[01:49] BCampbell, i think thers some 'unknown user = guest' option that may be required also [01:49] Dr_willis, i shoudl create the windows user on the ubuntu box?

[02:11] BCampbell, you chown the share 'directory' not the share itself. [02:12] BCampbell, and you may want to chmod them to a mode that lets others access them. [02:12] testing, ignore [02:12] Dr_willis, yes, when i do chown -c it says all has been changed, but when I ls -l all still show as owned by root [02:12] baz: i dont think so if you man mount and scroll down to the -t option it doesnt list sshfs [02:12] what is Xmms call if i was to try and download from sudo apt-get [02:12] dude bCampbell do you know aaroncampbell? === paulj1 is now known as pauljw [02:13] baz: its easy as pie to drop it /etc/rc.local though [02:13] Limitt, no, but I've seen that nick on here [02:13] hmm i know an aarouncampbell j/w [02:13] ls [02:13] opps [02:14] BCampbell, chown -c?

Also see !patience [02:45] sandwich: it switches to the first tty/console [02:45] pyroger101, right click and restore [02:45] I installed 8.10 and then did updates, after updating my touchpad stoped working, what should I do?

[02:47] hello [02:47] hello, tanker_ [02:47] a question: if i open port 80 for my http-server in my router config, i am not very secure against common attacks (viruses,worms etc.) on windows clients am i? is there some other method of handling this? [02:47] leo_rockway, It's a bash builtin ( so information about it will be in the bash manual, you can run type to find if it's a builtin or external command ) It just runs the commands in the file you pass to it, in the current shell. So any functions or variables set / changed in the script will effect the shell you are in [02:47] I'm only getting stereo over spdif with "speaker-test -c 6", can anyone help me get 5.1? I'm using alsa 1.0.19 Here's my .asound.rc http://pastebin.ca/1323327 [02:48] !spam [02:48] Unsure how you should behave on this channel?

[02:48] Jordan_U: thank you [02:48] leo_rockway, np [02:48] dou213, you would be telling the router to forward inbound port 80 traffic specifically to the ubuntu computer; no other machine would recieve that traffic [02:49] sorry for asking but does anyone know how to remove a file from trash back to its origional location? its not as easy as u think... or is it:) [02:49] (I looked in the App Manager, but couldn't see this...) Anyone know a Font Manager/database which allows (1) arbitrary grouping and (2) printing out samples organised by these groupings? [02:49] nickrud, ok thx [02:49] how do i setup my webcam [02:49] how do i unmount something? [02:49] in terminal? [02:49] Limitt, sudo umount /path/to/mountpoint [02:50] Limitt: sudo umount [02:50] umount [02:50] thanks [02:50] pyroger101: have you opened trash and right click on the file and choose restore [02:50] ok, guess i'll try the alternate cd, seems like the desktop one doesn't like my radeon card or something [02:50] pyroger101: just click on trash and right click on file: there is restore [02:50] pyroger101, Right click > restore [02:50] there is no restore option for me in ubuntu 8.04 are you using 8.10? [02:50] pyroger101, It is not available in 8.04 [02:50] pyroger101, yep it's new in 8.10 [02:51] pyroger101, Did you delete the file recently? [02:51] pyroger101, you'll have to drag it to the right folder manually :) [02:51] pyroger101: cd ~/.local/share/Trash/files [02:51] yes an hour ago, its too big to be dragged back... about 600gb :( [02:51] one single file of 600GB!? [02:51] pyroger101: then mv [02:51] woah [02:51] my system has a lot of unsupported pci cards, think it might be an issue? [02:52] my oh my, that's a long movie [02:52] a folder... [02:52] lol [02:52] Limitt: sometimes you might have to use the -l flag (lazy or delayed unmount, kernels 2.4+ only) [02:52] ok lifenova ill try that [02:52] pyroger101: lifenova's way seems the best one then [02:52] dang im going to have to run the 15 minute scan again [02:53] I can't get my "audio recording" toggles to toggle so I can record. [02:53] pyroger101, Why can't you drag the folder back to where it needs to go? [02:53] i cant because its too big jordan [02:53] pyroger101: it would be the same as using the mv command [02:53] Anyone know a Font Manager/database which allows (1) arbitrary grouping and (2) printing out samples organised by these groupings? [02:53] Dr_willis, thanks for the help, think I got it now... [02:54] pyroger101: shouldn't matter how big it is [02:54] ok.. ummm. when i go into the /.locl/share/trash/files its not showing my full trash just some but ill keep trying thanks! [02:54] pyroger101: the data doesn't move, only the pointer to where the data is moves [02:55] when i try to drag it back it thinks that the file was never fully deleted... so there is not enough space... [02:55] Were no strangers to love [02:55] i.e. i have 1tb and 600 gb is in trash so it wont fit.... if you get it. [02:55] do du -chs ~/.local/share/Trash to see how big it is [02:55] how can I get my touchpad working? [02:56] ok brb :) [02:57] how can you figure out where something was automatically mounted [02:57] its not in the regular folders [02:57] Limitt, "mount" with no other arguments [02:57] Limitt: look in /mnt [02:57] according to my trash file in terminal i have four file but according to terminal i have two... and the one i need isnt there... i guess im looking at the wrong trash file.. [02:57] thanks [02:58] hi, is there a way to add new search engines to konqueror? [02:58] n_, Might get better help for that in #kubuntu === dnet2 is now known as rudie_co [02:58] if i upgraded to 8.10 would i loose my trash i wonder? [02:59] n_: yes, you can add as many search engines as you want [02:59] pyroger101: i think you can upgrade without erasing your home directory [02:59] this recovery disc is not letting me mount sdc my memory card anywhere its gentoo based [02:59] pyroger101, from the sounds of it is doesnt seem like your data is actually in the trash [02:59] n_: I'm using konqueror 3.5.10, but I think it works in the same way in konqueror 4.x [02:59] im trying to recover an ubuntu partition/ files [02:59] pyroger101: No, only if your home folder is on a separate partition. [03:00] pyroger101, sudo updatedb && sudo locate [03:00] ya it just seems as if the pointer is there but wont let me move it back [03:00] Sylphid: that second sudo is not needed [03:01] shoot im just gonna trash this crappy gentoo distro of system recovery and get the ubuntu version! [03:01] n_: settings > configure konqueror > web shortcuts [03:01] pyroger101, Was the directory on an external drive or other partition? [03:01] ok.... /.Trash-1000/ does that sound right? [03:01] pyroger101: do find ~ -type d -name "your_directory_name" and see if the directory exists [03:01] leo_rockway, yup my mistake [03:01] who all in here is using AchLinux? [03:01] Limitt, I like using puppy linux for swiss army knife stuff [03:01] I can't figure out why my cronjob won't run... I put this in /etc/cron.d/awstats [03:01] 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * root [ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/awstats.pl -config=www.mybuzzdroid.com -update ] [03:01] ArchLinux** [03:02] i found a way to add new search engines but how can i "add" them what information is needed? (never have done one on my own) [03:02] I have a folder with the following perms: drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 1024 /var/lib/tomcat6.0/webapps/openbd... I would like to give my user account the ability to write to it... what do I type? [03:02] been thinking about trying arch, might if i cant get this ubuntu cdrom to boot [03:02] ok i found it [03:02] grimrider, Archlinux has their own IRC channel [03:02] Jordan_U, i know, i was just wondering who in here is using it [03:02] puppy linux is awesome i have it [03:02] dougztr, be prepared for a learning curve [03:02] n_: shift + F1 on the Search URI textbox explains how [03:02] grimrider, It's nice but not for the faint of heart. ( I use it sometimes ) [03:02] does it have hav TestDisk? [03:03] grimrider, i have used it some [03:03] <_VIM_> Puppy is sweet for as small as it is [03:03] ppuppy linux? [03:03] i'm using ubuntu, but don't ask me anything cuz i'm a noob [03:03] Jordan_U, i love it. i came from ubuntu ;P [03:03] right on [03:03] er wrong channel [03:03] leo_rockway ah ok nice idea indeed :D [03:03] Sylphid, I typically run gentoo, I'm just being lazy and trying to install something low-maintenence for my kid's comp [03:03] if it has testdisk ill go ahead and boot that [03:03] n_: just search for something like "hello" copy paste the URI and then replace hello with \{@} [03:03] www.boscoslife.com loads from /var/www/bosco/index.html how do i get it to load from /home/bosco/public_html/index.html [03:03] SYLPHID IS THE KING!!!

[03:03] dougztr, ohh well in that case i love arch [03:03] and everyone else that helped of course [03:03] heck maybe its in a dot pup or wtheck they call their packages [03:03] got it all back [03:03] about three months [03:03] pyroger101: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:03] doug, ubuntu is quite low maintenance, but id really go for 8.04 rather than 8.10 personally [03:03] Sylphid, I've heard good things about it [03:04] *phew* [03:04] Thanks aswell jordan very helpful! [03:04] carpii_, seems like the 8.10 kernel is barfing on the hardware i'm trying to boot it on [03:04] pyroger101, np [03:04] what hardware ? [03:05] i think i prefer 8.04, 8.10 still has problems with some video cards etc. [03:05] im not sure reverting to 8.04 would fix that. My main gripe with 8.10 is that its just unready overall [03:05] yurebis: how do you like it ?

[03:11] it may be around the other way :P [03:11] vicky1: you need to use the user that got created during installation to delete the user or to add you to the sudoers list [03:11] redvamp128, i don't even know what that is :/ [03:11] vicky1: with? [03:11] vicky1, Do you have another account ( that does have permission to use sudo ) ? [03:11] how to put two different ext3 partitions together without date damage? [03:11] blizzardman1219\: here about 1/2 down on the page-- I use it to turn compiz on and off easy Forlong's Blog - I'm trying to comprehend the things I write [03:11] vicky1, the user that you are logged into does not have administrative permissions.... you need to log into an administrative account to do user modification [03:11] no only mine which i scrwed up with compiz it hangs when i try 2 log in [03:12] redvamp128: im not looking for different gadgets, i already use screenlets, im just looking for a way to replace the widget layer of compiz since i dont want to use compiz [03:12] Hello all. [03:12] only my account has sudo n it not responding [03:12] vicky1, try su [03:12] kora: I was suggesting that because you don't need compiz to run G.G [03:12] vicky1, then sudo [03:12] are there any good guides out there for setting up OpenLDAP on ubuntu? [03:12] hello phr0ze [03:13] I've lost all sound in a recent update. Everything was working better than ever. arggg... Ibex. [03:13] vicky1, however you will need to give another user administrative permissions before removing the administrative user [03:13] phr0ze: have you tried -- signing into the prior kernel in grub? [03:13] it says su: Authentication failure [03:13] I can do that. But if it works, then what? [03:14] phr0ze: that would tell you if it was a kernel update-- that caused the issue... [03:14] yes thats the prob....can i uninstall compiz with out sudo power?? [03:14] vicky1, did it prompt for a password? [03:14] yes [03:14] vicky1, ok you need to use the password for your original account [03:14] whats dev/sr1? [03:14] phr0ze: then from there you could edit grub and keep using the old. [03:14] oh [03:14] redvamp128: ah i c thanks then, but id like to keep the screenlets since i wrote some myself. screenlets work well without compiz, its just that there is no layer on which to put them so you can blend them away if not needed [03:14] phr0ze: and report a bug too [03:15] ok. Does that risk screwing anything else up? It was two kernels before (I think there were two this week?) [03:15] www.boscoslife.com loads from /var/www/bosco/index.html how do i get it to load from /home/bosco/public_html/index.html [03:15] phr0ze: nothing bad can happen from booting on another kernel [03:15] is sr1 sata? [03:15] dev/sr1 [03:15] phr0ze: another thing to try is to reconfig alsa-- but try the easy first to see if it was a kernel update first that caused the issue. [03:16] ok. thanks. I'll be back.

[03:17] vicky1, on othersystems you issue "visudo /etc/sudoers" [03:17] could someone help me with sshfs? I can authenticate via normal ssh, and when I view the secure log, it says I connect then disconnect. when I show debug info with sshfs it says permission denied, but I can't figure out why [03:17] mroc2: how are they raided? windows software raid? hardware raid? [03:17] vicky1, sudo usermod -aG adm [03:18] Awsoonn_: well, i'm not sure. how would i determine that? [03:18] mroc2: did it come preinstalled that way or did you set up the RAID? [03:18] vicky1, sorry its admin not adm [03:19] Awsoonn_: it came that way from dell.

[03:30] I need to open port 3689 in Ibex for DAAP. What do I need to configure to do this? [03:30] Ok, we'll see what happens. Use up some of this bandwidth:) [03:30] mroc2: i CAN'T FIND ANY SPECIFIC INFO ON HOW IT COMES CONFIGURED [03:30] I can edit it, the problem is where to add the new line. [03:31] mroc2: CAPS lock sry [03:31] LEX_WELL: depends on what you want to add [03:31] leo_rockway yeah :) i like konquerer very mutch - because it can file AND webrowse ^^ [03:31] I'm going to reboot again and try the new kernel one more time.... never know. [03:31] LEX_WELL: what are you trying to add? [03:31] leo_rockway: This line "export INTEL_BATCH=1" . [03:32] mroc2: so, in short I dont know how it will work for you, if it is in fact hardware raid ubuntu and windows hould live happily next to each other, if it is software readi, probalby not going to end well for you, I reccoment you back up EVERYTHING before you begin, just in case === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [03:32] LEX_WELL: just put it at the end, or anywhere as long as you don't break any ifs [03:33] leo_rockway: I get try it thanks. [03:33] hey, can anyone help me out configuring my wireless card? [03:33] hello [03:33] Level_5: what's up? [03:33] After I removed totem player and plugins, and installed mplayer - i could play the streaming videos online... [03:33] my sound just crackles when a sound is supposed to play. this started maybe a week ago. can someone help me troubleshoot? [03:33] but after I did the first major package upgrade of about 250 packages.. the videos stopped playing [03:34] can I revert back those updates somehow? [03:34] Awsoonn_, i'm running 8.04 on an HP dv9819wm and I'm having trouble getting the wireless card recognized [03:34] i see two video cards on sale for $50 radeon 3850 with 256MB and a geforce 8600GT with 512. which one is best to use with ubuntu [03:34] Awsoonn_: ok. i'm checking to see if i can find anything on this system from dell. i've backed things up. if it indeed is hardware, it should be safe to install? [03:34] get the 3850!!!! [03:34] 3850 is about twice the performance [03:34] ok [03:35] thanks [03:35] mroc2: yea, if it is hardware RAID then the OS will just see a single drive just like any other HDD [03:35] Yep. absolutely no sound with 2.6.27-11 [03:35] md22: I'd go for Radeon [03:35] ok [03:35] Awsoonn_: ok, great. thanks for the answer. [03:35] Level_5: is there any reason not install 8.10? the wireless drivers are MUCH MUCH better in 8.10 [03:35] talkin to me, phr0ze? [03:35] Does ati even work on ubuntu? [03:35] mroc2: np, any time ^_^ [03:35] Also I used to have a problem with my mouse disabled on boot up in like gutsy. It's been fine for a long time and now its back too. [03:36] i had 8.10 on it and had the same trouble [03:36] fxhp: yea, the open source drivers are even quite good, I'm using them now [03:36] jamiejackson: talking to who ever is listening [03:36] fxhp, i have a radeon hd-4830 working [03:36] the reason the wireless in 8.10 is better is because the 2.6.27 kernel has a load of wireless drivers [03:36] i've got same issue, was wondering if you were commenting on it. trying to troubleshoot it myself, but i don't have the skillz [03:36] Level_5: I'm going to assume you had installed all up dates, then opened the hardware drivers applicaiton and activated your closed source drivers and rebooted? [03:37] anyone - please? [03:37] I just pushed esc when booting up and used the old kernel. The sound came back [03:37] Yeah I did that [03:37] hi [03:37] You should try that jamiejackson [03:37] is there a ppa repo with opengl 3.0 support? [03:37] glut and glew libs [03:37] hello! [03:37] and optinally nvidia drivers [03:37] I want to revert the system state back to where it was, before I installed a mass upgrade of about 250 packages [03:37] fxhp: does nvidia even work with GNU/Linux? ;-) [03:38] I need some help with Cheese if someone is willing to help? [03:38] dilipgarg: There is no way that I am aware of... easily at least [03:38] jkellen: what's up? [03:38] Awsoon_, this is friggin sad! [03:38] yes nvidia does work [03:38] phr0ze: have you seen any bugs reported on the new kernel that seem to fit? [03:38] I only get "snow" when I pull up the program. [03:38] leo_rockway: Very well from what i've tested [03:38] not yet. I did a few quick searches [03:38] im a radeon man myself [03:38] dilipgarg: no kidding, update just wiped out my touchpad. :) I'm in the same boat as you [03:38] I need to figure out how to get my webcam working. [03:38] fxhp: work with GNU/Linux as in "cooperate" [03:39] T1T4N1UM_M4N: where to get the nvidia ppa drivers? [03:39] i could swear that i've gotten three kernel updates in almost as many days, phr0ze, so which kernel did you revert to? [03:39] Awsoonn_, i'm going to give that another shot and see what happens [03:39] Any ideas on what I need to do to configure it? [03:39] Ohh one more thing I noticed with the new kernel. DKMS doesnt seem to fire. [03:39] I am even planning to re-install the damn thing - if it comes to that! [03:39] 2.6.27-9 jamie [03:39] jkellen: what do you want to do with your webcam in the end? I find that even though it won't work in any applications skype works just fine and I'm using just such a webcam now :) [03:39] well i know tat nvidia does work but i dont have any nvidia cards in my pssetion so no i dont know where to get nvidia ppa drivers [03:39] I get an aditional floating editbox that steals the focus when ever i enter data in an editbox. Ithappens in firefox and the gimp, Comments sugestions. [03:39] thx, phr0ze [03:40] yeah good luck [03:40] Level_5: yea, wirelss is a pain to get running, I will not suger-caot it [03:40] I wanted to use the cool features it has to make some cool pics with the webcam part. [03:40] does anyone know anything about dual monitors on a macbook 2,1 [03:40] Level_5: It often takes a good 5-10 minutes for it to detect it's first signal for soem reason, maybe that is just me though... [03:40] bonsoir [03:41] Is "Skype" part of Utunube or whatever? [03:41] Or can you get it for Windows? [03:41] Ubuntlube. [03:41] can someone give me a simple bash script to move all avi files from a dir and all dirs within, to another central location (ie all avi in one folder when was in many folders) [03:41] jkellen: you can get skype for linux, windows and mac [03:41] jkellen: Skype can be installed [03:41] jkellen: no, you can get it for any OS. [03:41] skype is universal [03:41] nobody speak french here? [03:41] I see; does it do the same stuff as Cheese? [03:42] when i put in a usb drive it says i'm not privlidged to mount it. i tried running sudo mount /dev/usb with no results. [03:42] La_KaRne: I do, but there's also #ubuntu-fr [03:42] !fr | La_KaRne [03:42] La_KaRne: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [03:42] thanks [03:43] Before I try out Skype, any ideas on how I can at least get my webcam working for Cheese? [03:43] jkellen: Skype is a proprietary piece of software that lets you participate in a videoconference [03:43] cause I have a bash script to unrar say a season of a tv show... but then I have to manually move all the avi files out of their episode dirs [03:43] I spent all day trying to figure out how to get it, and when I did, it doesn't work right? :0 [03:43] i cant get my external monitor to work [03:43] so I could really use a little bash script to batch move them to a single folder (the avi files) [03:43] mishkins. I had something that did this.. Ill see if I can find it [03:44] does anyone know of a better deal on vps other than linode.com [03:44] Well, that doesn't sound the same as Cheese, then. [03:44] mish somthing like mv *avi /the directory to move to [03:44] jkellen: simple anwser is I don't know how, I havn't been successfull at gettign cheese to work for me, but then again I havn't tried too hard yet [03:44] jkellen: nope, it doesn't [03:44] can someone help me figure out why i'm not privileged enough to mount usb sticks? [03:44] smackpotato don't you need to specifiy the dirrectory the file is in alreayd in the move command... how do I do that so it's variable? [03:44] I see; thanks for your help! Anybody else then with any ideas on how to get my webcam working with Cheese...please? [03:45] this is the unrar script: [03:45] #!/bin/bash [03:45] for i in $(find $(pwd) -name '*.rar') [03:45] do [03:45] cd $(dirname $i) [03:45] unrar e $i [03:45] mishkins\: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:45] jkellen, skype tends to have its own configuration difficulties with sound sometimes. good luck [03:45] Out_Cold: What is the file system- ntfs? and normally with my Ubuntu I stick a stick in and it automounts it [03:46] Okay, thanks! [03:46] Well, if no one else here is familiar with how to get a webcam to work with Cheese, then I guess I will just email support. [03:46] redvamp128, I tried with a few different file systems, currently i believe it's fat32 and it did use to automount, not anymore [03:47] one folder full of 24 folders, each with a avi... how do I move them all to another single dir.... or even just up one dir [03:47] Out cold, did you install using a USB device? [03:47] jkellen: I had issues with my webcam and 8.10 worked perfect with 8.04 [03:47] phr0ze, install what? [03:47] Ubuntu. How did you install it [03:47] Did you just download the latest version, then? [03:47] jkellen: I could not get cheese to see it but used another program and it worked. [03:47] Live Cd [03:47] ohh. ok. [03:47] when does the new version of ubuntu release? [03:48] Straight from their website? [03:48] I know there was an issue with ppl who installed via thumbdrive [03:48] onobi - April [03:48] jkellen: have you been directed to this page? Webcam - Community Ubuntu Documentation [03:48] Can I use Darwin Server to stream content to a Mac from Linux? [03:48] so no one here can hellp me with a simple bash script?? [03:48] Awsoonn_, should I look @ installing NDIS Wrapper? [03:48] No, not yet; I'll check it out though. Thanks! [03:49] mish google the mv comand [03:49] Level_5: what wireless card do you have? [03:49] Yes, I can help with Bash. What is the issue [03:49] a copy or move command should do it mish [03:49] use paste.ubuntu.com and give me the output of lspci [03:49] Awsoonn_, broadcom [03:49] I did man on it and didn't find out how to make the location of the file to be moved a variable [03:49] what chipset model? [03:49] Does it maybe have anything to do with my gstreamer properties? [03:49] phr0ze: did the sound work with the older kernel? [03:49] And how exactly do I configure those? [03:49] well it used to work fine, and one day just stopped. now it says i'm not privileged enough. i think the device was sdb but that doesn't work when i try to mount that either [03:50] the 4306 I have had many frustrating successes. [03:50] redvamp128: Yes. [03:50] you can just specify the directory mish [03:50] is there anyone who uses the cube rotate effect in compiz? who gets a distorted white streak underneath the gnome top panel? everything else looks and runs perfect. just wondering if there is a way to fix? [03:50] maxxist: known bug on 5 systems of mine (all of them) [03:50] but I want it to run many times and do it for many folders so I can't specifiy a specific dirrectory [03:50] also jkellen have a look at this page Logitech webcams — QuickCam Team [03:50] maxxist: Nvidia? [03:50] ？？ where can i donwload ubuntu-dvd full version? [03:50] I get an aditional floating editbox that steals the focus when ever i enter data in an editbox. Ithappens in firefox and the gimp, Comments sugestions. [03:50] maxxist. I'd suspect the video drivers.

