[00:01] no [00:01] uncmar: no it wouldnt [00:01] uncmar, I mean when I close (by clicking apply) the page setup dialog... and it happens in Gimp and the default photo editor (F-Spot i believe). I don't actually close the image, just the page setup dialog, but when I try to print it prints the tiny 2 x 1.5 inch dimensions. [00:01] oh ok thanks ill try it.

[00:03] its really f***ing me off [00:03] please [00:04] could anyone tell me how to see a list of detected hardware devices.. similar to windows device manager.. i need to find out the IRQ of a PCI device [00:04] <_VIM_> !ohmy | lenswipe [00:04] lenswipe: Please watch your language, attitude, and topic to help keep this channel friendly and helpful. Remember, there are kids here! [00:04] * uncmar doesn't have gimp, running fluxbuntu. Light weight system. [00:04] uncmar, not in the page setup. I don't change anything else. (There's very few options, just the printer, size, and orientation) [00:04] lenswipe hey, need to calm down a bit, i will try to help you, just dont spam the channel [00:04] lenswipe i didnt catch the previous conversation. So try to explain to me what is happening [00:04] how i can turn off the gnome or grafical in ubuntu desktop? [00:05] Delvien: he installed varnish and it doesn't want to remove via syntaptic. [00:05] Delvien: thanks, i cant get rid of it with sudo apt-get autoremove varnish [00:05] c0ntr0lp4n1k: ctrl + alt + F2 [00:05] c0ntr0lp4n1k: in a terminal sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [00:05] right now when I double-click on a .sh file, a dialoge asks me whether to run it, rin it in terminal, cancel, etc. How can I do it so that it always runs in terminal or always runs in gui without having this dialogue? [00:05] Delvien: and i cant get rid of it with synaptic [00:05] lenswipe sudo apt-get remove --purge varnish --- try that [00:05] Delvien: the synaptic method gives me this: [00:05] thanks [00:05] http://s221.photobucket.com/albums/dd12/lenswipe/ubuntu/?action=view¤t=varnish.png [00:05] How can I run a terminal if i dont have any top or bottom panel? [00:06] http://pictureposter.allbrand.nu/upload.php this is my error, any way to fix it from ubuntu or do i need to go through the vista recovery cd? [00:06] lenswipe what does the command i gave you output? [00:06] <_VIM_> CyBurnett: ALT + F2 then type gnome-terminal [00:06] Delvien: the command? [00:06] good morning all :) [00:06] CyBurnett, just type alt+f2 [00:06] lenswipe sudo apt-get remove --purge varnish --- try that [00:06] oh ok sec then [00:06] http://pictureposter.allbrand.nu/pictures/CoLD%5EMeTaL/Screenshot.png [00:06] How can I manipulate configuration files in /etc/ without opening gedit with sudo [00:06] _vIM_ I tried that but nothing happens :( [00:07] tsrk: you are changing page setup? you need to change image resolution. Not sure how it is labeled or where to find it. [00:07] bongoman_: you cant edit anything in /etc/ without root. [00:07] <_VIM_> CyBurnett: are you even useing Ubuntu? [00:07] no [00:07] bongoman_: you can sudo nano /etc/FILE [00:07] <_VIM_> Using* [00:07] ah ok [00:07] _VIM_, Yes of course, Im not that stupid!!?? [00:07] tsrk: Do not change resize the image. You only want the inches and ppi to change. pixels should remain the same. [00:07] uncmar, it has a DPI setting in the print dialogue, but i'm having this problem even before then. All i want to do is make a 4 x 6 print, but it's always making it way to small. [00:07] bongoman_: but if you are unfamiliar with nano, you may want to stick with gedit before you start editing things in /etc [00:07] any one ever use firehol? I'm trying to allow local network addresses through the firewall anyone know how? [00:07] <_VIM_> CyBurnett: ok it's just odd that you cant ALT + F2 [00:07] uncmar, i'm not change pixles, i'm changing inches [00:08] tsrk: That's it. DPI, Dots Per inch. probably defaults to 75 dpi. [00:08] <_VIM_> CyBurnett: and you'd be shocked of how many people come in here that dont even use Ubuntu so i had to ask :) [00:08] _VIM_: is he running gnome or KDE? [00:08] uncmar, but it needs to print 4 x 6, and it's giving me 1200 dpi [00:08] hmm I was thinking about how save it is [00:09] why is your text highlited red ? [00:09] tsrk: page setup is for the printer. Not the image. [00:09] bongoman_: control + x and read the options, to confirm when saving nano [00:09] Ok I guess I'll just go over what i've done. I've installed the basic Eclipse program from Synaptic and then added the PHP Plugin from the Eclipse's own plugin manager. When I try to run eclipse on a normal user account it starts and lets you create projects and files, however when you attempt to open a file it says "An error has occured, Please check the log file" however it does not specify where this log file is and Google gives se [00:09] veral different locations. If I run Eclipse as ROOT this issue does not occur however then I have the problum of all my files belonging to ROOT and I really don't want to have to deal with CHMODING everything all the time. I read on Google and the forums that if you install Sun-Java6-jpc and set ubuntu to use that as the default JAVA environment it should fix this issue but this has not happened. At this point I am just running in ci [00:09] rcles. I really want to use ECLIPSE under Ubuntu but if I can't make this work soon i'm going to have to go back to *SHUDDER* windows. [00:09] VinceN: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:09] when I double-click on a .sh file, a dialog asks me whether to run it in terminal, just run it, cancel, etc. How can I do it so that it always runs in terminal or always runs in gui without having this dialog? [00:09] _VIM_, I can get to the desktop, at 800x600 resolution but the only thing that works is the right click context menu? [00:09] tsrk: you need to chnage the image settings. [00:09] Delvien: here: http://pastebin.com/m36e03dfc [00:09] Delvien: thats the output of the commands === culture_ is now known as culture === lance_ is now known as Guest21267 [00:09] * lenswipe is close to tears :'( [00:09] not really [00:09] but its annoying [00:10] _VIM_, I have no panels, no icons, only desktop background [00:10] lenswipe try this sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq varnish [00:10] ppl, i can't install Canon LBP-1120 on Ubuntu 8.10, help plz [00:10] uncmar, ohh, ok, i see what you're saying, i'll try that [00:10] hey anyone here ever use "pan' for reading news? how do i use par2 btw [00:11] lenswipe: did you remove any files by hand? [00:11] VinceN: I have a suggestion, uninstall everything that you have installed, and we can try it [00:11] durt its a broken package [00:11] Delvien: [00:11] durt other users have had the same issue [00:11] any one ever use firehol? I'm trying to allow local network addresses through the firewall anyone know how? [00:11] Delvien:http://pastebin.com/m1cb0b362 [00:11] danbhfive : Ok one moment [00:12] tsrk: you see where it says resolution of 72 ppi? [00:12] lenswipe http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=676434 