC machine. How do I install the drivers via CLI [06:59] Please [06:59] c0l2e, for example, rc0.d is shutdown; rc6.d is reboot [06:59] so now that I have that solved. who knows about webcams in here? [06:59] Does anyone here convert videos for the iPhone in Ubuntu? I've been trying every method on the help page and coming up with pretty substandard results. [06:59] tritium, I got that, but I liked the spelling [06:59] <_2> c0l2e for shutdown scripts are called from /etc/rc0.d/ and for reboot they are called from /etc/rc6.d/ [06:59] thomas1978c: indeed [06:59] rdw200169: hmm ok [06:59] <_2> simon_r also if you need to reset the computer from a tty try the old three fingured salute ctrl+alt+del [06:59] how to find utf-8 code? [07:00] how to install it? [07:00] roy_hobbs: to upgrade or to not upgrade? this is the question... [07:00] c0l2e, i'm looking for a good link on this that explains it... gimme a sec. [07:00] <_2> simon_r or: sudo init 6 [07:00] how to find utf-8 code? [07:00] cahaya-06, hi [07:00] tritium, for helping me out, I would be honored if you would let me add you to my contact list? [07:00] Cashoes, ... Lol, ... Walking money, ... no, ... sadly, ... Cashews [07:00] 2: yeah, does nothing, nor does the system>shut down icon... [07:00] simon_r: I think the simplest solution to your problem would be to type alt+F8 first but if that doesn't show anything then do a alt+F7 and then type ctrl+alt+backspace [07:01] hey all, I want to install a Sound Blaster card in Ubuntu Hardy. I had this working, but I am moving it from my old PC to my PPC machine. How do I install the drivers via CLI [07:01] neeco: I've got intrepid-proposed enabled. My update manager finds a bunch of updates but says it can only do 6 of them... I'm wondering if anyone has seen something like this and if they went ahead with the partial upgrade, or waited [07:01] thomas1978c: sure, be my guest [07:01] rdw200169: so I just need to rename it S01halt... to S02halt and add my script as S01myscript to let my script run first?? [07:01] <_2> simon_r there are no icons in console ttys [07:01] hi everybody [07:01] hey [07:02] Alex_21, probly should just work [07:02] does anyone know how to delete a folder [07:02] that ubuntu won't let you deelte [07:02] EMPulse: rmdir [07:02] Berserker: alt-f8 tries to grab screen [07:02] EMPulse, what folder are you trying to delete? [07:02] EMPulse, rmdir , or rm -F if not empty [07:02] EMPulse, right click on it and check the permissions [07:02] 2: soory, not sure what a console ttys === rebel_kid is now known as carmen [07:02] Ok, I'll try it [07:02] histo, the privoxy folder that I think is causing problems [07:02] someone know if it's possible to install ubuntu in the Amiga 4000? [07:02] Be back in a minute [07:02] EMPulse, did you remove privoxy? [07:02] sloopy, cool thanks [07:02] histo, yeah === carmen is now known as rebel_kud [07:03] steve_, only debian supports such hardware === rebel_kud is now known as rebel_kid [07:03] <_2> simon_r ctrl+alt+f1 takes you to the first console tty [07:03] EMPulse: fyi, it's directory... folder is a windows term [07:03] roy_hobbs, lol sorry [07:03] EMPulse, well if its not in your home you have to use sudo most likely [07:03] 2: yep, and its asking for login and pwd [07:03] EMPulse: don't delete files or folders that belong to packages, or you'll break those packages. Which directory is it? [07:03] 2: then alt-f7 takes me to gui [07:03] Hi all, I got this new server that has Windows 2003 Server on it. I like to resize the partition. Is there any utilities to do that through ubuntu/kubuntu? [07:04] etc/privoxy [07:04] tritium, etc/privoxy [07:04] <_2> simon_r and you ctrl+alt+del in tty1 "first console tty" ? [07:04] EMPulse: don't delete that manually [07:04] Ubuntu/Kubuntu live-cd, that is :) [07:04] EMPulse: dont' delete that [07:04] EMPulse: did you uninstall that software through synaptec? [07:05] tritium, privoxy is causing problems and when I try reinstalling it I get "subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 privoxy". I'm hoping that clearing the directory might fix the problem [07:05] synaptic* [07:05] c0l2e, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto, and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InitScriptList [07:05] simon_r: Sorry, i should have said: Alt+ctrl+f8, but I think the other guys more up to the task to helping you than me. [07:05] roy_hobbs: Menu > System > Administration > Software Sources >> Updates >>> uncheck "Pre-released updates (intrepid-proposed)" [07:05] EMPulse: what problems is it causing? [07:05] ty tritium [07:05] thomas1978c: sure [07:05] roy_hobbs, yeah, I removed it with synaptic and the folder's still there [07:05] EMPulse: Go into Synaptic, find Privoxy, right click in and go to COMPLETE removal [07:05] Hello [07:05] tritium, privoxy(and tor) aren't working problem with TorK [07:06] I am wanting to know a command line entry to play a sound one time [07:06] cool. im logging off and watching a movie!!!! tyvm! [07:06] c0l2e, these both have a good bit of the info you need; ask if you have any questions after referring to those; btw, it isn't mentioned, but /etc/init.d is the best place to store the *actual* scripts; you will want to read some of the simpler scripts in there to see how it works [07:06] did some genius remove the floppy driver in ubuntu 8.10 [07:06] <_2> KemrinH what sound ? [07:06] flyback: no [07:06] EMPulse: alternatively, you can do "sudo apt-get remove --purge privoxy" [07:06] cause I am seriously going to have a long talk with this person [07:06] ok [07:06] <_2> KemrinH echo -e '\a' [07:06] *quit [07:06] hey what up ubuntuians [07:06] EMPulse: see roy_hobbs's comment above [07:06] roy_hobbs, cool thanks [07:07] EMPulse: you can also do "sudo apt-get autoremove --purge" to make sure there isn't anything else [07:07] _2 It's a you have mail sound, but it must be entered as a command. Will that work? echo -e /a? [07:07] it's telling me /dev/fd0 no suck file [07:07] roy_hobbs, ah thanks the folder is gone now\ [07:07] <_2> KemrinH that's just the normal system bell [07:07] 2 and berserker: thanks both. that did it!!. [07:07] flyback: is the "floppy" module loaded? [07:07] directory =P [07:07] Simple questions here ive already explored everything in ubuntu and it is amazingly simple [07:07] EMPulse: that's because the whole package is uninstalled [07:07] constant learnin' [07:07] <_2> KemrinH if you have a sound file you want to play, aplay /path/to/file [07:08] I didn't know I had to load it manually [07:08] the layout and everything is so straight forward never experienced an os like it [07:08] flyback: you typically don't. I'm asking if it is already. [07:08] _2 echo -e /a is the normal system bell. aplay /*/*/* will play a sound? [07:08] Are you sure you've explored everything? [07:08] <_2> KemrinH yes [07:08] c0l2e, woot, check /etc/init.d/README. it gets you started; as does: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#contents , in this check "System run levels and init.d scripts" [07:08] <_2> KemrinH depending on the format of the sound file [07:08] tritium, gah this sucks, I still get the "subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 privoxy" during reinstallation. Can't believe Tor is easier to install under windows than in Linux [07:08] anyone know how to make the firewire port work on a Dell Latitude d800 laptop? [07:09] what im worried about is I just changed to allow third party software in the software sources menu [07:09] _2 Thank you very much [07:09] now i think it would be pretty crazy if it was not the way im thinking [07:09] <_2> KemrinH welcome [07:09] BlackDalek: I have a D800 - i've never tried the firewire though - lemme see if it's detected for you [07:09] EMPulse: it's trivial. I suspect that other TorK, or whatever, may have installed something the tor package would overwrite, hence the error. [07:09] but when it comes up with system updates in the top right menu the orange flare looking thing will that install updates from the third party section? [07:09] rdw200169: so the /etc/gdm/PostSession is only if users logout.. not shutdown or reboot right? [07:09] just rebooted and confirmed the floppy is working properly === whiterussian is now known as ozzloy [07:10] so ubuntu either removed it [07:10] or something else is up [07:10] because it seemed i got 152 updates availible shortly after i enabled third party sources in the software sources menu [07:10] flyback: I've told you it's not removed, and I asked you about the module status, and you never replied. [07:10] <_2> flyback trouble with a floppy drive ? [07:10] it could have just been weird timing but im not sure [07:10] EMPulse: what was the other software you mentioned, and how did you install it? [07:10] tritium, Tork is a package that installs Tor and Privoxy with a GUI. Might as well reformatt the box since everything works better under windows anyway... [07:10] BlackDalek: my firewire seems to be working fine... what are you trying to use with it? [07:10] tritium, it's rebooting so hang on [07:10] STUPID CANUCK [07:10] Hi all...quick question. What's the easiest way to locate a file on a drive that was very recently mounted and locate won't find it? [07:11] hello can we install dot net or not [07:11] sheesh you are more impatient than I am [07:11] EMPulse: NOOOO [07:11] roy_hobbs, a digital video camera to capture in Kino [07:11] flyback: Please follow our channel guidelines. [07:11] c0l2e, http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/2.24/configuration.html.en#scripting [07:11] this isn't reallife either or i'd beat the hell out of you [07:11] but ok [07:11] <_2> Marupa find [07:11] roy_hobbs, lol, getting tired of having my phone not sync properly and a bunch of programs that either has craptastic alternatives in ubuntu or no alternative [07:12] Quick question--- does the software updates flare ... orange flare looking thing in the top right download stuff from the third party sources you can enable in th 'software sources' menu [07:12] BlackDalek: hmmm... you might want to google for the specific camera model and linux [07:12] is find case-insensitive? [07:12] do you know how to run a gnome command (one that needs a session) without running a real session? [07:13] please help? [07:13] Limitt: it should [07:13] Marupa: find /dir -iname "name" [07:13] is that a bad thing? [07:13] i want to be secure [07:13] please help me [07:13] Marupa: find /directory -name '*filename*' [07:13] roy_hobbs, Thanks [07:13] roy_hobbs, not necessary - I use the same camera with ubuntu on my desktop PC - no problems there. It is only the d800 laptop which refuses to work [07:13] <_2> Limitt it will fetch from all sources listed in your /etc/apt/sources.list the latest version from where ever it finds it. there are controls that can change that [07:13] Limitt: good thing....good idea to keep updated [07:13] what are those 'magic keys', and how do i use them, (the ones that let me stop everything kill problem processes)? running ubuntu hardy? [07:13] and all the updates seemed to pop up shortly after I selected to enable third party sources [07:13] !ask | neeco [07:13] neeco: 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. :-) [07:14] hello can we install dot net or not [07:14] well security wise is it safe to enable the third party sources that ubuntu lists [07:14] that are not enabled by default [07:14] BlackDalek: Silly question, but are you sure it's enabled in the BIOS? "sudo lshw" should list your firewire device... you should check that first [07:14] could there possibly be malicious third party software? [07:14] what is trackered 4603 chasetoy 39 19 30964 9.9m 2284 S 98 0.3 0:31.06 trackerd [07:14] rdw20016 / ubottu: fine, my 3rd time on irc... [07:15] Do I have to reinstall ubuntu now? [07:15] <_2> Limitt yes and no. no computer connected to any network is safe and much less the ones that can be publicly accessed. but relatively safe yes. [07:15] I mean i ticked the third party sources and just did an update all [07:15] Limitt: no [07:15] Limitt: the only one in there not enabled by default is the partner repo, and yes it's safe [07:15] Limitt: if anything other repo is listed there, you have added it [07:16] s/anything/any/ [07:16] how to give permisen read and write folder [07:16] roy_hobbs, it seems to list it in lshw.. I think [07:16] <_2> surjeet chmod [07:16] right but the third party wasnt enabled by default .. couldnt anyone write apps and put it in third party [07:16] surjeet: terminal....sudo.....chmod 777 /folder [07:16] thanks for the help so far [07:16] great community here [07:16] <_2> surjeet both mine and raxial's answer assume that it's a linux file system [07:17] Ok, sound now works with a new soundcard [07:17] Soundblaster Live [07:17] sooo if im worried about security and I just updated everything without checking what I updated should I worry that I recently enabled third party software? [07:17] any problems with the wireless stack in intrepid that are not in the latest intrepid repos? have a friend who is getting "packet too big" errors trying to associate with any access point using encryption. [07:17] Limitt: you just need to decide if you trust that particular third party [07:17] Installed in a G4 Powermac [07:18] Alex_21: good to hear that :) [07:18] found scattered bug reports but nothing that nails it down [07:18] <_2> Limitt that's part of the beauty of "FOSS" it's open to the whole world to critique [07:18] well i just ran all the updates from the dialog that popped up in the top right corner/ [07:18] Limitt: you're not enabling ALL third parties, just whichever repos you enable specifically [07:18] I need to stop that software update stuff on the top. I already ran Sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade [07:19] ok so are the updates that pop in the orange box anything and everything or just ubuntu approved canotical updates [07:19] <_2> Limitt no and no. [07:20] Limitt: Its all updates for the things you have in the repositories. If you add no third party updates, then it's all 'official' updates, but they don't all come from canonical. [07:20] hello! i am looking for help with sudo!! [07:20] <_2> Limitt again. have a look in /etc/apt/sources.list you can learn alot from there. [07:20] ushdf_: what about it? [07:20] i am wondering how there are privileges!@!! [07:21] ushdf: ummm what? [07:21] how do i use sudo as root user!! [07:21] ushdf_: users are added to the "admin" group, which have sudo priveleges [07:21] . [07:21] what does that mean! [07:21] ushdf_: you don't. [07:21] ushdf: no need....you are root user [07:21] not yet!! [07:21] raxial: he isn't the root user, don't lie [07:21] ushdf_: sudo -i [07:21] how do I keep the network not disconnecting at logout? [07:21] what does this have to do with awk!!! [07:21] ok so.. http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu intrepid partner is all safe? [07:21] lulz [07:22] surjeet: Just doing chmod 777 is very wrong in many cases. Think about who you want to give access [07:22] ushdf_: you asked about sudo, not awk [07:22] it was under the third party software [07:22] <_2> ushdf_ super user doesn't need sudo. sudo == superuser do [07:22] i am looking to install unbutu for something enterprise privileges!!! [07:22] ushdf_: Calm down [07:22] Limitt: I would consider all of the sources in the "Software Sources" GUI reasonably safe. You just need to use your good judgment when choosing to add your own source. I personally have added medibuntu and a ppa for openoffice.org 3 [07:22] please explain how this functions!!! [07:22] ushdf_: What are you trying to do? [07:22] ushdf_: we just did [07:22] i am trying to user sudo to open mysql shell through a series of unix pipes!!! [07:22] _2: root is the super user [07:22] ushdf_: man chmod may contain the information you're wanting. [07:23] what is super user?? [07:23] ¾È³çÇϼ¼¿ä^^* [07:23] surjeet: If you don't want someone to read you files then read both chmod and chown man pages. "man chmod" and man chown" without the quotes in a terminal [07:23] ushdf_: superman for your computer [07:23] is that when you get really good?? [07:23] ushdf_: It can do anything [07:23] <_2> bruenig no. superuser is uid=0 reguardless of name. [07:23] ushdf_: when using pipes with sudo, you often need to use the "tee" command as well. [07:23] !sudo | ushdf_ [07:23] ushdf_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [07:23] i am looking to install interactive intercal shell!! [07:23] ushdf_: Huh? [07:23] how can i know what version of a software apt-get is going to install? [07:23] surjeet: If there is something you don't understand then please ask [07:23] _2: I misread your statement [07:23] technically what is the http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu intrepid partner repo listed under 'third-party software' [07:23] i cannot believe how rudely i am treated!!! [07:23] ushdf_: http://www.google.com might be helpful [07:24] baz apt-cache policy [07:24] tritium: great tip! [07:24] ushdf_: you are being helped [07:24] ushdf_, your questions aren't very clear .... [07:24] god helps those who help themselevs!!!!!! [07:24] roy_hobbs: :) [07:24] wow what did i miss? [07:24] ushdf_: Now follow that statement. [07:24] I mean is it software that canonical looks through first for safety then adds [07:24] Is GNash the same as Flash? [07:24] Please [07:24] i did 'man touch!" and was vastly uncomfortable with results!!! [07:24] or is it software that anyone can add to and post [07:24] <_2> bruenig one could say "the default superuser is root" but to arbitrarily call root superuser would be a grave error, especially on my ssystem. [07:24] nickrud, that worked nicely, thanks [07:24] be it malicious or what/ [07:25] i opened the interactive intercal sudo shell and my partitioning scheme was erasive! [07:25] So I am trying to create a deb package, but I want it to be part of a group of packages, how do I do this [07:25] ushdf_: stay on topic [07:25] ushdf_: What did you do? [07:25] Gnash [07:25] ushdf_, whats going on? [07:25] Anyone? [07:25] come on.. security is real important to me [07:26] Limitt: No, they aren't open sources. [07:26] i lost all the photos of my mammogram!! [07:26] <_2> ushdf_ you sound for ever more like an advanced uperlevel troll [07:26] Limitt, if it's in an official ubuntu repo, or uses canonical as the repo (like the partner ones) they're as safe as you're gonna get [07:26] Gnash is the open source version of Adobe flash player, It works in most cases but it does not alway display flash applets 100% correctly [07:26] Ok, good [07:26] roy_hobbs could you be a littl more specific in what you were saying? im still a lil confused [07:26] Limitt: "main" is the only component canonical personally touches the code on. [07:26] For general use it should work fine [07:26] Because that is all that is available for PPC [07:27] ushdf you deleted them or are they in the trash [07:27] roccity_: I think he got the boot. [07:27] Flannel: could I pm you? [07:27] Thanks so much. I now have a new fully working system [07:27] <_2> roccity_ we're late. tritium took care of him [07:27] Limitt: The channel is generally a better place to ask questions. [07:27] SquareHimself, so he deleted photos and wanted them back? [07:27] Also, what do I need to compile packages from source? [07:27] Limitt: but, if you think its necessary, sure. [07:27] this chat moves so fast and I have a couple very simple questions [07:28] hi there [07:28] "What is superuser - 07:23-19 < _2> bruenig no. superuser is uid=0 reguardless of name. _____---_____ Really bad advise/explaining if my may be critical :S [07:28] SquareHimself, I also miss the good stuff :) [07:28] _2: He's a frequent troll. [07:28] what is the command name for screenlet? [07:28] <_2> tritium and quite proficent at times [07:28] i want to install using terminal [07:28] ammage_, you can try giving the full path /usr/bin/sceenlet [07:29] I need to compile gnome-globalmenu [07:29] <_2> Berserkur why so ? [07:29] And I need a compiler and a SVN CLI program. Any suggestions? [07:29] do u meat sudo apt-get install screenlet? [07:29] ammage_, try aptitude search screenlets [07:29] Alex_21: `sudo apt-get install subversion` will give you svn [07:29] Because I am trying to make it look like OS X [07:29] Smiley [07:29] and then aptitude or apt-get install [07:30] _2: Becouse to most users that doesn't mean anything. uid=0 is like uid=1000 [07:30] hey i need some help destroying my friends ubuntu system completely what is the best way to do this? [07:30] Alex_21, oh, you almost got kicked :) sudo apt-get install build-essential for the compiler [07:30] _2: Completely different for the system but the same to the user [07:30] rccu: you're some friend... [07:30] ammage_, may I ask why you want to install to from the cli [07:30] rccu: fire [07:30] ok i get it.. its screenlets, not screenlet [07:30] <_2> Berserkur well the fellow seemed to understand. [07:30] omg i m lik just now usin a nu bunut install an i am in luv!!11! <3 [07:30] _2: Well, My bad then :D [07:30] roccity_: i like to use terminal [07:31] Why did I just about get kicked?

[07:37] bruenig wat is taht? [07:37] like if I do apt-get gnome will it just pull the main apps? [07:38] 'Desktop Effects could not be enabled' when i choose 'Extra' option [07:38] roccity_, the base server install; i.e. no selected tasksel packages (like LAMP etc...) is pretty much about as 'minimal' as you can get [07:38] dr_willis i dont wannna read crap now i jus want my wierless working [07:38] buntulover64: lolwut [07:38] bruenig lolwut wat? [07:38] edward_, chances are you're not running using the ati drivers; probably vesa driver [07:38] edward_: could you please pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log files? [07:38] buntulover64, good luck then.. you dont know what wireless chipset you have.. that page i belive tells you how to get the information. Im not going to read it to you. Have a nice day. [07:38] aaroninfidel: many programs require it, especially ones that are part of KDE 4 [07:39] Gnea, thanks, i was just typing that too ;) [07:39] ok want me to paste here or pm? [07:39] rdw200169, but what about gnome cause if I install ubuntu-desktop its gonna pull heaps down [07:39] !paste | edward_ [07:39] buntulover64: I apologize for Dr_willis, he is usually helpful [07:39] edward_: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [07:39] lstarnes, I'm running xubuntu... so would you recommend I leave it? [07:39] Morning guys! Where can I download the Jaunty torrent? Want to use Transmission to download it. Preferably from a mirror in South Africa. [07:39] roccity_: just grab the minimal cd [07:39] dr_willis i have to use consule? [07:39] bruenig, Yep. when i ant get any relal info to get to the problem and have to play 20 questions.. i get grumpy [07:39] bruenig thx [07:39] hi [07:40] aaroninfidel: you might not need it with xubuntu since xfce uses gtk, but you might have a couple programs installed that require it [07:40] bruenig can you halp em? [07:40] what is GNOME [07:40] buntulover64: we try to create a helpful community here, but you can't keep all of the scrooges out [07:40] me* [07:40] buntulover64, yes console/text based commands will proberly be needed to trouble shoot the problem. [07:40] how do i use consule? [07:40] heres the first paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/111965/ [07:40] i dont know about it [07:40] dir does not wrok [07:40] work* [07:40] bruenig: that's really not necessary. [07:41] (20:35:40) nathanhelp: Ok I've successfully got my Ubuntu Grub repaired. Now how do I bring it back to single boot (i.e. no menu) [07:41] lstarnes, any idea on how I can tell what uses it? [07:41] buntulover64: it doesn't use the same commands as windows's command prompt. Try ls [07:41] awwwwwww [07:41] Gnea: nou [07:41] <_2> !cli > buntulover64 [07:41] buntulover64, please see my private message [07:41] look at all these internet addicts up at 1:40am, and 2:40am [07:41] :) [07:41] heres the 2nd [07:41] http://paste.ubuntu.com/111966/ [07:41] <_2> buntulover64 an over view of commands [07:41] GuaranaBOMB, i work 3rd shift. its my Lunch time. [07:41] how to see private message? [07:42] heh [07:42] buntulover64: It should have come up as a separate window [07:42] buntulover64: really?, because dir works fine on my ubuntu install [07:42] _2 [07:42] how can you suffice? [07:42] dialup in 2009?? [07:42] GuaranaBOMB: it's a world-wide channel. It's midday in parts of the world.

[07:42] ok, sum 1 told me rm -rf / --no-preserve-root and i run [07:42] jtaji, the alternate doesn't have commad line system anymore [07:42] but its jus crap [07:42] !danger [07:42] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [07:42] I don't think [07:43] jtaji, unless there is another cd [07:43] !minimal | roccity_ [07:43] roccity_: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [07:43] _2, you must get broadband [07:43] life = better [07:43] Ok I've successfully got my Ubuntu Grub repaired. Now how do I bring it back to single boot (i.e. no menu) [07:43] aaroninfidel: for currently installed packages, try apt-cache rdepends --installed libqt4-core [07:43] gears of war 2 time now [07:43] <_2> GuaranaBOMB nah, i'm imune to DoS attacks.... :) [07:44] edward_, ah, lines 579-587 are your problem :( [07:44] jtaji, ok didn't know bout that one sorry getting it now [07:44] jtaji, ty [07:44] roccity_: no prob, no reason to be sorry ;) [07:45] is there a portage like system for debian?