Now when I log into my desktop it tries to connect to wireless and asks me for the old password. I've tried resetting the password using the standard gnome interface but it hasn't made any difference. Anyone come across this? [03:54] ok thanks! [03:54] Brando753: even when you use wubi you can decide to do differant things, but lets try something ^)^ are you familiar with the terminal? [03:54] basic commands yes [03:55] how can we find the "domain name" for my machine ? [03:55] Brando753: 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt' wil mount the first partition of the first HDD in your system to the /mnt directory [03:55] doc|home, sounds like your referring to your keyring password witch is not related to your user password [03:56] phr0ze: nope I will try that and get back to you [03:56] maxxist: I can rotate the cube just fine -- and I have a Geforce4 MX 4000 (64mb video card) http://imagebin.ca/view/fTj5cmcq.html picture of my cube === mike_ is now known as Guest92868 [03:56] patmanpato: hostname?

[03:57] ok i have my hdd partition setup as this: 1st partition for opensuse and the 2nd for ubuntu. i did not like opensuse and since i had to use visual studio i remove the opensuse and install this shit of windows xp. and now i cant get load my ubuntu. i hav read somewhere on the net how to solve this problem but i cannot find it. i will be grateful if anyone can help.plz [03:57] hmm, not the hostname, its just i am installing slackware on another machine and its asking for the hostname and the domain name, so i was just curious what the domain name would be on my ubuntu box [03:58] patmanpato, is it a laptop or desktop? [03:58] thanks how do i unmount [03:58] i can t enter in #ubuntu;fr [03:58] Sylphid: ok, got any info on how I change that? [03:58] roccity_: a desktop [03:58] maxxist: http://imagebin.ca/view/63j3As_f.html that is one after the 24 fix [03:58] patmanpato, I think if you went with the defaults on install of ubuntu it would be username-desktop or username-laptop [03:59] hi [03:59] hi [03:59] has anyone got a d945gclf2 here? [03:59] doc|home, looking [03:59] roccity_: i thought that was the hostname though? whats the difference between a hostname and domainname ?

I just installed Ubuntu on my desktop again. I bought a Netgear wireless pci adapter (BCM43XG). On first boot, the wireless worked perfectly fine, then I installed the new nVidia driver and it vanished from the Hardware Drivers app. It's back in there, shown as enabled, but I can not see any network connections with it. ndis also fails. Any ideas? =\ (I've already tried using an older kernel) [04:02] i have a geforce 8400 gs im having trouble installing the drivers on my new ubuntu install [04:02] patmanpato, host name is the name of the machine and doain name is the domain that it belongs to [04:02] Sylphid: ok, thank you [04:03] patmanpato, so on slackware one part of the install asks for the hostname like slackware [04:03] BlindCamel: go to nvidias site, download the driver you require; then press ctrl+alt+6, login and type 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop'; then run the file you downloaded as 'sudo sh filehere' [04:03] I just installed my 8600gts drivers and that worked for me [04:03] patmanpato, the next screen asks for the domain ie. linux.net [04:03] Also worked on my 8400 pc [04:03] I get an aditional floating editbox that steals the focus when ever i enter data in an editbox. Ithappens in firefox and the gimp, Comments sugestions.

[04:04] roccity_: ah, thanks :) [04:04] durt: I googled forever trying to get my graphics to work, what you mentioned doesn't ring a bell as something I saw [04:05] patmanpato, which is going to be the server the slack box or ubuntu box? [04:05] durt: But downloading the 180.22 from nvidias site and doing it myself worked perfectly.... except I think it fudged my wireless [04:05] Keith1: jockey is just the app that installs the Nvidia restricted drivers [04:05] patmanpato, I would use slack for the server as ubuntu will pick up the rest quite easily [04:05] durt: The one by default in Ubuntu? Nope, didnt work === weechat_user is now known as linuxsoom [04:06] roccity_: yep, i'll use slack as the server [04:06] Keith1: hmmm, hardy? intrepid?

I'm having frequency scaling issues. I'm fairly effective as a linux user and will take any useful advice. acpi freq module won't load. celeron 1.7ghz, ubuntu ibex. [04:14] to identify all drives you run df -i? is that right? [04:14] does anyone know anything about "ultumix"??? [04:14] durt: Yeah, that's what I've noticed. [04:15] Does anyone know how to get Broadcom B43 working? It was working for me but all of a sudden died. Chipset is BCM43XG rev 01. Shows as enabled in Hardware Drivers, but.... well, isnt [04:15] durt: There's no real difference between that and "low graphics mode" as far as I can tell [04:15] <_VIM_> leroy: that or sudo lshw |less [04:15] ok. I should google. But are there point releases for 8.10? I'd like to have the latest on the install disk since nvidia drivers aren't great. [04:15] j-b-c: which nvidia card is it again [04:15] Keith1, have you tried to deactivate the driver, then activate again? [04:15] anyone? restore my bootloader? [04:15] It's a RIVA TNT2 Model 64 [04:15] _VIM_, what is the df command mean? [04:16] bj, wish I could help you [04:16] leroy: millions of times; ive gone as far as compiling the b43 thing myself, trying ndis (which showed hardware present, but couldnt do anything with it) [04:16] phr0ze: there's a new release evry 6 month so point releases are not going to happen [04:16] j-b-c: I ran that card with Win2k -- I will see what nvidia says though guessing probably the 96 [04:16] j-b-r: I think the prob is compiling old nvidia drivers on newer distros, maybe libc, gcc discrepancies etc. [04:16] Question: Ubuntuzilla only does 32bit? Even for 64bit, they install the 32bit version? [04:16] yeah... thats what I thought. [04:16] The 71 drivers are still in the repo... [04:16] It's 71, by the way [04:16] is there any way for me to avoid manually loading my pci wireless n adapter http://paste.ubuntu.com/112335/ [04:17] ? [04:17] that is what the nvidia site says [04:17] bjb1959: I think you may need to pastebin your menu.lst and describe your harddisk layout. But, to be honest, I've always had better luck just having a separate /home and reinstalling... [04:17] _VIM_, i need to format and erase my usb drive. is it sudo mkfs.etx3 /dvs/sdb1 or something like that? [04:17] I just wish my xorg.conf or dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg would do what they are supposed to... [04:17] is there any way for me to avoid manually loading my pci wireless n adapter http://paste.ubuntu.com/112335/ [04:18] edward: doing what you pasted makes it work? [04:18] edward, ist that a wmp300n ? [04:18] night [04:18] redvamp128 what size partition do you recommend for a seperate /home? [04:18] j-b-r: all I found was 71 but about 3 of them 71.86.06, 71.86.04 , 71.86.01 [04:18] edward: maybe post a bug report if its not working properly? [04:18] hey, whats the best solution for readin .chm files? [04:18] reading* [04:19] bjb1959: I installed mine with letting it take over the drive so I can't help you there [04:19] The problem isn't that the drivers don't work, though [04:19] <_VIM_> leroy: not too sure... maybe google it :) [04:19] Pnux: I think wine comes with a reader [04:19] It's that I can't install them! [04:19] When I left-click and right-click at the same time, it simulates a middle-click instead. I never use that functionality purposely, and it's interfering with a game I play which expects a right-click followed closely by a left-click. How do I disable the feature? [04:19] If I use the nvidia installer, it fails to compile a module for my kernel [04:19] danbhfive, oops I meant to ask you. if I reinstall what size should I make the partition that holds the /home? [04:20] j-b-r: you have build essentials installed? [04:20] Keith1~ i downloaded the file and tried the ctrl+alt+6 and it does nothing [04:20] yes [04:20] when i format my usb drive, it needs to be unmounted right? [04:20] bjb1959: how big is your harddrive? whats the layour? [04:20] *layout [04:20] j-b-r: Have checked /var/log/xorg.0.log to see what the prob is? [04:20] j-b-r: pm ok? [04:20] 160 gb [04:21] Sure, PM me [04:21] Uh [04:21] Let me try to remember... [04:21] danbhfive, only have the one drive right now [04:21] j-b-r: don't worry we'll be here all night, try the veal [04:22] Ugh. this would be easier if I were at the computer in question [04:22] any idea on the usb drive? [04:22] should it be unmounted to format? [04:22] how do i run a driver file i have downloaded and saved ? [04:23] Ok, I'm at the computer now [04:23] HAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY [04:23] bjb1959: well, I would suggest at least 1g combined ram and swap, 8g for /, and as much as you want for /home. /home is where all your files and settings go [04:24] BlindCamel: install your kernel headers and build-essential (linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential) [04:24] <_VIM_> cantik: do you have a real question? [04:24] keith you lost me [04:24] is there a commandline to format harddrives? [04:24] <_VIM_> fdisk Mood ? [04:24] HAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY [04:25] <_VIM_> cantik: please [04:25] _VIM_: ahh, right [04:25] BlindCamel: run 'sudo aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential' [04:25] hello, hello [04:25] BlindCamel: then go to ctrl+alt+6, login, and run 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' then run the file 'sudo sh NV.,.....' [04:25] How do I disable middle-click emulation for my mouse, where clicking left+right together generates a middle-click? [04:25] how do you run fdisk? [04:26] i need to format and erase my usb drive [04:26] Ok, the current xorg.0.log error I get is a problem parsing the config file [04:26] leroy: I suggest using gparted rather than fdisk. [04:26] but that's my fault [04:26] i did it earlier today [04:26] The one I was getting before is... [04:26] <_VIM_> yeah use gparted , or at least get Gparted's Live CD [04:26] i used mkfs.etx3 /dev/sdb1 or something [04:26] does that sound right? [04:26] I have nvidia 7950 gtx installed and when i restart my computer it takes the driver off? any can any one help? [04:27] leroy: Did you try gparted? [04:28] when going to System>Preferences>Sessions where is the startup list that it is using located? [04:28] ryanprior, sorry, no. i am looking for the command i used this morning mkfs something [04:28] leroy: You can read the man pages for fdisk and mkfs and all that you care about the means more than the end, but generally gparted makes good decisions about how to format things and it's a very easy way to handle those taks. [04:28] *tasks [04:28] Does anyone know how to get Broadcom B43 working? It was working for me but all of a sudden died. Chipset is BCM43XG rev 01. Shows as enabled in Hardware Drivers, but.... well, isnt [04:29] no [04:29] Keith1, i have to restart mine all the time [04:29] !broadcom [04:29] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [04:29] fixes it [04:29] !b43 [04:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about b43 [04:30] leroy: i cant 'restart' it per say, its all setup the way it should be to work, driver mgr has it enabled but it just doesnt work, checking out the link just posted [04:30] Hi everyone, I am thinking of buying a new printer. What inexpensive inkjets are compatible with Ubuntu [04:30] I'm trying to install gnome-do 0.8a on my machine, but even after I've added the sources and ran update I get 0.7. Help?

[04:45] <_VIM_> rainmanp7: version 9 of what? [04:45] What kernel version does 8.10 normally use? [04:46] i was looking to try rsync but i'm sorta noob & have a couple questions. should i link to the post i made on the forums? [04:46] where can I find some good tutorials? I like videos ;) lol [04:46] If I'm dual-booting Ubuntu, do I have to install it on the same disk as the MBR? [04:46] <_VIM_> GUI rsync = gnome-schedule :) [04:46] rainmanp7, _VIM_ im assuming your refering to jaunty? 9.04 if so yes there are some using it [04:46] _VIM_ ver9 of Ubuntu with Ext4 and such I just got it installed [04:46] ubuntu is so cool. Only thinking I can't do is sync my older Palm m500 mail with Evolution. [04:46] <_VIM_> rainmanp7: ah [04:46] is there anyone who uses the cube rotate effect in compiz? who gets a distorted white streak underneath the gnome top panel? everything else looks and runs perfect. just wondering if there is a way to fix? I tried forlongs "sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24" command, it didnt fix it. I also tried to transparency the dock, it worked but didnt remove the lines. and more spots this could be fixed in? its nvid [04:46] ia, if that helps. [04:46] It looks like Udevd hangs at boot with the default kernel in 8.10 amd64 -- Is there a fix? [04:48] _VIM_: gnome+do isnt really a dock, now is it? [04:48] anyone familar with ubuntu for amd64? [04:48] how do you format and erase a usb drive from the command line? [04:49] thechris I use it. on intel [04:49] _VIM_ i ran into some things and fixed them ,but i could'nt login to the forum server to post the fix stuff :( but I love the speed and love the new 9 compared to 8 for me at least [04:49] maxxist: is 8.10 able to use the default kernel? [04:49] hi there, is anyone able to help me troubleshoot my wireless connection? [04:50] thechris do you want to run 32 bit apps? [04:50] maxxist: right now i'm trying to solve my boot issues [04:51] maxxist: the default kernel option fails to boot between usb detection and udevd [04:52] maxxist: 2.6.27 as an option works. [04:52] linux_guy: you want to format it? [04:52] hi [04:52] when going to System>Preferences>Sessions where is the startup list that it is using located? === travis is now known as Guest90529 [04:52] investigating [04:52] how do automate startup items? like the cairo-dock? thanks in advance ;) [04:52] pepperjack, yes erase and format [04:53] thechris the system doesnt boot? under any of the kernels your grub menu has? [04:53] i used mkfs earlier today, i just cant remember the exact command [04:53] Neosporin420: System -> Prefs -> Sessions [04:53] thanks web [04:53] maxxist: it boots under the 2.6.27 option, but not the "default" [04:53] when going to System>Preferences>Sessions where is the startup list that it is using located? [04:53] and no one in this IRC channel seems to know what the default version is [04:53] linux_guy: sudo fdisk -l to find the partition then mkdosfs /dev/sdc1 or whatever partition. or you could just mount it cd into the dir and do a rm -fr * but id be careful with that command [04:54] !repeat | aaroninfidel_ [04:54] aaroninfidel_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [04:54] thechris weird. have you updated recently? [04:54] maxxist: this was the first boot [04:54] Limitt>> Dude? [04:54] also, synaptic wasn't able to download irssi... [04:54] pepperjack, ok it is /dev/sdb1 [04:54] is there anyone out there who can help with ndiswrapper? [04:55] pepperjack, that will make a dos partition? [04:55] thanks all, goodnight [04:55] WebcamWonder, I said the question in 3 different IRC networks, what does that matter? [04:55] thechris do an update and see if it fixes it. [04:55] aaroninfidel_: I was talking about this specific channel [04:55] Every time I boot up Ubuntu normally, half of the screen is blank and the other half is stretched out. Any fixes? [04:56] I have a cloak, but is it possible for some else to join with my N=? [04:56] Fezzler: the n=/i= part doesn't really matter [04:57] linux_guy: yeah you can do a mkfs. and hit tab a few times in termial to show all the mkfs. format options vfat just is a symlink to mkdosfs [04:58] pepperjack, so i should run sudo mkfs /dev/sdb1 [04:58] ? [04:58] linux_guy: mkfs.ext3 or mkfs.vfat or mkfs. whatever [04:58] linux_guy: youll need to use sudo also [04:58] hi, can anyone tell me how to install source packages from apt-get? [04:58] ...there has to be an easy way === anthony is now known as Guest56877 [04:59] so, synaptic can't download anything... [04:59] I want the source file for libstdc++ [04:59] how do I enable synaptic's internet access? [04:59] thechris: what's the error you get? [04:59] is it just me or do all the media players for linux use a ridiculous amount of memory? rhythmbox, exaile and listen all use 20mb-30mb or more playing 1 song.. === Guest56877 is now known as namelessnotion [05:00] music players* [05:00] squish: apt-get source packagename [05:00] sockets, have you tried vlc? [05:00] galwayrich: 0%, and it just stays there [05:00] pepperjack, that worked thanks [05:00] galwayrich: apt otherwise works. as does irc [05:00] SeaPhor, gonna give it a go.. always figured it was better used as a video player [05:00] hi ppl [05:01] WebcamWonder, thank you! [05:01] Hmmmm. check your mirror in software sources? oh apt works. [05:01] Q: Anyone here ever experienced booting up a computer trought network ? PXE, TFTP, etc ? Tks [05:01] <_brad_> sockets: vlc works great on mostly everything. Although I use Amarok even tho it uses about 24Mb ;) [05:01] sockets, it is i agree, but is slightly lighter than the others [05:02] Shwaiil, yes [05:02] Hello all! [05:02] When I boot up Ubuntu normally, from the login screen on, half of my screen is blank and half is stretched out. Is there any way to fix this? [05:02] I need some help! [05:02] thechris: when did this drop? [05:02] I need to know how to get back to my regular Windows program after I have installed Ubuntu. [05:02] jkellen: We are here to help, if we can that is [05:02] how do you get mirc to work [05:02] or wcursion [05:02] SeaPhor, hi! [05:02] excursion [05:02] jkellen: Did you install Ubuntu after windows, or the other way round? [05:03] After rebooting, how do I get back to regular Windows? [05:03] deddert, mirc does not run on linux unless you use wine. there are other irc clients such as xchat that you can use though. [05:03] after windows [05:03] I just installed Ubuntu today [05:03] <_brad_> KujiUn: can you access menus at all? [05:03] jkellen, depends on how you installes [05:03] !#!$# :) [05:03] SeaPhor, I work on 3d, I'm a blender user, and I want to start a render farm. I'm trying to learn about PXE, TFTP and i'm kind a confused. Do you have time for a few questions on pvt or here on the room, or something ? [05:03] I did it with a partition. [05:03] jkellen: During your PC boot, you should get a screen like Press a key in 10 seconds to show a menu, do it, from there you should be able to access the NTLDR [05:04] ok [05:04] hey WebcamWonder , can you help me out configuring my wireless card [05:04] also i downloaded a limewire but now i cant find it because it had to install 7 packages but i closed it now i dont know where it is [05:04] _brad_: I can't see a thing, but it doesn't accept input; I was able to log in. [05:04] does* [05:04] then what? [05:04] Level_5: Depends, I haven't done much. What card do you have [05:04] jkellen: Select Windows, and you should be good to go [05:04] I really don't know... [05:04] broadcom....its on an HP dv9819wm laptop [05:04] Hello [05:05] oh, wrong person [05:05] Level_5: Did you read the docs for broadcom? on ubuntu wiki [05:05] i'll check it out now [05:05] I really don't get that option to choose, though, when I restart. [05:05] where does the downloads go [05:05] !broadcom | Level_5 [05:05] Level_5: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [05:05] That's the problem. [05:05] did you download it from firefox? [05:05] yep [05:05] most likely your home folder [05:05] if your unsure open firefox, go to tools > downloads [05:06] right click on the file > show inf older [05:06] <_brad_> KujiUn: if you can instead login via shell, go to /home//.config in there is a monitors.xml maybe you can fiddle with the settings (possibly a wrong refresh rate in there) [05:06] in folder [05:06] So what now? === newb is now known as new2ubuntu [05:06] Shwaiil, check invite [05:06] jkellen: Perhaps the chainloader option wasn't added to your grub boot [05:06] Which means? [05:06] สวัสดีครับ [05:06] jkellen: Although, that shouldn't happen. You installed ubuntu on a new partition right? [05:06] right [05:07] What do you guys prefer? [05:07] jkellen: And you can see your Windows drive from Ubuntu [05:07] Xchat or Pidgin? === Lucifer_Cat is now known as mostlyharmless [05:07] _brad_: Oh, sorry for the lack of info. My monitor works if I go into recovery mode and xfix it before I do a normal boot. [05:07] no, I'm not really sure how to do that [05:07] again I'm very new at this [05:07] anyone here use a macbook pro? === mostlyharmless is now known as Lucifer_Cat [05:07] hey guys i was wondering if anyone has installed Ubuntu and gotten a brown artistic looking screen and install just hung on that screen [05:07] jkellen: Places -> See if your Windows Partition is listed [05:07] anyone here use a macbook pro? [05:07] Brb [05:08] i sstill cant find the downloads it wasnt in my home folder [05:08] <_brad_> KujiUn: hmm. got me on that one ;) [05:08] So, how in the world do I switch back, then? [05:09] I thought it would be a fairly simple process to go between the two... [05:09] go to tools > downloads [05:09] ok, so my network connection also randomly drops [05:09] right click on the file in the list [05:09] show in folder [05:09] and it will open the folder its in [05:09] so, apt can't download anything now either [05:09] jkellen: It is. I just wanted to confirm whether you can actually see your windows partition [05:09] is us.ubuntu.com just down? [05:09] hey guys i was wondering if anyone has installed Ubuntu and gotten a brown artistic looking screen and install just hung on that screen [05:10] Again, I don't even know where to go to see that. [05:10] Sorry to interrupt, I'm fairly new to ubuntu and was wondering if there's a command to end tasc a program or something not responding? [05:10] Should it be fairly obvious if I can? [05:10] oh, there it goes, just had to wait about 2 full minutes for it to start the download. [05:10] jkellen: On the top panel, there should be a menu named Places. Drop it down and it sould be listed there [05:10] <_brad_> gobotsoup: try this solution http://benaiah41.wordpress.com/2008/11/01/ubuntu-810-freezes-after-login-screen/ -- it worked for me, just don't attempt to add desktop effects afterwards [05:10] so, one grub kernel option brings up a kubuntu splash screen and then hangs [05:10] dyn0, im pretty sure this is installed by default but open a terminal and type in 'xkill' and then click on the program that is not responding [05:11] Thank you polygon89 [05:11] the other a ubuntu splash and seems to work, except for random bugs [05:11] No, it's not listed there. [05:12] _brad_: thanks, do you know what they mean by "Grub" boot menu? [05:12] _brad_: ...more lack of info. I believe it started when I fiddled around with the prop. driver for the video card. I managed to deactivate it, but the problem still exists. [05:12] <_brad_> gobotsoup: yeah that's if you have a dual boot system (I think) anyway it's where you choose the OS to run [05:13] <_brad_> ...just after booting [05:13] hi i have a question, wich program can be used to record sounds from the soundcard? [05:13] some help -- what is the default kernel for 8.10, and what is the file called? [05:13] I'll check my logs in case I may have forgotten something. [05:13] orest: sox, krec come to mind [05:13] does ubuntu have good openLDAP support? [05:13] _brad_: sweet, thanks i am not dual booting, this is from a machine with a blank harddrive' [05:13] <_brad_> KujiUn: wish I knew more, I've only been using linux/Ubuntu for about a week ;) [05:14] ok i'll try them, thanks epictetus [05:14] Okay, Webcamwonder, where do we go from here? [05:14] i installed unetbootin today. i forgot how to start the prog! lol [05:14] thechris: linux-image-generic or somesuch i think [05:14] jkellen: Could you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l ? [05:14] <_brad_> gobotsoup: OK then you should still have an similar option listed (recovery mode) [05:14] hi there, is anyone able to help with ndiswrapper and wireless usb devices? [05:14] oh, the install just horribly screwed up menu.lst... [05:14] I'm sorry, I really don't know what that means... [05:15] _brad_: I see. Thank you for your help. [05:15] how do i blacklist in intrepid ? [05:15] how do you start unetbootin? [05:16] hmm, that probably means the random bugs are here to stay... [05:16] jkellen: Goto Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal. Over there type (copy) this: sudo aptitude install pastebinit && sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit [05:16] jkellen: And give the link it produces on this channel [05:16] _brad_: the problem is though that i don't even make it to a log in screen, it just hangs on a brown screen when i install [05:17] did that [05:17] I need help looking for a way to make a computer turn itself on every morning at a certain time -- can cron do that? [05:17] gobotsoup: how new is the system? [05:17] jkellen: Did it give a link? [05:17] phix: cron can't run if the computer is off.. some bios's have that option [05:17] phixxor: look into magic packets. [05:18] Scunizi: ok, so it depends on my bios? [05:18] :Samma31 the system is really old like 256 MB Ram and 500Mhz processor [05:18] jkellen@jkellen-desktop:~ [05:18] oh, turn itself on. [05:18] thechris: ok [05:18] yeah [05:18] thanks VLC tip guys (low memory usage) but now i'm experiencing some skipping issues (every 4-5 seconds during playback the audio would jump) i looked up on ubuntuforums and it advised me to remove pulseaudio.. after i got this done i was thinking about getting audio output from 2 applications at once (for example: flash video and audio player, cause that doesn't work right now.. can only play 1 and the other process needs to be killed) it [05:18] phixxor: yep [05:18] Actually I entered in a command [05:18] which made it do something [05:18] like it was uninstalling or something [05:18] and that's what it came up with [05:19] how do you run unetbootin [05:19] gobotsoup: have you left the system for a while while it installs? I have a 800mhz 128mb system that looked like it had hung, but wasnt [05:19] Q: If i want to remote into my linux desktop from the windows machine, which one is the server and which one is the viewer? [05:19] sockets: this is a software mixer issue. look into something like dmix and how to re-enable it [05:19] #gnome [05:19] Is it possible to uninstall Ubuntu from here? [05:19] thanks thechris [05:19] And get straight back to Windows? [05:20] :Samma31 I think I left it for maybe 20 minutes, it was a brown screen with a small arrow curser [05:20] jkellen: And it gave you no http://pastebin/ link? Weird. Ok do this then: sudo fdisk -l, and then manually copy and paste it the output from there to www.pastebin.com [05:20] * linux_guy inserts dynamite into his usb port [05:20] tiny dynamite [05:20] when i get a file that is zipped and i extract it how do i run it [05:21] gobotsoup: i installed xubuntu just a few hours ago on an identical machine as yours... the screen did look like it was hung for a while before it took off. [05:21] but didnt take 20 mins afaik [05:21] gobotsoup: how are you installing? GUI, Alternate, network? [05:21] !ext4 [05:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 [05:21] :Samma31 I am installing from a cd [05:21] okay, I did that... [05:22] anyone know about remoting from windows into linux? [05:22] gobotsoup: are you trying to load the livecd? [05:22] now what? [05:22] jkellen: Could you give me the link to the pastebin? [05:22] WebcamWonder, you around? [05:22] there he is [05:22] linux_guy: ? [05:22] Samma31: I am booting from the cd yeah [05:22] Lucifer_Cat: IIRC, there are several options. i think cygwin has an x11 forwarding option [05:22] Lucifer_Cat: you can ssh, telnet, or vnc . the last one with tightvnc running on window and linux [05:22] WebcamWonder, ever used unetbootin" [05:22] ? [05:22] http://pastebin.com/m6b4e674a [05:22] hi [05:23] Lucifer_Cat: tightvnc [05:23] linux_guy: Nope./ Any specific issue? [05:23] Lucifer_Cat: VNC is an option, ssh/putty is an option [05:23] !vnc | Lucifer_Cat [05:23] Lucifer_Cat: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [05:23] i suggest getting rid of windows though [05:23] i swear i installed it today, i cant find it anywhere [05:23] is there a way to get limewire or kazaa to work with ubuntu [05:23] lyk3n: yes, i am looking at the vnc option... but im a little confused... which one would be the server? [05:23] linux_guy: Grub didn't get installed properly? [05:23] gwash: lol i wish. its necessary evil. my work is all windows based [05:24] deddert: there is already a linux version of limewire [05:24] jkellen: Wow, this is weird [05:24] Lucifer_cat: give me a sec [05:24] indeed [05:24] what is it [05:24] gobotsoup: when you boot, there should be an option there to check the disk for errors. If that appears fine, then it could just be taking a long time to load. My system took ages to load the livecd [05:24] I have a feeeling my harddrive is running incredibly slowly on linux. Could anyone possibly help me out to test and if it is fix it? [05:24] unsure [05:24] deddert: limewire will once you install java or you can use frostwire just a free clone [05:24] limewire [05:24] jkellen: There is no Windows partition! [05:24] WebcamWonder, unetbootin is what i used to make my usb drive bootable [05:24] Lucifer_Cat: How long did the brown screen stay on? [05:24] Is that bad news for me? [05:24] from what i am reading, it looks like the target machine will be the server. [05:24] Lucifer_Cat: yes [05:24] Did I install it wrong when I did it? [05:24] Hey [05:24] linux_guy: Oops. Sorry, don't really know.. Havne't work with it [05:24] how do i install java it froze up [05:24] Ubuntu, that is... [05:24] Does ubuntu server also come with a GUI ? [05:24] jkellen: Hold on. Let me confirm with a few more people [05:25] gobotsoup: i installed xubuntu, which is apparently lighter and has blue screens :P [05:25] ok [05:25] <_VIM_> joanesh: no [05:25] HEy what is the program called where you hover over your mp3 on your desktop nad it plays? [05:25] Lucifer_cat: go to the synaptic package manager and type out tight vnc [05:25] Guys, could someone take a look at this pastebin, http://pastebin.com/m6b4e674a and tell me that I am not blind when I say there is supposed to be a Windows partition? [05:25] i'm pretty sure it does... [05:25] gobotsoup: 10 mins or so atleast. ubuntu might take a lot longer considering you have 256 ram [05:25] joanesh: no, install one [05:25] where do i get frostwire [05:25] joanesh: you CAN install a gui [05:25] _VIM_: I am planning to use it as my desktop os a it has support for 5 years [05:25] By the way, [05:25] deddert: in synaptic its a part of ubuntu you may just need to enable all the repos [05:26] Lucifer_Cat: Yeah I may try that one, i think my comp may be too slow or something [05:26] gwash: I will do that :-).. Downloading 8.04.2 [05:26] joanesh: i'd take the more current HW support personally. [05:26] the whole reason I had installed Ubuntu was to use the Cheese program [05:26] and when I went to it my webcam wouldn't work [05:26] jkellen: indeed [05:26] WebcamWonder, no more windows there [05:26] when it did so perfectly well in windows [05:26] thechris: My laptop is over a year old and 7.10 detects all my hw [05:26] so not a problem [05:26] any reason why? [05:26] jkellen: Sylphid: There you go. Sorry jkellen, it seems as if you overwrote your windows parition [05:27] I hope I didn't wipe out my windows! [05:27] i hope you did [05:27] and do i have to set port forwarding if both the machines are on the same router? [05:27] jkellen, a good way to get good at linux [05:27] <_VIM_> jkellen: you say that as if that's a bad thing [05:27] jkellen: Unfortunately, you did [05:27] do I have to do a complete reinstall then? [05:27] gwash, wow thats horribly delicious [05:27] joanesh: my lappy's ten years old 8.04 (U-lite) works fine [05:27] jkellen: If you want Windows back. Yup [05:27] <_VIM_> you can always use windows in a virtual machine :) [05:27] the repos? [05:27] oh great! [05:27] jkellen: its possible the data is still there and you just have to reset teh partition table [05:28] but that's usually not an option [05:28] how would i do that? [05:28] thechris: NTFS -> Ext3 should overwrite the entire partition b/c of the superblocks [05:28] jkellen, have you done df -h? [05:28] <_VIM_> !who [05:28] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [05:28] don't know what that is? [05:28] come on guys i need help [05:28] gobotsoup: yeah. thats why i chose xubuntu. i was reading the ubuntu wikis and they suggested xubuntu for low end systems. [05:28] jkellen: and the easycam2 didn't work? [05:28] how do i close the update manager if it wont close [05:28] thechris, jkellen no this would not be possible as windows uses SDA1 which was reformatted with ext3 for / [05:28] SeaPhor: His fdisk -l has no windows partition [05:28] how do i blacklist modules in intrepid? [05:29] how would i go about chmod'ing a directory to be given access by all [05:29] !blacklist [05:29] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [05:29] jkellen, open a terminal and type df -h [05:29] ah, and reformatted... ok missed that [05:29] hey how do you build a theme package?