scroll to the bottom and read the instructions by slipmyknot101 [00:12] wow thank you Delvien, I like this nano [00:12] Delvien: thanks [00:12] uncmar, yeah, i should set that to 1200 right? [00:12] <_VIM_> you'll like VIM even better :P [00:12] _VIM_, I have tried useing the recoverty entries back to 2.6.24-16 up to 2.6.24 23 without success [00:13] tsrk: don't set it based on the ppi. === bluejune is now known as adityawarna [00:13] tsrk: resize the image, keeping the same pixel, but increasing the inches. The result, the ppi will change. [00:13] i could really use some help getting a good news reader up and running [00:13] uncmar, ok, how do I do that? [00:13] tsrk: in other words, you want to scale without resizing. [00:13] danbhfive : Ok, Done. Eclipse and all configuration files have been removed through Synaptic [00:14] uncmar, yeah, how do i tell it to keep pixles constant though? [00:14] VinceN: ok, can you remove all versions of java, except the sun one [00:14] VinceN: unfortunately, all the opensource versions seem to be a mess === zz_hexbase is now known as hexbase [00:15] tsrk: I could show you if I had gimp, I guess I could install on this tiny crappy laptop. [00:15] <_VIM_> CyBurnett: why are you directing all your questions to me? ask the channel :) I was just curious as why you couldnt do 'Alt + F2' [00:15] danbhfive : I read that can cause issues with other packages that were set to use the default one if you removed it. Could break dependances. If you like I can still do it though [00:15] uncmar, i think i mighta got it, i'm trying it now [00:15] lenswipe: that work? [00:16] VinceN: mk, I dunno. I have it this way on my system, mostly defaults, and im doing ok [00:16] _VIM_, you people are unbeleivable?? [00:16] the resize should be instant. Because the image isn't actually scaled. And the aspect ratio should remain locked. [00:16] How do I tell ubuntu to use the function keys as normal function keys (and not as "special function", brightness, sound, etc) on my Apple keyboard? Please don't suggest external software -- other Linux distibutions recognize the function keys just fine. [00:16] <_VIM_> !patience | CyBurnett [00:16] CyBurnett: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [00:16] Any suggestions for a good newsreader that supports NZB? [00:16] VinceN: but I don't really use java that much, except for eclipse [00:16] <_VIM_> CyBurnett: no ones getting paid here please be kind [00:17] _VIM_, if you couldnt or didnt want to answer my question why did you waste my time? [00:17] <_VIM_> omg [00:17] <_VIM_> i asked you one question! [00:17] <_VIM_> geesh [00:17] CyBurnett: which desktop are using? [00:17] Is there someone who is familiar with sane or the frontend Xsane ? It works but only when I start it from terminal with sudo, otherwise my scsi HP scanner is not recognized [00:18] _VIM_, hey thats fine and I appreciate your help, but i thought this was a place to get help? [00:18] umcar, Gnome [00:19] CyBurnett, stop cyber bullying. [00:19] hi [00:19] danbhfive : Done, Sun is the sole java machine left [00:19] is there any command line irc client for ubuntu? [00:19] <_VIM_> CyBurnett: its Superbowl sunday... a lot of people (the regulars) are not here.. :( [00:19] vim what was that plugin i needed for gnome do? [00:19] Go cyber fuck yourself!! [00:19] <_VIM_> it's not a plugin its' a theme 'docky' [00:19] Trabzonspor: irssi. that is what I am using. works great. :P [00:19] oh theme [00:20] im assuming i have to find it since its not in the list [00:20] whats the "templates" folder in /home for? [00:20] temlates [00:20] anybody used anyremote? [00:20] VinceN: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EclipseIDE#User%20installation follow those instructions to install ganymede eclipse [00:20] what are those [00:21] CyBurnett: ALT-CTRL F1 or F2 [00:21] that should give you a terminal to work with. [00:21] umcar, that gets me to a terminal [00:21] I have two questions, 1) is there an IME that I can use in Ubuntu for Japanese Language? 2) My sound isn't working properly. If I have the volume at half-way it isn't audible, and if its all the way up, its only about half as loud as it was before Ubuntu. How can I fix this? [00:21] you can should be able to get an xterminal with. DISPLAY=:0.0 xterm & [00:22] batti, in volume control, check your levels. [00:22] CyBurnett: then use ALT-CTRL F7 or maybe F6 to get your gnome display again. [00:22] or in terminal use alsamixer to adjust levels [00:22] baatti: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JapaneseInput [00:22] hey [00:23] VinceN: gotta run. Hope that works out [00:23] CyBurnett: we trying to fix your X resolution problems? [00:23] umcar, I already have my gnome display, but I have no icons or panels. [00:23] GeorgeAScott: what is 'Volume Control'? Are you referring to the speaker icon in my taskbar? [00:23] umcar, thank you for helping me. [00:23] Stroganoff: thank you [00:23] CyBurnett: try running nautilus. I would type nau[Tab] Not sure of the spelling. === hexbase is now known as zz_hexbase [00:24] baatti, if you right click to menu, click option to open volume control [00:24] CyBurnett: do it from the xterm. That way you remain in the x and can see the error messages at the same time. [00:24] umcar, I would do that if I could open a terminal, but i have no icons or panels [00:24] CyBurnett: alt+f2 -> xterm [00:25] baatti... sorry... yes, right click the speaker you see [00:25] How do I tell ubuntu to use the function keys as normal function keys (and not as "special function", brightness, sound, etc) on my Apple keyboard? Please don't suggest external software -- other Linux distibutions recognize the function keys just fine. [00:25] wow... gnome do has made it a pita to install the new version [00:25] CyBurnett: from the other terminal I todlyou to run. DISPLAY=0.0 xterm & that should have launched a xterm on your X. [00:25] Krstnsn: yep [00:25] GeorgeAScott: Ok, I'm there, I see a few options for Devices, but I'm not sure which I should be using. The default device is only half as loud as from Windows. [00:26] they couldnt just put a .deb up on the site? [00:26] CyBurnett: That should be DISPLAY=:0.0 [00:26] GeorgeAScott: if I turn the volume all the way up to 100% in Volume Control, its not very loud, if I turn it down to 50%, there is no sound [00:26] Krstnsn: not all gnome environments are debian based [00:26] i know but still [00:26] baatti: PCM volume control value? [00:26] the one in the repos isnt upto date [00:27] uncmar PCM value is 100% [00:27] and the command they said to enter into the terminal doesnt work [00:27] Krstnsn: still in beta last time i looked ( the docky version ) [00:27] anyone know how to disable the function of a laptop touchpad that will change work spaces if you scroll on the right hand side ? i hope to disable that as i hate switching workspaces accidentally [00:27] it was on the mainpage of the site [00:27] hi [00:27] Delvien: Yaaaayyy! varnish is no more!!!! :D:D:D:D thanks !! [00:28] addiaat: change it in compiz config look for "bindings" on desktop wall plugin, or cube, whichever you are running [00:28] lenswipe: np [00:28] Delvien: lesson learned: never ever install varnish [00:28] umcar, xterm Xt error: cant open display 0.0 [00:28] addiaat: I'd like to know how to do that as well. I've just lived with it for now and not asked the question. then again, I'm under fluxbuntu, so things are a little different. [00:28] baatti, the default device is probably correct, check the other levels too. [00:28] lenswipe: hehe im sure it will get fixed eventually. === wfaswe is now known as kalakouenti [00:28] Delvien: u think the ubuntu team would remove it from the repos? It breaks things, im trying to install skype and i couldnt cos of that === kalakouenti is now known as kalakouentin [00:28] Delvien: can now, thanks to you :) [00:28] lenswipe: did you ever get rid of varnish? [00:29] can i set the ubuntu desktop to bott without gnome? [00:29] lenswipe is it in the ubuntu repos? [00:29] GeorgeAScott: ok. I have all the values at 100%, still the same problem. Perhaps I need to reboot?? [00:29] lenswipe if so, report the bug on launchpad [00:29] Delvien: skype or varnish? [00:29] lenswipe varnish [00:29] i have a problem....today a try to install openssh ser + scponly....now when i try to acess terminal i only got this message..."WinSCP: this is end-of-file:0"... [00:29] Delvien: in that case i wouldnt call it a bug, more of a virus... [00:29] c0ntr0lp4n1k: yeah, choose another Desktop environment. KDE, Fluxbox, XFCE, .... [00:29] how i solve this? [00:29] Delvien: It screws configurations up and its f***ing impossible to remove >=[ [00:30] lenswipe two fundamentally different things :) [00:30] ok so why does gnome do website tell me to put "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/do-core/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main" into the terminal, but i get a return that "deb" isnt a command [00:30] wtf [00:30] Delvien: exactly, like im saying varnish isnt a virus but its behaving like one [00:30] hi, i was about to reformat the computer and reset it up with the windows/ubuntu dual boot, is there any advantage to installing one or the other first? [00:30] uncmar i want to boot without graphical evironments [00:30] Delvien: doing damage and its impossible to remove nearly :( [00:30] Krstnsn, you put that in /etc/apt/sources.list not the terminal [00:31] lenswipe: thats the beauty of linux, theres always some way to fix it :) [00:31] oh shit [00:31] c0ntr0lp4n1k: that's is easy too. I don't recall where to remove that auto-start. /etc/init.d ? gdm??? [00:31] it could be more clear about it... honestly... [00:31] too bad my spelling is terrible :D [00:31] Delvien: thats true, but it is annoying lol [00:31] umcar, if i type DISPLAY=0.0 xterm & I get [6] + Exit DISPLAY=0.0 [00:31] Hello, installed 8.10, not able to set my monitor past 800x600. How do I get around this? [00:31] bj_: windows first, then ubuntu, just makes it easier, and you dont have to reinstall grub [00:31] anyone here can help me out configuring my wireless broadband card? [00:32] Krstnsn, type: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and copy-paste that line at the bottom of the file [00:32] CyBurnett: there was an error in that line I gave you. [00:32] sounds good, i like easier :P [00:32] uncmar, where is the autostart? [00:32] CyBurnett: it is suppose to be DISPLAY=:0.0 See the : ? [00:32] @c0ntr0lp4n1k you can do an install from the minimal cd and not even have a desktop [00:32] yes I already compesated for that :) [00:33] c0ntr0lp4n1k: I was hoping somebody else would have answered that by now. :( [00:33] wireless help, anyone? [00:33] Level_5: sure whats the problem? [00:33] CyBurnett: did it still give you an error? [00:33] ok let me brief you [00:34] Level_5: come to a private chat, make things easier :) [00:34] ok [00:35] umcar, Yes. xterm Xt error: cant open display: :0.0 [00:35] help m please [00:36] whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa [00:36] something just happened [00:36] i typed "$ sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install gnome-do" into the terminal [00:36] can i upgrade the desktop version to server version? [00:37] and its uninstalling ALLL sorts of stuff [00:37] eh, i hate aptitude [00:37] python [00:37] for that reason [00:37] CyBurnett: I'm going to do a test. brb. [00:37] is it ok? [00:37] just use apt-get [00:37] or is someting messing up? [00:37] c0ntr0lp4n1k: servers don't have a Dekstop. so you would simply remove the desktop environments. [00:37] i have a problem....today a try to install openssh ser + scponly....now when i try to acess terminal i only got this message..."WinSCP: this is end-of-file:0"... [00:37] Krstnsn: possibly [00:37] help m pleas [00:37] Is it possible to reinstall Ubuntu 8.04 over the top and not lose any data or settings? [00:38] oh my god [00:38] it seriously went to town on "removing" [00:39] Is there a command to check that your Xorg and video drivers are acting togeather good ? [00:39] Jack Sparrow is a Nice Guy!! [00:39] CyBurnett: I'm trying to detrmine how to discover your X display number. [00:39] it might be DISPLAY=:0 [00:39] hi [00:39] Delvien, can you please look at this and tell me if something horrid went down [00:39] like is there a command to find up from the terminal what vdeo ddrivers your using as well ? [00:39] http://www.pastebin.cz/14830 [00:40] CyBurnett yes [00:40] rainmanp7: modprobe ? [00:40] Krstnsn dont panic , just check the synaptic history and it all should be there what was changed, you can install ubuntu-desktop metapackage and all the default stuff will be reinstalled [00:40] uncmar, Ok Ill try that. [00:40] Krstnsn: this is why i dont use aptitude : ) [00:40] Krstnsn: it removed your kernel headers, and alot of python/java stuff [00:40] CyBurnett do it without formating and remember your root because your still probably going to have to set it :) [00:41] which may cause some apps to not function or crash [00:41] why would it do that? thats messed up .. so what do i do to restore? === Suntzzu1` is now known as mike_ === mike_ is now known as BigMike [00:41] rainmanp7, do what without formatting? [00:42] Krstnsn: i'd just go through and install each package with apt-get [00:42] CyBurnett I was able to reinstall over the top to fix things back to normal with out formating the driver and lossing all kinds of infromation [00:42] im not that savvy [00:42] CyBurnett: if you reinstall, simply delete or rename most all folders but your /home/ [00:42] Krstnsn: "sudo apt-get install " its not that hard [00:43] uncmar ;) i like that idea [00:43] CyBurnett: /home/ stores most everything. Then again. I am by far not a linux expert [00:43] !aptitude | Delvien [00:43] Delvien: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [00:44] but how do i know what the packages are? [00:44] Winball: please dont bot me. I know what it is and it just spams the channel [00:44] Krstnsn: in your pastebin "removing ....