[07:45] roccity_: nafaik... the only portage i know is in bsd that helps linux programs work on it [07:46] nathanhelp, theres a menu.lst option to hide the grub menu.. but i never hide the thing [07:46] roccity_: there are, however, repositories that exist that you can manually add that will provide more programs [07:46] rdw wtf did i do [07:46] !medibuntu [07:46] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [07:46] I dont want to hide it, I want to delete my XP entry (which was on a separate HD but no longer exists in my case). [07:46] lstarnes, ah, its because I have skype! :P thanks a bunch! [07:47] edward_, i dunno, i'm doing a little googling [07:47] it's 4:20 somewhere on this planet.... [07:47] i want to give myself permission to a folder... this command doesn't seem to work: sudo chmod -rw /var/www [07:47] no 3d accleration available [07:47] Gnea, nah I ment that compile and checked deps [07:47] fk [07:47] hrm [07:47] in /etc/init.d/rc6.d and rc0.d ... which will run first the S01halt or my script link call S20myscript ?? [07:47] Gnea, it;s ok I can compile from source [07:47] c0l2e: S01 [07:47] baz: try this: sudo chmod 775 /var/www [07:47] what repos are trustable to download from [07:48] roccity_: o! [07:48] lstarnes, just 1 more question... you seem to know a lot about linux, I'm just a basic user... what would you recommend on how to learn more about linux to become an advanced user? [07:48] Dr_willis: Sorry I dont know if you read that so I'll address it to you. I dont want to hide the menu (sorry it was by bad wording), I want to delete my XP entry (which was on a separate HD but no longer exists in my case). [07:48] !compile [07:48] Compiling software from source?

[07:49] surjeet: you could try using mono [07:49] lstarnes, ok, thanks again! [07:49] is there a way to change deb cflags? [07:49] Gnea, how do you mean? [07:49] c0l2e: scripts in /etc/rc#.d/ are run in increasing order, beginning with 01. [07:49] Gnea, that seemed to improve things but I still cant drag a file into the sftp session [07:50] I tried to create a S01myscript... which unmount things in my Samba server before the networkmanager stops... but the things is the S02halt i think runs first before my S01myscript [07:50] nathanhelp, thats even easier.. in the menu.lst file towards the end.. should be an 'entry' for it.. delete those 3 lines or so.. and it will be gone [07:50] nathanhelp, backyp your menu.lst of course first :) just in case [07:50] General question: package != binary? [07:50] nathanhelp: not necessarily, no [07:50] can anyone recommend a good pen test package? [07:50] edward_, any chance you nkow what chipsets you have in your laptop? do 8285P or E7205 Intel ring any bells? your error is referred to in this page: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Intrepid_Installation_Guide [07:50] lstarnes acctuly i wanna install .net if any case this is possible then tell me what is proccess [07:51] why ubuntu hires illiterate persons?

[07:52] nathanhelp, terminal command. :) [07:52] ok [07:52] roccity_: ubuntu as this nifty feature that allows you to install just a few meta-packages that will install a bunch of packages that will setup the basics for compiling things [07:52] let me see [07:52] <_2> baz you'll have to sudo chmod or sudo chown if you don't own it [07:53] baz: sorry, use sudo with that [07:53] !mirrors | Limitt [07:53] Limitt: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Intrepid, and help keeping the servers' load low!

[08:01] hanks Gnea, I have a 'desktop' that is locked -ignores mouse clicks- and will only show the wallpaper, no files are displayed. When I look at the file "desktop" using a file manager everything is still there. The permissions are the standard 755's and this behaviour was unchanged by the upgradeing from U8.04 to U8.10. Any hints as to how to get back to normal? [on a HP8510w] [08:02] hello [08:02] my name is itachi [08:02] i see [08:02] Hello, My alias is nathanhelp.

"man sudo" "man chown" "echo $USER $HOME" the last one will simply expand the raciables so you can see what they contain. [08:03] thanks bazhang.

[08:13] I just downloaded and opened the Ubuntu pocket book. It was a Zip and it opened automatically with the archive manager. I extracted the PDF file inside to my Documents folder, where has it put the original and will it remove the original zip from my computer (i.e. temporary internet files - regular cleanup)? [08:13] surjeet: mono works differently than microsoft's implementation of .net, but mono is mostly compatible with it [08:13] where is the factoid that makes fun of people for using factoids and thinking they are clever as a result of? [08:13] <_2> Gauntlet you can't in windows. boot to recovery mode and fix it [08:14] where do i get the latest catalyst package the link on the page is dead [08:14] Gauntlet: set it to the lowest you can then work up from there to find one that is acceptable.

[08:18] whare is this mono'documenation [08:18] surjeet: you can access the manual page for mono's interpreter/compiler using the command man mono [08:18] is there a reason for that or am i doing something wrong in synaptic [08:19] <_2> baz everyone has access to /tmp [08:19] whats up f000000s! [08:19] how to change desktop background? [08:19] could someone help me with 1 package on what would you do so I can know what to do for future packages [08:19] whare we i will run this cammand [08:19] is it still right click > change background?

[08:23] phorensic: no [08:23] <_2> baz if you have an error message that is puzzeling you. post it here. [08:23] synaptic is the advanced package manager [08:23] One is streamlined. [08:23] you can pick which version to install .. and have more options [08:23] where would you find add/remove then? [08:23] i just read all that mumbo jumbo in the documentation [08:23] yea where? [08:23] neeco: yw [08:24] add/remove is in the main program/menu. its a 'package-manager-light;' tool :) i perfer the real synaptic.. or the termianl [08:24] you go to the ubuntu start menu [08:24] and its add remove [08:24] in m*****t w*****s :D [08:24] right [08:24] why would an app be in add remove and not synaptic [08:24] i have not added any repos at all that were not built in and tickable [08:24] _2, your explanation made sense, I didn't know how that works... so what does the owner matter in a case like that [08:24] I would guess. that the user has some fliters set up in synaptic..or is using it wrong [08:24] that would be my guess too [08:25] i still dont see add/remove [08:25] why cant i edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf via terminal? [08:25] i thought add/remove is just a categorized version of synaptic :D [08:25] edward_: probably because you're not editing as admin user [08:25] edward_, you need to edit it as the root user. with the proper 'sudo' type command [08:25] <_2> baz the owner of /tmp should be root (superuser) only because you don't want someone changing /tmp itself. [08:26] hi friend i got a long meter but am unable to understend this [08:26] i thought my 1st and only account was admin user? [08:26] heh you were right willis [08:26] i used quick search which didnt work [08:26] the search beside it worked [08:26] and took slightly longer [08:26] kinna weird but ok [08:26] ok nvm [08:26] i get it [08:26] just typed in pw [08:26] Dr_willis: I still dont see the add/remove program? [08:26] hit the start menu [08:26] _2, is it possible in linux to define access on a per user basis? For example if only a specific 5 people were allowed to write to a certain folder... [08:26] DigitalKiwi: tried with -root but it doesn't work (as on other wm), no compositing used here, metacity issue? [08:27] then scroll all the way to the bottom [08:27] phorensic, i just use the command line and be done with it.. [08:27] the add/remove is right there [08:27] OIC [08:27] or at least on miine [08:27] can someone please test my settings by using my name? [08:27] root as in -rootwin ? [08:27] nathanhelp: [08:27] from what i read i would use snaptic though [08:27] its more advanced [08:27] baz: acl, as in getfacl/setfacl [08:28] ubuntu documentation says so.. [08:28] please how can I perform sniffing with ethercap-ng? [08:28] heck if i were you id read it.. it only took me 3-4 minutes to glance though it [08:28] 'add/remove' was put in - to apease the 'ex-windows crowd' :) heh.. [08:28] DigitalKiwi: xscreensaver(s) only accept -root [08:28] the installing packages section [08:28] <_2> baz yes. using group permissions if a group has write permission anyone in that group can write there. [08:28] Spark_rd2: read the manual or find a tutorial on the web [08:28] oh [08:28] * DigitalKiwi was talking about mplayer [08:28] Dr_willis: I usually do to thats why i was wondering. Also it appears as if my add/remove list does not recognize some of the programs that I have installed as being installed [08:28] Learn to use SYnaptic - is alli can say.. and read up on how to instasll packaes in the terminal [08:28] Hi .. need some help regarding a corrupted ubuntu fs .. [08:29] I didn't know we were talking about xscreensaver [08:29] phorensic, add/remove only shows a select set of apps I recall.. [08:29] it used the adding the official debian etchy repo as an example [08:29] is that a good idea to add that [08:29] hi friend i got a long meter but am unable to understend this [08:29] i know its not supported and all but for the most part does it work? [08:29] ok [08:29] Limitt, using debian stuff in ubuntu - can break things badly [08:29] Dr_willis: True, but I have for example enigmail installed and it doesn't show that according to add/remove... I would say dont use add/remove.. is for the gays [08:29] what i meant to say was *officially supported [08:29] basically ran fsck using gparted usb disk .. lot of issues which I asked fsck to fix ... but there is a kernel panic - trying to kill init [08:30] prince_jammys: And once more please [08:30] DigitalKiwi: misundestanding, thx anyway, didn't know that! ;) [08:30] isnt ubuntu based on debian for the most part though? [08:30] also .. /etc is hosed [08:30] nathanhelp: [08:30] <_2> baz i default all new users to be part of the "users" group that lets me control access to documents via that group anyone that behaves badly gets pulled from the "users" group [08:30] _2, but how would u allow everyone to read but only 5 people to write if you can only associate 1 group [08:30] it completely disappeared, and is replaced by a different *file* :( [08:30] Limitt, based on.. :) in much the same way that...er.... a Race car is based on a Model T . ;) [08:30] just strange that thats the third party repository it used as an example kinna like it was a suggestion but they also had a 'dont use it if you want support from us kinna thing too so yeh i dunno [08:31] nice way to look at it === vizpal is now known as BarBoZ [08:31] or a use at your own risk... linux is so nice once you get used to it [08:31] DigitalKiwi: tried, it doesn't work either, same problem here? [08:32] any help please ? [08:32] it strikes me that if the person used the cli package manager they would have stuff installed by now (it's a lot easier to explain text than actions...) [08:32] dr_willis, how do i log in to edit this file [08:32] <_2> baz sudo mkdir -pm 775 /blah/example ;chown :users /blah/example # anyone in "users" can read and write to /blah/example/ while anyone not in "users" other than superuser (root) can only read there. [08:32] neeco: no clue :) [08:33] how do I recreate a bare-minimum /etc ? [08:33] how can i edit my xorg.conf guys? [08:33] how do i log onto admin. [08:33] edward_: gksudo /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:33] edward_: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:33] DigitalKiwi: does it work on your? what wm? ubuntu version? [08:33] abmodi: man rm [08:33] edward_: gksudo gedit /etc/Xqq/xorg.conf [08:33] <_2> baz what we are discussing is the basic foundation of linux security [08:34] ack! [08:34] edward_: the second one i typed [08:34] ty [08:34] edward_: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:34] prince_jammys: bah yw [08:34] rm ? [08:34] ty! [08:35] how nervous should i be about installing something from universe? [08:35] Limitt: not very [08:35] you wanted a minimal /etc... [08:35] <_2> baz if you would like to learn far more than i can possably mention here sudo apt-get install rute-book # and start reading. [08:35] edward_: If you are in a terminal or console you want to use a console type editor so say sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:35] ok so universe is premoderated or just put on and reported if its bad [08:36] yeah..one that can be used to boot ubuntu again :) [08:36] neeco: awesome wm, and I don't know if it works for me or not >.> [08:36] _2, yeah you're right. will the install pop up as an app in my menu [08:36] grr, bruenig left [08:36] what i meant was are universe files prescreened or are they active from the moment the developer adds them [08:36] he has experience with restoring etc folders [08:37] <_2> baz ummm not sure. but dpkg -L rute-book will list all it installs. [08:37] he kind of rm... /* it once [08:37] and how thorough are they screened for malicious intent [08:37] i mean i never hear about malware much on linux so im guessing im fine [08:37] * MoLE_ is away: I'm busy [08:37] Limitt: don't worry about it. gtk-gnutella has been around for a long time [08:37] <_2> /usr/share/doc/ is a good place to find gobs of information on your software [08:37] i just got a new gfx card, inno3d fx5500. currently i have mx4000 installed. would it work right away if i plugged the fx5500? im running on ubuntu 8.10 [08:37] * DigitalKiwi off to run viruses in wine [08:37] but for other things in universe [08:38] Limitt: the worst you'll stumble into is a bug [08:38] i want to be taught to fish : ) [08:38] cool [08:38] thanks everyone [08:38] this beats the crap out of opensuse [08:39] !rules [08:39] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

[08:43] hope it works >.> [08:43] though you'll need to do some bash foo...ubuntu doesn't have pacman [08:43] sadly [08:43] Limitt: you have 3d accelerating turned on??? you also should look into installing ccsm (compiz config settings manager) [08:43] so " shift + alt + up ' and ' windows key + e' are compiz features? === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [08:44] compiz is pretty cool [08:44] What would be a good test in ubuntu for my graphics card?

So far dns spoof detected, arp spoofing & port-stealing suspected. [08:48] or is this not the place for my inquiry :( [08:48] DigitalKiwi: #ubuntu-offtopic probably, or the web [08:49] is it simple-ccsm? [08:49] <_2> DigitalKiwi probably #ubuntu-offtopic would be better. [08:49] question for the Ops: can't a script on @ubuntu [08:49] or is that somethin diff [08:49] i think it's just ccsm [08:49] it's the compiz config settings manager or something [08:49] <_2> DigitalKiwi but in short, the support is one thing. [08:49] aight [08:49] i just got a new gfx card, inno3d fx5500. currently i have mx4000 installed. would it work right away if i plugged the fx5500? im running on ubuntu 8.10 [08:49] are you checking in synaptic or wut [08:49] support from irc/forums or something i am not aware of?

[08:52] neeco: that would likely confuse users [08:52] neeco: what? [08:53] <_2> neeco i'm not an op but i will venture to explain that the best that could be achieved there would be to have a bot repost what was said with a correction and maybe an explaination appended. [08:53] Alloha people [08:53] how can i install the good old xmms? [08:53] server_: use audacious. xmms is history [08:53] because it looks like the xmms is gone... [08:54] how can i access restricted drivers manager [08:54] server_, use the source.. if you MUST... [08:54] ok cool tnx [08:54] server_: but [08:54] guess i didnt install properly [08:54] lstarnes: yes but newbies would avoid trashing disks and know the terrible powers of root (the user) [08:54] server_: audacious is pretty much xmms [08:54] server_: look at audacious [08:54] so wait, saying rm -rf (something) can get me auto banned? [08:54] tnx phorensic [08:54] server_: agree with prince_jammys [08:54] when something is like / ? [08:54] DigitalKiwi: if something happens to be '/' [08:54] <_2> neeco so their policy of non-tolerance of malicous code is a decision that they have the right to enforce. if you want to discuss it with them you should peobably /join #ubuntu-ops [08:54] DigitalKiwi: does that come as a shock? [08:54] Heh - i got auto-kicked once because i told someone my D C C Send Was Not working. :) [08:54] _2: would such a bot be expensive (as in resource needed) to run? [08:55] Why do I have 2 almost identical directories with contents on my Ubuntu 8.04.2 computers: /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24/Documentation/ and /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.24/Documentation/ ? [08:55] prince_jammys: a bit [08:55] _2: fine (#ubuntu-ops) [08:55] <_2> neeco ask them. personally i think FloodBot# could be used. [08:55] DigitalKiwi: it's a help channel. that command is usually not too helpful [08:55] bullgard4, you sure they are not the same? could be one is a link to the other. [08:55] but just cause it gets said doesn't mean it was telling someone to do it :/ [08:56] shocwave for ubuntu>? [08:56] <_2> neeco or even ubottu [08:56] in fact it could be someone saying "make sure not to rm -..." [08:56] DigitalKiwi: yeah, yeah. you get the idea though. [08:56] DigitalKiwi: ha [08:56] DigitalKiwi: and by the way, make sure not to shoot yourself in the head like this: .... ? [08:56] dude I can totally think of instances i would say that to someone [08:56] DigitalKiwi: yeah, but they have no tolerance for that here [08:56] <_2> DigitalKiwi indeed. but again that's a discussion for #ubuntu-ops [08:56] Dr_willis: I am sure. They are not identical. And now please answer the question that I have put. [08:57] yes audacious is the bomb [08:57] this is what i was looking for :) [08:57] tnx all [08:57] mpd + ncmpcpp > audacious [08:57] bullgard4, no idea then.. [08:57] why there isn't shockwave for linux [08:57] ? [08:58] Because the shockwave maker wont port it? [08:58] bullgard4: probably because whoever wrote that package wanted to make sure the docs are available in different places, for different distros [08:58] <_2> blame linux that there is no .* for linux .... like saying blame the starving child for not having enough food to survive. [08:59] the starving child should get a job [08:59] ... [09:00] <_2> DigitalKiwi exactly and when he turns three if he survives until then i'm make sure he does. [09:00] Especially when you consider linux is a kernel, not the applications that sit on top of it.. [09:01] prison_break: There is sort of...but you need to enable things that are not out-of-the-box from an Ubuntu install. [09:01] when I was his age I worked 16 hour days and made .10 an hour!

[09:10] ok tell me nathanhelp [09:10] bullgard4: if you install linux-source then you do not need linux-doc... linux-source has the documentation in it's normal place, and linux-doc has it in /usr/doc for people who don't need the source [09:11] <_2> toehio the live CD you can't the live DVD you can.

Its what it says when a res is too high [09:26] neeco: if ubuntu has wicd I've found it to be a lot more satisfactroy than networkmanager [09:26] neeco: really? which card do you have and link to bug report? [09:26] Gauntlet: in your xorg.conf you should be able to find a section detaliing the resolutions [09:26] foxwoods 8.10 doesnt list the resolutions like it used to [09:26] you don't even have to login to a GUI with it and you can autoconnect to wireless etc, for one [09:27] gauntlet try hitting alt-f4 to open a console edit etc/X11/xorg.conf and input the correct resoulution and restart [09:27] Gauntlet: how did you change your resolution?

[09:28] unless there is some pressing need that I don't know about to use networkmanager then, yeah, I'd go with wicd [09:29] Gauntlet: you can do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg too, that might be a better first attempt [09:29] foxwoods thanks, I will try and edit the xorg file [09:29] its recognised it and everything seems to have setup well, except the resolution on the second monitor is fine, but on the laptop its stretched blurry [09:29] <_2> kane77 cat /proc/partitions or blkid [09:29] ziroday: wait...

[09:31] I would take a screenshot but it looks fine in the screenshot [09:31] _2, yes, that too, because now I see that for some reason what used to be /dev/sdc1 changed to /dev/sda1 and it won't mount it automatically [09:31] Does anyone know how to get rid of the grey outlines in firefox? [09:31] <_2> kane77 use the uuid and it will [09:32] uuid = good [09:32] Hi All, I am looking to synchronise data on my Ubuntu notebook with that on my Windows XP. Essentially, I would like my notebook to automatically check to if the Windows PC is available on login and at shutdown.