[05:41] iuiui [05:41] u cant just build one? [05:42] gobotsoup, it can vibrate and stuff.. best to screw it down.. (i have taped mine down befor) [05:42] gobotsoup, also if you ever move the case.... it can go flying. [05:42] gobotsoup: well, you should secure it, but it'll work without it.

It allows you to keep your exisiting Windows and install Ubuntu on a new parititon [06:06] deddert, torents would be the best way to get the iso's not irc. [06:06] SeaPhor: thanks.

I can get the device to work on my desktop (8.10-Desktop), however it is not working on the server (8.10-server) [06:06] Dr_willis, yes, in ubuntu it does make a default username group, but in other distros the common is "users" [06:06] and how do i get frostwore to work Torrents? [06:06] frostwire [06:06] you don't. [06:06] deddert, transmission is for torrents; it's already installed [06:06] frostwire is NOT a torrent client [06:06] you get a program like deluge [06:06] or transmission [06:06] deddert: You don't Get Transmission, or Deluge [06:06] hi all. long unsolved problem: does anybody have any idea why lshw -C Network would respond: *-network UNCLAIMED? [06:07] so how can i transition to a real partition without reformating? [06:07] sorry didnt mean those to be together [06:07] Brando753: LVPM does it [06:07] Okay, awesome... [06:07] without a risk [06:07] i ment how do i get frostwire to work [06:07] ? [06:07] So 2.6.27-11 crashes, 2.6.24-19 will boot up [06:07] and torrents? how do i get that to work [06:07] I'm so terrified I'm going to screw over my computer XD [06:07] lol m to [06:07] deddert, you're skirting up to an issue we don't discuss on #ubuntu; pirachy [06:08] Brando753: I haven't used it.

[06:08] There isn't a "splash" in grub... can I put -splash? [06:08] not risk windows [06:08] intel 5100 [06:08] will someone help me on adding a to apt-get? [06:08] i can always reinstall ubuntu [06:09] deddert, last time i used frostwire.. i had to be SURE to use the actual sun java.. not the others' and i installed it from the deb downloads and it worked [06:09] but windows cost money [06:09] Brando753: Well, the risk with LVPM to increase the parition size is the same risk you have with running Ubuntu from Wubi [06:09] where is the deb downloads [06:09] aaroninfidel: what are you trying to add? [06:09] Brando753, not if you do it right ;) [06:09] wubi is running inside windows there is no partition [06:09] i got one from frostwire.com [06:09] nm I see it [06:10] Samma3l, I've got a macbook pro and the mactel repo is giving errors because it doesn't have a public key [06:10] What is the risk with running from Wubi? [06:10] Brando753: Yes. But ntfs read/write only got fairly stable to the point that wubi can exist. That has a risk as well [06:10] Lenore: ^^ [06:10] ah [06:10] !frostwire | deddert [06:10] deddert: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.

[06:11] ineedubuntuhelp, try this..... sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid [06:11] and i can always uninstall wubi if i need windows space [06:11] Lenore, you mean to say you are just a 'geek' not a 'computer geek' ? :) === jordan is now known as Guest12358 [06:11] Brando753: Depends on your thinking. You could be corrupting your ntfs-based disk by using the ntfs-3g driver. But, this is going offtopic [06:12] Oh, yeah. I'm quite the geek. Just not so much computerly. I can still type at almost 150wpm, though! I will cling to that one accomplishment for dear life! [06:12] well what if i need the partitioned space for windows what then [06:12] ? [06:13] I get by on figuring things out as I go. And I must say, I'm damned good at it. ;P [06:13] Brando753: So, that is if you install Uubntu, and you want to then reallocate space? [06:13] <_brad_> Brando753: all I know is that I used the Ubuntu installer to successfully make a 30Gb partition for Ubuntu (well, it failed once, then tried again, it worked). It didn't affect my Windows side, except when I first ran Windows again, it went through checkdisk to fix itself, but all was good after that. [06:13] * nickrud clutches his wrists in pain, imagining his poor carpels flexing that fast [06:13] Hey everybody, quick question. What package do I need to install to get the man pages for system calls, like fork()? [06:13] sylphid: complete, but network remains unclaimed [06:13] Vorondil: man-pages-dev [06:13] aaroninfidel: do you get a GPG error? [06:13] _brad_: That checkdisk is expected since any paritioning utility runs a checkdisk after resizing partitions b/c of superblocks, etc. No need to be worried b/c of that :) [06:14] Vorondil: or manpages-dev .... [06:14] I have a UPS that is connected through RS-232 + USB converter to my machine, ubuntu finds the PL2303 Serial Port connected to a USB device... how can I know which drivers my UPS is using? [06:14] ineedubuntuhelp, you may need to reboot for the modules to load [06:14] Vorondil: manpages-dev [06:14] <_brad_> Webcamwonder: noted :) [06:14] will reboot [06:14] I'm installing linux on an old system that is single core. Would linux image 486 be better than 686 since it's single core with no hyper threading? [06:14] Vorondil: manpages-dev it is [06:14] GMWeezel: They're the same iirc [06:15] prince_jammys: Yep, looks like it. :) Thanks much! [06:15] GMWeezel: But I think they're both 686 if you want to get technical [06:15] I managed to read that as "hyperventilating" and I got a bizarre mental image.

[06:24] Is there something like a "Windows Key + R" (Run) for Ubuntu. On my Windows machines, I normally just type "Windows Key + R" then the directory path, and then enter to go a directory that I want to go to.

But if you really need Acrobat, you need to get the medibuntu repository and then install acroread from there (it might be illegal depending on your country) [06:26] ubottu::i got wireless problem with 2.6.27-11-generic.how can i fix??before,my wireless is ok..

[06:38] sylphid: still unclaimed [06:38] <_brad_> mroc1: does it say partition failed or something like that? [06:38] how do i check that i dont remember whether i said yes or not i guess i didnt [06:38] anyways how do i do that step again [06:38] ineedubuntuhelp, what modules are blacklisted [06:38] _brad_: something like that, yeah. [06:38] is there a "ifdown eth0" equivalent for wlan0? [06:38] G__81: Do this step again, it can't be harmful, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update [06:39] _brad_: more along the lines of resize operation failed i think. [06:39] i want to bring down a wireless network connection on commandline, and bring it back up [06:39] Guest46783, have you tried http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-521635.html [06:39] Mood: It should work with wlan0 as well [06:39] SeaPhor: removing and reinstalling vlc did not help [06:39] WebcamWonder: it says "ifdown: interface wlan0 not configured" [06:39] yeah now fine [06:39] Mood: ifconfig wlan0 down [06:40] <_brad_> mroc1: I had a similar situation with the 32bit, I just tried again and it worked. My first attempt at a 15gb partition failed, so I retried at 10 and it worked. But I don't think it depends on the size, as I later freed up space on the drive and made a 35Gb partition instead. [06:40] WebcamWonder: and then ifconfig wlan0 up? [06:40] shamus, what file extension are you trying to play? [06:40] Mood: To bring it back up, yes [06:40] WebcamWonder, i am new to Ubuntu have been a fedora user its really good i am enjoying it . I ve been contributing to Fedora so i guess its time for me to look contributing to Ubuntu [06:40] WebcamWonder: excellent. thanks [06:40] G__81: :)... Now, to get acrobat reader, sudo aptitude install acroread [06:40] SeaPhor: .avi, .mov anything i try to play [06:40] Mood: Glad to help [06:41] shamus: What is the problem? [06:41] _brad_: it's failed a couple times, but i wouldn't want it to start and fail during...so i think i'll keep looking for info. thanks for the reply though. [06:41] can someone assist, trying to install new version of OpenMovieEditor [06:41] <_brad_> mroc1: no worries, I did have it fail during the partition process, but windows was still OK. Maybe I got lucky ;) [06:42] WebcamWonder: vlc opens in 2 windows (one called X11) and the other with just the controls, as 2 separate processes [06:42] shamus: Separate processes? or just separate windows? [06:42] WebcamWonder: 2 separate processes [06:42] (sorry for posting this again, i got disconnected). anyone please give me an idea on how to record mpeg streams from a webcam and save it as a video file on my machine? i can view the mpeg streams on (e.g. 192.168.2.2:7777) but i don't know what application is capable of recording this. thanks [06:43] any ides on this error?:configure: error: x264 Codec in libquicktime not found, reinstall libquicktime with x264 enabled [06:43] akina: vlc [06:43] Is there a good application I can use to add songs to my iPhone? [06:43] i'm getting a partition resize failed message on the 64 bit livecd. can anyone help? trying to set up a dual boot xp laptop. [06:43] blah569: amarok [06:43] sylphid: how can i tell which modules are blacklisted? also, i see that i tried to extract to /usr/lib/firmware, but it is empty [06:44] shamus: It is a known feature/bug. More info here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-941998.html [06:44] gnome-power-manager doesn't notice when my UPS is on battery or plugged. [06:44] strange... ifconfig wlan0 up wasn't working [06:45] ineedubuntuhelp, blacklisted modules are usually in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [06:45] ineedubuntuhelp, what commands did you run to extract the firmware [06:45] how do u format drives? [06:45] like a usb drive [06:45] I am having a bit of a problem related to networking. I have a HDHomeRun TV tuner, it uses my PCs NIC to feed input. The machine has a wireless card that is used to connect to the net. For some reason, recently the machine is trying to route internal traffic out through the input of the NIC, instead of the wifi card. Is there a way to tell the pc to use the wifi card for routing instead of the NIC? [06:46] Brando753, use gparted? [06:46] brando install gparted, and try that [06:46] Quack... lol [06:46] jinx! [06:46] what a bitch. [06:46] just leaves after he gets what he wants [06:46] i see how it is [06:46] just like my ex wife [06:46] zzzzzzzzzzzing! [06:46] jmichelsen: Haven't worked much with it, but the command "route" can tell you what is getting preference on which network [06:47] WebcamWonder: ima try that [06:47] should i create two partitions for my windows os one for the os one for the files? [06:47] interesting [06:47] i'm getting a partition resize failed message on the 64 bit livecd. can anyone help? trying to set up a dual boot xp laptop. [06:47] adhit [06:47] sylphid: i am getting either command not found or permission denied for /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist (depending on sudo or not), and i did it by opening the file the mkdir /usr/lib/firmware you told me to make it, and then extracted into it by clicking on the desktop and "extract to" (sorry, new to ubuntu) === kom14 is now known as adhit [06:48] still having problems with nvidia drivers ubuntu will only run in low graphics mode, i have the driver file downloaded just dont know how to install it [06:48] ineedubuntuhelp-> firmware for what? [06:48] ineedubuntuhelp: that file is a text file. you can view it with a text editor. it's not executable [06:49] ineedubuntuhelp, for the blacklist file you want to cat it..... cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [06:49] is there anyone who uses the cube rotate effect in compiz? who gets a distorted white streak underneath the gnome top panel? everything else looks and runs perfect. just wondering if there is a way to fix? I tried forlongs "sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24" command, it didnt fix it. I also tried to transparency the dock, it worked but didnt remove the lines. and more spots this could be fixed in? its nvid [06:49] ia, if that helps. [06:49] I was wondering... i just got a gaming mouse... has a few buttons that work (like the ones on the side do forward and backward in Firefox) but the wheel has a side-to-side motion that works like buttons, too... how can i get those to work ? [06:49] WebcamWonder: Have you had experience enterpreting the route output? I am not quite sure I understand what all this means [06:49] actually your mistake was getting a gaming mouse for linux [06:49] maxxist: could be a setting in sudo nvidia-settings [06:50] linux just shits itself at the thought of anything game related [06:50] Quack[stinkpad]: the mouse works out of the box. [06:50] jmichelsen: Sure, the last column Iface tells which interface is used for which networks listed. So wlan0 is preffered or eth0 is preffered [06:50] WebcamWonder: under destination, one says default and it is pointing to a gateway IP that I don't recognize, I would assume that is the problem, any ideas? [06:50] BlindCamel-> video drivers can be found at /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/video [06:50] jmichelsen: Are you connected to a router? Or a direct connection [06:50] ineedubuntuhelp, to extract the firmware you will need to do this ..... sudo cd /usr/lib/firmware/ && sudo tar -xvf [06:50] redvamp128 you are still around. forlongs was a good site. though. [06:51] WebcamWonder: through a router [06:51] maxxist: could be be a setting there-- possibly turn on anitlasing or something like that [06:51] jmichelsen: ifconfig should also list your gateway, you can confirm from there as well [06:51] hey guys im trying to figure out how to make a usb drive bootable with an iso in ubuntu but the iso is of a different os [06:51] is it a.....WINDOWS iso? [06:51] redvamp128 checking now. [06:51] Quack[stinkpad]: not only did the mouse work out of the box... i can also control the speed of my pointer with it, too... [06:52] Sylphid -> which firmware is it for? usually there is a /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/ directory [06:52] Hi there [06:52] blacklisted i ahve: evbug, usbmouse, usbkbd, eepro100, de4x5, eth1394, snd_intel18x0m, snd_aw2, i2c_i801, prism545, bcm43xx, garmin_gps, asus_acpi, snd_pcsp, iwlagn [06:52] maxxist: I don't get that distortion -- I have a geforce 4 Mx4000 (64mb) ubuntu 8.04.2 -- running Nvidia 96 [06:52] n8tuserf, wireless modules [06:52] bz0b, if it's a windows iso then you probably gotta do it from a windows machine :/ [06:52] Quack[stinkpad], yes [06:52] cause you have to run bootsect from the cd's boot directory [06:52] WebcamWonder: I don't see a gateway under ifconfig output, I see the two adapters, and see under route the two adapters being used for different destinations [06:52] from the windows console, bootsect /nt60 drive letter [06:53] WebcamWonder: but I am unsure where this weird gateway is coming from, just under one destination [06:53] Sylphid -> then its it should be in /lib/firmware/`uname -r`/ not in /usr/lib/firmware [06:53] is, running from the live cd a bad way to check your. system, as you do not have the new updates and builds ? as i have trouble acheving any sound from my intel DG45id motherboard. [06:53] that's how i did it yesterday....i've been trying to get a bootable windows 7 cd [06:53] flash drive rather [06:53] i'm getting a partition resize failed message on the 64 bit livecd. can anyone help? trying to set up a dual boot xp laptop. [06:53] Quack[stinkpad], well i have a macbook and i have refit (for booting purposes) and i have a 2g usb drive and i need the wintendo to run a program that is not supported in linux [06:54] WebcamWonder: do you know offhand the command to change a destinations gateway? im reading the man page now [06:54] jmichelsen -> can you describe what you have again? and your network layout.. [06:54] hmm i see [06:54] jmichelsen: nevermind, ifconfig actually doesn't list it. That is weird. I am not sure about where is it coming from, are you running a dhcp or static ip? [06:54] how to install flock web browser?? [06:54] what's the different between "ifconfig eth0 down" and "ifdown eth0"? [06:54] is wine able to use the windows command line? [06:54] r-bot, my laptop had no sound, bad vid, and no wireless, untill i got all the updates, after that all worked [06:54] !find flock [06:54] Found: libfile-flock-perl [06:54] Quack[stinkpad], so if i copy the iso to a xp machine i reformatt the usb to what format? [06:54] Quack[stinkpad]: ask that in #winehq but yes I think it does [06:54] i get sudo: cd: command not found [06:54] E: Couldn't find package flock [06:55] SeaPhor: thank you i shall, install :) [06:55] Mood: I think ifup and ifdown actually run the config scripts, I am not sure though [06:55] n8tuserf: sure, I have a HDHomeRun tv tuner that uses the PC NIC to input TV broadcasts, so I am using a wifi card to get a connection to the net, the wifi card traffic is unroutable though, in some cases, I am able to ssh in, but can't apt-get update, or ping external hosts [06:55] so I just put ubuntu on my HP laptop.... ubuntu works great, (in the sense that it runs, lots of tweaks needed) but I lost the ability to boot to a windows OS :( and, I'd kind of like to continue using it...... could someone point me in the right direction? [06:55] WebcamWonder: dhcp [06:55] Mood -> i believe ifdown also takes care of dhcp stuff [06:55] r-bot, that is just my laptop's experience, yours may/will differ [06:55] Quack[stinkpad], does unetbootin work for that [06:55] redvamp128 i turned on override application settings and set anti aliasing to and anisotropic filtering to 2x. no change. yeah I am running 8.10 x64 with a nvidia 9600. driver 180. wonder if its a glitch. [06:56] i dunno, alls i know is how i did it :/ [06:56] jmichelsen: Then the gateway must be getting assigned by your router. It just seems weird your connection actually works with some weird gateway [06:56] n838901: ahh. strange it wouldn't work with my wlan0. perhaps it's a driver issue w/ ndiswrapper [06:56] it might work in fat32, but mine was done in ntfs [06:56] i ran bootsect from the cd's boot folder [06:56] jmichelsen -> the HDHomerun tv tuner is a separate box or a card you plugged into your pci bus? [06:56] n8tuserf: using the route command as suggested by webcamwonder, I see a destination pointing to a mystery gateway, using the wifi card [06:56] basically you extract the iso and copy the contents to the flash drive [06:56] maxxist: probably yes in the nvidia driver [06:56] I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 in my new laptop Compaq Presario CQ45, I'm getting sound in Headphones but not on speakers. here is my pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/112360/ , any suggestions?