[00:46] I'm having consistent kernel panics since yesterday. they happen with my main OS (hardy), with a test OS (Debian sarge, kernel 2.6.8) and with a Hardy LiveCD and a LiveDVD. It happens early in the boot process, with a message that modprobe failed for some reason. I can boot no system in that machine in order to get whatever log files that might be useful there, and I don't think it's a hardware issue because I have a Windows XP there working properly [00:46] (display, video 3d, audio, network, bluetooth mouse, etc). Any suggestions? [00:46] md22, i do. it works great [00:46] Krstnsn check the install log, synaptic => file => history [00:46] md22, so do i [00:46] nice [00:47] Krstnsn and again if you install ubuntu -desktop it WILL restore all the default packages [00:47] philsf, do your *nix installs share the same swap partition? [00:47] and it actually runs better than in windows md22, I use linux during PvP because latency is way reduced on my ubuntu [00:47] md22, the most prevalent problems that arise are: a bad installation, it's best to copy the folder from a working installation, and d3d/opengl issues. note that WoW.exe takes an -opengl option to put it in hardware acceleration [00:47] http://www.pastebin.cz/14831 it told me that.. didnt say it removed anything [00:47] any success with ganyremote from anybody? i'm having issues connecting to the computer thru java [00:47] Sylphid: yes, they do, but I haven't used Debian in ages [00:48] md22, otherwise, most of your problems are solved by tweaking the Config.wtf file from the tips out there on the internet [00:48] hi [00:48] md22, that, and all the add-ons i've tried work just like they're supposed to [00:48] who's used kicker [00:48] philsf, it may be a problem with your hard drive, if only the *nix installs are problematic and they all share the same swap space more than likely there are bad blocks on your swap partition [00:49] i don't know why i can't fing it in the applications [00:49] md22, if you need tips on your config.wtf file here's a good link http://www.blog.highub.com/linux/world-of-warcraft-configuration-configwtf-on-ubuntu/ [00:49] CyBurnett: you will have to reinstall VirtualBox, but otherwise, they should. [00:49] koshar: when i apt get that ubuntu-desktop it says ... E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [00:49] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [00:49] how can i get fewer samples from an inputfile using gnuplot? [00:49] Sylphid: I could try disabling or deleting it, but does the live CD use a swap if it's available? [00:49] easy way to have apt-get download alsa build it from source, and reinstall it ? [00:49] Matt_S, thanks, i didn't feel like googling it ;) [00:49] 说句中国话阿 === elpargo_ is now known as elpargo [00:49] guys is there no #ubuntu+1 anymore? or is there a separated channel for beta ?