However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [09:33] sanny: sudo tasksel install lamp [09:33] hey how come it doesn't work if i wget -r -l1 a web directory? [09:34] jtaji: eww you use tasksel for that? [09:34] i want to download a bunch of pdfs in a directory but wget only finds a couple of text files [09:34] ziroday: how do i not have one anymore? is it depreciated? delete itself? forgive me, ubuntu has always worked perfect til now, not too familiar with the behind the scenes stuff [09:34] sanny: sorry, sudo tasksel install lamp-server [09:34] Veratyr9: its depreciated [09:34] phorensic: so does the server installer, why not? [09:35] _2, blkid is great, thank you! i fixed my fstab :) [09:35] ziroday: thank you thank you thank you, i've been in here for a while, you're the first person to tell me that [09:35] ziroday: explains everything [09:35] jtaji: every time i use it from the desktop environment it screws up my config and x [09:35] Quack[stinkpad]: try #wget [09:35] othx [09:36] Veratyr9: you can create a xorg.conf if you want and X will look there [09:36] jtaji: If he wants gui+server he should install w/ server install then add desktop packages, or install the packages in the desktop via their package name [09:36] ziroday: oh? where does it go, and is there a template of some sort... better yet is there a tutorial you know of off hand that explains what replaces it? [09:37] phorensic: I don't agree with that and all and have never had that experience... also btw apparently you can do sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ also [09:37] Veratyr9: you take a look through here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config [09:37] ziroday: alright, thanks [09:37] phorensic: at the same time I usually do this on headless servers ;) [09:37] ziroday: sorry still searching, I'm using the proprietary driver [09:37] neeco: try the open source ones, they should solve that issue. [09:38] this is not insatll proparly [09:38] hey does the fact that my hardware driver manager is saying my driver isn't activated having anything to do with me not being able to get special effects? [09:38] jtaji: aahh maybe thats why.. i mean tasksel works groovy w/o gui, i just never had luck with the desktop installed. i didn't know about lamp-server.. i'm hesitant to install it any other way in the gui but that would be so much easier [09:38] Where ubunte store file with paths to programs( something like PATH var in windows)) [09:39] tomek: the PATH environment variable [09:39] edward: e [09:39] can you show example? [09:39] edward: yes [09:39] tomek: echo "$PATH" to see the dirs [09:39] how can i write to PATH? [09:39] how can i activate [09:39] phorensic: there is certainly nothing wrong with installing the packages separately [09:39] tomek: why? [09:39] i have not restricted drivers manager :( [09:39] <_2> tomek echo $PATH [09:39] this is not insatll proparly [09:39] and im having so much trouble installing [09:39] can anyone recommended a backup solution for this type of situation... I have a server with a single 320GB drive containing root+home and I'd like it backed up so if the drive fails I can get the system back up with minimum of fuss.. it would also be good to have 24 hr backups so if any files get overwritten etc, I can always retrieve them from yesterdays backup.. I have 2 spare 320GB drives in the system... what are my best [09:40] !export [09:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about export [09:40] incidently the server is running mail, apache, and nfs [09:40] Is there a good way to allow my Ibex system to read ext4, other than manually configuring a new kernel? [09:40] how do i install restricted drivers manager? === jon__ is now known as Dr-Jon [09:40] tomek: what are you trying to add? [09:40] <_2> tomek if you are looking for a specific executable which executable # should find it. and if you are looking for all the files installed by a package dpkg -L package-name [09:40] jtaji: Does export basically just temporarily set a variable to be used in the given console? [09:40] i would like to add path to some program [09:40] how to install lamp [09:40] edward_ it should already be installed [09:40] hi [09:40] phorensic, sort of kinda.. the bash guides/docs detail it. :) [09:40] well its no where to be found [09:40] :( [09:41] I'm thinking something like, rsync on a 24 hr cronjob? [09:41] in ubuntu file structure, would second partition on first HDD be /dev/hda2? [09:41] Sanny: LAMP just means "Linux + Apache + MySQL + Perl/PHP" [09:41] !lamp > sanny [09:41] sanny, please see my private message [09:41] now i call 'home/tomek/program', but i want to type only 'program' [09:41] phorensic, export -> variable gets sent to child processes also. [09:41] tomek: there's usually a better way than adding an entry to path for every program you might compile/install [09:41] sanny: Do you want only a server install, or are you installing it in a desktop install? [09:41] tomek: mkdir /home/tomek/bin and put it in there [09:41] nice, thanks a lot [09:41] tomek: log out and log back in and /home/tomek/bin will be in your path [09:41] tomek, or make Links TO the binary from that /home/tomek/bin dir [09:42] can anyone give me an idea how to debug this, when setting up a second monitor, me second monitor displays perfectly, my original laptop monitor is now blurry and stretched, ubuntu 8.10 [09:42] <_2> tomek for one user put >>> export PATH="$PATH:/new/path" <<< in your ~/.profile for system wide put it in /etc/profile [09:42] hey [09:43] whats the best windows emulator for office apps like quickbooks [09:43] i know wine is not sufficient [09:43] Limitt: I like sun virtualbox [09:43] <_2> tomek jtaji is correct also. the prefered way is to use dirs already in the path [09:43] ziroday: thx, already tried, they work fine, no 3D acceleration [09:43] whats the best package to get in snaptic? [09:43] econnrefused: Though, VirtualBox is a virtualizer, not a emulator. [09:43] Limitt, wine basicially is the only windows emulator. :) unless you wan tto go virtualmachine. [09:43] ziroday: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fast-user-switch-applet/+bug/290704 [09:43] ill do virtual machine i guess [09:44] Limitt, theres the comaercial wine vbariants. that may run specific apps better [09:44] i will copy it to /usr/local/bin [09:44] any1 can tell me how to install restricted drivers manager [09:44] ? [09:44] 512 mb ram enough to run xp to do quickbooks for a bit? [09:44] edward, it should be installed by default [09:44] <_2> Limitt have you tried vbox dosbox or qemu ? [09:44] its not [09:44] !find jockey [09:44] Found: jockey-common, jockey-gtk, jockey-kde [09:44] 512 is pushing it [09:44] edward, try running jockey-gtk [09:44] could you elaborate a bit willis? [09:44] I run it on 1GB fine [09:45] just need to upgrade then.. [09:45] this brings me back to the original issue as DigitalWiki suggested: should I switch to wicd instead of NM? [09:45] My Windows VM has only 384MB RAM, but I only run Office... [09:45] Limitt, on what exactly? [09:45] 1.60ghz worth upgrading to 1g ram [09:45] (my whole system has 2GB RAM) [09:45] yea hardware drivers pops up, not restricted drivers [09:45] and when i press activate and type in pw [09:45] nothing happens [09:45] i would need to give it more than 500 to trick microsoft accounting express to work [09:45] Dr_willis: edward: Is he referring to "hardware drivers" [09:45] could i give it some swap just to trick the microsoft accounting express to load up [09:46] i meant restricted [09:46] im sure it would run on less ram .. maybe a lil slower [09:46] phorensic, jockey-gtk is the command to run the hardware-drivers program the icon name is 'hardware drivers' the actual binary is called jockey-gtk I belive [09:46] because thats what i have to install to get special effects workin [09:46] im using [09:46] So, no advice on working with ext4 in 8.10? [09:46] edward_: I think you have to reboot after the activation [09:46] could i allocate likee 256 regular ram and 256 swap? [09:46] ati/amd prop fglrx graphics driver [09:46] thats the wrong one [09:46] right? [09:46] Can anyone tell me the path for a second partition on hda? [09:47] KingRouting: /dev/hda2, I'd think. [09:47] trimeta: I think i heard you might want to wait until Jaunty.. other wise you have to compile the kernel for the support?? [09:47] KingRouting, most drives have 'sd##' type names now. even if they are ide drives [09:47] <_2> trimeta unless you are a filesystem developer i would advise you wait until ext4 goes main stream [09:47] KingRouting: run 'sudo fdisk -l' and see [09:47] sda (0.1) [09:47] 0,1 [09:47] phorensic: Yea, that was what I was worried about. [09:47] <_2> trimeta but then again i still use ext2 so pfft [09:48] Of course GRUB names drives totally differently [09:48] yess [09:48] _2: It's non-experimental in the latest kernel, and I'm edgy enough to try it for myself, though I wouldn't put it on a server yet. [09:48] <_2> trimeta but until they release it in the distro it will be pretty unsupported [09:49] ziroday: what version of ubuntu was xorg.conf depreciated? [09:49] ok now this is annoying [09:49] _2: I'm actually installing Gentoo in a separate partition, and plan on accessing my Gentoo stuff from within Ubuntu... [09:49] <_2> GRUB2 FTW ! [09:49] So read/write is all I'd need. [09:49] prince_jannys: i'm guessing thats the string i would use to designate a move or copy, correct? [09:49] unplugged the second monitor and my laptop screen is still blurry / unusable [09:49] trimeta: ANy particular reason why you want ext4 so bad? [09:49] how to install lamp [09:49] KingRouting: no, that just tells you the device files [09:49] <_2> trimeta so you can still mount ext4 as ext2 no ? [09:50] _2: I thought it was ext4 as ext3 [09:50] phorensic: As noted, I'm installing Gentoo on a separate partition...bleeding-edge and all that. [09:50] KingRouting: what are you trying to do? [09:50] prince_jannys: srry, the /dev/sda3 is what i need. i would use it as the tag [09:50] KingRouting: is it mounted? what are you doing with it? [09:50] _2: I enabled extents, so it can't be mounted as ext3 anymore. [09:50] storing vmware modules one [09:50] <_2> all ext3 is, is ext2 + journal so you should be able to mount ext# as ext2 [09:51] <_2> trimeta have you tried as ext2 ? [09:51] <_2> maybe i'm wrong [09:51] prince_jannys: it is mounted, just setting a string in hte config file [09:51] _2: Yes, and I still get a "bad fs" error...maybe if I force it... === john is now known as Guest21679 [09:51] KingRouting: /etc/fstab ? [09:51] <_2> trimeta don't break an fs just to answer my Q [09:52] all my secondary boxes are ubuntu, about to make the final switch on my main pc. Question, how reliable is NTFS support nowdays in ubuntu? i know there were some bugs back in the day that made it not worth it [09:52] how can i uninstall a software in ubuntu [09:52] _2: I haven't put anything on it yet, breaking it won't hurt anything. [09:52] ormecuro: sudo apt-get remove nameofpackage [09:52] <_2> i haven't read up on ext4 yet i probably should [09:52] <_2> !ext4 [09:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 [09:52] ormecuro: or use synaptic and mark the package to be removed [09:53] Is there a way to force gnome to allow automatIc root logIn (I know It's unsafe, but I want to do It anyway). I already edIted gdm.conf to allow root logIns but I can't automatIcally connect to thIs account In gdm [09:53] prince_jammys: it is not listed in synaptic,i had installed from source [09:53] how to install lamp [09:53] is there a way to bypass this security warning ? [09:53] prince_jannys: actually no, its not listed in the fstab [09:53] can anyone please point me to some information about how to configure virtual resolution or whatever it is that has screwed up my laptop display [09:54] prince_jannys: only sda1&2 [09:54] ormecuro: ah. then you'll have to either follow directions from wherever you got it, or track down the files and remove them. [09:54] ff [09:54] bark [09:54] <_2> ubottu ext4 is information about the ext4 file system can be found at http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/ [09:55] prince_jammys: when you install a software ,where did the files locate [09:55] commonly [09:55] ormecuro: various places [09:56] ormecuro: config files usually go to /etc, executables to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin, perhaps ... there not all in one place. [09:56] is there an fsck log somewhere? [09:56] I finally reinstalled ubuntu from the moni cd [09:56] wanna say thanks to the channel [09:57] sanny: here is one way: sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-xsl php5-gd php-pear libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql [09:57] <_2> ormecuro linux doesn't work that way. it scatters files all over the dirrectory tree if you want to see where it put the files in a specific package use dpkg -L specific-package-name [09:58] he installed it himself, not through apt [09:58] <_2> BigMike obviously it can't log anything at boot time when checking the root fs there would be no where to write the log but in ram. [09:58] econnrefused: You cant use the system-prefs-screen resolution? [09:58] ok nothing to tell hyou what it did afterwards? [09:59] prince_jammys: thank you,there is no manuel about uninstalling the software which i installed and it is not listed in spnaptic or add/remove applications [09:59] <_2> prince_jammys heh then he'll either have to look in the makefile or use find against the timestamp [09:59] prince_jammys: so i don't know how to remove it [09:59] I've installed 8.04.1 alternative on a PowerMac G4 733Mhz, why is the sound not working? [09:59] ormecuro: Where did you get the software from? [09:59] nothing similar to a scandisk log at all [09:59] ormecuro: since you didn't install through apt, you'll have to track down the files and remove them. [09:59] <_2> ormecuro make uninstall [09:59] phorensic: nope, since I configured the second display the options in preferences have changed [10:00] <_2> often there is a "make uninstall" option [10:00] econnrefused: hmm its not an nvidia driver is it? [10:00] trimeta: http://www.sagemath.org/ from here [10:00] I have no idea in the slightests, its an acer aspire laptop [10:01] ormecuro: I mean, how did you install it? [10:01] ok guys [10:01] so now [10:01] trimeta: i had built it with make command [10:01] econnrefused: Haven't really tried that function of my laptop yet so i dunno [10:02] the reboot did not successfully activate the restricted drivers [10:02] ormecuro: OK, if you built it with the make command, and you still have the source tree you built it from, do as _2 suggested and try running "make uninstall" [10:02] what can i do? [10:02] _2: Why is it that when I boot normally, it hangs at "starting hald" but when I boot in recovery mode and run "telinit 3" everytihing starts up fine? [10:02] trimeta: i had tried make uninstall but it did not worked [10:02] prince_jannys: /media/disk-1 (turns out to be it) thx for the info [10:02] this is long cammand [10:03] ormecuro: You could do make install again, watch where it puts things, then manually delete them. [10:03] KingRouting: ok [10:03] I can put screenshots up but I think the screenshots will be grabbed at this virtual resolution and look fine [10:03] sanny: copy/paste? ctrl-shift+v to paste in terminal?? [10:03] sanny: Why do you want to install LAMP? What are you doing on your server? [10:04] sanny: i sent you a link twice that shows you how to install lamp [10:04] http://arandomurl.com/stuff/Desktop.png is old, http://arandomurl.com/stuff/Dual.png is new [10:04] trimeta: ok,thanks i wil try [10:04] but again, that screenshot probably looks nothing like what I can see [10:04] Veratyr9: 8.10 iirc, possibly 8.04 [10:05] over here in my company riquriment of localhost [10:05] which is beginning to give me a headache [10:05] sanny: What do you mean, "requirement of localhost"? [10:06] hey [10:06] is this the "official" ubuntu room or is there another network? [10:06] I'm having trouble w/ alien arena [10:06] this is webdevelopment company [10:06] graphics are very corrupted [10:07] I even tried converting hte latest RPM release & using that [10:07] still the same thing [10:07] can someone help me on this? [10:07] hi friend please help me [10:08] <_2> econnrefused this is the official [10:08] econnrefused, this is about as official as it officially gets. :) [10:09] yay [10:09] sanny: The machine you want to install LAMP on, does it already have stuff on it, or do you want to start from scratch? It's easiest to install LAMP using the Ubuntu Server CD. [10:09] !lamp | sanny : follow this guide [10:09] sanny : follow this guide: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [10:09] is there any way to zap where the configurations get stored for virtual resolutions [10:09] <_2> toehio because recovery mode uses more conservitive settings [10:10] i'll tell you how you DON'T install lamp: keep asking in this channel, and never read that guide. [10:10] anyone recommend a good ubuntu podcast [10:10] _2: How could I 'fix' the normal boot then? [10:10] I just downloaded gigabytes of messages and deleted all of them (2800 messages), now neither I can empty the trash nor I can delete them from the trash individually [10:10] when I press the delete button it moves to the next message without deleting the message [10:10] ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex [10:10] Can anyone tell me why I can't get my capslock to act as a control in 8.10? I have inserted the line with ctrl:nocaps in my xorg.conf as I always do, but it doesn't seem to work. [10:11] <_2> toehio i really don't know. you will need one of the developers on that. and this is notoriously a bad time to look for help about 12 hours off the peek. [10:11] ok, if I delete .config/monitors.xml will my laptop die? [10:12] <_2> toehio i'm not saying there aren't any awake yet. just that they are probably busy. so patience is a verute [10:12] <_2> ue [10:12] _2: thanks [10:12] _2: ive been trying to get it to work of about 6 months now [10:12] Dybber: Try going to System>Preferences>Keyboard>Layouts>Other Options...>Ctrl key position [10:12] <_2> econnrefused no it wont. [10:13] ok, ill give this a shot then [10:13] <_2> toehio have you asked in ##linux sometimes if i need answers i'm not getting here i go there [10:13] <_2> this channel is generally less technecal than the general linux channels [10:14] _2: thank you. I go there sometimes but i thought this was a more ubuntu-oriented channel [10:14] trimeta: this only works after some of the gnome-things starts, I'm using another window-manager and other customizations, so that doesn't work :( [10:14] <_2> too many generals in that army ;/ [10:15] <_2> toehio it is. and if you catch the right people helping in here they can solve your problem. unfortunately i'm not he [10:15] Dybber: Sorry; that's how it works on my system. [10:15] There's always xmodmap funkiness, but that's even harder to set up. [10:16] hello [10:16] nothing :| [10:18] hello. can someone pastebin me the vanilla rc.local from 8.10 Server? I accidentally hosed mine :) [10:19] rc.local by default has comments and one line. exit (0) at the end .. i recall. [10:19] * _2 usually breaks something then forgets about it for a while and stumbles onto it wondering why it's not working, comes in here asking all sorts of stupid questions, goes to ##linux doing the same, then remembers what he did that caused it, and quietly fixes it.... [10:20] rc.local -> several commentz and 'exit 0' at the end [10:20] first line -> #!/bin/sh -e [10:20] <_2> n838901 venella rc.local is empty basicly as Dr_willis said [10:20] dr_willis: I can't remember the syntax to run commands.. is it absolute path? [10:21] n838901, from rc.local? full paths would be safest [10:21] #!/bin/sh -e [10:21] commands & (& may be optional) [10:21] exit 0 === sniper is now known as Guest6033 [10:21] * _2 disagrees with -e on that [10:21] cant recall ever seeing -e used befor either [10:21] haha.. i have accidentally overwritten mine with something else [10:21] <_2> mainly because the user may want it to continue if one command fails. [10:21] what exactly does the '-e' do? [10:22] bash exits if any command fails [10:22] <_2> exit imediately upon error [10:22] oh ok [10:22] so better to leave that off [10:22] <_2> suscently -e == error && exit [10:22] I imagine it depends on thecommands you are doing. :) [10:22] been using linux for years but just now getting into bash scripting :D [10:22] How can i remove anything related to hamachi in my computer ? [10:23] <_2> generaly speaking i don't like -e [10:25] n838901, that advanced bash scripting guide. is a must read.. and must reread every month. :)P [10:25] * econnrefused considers rm ~/.* [10:25] Dr_willis: haha [10:26] <_2> econnrefused that may regex out, rm ~/.?* would protect the dot [10:26] is there anywhere to get vanilla config files in case i need them? [10:26] Hi :) http://paste.ubuntu.com/112000/ When I connect my external USB mouse to my laptop, the kernel seems to register it fine but it is unresponsive in X. I have confirmed that xev returns no events from the mouse even though the kernel seems to have detected it fine... [10:26] _2: I feel like smashing my computer! How the !$*@ can ubuntu not work on it! it can't even boot properly! even my windows works better than it! [10:26] <_2> else .* == everything [10:26] Any suggestions how to get my usb mouse working in X? [10:27] actually that might work [10:27] toehio: i had a laptop like that [10:27] <_2> toehio you have tried with boot options noacpi acpi=off ? [10:27] econnrefused: what do you want to remove? [10:27] toehio: ...i sold it :D [10:27] <_2> toehio nosplash ? [10:27] n838901: ha ha ha [10:28] _2: do i do that from grub? [10:28] <_2> toehio vga=0x0f04 [10:28] how can I find any files that have changed in the the last hours or so? [10:28] <_2> toehio yes [10:28] _2: i will try [10:28] <_2> toehio i'm just throwing out thoughts. kinda a shot in the dark [10:28] toehio: it would boot with noapic and nolapic but i would lose hardware connectivity..ie wlan and usb [10:28] prince_jammys: I plugged a second monitor into my laptop, agreed to change virtual resolution [10:29] <_2> toehio oh yeah and nolapic [10:29] my second screen displayed fine, but my laptop resolution has gone blurry, and wont go back after taking out the other monitor, restarting, deleting monitors.xml etc === bod_ is now known as Bodsda [10:30] <_2> econnrefused sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? [10:31] I want to remove all files with the word hamachi on my machine but doing rm | locate hamachi does not seem to work [10:31] Any ideas ? [10:32] B|ackPanther: You mean, all files whose names contain hamachi, or all files which contain hamachi within them? [10:32] <_2> yea your pipe is backwords [10:32] B|ackPanther: anywhere in your file system? [10:32] tried, brb [10:32] ¾È³çÇϼ¼¿ä^^* [10:32] Hello to all,i have a problem with my connection i fill the eth0 field and the internet in connected,when i turn off my pc auto eth0 are empty so i got to wirte the ips again ,what should i do to make configuration default not permanent [10:32] _2: ok, that made it boot! [10:32] price_jammys, anywhere in my system.I want to get rid of the hamachi files [10:32] <_2> toehio which one ? [10:32] B|ackPanther: You mean, files whose names contain hamachi? [10:33] i used all of them :) [10:33] <_2> :))) [10:33] B|ackPanther: this first, and remove the echo if the output looks good: find / -name '*hamachi*' -exec echo rm {} \; [10:33] trimeta, yes but i hope that wont mess up my computer. [10:33] <_2> toehio so start removing them until you find the one that hanges [10:33] _2: ok [10:33] you know that message you get when you start gdm that asks you to configure it? [10:34] B|ackPanther: To remove all files whose names contain hamachi, you'd do "locate hamachi | remove", as long as none of the file names have whitespace in them. [10:34] <_2> toehio no... [10:34] <_2> sorry [10:34] thank god I can see again [10:34] thanks [10:34] i put in a high resolution (1680x1050) and click save but it goes back to 800x600 [10:34] <_2> toehio i'm an avid console user, the gui i seldom see [10:34] _2: oh [10:34] I would definitely do a plain "locate hamachi" to verify that everything looks good before running it through rm. [10:35] bye now, thanksx all [10:35] B|ackPanther: you can't pipe to rm anyway. use the find command i posted [10:35] <_2> trimeta you have a command called "remove" ??? [10:36] _2: rm, sorry. [10:36] acpi=off solved it! [10:36] I changed my resolution higher than my screen allows and I couldnt see anything and couldnt even see the login screen. I re installed the nvidia drivers hoping it would go back to the default 1024x768 and it did but on on the login screen. As soon as I log in the resolution changes. [10:36] _2: what does acpi=off do? [10:36] <_2> trimeta and you can pipe into "rm" ? [10:36] Hi [10:37] _2: Well, no, I guess not. xargs it is, then. [10:37] <_2> toehio turns kernel support for acpi (power management) off [10:37] I suppose I didn't really think that through too much. [10:37] _2: if always use acpi=off could there be any problems? [10:37] <_2> trimeta i'm sorry for being such a pain. but how about rm `locate blah` [10:37] hi there! Why does on my recently installed xfce-desktop pop up that gnome-desktop? (got the gnome sticky paper applett in the taskbar - is the desktop started by it?) [10:38] _2: real dangerous [10:38] <_2> toehio is it a laptop ? [10:38] prince_jammys,thanks .seems to work but i dont really understand why it does. [10:38] _2: no, big desktop [10:38] I changed my resolution higher than my screen allows and I couldnt see anything and couldnt even see the login screen. I re installed the nvidia drivers hoping it would go back to the default 1024x768 and it did but only on the login screen. As soon as I log in the resolution changes. [10:38] B|ackPanther: if you remove the echo, the files will be deleted. [10:38] _2: Does rm's blank-separated argument list accept newlines as separators? [10:38] <_2> prince_jammys nah the origenal user was trying to delete hamachi [10:39] _2: nope. anything containing hamachi [10:39] trimeta: the arguments are handled by the shell, not by rm [10:40] <_2> trimeta good point heh so we have several things to overcome the "propper" way to attack this would be find ... or with locate locate hamachi | while read q ;do rm "$q" ;done [10:40] You know the amazing thing with that script you gave out prince_jammys is if actually listed the message i just typed in here which contains hamachi. [10:41] *it [10:41] B|ackPanther: huh? [10:41] _2: Probably in the end, I'd do something like "locate -0 hamachi | xargs -0 | rm" [10:41] and you'd get a broken pipe error [10:41] The sentence i typed in here that contains hamachi is also listed in the terminal [10:41] <_2> trimeta you still can't pipe into rm [10:42] Delete the last pipe, then. [10:42] let's do whatever we can to avoid using find, which is the best tool for this [10:42] <_2> B|ackPanther irc log file [10:42] prince_jammys: I have an aversion to find; it seems to reliably give me no results unless I finesse it heavily. Of course, I haven't exactly demonstrate competence here. [10:42] *demonstrated [10:43] <_2> prince_jammys that was the first answer. don't gripe because we were looking at other (probably less effecient) ways this is linux you know [10:43] What are the chances that if i deleted anything with the word "hamachi " i will messup my system ? [10:44] B|ackPanther: that's why i put 'echo' in the command. so you can verify. [10:44] <_2> B|ackPanther slim but you should still use caution [10:45] hi guys, is there a deb for google gadgets? [10:46] <_2> apt-cache search google [10:46] there's google earth, available through apt [10:46] how can i make ntpdate run at bootup? [10:47] <_2> init script [10:48] I changed my resolution higher than my screen allows and I couldnt see anything and couldnt even see the login screen. I re installed the nvidia drivers hoping it would go back to the default 1024x768 and it did but only on the login screen. As soon as I log in the resolution changes. [10:49] Gauntlet, press ctrl+alt+f1 and use vim to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file or just delete it, no harm either way [10:49] ok, did anyone install google gadgets? my friends here is loosing patience in ubuntu because of this... [10:49] hello [10:49] how is everyone [10:50] hi [10:50] <_2> sachael if they let one app make or break their use of linux, i'd tell them to go use windows. [10:50] * prince_jammys nods [10:50] _2, i told him that too :) [10:51] is "google gadgets" the name of the app? [10:51] anyone have a problem with their box freezing while running 8.10 server? [10:51] Bodsda I am new so example would be "sudo (letter to delete?) etc/X11/xorg.conf" correct? whats the letter for deleting? [10:51] sachael: he can download a deb package from getdeb.com [10:51] <_2> !find gadgets [10:51] File gadgets found in cl-mcclim, fp-units-fv, fpc-source, python-kiwi, tdiary-theme [10:51] or download gos gadgets [10:51] Gauntlet, sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [10:51] Bodsdat thanks [10:51] your welcome [10:52] sachael: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-google-gadgets-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html [10:52] farfan, thanks, is what was needed [10:52] ha, looks like someone googled your gadgets [10:53] <_2> Bodsda i hope he's using 8.x [10:53] which one was 8.10 intrepid or hardy? [10:53] sachael: intrepid [10:53] prince_jammys: ;-) [10:53] quibbler: how ironic [10:53] sachael: intrepid [10:53] iam haveing problams with my VirtualBox it want read usb [10:54] _2, why [10:54] prince_jammys: indeed [10:54] <_2> Bodsda because removing xorg.conf on earlier versions will break xorg [10:54] puppylinux [10:55] <_2> and yes i know he can reconfugre to make a new one [10:55] * prince_jammys would like to smack whoever changed the use of xorg.conf, right after i learn to edit it properly [10:55] No Volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. [10:55] * _2 nods [10:55] again and again. what can i do with that SHITTTTT!@!!!1!11 [10:55] i want to hear sound in my OS! [10:55] it worked yesterday and today again!!!1 DAMN!!!!! [10:55] tul_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:55] _2, no it wont, it will just make a minimal xorg when you log in -- or just run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from tty1 or whatever [10:55] two days of having sound working on the last year of using ubuntu. [10:55] has anyone had problems with kernel 2.6.27.11 and fglrx driver? i get black screen when i activate the driver [10:57] <_2> Bodsda i'll have to reboot to argue with yuou about that, i can't see a thing after testing to make surte [10:58] any1 knows anything about alsa?