[07:31] didn't they update the LTS thought [07:31] recently [07:31] Rakudave/ziroday: turns out its my front. anyway I can map my keyboard sound scroll to front? I'd hate to adjust it by mouse. === sauvin is now known as bocan === bocan is now known as sauvin [07:31] hey what was the program again for making wubi a partition, i think something went wrong :D [07:32] it's your front..? [07:32] mroc1: where did you create the mirror at? with Ubuntu or on an adaptec card? [07:32] BedPost: does your keyboard have sound keys?

[07:32] Brando753: wubi does that - and it doesn't make a partition, it just uses a file :) [07:32] bizkit: not here [07:32] darn [07:32] so I've got a partitioning/multi-boot problem, a windows os can't be found:( [07:32] Gnea: the raid was configured by the manufacturer (dell), who claims it's hardware raid. [07:32] ziroday: yes, but wait, nevermind, now that I have front adjusted to a loud enough setting, the master volume adjust is fine. However, if I remember correctly (I've had this problem before), in a 4 speaker configuration, the sound only works for the front speakers. [07:32] no there was a program to make a physical partition from the virtual one wubi made [07:32] mroc1: ah yes, dell - it's hardware raid. [07:33] ziroday: but that's a problem for another day :) thanks for the help [07:33] BedPost: well master should do what you want :) [07:33] i guess it depends on your vol app [07:33] bizkit: try #debian [07:33] * ice_cream shrugs [07:33] Gnea: so then...the fakeraid info doesn't apply?

[07:36] anyone? partitioning/multi-boot gone half bad? [07:36] mroc1: it should look at the entire raid as one harddrive and you should be able to partition and install [07:37] Gnea: ok, great. i'll give it a shot in the morning. thank you for your help. === lance_ is now known as Guest5239 [07:38] The package vmware-server needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

[07:56] jordan_: heh, did some sales person on the phone tell you that it'd be the 64bit flavor? [07:56] no, but why not make it 64bit [07:56] does hardy come with 64 bit? [07:56] hey guys i am serious. i need that smp [07:56] jordan_: never assume. [07:57] there is a 64-bit version of hardy [07:57] * Gnea looks oddly at worre [07:57] ok so I need to reinstall and wipe out everything? [07:57] Gnea: is that p2p software for ubuntu? i have try to download but my ubuntu cant find the package [07:57] jordan_: if you have anything important, back it up first - but basically, yeah === sauvin is now known as boucan [07:58] ammagendut: yes, there are tons of p2p programs for ubuntu [07:58] theres a dell rescue dvd image === boucan is now known as sauvin [07:58] jordan_: is that on a separate partition? if so, you should leave that partition alone. [07:58] Gnea: ok thanks.. i'll go to the page [07:58] not sure [07:59] * xpot sends props to Gnea for managing such a busy room by himself. -=0) [07:59] jordan_: well, get your 64bit cd/dvd and see what it says - or install gparted and see for yourself [07:59] :) [07:59] i already made the dell rescue dvd image [07:59] Laurus, no. it says when you try to create a partition? [08:00] jordan_: oh, I misunderstood - sorry [08:00] usser: No, when I try to delete the first 8 "unknown" partitions, sdb1 through sdb8. [08:00] usser: They're all 256Kb or less. [08:00] i just got it today so i don't need to back up either [08:01] i'm worried there were drivers packaged that i will need === sauvin is now known as bocan === bocan is now known as sauvin [08:01] i doubt it [08:02] * xpot pings Gnea to make sure he's not forgotten in this mess. ;) [08:02] anyway is using 32bit os on 64bit processor wasting half the processor? [08:02] ubuntu typically comes with every driver that it needs, for the most part [08:02] usser: I think I'll try to reformat all of the 8 weird partitions [08:02] usser: And THEN delete them :p [08:02] jordan_no [08:02] xpot: blah!!! is it the same version they have on the site? [08:02] jordan_ um.... no [08:02] Gnea: yes [08:03] xpot: then yeah, it should work... in theory. [08:03] ubuntu is anomity for windows virus.. but can those virus stay in ubuntu and then copy itself into usb flash? [08:03] Gnea: VMware Server 2 [08:03] so it would be slower using a 64bit os [08:04] jordan_: using 64bit would be faster, plus it'll recognize and use more than 4gigs of ram [08:04] but it will also fill more ram [08:04] Gnea: I have already attempted to re-install and uninstall without success. Are there any other methods to clean out aptitude? [08:04] Laurus, reformatting is a higher level operation than deleting the partition, usually deleting doesnt even care if the partition is intact. it will deal with anything, any random garbage. If it cant delete it, theres something really wrong. [08:04] ok so if its not wasting half the processor how would using a 64bit os be faster I don't understand that [08:04] Laurus, you are not booting from hdd you're trying to reformat are you? [08:04] usser: Ok, I see. [08:05] usser: I think I forgot to unmount it first. [08:05] usser: That's probably the problem. [08:05] xpot: it's looking for the original .deb file in /var/cache/apt/archives/ so cleaning out would not be a good idea. [08:05] usser: I'll be right back, I'm going to reboot, plug it in, and see what happens. [08:06] Gnea: I see. Do you think recreating the .deb and throwing it in ../apt/archives then removing will do the trick? (just trying to figure [08:06] my next step) [08:06] xpot: it might [08:06] Gnea: thank you much. Going to give it a shot. [08:06] jordan_: yes Gnea is right, 32 won't quite recognize 4 GBs 64 recognizes something like 16 or 32GB I think (but I wouldn't swear to it) ...... it has to do with addressing I believe but again, I'm not 100% sure [08:07] *32 vs 64 has do to with addressing I believe [08:09] ware [08:09] but you can load 2 32bit instructions in a 64bit processor === sauvin is now known as boucan [08:09] jordan_: no, it's not that simple [08:10] ok why does it say amd64 [08:10] does that matter i have intell [08:11] jordan_, ope [08:11] nope* [08:11] Hello, somebody known about ipwraw ? [08:11] jordan_, its amd64 because amd were the first to release 64-bit cpus for the desktop market iirc [08:11] how do I install and play a game besides using Wine [08:12] smacky, you need to make sure the game is linux compatible first otherwise you cant [08:12] smacky, UT2004 is a good one [08:12] jordan_ exactly, they're just "showing off" that it's 64bit [08:12] jordan_: the way they made AMD64 is that it supports both AMD and Intel 64bit procs (the AMD64 and EM64T) [08:13] excuse me - but when i use an app with hyperlinks and click them (eg Prism) the link doesnt open in firefox unless firefox is already open. If firefox isnt open - then it will start, but only at a blank page rather than at the link. Firefox is my dafult browser. Any ideas? [08:13] usser: It worked. Thanks for the help there. [08:13] Laurus, no problem [08:13] hey, what should I use for flash in firefox? [08:13] jordan_ also all intel processors since core 2 have been 64bit I believe [08:13] is wine the only Viral deaql i can use ? [08:14] nbuntu: see if firefox is activated in "system - settings - preferred apps" [08:14] yes there pentium4's are 64bit now [08:14] rakudave: yes it is === boucan is now known as sauvin [08:15] usser: One last question: how do I make the drive writable?

[08:15] hi if i change the permission of my home directory to drwxr-x--- , does this create any problem [08:15] Here we go i am trying to install Wow And i dont want to use wine is there something else that i could use ? [08:16] Ev0 i beleive there is a quake arena clone, and bzflag [08:16] usser: The drive seems to be read-only now. [08:16] Laurus, did u format it? you mounted it? [08:16] thank you Gnea, nbuntu [08:16] BedPost, try http://rkpisanu.altervista.org/doku.php?id=ubuntu_post_installazione and search flash [08:16] <_2> O__o no [08:16] how to stop people who attack my internet connection using switchsniffer and net cut on my network ? [08:16] Ev0: urban terror is the closest nix game to counter strike imo [08:16] ubuntu: then the problem could be prism... [08:16] yes i thought 64 bits was a lot larger than 32gb that would be 2^36 [08:16] kebomix: setup a firewall using iptables [08:16] rakudave: its not just prism that does it [08:16] Light, it's free? [08:16] So I'm getting this weird error from update manager. "W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following..."

[08:17] Laurus, you can just chmod the mount point [08:17] Ev0: nah, get it from their site. dont worry, you just double click the binary and it runs (make sure SDL is installed though) [08:17] you know the ipwraw driver ? [08:17] Thanks worre [08:17] nope [08:17] Laurus, if you want to it to be mounted on boot add a record to /etc/fstab [08:18] SDL???????? sorry new to *nix [08:18] for anyone else out there: when i use an app with hyperlinks and click them (eg Prism or others) the link doesnt open in firefox unless firefox is already open. If firefox isnt open - then it will start, but only at a blank page rather than at the link. Firefox is my default browser. Any ideas? [08:18] so once i download this 64 bit how do i go about installing it over the old one just put in the cd? [08:18] jordan_ yeah sorry about that, it's late and I don't think terribly well when it's late :D [08:18] :( [08:18] usser: So, run sudo chown -R username:username /media/drive ? [08:18] TheFunkbomb: works fine here [08:19] Ev0: search "libsdl" in synaptic and install it [08:19] Thank you Light [08:19] usser: Works! Excellent, thanks so much :) [08:19] <_2> Laurus if it's a linux filesystem then that should work [08:19] Gnea: what is iptables? [08:19] !iptables | kebomix [08:19] kebomix: 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). [08:19] Laurus, yep [08:19] jordan_ yeah, the easiest (in my opinion) would be to just put the CD in and when you go to choose the location make sure to check the "format partition" check box [08:20] that way it'll wipe the partition before the install [08:20] Laurus, chown it if you're the only user, if there are more ppl you probably want to chmod it to 777 too [08:20] usser: Cool, thanks :) [08:21] Question, if I'm going to run a program from a terminal, say xcalc, and I want it to not output to the terminal, how would I do that? [08:21] xcalc >> /dev/null & didn't work [08:22] Ketrel, xcalc > /dev/null & [08:22] Hi there [08:22] <_2> Ketrel xcalc >/dev/null 2>&1 & [08:22] usser: still outputs to terminal [08:22] jordan_: 2^64 bytes of RAM is something on the order of a billion gigabytes of RAM. [08:23] <_2> Ketrel it's probably outputting to stderr thus 2>&1 [08:23] _2: can you break that down, (I want to understand how it works) [08:23] i need help with Printer sharing >< [08:24] <_2> Ketrel 2>&1 ties the output of (litterally redirrects it) stderr to stdout so that the >/dev/null catches all output [08:24] is it possible to align icons to the right by default? [08:24] I have no idea why I'm missing the key :( [08:25] hoshar4 I posted the number above, it's 16 Exabytes, which is 1000 Pedabytes which is 1000 Gigabytes which is yeah 16 million Gigabytes of ram [08:25] <_2> Ketrel the three main *put's are 0 = stdin 1 = stdout and 2 = stderr there are others but that's all most people ever want/need to know about [08:25] _2 ah ok, I think I get it, I wish I understood the syntax of that though, but that's something I'll have to read up on I guess [08:27] is that all koshar4 [08:27] anyways, thanks _2 [08:28] could you guys help me set printer sharing for W****s??? I'm sort of lost [08:28] please [08:29] hey, can someone help me with a libquicktime dependency? [08:29] hoshar4 I posted the number above, it's 16 Exabytes, which is 1000 Pedabytes which is 1000*Terabytes which is 1000 Gigabytes which is actually 16 billion Gigabytes of ram [08:29] <_2> Ketrel common > redirrects stdout while you can specify 1> stdout (redundant) 2> stderr <<0 stdin you can pipe them too [08:30] I really don't want to have to format this again :( [08:30] hi all [08:31] does anyone knows how to run rybka on ubuntu? [08:31] Is there a way to lose all the changes you made to your top gnome bar? [08:31] hi, libquicktime says "libdv: Missing / Disabled (Go to http://libdv.sourceforge.net)" but i do have it installed [08:31] *koshar4 (sorry I wrote your name wrong:D) I posted the number above, it's 16 Exabytes, which is 1000 Pedabytes which is 1000*Terabytes which is 1000 Gigabytes which is actually 16 billion Gigabytes of ram [08:32] <_2> cbill it's not saying it's missing it's saying it's broken. [08:32] Pedabytes=Petabytes :) [08:32] I royally messed up my top bar in gnome, how can I fix it?

It seems it is detected as synaptics touchpad and uses wrong parameters. [09:11] !virtualization [09:11] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !kvm is the preferred approach in Ubuntu. See also !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [09:11] I found a forum entry which described how to change xorg.conf to make it work. however, my xorg.conf is almost empty and overwritten on reboot. and it seems that my settings have no effect. how can I overwrite the (wrong) default settings? [09:11] <_2> quincunx55555 it might also be to your liking to just share the /var/cache/apt/packages/ with the remote box mounting it on the dir of the same name again sshfs would work well for that. [09:11] askand, you may try X forwarding with ssh, and run apps from your stationary computer on eee but im not sure if thats exactly what u need [09:11] <_2> quincunx55555 that's a pretty easy fast and simple setup [09:11] with trying to get skype i keep getting the following [09:12] _2, yea, actually, thanks.

[09:30] <_2> |_ocke you must have looked durring a netsplit or something. [09:30] askand, no problem [09:30] yea thought it would be easier to do windows first [09:30] <|_ocke> oh from blank disk [09:30] Yossarian: does it work, if you mute the speakers manually (via sound control)? Are your manual settings ignored by the system? [09:30] <|_ocke> yeah definitely windows first :P [09:30] <|_ocke> it s greedy with the mbr [09:30] yes [09:30] jedi06: Heck yes [09:31] user, i have no idea. if i mute the speakers, they will go mute, but still no headphone [09:31] jedi06: Windows, oldest to newest, then Linux [09:31] and it will mount the ntfs volume for me [09:31] * fiveofoh is triple booting with Vista/XP/Ubuntu [09:31] And yes [09:31] <_2> !dualboot | jedi06 [09:31] jedi06: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [09:31] On my ubuntu machine every video (even the visualization of rhythmbox) flickers horribly... is this a codec problem? and when yes, how can i fix it?

[09:32] no [09:32] i can change them seperately [09:32] but no sound from headphone [09:33] jedi06: Cause it's less resource hungry [09:33] I just had it laying around [09:33] <|_ocke> jedi06, i'd say for the one reason (besides many others) that every website and everything else you do on the computer gets sent through the NSA and homeland defense dept before hitting its target [09:33] GreenDelta: are you using compiz?

[09:46] Yossarian: you could test with a livecd of jaunty (devel branch) [09:47] k1ko: k [09:47] Are there any good free browsers besides firefox? (Ideally it would also support flash and such). Mainly I'm looking for a browser that doesn't crash after 10 minutes of browsing. [09:47] lol [09:47] Heliodor, the easiest way would be to set it up for a static IP.. but I wonder what is taking DHCP so long [09:47] boshhead, maybe you should take it easy and not blame the best browser for crashing ;) [09:47] GreenDelta: then go to [tab]video and under Default Output choose plugin to be X Window System (No Xv) [09:47] boshhead: epiphany, opera, links2 -g [09:47] Heliodor, you are using a router correct?

[09:48] GreenDelta: the idea was ezerhoden's :) 10x him [09:48] Yossarian: at the moment in this channel nobody knows the solution [09:49] ezerhoden: ok thx to you, sry i mixed it up :P [09:49] oh bummer :( [09:49] * ice_cream sighs [09:49] GreenDelta: yep, np [09:50] but if it helps: in vista, i had to set the headphones as the default output before it would work. before i did, it did the same thing as in ubuntu [09:50] ice_cream: I'm not complaining about a once a day thing. The vast majority of my browsing sessions end in crashes, rather than quits. [09:50] but in ubuntu i can't find a switch for it [09:50] sfire: Yes, there is a router. But dmesg waits for the link to get ready to get up, so i am not sure that it is the router that is the problem. It is configured as static already with networkmanager properly disabled. [09:50] hey, does anyone know which compiz plugin has the window switcher on ctrl+alt+up? I've lost it and can't find which ccsm plugin it's in :( [09:51] boshhead, k, keep thinking it's firefox [09:51] Yossarian: which program you use to listen music? [09:51] ice_cream: well what is it, then? [09:51] rhythmbox, vlc for videos [09:51] sfire: funny thing is, i have two network cards and both take time to come up. [09:51] does anyone know the name of the CLI program which is spec. for last.fm ? [09:51] Heliodor, using the same ethernet cable? [09:51] sfire: and i dont have this problem in windows, or os x [09:51] hmmm [09:52] sfire: umm, you think it might be the cable? [09:52] I've seen network cables do really funny things [09:52] sfire: Good point, il check into that [09:52] is this the same cable that works fine in windows? [09:53] sfire: no, i had two cables. so you might have hit the nail here :) [09:53] Yossarian: you have that little speaker like icon near the clock? for volume control?

[09:54] Yossarian: rightClick - preferences [09:54] intuition [09:54] hi ppl! :) I've just installed Illustrator through wine and it said it installed correctly but i cant find it anywhere? Can anyone help me find it? [09:54] k1ko: yes? [09:54] boshhead: do you run many extensions or flash plugin, etc ? [09:54] how do i edit the kernel? I read somewhere that i have to commet out a line to patch it. Where is the 'kernel' that i have to edit? [09:55] guys, anyone knows how to or where to edit right click menu when I click on desktop ? [09:55] say a toyota camry driver gets into a car crash and blames toyota [09:55] hey all [09:55] jsfoxton: which version of Ill are you running ?

Although I've uninstalled them all before in frustration to see if that would help things, and it didn't. Yes I have the flash plugin, which I don't consider optional :) [09:55] okies [09:55] i looked in drive_c but cannot find it there [09:56] toehio: what are you trying to do. [09:56] or in program files [09:56] jsfoxton: that's weird , it should be there ... will Illustrator work through wine.. i thought i read somewhere thath none of Ill is supported or usable.. [09:56] ezerhoden: I installed noscript to try and help with the problem. Since a big cause of crashing (or really slowing down) is if I load a website with a lot of flash videos. Noscript disables the videos until I click on them, so it's helped a bit with that. [09:56] Yossarian: when you change the preferences better play other sound/music [09:57] boshhead: flash is probably causing the majority of the crashes [09:57] Hey folks, anyone have a working link for loki's open UT 436?

What does 'Vixie Cron' mean here? [10:02] <_2> user_ what means hearly recommend ? [10:02] bullgard4: it's just a flavor of cron. There are several cron daemons including vixie cron, fcron, dcron... [10:02] _2: locate is pretty much instant on my system O.o .. it's a database that is searched, not the actual file system .. [10:02] this is so frustrating. ubuntu works so well, all things considered. when i watch a movie in xp or vista, the system gets incredibly hot(to around 70c) but when i do the same with ubuntu, even with games, it sticks around 50-60. shows how much better it can use system resources. [10:03] _2: s/hearly/heartly [10:03] boshhead: Ah! Thank you for explaining. [10:03] <_2> UrsusTas yes it's the "updatedb" that takes for ever [10:03] <_2> user_ oh heh sorry. [10:03] hi hi, i'm back :) [10:03] _2: my mistake with the typo ;-) [10:04] <_2> user_ no i should have been able to see that, i just couldn't understand if you were advocating or denouncing [10:05] _2: which is why I suggested find for a recent install, slocate should include a cron job that runs updatedb 1/day .. I use locate first (most of the time I search for a file it's older than a day) and if nothing run a find ;) but my find is aliased as i am lazy ;) === ToGa is now known as toga30 [10:06] how to update from hardy to intrepid [10:06] <_2> !upgrade | worre [10:06] worre: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [10:07] Hi can anybody help me with my microphone in ubuntu [10:07] <_2> i go now. gooday and goodluck to your pinguin.

[10:53] alpaka, /usr/share/fonts/truetype [10:53] ice_cream: thank you [10:54] gmathews: the output indicates that is a dependency bug. ubuntu is not really a kde affine distro. opensuse would be a better choice for KDE [10:55] user_: Video, apparently... no go. Don't have a suitab;e USB adapter and the internal on the compaq is no good for injecting. [10:55] do you think it is worth keeping the fat16 and fat32 partition dell created?

Then once that is done install ubuntu in the given partitions and wallah-done [12:16] jedi06: I would go with / /swap and /home [12:16] jedi06: You don't have do /home but for reinstalls I can be a blessing [12:16] Hi i am trying to make a remote connection for the first time to a computer on my router but when i write the name of that computer it says that connection is closed [12:16] well there is a problem installing xp on this laptop so i have to start with ubuntu [12:17] jedi06: what is the problem.. i would really suggest windows first [12:17] lyhana: Please install the DEB program package 'madwifi-tools' that Ubuntu provides.

[12:32] Anyone watching the superbowl tomorrow? [12:32] how do i find out what kind of disk i have? [12:32] phorensic: it's not that that method will render the data unreadable, it's that the method will make it unreadable to most people. The FBI has the manufacturer helping them.

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [12:39] Pirate_Hunter: (I hope we are speaking about Ubuntu version 8.04 or higher.) I am surprised that Synaptic does not offer you this package for download. In that case please check your repositories list.