[00:51] now i gotta figure out how to get this damned .8 gnome do installed [00:51] philsf, what is the message? [00:51] uncmar its not hard just tupe top in cli [00:52] Krstnsn, if you're on Hardy, it's not gonna work; i've tried in much vain [00:52] Sylphid: it looks like a backtrace, and hopefully it's being saved to kern.log, but I can't boot the live system [00:52] no intrepid [00:52] Sylphid: I tried opening a shell from the text installer, but it didn't mount my lvm partitions === Vinceman is now known as idefix [00:53] Krstnsn, hmm... the gnome-do guys have a PPA, they also seem to suggest that .8 is in the ubuntu repos [00:53] koshar2: that launches it, It doesn't explain it. [00:53] philsf, have you changed any partitions recently [00:53] Krstnsn, https://launchpad.net/~do-core/+archive/ppa [00:54] rdw200169, i just got .6 out of the repos haha [00:54] Sylphid: recently I added a new HD, and incorporated it into my /home filesystem ( I use lvm) [00:54] why are entries in KTorrent sometimes stalled? [00:54] uncmar "man top" explains it [00:54] Krstnsn, I dunno, it was vague on their site, regardless, on that link i gave you they have .8 [00:54] Sylphid: this shouldn't have any effect into anything related to boot process, hardware in general, or other drivers, AFAIK [00:54] philsf, can you verify that the partition order did not change [00:55] nevermind I typed it incorrectly :) [00:55] ya im trying to figure out how to do this ppa stuff [00:55] philsf, or the partition UUID's [00:55] Sylphid: right now I'm in my laptop (the problem is in my desktop) [00:55] philsf, of course that would not cause problems with a live cd [00:56] ^2 [00:56] Sylphid: I cna see there is a new kernel in the -security repo, and I'm worried this might be a regression related to it [00:56] 我的显卡驱动安装不了，显卡是FX5200的。更新过之后3D效果就打不开了。 [00:57] !cn | liubo [00:57] liubo: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [00:57] philsf, what live cd's have you tried? [00:57] Sylphid: hardy, both a desktop CD and the dvd [00:57] thank u..i'm new [00:57] philsf, and both failed [00:58] Sylphid: correct [00:58] Is there a way to make my sound louder? When I turn mplayer or amarok or -anything- up to full volume and my headphones all the way up it's still too quiet [00:59] Sylphid: I have a nvidia card I can remove for tests, but since it's working in windows, and not working in the live cd, it shouldn't be a regression in the new kernel [00:59] NimbleRabit, there are several volume controls, pump up them all [00:59] NimbleRabit: right click your sound applet, open volume control, make sure "Master" and "PCM" are both all thew way up [00:59] Everything in "volume control" I've turned all the way up, master, pcm, front, line-in [01:00] philsf, correct... the only thing that makes sense is hardware... have any *nix installs worked since the new drive was installed? [01:00] hey can someone help me, how do you use par2?? [01:00] NimbleRabit: turn your speakers up..lol [01:00] heh they don't go very loud. I guess I can live with it, everything is just about 60% of what it was on windows [01:01] i installed par2 and now i have a file that has some par2 files but im not sure what to do with them... [01:02] Sylphid: hardy yes, for over a week, debian I haven't used in over a year [01:03] hi, i want to rum my soundoutput on a different plug what can i do? [01:03] philsf, any bios upgrades? [01:03] Sylphid: no, not even bios configuration changes [01:04] Sylphid: when I put the new HD, I just made sure it was second in the boot order [01:04] philsf, can you check the system clock to make sure the battery didnt die [01:04] hi, why cannot I install qt4-assistant package ? Package qt4-assistant is [01:04] not available, but is referred to by another package [01:05] Sylphid: I will. do you have any ideas following this? [01:05] there are a few other packages that I have this problem also [01:06] philsf, my first concern is why it wont boot from a live disk... obviously they worked before and that they are not now so that indicates a hardware issue or bad disk [01:06] hey guys, if i use "checkinstall" instead of "sudo make install" would it be any better? i want clean installations & uninstallations (sudo apt-get autoremove for example) to work properly.. [01:07] philsf, since multiple disks arnt working were down to hardware [01:07] sockets: yep, definitely [01:07] using a WinFast TV2000 XP Deluxe, how do I get sound without physically plugging the audio output into my line in jack [01:07] sockets: yes... [01:07] philsf, may want to strip your hardware down to the bare minimum and see if it works then add one piece back at a time to see what breaks it [01:07] thanks guys [01:09] philsf, i think once you get a live cd to boot you will find your problem with your installed *nix's [01:09] Sylphid: apart from the nvidia card, everrything else is onboard (a spare video, audio and ethernet). I tried disabling audio, since parts of the trace included snd_intel_* strings that resemble the alsa modules I use [01:09] Sylphid: unfortunatly disabling the audio card in the BIOS didn't make any difference [01:09] ok guys i just built my first ubuntu box... now i finely got it to install... kinda like pulling teath now whenever i boot up the computer it runs very very slow and lagy wat would be casueing this? [01:10] philsf, have you ran a memtest? [01:10] full screen apps show up behind the gnome panels when running through wine. How can I fix this? [01:10] flashesbu specs? [01:10] Sylphid: I also didn't check the memory with memtest, because windows is working, and I spent hours playing neverwinter, but since I now basically out of ideas, I'll have to try that [01:10] 3.2 gh p4 500g hd and 512 mgs of ram [01:11] philsf, cant hurt to try booting a live cd with HD's disconnected [01:11] flashesbu should be pretty nimble with those specs, the live disc worked ok? [01:11] i believe in letting ubuntu do critical updates and such ..BUT.. i want my laptop to be lean and mean ... i don't need cups, bind9, etc, etc, etc ... is there some way to limit the automatic updaes to just those that are in the critical category? [01:11] Sylphid: good idea, I'm writing down all your suggestions, I'll be home in a couple hours to try them all [01:11] umm ya... like it runs ook as soon as it boots then just starts slowing down slower and slower [01:11] mic_lovin if yu dont need cups remove it [01:12] flashesbu run top and see what processes arew running [01:12] How do I change the device I play sound through? [01:12] top? im new to this [01:12] philsf, any usb devices plugged in? [01:12] can you put a dif background picture to each dif workspace? [01:12] flashesbu: bring up an xterm and type "top" into it [01:13] mic_lovin: i dont know if there is such an option, but if you really want a slim system, try arch or gentoo [01:13] flashesbu: xterm = terminal [01:13] ok brb [01:13] Raylz: Arch > Gentoo [01:13] i've got the acpi WINDOWS driver for my laptop and no appropriate drivers exist for ubuntu/linux. how can i use these windows drivers under ubuntu? would i use ndiswrapper? or is that only for wireless drivers?