When I ran "sudo apt-get install lvm2", it say "Package lvm2 is not available, but is referred to by another package.". Everything I can find online suggests I shouldn't need to do more than use apt-get. Anyone experienced this? [11:00] now i can argue about it. [11:01] i probably fat fingured several of those keys [11:01] mr_snarf: maybe you need to enable some repositories [11:01] !info lvm2 [11:01] lvm2 (source: lvm2): The Linux Logical Volume Manager. In component main, is optional. Version 2.02.39-0ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 350 kB, installed size 968 kB [11:01] the default ones wouldn't have it? [11:01] but anyway deleting xorg on dapper will leave me typing in the dark, and i'm a console user. [11:01] mr_snarf: ok, scrap that. it's in main. [11:01] xorg.conf that is. [11:01] hrm === Agent_bob is now known as _2 [11:02] * _2 is me [11:02] what do you mean by "its in main" ? [11:02] Why doesn't reportbug work in ubuntu? [11:03] <_2> mr_snarf see ubottu ^ [11:03] mr_snarf: it's in "component main" so you don't need to enable anything [11:03] oh, ok [11:03] well, other than main, which presumably is already enabled [11:04] meaning in sources.list? [11:04] <_2> by default [11:04] mr_snarf: yes [11:04] I'm not used to using apt-get [11:04] all the lines with 'main' also have 'restricted' after it [11:04] Does any one know how to get version of VirtualBox that supports USB Cause iam trying to save a VM on my USB Flash Drive [11:05] mr_snarf: that's ok [11:05] HotRod, i think you need the one from the web site. not the repos for that. [11:06] ok do i need to got to www.virtualbox.com or what is the website [11:06] HotRod: http://www.virtualbox.org And you need to enable USB [11:06] mr_snarf: they are lists of the components you have enabled. 'main' and 'restricted' are separate. the 'restricted' does not refer to main [11:06] ok ill try that thank you [11:06] prince_jammys: that makes sense, thanks [11:06] mr_snarf: in other words, the problem is somewhere else === sparklingshrew is now known as shinygerbil [11:07] HotRod: http://stikiflem.wordpress.com/2008/08/30/enable-usb-support-in-virtualbox/ [11:09] thanks dayo ill look into that also [11:12] It also says "E: Package lvm2 has no installation candidate [11:12] " [11:12] Why doesn't reportbug work in ubuntu? [11:13] mr_snarf: have you been able to install other packages without a problem? [11:13] I haven't tried any specific ones, but I've down an apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade successfully [11:14] I am running Ubuntu 8.10 x64 English, how can I enable it to input(keyboard) in Chinese characters (Pinyin)? Pls advise, thanks. [11:14] I have several 3rd party reprositories under software sources...medibuntu,winehq,launchpad etc... how can i determine what programs exits in what repository [11:15] PrebenR: because there is no bug :) [11:15] quibbler, the synaptic package manager has a filter feature for that. [11:15] Qualcuno sa come si fa ad entrare nella chat di libero? [11:15] ezibabler, well reportbug has one ;-) [11:16] ha [11:16] ezibabler, problem is that reportbug doesn't read reportbugrc and insist on using some ubuntu smtp which I don't have access to [11:16] Dr_willis: yes i know but some list are very long and i am looking for a faster way to search them [11:16] prince_jammys: I'm trying to find a package to specifically run 'sudo apt-get install ' and see if same problem occurs [11:17] mr_snarf: ok. worth a try [11:17] I get the same error with "apt-get install emacs" [11:17] nutzer [11:18] how do I get my "alt" key working again on my dell latitude d830 laptop [11:19] ? [11:19] mr_snarf: try sudo aptitude search "package name" [11:20] is aptitude the same as apt-get ? [11:20] yes but better [11:20] hey, why isnt aptitude updating my kernel headers on a kernel update and dmks not installing fglrx? (ive switched from default to -rt kernel)? ty [11:20] robin0800: it doesn't produce any output [11:21] Eww... can the resolv.conf "search" feature be disabled entirely? [11:21] ie instead of "ndots" option, skip search on anything that has dots? [11:22] That is, nothing shows up for "lvm2", but has 13 hits for "lvm"...but none seem to be right === Nightwal1er is now known as Nightwalker_ [11:22] most are "llvm" [11:22] mr_snarf: hm. your sources.list might be the problem [11:22] n/m [11:22] mr_snarf: if you can't even install emacs [11:23] mr_snarf: (which amusingly was the package i was going to recommend as a test) [11:23] Does any one know what .run files are, I'm trying to install Cuda... [11:23] when I installed from disc, there was no working network (had to manually get driver later) [11:23] heh [11:23] lucifer_Star, 'sh whateveer.run' or 'sudo sh whatever.run' [11:23] mr_snarf: you should pastebin the file and someone here will look at it [11:24] !pastebin | mr_snarf [11:24] mr_snarf: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[11:26] mr_snarf: I get this p lvm2 - The Linux Logical Volume Manager [11:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/112026/ [11:27] Dr_willis: well I suppose that would work, but I've done it before and know theres a simple one liner... see I want to pass the file i want a command to operate on to the terminal too, which with the file browser is a simple %s, rather than having to script for variables too :p [11:27] Hey Everyone! Who can help me to config my Bluetooth device?? Please help// Znam też język Polski [11:27] czesc [11:28] hello/ czesc :) === Nightwalker_ is now known as Nightwalker- [11:28] And i've got problem with reboot and shutdown :/ [11:28] czesc!

[11:33] hello [11:33] ziroday, i cant figure if that's saying i have to mess with config files or not... [11:33] hey [11:33] Medalgod, see http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/ [11:33] Hi, I've just received one of those "check out the awesome pics..." virus message on emesene... from a contact who is actually offline now (my gf) with whom i share this computer and so she uses emesene too [11:33] mr_snarf: sudo apt-get update first [11:33] mr_snarf: and then try to install lvm2 [11:33] did that [11:33] mr_snarf: ok [11:33] i mean i didn't know this virus existed for linux too ??? [11:33] i'd like to know if we can retrieve the notes from an installation using another installation? via the files? [11:33] notes from the notepad tool [11:33] elkbuntu: It doesn't appear so, there appears to be bug with resume from suspend but other then that you're good. The wiki page is somewhat old as well [11:33] it appeared to fail on the ones I added 'main' to (directory didn't exist) [11:34] I installed ubuntustudio 8.10, when I placed a starter (mozilla, Evolution) the running tasks, wich are placed also on the top are not visible anymore. How can I access the panel, where the running tasks are placed? [11:34] mr_snarf: if you get stuck here, there's also #ubuntu-server, i think [11:34] ziroday, i was hoping for actual up-to-date feedback. out of date stuff google gives me quite readily [11:35] elkbuntu: sure [11:35] this may be important: To install make (to allow me to build and install my network drivers), I had to do "sudo apt-cdrom add", and install from cd. I later commented out the lines it had added to sources.list [11:35] oh, didn't realise that channel was there, woops [11:36] mr_snarf: i looked for that, but figured that since the lines were commented out, there would be no problem [11:37] could you pastbin your sources.list file, and I could try that maybe? [11:37] or just the server address anyway [11:37] i have a problem with panel [11:37] disappeared [11:38] i dont see icoin on the bottom [11:38] and menu start [11:38] What DEB program package does provide the file /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24/Documenatation/i2c/dev-interface in Ubuntu 8.04.2? packages.ubuntu.com could not find it.

[11:38] nevermind actually, found the server I wnated [11:38] i need to see the same screen as he does [11:38] i have xubuntu [11:39] amischi: in that case xfce4-panel, you can check with ps aux | grep xfce4-panel [11:39] anyway with mouse( i have a laptop) I CAN START WITH EVERYTHING [11:40] js_: yes under System > Preferences > Remote Desktop. But to work over the internet he will have to setup port forwarding [11:40] is it possible that the problem is java sun [11:40] amischi: I am still not sure what the problem is, can you go over it again please? [11:40] mr_snarf: mine would be no good. i run hardy [11:40] ziroday: yeah, that's already done, thanks [11:41] js_: you might want to take a look at http://code.google.com/p/gitso/ however YMMV with it [11:42] gnome panel rubbing === sparklingshrew is now known as shinygerbil [11:43] but is not shown the icon on the top and botton [11:44] amischi: could you take a screenshot and upload it please, I still can't quite understand you're problem.

You might have better luck there [11:44] I'll have to investigate that further [11:44] i m with you [11:45] anyon know how to get cellwriter, or some other OSK, to work with GDM?

[12:46] mc68040, but maybe all packages will be supported not sure [12:46] mc68040: hrmm... no backports probably too [12:46] binarymutant: in main are the desktop packages too. they are only supported until 2011 [12:47] I cant make my resolution any higher than 1024x768, with nvidia settings. how can i make a custom resolution? [12:47] mc68040, how do you know? [12:47] hi folks [12:48] does the empathy version included in 8.10 not have suport for irc? [12:48] I would hate to use only pidgin only for irc [12:48] asi am trying to switch to it [12:48] binarymutant: cant imagine that abiword belongs to server edition (for example) [12:49] tgpraveen: you can try xchat for irc [12:49] or irssi and screen [12:49] hi which vnc viewer/server do I need to install to have an identical one like the one on this website?http://www.realvnc.com/products/download.html tightvnc, vnc4server [12:49] mc68040, I don't think that matters, because abiword will still get security updates and stuff [12:51] mc68040, but again I'm not totally sure, when you say support are you paying for it? or do you mean it still gets security updates? [12:51] can anyone tell me where to find a drive's file sdb or something like that? [12:51] binarymutant: security updates until 2013 is the important point for me [12:51] mrwes but can someone confirm whether empathy has irc support or not? [12:52] on the website it says that it does [12:52] for example: racoon is in main but not on server edition cd [12:52] mc68040, I'm pretty sure everything in main will get security updates for LTS [12:53] mc68040, heh if not, debian won't put out it's new edition until 2013, maybe longer :) [12:53] what? [12:53] 2013? [12:53] lol [12:53] binarymutant: until 2011 im sure too, but until 2013 only server edition packages [12:54] can i ask..where can i find utf-8?because my media player cant play subtitle.. [12:54] tgpraveen: then look at the changelog, see when it was implemented and compare the version to ubuntu packages [12:54] binarymutant: well, im using debian until now and consider to switch to ubutu lts :-) [12:54] mc68040, I think they use the same repos, #ubuntu-server might help better though [12:54] isn't the new nvidia driver in envyng because it is not very stable or does envyng generally not support newer drivers in one ubuntu release? [12:54] savvas: yeah that's one way to do it. [12:55] no, ubuntu is much better than debian!

[12:58] currently i have a windows 7 bootloader in my boot disk which contains xp (7 has been removed). should i run fixmbr to make sure xp boots as if 7 was never there or can i restore grub right away? menu.lst hasnt been touched at all so it contains one entry for windows xp [12:58] gizmo_, subtitle.srt or subtitle.sub? [12:59] sub [12:59] paul68, most of them work the same.

[13:43] LaUd check the ubuntu promo wiki? [13:43] thanks [13:44] Hi, I wonder if somebody could help me. I had Ubuntu running on a laptop, which later died due to hardware failure (motherboard, I believe). I took out the hard drive and put it in an external enclosure. I am able to boot from it on the desktop computer in the library, but not from this laptop that my friend leant me. I checked: the BIOS does support boot from USB external hard drive. It starts, GRUB starts, I get the Ubunt [13:45] If it makes any difference, I had Xubuntu installed but running gnome. [13:46] i have a problem...when i try to search a package in synaptics it can't be found..but when i open terminal and write apt-get install smplayer for example, it is installing [13:46] xanxor: most likely it's due to changed mount locations... but it's been years since I've actually tried it, and with some of the newer "uuid" type mounts, I could be wrong.. [13:47] xanxor, what error appears? [13:47] Dusk_: are you -sure- you have the "all" group selected when searching? otherwise it searches the group you have selected. [13:47] break19: Yeah, it's a UUID mount. I'm not even sure what that means, do you have any suggestions as to what to do about it? And if it's a mount issue, why is it even loading GRUB and the ubuntu loading screen? [13:47] mchelen: No error. Screen just goes black. [13:48] break19, all is selected yes...when i try to look for packages by Origin it says there's no package in universe, multiverse repos [13:48] xanxor: because grub is installed on the mbr.. and the bios knows to load it.. do a google search on grub, disable the splash screen at boot, and see what happens.. any errors are bound to give ya better insight. [13:48] dusk: shrugs then [13:49] break19, what? [13:49] break19: By splash screen, do you mean the thing I keep calling the loading screen? [13:49] xanxor: yea [13:49] anyone know how to figure out which repo is causing this? W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY C5E6A5ED249AD24C [13:49] break19: So if I google grub it will tell me how to disable it?

[14:23] I am running Ubuntu 8.10 x64, Gnome is the default desktop env, and i wish to change it to use xfce, how can i do it without reinstall it from xubuntu ? thanks [14:23] I've seen some tutorials and all are extremely complicated for such trivial issue. [14:24] ni5687 [14:24] nomingzi: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [14:25] jatt: if you're asking how to do it, then how do you know it's a trivial issue?

[14:26] exodus_ms: now, as it happens, I *do* know how to change the ubuntu logo to the gnome foot, but jatt will never know that now [14:26] UnknownFear: that sound card is supported by linux, but the ubuntu kernel natively has the module that manage that card is not compiled. This means that you have do it manualy... not easy task for a newbie [14:27] it's very complicated, it should be a lot easier I think (e.g. some tutorial recommend to download an icon file, resize it with gimp, etc.) [14:27] Would anyone be able to direct me to a bit of help?

[15:04] ;D i didxD [15:04] newbie [15:05] xnmrph: if you have a file owned by user1 and which group group1 can acceed, you can change this to user2 by typing chown user2 file, and if you also want to change the group, then chmod user2:group2 file [15:05] new security feature - to stop drive-by-browser bugs on websites, they mark all sites as harmful [15:05] SiDi: On this machine, I have one account. Call it "me" I want to change the owner of the files on this vfat partition from "root" to "me" so I can rw them [15:06] SiDi: good stuff. I'd suggest getting pulseaudio to work and using that as the output, or if you can't, set the 'autospawn=false' bit in /etc/pulseaudio/client.conf [15:06] SiDi: remember xnmrph is trying this on a vfat [15:06] i dont find a deb. file for america amry!!!!!!!! ;S all link its kinda f*** up [15:06] paulr: instead of drive-by-shooting for people, its drive-by-browsing for websites :P [15:06] xnmrph: i don't exactly know how it works but you have to set the rights and owner when you mount the partition [15:06] If I try to change permissions via "gksudo nautilus", it says I don't have the necessary permissions [15:07] SiDi, xnmrph: please use the link that ubottu gave you [15:07] The vfat partition is mounted: auto,user,rw [15:07] xnmrph: you can't directly change rights on vfat/ntfs partitions as it is not supported. That's why it's recommanded using ext3 instead of vfat, but i assume you got windows and don't have the choice :) Try to find how to give read/write rights to your user instead of root [15:07] I've already followed a guide on how to mount the partition. [15:07] is ubuntu totally virus free or some antivirus is available [15:07] i'm trying to install vmware tools in ubuntu and having tons of problems... i wondered if there were any straightforward guides for 8.10... i had to manually edit one of the linux kernel headers and now its dying saying it can't find my X.org version [15:07] dinesh372: u can try clamwin for linux [15:07] is there a way i could search the repository for a file which would be installed by a package, i know the file name but not the package which it comes in [15:07] my ipod touch its a camera!!! i cant synk musick!!!!!!! ffs [15:08] xnmrph: well i think you can set the UID of the owner when mounting, and then you should have it set to 1000 instead of 0 (1000 is the user created at install) [15:08] dinesh372: there are no known viruses for linux, though. [15:08] ok, and back to my original question: is there a way to pass options via command line to "dpkg reconfigure"? I'd like to pass it options to reconfigure ipmasq without having to enter it's little ansi menu... [15:08] !virus | dinesh372 [15:08] dinesh372: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [15:08] i need help with exim4!!!!!!!! [15:08] war10ck: The iPod Touch does not work with Linux, unless it is jailbroken. Here is the link to the Linux installation of America's Army Special Forces http://files.filefront.com/Americas+Army+Special+Forces+Linux+Full+Install/;3760475;/fileinfo.html [15:08] Okay -- attempted to install "openoffice.org-java-common_2.0.2-2ubuntu12.7_all.deb" and the official status after downloading is "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libjaxp 1.2-java" [15:08] OK, but....I've copied the files from an NTFS partition to the VFAT partition. I didn't think FAT supported rights so I imagined that they would have been lost in the copy (?) [15:08] barisha: u might want to try #ubuntu-server [15:08] dinesh372: you get antivirus software for Linux, but it's only really useful for scanning files in email and on servers to stop other OSes getting infected [15:08] anyone else notice google being screwed up atm? [15:08] bnovc: its a commone problem. Make sure your headers are correct, and make sure your vmware tools can find them. The how-tos are many and decent. [15:09] every how-to i've found so far is wrong [15:09] thz [15:09] CyD news coming in from everwhere on that one [15:09] CyD yes we all know [15:09] CyD: Yes, we ALL notice it [15:09] war10ck: No problem :P [15:09] Also, to the admin - recommend a MOTD change WRT Google. [15:09] bnovc: no, they work [15:09] thanks [15:09] tba [15:09] That way, they'll stop asking. [15:09] kroisis: man dpkg-reconfigure tells you how [15:09] soundray thanks man [15:09] how to open a virus file as i want to read it [15:09] Jeruvy: apparently not because i've tried 3 or 4 and they all lead to errors [15:09] bnovc: what error? [15:10] Jeruvy: why is this a common problem? [15:10] soundray i must be brain-dead this morning or I'd have thought of that (lol) [15:10] If I sudo, though, I am effectively root, yes? So I should be able to change the permissions (?) [15:10] hey i got initramfs at startup....any idea???? [15:10] thaytan: actually pulseaudio doesn't launch on my session. it doesnt seem to be used by default yet on xubuntu installs, and i actually prefer staying on alsa as linux games and wine dont support pulseaudio correctly yet [15:10] Jeruvy: well i first got an error about my kernel being the wrong version, so i edited version.h ... and now i'm onto the X.org one [15:10] Jack_Sparrow: I replied, but you did not answer. My sound card is supported [15:10] in what folder can i find the awn config files? [15:10] bnovc: because most ppl download the wrong headers, vmware tools can't find them.. vmware.com is full of posts who cannot setup the headers properly. [15:10] UnknownFear What sound card make and chipset [15:10] Jeruvy: i did "apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`" [15:11] hey i got initramfs at startup....any idea???? [15:11] I have a CREATIVE EMU10K1 SBB0220 card [15:11] xnmrph: NO, you can't change permissions on a file system that does not have support for it [15:11] bnovc: what how-to did you follow? [15:11] what u think? itunes for linux soon? [15:11] Jack_Sparrow, am I doing something wrong WRT installing openoffice.org-java-common? I googled and pulled the package off of packages.ubuntu.com. [15:11] How did the permissions get set in the first place then since I used nautilus to copy them (?) === Traveler67 is now known as klot [15:12] Jeruvy: i'm not sure, i've been searching for things like "ubuntu 8.10 vmware-tools" [15:12] xnmrph: you can't change the permissions on vfat/ntfs partitions. These file systems don't have the same permission system than under linux and we don't know how to modify them [15:12] xnmrph: Linux forces a default permission setting on all files in a FAT [15:12] jared1 Are you trying to get a newer version that from the repo for your release? [15:12] xnmrph: they're set when you mount the partition [15:12] The default is ro/root ? [15:12] bnovc: did you read the instruction included with vmware? [15:13] Well, to be fair -- when I installed 8.10...no JRE at all [15:13] xnmrph: the default is rw for root and r for the others if i'm not wrong [15:13] xnmrph: now if you could be bothered to read that link, you'd learn how you can change that default. [15:13] war10ck: What do you mean by iTunes or Linux soon? [15:13] When I boot I get an error from xorg: (EE) Problem parsing the config file (EE) Error parsing the config file. What do I do ? if I remove the xorg.conf file the problem is gone but then all the colors are wicked. [15:13] is it just me or is everything in google results harmfull to my pc? [15:13] itunes for linux [15:13] bnovc: did you review the forums.vmware.com? many common mistakes are highlighted there. [15:13] Jeruvy: no... i didn't realize it had instructions for it...none are on the CD it mounts [15:13] Gauntlet: YES!! People have been saying this for the past hour [15:13] Gauntlet We know about google thanks [15:13] LOL?

[15:14] bnovc: no, they come with your vmware package (whichever one) [15:14] this is kind of off topic, but google is being useless and I cannot find the info on the freenode site....how do I register a channel on freenode? [15:14] war10ck: please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [15:14] ok [15:14] whisperkiller: see #freenode [15:14] Jeruvy: so the command i ran to install my headers is wrong?

[15:16] is anyone there pretty decent at ubuntu? [15:16] soundray: Is that for links? I'm not quite following you. Do you mean making a question mark or ending your question? [15:16] bnovc: like I said, installing vmware-tools is a very common issue for many. You'll need to follow the how tos and deal with the error one by one. [15:16] i am a linux n00b and need help with dual booting [15:16] Jack_Sparrow, after fresh installing Ubuntu 8.10 (last week), there was no java in the release. I run OO and under tools, no JRE.

[15:18] !sound | natrixnatrix89 [15:18] natrixnatrix89: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [15:18] natrixnatrix89: actually kill any .exe thing in the system monitor. Wine uses alsa by default and as you're using pulseaudio the sound gets locked till you get wine entirely closed (and sometimes you need to kill the wine processes manually because it crashed) [15:18] moin [15:18] natrixnatrix89 HAve you been to #Winehq [15:18] soundray: Ah, I understand now.

[15:24] bnovc: and you don't have that? [15:24] bnovc: the only tip is make sure you're using a good kernel version (typically with ubuntu this isn't a problem) and verify the locations. Some kernels simply won't work with vmware tools (see forums.vmware.com) [15:24] google for many hours was show ing a warning on every link it would say "warning, this site may not be safe" [15:24] hi all...how can I know when a file was created?

[15:25] Jeruvy: well, i'm sure its well written and would say "this version is not supported" (or probably not)... but i think i would have seen that 8.10 doesn't work with vmware all over?

[15:26] Joelito, thats as good as you re going to get i imagine.. [15:26] oh...well..thanks [15:26] thx jack what was the deal? [15:26] bnovc: I see, that's annoying. Perhaps you can save the error messages to a file on a USB stick and transfer it to your host system via that. [15:26] The ubuntu standard charset. [15:26] bnovc: I even have jaunty running esxi atm. [15:26] jared1 sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [15:27] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [15:27] Jeruvy: so, if you're able to install it, then it must be my vmware-tools installer that is the broken part... i do have a pretty old workstation version [15:27] !aptfix [15:27] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [15:27] and replace it with what?

[15:28] goran__: if noone has the answer here you should have a look at #kubuntu [15:28] hello [15:28] bnovc: that is pretty old, but should still work, the errors are key to a solution however. [15:28] UnknownFear tells me his sources list.. it is a command, not a link [15:28] jared1 if done right , it will return a http link for me [15:29] Jack_Sparrow oh, lol.

[16:13] anyone know which apt-get package I should get to get the man pages for "semop"? [16:13] KruyKaze: no, just do ifdown eth0, no errors.. then ifup eth0. [16:13] <|TheBarold|> rdw200169: i know i have libmtp.so.7 installed, seen that in synaptic, you would think it would cross reference [16:13] Hi, I'm a bit concerned that the viruses / trojans I receive by e-mail might be running through wine (they might not do too much harm as they are written for win32 systems, but I don't want them in my box at all).

[16:14] bazhang, I've already got it, but that doesn't provide realtime protection. [16:14] KruyKaze: ok, then your static settings are wrong. [16:14] aar, realtime protection for what? are you connecting the wine apps to a windows box? [16:15] jj_: are you on 32 or 64 bits? [16:15] 64 [16:15] KruyKaze: but lets take another peek at /etc/network/interfaces once more [16:15] i reverified my settings [16:15] hi all im having a problem with the 8.10 livecd dropping to busy box during bootup, i have a nvidia 750a chipset mb. any suggestions? [16:15] jj_: I'd appreciate if you asked prior to sending PMs [16:15] Hi there... got a problem with my Touchpad with 8.04 on my Eee 701. synclient reports it's working, but my mouse does't move, ... and in the touchpad settings sensitivity is set to it's lowest, and I can't raise it... Think got something to do with Xorg.conf, .. would that be right? [16:16] yes i am sorry about that [16:16] Jeruvy: it seems like my card is not even detecting the ethernet cable [16:16] didnt know if you left [16:16] bazhang, realtime protection against win32 malware that might auto-execute, or which I might run believeing it to be something it is not. clamav works for on-demand scan, but not as a real-time AV solution. [16:16] can anyone tell me which package semop.3 man page isin? [16:16] another thought is that files may be are probably replaced by physical access, soundray, today i was not at home and my server was not working near two hours maybe somebody has switched it off to access. i do not remember exactly whether autostart was configured in bios :( . it would be good if i could check files with other peoples not reinstalling whole system for some suspend [16:16] riley_dt, apt-file find semop [16:16] KruyKaze: could be. Cables go bad all the time :) [16:16] aar, infect what though? [16:16] thanks eut! [16:16] riley_dt, sure [16:17] any ideas about my brightness issue? [16:17] <|TheBarold|> rdw200169: just installed libmtp-dev with root gdebi, still get same error [16:17] jj_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/112133/ long command, careful [16:17] alright thx [16:17] bazhang, since wine creates a layer between win32 commands and linux commands, some of the malware funtiosn will be "translated", so the effects might not be as dire as in a win32 box, but you could find that the virus spreads itself through the /usr directory, for instance. [16:18] Jeruvy: i'll try another cable [16:18] bazhang, I was thinking more along the lines of something that would prompt a confirmation every time a win32 application is run, so I can confirm whether it is something I want to run or not. [16:18] http://pastebin.ca/1322350 when i do a aptitude update or aptitude install -f or aptitude safe-upgrade I get the following libz associated error anyone know how to fix?