[12:39] Samma3l: there should be an example line listing the cd you installed from. [12:39] wow that was annoying haha [12:40] dmesg doesn't seem to be complaing much [12:40] Rabbitbunny: thanks, I think its commented out, hopefully that works [12:40] Samma3l: Yup, that's the one.

[12:42] samba is not supposed to be fast ... [12:42] momomo: so i should stick with totem? to bad it screwed my color when resetting them in settings :'( [12:42] cuz when i used slackware it was around 10MB/s ... with ubuntu it's around 3.5MB/s [12:42] Pirate_Hunter: Please explain the abbreviation 'nvm'. Does it stand for 'never mind'? [12:42] bullgard4: Yes. [12:43] sweet im online again [12:43] johan12: so for your case totem is not an option, so totem is not "better". does it also happen with vlc? [12:43] bullgard4, you got it sorry wont use it again [12:43] uni4dfx: is everything else exactly the same? [12:43] scp is a bit faster i think [12:44] uni4dfx: no, I mean, have you changed anything in your network apart from installing Ubuntu on a machine that previously had Slackware?

It was a tar.gz so I unzipped it. What shoul I do next? There are some random files. :S [13:07] John_Ribbonstalk, onboard video probably isn't that great sorry :( [13:07] install-sh is among the, [13:07] but i've gotten use to using it [13:07] Wunderbar: Read your system log and find out why it dies. [13:07] * miha now knows why people use nvidia.. so that composite extension works with direct rendering. ati doesnt do that, but rendering is fasteR:) [13:07] Wunderbar, your computer shuts off? [13:07] no, just gnome do [13:07] Where I must go, when I want playing? [13:07] but it's essentially the means by which i navigate [13:07] zagabar: ls -al | pastebin [13:08] zagabar: ls -al | pastebinit [13:08] But when I try to run install-sh, it tells me that no input file is specified.

[13:13] zagabar, thats a fun game :) [13:14] Rabbitbunny, take hours to run from a terminal? [13:14] binarymutant: Take hours to die. [13:14] binarymutant: Nice, but do I have to compile it to install it?

Might be easier than the terminal for you [13:18] and have been trying to install it via the usb [13:18] Mahmud: have you though of checking the md5sum? [13:18] when i go to system-settings-remote and check the name it says vinagre admin:0 [13:18] but whichever version i take it always fails after selecting keyboard [13:19] and asks to mount cd rom [13:19] and cannot [13:19] s0101_, go to Places->Connect to Server and change the service type to ssh, fill it in with your own details. Might be easier than the terminal for you [13:19] and doesnt let the install continue.. [13:19] ok got it its nvidia-settings [13:19] which ip should i put in ? [13:19] well, i have now downloaded, ubuntustudio 8.04, 8.10 and ubuntu jaunty thingie.. [13:19] Mahmud: Stop using the enter key as puncuation. Check the md5sum of the file you downloaded. [13:20] s0101_, the remotes IP [13:20] silv3r_m00n: Thanks for letting us know. === sparklingshrew is now known as shinygerbil [13:20] ok, how do i check that? [13:20] it looks like this on the remote [13:20] http://pastebin.com/m52d5bf5f [13:21] death.si? fellow countryman, good domainname [13:21] hehe [13:21] do you belive my router can interfer [13:21] Mahmud: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [13:21] ok.thanks [13:21] s0101_, what's that from? ifconfig? [13:22] alright, g'night guys [13:22] night. [13:22] ip route [13:22] s0101_, pastebin ifconfig [13:22] Hi all, sometimes when i rollover on the maximize, close or minimize button of a window on the top right, the title bar flickers and the colors get garbled. How should i fix this? [13:22] s0101_, from the remote server not from the client [13:23] clarks: It's extremely rude to pm people without asking. [13:23] http://pastebin.com/m76a7c81c [13:23] Rabbitbunny, sorry [13:24] s0101_, are you using the "Connect to Server" from the menu or are you still trying to use the ssh from the terminal? [13:24] s0101_, ssh -u 192.168.0.166 [13:24] s0101_, ssh -u 192.168.0.166 srry [13:25] clarks: asto how to tell if your ubuntu is hacks, That's going to depend on your particular security routine. A large indicator would be a process like 'SPAM_THEM_ALL' or some other dubious name taking up 93% of your CPU. [13:25] ssh -u ?? [13:25] and the user name must be vinagre admin:0 [13:25] my bad [13:25] Rabbitbunny, how to check it? [13:25] could anyone tell me a good site for gnome themes? [13:25] clarks: No idea. [13:25] s0101_, ssh @192.168.0.166 [13:26] elatio: gnome-look.org [13:26] thank you [13:26] :) [13:26] s0101_: what is it that you want to do? [13:26] how can i make it so that when i delete something from ftp (I use proftpd as my ftp server), the stuff goes to trash instead of permanently deleted? [13:27] Daremonai: Create a folder called 'ftp_trash' and move stuff there when you're thinking about deleting it. [13:27] setup a remote connection to a computer that is connected to my dlink router [13:28] #ubuntu-es [13:28] sry [13:28] e-frame, which category would i use to find general shell themes? (e.g; human, clearlooks) [13:28] Rabbitbunny.. it's more for deleting by mistake... I just selected all my mounted hard drives and clicked delete, when i was trying to delete the download queue... I lost some important chunks of information.. I need to prevent that from happening again. [13:28] s0101_: I see, but ssh and vnc are different options to do so [13:28] Daremonai: man chmod. [13:28] which one is the easyest? [13:29] is there a chance of Unbut supporting the Asus N10 J at somepoint? [13:29] s0101_: if you don't have the need to use graphical environment, just use ssh. That will 'breng' you to the other machine on commandline [13:29] Rabbitbunny... mmm... yeah, that would mean I won't be able to delete anything anymore.. ;) [13:29] i would like to use the grapchic [13:29] salve [13:29] s0101_: if you do want to connect graphically, you'll have to setup vnc and/or xdmcp [13:30] Someone made a guide, but wondering if it'll ever be officially supported: http://www.linlap.com/wiki/asus+n10j [13:30] Daremonai: Yeah, that's the thing about the power linux gives you, responsibility ;) Don't worry, I deleted over a years CAD work in one night of drunken installs [13:30] elatio: go find metacity, or gtk, or else depends on your system [13:30] I tried to use vnc that comes with ubuntu 8.10 but it says connection closed when i try to connect [13:30] s0101_: vnc requires a vnc server (not a client, which vinagre is) [13:31] do i need to download vnc on both places? [13:31] s0101_: but you cannot mixup the ssh and vnc thing. [13:31] s0101_: download/install vnc4server on the machine you want to connect to [13:31] Rabbitbunny, haha :) I've deleted GBs of stuff, and I live with a 128kbps connection... imagine that :P - redownloading was a pain! - but the things i deleted today were files I submitted in a competition... and some files for uni! so that ain't nice (and can't be re-downloaded) [13:32] Daremonai: Ouch. [13:32] :D [13:32] Rabbitbunny, yeah.. :) hehe! [13:32] good luck then :p [13:32] s0101_: on *that* machine start the vncserver on a display of your choice (not 0) like "vnc4server :1", it'll ask you to enter/create a password [13:32] oCean_, you can run VNC over SSH, sure [13:32] unop: yes i know, but I don't think that's what he wants/needs.. at this point [13:33] and on my machine? [13:33] I concur. [13:33] s0101_: the vnc4client [13:33] s0101_: however default in applications > internet is option "remote desktop viewer" which also will do [13:33] Thats the one i tried [13:34] s0101_: but at that point, there was no vncSERVER running at the other machine, right? [13:34] and thats the first question i had how to set it up correct on both sides with my dl604 [13:34] no [13:34] but it have remote desktop viewe [13:34] s0101_: ok. So install the vnc4server, vnc4client, and you're ready to go [13:35] How do I install GTK themes on ubuntu? [13:35] on both sides? [13:35] s0101_: client on 1 site, server on the machine you want to connect to [13:35] how to mount .iso [13:35] ? [13:35] mount -o loop name.iso /mountpoint [13:36] ok [13:36] ok [13:36] elatio: go to system, preferences, appearrance [13:36] elatio: choose install, done. [13:37] thanks i will try this [13:37] why does answering questions in launchpad give more karma than doing bugs? [13:38] people like to hear words. [13:38] :) bugs are more important though [13:39] users are important, people will fix bugs without karma, but most the time I can't be bothered to answer questions. [13:39] hu [13:39] hi, the checksum thingies are fine.... [13:39] Rabbitbunny, lol [13:40] Mahmud: okay, so oyu're got good CD's. what are they and what's going wrong? [13:40] it just keeps wanting to mmount the cd rom for the installation instead of using everything from the usb [13:40] * Rabbitbunny forgot [13:40] ok, i havent got a working cd rom [13:41] so i have been trying to install ubuntustudio using a bootable usb [13:41] but whenever i get past the selecting of keyboard type, it trys to mount and access the cd rom, and says it cannot access it to get files and asks to retry or abort installation [13:42] * Rabbitbunny knows nothing about this.

[14:05] G__81: i usually use apt-cache search kernel | grep narrow further [14:05] frog_: the reason I ask is the module may already exist but have channed names in different versions, iptables modules have changed in the past [14:05] binarymutant, no installed it [14:06] G__81, why not get the source from kernel.org [14:06] i then had this question coz i thought it was devel but then the word source surprised me [14:06] binarymutant: because ubuntu uses a patched kernel? [14:06] i was just curious to see how to install it from apt [14:07] momomo, well linux-source-2.6.29 is the source [14:07] G__81 I think if you have the src enabled in the sources.list it will pull in the source for all packages you install [14:07] oh [14:07] thats nice [14:07] G__81 If you dont want source, rem out the repos [14:08] is ubuntu targeted only towards end users and not developers?

[14:09] G__81: developers are the nasty users of everything not their own [14:09] G__81: they complain:) [14:09] G__81 with our base server and base desktop installs a dev can shape them into whatever they need [14:09] is ubuntu used by kernel developers ? [14:09] G__81 It isnt like they ever leave anything the way they get it [14:10] i guess Dave Miller uses it the person who ported Ubuntu to Sparc [14:10] How can i install fonts? [14:10] i have java installed but firefox doesnt play java games. [14:10] can please anyone help me? [14:11] G__81 we have the #Uubntu-offtopic and -chat channels for discussions. THis place will get busy soon and we then clamp down on the borderline conversations.. [14:11] G__81: i would think that kernel developers dont care much about which distro they use since they work under the hood anyway [14:11] therootest, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [14:11] hey all [14:11] therootest Did you do the click to install inside firefox or did you use our tutorial [14:11] Jack_Sparrow: not inside firefox. [14:11] Ubuntu is so light thats really impressed me when compared to Fedora [14:12] if i have a running app and I ssh over with X forwarding, Can I make the app appear on the forwarded x server without having to kill then rerun the app? [14:12] G_81, yeah it seems pretty clean too [14:12] G__81: install fluxbox or xfce, its even lighter [14:12] G__81 xubuntu is even lighter [14:12] G__81, dwm is the lightest :P [14:12] thanks! [14:13] binarymutant: no x server is lighter still [14:13] and one question its not with respect to Ubuntu as such. Why is that rpms are quite heavy i mean in terms of file size [14:13] binarymutant: dwm? ligher than a minimal lfs install? DSL? [14:13] I dislike xfce, and my benchmarks are about the same with gnome [14:13] and deb files very light in terms of file size [14:13] phorensic, only 2000 lines of code at like 2k [14:13] How can I install fonts? [14:13] G__81: extract the files from both and examine is all i can suggest [14:13] G__81 I never pulled apart an rpm so I cant see why they would be bigger for the same pavkage [14:13] !fonts | unanxbt [14:13] unanxbt: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash?

[14:20] therootest, and check whether it tells about java [14:20] frog_: I wouldn't make that assumtpion [14:20] ActionParsnip, the browser allways hangs, when the java applet is loaded, so I have to close it (sometimes even to kill it) [14:20] therootest, no, for 8.04 the commands will be same [14:20] frog_: lots changed between 2.4 and 2.6 [14:20] <|AR|> b52ub_: did you try htpasswd2 -c /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd ?

[15:13] question no. 1) i recently upgraded to 8.10. i found out today that i cant open the GNOME network dialogue to make modifications (unlock) my network settings, from dynamic to static, and vice versa. i had to make the settings via the terminal, editing the interfaces and resolv.conf files. what happened? [15:13] sharperguy: hmm, cat /etc/pbuilderrc | pastebinit (sudo aptitude install pastebinit) [15:13] mroc: ah... there are known problems with on-board raid controlles, as they require a special driver which is normaly only available for window$ [15:14] momomo, cat /etc/pbuilderrc | pastebinit [15:14] rakudave: ok. so is this something that can be done, or am i looking at an impossible or extremely complicated task? [15:14] momomo, http://pastebin.com/fdef8644 - copy/paste fail [15:14] momomo, lol that makes it obvous [15:15] can anyone help? [15:15] sharperguy: yeah, you got it ;-) [15:15] is there anyone that know a solution for this problem? [15:15] mroc: i can't think of a way of doing it... you might have to install another hd [15:15] rakudave: that would be challenging....it's a laptop. [15:15] hi [15:15] norpan check out this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=77694 it will show you how to change splash screen [15:16] sharperguy: i mean you caught the error, not that you were "slow thinking" [15:16] where can I find a feature list of 9.04? [15:16] mroc: ah shoot... well, you might use wubi to create a virtual drive within windows... that _might_ work [15:16] thnx [15:16] momomo, of course changing it to archive.ubuntu.com has still had no effect [15:17] sharperguy: hmm, pbuilder --clean again and then check that $BUILDPLACE and $APTCACHE are empty [15:18] dirs [15:18] dear brother momo i got the fonts but now what should i do [15:18] rakudave: i thought about that, but it wasn't ideal of course. thanks for the help. i think i'll keep digging a bit more, see if i can find anything. there seem to be reports of people installing ubuntu on this laptop, so maybe someone buried those details in an obscure post.

[15:27] momomo, I think "pbuilder --update" might be helping - even if its still looking at datahpo for some reason - but it is getting new sources [15:27] How do I change my default runlevel? I don't want my system to boot up into GDM. I want a simple cli where I can just do a 'startx' [15:27] hi.. [15:27] http://paste.ubuntu.com/112460/ [15:27] Goethhe, because the ftpd needs to run as a user .. and you don't want that user to be an already existing user - you could compromise files that way [15:27] Goethhe: if an attacker gets unwanted control over the ftp-server he will be limited by ftp permissions, which are very narrow [15:27] i would like to ask does ubuntu 8.10 o=effect y ethernet? [15:28] i would like to ask does ubuntu 8.10 effect my ethernet? [15:29] does anyone use Wubi? [15:29] hey guys, do you need an internet connection during the ubuntu minimal install? [15:29] Led_Zeppelin: look for the file that runs when it starts up. Edit that one. [15:29] because as i installed the 8.10 yesterday, and uninstalled it. I found out that when i put ubuntu 8/04 the ethernet is not blinking [15:29] am back [15:29] hey all, i have/had a dual boot to 2 linux distros, ubuntu is one - i updated the other and hosed both grub - i rebuilt the grub but it boots to black screen after ubuntu screen any guidance appreciated please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/112461 and http://paste.ubuntu.com/112463 for menu.lst [15:29] unop & momomo: If I disabled anonymous login in VSFTPD , can i remove the ftp user from my system? [15:29] armornick, depends if you wish to install any other packages in the process [15:29] can anyone tell me why, since the upgrade from 8.04 t0 8.10, my network settings control panel wont come up? [15:30] momomo, It also seems to want to do everything in terms of jaunty for some reason - which could be a problem [15:30] kolby, which file? [15:30] Goethhe, no, vsftpd won't be able to run then ... as i said, vsftpd needs to run as a particular user [15:30] for a commandline install, does ubuntu needs to download files during the install? [15:31] Hi I am trying to delete my old linux image after an update bu it is not there in adept after looking for 'linux-image' [15:31] armornick, no .. but it depends on what you want the system to do .. a barebones install isn't very useful [15:31] sharperguy: man-page mentions --distribution. just check it out ;-) [15:31] a [15:31] momomo, yeah I was thinking that [15:31] i installed ubuntu through windows using Wubi, and when i boot up my computer it gives me the list of OS's but when i hit Ubuntu i get "error 1: Filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist" and i can't get farther than that. windows works fine though... [15:31] armornick: no, but it is advisable, as it will download the lates language packs and updates [15:32] I have pppoe and so I need to set that up before I can use apt-get [15:32] and I want the minimal install because I need *control* [15:32] armornick: it will work without a connection, you can update later [15:33] alright, thanks [15:33] wow, the -23 kernel does not wants to boot it seems on Hardy [15:33] I am running Ubuntu 8.10 client with SAMBA loaded and working.

I have set the permissions to 777 on /media/drivename. [15:33] However, none of the options to Share it via SAMBA are available with a right click. [15:33] I am assuming this might be because it is not a permanently mounted drive, but I am not sure. Can someone help.

[15:36] betterhands, online software would be ideal, because you can access it from any computer [15:36] perhaps I should go back to Debian ;-) [15:36] danteianthe, sudo vim /boot/grub/menu.lst [15:36] is the person who recommended fluxbox still here? [15:37] but the problem with that is, I don't know how to setup wirless access via CLI. I need a GUI [15:37] thanks for the advice armornick [15:37] Led_Zeppelin: I see.

I am running the latest version and everything, and I was wondering if I could have two seperate opearting systems operating at the same time in the same computer... For instance, I have a regular server set up - http, samba, that stuff.. but I wanted to have a seperate instilation of Ubuntu desktop edition that I could connect to thruogh VNC for regular use.. I wanted them both running at the same time... doe [15:54] about how I should approach this.. [15:54] garyd: who owns that directory? root or you? [15:54] i have a question about pptp connection/program. when i open Network Connections, the VPN tab is there, but all the buttons are greyed out. am i missing the VPN package?

The proftpd install advised me that was the best option. Though it is not on my system and apt cant find it [15:55] !find xinetd [15:55] Found: xinetd [15:55] hi guys i have a usb wifi adapter how do i tell what it is what do i type is it somthing like lspci but a usb version?

So I chose inetd [15:57] psicobra: really? i have it in 8.10 [15:57] sorry guys is for my other machine it doesnt have lsusb [15:57] yeah it is on my puppy distro i am in my ubuntu box automatically puts me in this room sorry [15:57] s0101: wait a sec. [15:57] ok [15:57] cheers [15:57] solved! [15:57] s0101: so what are you using [15:57] remote desktop [15:58] next question: why do I not get a menu when I right click on the desktop? [15:58] I will reinstll proftpd now that i actually have xinetd installed. It seems to be a dependancy as the server cant be started without it. [15:58] what are you using for remoting?

[16:05] sections:) [16:05] can you explain that? [16:06] At gnome-look.org, there is a section named "Maemo", what is this?

[16:08] Dr_willis_, Google says that its a nokia os, then why what "maemo" is doing at gnome-look! [16:08] ideas [16:08] unanxbt, it could be its a device that runs gnome/linux [16:08] can i use port 8080 for remote? [16:09] Is that normal my Xorg loads with "ati" and "radeon" drivers, both together? I can see that in My Xorg.= log [16:09] unanxbt, i recall seeing those a few years ago. befor netbooks....] [16:09] Dr_willis_, so we can not try it at our ubuntu!

[16:11] xfce and fluxbox, for speed and looks [16:11] multipass: is fluxbox speedier than xfce? [16:11] fluxbox = windows manager... xfce = desktop env. [16:11] :) [16:11] satans: im using fluxbox. but i've been using it only for a day. [16:12] I would assume fluxbox is faster, xfce is a nice balance between fluxbox and gnome [16:12] Dr_willis_: ahh. im still a noob :P [16:12] anyone here use smplayer? [16:12] dancebaby: Yes, I do. [16:12] it was sudo apt-get and the name of the package ? [16:12] how are you finding the fluxbox environment? [16:12] satans: What do you mean? [16:13] what have u found the advantages to be [16:13] It's fast. [16:13] why do i get a time out when i try to connect? [16:13] why it stop when play for several time? [16:14] satans: Also have experience with both fluxbox and xfce. xfce is reacher and easyer to configure and maintain. [16:14] Ok. So I've been trying to get an old nvidia card working in 8.10 for about a week now, and I only just found out that 8.10 dropped support for all the 71 and 96 cards! [16:14] Is that really true? [16:14] satans: I had a chance to play a bit around, it's fast, lightweight. Other thing is how much do you want it to be user-friendy, as not everybody is used to set settings adding new entries to scripts. [16:14] Do I have to reinstall 8.04? [16:14] xfce looks kinda good. rest of 'performance' UI managers luck horrible [16:14] dancebaby: Mean it hangs? [16:14] look [16:14] not luck :) [16:14] ye [16:14] thats what i found, its especially user friendly [16:14] at least from first impressions [16:15] I love xfce [16:15] needs some time to configure it [16:15] satans: Fluxbox is user friendly? [16:15] lol [16:15] what kinds of internet tvs can i watch with Ubuntu? [16:15] i love gnome, but i found out i could live with xfce. [16:15] satans: So, seems to fulfill your need, right :) ? [16:15] It works perfectly fast on a pentium 2!