[01:48] daedra: yes, I choose Ubuntu from the list and it then takes me to the grub menu [01:48] hello everyone [01:48] reboot, and look at boot up :P [01:48] then I get onto ubuntu, daedra [01:48] yeah ah... [01:48] how about without booting? [01:49] Crayboff, Wubi doesn't install grub to the MBR, it loads grub from Vista's bootloader, so what's happening now is that GRUB ( standard grub ) is loading Vista's bootloader which is then running GRUB ( wubi version ) which is then booting Ubuntu [01:49] is there a 'system info' inside Ubuntu? [01:49] system monitor [01:49] Does anyone know how to get analog 5.1 audio in ubuntu (I have a realtek ALC883 built-in 5.1 audio card). In windows, the driver has jack sensing and asks me what I plug in. [01:49] ok [01:49] Crayboff: well you can set the GRUB timeout to be like 1 second, so you barely notice it [01:49] Baatti, sudo apt-get sysinfo && sysinfo [01:49] I was wondering if there was a way to send a message to other people that use your wireless internet?

[01:51] koshar2: it's not in any repo synaptic doesn't see it [01:51] apt-get doesn't see it [01:51] Crayboff: I don't see why [01:51] Crayboff: all you are changing is how fast it boots the default kernel option [01:51] daedra: i know [01:51] chrometiger you need to find what repo its in and add that , and then reload the repo list [01:51] is there a program that opens rar files?? [01:52] Crayboff: as long as Ubuntu is the first option in the menu, it will boot that according to your new timeout [01:52] micah_ fileroller through the gui [01:52] ok thank you [01:52] Crayboff: otherwise, you will just have to reorder the entries so that the one you want is at the top [01:52] micah_ you may need to add rar package [01:52] daedra: ya, i got that [01:52] I'm going to get rid of Windows, windows sucks.