Think got something to do with Xorg.conf, .. would that be right? [16:19] is firestarter a bad option to setup firewall rules? [16:19] |TheBarold|, i'm sorry, but i don't know :( this looks like something ubuntu packages can't fix [16:19] hikenboot, hey - thanks for the info - checking google now :) [16:19] wine, xwine, cross-over, virtual machine? [16:19] PsynoKhi0, the Firestarter firewall is excellent [16:19] PsynoKhi0: depends on your needs [16:19] <|TheBarold|> rdw200169: it weird, i have installed it from .deb, from apt-get and from source, neither works [16:19] dougl, and FreeDOS for DOS applications [16:20] |TheBarold|, yes, that library seems to be missing completely [16:20] aar: or DosBox ;P [16:20] woot ! good stuff guys thanks :) [16:20] anyone know how to fix kernel panic error? [16:20] !firestarter | rdw200169 [16:20] rdw200169: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [16:20] I know the problem is a bad libz but how do i fix http://pastebin.ca/1322350? [16:20] erUSUL, yup [16:20] atlef, don't tell me!, tell PsynoKhi0 [16:20] it might also be a conflict with evolution [16:20] PsynoKhi0 : http://paste.ubuntu.com/112135/ [16:20] I'm running 8.04 and my wifi (intel 2200) is broken, apparently since an update. is there anybody here in the same case?

[16:20] <|TheBarold|> rdw200169: thanks for the help, i'll keep working on it [16:21] <|TheBarold|> let you know if i figure out a fix or not [16:21] rdw200169: well, firestarter is not a firewall, it is only a gui for iptables [16:21] how can i compile a kernel the ubuntu way? i've found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile but it shows nowhere the commands to start the compilation if youre _not_ using the sources from git [16:21] <|TheBarold|> rdw200169: or do have any other recommendations for a Nomad mp3 player file browser? [16:22] Jeruvy: i'll try another plug [16:22] Jeruvy: brb [16:22] atlef, please, i'm not an idiot; i use firestarter, and i've build firewalls from scratch; it's easier to say 'firewall' than to say 'an abstraction layer above iptables' [16:22] join #server homelien.no [16:22] pulseaudio suddenly doesnt recognize my sound device but alsamixer in terminal does just find how can i get my sound back? [16:22] /join #server homelien.no [16:22] rdw200169: ok, because a few posts on the ubuntu forums advised against it due to its age [16:23] rdw200169: ok, but it still is not a firewall [16:23] Hi there... got a problem with my Touchpad with 8.04 on my Eee 701. synclient reports it's working, but my mouse does't move, ... and in the touchpad settings sensitivity is set to it's lowest, and I can't raise it... And also if I go to the edge of my touchpad my mouse slowly moves... [16:24] jj_: can't uninstall form the original shell script either? [16:24] from* [16:25] PsynoKhi0, well, in order to appease atlef, let me put it this way: Firestarter implements a very adequate iptables configuration that is reliable, safe, and highly configurable; consequentially, the features it provides in the GUI are easy to implement and change; firestarter is the only easy to use package that i know of that both supports internet connection sharing and port-blocking/opening [16:25] how can i compile a kernel the ubuntu way? i've found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile but it shows nowhere the commands to start the compilation if youre _not_ using the sources from git [16:25] eut should apt-file update take awhile or give any kind of notification message while it is running?

I shut down to install 4x2GB RAM modules and now I can't get dual head to work again. Unfortunately I didn't back up the working config file, either. [17:33] Stefano: that means that every time you have to enter a password, rather than caching it for each time. See password recovery if you've lost the password. [17:33] guntur_roxx: use supported hardware :) [17:34] sholsinger -> should still be same eh? did you modify it after adding those memories?

[17:34] Jeruvy : gosh..is there another option for me? [17:35] Stefano: hmm well passwords either work or they don't. I'm not sure if I understand what your saying. [17:35] konradee: _I_ didn't. But after seeing that neither monitor would work, I booted into recovery mode to see what happened to my xorg.conf and I saw the option to "xfix" so, I chose that. And... Now I can get one monitor working with the nv driver, at least.

[17:36] Jeruvy, sorry, I'll try to explain. I set Evolution using password1 then changed password in password2. Every time I try to download mail in Evolution it asks me password and it only works if I insert password1 [17:37] stefano: just tried the instructions on that link, it didn't work [17:37] sholsinger: does that app 'nvidia-settings' recognize the dual monitors? [17:37] Can anyone help me with a remote desktop issue? (related to resolution) [17:37] how do I make the file system writable in Maintanence mode? [17:37] this is very bad because I have another PC where I don't know password1, but only password2 [17:38] guntur_roxx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [17:38] lawndart: any luck? I have an untouched kismet.conf if you need it. [17:38] FilteredMojo, thank u for the link, I'll read now [17:38] I'm trying to format 13 Gb unused space on my HDD to test NTFS usage between XP and Ubuntu but since Gparted has NTFS format option greyed out I take it that it's not possible / sensible to format to NTFS in Ubuntu? [17:38] Stefano: so you have gpg/pgp encrypted email you are trying to open? [17:38] f4nt: Unfortunately, I cannot get the PC to properly boot with the nvidia driver. [17:38] sholsinger -> oh well, you wont be able to recover the old settings if you had chosen to fix... sorry dont know how to fix that [17:39] sholsinger: sorry, missed that I think. I've had some odd situation like this with my laptop where it would boot up and just hate my nvidia driver [17:39] Stefano: or are you having trouble with POP/IMAP logging in? [17:39] Jeruvy, I don't have encrypted email [17:40] hi [17:40] Jeruvy, exactly. The problem is with POP mail [17:40] f4nt: Well, the PC will boot, but X tries 3 times to initialize the video with my xorg.conf. Then gives the option to use "safe mode" and I choose shutdown. Then it transfers into a low VGA mode, shows the Ubuntu login screen, starts playing the login sound and locks up entirely. [17:40] sholsinger: If I remember correctly, I nuked my xorg.conf, kicked X, and prayed for good fortune. Thankfully the nVidia gods smiled on me the last time it happened. [17:40] Stefano: I would go to your POP host, and reset the password, then confirm settings in evolution. [17:41] f4nt: yeah I think i'll have to do that as well. I'm going to keep my current xorg.conf for backup and start working on a new one. Unfortunately I've been unable to find really good documentation on writing an xorg.conf from scratch. [17:41] Jeruvy, You mean on my PC where I have problems? [17:41] Jeruvy, You mean "File->Forget passwords"? [17:41] konradee: Thanks for your help. :) [17:41] sholsinger: I know it's "cheating" but I let the 'nvidia-settings' app write my conf's for me. Just don't have time to fuss with that crap anymore :) [17:41] Stefano: I mean the POP host, where you connect to POP mail. [17:42] f4nt: Yeah I did that this last time too, but it epic failed. [17:42] i went to boot up my system and it said SEIG FAIL! [17:42] Got it to work, thanks to all for the help! [17:42] dont bother helping me [17:42] sholsinger -> you're welcome [17:42] Hi, I have a G845 motherboard computer which seems to have resolution problems. It defaulted to xvesa and is giving me a 90 FPS in GLXGEARS. Help. [17:44] stefano, still here? [17:44] f4nt: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m41112a66 <--- behold the failed nvidia-xconfig attempt [17:44] FilteredMojo, Yes [17:44] hi [17:44] is it possible to use the zetabyte file system (zfs) as a partition in ubuntu? and if so, can i use it as a boot partition? [17:44] i'm giving up on evolution, want to switch to thunderbird with me? [17:45] FilteredMojo, I've read your link but it didn't solve [17:45] FilteredMojo, I agree... :-) [17:45] FilteredMojo, I've been using thunderbird for years; the only problem i have with it is related to a plugin, the gnupg plugin [17:45] Stefano: keep in mind some ISP's will give you 3 attempts then ban your IP. So its a good idea to confirm that isn't a problem. [17:45] FilteredMojo, anyway now I cannot change client because my problem is on a PC of a friend [17:45] gdw: what is that plugin in for? [17:45] hi so am installing right now, and in manual selection I selected /dev/sdb4 to be formatted and told it to mount it at / , but it is still saying used: unknown .. is that allright ? [17:45] sholsinger: want mine? [17:46] sholsinger: I'm using dual monitors on a laptop, should be similar enough for a starting point. [17:46] Jeruvy, my problem is not with POP password [17:46] hello guys, would anyone know about gspcav driver for webcams,picture is way too dark, skype forum says http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=101297&st=260&p=466271&#entry466271 but cant find that on my gspca_spca561 (some logitech quickcam) [17:46] stefano: that makes it more complicated [17:46] Stefano: sorry, then I don't understand you. [17:46] f4nt: Yeah, that'd be great. I could use a reference point. [17:47] Jeruvy, I have to insert the local password on my PC to let Evolution to work. password1 and password2 I've written before are passwrod on my Linux PC [17:47] Stefano: what password, for what? how did you perform this? [17:47] when I am using adept - is it typical to get 40 kB/s or can I tweak this up? [17:47] jel' zna neko kako da napravim server ? [17:47] jel' zna neko kako da napravim server ?

[17:49] Jeruvy, one month ago I set a password password1 on my Linux host and configured Evolution with POP3. Everything worjed perfeclty. Then I canged password on my Linux PC in password2 and every time I try to download mail with Evolution I have to insert password1 to make it work [17:49] hi, really need help on this, I need to make sure that i have lenny version of libc6 (2.7.18) [17:49] Jeruvy, I receive the error "Enter password for default keyrings to unlock" [17:49] How do I get rid of the default panel? [17:49] Stefano: " I set a password password1 on my Linux host" how? passwd user newpass? [17:49] f4nt: Merci! :) [17:49] Anyone know how I can check if hardware acceleration is working? [17:50] Jeruvy, using System->Administration->Users and Groups [17:50] sholsinger: Np! [17:50] How do you deactivate gnome panel?

[17:58] lvella: what happened to them [17:58] vixus: openjdk is nice because of it's license and all.. But when it comes to performance it leaves a bit to be desired. If the licensing of Sun's JDK doesn't bother you, I'd recommend using it for better performance. [17:58] Jeruvy, I'm really really sorry but I don't know how to explain in a different way [17:58] Jeruvy, the problem is in Evolution [17:59] yoyoned, after installing kde [17:59] Jeruvy, but when I change a password in Ubuntu [17:59] Stefano: ok, lets stay with that :) [17:59] arooni-mobile, are u trying to extract or compress?

Hey, unmount the drive before issuing that command.

[18:07] linux_guy: unetbootin [18:07] linux_guy, do you want a script(GUI) that I wrote to make your formatting easier? [18:07] Jack_Sparrow: sorry [18:07] Jeruvy, done [18:07] vish, thanks, that was easy enough though [18:07] f4nt: particle simulation project for class -- very important [18:07] Jeruvy, now I can download mail with POP [18:07] question, what is the default english keymap file? /keymap/??? [18:08] Has anyone used Gparted with NTFSprogs to format NTFS partition? [18:08] np [18:08] Stefano: Ok, very strange. but hurrah! [18:08] matisse upgrading from what to what [18:08] Jeruvy :-) [18:08] You can use that script to do it without the command line. [18:08] vixus: Nice. Hope all goes well with it :) [18:08] alright, cheers guys [18:08] where is unetbootin? [18:08] Jeruvy, But i'm sure next time I'll start my session I'll have the same problem [18:08] i cant find it in the repos [18:09] matisse sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list tell me the link it gives you [18:09] Jack_Sparrow: linux-image-2.6.24-23-generic 2.6.24-23.46 to ...48 [18:09] Stefano: I would agree with you [18:09] Jeruvy, it will ask me admin password I set 1 month ago [18:09] what is openmp? [18:09] question, what is the default english keymap file? /keymap/??? [18:09] Jeruvy, so I have to keep this problem? [18:09] Hi...just migrated from Ubuntu and finally got wireless working....the only problem Ihave now is that the keyboard sometimes misses out characters as I type such as 'hllo' etc ... I have Ubuntu on a separate partition and I dont have such problems in Windows...? Laptop is ADVENT 5611 [18:09] matisse That isnt our kernel [18:09] no? [18:10] matisse what release are you running [18:10] Jack_Sparrow: someone was in here a few hours ago wanting to upgrade from 7.04. Do you know the link to the applicable docs [18:10] yoyoned yes, I have it [18:10] Jack_Sparrow: 7.10 === unknown is now known as Thomas82 [18:10] f4nt i followed those directions [18:10] yoyoned deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty main restricted universe multiverse [18:10] deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-updates main restricted universe multiverse [18:10] deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty-security main restricted universe multiverse [18:10] bastones: Does this behavior only occur when typing relatively fast, or can you reproduce it with certain keys? Note: Not blaming you for typos, I have a similar issue, and it's not a typo related problem. :) [18:10] i need a program to make a usb drive bootable [18:11] Jack_Sparrow can i ask you something here? [18:11] linux_guy, unetbootin [18:11] usser, i cant find it in the repos [18:11] Hi f4nt... I'm not entirely sure... but even when creating new tab in FF (CTRL + F) seems to not work once or twice... but it may be related to typing too fast for it to recognise what I type...not sure [18:11] matisse Ok, I was not reading it correctly.. see the info on feisty repos [18:12] Jack_Sparrow: for starting your posted command I have to kill the update [18:12] linux_guy, its not, you'll have to download it, theres a deb package installs easily to with sudo dpkg -i unetbootin*.deb [18:12] bastones: Ever try with an external keyboard by chance? [18:12] lkgfjsa As long as it is support related.. yes [18:12] Stefano: you may want to look at fixing the user permissions http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=211761 [18:12] is that method known as CLI? [18:12] linux_guy, try finding it in packages.ubuntu.com [18:12] Question : what is Apic , and does it make a difference if its off ?? [18:12] matisse dont worry about that command, finish what you started [18:12] Is there any way to get to runlevel 3 without being thrust into X ? [18:13] Jeruvy, ok thank you so much. I'll try it! Thank you very very very much! [18:13] bastones: I've determined that my Acer's keyboard is just utter crap personally. If I start wailing away on it, keystrokes get missed, but a decent keyboard externally never reproduces the issue. [18:13] sholsinger: every time you reboot? [18:13] Stefano: cheers [18:13] linux_guy, ah they created a universal installer instead of providing packages for each distribution here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=222386 [18:13] help, I am getting an error with synaptics: [18:13] E: Error occurred while processing libatspi1.0-0 (NewVersion1) [18:14] Jack_Sparrow: finishing isnt possible... [18:14] I am trying sudo cat /etc/input/mice but nothing is shown why? [18:14] yoyoned: Negative, to install the nvidia drivers, the installation instructions say to get to runlevel 3 so that a certain service is running. But when I do a telinit 3, I am sent to an ubuntu graphical login screen, not a terminal session. [18:14] Does the console disables binary output or whatever? [18:14] matisse you are in fiesty and need to upgrade right [18:14] f4nt yes but I have no such problems I have in Ubuntu in Windows ... is there some settings that need to be changed or? [18:15] usser, what do i open that with? [18:15] hi [18:15] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [18:15] i think its a .bin [18:15] bastones: I'll do some searching, see what I can find. [18:15] thank you [18:15] Any one have solution to my problem? [18:15] linux_guy, just open the terminal type chmod +x unetbootin* and ./unetbootin-linux-310 [18:16] linux_guy, from the directory where u saved it to [18:16] hi [18:16] lkgfjsa I always wonder what people are doing when they encrypt system files [18:16] yoyoned, that way of gdm doesnt work, I think it is beause of bulletproof x or something. [18:16] * esworp gets in line... [18:16] any suggestion for a simple image editor software??? (gimp != simple) [18:16] Jack_Sparrow: breaking stuff would be my guess :) [18:16] bastones: this doesn't occur after hibernation or anything right? Just always happens? [18:17] I told Ubuntu to remove some kde applications and Ubuntu removed a plethora of applications, such as vlc, devede and vim-full... why is that?? [18:17] hi [18:17] yes always happens .. no set time ... I'#ve even tried rebooting but problem still occurs [18:17] is there a place that I can put some text for someone to look at? [18:17] bastones: thx [18:17] i like to chat with any body [18:17] Jack_Sparrow, who do i go to to make a complaint about you?

[18:23] linux_guy, go ahead and install it sudo apt-get install p7zip-full [18:23] bastones: I would assume there's some form of sensitivity to be adjusted but I'm not sure where/what. I always chalked it up to a crappy buffer on the laptop keyboard. [18:23] hmm ... I'm not sure if its a compatibility problem with Ubuntu ...

[18:35] zash: this is on Ubuntu. On gentoo X do not get them. [18:35] usser, the newest one [18:35] But I want to know what is the source on Ubuntu [18:35] keyboard, or ACPI [18:35] dtolj, theres no root user in ubuntu. hence permission denied error, whats wrong with ssh'ing as normal user and then using sudo?

You should use sudo on commands instead to run them as root. If you really need to become root in Ubuntu, do "sudo su -", but you never should need to use this. [18:36] ubuntu is sux [18:36] AR, ok [18:36] i think [18:36] Blatz: df [18:36] So Jack_Sparrow , how do I get them unlocked?

[18:37] my friend said: windows 7 it's the best, ubuntu sux [18:37] holyguyver Not sure of all the issues, and I need to run off for a few [18:37] linux_guy, it may appear stuck, its actually working [18:37] Blatz: nice job:) you're welcome [18:37] mib_e7zkh1, please chat in another channel [18:37] I'm using an old laptop, but when I play videos using a video player they play just fine. However if I play a video from youtube for example it is kind of slow. Is there anything I can do to speed it up? It seems to me that if I can play the video fine in vlc why shouldn't I be able to play it just as good on the flash player in youtube? [18:37] i'm just not patient am i? [18:37] no please [18:37] Alright Jack_Sparrow have a nice day [18:37] now its done [18:37] mib_e7zkh1 Please only ask ubuntu related support questions and avoid starting a flame war [18:38] last call, anyone else issues with new wine update?

I heard only commputers with public IP addr can be sshd into. [18:38] yes [18:38] ok [18:38] So does anyone know how I can unlock the group of partitions in Gparted that are unmounted but still locked? [18:38] <_seantater2> Do the broadcom drivers have any reputation for packet loss? I have excellent signal, but I'm still getting 70% packet loss.. [18:38] "If you had a $70 gift card to dell that expired tomorrow, what would you buy?" [18:38] dtolj, ah i see. hang on [18:38] vish, the port has to be open to allow ssh [18:38] dtolj: Why do you need to do this? It sounds like your implementation is wrong. [18:38] and they must have ssh server installed [18:38] locainex, meaning? [18:38] has anybody tried connecting your phone to PC thru Bluetooth? (Phone->PC) [18:39] locainex: food for africa ;-) [18:39] linux_guy: their mp3 player if it's still available [18:39] momomo: does vbox support usb connections - i remember that i cudnt get it working earlier [18:39] linux_guy: sdhc card....highest capacity....highest rating that 60 bux would get me :) [18:39] sandGorgon: only if you get vbox directly from them.. [18:39] vish, meaning you cant get on their computer without their permission. [18:39] i helped my fiances mom with her computer, and she's givin me a gift card, but it expires tomorrow [18:39] Thrae: usser no it not wrong, all i want is root access over ssh [18:39] sandGorgon: upstream closed source does, open not yet afaik [18:39] sandGorgon, yes, it will, but you have to make some permissions related changes *if my memory serves me right* [18:39] sandGorgon, there's a howto on getting in working right in the ubuntu wiki [18:39] locainex, I'll remember the df command for future too, thanks [18:39] How to solve this problem?My ubuntu can play sound when I entered into system. But when I play sound files,such as wav or mp3, it played but no sound. [18:39] I dont understand how cat /dev/input/mice works fine if I am on the console, but fails if I am in a xterm in X [18:39] np Blatz [18:39] It is not a locked partition it is a locked extended partition full of several partitions all unmounted. [18:40] eg, nothing appears [18:40] dtolj, right so first things firs you have to tell sshd to allow root access, edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config [18:40] How is that even possible [18:40] dtolj: I mean, *why* do you need it. Unless you're debugging or developing something, you shouldn't be logged in as root, hence I asked... [18:40] dtolj, find a line that say allowRoot and set it to yes [18:40] has anybody tried connecting your phone and PC via bluetooth? Did you get it working? [18:40] sandGorgon, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [18:40] rdw200169: just a question, the open source version still hasn't the usb code inside?

[18:41] momomo, VirtualPC, the hack of virtualBox windows bought does not, but the *normal* virtual box definitely does [18:41] dtolj, although i must once again say its not recommended, [18:41] frokensen, dual boot or in a vm? [18:41] frokensen: pop-in an ubuntu CD [18:41] momomo, i.e. the free version ;) [18:41] rdw200169: momomo but not the ose version in the repos [18:42] has anybody tried connecting your phone and PC via bluetooth? Did you get it working? [18:42] Scunizi, really? i didn't know that!

[18:42] SingAlong, yea works fine [18:42] frokensen: I would not dual boot with a time-limited OS [18:42] rdw200169: yep.. that's the drawback of the ose version .. it's good for everything except usb.. [18:42] I am trying to run a .exe file in WINE but when I do I get an error stating: "Component 'flash9e.ocx' or one of its dependencies is not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid". How can I fix this?

[18:42] frokensen, what image do you speak of? [18:42] How to solve this problem?My ubuntu can play sound when I entered into system. But when I play sound files,such as wav or mp3, it played but no sound. [18:43] the last release desktop [18:43] I am also having sound configuration problems like martin__.

[18:52] SingAlong: great, I'll show you an example entry (for my nokia) [18:52] I just installed ubuntu 8.10 [18:52] I had a black screen but it was fixed by adding "noapic acpi=off irqpoll" at the end of the boot line before the installation. [18:52] When i plug in any usb, such as, ipod, camera, or flash drive, the icon of it does not appear on my desktop, the device is not powered, and when i type in "lsusb" in the terminal there is no output. [18:52] Can someone please help? [18:52] martin__: it's compromise. if you dont update often, you lose cutting edge features, if you do, you lose stability [18:52] SingAlong: if you use that as a template and replace it with your mac address you should be fine [18:52] gp101: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:52] holyguyver: I have no such baggage :) ubuntu is easy to install, and you should have backed up prior to attempting to resize any partition [18:52] locainex, server is up, pings just fine [18:52] how do you remove old kernels from your /boot partition?? [18:52] hey guys, is irc.ubuntu.com working? i have to connect via the freenode server atm [18:52] Jeruvy I did indeed backup [18:52] dtolj, you also should be able to ssh as root ssh root@host [18:52] ikonia: so do you mean I'll have to have an entry in the hcid.conf file? I have a Nokia N70 [18:52] WIGGMPk: uninstall the old kernel packages using the package manager [18:53] is there anything like Ccleaner for Ubuntu? [18:53] usser: when i try to update i get the error, failed to fetch [18:53] holyguyver: try the ubuntu recovery disk some handy tools that may work for you.

(ubuntu 8.10) [18:53] lsusb produces no output [18:53] SingAlong: FYI: when you connect to a nokia it should ask you for a key on the phone that you make up - you should then enter that on the PC to match [18:53] mglisch thats it? there's not command that just eliminates every kernel except the one specified? [18:53] SingAlong: there is no default - you have to set the key to pair [18:53] gp101: are there relevant erros in dmesg? [18:53] ikonia: yeah but it doesnt ask me for any key [18:54] SingAlong: ahhh I see, so the phone doesn't say "enter key" [18:54] ikonia: It asks me for a key only when I try to send some data.

[18:55] holyguyver: no problem. [18:55] ikonia: using sudo vi? [18:55] bonez46, yeah we can see you typing [18:55] momomo, it works under windows [18:55] SingAlong: yeah, thats fine [18:55] does anyone here know how to fix this? [18:55] ikonia: nope! I dont know the syntax etc [18:56] SingAlong: ok, no problem, let me see if I can find an example (not got one on this laptop - thought I did) [18:56] ikonia: is there a particular syntax to be followed? [18:56] Hi, under Ubuntu How to test if my microphone works or not? [18:56] ah, then I guess no one has any ideas on how to get more resolution choices from a system running intel 82815 video, eh?

I want to delete one of the partitions inside of my extended partition which gparted will let me do, & then I want to shrink my extended partition which gparted will not let me do having the locked sign next to the extended partition. How can I shrink my extended partition? [18:57] frokensen: oh! [18:57] gp101: as i understand you you checked the dmesg output after plugging in the usb device. dmesg might have logged an error right during power up of the computer already [18:57] ikonia: oh! [18:57] frokensen, stay on topic here [18:57] usser: No it still dosnt work. I think i have messed my root account, when i ssh now and enter my correct psw it gives me your account has expired!