I tried upgrading from hardy to intrepid but i stopped the upgrade while it was downloading packages [17:04] hermes_, just saw that isnt it working for you, which section are you trying to fix? [17:04] then cp -al dir1/ dir2/ would hard link files, so it would take an insignificant extra space [17:04] can i remove /etc/event.d/rc1 to rc5 ? [17:04] remote desktop knowledge is needed [17:04] hi, I would create a presentation with avidemux using some pictures. Does anybody know of a tutorial about it? [17:04] G__81, you mean consoles, the text ones without gui? Why would you want to get them to stop? Basically, you can't since the gui is on the 7th [17:04] G__81, nooooo! [17:04] G__81: you are throwing me calling them windows :p [17:05] then i restarted the upgrade later and all of a sudden update-manager says im intrepid but i'm still in hardy === Dackel_ is now known as Dackel [17:05] the reason why i meant windows is that i just want a command line terminal but all these opens in separate windows [17:05] lsb_release -a gives me Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 [17:05] lastly, when I run, again, rsync - a --delete dir0/ dir1/ ,dir1/ would be modified (files added and removed) to mirror dir0/ BUT if files are removed, they would not be physcially deleted because cp -la made a hard link earlier right ? [17:05] storbeck: test on fault sectors [17:05] G__81, what you're messing with there is the fundamental startup process of the whole os, be very afraid and careful [17:05] Besogon: fsck [17:05] nickrud, just need one terminal to run my programs [17:05] storbeck: ok [17:05] G__81: Why did you install any WM? [17:05] shoop [17:06] Pirate_Hunter: The odd thing is that this file have worked earlier....now it doesn't. If I change 'ati' to 'vesa' I'm able to boot x normally, but the part regarding various resolutions is for some reason excluded. I only get to use 800x600 [17:06] G__81, console? the ones you hit alt-f1-> alt- storbeck, i didnt install any VM. The terminal opens in separate xterm kind of windows [17:06] Can somebody please help me? [17:06] nickrud, no [17:07] nickrud, it opens in separate windows like xterm with minimize, close buttons [17:07] s0101: wha do you wanna do ? [17:07] when i press alt + tab i see 6 virtual Consoles minimized [17:07] setup ubuntu remote desktop [17:07] G__81, ok, lets share some terminology so we're talking about the same things. consoles are text only, full screen, start with something about tty1-6 at the top. One of those? [17:07] nickrud, you got it ? :) [17:07] i get connection closed or timeout [17:07] s0101: command line or visual ? [17:07] visual [17:07] oh [17:07] Just press ctrl+alt+f1 :/ [17:07] :) === rho_ is now known as darkrho [17:07] nickrud, yes [17:08] s0101: so you set it up and it works except you get connection closed ? [17:08] nickrud, it says Virtual Console on top of every window [17:08] I want to connect to a computer on my router [17:08] Pirate_Hunter: I think some script added a # after some of the sections, but only after the title....does this mean that the entire section automaticly will be excluded or does it only skip the parts on the current line ? [17:08] i dont want any GUI Stuff all i need is to run my C programs there [17:08] G__81: stop trolling [17:08] G__81, ok, those are not windows. they are consoles. Windows are rectangles on a gui desktop [17:08] hermes: no give me a sec [17:08] I have configured firestarter to be open for port 5900 [17:08] G__81: Well, you have to be using some sort of WM if you are getting more than one terminal [17:09] and i have configured remote computer for remote desktop [17:09] !enter | s0101 [17:09] s0101: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [17:09] i use a dlink 604 router [17:09] sorry [17:09] storbeck, i just debootstrap and created the UbuntuFS [17:09] s0101: you suing ssh -x ? [17:09] G__81, so, delete tty2 -> tty6 in /etc/event.d/ and reboot. Or better yet, just leave them cuz you might have a crash in your program and need a backdoor into the system to fix things [17:10] not sure but i want a graphich connection [17:10] G__81: my bad, ignore trolling comment :p [17:10] hermes: rename that xorg.conf to xorg.conf.bak plz than delete the original file [17:10] how can i see my default gateway (router)'s ip address from ifconfig? [17:10] whatev: try netstat -rn to see your default route [17:10] i thought remote desktop that comes with ubuntu should be the easy option [17:11] hermes: heck ill just post my current xorg.conf and you can see what is missing [17:11] whatev: or just 'route' [17:11] nickrud, yes exactly i deleted it and now what happens is that i get only one Console where in i can type but i still get 5 consoles where in i cannot type anything. I just get a blank screen in those 5 console [17:11] s0101: well, if you are inactive on a remote connection, it can close on you [17:11] this is the first time i try to use it [17:12] G__81, what about when you hit 6, 7, or 8 [17:12] s0101: so is it , you leave it inactive and then it dies on you? [17:12] I dont get a connection [17:12] nickrud: he is using UML, which is why his VCs show up as windows [17:12] jtaji typing 'route' just showed an ip of 192.168.1.0, but my router is 192.168.1.1 [17:12] i get the tty6 properly coz i ve deleted the remaining 5 [17:12] s0101: well, what did you install/configure to do this ? [17:12] G__81: Although I may get flamed for this, but why did you go through the trouble of setting up the debootstrap and ubuntufs? [17:13] You could have just installed a base gentoo distro [17:13] s0101: wjhere did you get to before it brakes down? [17:13] hi [17:13] whatev: there should be a line after that, usually 0.0.0.0 gateway_ip [17:13] And i get 2 error messages before i configure firestarter for port 5900 it said connection closed after 1 sec anfter i open port it says conec time out [17:13] storbeck, i need to run some routing simulation with quagga === ward_ is now known as Wardje [17:13] in openoffice.org spreadsheet, how do i make a graph like to show a statistic for my project?

[17:14] jtaji there isnt, maybe because it's my laptop connected wirelessly? [17:14] storbeck, thats my actual requirement [17:14] i'm desperate [17:14] whatev: you should have a gateway in that case also [17:14] if I have Dir1 and I do a cp -la Dir1/ Dir2 and then delete a file in Dir1, this file should still exist physically on the hdd , right ? [17:14] bullgard4: you system doesnt detect a wireless device. [17:14] gqcam works [17:14] hermes: this was done using the arch linux wiki and works well for me, you should do your xorg yourslef shouldnt rely on the system to do it for you and back it up http://pastebin.ca/1324599 [17:14] so the problem is with amsn [17:14] i think [17:14] jtaji, ah, then I guess I know nothing about that.

[17:15] I type in the ip which is the same like this computer and press connect after i see my uder name s0101 not sure if it is this comp or the remote but if i press connect it says time out [17:15] jtaji: all right, so rsync -a -delete combined with cp -la commands can make a functional incremental backup system [17:15] jtaji for gateway it just says * [17:15] bullgard4 Madwifi creates wifi0 as a starting point for creating other device files. please look at the output of the command "ifconfig" [17:15] G__81, appears to have all the excuciating details: http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/old/input.html [17:16] ortsvorsteher: Well, in fact my computer detects a wireless device. -- Can you please tell me what a 'wireless extension' is.

I need to know what Kernel Gutsy Gibbons was [18:02] shadowflier: install it ? look in the repo online, run uname -a on a running system [18:02] shadowflier: distrowatch.com could have it in the ubuntu section [18:02] Alsa I think. I'm sorry, I use KDE, but no one answers on kubuntu forum [18:02] ikonia well I cant install it i have a problem with it that is why i am asking [18:02] i want xchat to open when i click on a link that leads to an irc channel, in firefox [18:02] shadowflier: what is the problem ? [18:02] it worked with xchat-gnome [18:02] Wunderbar: check the preferences or log a bug [18:03] I have a ahci sata controler and i cant boot linux on that [18:03] but overall xchat gnome is a pretty poor app, by comparison [18:03] nothing in the preferences === allquixotic_ is now known as allquixotic [18:03] Gnea: Alsa I think. Amarok is playing, system sounds are playing too. I'm sorry, I use KDE, but no one answers on kubuntu forum [18:03] Wunderbar: try #xchat or log a bug [18:03] Hey got a weird one... kde nightly neon isn't detecting all of my drives correctly... any ideas? [18:03] andrew__: what about that tv-howto? did you try following that? or was it too gnome-specific [18:04] does ubuntu swap to file or setup a swap partion by default? [18:04] partition [18:04] zaapiel: it usually sets up a partition [18:05] k [18:05] zaapiel: you set it up at install time [18:05] Gnea: I've googled a lot. But digged no problems like this [18:05] andrew__: i meant the URL that i had ubottu give you [18:05] if i dont make a swap partion will it automatically swap to file? [18:05] no [18:05] I have a dual-boot system with many files burried in /media/Dovcuments and Settings/... Is there a way to alias some dirs? [18:05] it will have no swap space [18:05] zaapiel: not unless you make it manually [18:05] k [18:05] Wunderbar you wont find a setting in xchat to make firefox do that.. it would be a setting in firefox [18:05] zaapiel: and a partition is faster than a file [18:05] Hrm second little question, can I put my icons on the panel to the right side vs the left? [18:05] lorenzosu, dont know if this is correct but you could symlink the files [18:06] according to wikipedia(lol) it isnt [18:06] ORLY? [18:06] zaapiel: well, we're #ubuntu, not #wikipedia [18:06] However, with the 2.6 Linux kernel, swap files are just as fast[8][9] [18:06] zaapiel: show me the link [18:06] Wunderbar, what are you trying to do? [18:06] what is the linux kerner version now ? is it aboce 2.6.19 [18:06] ok, halfway to solving my minor problem [18:06] ikonia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swap_space#Linux [18:06] shadowflier: now in ubuntu or now in linux === paradox is now known as Guest912 [18:07] apparently the 'default' app doesn't work [18:07] ubuntu [18:07] shadowflier 2.6.27 [18:07] so where would i need to go in order to select xchat as irc client?? [18:07] thanks [18:07] Eh, it won't let me join the python channel. Anyone have an idea why? [18:07] aeonoris: #freenode - ask in there [18:07] Wunderbar, what are you trying to do / what is your current problem? [18:07] Gnea: I'll be back after reading that links. Thanks [18:07] aeonoris: you need to register with freenode.net [18:07] K [18:07] Thought I did [18:08] zaapiel: "The factual accuracy of this article or section may be compromised due to out-of-date information." [18:08] Wunderbar I would guess in firefox under edit > preferences > applications but mine currently doesnt have an x chat option =/ [18:08] aeonoris: if you did, identify to nickserv [18:08] Gnea: heh [18:08] thats wikipedia for ya [18:08] does anyone know what mysql is called t the repos [18:08] How? [18:08] weatherkid: mysql-server and mysql for the client [18:08] Gnea: is the standard recommended swap still real memorory * 2? [18:08] ty [18:08] !lamp [18:08] 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+) [18:08] i have a gig of swap and i never touch it it sems [18:08] zaapiel: yes [18:09] thanks nyaa, been there- can't choose xchat as an option without jumping through some hoops, apparentl [18:09] y [18:09] aeonoris: /msg nickserv identify [18:09] .22 [18:09] zaapiel: not really, how much ram do you have and do you want to hibernate? [18:09] i have one gig of ram and dont hibernate [18:09] desktop [18:10] 1 gig of swap seems like plenty [18:10] zaapiel: you should probably lower your swappiness then [18:10] lstarnes, thanks [18:10] if i have to find xchat via the file manager where would i need to go? [18:10] also what is hibernate? [18:10] that like sleep mode? [18:10] zaapiel: I'd probably use 1GB too [18:10] lols [18:10] zaapiel: suspend to disk [18:10] Wunderbar it will be .Hidden under ~ [18:10] zaapiel: which you can do as long as you use swap at least equal to RAM [18:10] root [18:11] goddamit [18:11] Wunderbar: find it? why to start it? just type xchat.. if you need to change something in the configuration file ~/.xchat [18:11] !language [18:11] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[18:12] because im buying one in a week! [18:12] Gnea: he just wants to know how big to make his swap partition === Dackel_ is now known as Dackel [18:13] zaapiel: didn't we just go through this? [18:13] ok, in xchat2 [18:13] lol [18:13] jtaji: 12:06 < zaapiel> Gnea: is the standard recommended swap still real memorory * 2? 12:06 < Gnea> zaapiel: yes [18:13] where is the equivalent of the .exe file? [18:13] pfft [18:13] k [18:14] 6 gigs of swap seems like a crapload [18:14] Wunderbar: file with +x mode... ls -l to see files [18:14] on a 3 gig laptop [18:14] 2 * swap was never good advice, and you're still giving it [18:14] zaapiel: well, I think it scales as the amount of ram gets higher [18:14] I have a dual-boot system with UBUNTU and Windows XP, with many files burried in /media/Dovcuments and Settings/myname/Documents, etc. Is there a way to "alias" some dirs like in the ubuntu hpome dir? [18:14] Wunderbar: to make file executable (if you know it is program) chmod +x program [18:14] zaapiel: i run laptop 3gb ram, 1gb swap. Never had problems with that. When in need, you can always add a swapfile [18:14] zaapiel: and in your case, i would definitely lower the swappiness from 60 to something like 10 or 20! [18:14] I always felt that more than 2gb swap was a waste [18:14] Gnea: zaapiel: true it was more applicable for < 1GB [18:15] oCean_: k [18:15] i'm stuck [18:15] o noes [18:16] running/using apps is a pain when copying files in background..gah. d [18:16] Wunderbar: what's up [18:16] =) [18:16] Wunderbar: try settings > advanced > URL handlers === Fernando is now known as Guest1442 [18:17] Oi galera [18:17] i'm trying to make xchat the default irc client [18:17] preferably in ubuntu [18:17] but in Firefox also [18:18] can someone tell me where that ubuntu pasteboard is? so I can paste long things? [18:18] firefox recognises the default in ubuntu [18:18] Wunderbar I still think you are going about all of this in the wrong way [18:18] !paste | nyaa [18:18] nyaa: 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) [18:18] asda [18:18] Wunderbar: default? [18:18] explain jack [18:18] yes ocean [18:18] Hey guys! I'm having an issue with Firefox. Anytime I go to Weebly.com and try to log in, it automatically downloads a "userHome.php" file. [18:19] Wunderbar I did.. and I need to run and get some things done.. good luck.. hope it works out [18:19] This just started today...not sure why, and because of it, I'm not able to log in, and work on my site [18:19] Any suggestions? [18:19] I am trying to get ssh working. In installed using apt-get install ssh. it installed and everything. said it generated RSA and DSA keys.. [18:19] Wunderbar: what is a default app? To start xchat, I type the command or applications > internet > xchat [18:19] !br > Guest1442 [18:19] what is the defualt hostname for a mysql server? [18:19] Guest1442, please see my private message [18:19] can anyone help me record audio out of my soundcard? [18:20] then when i try to start SSH, it tell me could not load the host rsa and dsa keys. [18:20] thedark: What exactly are you trying to do? [18:20] weatherkid: localhost i guess? [18:20] ok, sometimes when browsing you might come across a link to an irc channel in firefox [18:20] ty oCean [18:20] hello all [18:21] I want to be able to record audio output from my speaker.. record internet radio, dvds I play etec. [18:21] and want it made possible for me to access said link in xchat by simplu clicking the link [18:21] I want to make sound clips for language study [18:21] Wunderbar: ah, ok. [18:21] How do I install debug information for gdb for packages that Ubuntu ships? [18:22] I'm using a machine from 1999, and it's getting to be time to buy a new one. I only run ubuntu. Does anyone have good recommendations for what kind of machine to get? I'd like everything to work nicely without too much hassle [18:22] kittyhawk: Looking to build your own or buy a prefab? [18:22] kittyhawk, depends what you want to do whit the machine [18:22] Wunderbar: So that should be in firefox config, right, not in xchat [18:22] Wunderbar, when i click an irc link it asks me what to do.. i can choose the app i want to open with. [18:23] yes, which is where i am now [18:23] i don't have that luxury deany [18:23] allquixotic: not sure. I'm willing to build my own, but only if I can find some good information on what hardware to pick [18:23] Anyone...? Why when I try to log into weebly, does Firefox just download a "userHome.php" file, and not allow me to log in? [18:23] Vdub: I suspect that the server's handling of php is misconfigured [18:23] kittyhawk: build a computer yourself with a preference for nVidia hardware, works a dream with linux [18:23] kittyhawk: Lots of people will give an opinion on what they think is a good system, but it depends heavily on your budget, your use cases, and your skill level [18:23] it must be set already then in FF.. look in options..applications, [18:24] allquixotic: yeah, I kinda figured that would be the case. [18:24] it's set to always aks [18:24] kittyhawk: There really isn't any true "authoritative" answer on that, but if you want to buy something pre-fab, which comes preinstalled with Ubuntu and it's guaranteed to have full driver support for all hardware, try http://sales.eightvirtues.com/ [18:24] only, it doesn't [18:24] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25372 [18:25] allquixotic: thanks, I'll take a look [18:25] tells me that irc is not a registered protocol [18:25] look at the link.. [18:25] where is mysql located on your computer [18:25] tells you how to. apparently [18:25] kittyhawk: Given a hardware spec for a home build, I can pretty much tell you for sure whether Ubuntu will support it or not; I could also price you out a system (if you live in the US) from components, if you want to home build, but I would need a budget [18:25] thanks deany [18:25] much appreciated [18:25] kittyhawk: but the real question is, what is your budget. [18:26] !ot [18:26] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [18:26] allquixotic: budget is flexible [18:26] weatherkid: client /usr/bin/mysql, server /usr/sbin/mysqld [18:26] I'm willing to spend money if I get something for it [18:26] See my private message, kittyhawk [18:27] Vdub: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/installing-php5-and-apache-on-ubuntu/ ? :) [18:27] Question: when i startup ssh, it get errors saying "could not load host rsa/dsa key" ... how do i fix that [18:30] i looked into my problem more closely and here it is [18:30] I have a dual-boot system with UBUNTU and Windows XP, with many files burried in /media/Dovcuments and Settings/myname/Documents, etc. Is there a way to "alias" some dirs like in the ubuntu hpome dir? === rob is now known as marine1 [18:30] canubuntu boot on haci drivers [18:31] *AHCI [18:31] hello everyone :) [18:32] lorenzosu: I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish?

I have no idea if the sound coming from SAA7134 [18:47] gain on alsa is to great, have to turn master volume down to about 50% then sound quality is back to normal [18:47] GNUtoo: I doubt that's a kernel issue [18:47] Man i need to start video editing on this thing :) and doing many other things like DVD ediditng but i know I'm gonna thrash the system -> SO I hope someone will fire up a defrag program :) or get working on it thanX [18:47] I'm trying to mount the share using this command: sudo mount -t smbfs //209.90.***.***/workspace workspace/ -o username=bmorris,password=mypassword but it just hangs [18:47] GNUtoo: or an ubuntu kernel issue I should say, I'd first of all check the stock kernel versions differences [18:47] GNUtoo: that would be a good place to start [18:48] ikonia, when i assemble and open the hdd on ubuntu and do a hdparm -tT /dev/mapper/root and on gentoo...ubuntu has twice the performance of gentoo...then in gentoo top often report wa(io wait) over 90% [18:48] bmorris_: sudo smbmount \\\\some-pc\\Downloads /media/some-pc -o user=windows_user,pass=windows_pass [18:48] bmorris_: that's what i use, i just changed user and pass for here [18:48] GNUtoo: as I said I'd check the stock kernels differences first === luciferarc is now known as problemoman [18:49] can i downgrade drivers in hardy? [18:49] ikonia, ubuntu is the last one and the gentoo is 2.6.28.2 [18:49] bmorris_: try smbclient to see if the setup/connection is valid [18:49] GNUtoo: ubuntu is the last one what ? [18:50] Anyone seen Lady GaGa pokerface ? I was able to get the sound working in Youtube with the cmedia usb headset with the mozilla but now I need to fire up some mp3's etc.. any ideas where i can snatch up some siple files for testing ? Becasue my audigy main sound system is not being displayed in Alsa player [18:50] windows expect \\ and you need to escape so its \\\\ :) === problemoman is now known as luciferarc [18:50] i guess [18:50] ikonia, ubuntu = 2.6.27.11 [18:51] GNUtoo: so check a stock 2.6.27.11 against a stock 2.6.28.2 === marcos is now known as w525aa [18:51] ikonia, could it be because my system is not labeled? [18:51] GNUtoo: that would be the best starting point [18:51] ikonia, ok thanks [18:51] miha, I get an error saying mount error: improperly formatted UNC name. \209.90.***.***\workspace does not begin with \\ or //No ip address specified and hostname not found [18:51] miha: i dunno what context it is, but you are right. a lot of people get bitten by "\\" when they want to do "\\\\" else it comes out as "\" [18:52] bmorris_: \\\\209.90.*.*\\workspace [18:52] just replace * with a real number, i suppose? [18:52] yes [18:54] Hi, I was here yesterday to solve a monitor resolution problem, it appeared to be solved, but it isn't [18:54] miha, well that's not throwing an error but it looks like it's just hanging.. [18:54] bmorris_: hmm [18:54] what's the default port for samba to go across? [18:54] my pc had this terribly low resolution 800x600 and i needed 1440x900 [18:55] bmorris_: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-22_11-5108461.html something like this for start? [18:55] with an apt-get install nvidia-glx-96 it and ctrl+alt+backspace, i got the resolution [18:55] okay i'll take a look at that. thanks [18:55] привет всем [18:55] Anyone know a Good Video editing program so I can make a promo video for ubuntu ? [18:55] bmorris_: can you connect the other machine through smb at all? Does "smbclient -L " output the available shares? [18:55] english ? [18:56] but today, when i restarted the computer, the old bad resolution was back [18:56] could anyone anyone help me? [18:56] oCean_, no errors but it hangs as well [18:56] Helper are you here i restarted [18:56] on command-line, how can I check to what category a package belongs? [18:56] ceclilia driver ? xorg.conf ? === c40s[Ou7] is now known as c40s [18:57] yes? the xorg-conf file does not have any info [18:57] cecilia: if bad one is just default one, try ctrl-alt+PLUS ctrl-alt-MINUS to test other resolutions [18:57] error404notfound: aptitude show | grep Section [18:57] bmorris_: can you reach/connect the remote machine at all? [18:57] error404notfound: grep ^Section is slightly better actually :p [18:57] oCean_, I can ssh into it and connect to apache [18:58] miha, that doesnt work anymore [18:58] need boot disk to fixmbr does any one know a page that has it [18:58] usser: no? [18:58] cecilia there needs to be a Video Driver set and monitor information for better results ;) if you set somthing and it resets with your current setup is becasue it wanted to default to what it could handle with current no vdeo but emunlation stuff [18:58] after upgrade I have this error "dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:221: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed". I removed and reinstalled all packages manually with dpkg but still exists [18:58] usser: damn i'm old then:) [18:58] miha, nope i think they removed it since hardy [18:58] heh [18:58] does anybody know the flags for mpg123 to start mp3 on hover? [18:58] jtaji: ahan.. and is there a web ui which can show the applications as they are shown in add/remove... I am not talking about synaptic/add-remove web alternate, just package list... [18:59] so... what should i do? [18:59] usser: well i have old iiyama visionmaster 410pro for desktop, it can do 1024x768@100 Hz, but plugnplay resolution is disaster... googled for modlines and set resolutions manually [18:59] bmorris_: ok. Then it's something on the serverside of samba I would say [18:59] you see, at the nvidia drivers, now appears the option nvidia 96, that didn't appear before [18:59] cecilia your running just video emulation right now -> aka a um simple driver for the video card [19:00] Heya...does anyone know if it's possible to use the HDMI port on a GeForce 8600M GT (Dell XPS m1530 vid card) as an input device? [19:00] oCean_, do you know which port samba uses by default? I'm not sure if the ports are forwarded correctly on the router [19:00] cecilia oh ok :) [19:00] usser: now ubuntu resolition says i have refresh rate from 50-65 hz in increment of 2 hz :) [19:00] usser: but picture is great [19:00] cecilia what type of video card do you have ? [19:00] error404notfound: you want the "sections" they are in add/remove? those are actually the menu location that the program will show up in, not sure how to get those programmatically [19:00] i have a geforce 6200 [19:01] miha, running at 100hz never worked for me, my eyes just get tired, i dunno why. 75 hz its perfect though [19:01] bmorris_: isn't it 445? [19:01] jtaji: yup, categorized list of programs.. [19:01] hello [19:01] anyone know how Places > Recent Documents work? [19:01] cecilia look up on google for your video card and xorg.conf and how to set up the nvidia control pannel thing first and get that working and tell it to save it's configuration before editing stuff so you have a backup :) [19:01] sometimes documents show up there--and more often they do not [19:02] error404notfound: yeah I dunno, add/remove is a special interface that just shows GUI programs, all other apt interfaces deal with all packages [19:02] hmm that might be it.. I don't think that's forwarded right now [19:02] oCean_, do you know how to change the default port? [19:02] who wanna chat [19:02] usser: yah, 85 hz is great. i noticed though with age, picture shrinks horizontally, but with some settings it is still good enough [19:02] bm me lol [19:02] i'm sorry, i'm very newbie at all this stuff... how can i configure this? it seems the new driver is not activated [19:02] bm, are you asking for an a/s/l? [19:02] jtaji: I googled and fined appnr, but that includes the install part as well.. [19:03] I am trying to install kde4 on Intrepid and I can't get it to work... apt-get install -s kubuntu-kde4-desktop reports broken packages [19:03] bmorris_: on windows? Sorry... haven't been there for ages. But I think google knows [19:03] Can anyone help me get my Moto Q working [19:03] cecilia k let me find that thing i followed [19:03] it's actually in ubuntu 8.10 [19:03] ok [19:03] I'm able to copy songs to a USB mp3 player I have (with Rhythmbox), but not delete them -- strange... Has anyone else experienced this? (solutions??) [19:03] you see, i use the intrepid [19:03] if this info is useful [19:03] <_VIM_> bm: chat in #Ubuntu-offtopic [19:03] cecilia k coool [19:04] how can I bypass the password length requirements in ubuntu server? I want to change my password to be only 3 chars... [19:05] quentin, my mp3 player acts like a hard drive [19:05] baz: do it like xyzxyzxyzxyz [19:05] I guess that would be a negative on the Recent Documents question... [19:05] cecilia check the private chat thing i jsut fired up k [19:05] ok [19:06] which distribution should I choose? I have a low-end laptop and am a programmer at university [19:06] binarymutant, ok. but my moto Q doesnt show up when I plug it in via USB [19:06] I have tried the zegenie quiz and it has not really asked enough questions to make an informed decision [19:07] daedra: how low end? [19:07] quentin, pastebin dmesg and I'll see what's up [19:07] daedra: xubuntu? [19:07] <_VIM_> daedra: i was going to suggest xubuntu as well [19:07] quentin, wait, unplug and plug it back in and then do dmesg [19:07] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v615/DWinter/ChrisHanson.png [19:07] I am trying to install kde4 on Intrepid and I can't get it to work... apt-get install -s kubuntu-kde4-desktop reports broken packages anyone got a clue? [19:07] miha: it has 1GB of ram, a AMD Turion 64-bit MK2 [19:07] that's low end? [19:08] miha: well for applications like eclipse it is [19:08] it runs slowly on windows! [19:08] hi [19:09] there is a way to recovery a password from gnome key ring? [19:09] miha: so still xubuntu? [19:09] <_VIM_> But i have this fear of suggesting Xubuntu anymore, last time I did that some jerk chewed me out saying his hardware wasn't 'bad' enough for XUbuntu and he got all defensive about his precious hardware heh :/ [19:09] daedra: pentium m 1.5 worked with gnome just fine [19:09] for me [19:09] _VIM_: don't worry ;) [19:09] daedra: for netbeans 6.1 [19:10] then motherboard died:) [19:10] daedra, try lxde [19:10] _VIM_: I get quite precious about my resource management - I do _not_ want the gui or the idle OS processes eating up cycles [19:10] usser: lxde?