[02:05] daedra, well i meant making a symlink to /usr/bin/epic4 that's in the same directory, like /usr/bin/epic. that way it's sitll in my path and i can launch it from any directory [02:05] jasmuz: it was autogenerated, and since it works with my current windowmanager, I left it :P [02:05] how do i get the cursor to rotate with the screen on a tablet? when i rotate the screen the cursor moves the opposite direction of the pen [02:05] wich is best antivirus for ubuntu?

[02:05] ayande, you dont really need an antivirus [02:06] skate2: yep that would work... it only saves you one character :P === Octoroks__ is now known as octoroks_ [02:06] sholsinger: nvidia requires a new version pretty much every minor kernel update eg 2.6.27 -> 2.6.28 [02:06] i have mailserver [02:06] jasmuz: xmonad [02:06] and ftp [02:06] dont know if its secure [02:06] ayande, you want to scan for Win virus? [02:06] ayande, ClamAV [02:06] ayande are you joking? [02:06] OK: my file /etc/apt/sources.list currently contains this single line: "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy main". It looks like I need to add a line to that file to be able to install the "perlmagick" and "python-pythonmagick" packages. Question is, how do I figure out what line(s) I need to add? [02:06] no im new to linux [02:06] dont really know how it works [02:06] daedra: ohh.. never used it, if you feel KDE is really worth it, you are going to have to reconfigure your xserver [02:06] jasmuz: I've never written my own xorg.conf.. got any recommended howtos? (trying google now) [02:07] daedra: are you running an ati? [02:07] sholsinger: does ls /dev/snd/pcm* return anything? or "no such file or directory" [02:07] jasmuz: yep [02:07] hi everybody, someone have an ipod here? [02:07] leviatan: yup [02:07] ayande you really dont need to be worried about viris in linux (at least presently) clamAV and others will scan windows files for nasties [02:07] ayande: try #ubuntu-server [02:07] ldiamond i do want to scan viruses maybe send by mail [02:07] ayande: neither do many other people. that is why there aren't many viri for it. and you therefore you don't need antivirus software. [02:07] I want to know how to syncronize it [02:07] leviatan yes [02:07] mjc, can I msg you in private? [02:07] daedra: try installing Envy-NG from the repos and using it.. it will do everything else for you [02:07] ok [02:07] leviatan model [02:07] mjc: No such file or directory. [02:07] kurisuto, Just add "universe" to the end of the line you have ( if those packages are available in universe, which IIRC they are ) [02:07] ayande, if people send you win virus, they wont work on linux [02:07] 120gb koshar2 [02:08] ldiamond: no, I would suspect that there would be others that could benefit [02:08] oh i see [02:08] ok [02:08] leviatan g5? [02:08] Jordan_U: Thank you! [02:08] thanks alot everyone for help [02:08] chears [02:08] anyone got lame and k3b running well [02:08] How do I install webcam drivers for linux? [02:08] koshar2, mm i think 5.5 or 6 [02:08] kurisuto, np [02:08] mjc: I've seen this problem fixed in edgy by manually compiling a binary Intel driver, but I'm pretty sure this should just work. [02:08] How do I automatically tell ubuntu to unload and reload particular modules during/after the suspend/resume process? [02:08] mjc, do you know how I could fix my problem? I tried installing the driver pack from Realtek site. (I believe I just put a lot of useless stuffs everywhere in my file system) [02:09] leviatan i use amarok to manage my g4 [02:09] !webcam | Jonathan2 [02:09] Jonathan2: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [02:09] sholsinger: try: modprobe snd-hda-intel [02:09] i'm running a build made for my (OLPC) XO, and there's only one user. i note that my password allows sudo'ing, but some parts of xfce seem confused about there being a missing root user.. any ideas for a fix? [02:09] mjc, even with that, I dont see any way to assign channels to specific jacks [02:09] sholsinger: see if that makes /dev/snd/pcm* show up [02:09] mtretin: using fairy dust. No, really, I'd like to know that too. I have wireless that needs reactivated after hibernates. [02:09] mtretin i dont know about resume suspend but at boot time you use the blacklist [02:09] daedra: how about you go do that, and pm me if anything [02:09] uncmar cant you jsut use modprobe? [02:10] any ideas on rotating the cursor? [02:10] ldiamond: manufacturer specific drivers are always out of date on linux, linux kernel gets 1,000+ changes per day, so they are pretty much pointless to bother with [02:10] jasmuz: hokay [02:10] uncmar, koshar2: Well, it might be easier to track down if either of you know how to tell which daemon handles suspend resume on my system? [02:10] koshar2 I read that to have to modify the sysinfo file.... but in some webpages say that I just have to install lipgpod and syncronize it with amarok.... what have i do exactly? [02:10] mjc, what do you suggest? [02:10] mjc: Negative. [02:11] LjL: how's it going? [02:11] esworp: first i ENVY your XO, second... how about you make a root user? [02:11] sholsinger: hm. does it let you modprobe it at least? [02:11] mjc: btw, way to multitask. Tackling two Realtek issues at once. You're doing the community proud. :) [02:11] mjc: modprobe does not return anything. [02:11] anybody wanna help me troubleshoot my wireless problem on an HP dv9819wm with a broadcom wireless card? [02:11] I really could use the help [02:12] Level_5: what is your issue? [02:12] ldiamond: one sec, looking for how to mess with the models on the module command line, what motherboard is it? [02:12] leviatan some of the newer ipods have the database on the ipod encrypted, and there was a time when the ipod tools couldnt open it, i beleive the newer packages will now for ipods however the touch is still more problematic and i beleive you need to jailbreak them [02:12] sholsinger: ok, and lsmod | grep hda [02:12] ? [02:12] mjc its a laptop (Clevo M570ru) [02:12] jasmuz, you there? [02:12] Level_5: sure... tell me [02:13] ldiamond: try speaker-test -Dplug:iec958 -c6 [02:13] mjc: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m23ef398d [02:13] How do I tell which daemon handles suspend/resume in ubuntu? [02:13] jasmuz, ok i've read a few things on this already. everything seems to point to removing ndis-utils, ndis wrapper, which by the way I don't have on this laptop [02:13] sholsinger: ok, so it thinks the driver is loaded correctly. do you see anything in alsamixer? or does it give you an error [02:13] sholsinger: the commandline version [02:13] jasmuz, the light is lit on the card but it wan't recognize my dhcp server, which I know is working. [02:14] Level_5: have you checked the current state of the that chipset your card has? [02:14] mtretin: gnome-power-manager in regular ubuntu. not sure with kubuntu [02:14] what is the 'blessed' way to make a root user? [02:14] mjc: volume control cannot find any devices to control [02:14] esworp: use sudo [02:14] Level_5, What chipset and what have you done so far? [02:14] if i have clocked my cpu a little higher now than when i first installed ubuntu, do i need to alter any configs or kernel stuff to accommodate the new cpu speed? [02:14] koshar2, oce i tried to manage my ipod with rythmbox but i lost all my music.... well just the play list in my ipod, all mp3 were still there... I don't want to happend the same :( [02:15] esworp, Having a root user is not blessed in Ubuntuland :) [02:15] sholsinger: hm. try 'udevadm trigger' without quotes [02:15] mjc, Thanks, is there a entry in /proc or /sys or something like that so I can confirm? I'm trying to figure out how to tel ubuntu to automatically load/reload modules suring the suspend resume process [02:15] esworp: sudo user add root (?) [02:15] Jordan_U, I have the broadcom chipset. So far I've tried to remove and re-install ndis wrapper. ndis wrapper or ndis-utils isn't on this laptop at all [02:15] mjc: returned nothing... [02:16] <_VIM_> !root [02:16] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [02:16] Level_5, Which chipset exactly? ( "lspci | grep -i broadcom" to find out ) [02:16] Level_5: did you install the NDIS utilities, add the driver, load it as a module, and then use it? [02:16] Jordan_U, hang on [02:16] jasmuz, no I didn't do that [02:16] mtretin: you would use dbus to add an event. how specifically I am not sure. [02:16] hrm. /something / is amiss.. if i try and open the system panel and add a user (wanted my wife to have her own login) it fails to open System - Users and groups - saying "your not allowed to access system configuration" [02:17] jasmuz, I tried to use the one that was already installed [02:17] sholsinger: check to see if it added /dev/snd/pcm* after that [02:17] Level_5: you need to load the module on your first run, so you can use it.. then its easy as pie just writing it to the normal modules at boot [02:17] mjc, thanks, at least its getting me closer -- i'll tell you if I figure it out [02:17] mjc: Negative. [02:17] mjc, Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory [02:18] ldiamond: doh sorry, you said it wasn't spidif. one sec for updated option [02:18] Jordan_U, I have the BCM4312 [02:18] mjc: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=856390 <-- think this guy's solution might work? [02:18] ldiamond: speaker-test -c 6 should do it [02:18] mjc, that works but I dont get all 6 channels. [02:18] Jordan_U, rev 2 [02:18] mjc, Only 2 channels work. [02:18] I'm trying to set up openvpn bridged, with a single interface...I think I need to set up a second IP, how would I set up an ip alias? [02:18] ldiamond: what do you hear for rear right, silence? [02:19] Level_5: and no results? [02:19] are there any apache tomcat packages or are ubuntu and apache having some beef at the moment? [02:19] sholsinger: you can try cat /proc/asound/cards to see if it lists it [02:19] mjc, yes (and the center speaker has some noise in it, as if the plug its is just not assigned to anything [02:19] I tried several things I found on the internet, and the interface (eth0:0) doesn't come up on reboot [02:19] Level_5, Have you tried installing b43-fwcutter yet ? [02:19] No I haven't [02:20] sudo apt-get update is how you patch and update your system, yes? [02:20] Jordan_U, No I haven't [02:20] hrm.. sudo adduser root. adduser: The user `root' already exists. [02:20] poop [02:20] mrpockets, no [02:20] Level_5, That is what you need to install for the built in drivers to work [02:20] esworp: use sudo for doing root tasks, don't actually make an account [02:20] mjc: --- no soundcards --- [02:20] ldiamond, so its not like yum update [02:20] mrpockets, sudo apt-get update is used to update the repository [02:20] kinda what i thought [02:20] sholsinger: hmm. lspci | grep ALC [02:20] esworp, Why do you think you need to be able to log in as root? [02:20] so how do i patch and update via cmd? [02:21] mrpockets, to update your system (upgrade) its sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get upgrade [02:21] i think that xfce needs to have a permissions problem fixed.. i just figured ... ;] [02:21] esworp: sudo chmod [02:21] Hello I have a HP laptop that I install ndiswrapper and a driver on will ndiswrapper reduce the life of this card? [02:21] !upgrade [02:21] or chown [02:21] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [02:21] esworp, What is the problem [02:21] i thought upgrade was from like, version A to version B [02:21] hrm. /something / is amiss.. if i try and open the system panel and add a user (wanted my wife to have her own login) it fails to open System - Users and groups - saying "your not allowed to access system configuration" [02:21] After I added "universe" to the end of the line in /etc/apt/sources.list, I could now see and install the "perlmagick" package, but I still don't see the "python-pythonmagick" package, for some reason. [02:21] mjc: Nothing. It shows up as: 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) [02:21] esworp: you are not part of the wheel group on that user then [02:22] evilGUI: what? [02:22] sholsinger: ahh. hmm [02:22] its for that as well [02:22] mrpockets, its for that as well [02:22] sholsinger: try snd-atiixp [02:22] wheel user.. (eyes glaze over) [02:22] jasmuz: Sorry for all the typos, will ndiswrapper in any way kill this card I have heard of people having this card die in Ubuntu. [02:22] !upgrade > mrpockets [02:22] mrpockets, please see my private message [02:22] need to use the google on the internet machine [02:22] thanks man [02:22] whats a channel for tech help? failing at install flash on my 64amd.. [02:23] esworp: on your account, do sudo usermod -G wheel wifesusername [02:23] evilGUI: Answer me this, how can a wrapper for a driver kill the card? [02:23] jasmuz: ah your right [02:23] chestylarue: 64bit flash is not yet finished, you would need a 32bit version of firefox [02:23] mjc: oh.. i havent made a user for my wife yet.. there's only one user for now. [02:23] chestylarue: adobe has not finished it yet, but there is a version available on their labs site [02:23] evilGUI: it sounds like speculation to me.. i've used broadcom and NDIS before,.. and no issues. === jb_ is now known as j-b-r [02:24] jasmuz: Alright thanks [02:24] ldiamond: I will need to reboot to test 6ch on my system. one moment [02:24] mjc alright [02:24] ldiamond: I have the same chip exactly as yours [02:24] evilGUI: you are welcomed. [02:24] mjc: unknown group wheel. (0_o) [02:24] i went to this site http://ubuntuzilla.wiki.sourceforge.net/#usersof64bitubuntu and pretty sure i installed the 32bits right [02:24] esworp: hmm.