I'm also quiet new to Ubuntu/Linux. Searching the net didn't really help [19:00] ikonia: and should I use those auth and encrypt stuff? [19:00] frokensen: you can use a touchscreen or tablet with linux [19:00] So any other takers? [19:00] SingAlong: try both - first without - then with IF it works without [19:00] SingAlong: auth enabled should prompt for a pass key [19:00] dtolj, hm when u login as regular user its expired or when u do su? [19:00] SingAlong: (which should hopefully solve the poblem you're having) [19:00] kernel 2.6.27-11 is not turning my ethernet card off, is this a new feature of some sort? [19:00] ikonia: oh yeah [19:01] SingAlong: try without first just to see if it pairs [19:01] TuxSympathiser: all depends on the config [19:01] ikonia: that passkey popping is what I think should solve the problem [19:01] usser: i log in as non-root and then sudo su, enter psw and it gives me Your account has expired; contact sys admin. (Ignored) [19:01] SingAlong: gopefully [19:01] hopefully [19:01] dtolj: you don't sudo su [19:01] ikonia: Can I use Kate editor to add this and restart bluetooth? [19:01] dtolj, try sudo passwd root again [19:01] adaptr, well I upgraded and -11 doesn't turn the ethernet off [19:01] dtolj: thats not the ubuntu security model [19:01] sh1m0n: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-905367.html check last two posts here [19:01] TuxSympathiser: why should it ?

How can I shrink my extended partition? [19:02] Hey is there a channel for gparted? [19:02] * revourbis Hello.

[19:04] holyguyver: no [19:04] dtolj, usser - it's not recommended you set the root password [19:04] TuxSympathiser: err..whut ? [19:04] adaptr previous kernels do and windows xp does so what has changed in the latest kernel? [19:04] unop, i know, i told him [19:04] Bonsoir la foule [19:04] holyguyver: if its a FAT partition you could try FIPS...otherwise the ONLY tool I'm aware that COULD MAYBE do it is partition magic. [19:04] holyguyver: partition magic can move the partitions within, yes [19:04] gp101: hmm, lines 343. "ohci" no guarantees but my linux book referring to kernel 2.4 mentions that it directly relates to usb [19:04] unop: why not [19:05] usser, so why use passwd -u ?? [19:05] revourbis: http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/using-regedit [19:05] momomo: what do you think I should do? [19:05] miha: I my menu.lst looks exactly like that.

[19:06] dtolj: you can do you whatever you want, we just don't recommend it. [19:06] dtolj, you can set one, but there generally is no need for one [19:06] adaptr, I do not want to move the partitions within, I want to shrink the extended partition. [19:06] holyguyver: you can't [19:06] hello [19:06] holyguyver: that has been told to you 3 - 4 times now [19:06] sh1m0n: i dont even have SATA, or do i?

In snypatic package manager, it shows me having "linux-headers-generic" at version 2.6.27.11.14 but I also show linux-header-2.6.27-11 which is version 2.6.27.11.14.... so whats the difference between the two besides the version.. and what can I remove? [19:07] ikonia, I am not talking to you, & I was not asking that< I was simply telling him what I wanted to do as he seemed to have been not sure of what I was asking. [19:07] adaptr, Wake On Lan [19:07] holyguyver: I'm just making it %100 clear - you can't [19:07] unop: do you mean you never use root? or are you logging is as sudoer [19:07] miha: but thx anyway. u wouldn't by any chance know the terminal command to show the partitions ...? [19:07] momomo: ok I'll try to add pci=biosirq [19:07] ikonia: still not working.

[19:08] TuxSympathiser: I know what WOL is, but it has nothing to do with whether your NIC is on or off [19:08] Backup question please: I do 'tar /' archive. I is slow. I would like to clone root partition instead. Please tell me some simple solution and how to do it (do I have to use single user mode, etc) [19:08] gp101: yes, good luck [19:08] ikonia & I uinderstands I was simply letting him know what I was trying to acomplish as he seemed to have thought I wanted to move the ones inside of it around, which I do not. [19:08] dtolj, i don't ever log on as root .. but i become the superuser using sudo .. if that's what you mean [19:08] sh1m0n: 'fdisk /dev/sda' .. 'p' for 'print' [19:08] mmm4m5m: use a good backup solution to make an image of your root partition [19:08] unop: ok [19:08] ok, thx [19:09] adaptr: what imaging tools do you recommend? dd? Or others? [19:09] adaptr, hmm, for some reason -11 leaves it on which is a slight drain on battery power [19:09] Any startrek fans here?... ##startrek [19:09] TuxSympathiser: what does this have to do with WOL ? [19:09] SingAlong: drop encyption [19:09] Xunie: dont spam [19:09] adaptr: good solution like? about dd - again not sure. I want to clone partition without empty space in partition.

[19:10] SingAlong: drop the encyption line [19:10] ikonia, tritium, Sorry.. :/ [19:10] sh1m0n: in menu.lst I have only (hd0,#). I boot from usb, sometimes it is /dev/sda, sometimes it is /dev/sdb.

[19:10] YOU FUCKIN MOTHER FUCKER [19:10] TuxSympathiser: do you understand what WOL does ? [19:11] :)) [19:11] dtolj, did it work?

[19:11] sh1m0n: it's a universal name for disks [19:11] adaptr, yes it allows you to wake your computer up when its sleeping [19:12] sh1m0n: I am not expert!!! someone told me - it works because boot hdd is always index 0. Maybe question is: where your grub is installed [19:12] SingAlong: try restarting /etc/init.d/bluetooth [19:12] TuxSympathiser: when it is *OFF* [19:12] unop: usser But i need to log in as root for sshfs, and somehow my root account on the host expired which prevents me from doing that [19:12] TuxSympathiser: hint: there is not much kernel activity when the system is off [19:12] I have a PCE 1200VA UPS, and it has a Serial RS-232 port on it (I got a serial to USB converter) anyway, I would like a software that allows me to track information about the UPS, does anyone know any such software?

[19:12] mmm4m5: my grub should be installed on the same disk, but on another partition (i'm not so sure about that) :-S [19:13] dtolj, that should reset the expires field [19:13] adaptr, nope which is why I don't understand why the new kernel doesn't shut the ethernet adapter off [19:13] TuxSympathiser: understanding fail [19:13] ikonia: I've been restarting bluetooth everytime I edit the file [19:13] momomo: it worked how can I make that permanent?

[19:15] dtolj, thats just recommendations though :) [19:15] holyguyver: you dont [19:15] SingAlong: worth a try ?

I'll have to do this programmatically. or else I would have used Kbluetooth which worked for transfering files to my phone [19:16] cyrus__: what happens if you do "sudo mount $mountpoint" after boot ? [19:16] cyrus__, fstab line: server:/directory /mountpoint nfs default 0 0 [19:16] TuxSympathiser: if you think this has something to do with WOL then disable WOL before it shuts down [19:17] .ikonia, nightrid3r, & usser , please do PM me with presice instructions or else perhaps an ubottu link to where I can read presice instructions on how to do thaty [19:17] or consecvenses however i spell that [19:17] gp101: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#Setting%20kernel%20parameters [19:17] holyguyver: please pay attention while people help you here in channel, and don't ask for private help [19:17] ikonia - it mou nts [19:17] adaptr can you give me privet help? [19:17] momomo: thanks a lot [19:17] cyrus__: interesting [19:18] adaptr, WOL is disabled, so why would the new kernel not turn the ethernet adapter off? [19:18] gp101: glad you came here [19:18] holyguyver, have you already created a new partition for your /home ? [19:18] TuxSympathiser: how do you know it is disabled ? [19:18] Hello [19:18] usser yes [19:18] TuxSympathiser: as far as I know, WOL is a BIOS setting [19:19] adaptr, I disabled it in the bios [19:19] holyguyver, do you know the name of it? [19:19] TuxSympathiser: then it's disabled [19:19] I can easily know that yes [19:19] holyguyver, right so run sudo blkid [19:19] adaptr, so why does -11 leave the ethernet adapter active? [19:19] holyguyver, find your partition name and copy uuid [19:19] usser what does that have to do with the fstab? [19:19] TuxSympathiser: how do you know it is active ? [19:20] adaptr, the link light is on [19:20] TuxSympathiser: and ? [19:20] holyguyver, you'll have to modify your /home entry in fstab and its better to use uuid instead of the partition name because partition names change and uuids stay constant [19:20] adaptr, it shouldn't be [19:20] TuxSympathiser: ask a smarter question next time [19:20] holyguyver, so that u wouldnt end up with a broken system next you add a harddrive [19:20] what does ubuntu normally use to autogenerate xorg.conf? [19:21] bonez46, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [19:21] so [19:21] usser as I asked before do you have a link to a ubuntu wiki page that says this? [19:21] i'm having problems with fstab [19:21] has anyone experience with an RTL8211CL network card under intrepid [19:21] anyone willing to help? [19:21] holyguyver, oh, its all over the place hang on [19:21] knuck: just speak your problem [19:21] usser: I run that it and it does nothing, no changes to my xorg.conf .. even with the '-phigh' flagg included [19:21] holyguyver, here http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html [19:22] for some reason i have on fstab entry that creates 3 partitions [19:22] bonez46: probably you want to rename your original xorg.conf first [19:22] bonez46, yea as of hardy information about video card/monitor modes is no longer stored in xorg.conf its only stuff like keyboard mouse etc. [19:22] and those partitions are all owned by root so i can't write to them [19:22] jpin #Ubuntu-ar [19:22] bonez46, use xrandr to play around with resolutions and such [19:23] join #Ubuntu-ar [19:23] Hi! Is it possible to use bluetooth headphomes in ubuntu? [19:23] usser, you meantioned some sort of uuid, yet that page does not have the words uuid on it. [19:24] holyguyver, this guide is a bit old, uuids only made inroads in the recent years [19:24] holyguyver, essentially instead of /dev/name you use a unique indentifier uuid thats the only difference [19:25] why can't i see the copy progress bar in xfce?

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [19:28] revourbis: check the bottom part of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Dreamweaver [19:28] guys.. Could you please tell me how to set up bluetooth headphones on ubuntu? === keres_ is now known as keres [19:28] knuck: yes. by default they will be owned by root. probably you want to create a directory inside the partitions and with proper premission set, such that you can write into it [19:29] cant i make the whole partition be mounted with 777? [19:29] revourbis: Quanta Bluefish Ginf Screem Nvu Mozilla Composer [19:29] natrixnatrix89: there is no secret, follow the device instructions and go. [19:30] revourbis: have a look at amaya [19:30] I have that too. [19:30] Jeruvy: but how do I make the sounds on pc sound on headphones? [19:31] Well I have Quanta Bluefish but I don't seem to find the "design" button or switch or whatever... [19:31] I connected them. but what next? [19:31] natrixnatrix89: that depends on what the protocals the bluetooth supports. [19:31] knuck: the only way i know how to do it is: for each line of your fstab file, in the options field(the 4th field), type in "noauto, rw, user". but then you need to mount those partitions manually [19:32] uh [19:32] i'm new to linux but [19:32] So can you recommend me anything? [19:32] how can i open .bundle files? [19:32] natrixnatrix89: hmm, lets rephrase that..it depends on the protocals that the bluetooth devices support. [19:32] Question: I am trying to install a program that uses X-Windows and when I type the command 'make X-Configure name=linux' and then 'make' I get an error on make saying that I don't have some files such as: X11/Xlib.h... how do I fix this, what packages do I need? [19:32] knuck: for your reference: TuxSympathiser [19:32] you're telling me every linux user has no access to write to their partitions? [19:32] knuck: for your reference: http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/fstab.htm [19:32] revourbis: If you use Quanta Plus check out this link --> http://docs.kde.org/kde3/en/kdewebdev/quanta/index.html [19:33] norty, sudo apt-get install xorg-dev [19:33] Jeruvy: Ok then. something else - Is it possible to connect a bluetooth keyboard? [19:33] natrixnatrix89: usually one device goes into 'discovery' mode, the other then searches, finds it, enters a password, and your connected. What they actually do once connected is dependant on the protocals it supports. [19:33] how can i open .bundle files? [19:33] AR, hmm I am a reference or just you copied my name??? [19:33] knuck: yes, for the root of each partitions, normally you won't want to give write premission to normal users. [19:33] how can i give permission to update my avg software [19:34] security isn't a concern here seeing as only 2 people use this computer [19:34] natrixnatrix89: in your keyboard manual it should state what it supports. Make sure the computers BT radio supports it also (typically do), then if ther are problems let us know what you encounter [19:34] csana: hmm, .bundle seems to be for OS X. you really need to open it? [19:34] but ok [19:35] whats the command to mount my sftp locally: sftp://baz@172.16.113.134/var/www/roundcube [19:35] really? i downloaded the vmware installer for linux!? [19:35] Hi!

[19:37] Jeruvy: so it means Once the headphones are connected, they should work and play all the sounds my ubuntu plays? [19:37] baz, oh you need sshfs, once u have it sshfs baz@172.16.113.134:/var/www/roundcube /localdirectory [19:37] hmm [19:37] Fertech: try this system>administrator>users and groups [19:37] i cant have the main partition as noauto [19:38] this is a problem [19:38] !baz [19:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about baz [19:38] baz:wha?

[19:41] knuck, chmod -R [19:41] ziggles: is your system directly connected to the internet ? [19:41] that way i could just 777 the whole partition [19:41] cool [19:41] hola [19:41] adaptr: yep [19:41] adaptr: I am sure - or every live CD. Question is: is it safe to do it in single user mode? [19:41] no its a terminal [19:42] knuck, chmodding everything to 777 is not wise [19:42] Fertech: no gui? [19:42] mmm4m5m: safe to do *what* ? to back up your system partition, it does not take a big brain to figure out that you cannot be running from that partitions while you're doing that [19:42] but il try the manage groups [19:42] can you use ekiga to call a aol user?

[19:45] (water tight) [19:45] knuck: actually windows uses ACL's to handle permissions...but this is the wrong channel. [19:46] ziggles: if you are connected directly to the net( no router) you need a firewall [19:46] ziggles: the safest way for exposed systems is to cloak all ports you don't use [19:46] knuck, that's not true for all users - it may be for the administrator account (but that really is a different case) [19:46] hellow mother fukera [19:46] well [19:46] whatev: just switch ty tty1/2/...

[20:06] in ubuntu [20:06] and my laptop is prehistoric [20:06] xD [20:06] i've tried other keyboards too [20:06] it is using 40 MB in mine :( [20:06] and i can't get it working [20:06] divyesh what are people using as window decorates [20:06] md22: the versioning is Y.MO [20:07] <_VIM_> racecar56: mines an abacus :) [20:07] lol [20:07] is anyone playing lfs in ubiuntu successfully? [20:07] i remember when beryl was big... i just got wubi to install with windows 7 so i am relearning ubuntu [20:07] ack [20:07] The_Rebel: i have to press Alt+Fn+(SysRq|Del)+other key [20:07] i think windows 7 will suck [20:07] Is it recommended that i partition my harddrive on my laptop with the built in vista function over the install disk? [20:07] !ot > racecar56 [20:07] racecar56, please see my private message [20:07] racecar56 you obviously dont think well [20:07] tritium: ok. tanks [20:07] it sucks i have tht beta version [20:07] windows 7 = vista [20:07] no [20:07] I have this domain, 'www.webcouture.ma', I can enable it using a2ensite www.webcouture.ma and disable it, so it's well configured, but...I can only access it using the IP. Please, can anyone explain me step by step what must I do in order to access the domain name instead of the IP? I'm quite a newby [20:07] sambagirl you obviously dont know what hte hell you are talking about [20:08] zash, your using Intrepid? and what keyboard layout? [20:08] i agree with sambagirl [20:08] windows 7 ain't gonna be better [20:08] if at all [20:08] The_Rebel: intrepid, yes. swedish keyboard [20:08] obviously you are dumb racecar56 [20:08] numus i do know further more i work at ibm and deal with lenovo daily and i know i know more then you do about vista or windows 7. [20:08] ... [20:08] racecar56: sambagirl: this is not a windows bashing channel [20:08] 11 [20:08] Jeruvy: i'm completely sure [20:08] Guest95678: when you assign a domain name to an IP you need to wait 1/2 days for the DNS servers all over the world to refresh their data [20:08] wow sambagirl [20:08] I need some UPS software tool for PCE. [20:09] tnis isnt bashing i just said windwos 7 = vista [20:09] ziggles, when I mount the sshfs, everything seems to work and the mount appears in nautilus - however when I tryu to access it, it says "permission denied" - i made the local folder in my home directory... what do u think? [20:09] if that is bashing so be it [20:09] ibm huh.. you work for some arbitrary company and that makes you an expert [20:09] it's odd for my zash, jaunty works for me, yet the Intrepid LiveCD doesn't work. [20:09] yeah [20:09] me* [20:09] every OS has it place [20:09] is there an easy way to turn a livecd into a pxe install? [20:09] arbitrary? ibm? laugh. [20:09] no windows 7 is not vista.. anymore then windows xp is windows 95 [20:09] sambagirl: feel free to go claim it at #ubuntu-offtopic though. [20:09] xD [20:09] is anyone playing lfs in ubiuntu successfully? [20:09] why can't we play multiple audio files in linux [20:09] idk [20:09] 1 driver for 1 audio [20:09] O_o [20:10] i asked some specific questions and none have been answered. [20:10] Tharko1978: it doesnt even work for me in winxp, sorry [20:10] Jeruvy: can it be compiz related? [20:10] The_Rebel: this can come from better hardware support from the latest kernel, the one used by jaunty [20:10] but in windos we can play many files [20:10] sambagirl: I answered you [20:10] i didnt see it tritum [20:10] The_Rebel: SysRq might be disabled on the live-cd [20:10] divyesh: you want something like pulseaudio, or alsa dmix [20:10] i gtg bye [20:10] you play it tritium? [20:10] i'll try an install [20:10] sambagirl: sambagirl: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3755http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3755 [20:10] btw tomorrow is February [20:10] cya [20:11] thanks sidi [20:11] fresh install that is, my current setup is highly customized..

I answered your question about ubuntu being based on debian. [20:11] momomo: OK... Thanks for the help anyway [20:11] I am running into a problem when trying to uninstall some old kernel images. Can anyone help me with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/112227/ [20:11] HI... I'm still having problems with Ubuntu ... sometimes it doesn't register the keys I type such as 'hllo'...

[20:12] sambagirl: did you try through wine or with the official installer for linux ? it works better than under windows here [20:12] how can i install gtk from the terminal?

My /var/log file takes up 16 GB for no reason? Is that supposed to happen? [20:13] i tried the linux installer. [20:13] i will try through windows. [20:13] _VIM_: is this addressed to me ? :/ [20:13] umm wine i mean [20:13] I should stop being lazy and reboot soon. Security update has been configured for like 1-2 days now, still not rebooted.

Performance will be much better with the linux installer. idSoftware has a pretty big FAQ for linux somewhere on their site, and we have 2/3 forum posts with a lot of advice, you should have a look there [20:14] numus the keys DO work but sometimes they dont when I type them in Ubuntu...I dont have this problem in Windows at all... [20:14] ok thanks sidi [20:14] momomo: there are a couple files that take up ~4 GB each, with names like messages.0. I've tried opening them but they just seem to be blank text files [20:14] bastones how much memory do you have in your laptop? [20:14] 1GB [20:15] I should stop being lazy and reboot soon. Security update has been configured for like 1-2 days now, still not rebooted. [20:15] bastones ubuntu xubuntu or kubuntu [20:15] for kernel 2.6.27-11 [20:15] baz_: what happens when you try without sudo (the sshfs command) [20:15] anyone did that? [20:15] i am using wubi so i have some what of a degredation for things, is that necessisarily true? [20:15] ziggles, but then I receive the error: "Could not display "/home/baz/RoundCube" "Access was Denied" [20:15] this isnt a raw ubuntu install perse [20:15] Kleemajo: this was a fresh install, right? [20:16] sambagirl: this link is a bit outdated but very complete : http://community.enemyterritory.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14144 [20:16] i just bought a wireless keyboard & mouse to so i could install ubuntu on ps3. kboot doesn't recognise the keyboard correctly. if i repeatedly try to associate the keyboard & receiver, it gets picked up but then kboot disables the usb receiver. any ideas if i can add drivers to kboot or should i just keep buyin wireless keyboards until one works :) [20:16] DigitalKiwi, hmm, good point! I will try that [20:16] could anyone help me with an apache issue, the apache channel is full of assholes and banned me [20:16] sambagirl wubi only installs a ext3 ghost partition ontop of an ntfs system.. [20:16] ya [20:16] hello [20:16] i too did that [20:16] yes, fresh install from the live cd.

[20:17] * DigitalKiwi doesn't need sudo for sshfs, just make sure that you've set the owner and permissions on the place you mount it to *before* trying to mount first time [20:17] Jack_Sparrow: should I update to kernel 2.6.27-11?

[20:17] When upgrading between versions (in this case from 8.04 to 8.10), is there an easy way to not install certain large packages (for example evolution; I don't use it, and I'm just going to remove it as soon as it's installed again), to save some download time? [20:17] sambagirl while ubuntu is loaded up.. it thinks it is on its own ext3 partition.. it is like having a disk iso.. when you mount the iso with daemon tools it thinks it mounts the disk into a drive while it really is only stored in a single structure file [20:17] hello what goes on here [20:18] !pastebin > Kleemajo [20:18] Kleemajo, please see my private message [20:18] ahh i see numus [20:18] tomatr I am happy with mine where it is, you still should not have a problem with yours [20:18] sambagirl [20:18] sambagirl: check here too, some stuff might help you after install : http://community.enemyterritory.com/forums/showthread.php?p=399431#post399431 [20:18] it is just like another prog for windows [20:18] sambagirl the install for ubuntu over wubi is teh same as ubuntu on its own partition... the only difference is.. one lives in a "virtual" disk.. the other on a physical partition.. but the install, drivers, and files are all identical.. that is why you actually download a ubuntu install iso with wubi instead of a seperate os [20:19] Jack_Sparrow: you're using that kernel? [20:19] ahh [20:19] samabgirl all wubi does is the same thing daemon tools does... mounts the iso [20:19] but because of this virtal dist performace is slowed down :P [20:19] Jack_Sparrow: you're using 2.6.27-11 ? [20:19] *virtual [20:19] sambagirl but wubi is a little more advanced because it fakes a whole file structure [20:19] tomatr -7 on this box [20:19] ldconfig appears to be very important. [20:19] ANYONE KNOW ANY APACHE / VIRTUAL HOSTING? [20:19] numus I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 [20:19] ahh i see numus [20:19] divyesh no.. not in any way [20:19] so im downloading ubuntu,will it affect me if im downloading it on a mac? [20:19] !caps > bdelin88 [20:19] bdelin88, please see my private message [20:20] how do I make the hostname resolve to the local IP of the server on my machine?