[19:11] usser: I have used all sorts of GUIs, but after a year of using xmonad/awesome (tiling window managers) I have been distracted from getting things done [19:11] i wasn't sure if they'd work with hardware acceleration or not. [19:12] jdolan, hm not sure about that, though it has no trouble recording compiz sessions [19:12] danbhfive: Well I am running nightly neon and its slightly unstable but not bad [19:12] usser: so I do want some kind of comprehensive GUI [19:12] usser, that's encouraging. i'll try it. === vesicz is now known as jagodica [19:12] I think, looking at xubuntu, that it is the one [19:12] cao narode [19:13] daedra, well its a desktop environment, its integrated, has a text editor, panel, terminal, file manager etc [19:13] hi people sorry for serbian language [19:13] daedra, http://lxde.org/image_galleries/screenshots [19:13] anyone else have a problem with nvidia dvi output?

[19:16] daedra, i'd suggest getting ubuntu netinstall image, its going to install only minimal set of packages all updated, so you wont have to download updates after you're done [19:16] psicobra, which ones? [19:16] psilocybin, ask away, if someone can help they will [19:16] can someone remind me what the Wine chat room is? #wine?

He tried the repo and also the .run from NVidia. [19:19] did he resolve it? [19:19] daedra, yea lxde would do, if thats a laptop with wifi you'll probably want NetworkManager though [19:19] m [19:19] psilocybin: the guy said the driver failed to install even he tried to compile it but failed.. NO [19:19] i was able to make...just not make install [19:19] does irc have a virtualbox channel [19:19] daedra, how long did it take to compile stuff on that box i wonder [19:19] Thanks for the help off to do some running [19:19] is there anyone who can tell me how to set up 2 webservers behind a firewall both using port 80, using something like 1.server.org, 2.server.org??

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+) [19:35] baz: moment.. think it's in the options [19:35] kouya, "wget" means it goes out to the internet and downloads a file >> "&&" means to do another command after the first command >> "sh" means to run a shell script (a set of command lines lumped together in one file, like a .bat) [19:35] cause the driver deletes itself every so often [19:35] hi hi !! [19:35] thanks [19:35] :) [19:35] kouya, so basically its downloading a shell script then running it - to install winetricks, a program [19:35] psilocybin, that's really weird, every reboot? or just random? [19:35] randomly [19:36] psilocybin, sorry :/ [19:36] your !LAMP site says it is no longer supported [19:36] baz: it should be: usermod -d /home/newdir -m currentusername. [19:36] no problem thanks for the help binary [19:36] kouya: winetricks - The Official Wine Wiki [19:36] how do i remove this afte ive used? is it possible? [19:36] helllo everbody [19:36] nice thank you [19:36] oCean_, with the sudo right? [19:36] baz: the -m is the actual move from current to new directory. Manpages are extremely useful :-) [19:36] baz: sure [19:36] <_VIM_> weatherkid: well you could just install Ubuntu Server Edition, it has a really easy Apache setup, then just stick a lightweight window manger on it like Icewm... [19:37] does anyone has an idea if it is possible to run a program that is using kde on my server that only uses command line with my local kubuntu ? [19:37] Ketrel, maybe you can find better help in #samba [19:37] how to have yahoo messenger please in ubntu? [19:37] kouya: it just grabs a small shell script --- but the only way to "get rid" of it is to remove wine- [19:37] crunchbang, pidgin [19:37] ok understand [19:38] oCean_, that worked thank you... I find man pages extremely difficult to use... i've been reading them for an hour before talking to u [19:38] pidgin using right now but no voice [19:38] kouya: if you use wine it also has other handy tweaks-- all explained at www.winehq.org [19:38] baz: I can imagine. That's why I don't like to refer to it too quickly. One has to learn to use them, after that... they're a blessing [19:38] binary please help [19:39] <_VIM_> hehe baz reading man pages is like reading an entire phone book , just to look up one number. [19:39] kouya: also on that page refer to the appdb to help get your windows programs to run under wine. [19:39] crunchbang, kopete? === tmi is now known as ChronosZA [19:39] Hi Pensacola!

[20:31] GNUtoo: you could well be right about the kernel, but I just can't see it myself, more so after you've tested two stock kernels [20:31] bastones: what is your screen resolution set to [20:32] ikonia, ok...I'll try the kernel after the relabel and after that I'll try the userspace...but I've done a test: [20:32] azharcs: oh, well, see u later guys! [20:32] exodus_ms in Monitor Res. Settings it says 1024 x 768 (4:3) [20:32] GNUtoo: maybe worth trying the kernel as you suggest, I just don't see it myself personally [20:32] GNUtoo: that doesn't mean I'm right [20:33] ikonia, gentoo's kernel with ubuntu's rootfs: 36.64 MB/s [20:33] olrrai : Same here, it was nice talking to u.

[20:55] RenatoSilva, then you created a passwd for it [20:55] Guest46613 that is not a problem I care to tackle, deal with your windows backup yourself.. [20:55] binarymutant: sorry my dear but I have never created any root accout in my life.

[20:58] Jack_Sparrow, the problem started in linux when using gparted to use the remaining hardrive space because i was running out of room on my linux side and it was here that somene told me to change my windows(ext3) to a nfts and you should e able to merge the unallocated partion into the linux ext3 [20:58] oh there we go [20:58] RenatoSilva, you can do sudo passwd to create the account then log into it and it will create the trash [20:58] ubottu, Thanks!!! [20:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about Thanks!!! [20:58] binarymutant: it's because it's a gnome stuff right? [20:59] Guest46613: ooh you've made a real mess [20:59] RenatoSilva, it's because you've never logged into root [20:59] binarymutant: not a good idea [20:59] Cpudan80, yeah by listening to real experts here [20:59] root doesnt have it because there is no root unless you create it and log into it ==> actually, it's because trash is a gnome feature, and will be created only if you log in in GNOME as root, which is disabled by default [20:59] Cpudan80, what? <-- not asking for support [21:00] Cpudan80, now noody knows how to fix the problem after my windows part gets wipped out [21:00] but the root is there [21:00] binarymutant: not a good idea to advise sudo passwd [21:00] teaguy, where i that in gnome?

[21:01] Cpudan80, well I wasn't advising but I personally think it's okay [21:01] Cpudan80, ecause i installed linux thru windows [21:01] Cpudan80: pint me an article on that, Ive disable root password but don't remember exactly why (I just know it's better) [21:01] it's been a while since i used kde [21:01] RenatoSilva, /root is always there [21:01] Guest46613: In wubi ?

I think. Because I got a message saying "screen isnt compozited" or something. But now it is. *shrug* Well, if that's the problem, I guess I know how to fix it :/ thanks x-D [21:03] ari_stre1s: there's a link on teh page before the java applet even finishes loading [21:03] <_VIM_> Guest46613: well that is not concidered "through windows" [21:03] Cpudan80, I deleted a 3 GB file but didnt get the disk space [21:03] RenatoSilva, sure [21:03] Prabz: did you delete it or move it to the trash?

[21:32] Guest46613, sorry, I saw I misread another 'Guest'. [21:32] Brando753, just a suggestion, there might be another way [21:32] lol [21:32] Brando753 - boot a live cd, use gparted and see if you can expand the partition [21:32] Guest46613: "sbackup" does not seem to be optimal for backing up to cd [21:32] how would i reformat or fix it? [21:32] would i run a linux live cd? [21:33] or gpartd live cd [21:33] Guest46613: in add/remove apps, if you search for "backup" and look throu the results [21:33] ? [21:33] any live cd with gparted [21:33] Is there a 'software building' expert here I can ask a question to?

I've decided to build a custom kernel (via_pata is buggy for me) and here's my question.. and I think I already know the answer.. if I disable the libata stuff, and use the older (but WORKING) ATAPI/IDE stuff, my hard drives will be renamed back to /dev/hda,b,c,d etc correct? [21:33] hi [21:33] Brando753, do you have 25 gigs of files? [21:34] no it says my max drive space is 15 gb and i have 6 gb free [21:34] well Brando753 - unless your files are tight, i dont think they could get 'loose', but by expanding the partition, you won't _lose_ any files ;) [21:34] i did have a wubi install just like that but this install is to a real partition [21:34] zash, i found about 6 different ones [21:34] everytime I shall edit a textfile from terminal I get this error: Error reading /home/user/.nano_history: Permission denied Press Enter to continue starting nano.

[21:51] lorenzou: see man link [21:51] dean: guess so [21:51] lorenzou: sorry man ln [21:51] lorenzosu - do you want it mounted to two different folders at the same time? [21:51] KyleK: yes that is from kubuntu 4 to 4.2 [21:51] lorenzosu-> you can remount a partition thats already mounted [21:51] and what do you have? [21:52] because kubuntu is just ubuntu with kde as default desktop [21:52] dean: guess so1 [21:52] lorunzsou: OK then do ln -s target link_name [21:52] dean: k thanks [21:52] do apt-get install kde-desktop on a ubuntu machine and then it doesn't matter :D [21:53] Pyles17, put the wacom driver into xorg [21:53] Hey guys, I switched to ubuntu about a year ago and have been very happy. However, the other day I had to format and reinstall windows and this deleted the Grub bootloader. I am currently running a live cd of 8.10 and trying to follow a tutorial to reinstall grub on my windows partition hd0,0.. However, when i type setup (hd0) in terminal after writing sudo grub then root (hd0,0(, i get an errro that says Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition. how can [21:53] i fix this . Thanks === IVBela1 is now known as IVBela [21:53] why, why [21:54] I know but I want to make sure I have the right source. I was using Kubuntu with KDE4 but when I installed the update too 4.2 X got hosed somehow. [21:54] binarymutant: can you explain? I've tried the tutorials and just ended up killing the x server [21:54] hello [21:54] helpme2: partition numbers are arbitrary, are you sure you're not following docs that assume like (hd0,0) when you put it to be (hd0,1) or something else? [21:54] Then I could not get kubuntu to install. So I installed ubuntu. [21:54] Pyles17, here's an example from my tablet http://paste.ubuntu.com/112591/ [21:54] I just upgraded 8.04 to 8.10, and now my nvidia card/drivers are not working. Any thing special I have to do? [21:54] I would like to run both KDE 4.2 and Gnome. [21:55] KNOME [21:55] kylek hd0,0 is the partition where windows is installed , and where i assume the bootloader should go. hd0 is my master drive, im desperate [21:55] lol [21:55] helpme2: so now when you try to boot you always go to windows [21:55] helpme2: [21:55] dean, yes, that is correct [21:55] Pyles17, dont copy anything but the wacom stuff or else you'll risk not being able to get back into X, oh ya and backup [21:55] lrentz: there's nothing stopping you from running kde-programs under gnome and gnome-programs under kde [21:55] helpme2: you want the linux partition with the linuxy stuff actually [21:55] However I have always prefered KDE to Gnome [21:56] binarymutant: thanks [21:56] dean though i installed acronis os selector but it does not let me boot into linux, i mean, i can see the grub loader, but when i select 8.10 it says it cant mound the partition [21:56] hi! anyone uses the new catalyst 9.1 with a 2.6.28 kernel? [21:57] Can anyone tell me how to have surround sound in Ubuntu? I have a realtek built-in audio (laptop) that has 4 jacks (one is digital audio). Under windows, the driver detects when I plug jacks in and asks me what each jack is. How can I make this work in Ubuntu? [21:57] helpme2: try root (hd0,1) or whatever the linux partition is, the grub boot loader needs to be attached to the partition with what it wants [21:57] ciao [21:57] <^cheeky> yow|laptop, thank you [21:57] helpme2: install grub to the Linux drive, then use the bios boot menu to select OS [21:58] np ^cheeky === Fizban is now known as Steelflint [21:58] dean and kylek thanks for your help, i just installed grub on the linux partition and will now reboot to see what happens. however the linux partition is on hd1, so i dont know what will happen, brb.

[22:04] gn8 [22:05] pinnign kernels [22:05] pinning [22:05] ?? [22:05] yeah need to pin my kernel at 2.6.27-9 [22:06] upgrading to 8.10 from 8.4 on reboot got warning during build of driver modules kernel version in version.h does not match currently running kernel thing seems hung. what should I do [22:06] thought dkms handled it all [22:07] prefer to do a fresh install myself, but each to their own I guess [22:08] andriuss [22:08] i`ll never upgrade any OS... ever [22:08] just aint worth the bs [22:09] there`s always some bs.. [22:09] Right on Deany, and Windaz in-place upgrades are the worst! [22:09] one more time, anyone know how to pin a kernel with ubuntu? [22:10] Azazel-AZ-NB, try synaptic [22:10] you can mark something as not worthy of upgrade [22:10] Azazel-AZ-NB: what do you mean by "pinning"? [22:10] Is there any difference between the bind9 service on Ubuntu and named service on Fedora? [22:10] Synaptic wants to upgrade the kernel. I modified /etc/apt/preferences but synaptic still wants to upgrade [22:10] Currently on a fresh install on 8.10 off the CD, smooth as silk :) [22:10] pin, prevent synapic/apt from upgrading package [22:10] no, the synaptic package manager [22:11] mib_1ov9udf7, should be the same, but I havent used fedora in awhile === rob is now known as marine1 [22:11] Package: linux* [22:11] Pin: release v=2.6.27-9* [22:11] Pin-Priority: 1001 [22:11] not working :( [22:11] Azazel-AZ-NB: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:11] binarymutant: Is it just renamed in Fedora? [22:12] "package - Lock version" [22:12] mib_1ov9udf7, have you ran the named service from the terminal or configured it? [22:12] wonder if Fedora is worth onstalling now? [22:12] can anyone recommend a good note-taking software? like windows journal or onenote in window [22:12] mib_1ov9udf7: you would have to ask the fedora-people about that [22:12] installing even [22:12] Pyles17, I like tomboy :) [22:12] Azazel-AZ-NB, synaptic package manager and "package - Lock" [22:13] binarymutant, I'll give it a try, thanks [22:13] True, but would I get an honest answer? :) [22:13] binarymutant: I have run named on Fedora from the terminal. I'm just wondering if the bind9 service in Ubuntu is the same thing (just with a different name.) [22:13] mib_1ov9udf7, pretty sure it's the same, but only 90% sure [22:13] looking thanks [22:13] !ot | dan__ [22:13] dan__: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [22:13] I am more of an apt-get guy, been doing this too bloody long [22:13] mib_1ov9udf7: there is only one named [22:13] mib_1ov9udf7, it was called named in the terminal in fedora? [22:14] binarymutant: Yes. To start it, I would type "/sbin/service named start" [22:14] mib_1ov9udf7, now I'm only 50% sure :/ srry [22:14] Can anyone help me fix surround sound on Ubuntu with my Realtek ALC883 audio card with jack sensing? [22:14] Azazel-AZ-NB, so am i, but you need to use that GUI to do what you want.. apt-get will still work [22:14] great synaptic crashed and won't reload now after I selected lock pacage [22:14] lol [22:15] adaptr: bind9 in Ubuntu = named? [22:15] E: Invalid record in the preferences file, no Package header [22:15] what does whinning do for those that whine/ [22:15] and it dies [22:15] mib_1ov9udf7: BIND *ANYWHERE* runs as the "named" executable - NAME Daemon [22:15] hey I was right :P [22:15] Oh right yeah sorry I'm OT (and I never paid for any auditing) :) [22:15] hi guys. with new short xorg.conf, how do I set up hotkeys without the keyboard section there? [22:15] now synaptic is completely broken [22:16] adaptr: Now I'm totally confuseed. I have to type "/sbin/service bind9 start" to get it to run in Ubuntu. It says unknown service for "named" [22:16] how do I get into synaptic now? [22:16] mib_1ov9udf7: /sbin/bind9 start [22:16] mib_1ov9udf7-> is there an entry in /etc/init.d/ ? [22:16] mib_1ov9udf7: and ? [22:17] Hello. I'm wondering how I might get a usb mouse from Toshiba to work. [22:17] ugh rm /etc/apt/preferences got me in [22:17] hi dudes [22:17] bind9 is for servers? or clients? [22:17] Azazel-AZ-NB: did you keep a copy of your "old" preferences file? [22:17] adaptr: Are you saying that after I type "/sbin/service bind9 start" the PROCESS will show as "named"? [22:18] it was blank to begin with [22:18] Azazel-AZ-NB: you could have mv instead of rm the file. Intentionally misplace it. [22:18] toxicosmos Hey [22:18] !bind9 [22:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about bind9 [22:18] mib_1ov9udf7: I said that the BIND nameserver will run the executable named, whichever system you run it on [22:18] !imac [22:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about imac [22:18] !mac [22:18] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [22:18] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto found it heh [22:18] alias rm='mv --target-directory ~/.local/share/Trash/files' :) [22:19] n8tuser: Not sure. I never created one on Fedora, so I issumed the installer does it. [22:19] please? How do I set up layout change without the respective section in xorg.conf? [22:19] nice thing to add to .bashrc [22:19] dean, kylek, IM back, i installed GRUB and grub loaded up after a bit of trouble, however after selecting any of the ubuntu 8.10 or 7.10 options i got error 17 cannot mount selected partition. What could be the problem? [22:19] I'm trying to run dual monitors w/ ATI's BigDesktop, ive used aticonfig to generate my xorg.conf including resolution , but im still getting stuck @ a low res.. [22:20] hyperspace: corrupted file system? [22:20] now synaptic say package linux is locked [22:20] Hey guys. I need some help getting samba to work -- can anyone spare a minute or two? [22:20] adaptr: OK. The BIND nameserver will run the named executable. I guess I don't know the difference between the two. [22:20] uncmar: hmm i dont think.. the dual monitors are working, but its just @ a low res [22:20] ugh and update manager still wants to update it [22:20] mib_1ov9udf7: that's entirely possible [22:21] helpme2: something is up with the boot options? try editing the command line for one and change the boot device, grub has tab completion which makes that doable [22:21] adaptr: I thought the named executable WAS the BIND nameserver. That's not correct? [22:22] mib_1ov9udf7: usually is [22:22] mib_1ov9udf7: it is, if you look at it that way [22:22] anyone here get joymouse working? [22:22] hi, i'm trying to boot intrepid from a loop device, using root=/dev/loop0 (or root=700) boot parameter, and a little initrd script that mount the device containing the image, and then "losetup /dev/loop0 /path-to-the-image"... but it stops at "nuking the initramfs contents: directory not empty" and then kernel panic... can anybody help me? [22:22] adaptr: OK. So what's this bind9 thing I find in Ubuntu? [22:22] mib_1ov9udf7: what does it *look* like ? [22:22] kylek IM sorry but i did not understand anything you said. could you please explain with a bit more detail? thanks [22:22] hyperspace: are you sure that both monitors support the res you selected? [22:22] uncmar: yea they are the same [22:22] adaptr: It looks like the BIND nameserver, but it's not named. [22:22] mib_1ov9udf7: bind9 package contains /usr/sbin/named [22:22] uncmar: 1680x1050 on each [22:23] yes? [22:23] anyone know if there is a package i need to install for docky? [22:23] is there a package i need to install to get tab completion for commands like apt-get, i can't tab complete 'install' or 'dist-upgrade' can anyone please advise [22:23] mib_1ov9udf7: you are confusing two unrelated things [22:23] ActionParsnip1: it should be included: sudo apt-get install bash-completion [22:23] Good afternoon everybody. I was wondering if anyone in here was able to make the most recent version of UBUNTU work with Eclipse with a PHP plug in. I keep getting errors on everything when I try to open files in eclipse and I haven't done anything except install everything [22:23] mib_1ov9udf7: does this help? The program 'named' is currently not installed. To run 'named' please ask your administrator to install the package 'bind9' === JackWinter_ is now known as JackWinter [22:23] zmanning_: theres alltray which will put any app, except terminal apps, in the system tray [22:24] ever seen a chevy with the butterfly doors?

[22:24] savvas: after the first command, tab completion simply refuses [22:24] helpme2: I mean grub has in its configuration where to find the kernel and what to use as the root partition, one of those is probably wrong, but you can edit the commands before you select an option [22:25] sbin service? [22:25] !ndiswrapper | maxride [22:25] maxride: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:25] ActionParsnip1: sudo dpkg-reconfigure bash-completion [22:25] ActionParsnipl, I'll check it out...but I think theres an actual problem. [22:26] mib_1ov9udf7: oic they changed that, probably to be less confusing to new people === maxride is now known as MaxRide\\RTFM [22:26] ActionParsnip1: then open a new terminal and try again [22:26] KyleK: Yes. In Fedora, I would type "/sbin/service named start" to start the BIND nameserver. That didn't work in Ubuntu but "/sbin/service bind9 start" seems to have worked. [22:26] hey, is it possible to set up a hostname based off a kernel param? im after creating a base install, and cloning it, and want to make it easier on myself to set up the new host [22:26] odd in ubuntu i dont have /sbin/service [22:26] /etc/init.d/named start is what im used to [22:27] savvas: no go but most of the system is sorted so its no biggy [22:27] KyleK: apt-get install debian-helper-scripts [22:27] KyleK: What's the difference? [22:27] also if i have a program running, and i connect via ssh with x forwarding, is there a way to capture the running program to the remote system without having to kill / rerun the program??