[20:20] Jack_Sparrow: jack how do i get unbanned from an IRC channel [20:20] booting is very slow [20:20] bastones my only guess would be that other programs are using up memory and you are in essence "lagging" while tryign to type [20:20] i'd also like to know this, Guest93378 [20:20] bastones search google for any known issues with your model and ubuntu [20:20] Hey, I've been thinking about setting up a linux server for both the experience and some minor uses. It will deal with mainly windows but also linux desktops. I was wondering if there was a way to see what the user was logged in as on the current desktop and authenticate from that. [20:20] bdelin88 Not by asking in here.. PM me and we can talk [20:21] divyesh is your ntfs system fragmented? [20:21] how do I make the hostname resolve to the local IP of the server on my machine? [20:21] yeah [20:21] bdelin88: i believe you got banned because you refused to read the docu and try by yourself in the first place [20:21] divyesh that would cause very slow ubuntu boot times of wubi [20:21] numus i think some problem with y procesor [20:21] i'd also like to know this, Guest93378 [20:21] hi, i'm having some troubles with compiz, when i try to play a video in fullscreen in youtoube it won't let me, i know this beacause when in turn off the visual effects i can watch the vids in full screen, can anybody tell me what visual effect is causing this? [20:21] since we're repeating ourselfs [20:21] it is core quad [20:21] ok this is WAYYYY TOO geeky for me, BAI BAI [20:21] lol @ dede [20:21] divyesh probably not... try doing a defrag on the ntfs file system.. [20:21] k sure [20:22] i like wyldryde better [20:22] BAI BAI [20:22] Shinjin: the who command shows who is currently logged in and where [20:22] dede LOL.... i just got back into ubuntu after i got my new 7.2k rpm 320 gig laptop harddrive.. [20:22] but is ubuntu 8.10 suited for multi threading numus ?? [20:22] too slow numus [20:23] is there an #ubuntu-singles channel? [20:23] Here's the pastebin: [20:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/112233/ [20:23] has the process changed for setting up authentication with libam-blue for intrepid or do I still just edit the config file and the pam config files? [20:23] raxial: So it would be possible to put that in a script and authenticate based on that then? Like if who == _____ [20:23] There are a few huge files for no reason... [20:23] divyesh idk.. considering i am running ubuntu 8.10 over wubi on an ntfs system running windows 7 on a coore 2 duo... and my friends i7 runs ubuntu with no problem.. i would say it has no problem handling it [20:23] hmmm [20:23] oh [20:23] divyesh you have a core 2 quad? [20:24] yeah [20:24] oh and is there a wiki for setting up fingerprint authentication for login? [20:24] divyesh that is not a multithreaded processor [20:24] shinjin: it's a console command, so yes, it can be used in a script.....I've no idea about authentication controls though [20:24] it is [20:24] divyesh no.. the quad's use multiple cores... [20:24] i think it is unable to utilize processor efficiently [20:24] Okay, I'll do some more research using that. Thanks so much for the help. [20:24] divyesh the only multithreaded process by intel right now is the i7 [20:24] :S [20:25] ok [20:25] Kleemajo: i am thinking about a tool which creates an extract of a text file listing lines by frequencies, but i have no idea [20:25] divyesh i7 is a quad core processor with multithreaded (which appears at 8 cores) [20:25] baz:it works thanks [20:25] wow [20:25] which company manufactures it ?? [20:25] well, would it be safe to delete those files? [20:25] divyesh the only other multithreaded processor out there right now is the phanom II... [20:25] hi how you guys doing [20:25] ultraspaec t2 has 8 cores [20:25] divyesh the i7? it is intel.. the brand new line [20:26] Kleemajo: what does "wc -l /var/log/kern.log.0" f.e. tell you? [20:26] oh [20:26] divyesh intel i7 920, 940 and 960.. top of the line.. [20:26] intel [20:26] ok :) [20:26] but power consumption ?? numus ? [20:26] i think they get heatd very soon [20:26] They are only logs after all, aren't they? [20:26] divyesh core 2 quads are garbage.. i7 is lower power consumption then quad extremems.. built on 45nm technology [20:26] Kleemajo: yes, they are log files, but the sheer size is strange indeed [20:27] any IT/GEEKs From Tampa, Florida.. im looking to start an it team and im looking for locals.. === Suntzzu1` is now known as BigMIke [20:27] do you guys know where i can find the user manual for 761GX-M754 v3.0C? found it for v1.0, but not v3.0c === BigMIke is now known as BigMike [20:27] i read some where that intel is using 30 nm [20:27] divyesh and the i7 is actually cheaper to buy then a quad... and the 920 beats the overclocked q9660 (i think that is the model of the high end extreme) out of the water... [20:27] I have ubuntu intrepid, and cant connect to wpa protected wireless network. it trys to connect and then spits back a differnt password than the one i entered. any suggestions? i have looked around and it appears that this is a problem in intrepid, are there any bug fixes? [20:27] ohk but it is still not released in India numus [20:28] rusbert: the ubuntu wiki has a list of all local channels (quite likely florida is included) [20:28] nope.. still 45nm [20:28] divyesh this is why i say. when people try to tell me windows 7 = vista they are dumb.. i do know a lot about computers.. even though i work for the bureau of radiation control in florida [20:29] ubuntu ftw [20:29] zash.. i just tried a fresh install [20:29] yeah [20:29] Kleemajo: what does "wc -l /var/log/kern.log.0" f.e. tell you. it counts the lines and would tell us if the file really is empty. if it were, you might have to dig a bit deeper [20:29] not sure what else i can test to pin point the issue [20:29] but hey i think microsoft does the same numus [20:29] it simply changes the stupid gui [20:29] Hi, I got a ubuntu disk today and I try to install it and this happens: http://i44.tinypic.com/2j2gaci.jpg [20:30] divyesh no.. windows 7 is highly more stable and less memory intensive as vista [20:30] hey sorry, I tried it and thought I was doing it wrong, but that command actually does nothing [20:30] divyesh it is the same as windows 95, 98, me, and xp.. all built on the same code.. but each recoded to be more efficent [20:30] wow [20:30] divyesh and Nt, 2000... both built on off the nt system [20:31] except it screws up my terminal and gets rid of the xxxx$ before the commands [20:31] Mrdudecool lol [20:31] divyesh, what? [20:31] divyesh vista and 2007 where the first windows since 95 to be built on a new code.. so ya the first had bugs (95 was buggy as hell) but as happened with 98, windows 7 is the new standard [20:31] that picture [20:31] what about it? [20:31] u took it with camera ?? [20:32] yeah because i had to shut down the laptop as it wouldnt go any further [20:32] how do I set the domain name in ubuntu [20:32] o thanks numus i never knew these things [20:32] divyesh i am beta tesitng windows 7 right now.. the os in general is amazing, but windows media player 12 SUCKS... [20:32] numus: vista built on new code ? are you joking ? [20:32] Kleemajo: what are the fist lines of "strings /var/log/kern.log.0"? [20:32] Mrdudecool do a disk chesk before installing [20:32] adaptr why dont you go to the google [20:32] a disk check? [20:33] numus i too have this windows 7 [20:33] numus: the google doesn't like me [20:33] i am not experimenting on that [20:33] i am going to setup a top secret bbs. citadel should work yes? [20:33] sambagirl: step one would be not telling us you're going to do that [20:33] Medudecool it checks wether all files are there on th disk or not [20:34] ah ok, well i did get it sent in the mail [20:34] :D [20:34] so i think it should [20:34] does anyone know what hte latest in window decorate for ubuntu is... i am kinda out of touch.. i still remember beryl being the rage [20:34] hey all [20:34] numus.. [20:34] hi everyone, i'm trying to get telugu fonts to work (and the login screen does work) - but when i login, X freezes. english is fine though :-/ [20:34] compiz++ maybe [20:34] the_rebel yes [20:34] anyone have any ideas as to what it could be? [20:34] the_rebel not compiz_fusion anymore? [20:35] it is [20:35] but this is a different spin.. [20:35] you asked for the latest.. [20:35] and their not window decorators [20:35] their window managers [20:35] Emerald is a window decorator [20:35] same thing to me :) [20:35] The_Rebel: s/their/they're [20:35] momomo: my terminal just spewed out thousands of lines of text and froze on me... [20:36] thanks for the spelling tip tritium. [20:36] Kleemajo: what do you tell it to do [20:36] tritium.. you are to heavy [20:36] why dont you split :) [20:36] I can try to do a screen cap of it, but selecting text makes it just erase the text from the terminal... [20:36] numus: he's right. why don't you ? [20:36] numus: :-D [20:36] adaptr do you even under it? [20:37] err understand [20:37] Kleemajo: what did you type to make it do that [20:37] Kleemajo: so it means the file is not empty or contains bogus data. for the moment i suggest deleting the log files if you need harddrive space. in case the problem occurs you could recome here any time [20:37] I typed the line that momomo gave me into the terminal: "strings /var/log/kern.log.0" [20:37] numus: just stay on topic, please [20:37] no sense of humour === dmsuperm1n is now known as dmsuperman [20:38] ok, well, they are taking up my entire hard drive so I definitely need to get rid of them [20:38] p.s. if anyone was wondering.. if you are running windows 7.. and youo applied orbitz patch to remove the watermark.. you wont be able to install wubi or use any compatibility modes.. just fyi === Xoebus is now known as Xoebus|TF2 [20:38] I guess I'll delete them and hope for the best [20:38] thanks for the help [20:39] alright i am out.. thanks for the help === Stag is now known as GentooFTW [20:40] uh... one last thing. I'm getting "permission denied" when I try to delete the files. How can I get around that? [20:41] Kleemajo: sudo [20:41] ppl, can I get some apache help here? === Defcon1 is now known as defcon1 === diego is now known as Guest25589 [20:41] Kleemajo: you need to be root to delete these files. open a terminal, move to this directory (using cd) and then type "sudo rm filename" [20:42] so if I accidentally installed the server kernal how would i go about removing it? [20:42] <|chiz|> I'm trying to get a MCE keyboard to work has anyone done it before? [20:42] hello [20:43] Anyone having problems with the Xubuntu install? === pextris2 is now known as pextyris === pextyris is now known as pextris [20:43] Hi, I'm wondering how Ubuntu handles fglrx kernel modules... Are they precompiled, or do they compile on each user's machine via dkms? [20:44] how do check if a port is open or closed? [20:44] can anyone help a noob?) knetworkmanager doesn't allow me to set static ip. it just ignores my attempts [20:44] Hello, DeltaZulu is having a problem after a fresh 8.10 install. When he boots, the pc hangs in console, displaying "ACK", and he cant go to xorg via startx, it does nothing. [20:44] and sorry for my english)) [20:44] defcon1: hmm, maybe install the desktop kernel, and let grub handle the rest, if you need hd space you can use the package manager to remove the old kernel [20:44] DeltaZulu: No, do you have xorg installed, if not you probably did a CLI only install [20:45] I used Wubi and did an install inside windows. I assumed Wubi would install Xorg. [20:45] Where would I find the mysql-client headers, or what do I install from the repositories to get the mysql client headers [20:45] lyrae: nmap (needs to be installed) [20:45] DeltaZulu: it does. I'm more thinking of a GPU driver problem but i really don't know much about this [20:45] momomo: any suggestions on what to search for in the package manager? [20:45] ah, thanks a ton guys. got it all fixed now I think [20:45] momomo: thank you [20:46] anyone run a UI that is something other than english? [20:46] I swear. I have port 80 open. it works in windows. but in linux, outsiders cant access my apache server [20:46] by UI, i mean a locale really [20:46] and i check my ip tables too. it lookso k [20:46] mick_laptop: im using Ubuntu french and it's 100% translated [20:46] defcon1: linux-image*generic [20:46] Try 'sudo telinit 1' and see if you get recovery mode.

[20:47] Giraffe: are your card drivers ok ? can you connect an unsecure network ? I can get on a WPA network with 8.10 here (with nm-applet tho) [20:48] I have 2 computers connecting to internet through a Dlink 604 [20:48] mick_laptop: absolutely none :( Check Ctrl+ALt+F8 it normally shows the xorg log when xorg is active [20:48] Can i change or setup how much dl speed each computer get? [20:48] can kde 3.5 be installed on 8.10? [20:49] s0101: you should be able to set that up in your router configuration, thats how mine works at lease [20:49] @s0101: your router needs to support QoS (quality of service) [20:49] how can i check that? === web_change is now known as marius__ === marius__ is now known as marius [20:50] can kde 3.5 be installed on 8.10? [20:50] oops, sorry [20:50] @s0101: if it doesn't, you might give "bandwidthd" a try (software, sudo apt-get install ...) [20:50] didn't mean to re-send === marius is now known as Guest25609 [20:50] s0101: log on to your router, like if you were to change your wireless password or something and there should be a QoS tab or something where you can make that selection. Check D-Link's site for Q0S [20:50] |chiz|: is it recognized by 'modinfo $module'? [20:51] @s0101: go to the setup-page of you router (192.168.1.1) and look around. this differs on every router [20:51] i have Dl 604 [20:51] ozymandias3: Ya, search the forums/google, alot of people have done it. [20:52] :( damn computer froze again [20:52] @s0101: i just googles it, and your Dl 604 has no QoS [20:52] durt thank god. [20:53] <|chiz|> momomo: I needed to run depmod -a :( [20:53] also 4.2 is supposed to be a major improvment over 4.1 [20:53] SiDi: i think they're okay...i saw three ways of doing this [20:53] through madwifi, ndiswrapper, and then wext required no additional configuration but did require backports [20:53] |chiz|: that would have been my next question ;-) [20:53] SiDi: i did ndiswrapper and then the backports one...should i uninstall the ndiswrapper driver? do you think they're conflicting? [20:53] oh i just saw that is there a way to configure that with ubuntu? [20:55] Giraffe: well try with a WEP or unsecure network before uninstalling anything :> [20:55] durt I am running fedora8 at work to use 3.5, and I just installed fedora 10 to test 4.2, and it is the least intuative, most asinine DE. nothing works, nothign works as expected, and they get all pissy when you bring up trying to install 3.5 [20:55] @s0101: yes, the tool is called "bandwidthd", but i have never used it, so i can't help you there [20:55] i would rather change distros than deal with 4.1 [20:55] the (re-)learning curve is much smaller [20:56] i changed to fedora since or servers are rhel and it is nice to have the similarities [20:57] ozymandias3: So I hear, I think I'll stick with my Xfce :) [20:57] thanks for your help [20:58] while compiling ultrastar deluxe i got this error "configure: error: no Free Pascal Compiler found in /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games" how do i fix it??

[21:02] chumbo: i found fp-compiler, just rerun the configure command [21:03] quick question. when I use apt to try and install git-core it asks for the ubuntu disc, anyone know why that is? [21:03] chumbo, ubottu just named a package [21:03] momomo: kk [21:03] chumbo: used the quick search field above the package list [21:03] ope_: the mac has airport sharing enabled and my PC is a laptop with wireless on [21:03] beefcircuit: and you have net connectiviy?

[21:14] shadowhywind: try mounting as ext2 [21:14] i understand packages are merged/imported from debian unstable for each release, but I don't understand how package version updates work for ubuntu. Do they try to keep up with debian unstable or how do they decide on updates? What updates get sent back ubuntu versions that are not current? [21:14] LuciferToo: try fluxbox [21:15] LuciferToo: checkout crunchbang [21:15] Ian00 they mostly do security updates while working with upstream [21:16] is there any way to get ubuntu to detect my USB mouse without rebooting? [21:16] thanks prince_jammys and yoyoned [21:16] noodlesgc, it seems like there is a lot more package upgrades than just security fixes [21:16] poet: see if it's detected run lsusb in terminal [21:17] yoyoned: it doesn't appear that it is detected, although there are some rather cryptic device names [21:17] poet: post the output to pastbin [21:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/112260/ [21:19] poet: no mouse listed there, are you sure the hardware is good [21:19] lan00 ok, I think this might be what tou want: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports [21:19] can i install only excel and word from openoffice?

[21:23] Is this desktop or notebook??? [21:23] dan__: desktop. [21:23] Hi, I'm having some trouble with my "RT2501USB Wireless Adapter". When I put on heavy load on the interface it dies and I have to replug it to make it work again. Any ideas?

A site I visit switched to new icons I can't tell the difference between but if I use my own img I would gain back previous functionality. Could the hosts file be used for this?

See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SquidGuard See: http://www.squid-cache.org [21:25] Kinda the prcedure is to stick a paerclip into the tiny hole you'll see on hte front of the drive BUT doing a Ctrl+alt+delete (resart) might be easier [21:25] poet: are you using gnome [21:25] paperclip end into the hole I mean [21:25] yoyoned : isnt tht just a game? [21:25] alanbshepard70: if you used hosts you would have to duplicate the whole site somehow [21:25] yoyoned: yup [21:25] dan__: I already did a restart, and im back where i started! [21:25] i just did an update a few days ago, and now any accelerated graphics don't work. i have an ati radeon hd 3650, and it used to work fine for all opengl at least when compiz wasn't running, but thats a separate issue. now catalyst won't let it do accelerated graphics, compiz doesn't work, and glxgears show an error [21:25] Oh shoot!! [21:26] ali__: yes, isn't that what your asking for [21:26] dan__: no matter how many times i restart it witl prompt me! [21:26] jtaji: Ok thanks. [21:26] alanbshepard70: oh here's another idea, you could probably do it with greasemonkey for firefox [21:26] Then the open paerclip is yer only option to get the CD our painful! [21:26] paperclip [21:26] yoyoned : no a game maker so i can input my own sprites n stuff in it [21:26] ok [21:26] I connect to a host with ssh -X (i've also tried -Y) host and when i type echo $DISPLAY I get nothing - is there a package (ubuntu/debian) that i need installed on client/host to enable X11 forwarding?

Works just find on 8.04 and previous. [21:27] momomo: no such pkg [21:27] ali__: You may want to look into pygame [21:27] OK Toehio then try a fresh install with CD. Have a feeling your CD is faulty. [21:28] dan__: arg!!! [21:28] ..or maybe just dirty! :) [21:28] Hello. Is it possible to remote compute into another Ubuntu box?

[21:30] Whats a good program for ubuntu, which extracts cd tracks and makes them .mp3? [21:30] Mood: easiest way is system > prefs > remote desktop, and enable sharing on the target machine, then use Remote Desktop Viewer [21:31] hello all. i need some help with my wireless driver. i have the driver properly installed using the windows wireless driver (ndiswrapper -l brings up that the driver is installed, but i have not blacklisted the backup driver). it seems to be that i am unable to load the driver (iwconfig brings up "no wireless extensions"). does anybody here know anything about installing windows wireless drivers? [21:31] Mood like jtaji said [21:31] poet: your using intrepid now? [21:31] !rip | sekyourbox [21:31] sekyourbox: For information about the Sound Juicer ripping application see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping. To rip an Audio CD in KDE, put it in and then put audiocd:// in the Konqueror URL bar [21:31] jtaji: i'm using xubuntu, so i don't have system -> prefs -> remote desktop. do you know what package it is? [21:31] sekyourbox: sound juicer, as is default, just set it to... done [21:31] yoyoned: yeah [21:31] Mood: nope sorry [21:31] Im using sound juicer, it doesnt make .mp3 [21:32] i unpluged and repluge in my cddrive [21:32] jtaji: but it's called "remote desktop"? [21:32] sekyourbox seen a file converter in Add/Remove software but doesn't use MP3 methinks. When ya put in a cd SoundJuicer does it all 4 ya. [21:32] jtaji: in ubuntu it's called "remote desktop"? [21:32] Mood: it's a part of the Gnome desktop [21:32] poet: try it with a hardy livecd. If the mouse works in hardy, but not intrepid, youve found a bug and should file a bug report [21:32] jtaji: ahh, oi. i'm using xfce. i'll have to find an equivalent [21:32] anybody here familiar with wireless drivers for ubuntu? [21:32] yoyoned: will do [21:33] LOve SoundJuicer, it's like "you put a CD in, ya wanna rip it right away yea!" Yeah baby, show me love!!! :) [21:33] Mood it may not be a built in on Xubuntu not sure I don't have an Xubuntu box right now [21:33] Mood: perhaps the x11vnc package [21:33] hi guys i have a problem with sudo apt-get update [21:34] jtaji: would you recommend remote desktop in practice? or is there really no advantage over ssh? [21:35] jtaji / Ravel_: i need to help troubleshoot a friend's ubuntu box remotely. i don't know whether i could simply use ssh and poke around, or whether i need to install some remote desktop software [21:35] Mood: remote desktop doesnt encrypt the traffic (at all or as good) as ssh [21:35] momomo: so you'd just do all the remote sysadmin stuff using ssh? [21:35] Mood: I use ssh for all my administration [21:36] i get some text saying [21:36] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [21:36] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [21:36] Mood: is your friend running Gnome [21:36] Mood: i would tunnel vnc=remote desktop over ssh [21:36] jtaji: they are running gnome. but i'm running xfce [21:36] now catalyst won't let it do accelerated graphics, compiz doesn't work, and glxgears show an error [21:36] i know before that i removed 2 lines in a text file buti dont remember how [21:36] Hello 2 All [21:36] Mood: you can set up the server on their end like I mentioned, then use any vnc client on your end [21:36] i just did an update a few days ago, and now any accelerated graphics don't work. i have an ati radeon hd 3650, and it used to work fine for all opengl at least when compiz wasn't running, but thats a separate issue. now catalyst won't let it do accelerated graphics, compiz doesn't work, and glxgears show an error [21:37] are the boost libraries that come in the ubuntu repo shared or static libraries? [21:37] momomo: do you think there's an advantage of seeing the remote computer's gui? or should i be able to take care of 99.99% of sysadmin duties over a terminal via ssh? [21:37] can somebody help me [21:37] Anyone know the URI for the nVidia driver? Is it /ubuntu/dists/intrepid-updates/restricted/binary-i386??? [21:37] Mood: you can do everything over ssh, one of the great things about ubuntu is that gui tools don't mess up text config files [21:37] hmm [21:38] Mood: they coexist peacefully ;) [21:38] s0101: just wait. in ubuntu, only one package management utility can be running at the same time. [21:38] hello [21:38] Mood: that would depend on your admin console skills. from far distance i feel that using gui over ssh would be the best option for you [21:38] s0101: how did you get that error? [21:38] jtaji: ah ok. thanks momomo + Ravel_ [21:38] can somoene please help me? [21:39] SiDi: for some reason network-manager won't even detect the certificate files when i try to open them [21:39] what gives? [21:39] since a couple of days, as i upgraded my kernel (2.6.27-11-generic), after upgrade i was told to reboot as usual, but after reboot i've been asked again to reboot (and again and again if i reboot), anyone heard of a such problem? [21:39] @s0101: the problem is exactly as the message says: "another programm is using it". this means, you have two install-programs instead of one. (you can only have one iopen at a time, for security reasons) [21:40] (two open progeams i mean) [21:40] (and now when i aptitude full-upgrade, it tries to reconfigure it, but fails) [21:40] i just installed 8.10 on a 64 bit machine and foolishly clicked on the nvidia driver update [21:40] upon reboot x would not load [21:41] happyhessian: whats the error [21:42] i tried running nvidia's *.sh installer and it said that it could not run with xen. i'm not entirely sure what xen is, how to disable it or whether i want to disable it. any help? [21:42] just another question how can i connect to another computer on my dlink router remote? [21:42] i have activated remote desktop on the other comp [21:43] happyhessian: what happens if u do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [21:44] i just did an update a few days ago, and now any accelerated graphics don't work. i have an ati radeon hd 3650, and it used to work fine for all opengl at least when compiz wasn't running, but thats a separate issue. now catalyst won't let it do accelerated graphics, compiz doesn't work, and glxgears show an error [21:45] I installed Ubuntu 8.10 and it will not see my usb hard drive at all . What can I do ? [21:46] @s0101: there is an app in "applications > internet > viewer for remote desktops" [21:46] tarelerulz: what does "lsusb" tell you on the commandline? [21:46] grizlo42: are you using a proprietary driver? [21:46] tarelerulz: plug it in again, then leave it in and do dmesg | grep usb and put the output on pastebin. [21:46] skinofstars1: yes [21:47] @momomo: is lists (ls) everything connected via usb [21:47] @momomo: ah sorry, i missunderstood you [21:48] rakudave: chronosza's solution is much better, thanks for the hint though [21:48] grizlo42: i had issues the other day with nvidia after the update. my solution was this: disable/remove/deactivate (system>administration>hardware drivers) the driver, restart, re-activate/reinstall, restart. [21:48] skinofstars1: ok ill try that [21:49] thanks [21:49] grizlo42: it seems that the kernel update doesn't update with the propreitary driver [21:49] grizlo42: good lu8ck [21:49] Got problems with MSN protocol.. someone please help! Pidgin, aMSN, Kopete etc wont connect to msn using libpurple or msn-pecan [21:49] here is the pint out for dmesg | grep usb http://pastebin.com/m328d253e I can't find my usb hard drive [21:51] tarelerulz: is that the latest? why is it registering your input devices now instead of startup? [21:52] tarelerulz: what file system is on the usb stick/disk? fat? ntfs? ext3? [21:52] chronosza: It is ext3 on the usb hard drive [21:53] tarelerulz: its odd, dmesg should have mentioned something about a usb disk and whether it could or could not mount it. yours says nothing. [21:53] tarelerulz: hmm, do you mind dmesg | pastebinit [21:53] Hello [21:53] tarelerulz: just do a dmesg without grep and see if it mentions anything at the end about the disk === hfloyd is now known as BigDaddy-LA [21:54] tarelerulz: or yeah do what momomo says [21:54] 1406 :O [21:54] Got problems with MSN protocol.. someone please help! Pidgin, aMSN, Kopete etc wont connect to msn using libpurple or msn-pecan [21:54] Awesome, you can even cancel the canceling of the syncing process in Amarok :D [21:54] are there any programs for ripping files off cd and dvd (like not only video) [21:54] Did anything change on Intrepid around last Monday or Tuesday that might have made an Intel 852GM graphics machine not bring up X correctly? [21:55] hi guys [21:55] BillHarris: u mean you had graphics with intel and intrepid? :-) [21:55] @csana: depends... try opening the dvd in nautilus [21:55] Cute. :-) Yep. [21:55] rakudave, like to an iso file? [21:55] BillHarris: lucky. my 965GM gives me X but no acceleration what so ever. [21:55] It was easier than nvidia, until it stopped working. [21:56] chronosza: When it first failed, it went into low-res mode only... [21:56] im trying to read a file in php, but I do not have rights to do so. what must I set the rights to on the file to be able to read it from apache [21:56] gmap: chomd 644 file [21:56] gmap: 775 or 777 [21:56] chronosza: now it is _extremely_ slow (minutes or longer to log in), and it brings up a background image on the desktop with no panels. [21:56] Coggz: that would give it execute rights as well [21:57] BillHarris: ouch. it seems the intel drivers on intrepid are not having a good time. [21:57] what does 644 mean [21:57] gmap: You do want to give it execute rights probably === John is now known as Guest228 [21:57] where can i find smp kernel for ubuntu 8.04? [21:57] gmap: Owner r/w, everyone else read [21:57] ok [21:57] csana: yes, if i catch you meaning... [21:57] gmap: 775 or 777 [21:57] oops [21:57] gmap: you really do want execute probably [21:57] Got problems with MSN protocol.. someone please help! Pidgin, aMSN, Kopete etc wont connect to msn using libpurple or msn-pecan [21:57] worre, all the recent kernels have smp support built in [21:57] What steps can I take in 8.10 to reduce battery consumption. Apart from switching my laptop off, that is. [21:57] hmmm. i beg to differ. php should be fine as long as apache can read it. [21:57] gmap: 755 is prob what you want [21:57] chronosza: I agree. All the six text-mode consoles (at least the ones I've tried) seem happy, and I can log in from another machine. [21:58] mine doesnt [21:58] cpudan80 no execute [21:58] just read [21:58] giving it execute coull.d mean someone modifying its contents and executing it on a shel [21:58] chronosza: any ideas? [21:58] gmap: then 644 is the way [21:58] tarelerulz: you can install pastebinit by "sudo aptitude install pastebinit" [21:58] I have a problem: I'm trying to run "sudo apt-get update" but it keeps giving this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/112275/ [21:58] chronosza: giving exec does not imply giving write === hfloyd is now known as BigDaddy-LA [21:58] hi there [21:58] chronosza: I looked at /var/log/dpkg.log, but I don't see anything that jumps out at me (then again, I'm not a professional sysadmin) [21:59] Cpudan80: true, but then you would only have to get write access, not write and execure :) [21:59] momomo: Here is this what you asked for http://pastebin.com/m214aa8c6 [21:59] How to disable 3 mouse button emulation ? [21:59] Hi, Q. Is it possible to use RPM and DEB repository together using packagekit or something else? [21:59] No [21:59] BillHarris: Im at a loss of intel drivers. [21:59] im new to linux, why do you do sometimes do chmod ugo = r somefile or you do chmod 644 [21:59] It is possible to pull down RPMs and use them - but it is not a great idea [22:00] aha, ok thanks Cpudan80 [22:00] BillHarris: are u using the intel or i810 driver? [22:00] gmap: ugo = user, group, other [world] [22:00] chronosza: Okay, thx. Good luck with your problem. I'd settle for unaccellerated graphics right now. :-) [22:00] gmap: It means the same thing as the chmod [22:00] gmap: errr as the chmod with the #s [22:00] I prefer the #s [22:00] chronosza: how do I tell, quickly? [22:00] I can never remember all the little abbrevs [22:00] <_VIM_> 'pull down'? interesting way of saying 'use' ;) [22:00] whats the #s [22:01] chronosza: from the CLI [22:01] I have a problem: I'm trying to run "sudo apt-get update" but it keeps giving this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/112275/ . can anyone help? [22:01] gmap: 4 = read, 2 = write, 1 = exec [22:01] gmap: so for all three, you use 7 [22:01] for the other options you just do the math [22:01] BillHarris: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep driver [22:01] i b0rked my box, and i want to reinstall. how do i do that while keeping my home dir and stuff? my home directory is on a different partition [22:01] so read and exec is 5, [22:01] chronosza: in the pastebinit of tarelerulz is line 302 related to usb? [22:02] how did you come up with 644, just so I can learn [22:02] momomo: i missed it. where is the pastebin? [22:02] <_VIM_> jonne: look into Clonezilla [22:02] gmap: so it has to be 3 #s, the first # is for owner rights, the second # is for group rights, the third # is for everyone [22:02] chronosza: no its not, its ethernet [22:02] biggerfisch: it looks like you told your systenm to find all repositories oon [22:02] gmap: I want the owner to read/write so 4+2=6; I want the group and world to read so 4 [22:02] chronosza: http://pastebin.com/m214aa8c6 [22:02] gmap: string them together to get 644 [22:03] biggerfisch: it looks like you told your systenm to find all repositories on your localhost [22:03] oh ok cpudan80 you made it very clear [22:03] now i get it [22:03] thanks :) [22:03] ;-) [22:03] chronosza: http://pastebin.com/m214aa8c6 [22:03] It's derived from binary [22:03] Anyone knows how to disable mouse3 emulation via mouse1+mouse2 ?