[22:28] savvas: thanks loads :) [22:29] KyleK: I just found it. /sbin/service runs scripts in the directory you mentioned. You said that you found something saying that someone changed named to bind9? Who was that--Ubuntu? Debian? [22:29] ActionParsnip1: well basically, you have to remove .bashrc to get the default settings, your .bashrc may be old or not updated (but do keep a back up just in case) [22:30] savvas: its mainly headless but bash completion is useful for ssh [22:30] Has 8.04 gotten more "stable" since its release? [22:30] ActionParsnip1: in short: mv $HOME/.bashrc $HOME/.bashrc.backup then logout and log back in [22:30] ActionParsnip1: I know, great feature on ubuntu :) [22:30] savvas: its working now so no worries [22:30] nice :) [22:31] savvas: just the x forwarding question now :) [22:31] battery died.

I'm relatively new to Ubuntu, can anyone help me figure out whether it's actually seeing the device? [22:47] dan__ its just a modified intrepid kernel i guess. the hibernation hack required it [22:47] <`Matir> __Ali__, I'd try checking the logs on reboot... my guess is something hardware-wise is not reinitialized properly after the first suspend [22:48] The device is plugging in via USB by the way [22:48] there is a eee specific distro as well, however, i didnt know about it when i installed on my lappy [22:48] <__Ali__> macd, you wanna what? u downloaded movies illegally? agan?

I have tried looking for a firewall setting, but to no avail. Running Ubuntu 8.10. Can post smb.conf if needed [22:50] erpo: however, you still need your ISP to allocate you an IPv6 address (or a block of addresses :)) [22:50] Chousuke: I want to be able to ssh into my server using IPv6, so I'll need an address with global scope.

[22:51] Chousuke: So the question becomes: which tunnel broker uses the client-side software that's easiest to set up on Ubuntu 8.04? [22:51] has anyone installed ubuntu on one of those? [22:51] I can see in my logs that the USB device is being connected using echi_hcd and address 8 [22:51] Chousuke: I think they just don't do that. [22:51] storbeck: There's no package... only source [22:51] but how the hell do I actually test it [22:51] to make sure it's working properly??? [22:51] erpo: hmm, that I don't know :/ [22:51] dan__ http://www.liliputing.com/2009/01/easy-peasy-ubuntu-based-linux-distro-for-eee-pc-now-available.html [22:52] <_VIM_> !enter | Sal__ [22:52] Sal__: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [22:52] erpo: search the repos for ipv6 stuff? maybe you'll find a hint [22:52] Arenlor: try sudo apt-get install libjpeg62-dev [22:52] Fiftyone: yeah just looking up that on the web too: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC [22:52] VIM, it'd be nice if i could get some help :l [22:52] trying to run amdcccle with sudo and i throws some errors : http://paste.pocoo.org/show/102362/ its weird becouse my xorg.conf is execly: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/102363/ [22:52] any ideas ? [22:53] lstarnes: thanks [22:53] I'm planning on buying a white macbook with geforce 9400m video. Has anyone installed Intrepid on one of those? [22:54] Fiftyone: very interesting anyway, haven't got one myself, put looks ideal for Linux. [22:54] Sal__: it would be easier to help if I knew the answer to your problem. My understanding is such that you can already see the device using lsusb. But you want to actually use/test the device. [22:54] <_VIM_> Sal__: what are you trying to do exactly, mount a usb device? [22:54] <_VIM_> !details [22:54] 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 ..." [22:54] _VIM_: somthing about a USB TV card thingy. [22:54] dan__ you have any idea why my graphics freak out when i use wine? i don't know if its a wine thing or an ubuntu thing or an eeepc thing. curious if anyone had this problem before. [22:54] VIM, I have a USB device connect (EyeTV 250 Plus) basically it converts analog video through the box to USB to send to the computer [22:54] I'm trying to actually see if it's working on Ubuntu [22:55] eee's are great, great hardware and super affordable [22:55] I can see that Ubuntu actually recognizes the device, but I have no way to test it [22:55] <_VIM_> !tv [22:55] http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Me-TV (GNOME), Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out === lance_ is now known as Guest3917 [22:55] <_VIM_> best i can do sorry :( [22:55] <_VIM_> lol [22:55] I attempt to use: apt-get install motion, but the package is not found [22:55] Try MythTV [22:56] =( [22:56] is there built in software that would detect any video devices connect to the computer and show you a media object with the stream of those device/s? [22:56] Fiftyone: sorry don't know much about Wine, have found it hit and miss though. [22:56] so my wife is in love with this game called luxor3 you shoot these little balls or something, anyhow, when i bought my lappy i was just gonna wipe windoze off and save my hd space but my wife insists that i keep windows for this game. when i run it under wine it freaks out on me my graphics go crazy. [22:57] <_VIM_> fiftyone: use VirtualBox [22:57] <_VIM_> !Virtualbox [22:57] 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 [22:57] _vim_ yea cool? [22:57] fiftyone: Check out cedega [22:57] <_VIM_> wow that factoid was totally useless.... [22:57] She'll like Diamind Mine then (aka Gweled in Linux) it's in Add/Remove Apps. its so simple but so addictive! [22:58] <_VIM_> fiftyone: Virtualbox lets you use windows IN Ubuntu [22:58] howdy :) I've got an acer aspire laptop and plugging the USB mouse in registers it in dmesg and creates /dev/input/mouse4 as it should... but the cursor doesn't move with it. cat of /dev/input/mice or /dev/input/mouse4 gives no output (it gives output when moving the built in trackpad) [22:58] <_VIM_> fiftyone: assuming you have a windows cd or iso file [22:58] Can anyone suggest what might be wrong or what other info I should look at? [22:58] ahh i see its like vmware [22:58] <_VIM_> fiftyone: exactly [22:59] how do I tell which video chipset I have on mobo? [22:59] VB doesn't can't use DirectX [22:59] hi, anyone familiar with ntfsclone errors? [22:59] <_VIM_> and with Vbox's "Seamless Mode' it's just like being in windows full screen [22:59] _VIM_ naw man i dont really need all that it's just one 50mb game im trying to run. that the point i dont keep windose for anything but this 50mb game [22:59] fiftyone: maybe ask on the wine forums [22:59] <_VIM_> Cedega then [23:00] yea [23:00] _VIM_: Unless you're using compiz, in which case seamless mode breaks horribly. [23:00] Cedega should work [23:00] naw im not useing compiz [23:00] <_VIM_> erpo: true [23:00] bonez46, lspci gives you a whole bunch of info, including some of the chipset info [23:00] VIM: don't wanna poop the party but won't a virtual machine run very slowly on a netbook? === obsethryl_ is now known as obsethryl [23:00] I'm not sure my wine is working properly [23:01] maybe I should open another bottle [23:01] Anyone familiar with ntfsclone errors? I get "ERROR(22): restore_image: lseek: Invalid argument", help please. [23:01] gordonjcp, are you getting drunk? [23:01] ah. [23:01] <_VIM_> dan__: I run vbox with 256 ram [23:01] dan__ not to mention that this 50mb gaame is the only reason windose is on my machine [23:01] how can i define a new icon for all .docx files? [23:01] GnomeKing: not very, no, but then I wouldn't expect to be after three glasses of wine [23:01] fp2099, nope.. i use clonezilla tho, it uses ntfsclone to do my windows drive.. [23:01] GnomeKing: ok, I ran lspci.. I need this info to set up my video? [23:01] bardyr, on what DE? [23:01] fp2099, gnome [23:02] what is Cedega? another vm? or another like wine? [23:02] VIM: well great if it works it works :) [23:02] bonez46, oh... then you asked the wrong question :) [23:02] fiftyone, wine optimized for games [23:02] fiftyone, its the wine they want you to have, if you paid for it [23:02] ahhh ok [23:02] Cedega only works with certain vid cards though [23:03] bonez46, oh, no you didn't [23:03] fiftyone, if you use ATI, latest drivers apparently have some boost in speed with WINE games [23:03] bonez46, prolly one of the first set will be a "VGA compatible" something or other - that is your graphics chipset. [23:03] how can i define a new icon for all .docx files in gnome/nautilus? [23:03] im just the messenger tho [23:03] bonez46, you may need to know that for the video [23:03] i think my eee is nvedia [23:03] have anyone a problem like that with amdcccle [23:03] In the NVIDA driver settings I'm getting , Fail to query the GLX server vendor . [23:03] ? [23:04] I'm having trouble accounting for 190GBs...how do I find the files? [23:04] spinachhead how do i tweak my NVIDA settings? [23:04] imaginativeone: du = disk usage [23:04] is there some sort of memory viewer? [23:04] thanks uncmar!! [23:04] anyone use hellanzb here? [23:05] is there a guide to get rid of the NVIDIA drivers and then reinstall? I think because I tried the manual way from NVIDIA and then used glx it is not working.... [23:05] imaginativeone, baobab is a nice graphical disk space usage display; it shows up in the accessories menu as disk usage analyzer [23:05] imaginativeone: just to head off your next questions, you want "du -h" for values in sensible units, and "--max-depth=" to only show a certain number of levels of directory [23:05] nickrud: thanks! [23:05] imaginativeone: so typically you'd say "du -h --max-depth=1" and find the directory that says it has 185G in it [23:06] gordonjcp: thanks [23:06] I like using: du -hc * | sort -nr [23:06] gordonjcp, or just du -h * ;) [23:06] sorry - du -sh * [23:07] <_VIM_> my Directories always get reported as 4K when there's really a lot more than that [23:07] if netbook has oddles of ram, it should be awfully fast [23:07] !wifi [23:07] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:07] _VIM_, the 4k is the size of the directory, not its contents [23:07] bardyr, it depends on theme, I'm trying to find a solution withing gconf, why don't u just change the theme icon? [23:07] Anyone familiar with ntfsclone errors? I get "ERROR(22): restore_image: lseek: Invalid argument", help please. [23:08] im sorry im so rubbish [23:08] fp2099, how can i do that? [23:08] <_VIM_> GnomeKing: it be nicw to see the real size [23:08] <_VIM_> nice* [23:08] mexitalian, its ok - we'll forgive you. [23:08] can anyone tell me how i find out the terminal name for an external hdd [23:08] I'm only getting stereo over spdif with "speaker-test -c 6", can anyone help me get 5.1? I'm using alsa 1.0.19. [23:08] it was [23:08] anyone have any suggestions for a good news reader that supports NZB? I tried hellanzb but i cant seem to get it to work.... [23:08] sdb1 [23:08] _VIM_, du -sh * will give you the size of all the contents as well. [23:08] now it doesn't find it [23:08] <_VIM_> ah thanks! GnomeKing [23:09] mexitalian, unplug it, then plug it in and do dmesg - it will tell you near the end what it was mapped as [23:09] Chousuke: I'm sorry sir, but Qwest does not offer IPv6 service. [23:09] I'm running Ubuntu as host with Vector Linux as guest in Virtualbox. Ever since I started up VirtualBox, I see the HD flickering often on my ultraportable. Think virtualization is wise with SSD? [23:09] erpo: :( [23:09] GnomeKing: i shall try it [23:09] Chousuke: Incidentally, where do you live that you think you might be able to get IPv6 service from an ISP? [23:09] erpo: Finland. [23:09] Chousuke: Cool! [23:09] erpo, I'm in the UK and a smaller ISP I was with offered IPv6 2 years ago ;) [23:10] The US is such a backwater when it comes to Internet access. [23:10] Oh well. At least I don't live in Australia. [23:10] I don't think my ISP offers it (student connection), but there are some small ISPs that do; and probably the bigger ones too if you ask enough :P [23:10] uk doesnt even know what internet is.. im uk.. and we *BOAST* 50meg [23:10] erpo: I'm with Virgin Media, if you get their Indian call centre you get someone with a slight Indian accent who knows what they're doing, and if you get their UK call centre in the south side of Glasgow you get someone with a really strong Indian accent who hasn't a clue [23:10] anyone is familiar with dualhead on ubuntu ? [23:11] deany: 50 Mbps would be a nice connection. [23:11] CrOOgie, I've used it [23:11] third world countries get faster :) [23:11] CrOOgie: which vid card? [23:11] can I run daemon scripts without root access? [23:11] deany: connections of that caliber are rare here :/ [23:12] dobblego, in theory, sure - but most of them try to do priveledged things like listen on ports <1024, which you cannot do without root. [23:12] No HellaNZB users here? [23:12] uncmar: ati x1400 execly [23:12] 100meg in usa 10 yrs ago were cheap and common...cable of course. [23:12] fiftyone, i use ninan.. very nice [23:12] deany: um, that doesn't sound right. [23:12] GnomeKing, of course, thanks [23:12] 1.5 mbps adsl here [23:12] Hey guys. Im having a lot of trouble here. I switched to ubuntu a year ago and now that i formatted and resintalled windows it got rid of the grub loader. i have windows on hd0,0 . and ubuntu on another hdd. where should i reinstall grub on the windwos hd0,0 partition or on the ubuntu root parition? IM desperate . Thank you very much in advance <) [23:12] CrOOgie: I had help setting up an ATI once. Swore I wouldn't do it again. nvidia is much easier. [23:13] Anyone familiar with ntfsclone errors? I get "ERROR(22): restore_image: lseek: Invalid argument", help please. [23:13] deany: from what I hear, the US is *still* rather backwards when it comes to internet connections :) [23:13] I use a cable connection with 6mbps [23:13] well.. i knew a few people there in another irc channel... 100/10 cable [23:13] helpme2, install grub in the MBR but then on the ubuntu root partition. If you install grub on hd0,0, your windows boot loader will be fubared. [23:13] 100 mb should be fantastic, lol [23:13] helpme2, put it on hd0 [23:13] i can't run amdcccle with admin privileges because of http://paste.pocoo.org/show/102362/ [23:13] its weird!! my xorg.conf is execly: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/102363/ like that [23:13] I'm not sure if you can even get 100Mbps with cable... fiber, yes, not cable. [23:13] heheh [23:13] how can i make an atheros working in ubuntu , i want to have wifi [23:13] I'm having a lot of these messages show up. One every day, It gets kind of annoying to see these all the time. Any ideas how to make the be quiet? http://pastebin.com/m17faf939 [23:13] helpme2: The partition that is marked bootable. Which is probably the windows partition. [23:13] don't put it on hd0,0 [23:13] i know, im kidding.. it was 10meg and 1meg upload [23:13] :) [23:14] !madwifi [23:14] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:14] guys, im getting mixed signals here [23:14] but 10 yrs ago, id have killed for it [23:14] I have 100Mbps, but on a 1Gbps backbone shared with lots of other people (will soon be on a 10Gbps backbone though) [23:14] ahhhh, lol [23:14] helpme2, we're saying the same thing, just different ways [23:14] deany cool, does it support nzb? [23:14] any ideas ? [23:14] fiftyone, yup [23:14] i though someone said to install it on the ubuntu partition [23:14] fiftyone, Ninan Is Not A Newsreader [23:15] !grub | helpme2 good, step by step instructions: [23:15] helpme2 good, step by step instructions:: 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 [23:15] is there any xorg.conf than that one in /etc/X11/ ? :P [23:15] denay oh, i just want to download my nzbs :D [23:15] fiftyone, its a binary downloader [23:16] ah ok [23:16] server side, uses web interface to administer it.. v nice [23:16] CrOOgie: look in /etc/X11, you will see several, AND. you might have one in your ~/.X11 folder. Um, not sure about that, Might me .x11 or something similiar. [23:16] auto loads nzb, nzb.zip [23:16] uncmar, how could X use the user file? it loads it before you have logged in ;) [23:17] fiftyone, im a leecher.. using newzbin.com.. i use it [23:17] CrOOgie, the one that is used is /etc/X11/xorg.conf - the rest are backups [23:17] denay nice [23:17] perfect for what i want [23:17] hello [23:17] thought so [23:17] Does anyone know what package geoclue is? [23:17] CrOOgie: what GnomeKing said. I'm still learning a lot. [23:17] denay yea i use newzbin im so happy they finally fixed their payment thing [23:18] nickrud, when i use the find command i get two options, one is the windows partition and the other i believe is the ubuntu partition. where should i set root? on hd0,1 which is windows or hd1,0 [23:18] can anyone help with diskless booting? [23:18] go grab ninan.. im here for a while if you need help [23:18] yeah but error says that i have Disable keyword in my xorg.conf and it haven't [23:18] get the beta RC3 tho.. works fine [23:18] im trying to remove usplash by doing "aptitude purge usplash usplash-theme" but i get a message saying that it will also remove the meta package "ubuntu-desktop", which i do not want. so the question is, how can i remove a package part of the meta-package without removing the entire meta-package. anyone? [23:18] Arenlor: there isn't a package for geoclue in the repos [23:18] deany cool, im getting it now. [23:18] just dont like auto extracting to another folder for me [23:19] helpme2, hd1,0 (assuming that ubuntu is on your second harddisk) [23:19] no biggie [23:19] helpme2, ah, set root is ubuntu. [23:19] its same as hella, only gets pars when needed [23:19] gnomeking thanks, im doing that [23:19] CrOOgie, we'll assume you've restarted X? ;) [23:19] CrOOgie: There aren'te enough settings there to enable dual head. [23:19] helpme2, you mean the find stage 1? [23:19] denay, this is a dbm? or source? [23:19] wish it was in the repos [23:19] you need to install par2 [23:19] yea i got par2 [23:20] there is an installer [23:20] I've installed ATI drivers [23:20] ok cool [23:20] but i prefer the tar [23:20] thing is ive been doing this thing with grub for a while but i always got error 17 and 11 so i decided to fixmbr and fixboot with my xp cd in rescue mode and THEN do the grub with the ubuntu live cd [23:20] ill tell you guys what happened [23:20] i know that it is too small... but have no idea why [23:20] thanks everyone, im going to reboot now [23:20] darn [23:20] * nickrud wonders if helpme2 has mixed sata/pata drives [23:20] CrOOgie: according to that file posted, you are using glx and fglrx. Not ati or radeon. [23:20] I bet he's got a non-standard boot partition! [23:21] gnomeking: thankyou [23:21] Anyone know why BIND is called "bind9" in Ubuntu and "named" in Fedora? [23:21] mexitalian, happy to help :) [23:21] GnomeKing, I saw enough problems with that that I dumped the pata drive and got another sata before I even tried installing ;) [23:21] anybody have experience with a diskless boot? [23:21] hmm... so i have to edit it ? [23:22] mib_1ov9udf7: bind9 is its name, but it's a nameserver, so "named" tells its purpose. [23:22] hi, my sound is not working so good, it plays music at rythmbox, but at the internet, and the ubuntu sounds it doesnt play.... [23:22] sportsoft: diskless? such as CD, DVD, usb or Flash? [23:22] but the most weird is that "Disable" [23:22] sportsoft: are you talking 'bout a network boot? [23:22] Chousuke: Yes, but who renamed it--Ubuntu or Fedora? [23:22] anyone know the command to retrieve the hardware acceleration available for a video card? I thought it was some X command [23:22] yeah network booting [23:22] im think im playing with fsck fire [23:22] mib_1ov9udf7: probably fedora. [23:22] no idea what im doing really [23:22] no disk on the client at all [23:22] I'm looking specifically for opengl extensions [23:22] mib_1ov9udf7: it doesn't really matter; it might have two names for all I know :) [23:22] can someone help me? [23:23] I can't empty the trash. Permission denied. The trash has a folder in it, where I was building a driver. Any suggestions? I should have deleted the folder with rm. [23:23] any one ever use firehol? I'm trying to allow network address through the firewall anyone know how? [23:23] deany which .sh file do i run here? [23:23] Nyquist333, the trash is in ~/.trash - you can rm it there. [23:23] sportsoft: i am seeing if ubottu can explan it to you hold on [23:23] I'm trying to install Ubuntu but when i boot from the CD it just sits trying to load, when i get to the console i get this error [23:23] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector ######## [23:23] Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block ####### [23:23] Nyquist333, you probably don't have permissions to delete all files in there, but did to move the directory to the trash. [23:24] sportsoft: default audio setting problems? [23:24] weatherkid: ok, great [23:24] slide, probably a failure in downloading / burning the CD. If you can't get to the "check cd" option, re-download/burn [23:24] .trash does not exist in my home folder. [23:24] ok, let me reboot heh (dont leave GnomeKing ! ;) ) [23:24] Nyquist333, ok - the .trash sub-dir of the drive you deleted the files from then [23:24] The folder was on my desktop. I deleted it with the file browser. [23:25] slide: I was also thinking bad CD burn. [23:25] i have problems installing VmWare Server in my ubuntu desktop [23:25] anyone running dual head on latest ati drivers? [23:25] any one ever use firehol? I'm trying to allow local network addresses through the firewall anyone know how? [23:25] hi! Is it possible to have openOffice 3 on intrepid? Is there a guide about how to do it? thanks! [23:25] I'm actually trying [23:25] the problem is something to do with my dhsp setup or my pxelinux.cfg setup [23:25] naldoelpopular, what kind of problems? [23:25] Nyquist333, ok - I'm wrong :) not sure where it is now... ho hum [23:25] ok dosfsck and fsck both give me a blank screen eventually [23:25] i type commands and nothing happens [23:25] fdr: yes, its possible i have it install now on 8.10 [23:26] when install need a C compiler fcc [23:26] gcc [23:26] i would like to repair a fat32 hdd [23:26] It will boot and start to load the image, then I will just get this:Begin: Running /scripts/nfs.premount Dione NFSMount: Need a path [23:26] and easier gui apps i could use? [23:26] oever and over again [23:26] hyperspace: I'm trying [23:26] spill, is there a howto a guide or something?

Just need to find the folder. Then I can sudo rm it. [23:27] Nyquist333, or you can restore it from trash and rm it then... === naldoelpopular is now known as c0ntr0lp4n1k [23:27] do you have build-essential (sudo apt-get install build-essential)? [23:27] yes [23:27] hyperspace: CrOOgie is at the very beginning. Last I saw, wasn't using ati drivers yet. Still set to glx and fglrx [23:28] any one ever use firehol? I'm trying to allow local network addresses through the firewall anyone know how? [23:28] whar was the standard IRC port?`6667 or 5667? [23:28] naldoelpopular, you need build-essential package installed. [23:28] 6667? [23:28] 6667, abchirk. [23:28] Anyone familiar with ntfsclone errors? I get "ERROR(22): restore_image: lseek: Invalid argument", help please. [23:28] ok thanks [23:28] 6666-6669 are all pretty standard [23:29] * uncmar wonders which irc client gives that Konversation terminated message upon quit. [23:29] yeah, good question uncmar ... I wonder if it could be "konversation"? [23:29] uncmar: Konversation [23:29] any one ever use firehol? I'm trying to allow local network addresses through the firewall anyone know how? [23:29] GnomeKing - Retore worked, it is locked. Every strange. sudo rm worked. Thanks. [23:29] says: the flollowing packages are no longer required?