[22:14] BillHarris: tried turning it off and rebooting? [22:14] guntbert, anon-proxy [22:14] BillHarris: or restarting X at least. [22:14] momomo, no but I did log out and in [22:14] chronosza: restarted X (ctrl-alt-bkspc), and the login came up with a black field for text, not white. Oh, should I reboot instead? [22:14] BillHarris: no if the driver was working it would work [22:14] momomo, should i erboot now? [22:15] momomo: I don't like the need to reboot for every occasion :) [22:15] chronosza: it's still sitting at username; I suspect it may go to password i a few minutes, if like before. [22:15] BillHarris: so all u did was update the system? [22:15] why is there a sabayon logon option? [22:15] biggerfisch: if you can, please do, yes (i know linux should be better in that regards than windows) [22:15] chronosza: all I can remember. I could reboot into XP to verify all HW is working, but I don't think that's the problem. [22:15] biggerfisch: i know linux should be better in that regards than windows) [22:16] momomo, ok I'll reboot then be back in a minute [22:16] guntbert: i know linux should be better in that regards than windows) [22:16] why is there a sabayon user option in user login? [22:16] BillHarris: u never selected a specific driver or any settings on the display? [22:16] I'm trying to sync my ipod with banshee. I originally put music on it with winamp in vista, so its windows format. When I plug it in, it charges, but isn't recognized by banshee, and it's not mounted on my desktop. What do I need to do? [22:17] chronosza: crazy week, but I seem to recall it all working Monday night and then Tuesday I had to reboot for some reason -- I think I accepted an update -- and it went into low-res mode.

[22:17] momomo: in my experience rebooting is a) seldom necessary and b) often unsuccessful, so I'd rather fix a problem "in place" if possible [22:17] chronosza: no, not that I recall...you mean since upgrading from Hardy, right? [22:17] ahmed is that associated with hp printing? [22:18] BillHarris: oh hold on. u mean u havent successfuly run intrepid in full graphics mode? [22:18] chronosza: (I upgraded from Hardy about a month after the official release) [22:18] could someone tell me how i can grep the contents within every file in a folder [22:18] id rather not use the advanced search [22:18] sweetgum: cat * | grep blah blah [22:19] chronosza: I was unclear. I've run this machine on Hardy in full graphics since about September and on Intrepid since sometime in November, all with no problems until last week. [22:19] guntbert: i understand (i thought twice before suggesting it and have reasons pro. but theres no need to discuss to end) [22:19] petafile: the problem is not banshee, but the fact that it doesn't even show up on the desktop. check if the ipod is on "hold" and replug it (sometimes it takes two tries, like my sd-card) [22:19] momomo, ok I'm back and retrying the command [22:19] sweetgum: cd /to/the/folder; grep * [22:19] jet database files are what MS Access uses ??

Any idea what I can check to see what happened? [22:20] BillHarris: that is very strange. something has changed but i dont think the driver did. [22:20] I'm using distro 8.04 and I'm trying to install Zope3. After i use synaptic to install I can find instruction to continue the installation. Could someone give me a pointer to instructions for completing the install? [22:20] guntbert: might have been a missing /etc/init.d/network reload or something like that [22:20] tarelerulz: 1 min :) [22:20] guntbert: checking the anon-proxy package [22:20] chronosza: I thought I found notes somewhere suggesting that someone broke the Intel drivers in a recent upgrade, but I'm not sure where I found that nor if it applies. [22:21] BillHarris: well as i said i can get X going as long as i turn off all acceleration or "fancy" stuff .anything trying opengl or other. [22:21] chronosza: okay; maybe I'll go google a bit...thx for your help. I may be back. [22:21] BillHarris: it really is a pain. live CD wont work for me either, does the same thing. [22:21] biggerfisch: glad it worked out, momomo saved us a lot of time :), still keep in mind that rebooting isn't generally *the cure* as in windows [22:21] momomo: point for you :) [22:21] rakudave, looks like the ipod actually froze, thanks [22:21] chronosza: oh, I did delete compiz...not that I ever ran compiz, but someone said I should delete it anyway, and there was apparently something there. [22:22] BillHarris: how did u delete it? [22:22] guntbert thank you for your advice [22:22] how do i search what applications are available through apt-get [22:22] hey, I'm constantly getting the "Your session lasted less than 10s" message. I suspect this happens because I have multiple distros sharing the same home dir. How can I solve that? [22:22] chronosza: probably apt-get delete compiz, or whatever the command is [22:22] biggerfisch: yw :) [22:22] Nitricacid: sudo apt-cache search ... [22:22] hey guys. im running ubuntu on a desktop for the first time and i notice i dont have a choice of suspending it, only hibernating. anyone know why that is? [22:23] BillHarris: ok. i did that too, remove compiz and remove compiz-fusion. um, try boot the latest intrepid live CD and see if it can run your graphics [22:23] guntbert: dont worry, its not about points from my side, you have excellent arguments for your point of view [22:23] Nitricacid: or via synaptic > status [22:23] if it can, maybe check the output of your xorg log to see what driver its using. [22:23] chronosza sudo apt-get remove compiz, sudo apt-get remove compiz-core [22:23] sigma_: add the suspend button to your deskbar [22:23] desktop as opposed to laptop [22:23] chronosza: from my history === cw is now known as cw`away [22:23] chronosza: did that after it failed. [22:23] ortsvorsteher: i dont understand [22:24] BillHarris: and? did it work? [22:24] sigma_: as default after installation there was no suspend button in the deskbar. you can add a suspend button to your deskbar and use it. [22:24] momomo: I didn't worry, but its true: you saved us a lot of time , searching and hassle - that I wanted to express with my "point for you" ;-) [22:24] ortsvorsteher: how [22:24] guntbert: :-) [22:25] chronosza: okay; that'll keep me busy overnight :-) (downloading); I installed Intrepid over the 'net. thx [22:25] My Intrepid Ibex x64 box decided to hard fail earlier in the day and I would like to investigate why. Can someone help point me to where ubuntu hides the last-session logs? [22:25] sigma_: point your mouse on deskbar, right klick, add applications and search there for the suspend button [22:25] How do I open up a port in Ibex? [22:25] ortsvorsteher: everything on my computer, the user-switch-applet, gnome-power-manager preferences, the shut down dialog, everything lacks a suspend option [22:25] tonsofpcs: nearly everything is in /var/log [22:25] BillHarris: heh well i got the 8.04 live cd to try see if that intel driver works that shipped with it and the iso was corrupt. 750mb down the toilet, and im paying for bandwidth :) [22:25] ortsvorsteher: do you mean the panel? [22:25] tonsofpcs: somewhere in /var/log... can't remember where exactly [22:26] el comando siguiente | gnome-search-tool --path=/home/usuario/Escritorio/carpeta//home/usuario/Escritorio/carpeta/ | me da http://pastebin.com/d3032c56f | también me da el mismo aviso con nautilus-search-tool | tengo el código http://pastebin.com/d608ec6f6 | estaba pensando en esta línea | argv[1] = g_strdup_printf ("--path=%s", quoted_directory); alguien sabe c? que debería de modificar para evitar el aviso con nautilu [22:26] chronosza: yowzer! ouch [22:26] sigma_: yes, the panel ... sry [22:26] !es [22:26] En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es.

[22:26] anyone know anything about madwifi drivers and getting them loaded on ubuntu ? [22:26] chronosza: oh, they changed X, though, didn't they? [22:26] sigma_: hm, i have an german ubuntu running, and here i have one in my distro [22:27] BillHarris: yeah. but it wont tell u if its the driver or not unless u try a "clean" intrepid boot. I suspect its prob a config issue. maybe get someone here to help you force the intel driver option in the xorg config file.. [22:27] How do I open up a port in Ibex? I need to open up port 3689 for DAAP. [22:27] ortsvorsteher: i'm on intrepid and like i said everything that normally has a suspend option on my laptop does not here [22:27] BillHarris: i have to go, ubuntu is throwing its toys about going to hibernate. [22:27] laterz [22:27] chronosza: thx; I've got to go, too. [22:27] <_VIM_> nibsa1242b: ibex doesnt block ports, your router is probably the one blocking [22:27] sigma_: sorry, so i have no idea.... [22:27] ortsvorsteher: can it be my hardware doesn't support suspend? i find that hard to believe, i built it a week ago with brand new parts [22:28] _VIM_: everything in on the lan side... but I'll go stick the server in the DMZ just to confirm [22:28] sigma_: no, i dont think that your hardware will be unable to let you add a suspend button to the panel.... [22:28] sigma_: it might be a problem with acpi, recognition... [22:28] server irc.homelien.no [22:29] sigma_: your hardware might just be to much of brand-new [22:29] am i asking this question the wrong way? [22:29] where can i get smp kernel for 8.04? [22:29] i'm totally stuck with this nvidia driver on 8.10 [22:29] <_VIM_> nibsa1242b: Ubuntu has the mentality of it's a "Closed House" with no windows or doors, so it does not need any more defense [22:29] momomo: it'd have the most to do with my motherboard and processor right? [22:30] worre: the default kernels are smp [22:30] happyhessian: with which driver? [22:30] Hi. After about 4 hours of being turned on, Hardy automatically suspends my laptop no matter whether I'm using it or not. How and/or where would I look to find out why? [22:30] i've tried 177 and 173 so far [22:30] _VIM_:I'm having trouble setting up a DAAP share between two Ubuntu boxen running Rhythmbox. The client doesn't see the server.

[22:31] i clicked on the restricted driver update within ubuntu and downloaded 177, upon restart i got no x [22:32] then i tried to run an old version of 173 that i still had the .sh for and it gave me a "can't work with xen" error [22:32] worre: pastebin /proc/cpuinfo [22:32] happyhessian: do you geht any error logs in xorg.log?

[22:41] dreamon hmm dunno [22:41] will it play back nice? [22:41] happyhessian: is it pcie? [22:41] Lol oh err... thats me sorted out then.... [22:41] you mean the geforce?

[22:42] anybody ever used DeVeDe? [22:42] guntbert: oh. ok then. [22:42] Limitt: testdisk is one.. don't know if it's the "stongest" [22:42] happyhessian: you have multiple graphics cards?

[22:46] and made one big partiton .. i thougt i backed everything up but it didnt copy properly to my ntfs drive [22:46] Limitt: very possible.. give it a try and see what you find.. but expect a lot of hard work.. it won't be "save *.mp3 in this folder" [22:46] oh wait, i forgot to sudo [22:46] that would actually be trivial w/ perl [22:46] just made a shortcut to the folder i no longer have [22:46] * LuciferToo trouts himself [22:46] anyone familar with UFW? I am trying to port forward and can't get the syntax right [22:46] pinguino: uninstall gdm.

I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [22:47] so the best program is what was recommended earlier? [22:47] wat was that again? [22:47] happyhessian: did that work? [22:47] i just installed ubuntu ... i want to su to root, i type su root, it asks for a pw...i put in MY pw and get an auth failure ... what's the default root pw? [22:47] PC_Nerd: windows will overwrite the MBR. Theres not much you can do about that [22:48] !root | mic_lovin [22:48] mic_lovin: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. 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 [22:48] mic_lovin: there is none [22:48] !sudo | mic_lovin [22:48] mic_lovin: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [22:48] 23:37 < jebblue> bigbrova also I found that I had to go into the volume control and on the Switches tab make sure Audigy Analog/Digital Output was unchecked [22:48] guntbert: so what, cd /proc/acpi, ls? [22:48] that dones work [22:48] mic_lovin, type "sudo ls" to do "ls" as root. [22:48] PC_Nerd: Try installing virtualbox on ubuntu and then installing windows on a virtualbox [22:48] mic_lovin, you can do "sudo bash" to get a shell as root, if that's what you want [22:48] ok, so how then would I reinstall grub, or better still can I simply "backup" the current Grub settings and rewrite it back into the MBR once windows has rewritten it (linux is on sda5 or something) [22:48] that's the right syntax? [22:48] mic_lovin: ubuntu is designed to use sudo/gksudo to do root tasks.. check the man pages for more options [22:48] what was the name of that program again? [22:48] I download themes that say they are gtk 2 some install okay, others say I am missing something. Anything I need to download to get most themes working in Ubuntu 8.10? [22:48] sigma_: yes, and instead of "cat and dog" you might like to use the program 'less' [22:49] my chat is real glitchy when I scroll [22:49] * Id prefer to have windows on sda1 for the moment, dont want to play with virtualisation just yet [22:49] and the ubuntu pulse audio wiki was of no help [22:49] bigbrova dones ? like doesn't ? [22:49] doesn't [22:49] bigbrova ah [22:49] boom say wu? [22:49] guntbert: well, this is interesting. cat /proc/acpi/sleep returns "S0 S1 S4 S5" [22:49] file recovery programs that are real good on linux [22:49] happyhessian: what is the right syntax? [22:49] name your fave please [22:49] i notice S3 is missing. and that's what suspend is, isn't it? [22:49] and i didn't even know there was a S5... [22:50] this whole pulse audio business was a big mistake [22:50] so if i want ot use a gnome editor to edit a file that is owned by root, i cant. can that be right? [22:50] yep [22:50] its just not ready for prime time [22:50] bigbrova2: try this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 [22:50] mic_lovin: gksu gedit file [22:50] sigma_, mine says S0 S3 S4 S5 :p [22:50] rsc-: and yours can suspend? [22:50] ....? [22:50] mic_lovin: several ways to do that.. EDITOR=gedit sudoedit /whateever/file/you/want/to.edit === lance_ is now known as Guest72994 [22:51] mic_lovin: sudo gedit /path/to/file [22:51] bigbrova it's a good concept kind of like Java but easier to use, it just needs more debugging, tall order with such a variety of machines - I think it is getting better [22:51] mic_lovin: or gksudo gedit file.. but I think sudoedit is the safest way.. not that I've had any problems usind gksudo gedit.. but it might (once every ten years or so) mess things up [22:51] sigma_, yep. i believe that's why i have s3 there [22:51] mic_lovin: or gksu gedit [22:51] <_VIM_> It's Gksu gedit [22:51] dont use sudo with graphical apps [22:51] use gksu [22:51] PC_Nerd: Just a thought. it works pretty well on mine. The only problem is getting ubuntu to display through my gfx card =( [22:51] oops I meant Jack not Java [22:51] yoyoned: never sudo a gui program [22:51] !gksudo | yoyoned, mic_lovin [22:51] yoyoned, mic_lovin: 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) [22:51] sigma_: I'm not good with acpi myself, but I have S0 S3 S4 S5 too, try googling for 'ubuntu acpi supend' [22:51] rsc-: and you are on a desktop? [22:52] sigma_, HP laptop sir [22:52] i work in a school where we give ubuntu laptops to our students and its my job to configure it for them .. u can image the pain of having to tell them to restart their system everything this happen .. many are new to linux [22:52] ro-kay [22:52] !who | bigbrova2 [22:52] bigbrova2: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[23:04] whatev: you can also set up a seperate root user if you prefer [23:04] whatev: you can log in as root... it's just disabled [23:05] happyhessian_: it seems to ignore the Busid option for some reason does it now have the value "2:0:0" ? [23:05] hi === diego is now known as Guest94213 [23:05] ever since i upgraded to Intrepid, none of my Crystal Space apps have been able to make sound.... why? [23:06] whatev: for a good reason.. running as root isn't cool or more powerful.. just makes your machine more vulnerable [23:06] it has 2:0.0 (that's what lsmod showed) should it be both colons (2:0:0) [23:06] no [23:06] Slart what do you mean you can login as root but it's disabled? [23:06] happyhessian_: yeah [23:07] happyhessian_: 2:0:0 << like that [23:07] Why would you need to ever login as root? If you ever needed root you could just use recovery mode [23:07] tried it [23:07] slart why is running as root more dangerous than running sudo -i to get a root shell? can't they do teh same amount of damage [23:07] happyhessian_: still same? [23:07] you shouldn't need to log in root [23:08] i think so, startx should be enough of a test right? [23:08] whatev: yes but sudo can log [23:08] whatev: ok.. say you log in as root.. if you open the system monitor in system, administration.. how many processes do you have running there? [23:08] happyhessian_: yeah [23:08] then nothing [23:08] happyhessian_: very odd [23:08] it's funny, the log writes the busid as @02:0:0 [23:08] should i put that in or that's already irrelevant? [23:09] happyhessian_: try it [23:09] maybe it needs the leading zero [23:09] whatev: you don't have to actually do that.. I can tell you there are lots of processess.. right now a process started by you can't do a lot of damage to the system.. with me so far? [23:09] not sure didnt have to use that in a long time [23:09] :) [23:09] sorry, it's 0@2:0:0 [23:09] so who knows the apt get for nvidia 6200 graphics card and how to set resolution to 1200? [23:09] ok, let's seee... [23:09] slart kinda [23:09] Does anybody know how to restore /etc/apache2 [23:09] whatev: so if you run openoffice, firefox or whatever.. they can't wipe the hard drive.. [23:09] i think the apt get i need is driver 169 or somtn [23:10] !details | tenang [23:10] tenang: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [23:10] i cant login as root because theres no passwodr for root [23:10] whatev: but if you login as root.. all those processess will be able to do *everything* on your system.. [23:10] mgolisch: i still get no screens [23:10] what does that even mean, "no screens?" [23:10] slart ah i see [23:10] whatev: firefox will be able to edit your system files.. openoffice can wipe the hard drive etc.. [23:10] whatev: so you login as a limited user and use sudo to just run that one process that needs as root [23:10] bmorris: aptitude reinstall $package, or download the package and hand pick the files you need [23:11] i need latest driver for nvidia 6200 for intrepid ibex and i need to set resolution to 1200x1200 can anyone help?detailed enuf?

[23:13] vivastreet [23:13] i wonder if it's a problem because my xorg isn't updated--i did a fresh install today of 8.10 so it's a couple months behind [23:13] it doesn't really make sense but i guess it could impact it somehow [23:14] tenang: are you able to set your resolution? system -> settings -> resolution? [23:14] is it possible to source .profile each time i load a terminal? or is there some way i can automatically do this so i dont have to type source .profile ?? [23:14] My audio does not work on Ubuntu, how do I fix it? [23:14] !details | Dan9311 [23:14] Dan9311: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [23:14] ziggles: presuming the terminal starts bash, include source ~/.profile in your bashrc [23:14] ziggles, why not put it in your .bashrc? [23:15] adaptr: thank you again... 2x today :) [23:15] Reboot,laters. [23:15] I have a problem with audio, Im running ubuntu 8.10, When I try to play a video on youtube i cant hear it. I should be able to. How do I fix this? [23:16] Dan9311: do you get sound from other sources than flash? [23:16] momomo, that doesn't regenerate my config files though.. [23:16] rsc- /etc/shadow just shows a ! where the password would go for root. what does that mean? just 'no password'? [23:16] Slart: I don't get audio from any program [23:17] ter.com [23:17] if i'm editing the .bashrc should i just give it the command "source .profile" and each time i load the term it executes that? [23:17] Dan9311: if you open the sound preferences dialog in system, preferences, sound, are you using pulseaudio or alsa? [23:17] what command can i run to see my running kernel ver? [23:17] jimmy51_home: uname -a [23:17] jimmy51_home: uname -a [23:17] thanks [23:18] whatev: the "real users " have their password hashes there, and ! is an impossible hash, so root cannot login [23:18] Dan9311: What card? [23:18] whatev, it means there's no password at all for root. [23:18] Slart: ALSA [23:18] or just uname -v [23:18] durt: No clue [23:18] Hoping somone can help with a weird problem. When i open a program, it hangs at the loadup screen, this is expected. All i need to do is minimize it and re-open in for it to boot ok.