[02:26] everything else seem to be working ok [02:26] Jordan_U, I have that installed...What should I do now? [02:26] sholsinger, I believe he did mean that [02:27] ldiamond: How is your realtek issue-solving coming? [02:27] is there a way to remote into another computer using the remote user accounts? Without a user having to be already logged in remotely... [02:27] sholsinger: yes [02:27] sholsinger: sorry :P [02:27] sholsinger, nothing works right now (2.1 channel only works) [02:27] ldiamond: wait, your sub works?

[02:27] sholsinger: sudo modprobe snd-atiixp [02:28] mjc, well, the sub works cause I have a 2.1 switch on my speakers.

[02:28] i'm trying to install zsnes and i found that it is in multiverse repository supposedly I apt-get update and try to apt-get install zsnes and I get this error E: Invalid operation zsnes [02:29] baz: how about enabiling the Xserver in the other machine to accept incoming connections? [02:29] mjc my speakers allow a 2 channel input and copies it to all speakers (but thats not what I'm looking for) [02:29] hey all [02:29] Hi everybody [02:29] mjc: did the modprobe snd-atiixp, and checked: 'cat /proc/asound/cards' no dice. Checked: 'ls /dev/snd/pcm*' and still got no file or dir. [02:29] ldiamond: yeah I understand now I just wanted to make sure you weren't having a different issue [02:29] tropical_dude: hey [02:29] sholsinger: hmm. one sec [02:30] chrometiger: I just tried, it, and sudo apt-get install zsnes worked for me [02:30] I need some help, I did my homework, but been trying to deal with a "wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64" for a month or so [02:30] what do i do with the libflashplayer.so file? trying to install the 64bit flash [02:30] tropical_dude: Thats a 64 bit binary [02:30] hay wasap ppl [02:30] chestylarue, you have to put it in your firefox plugin folder, it will be loaded automatically [02:30] j-b-r: I cant get it to work ?? i've tried everything I know [02:30] ah ok thanks : D [02:31] lemme give it a shot [02:31] chestylarue_, its located in .mozilla/firefox/plugins (or .mozilla/plugins) [02:31] genii: thanks for answer, Yes I understand the problem, but cant find a good solution [02:31] wait. what version of ubuntu are you using chrometiger [02:31] chestylarue_, then restart ff, it should work [02:31] 8.04 [02:31] me too [02:31] did you sudo?

I swear, it stopped working after I upgraded my RAM. (which involved a reboot) [02:42] does anyone have anytime to help me figure out how to mount a usb drive with ubuntu 8.10?

[02:43] mjc: I kinda wish I had played with it before I wiped the installation (8.04) and upgraded to 8.10 in hopes it would work. [02:43] linuxbestos, my audio worked fine (in 2 channel mode) right out of the box [02:43] might anyone help me install some "open shit" software from source?

[02:44] ldiamond: I added it in my .asoundrc: http://pastebin.com/mf5ff373 [02:44] sholsinger: try restarting udev, since we modprobed the intel hda driver already: /etc/init.d/udev restart [02:44] mjc: how do I find out which kernels I have installed? [02:45] sholsinger: ls /boot/vmlinuz* [02:45] alex_: try installing build essentials first -- but also depends on what source you are trying to install -- sometimes on the page where you get the source they tell you what you need. [02:45] mjc: /etc/init.d/udev restart ? [02:45] yes [02:45] i have build essentials [02:45] sholsinger: that will force it to try to remake the devices [02:45] i'm trying to install jboss === error404notfoun1 is now known as error404notfound [02:45] linuxbestos, as I said, my sound worked right out of the box (in 2 channel mode). I wouldnt change the .asoundrc [02:45] chestylarue_: what's up [02:46] linuxbestos, but I havent figured out how to make surround work properly [02:46] it seems ubuntu HATES any kind of network/web programming software or service [02:46] mjc: message: loading additional hardware drivers [02:46] alex_-> jboss requires java jar files not c libraries eh? [02:46] sholsinger: anything in /dev/snd/pcm* now? [02:46] hi, I'm having a big trouble with a big hard disk: I'm getting I/O error if the disk is mounted for a while. Badblocks didn't find anything wrong. Already tried googling, but didn't find anything interesting. Any clue? [02:46] I've created a folder in /usr/src I want to copy files into that folder but I keep getting permission denied. tried to do terminal-> su - still denied [02:46] yes. i have java installed [02:46] chestylarue_: for cp, just put sudo in front of it [02:47] aquawicket what are the folders permissiojns? [02:47] chestylarue_: it should be the exact same command but with sudo at the beginning [02:47] mjc: no [02:47] owner is root [02:47] and jboss website provides me a tar.gz whatever it is [02:47] alex_: I would probably ask in their forums -- to find out what you need http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb [02:47] i did that, the file is on my desktop [02:47] i have the right path for the desination but i think im using the cp command wrong because i didnt point sudo towards anything i just typed in the filename [02:47] aquawicket not owner, permissions, rw ect [02:47] chestylarue_: so if it was "cp foo bar" it would need to be "sudo cp foo bar" [02:47] how do i enable root? [02:47] that route is the road to well. you know what the word is [02:47] chestylarue_: sudo cp ~/Desktop/filename destination [02:47] jboss documentation is the worst [02:47] help making an ip alias? [02:47] ahh ok thats what [02:48] how do i enable root? [02:48] alex_: also I found you need eclipse as well as JRE [02:48] mjc: I'm booting 2.6.27-7 already.

[02:48] todd why? [02:48] drwxr-sr-x ?? is that right.. [02:48] todd: why do you need to be root [02:48] ldiamond: I'm reading the HDA driver's source atm to see if there's something you can set in your alsa config [02:48] because im new [02:48] i have them. i just need to install jboss and do some GUI stuff in eclipse to configure it [02:48] todd: just sudo [02:48] it's very retarded [02:48] mjc: GIGABYTE GA-MA69GM-S2H http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ClassValue=Motherboard&ProductID=2579&ProductName=GA-MA69GM-S2H [02:49] j-b-r, what is the command to create the root user [02:49] aquawicket yes, so it means groupa nad others dDONT have write permissians, you will ned to change that if you want groupd or others to write to that dir [02:49] I found it --> sudo passwd root [02:49] todd: create the root user?

I dont mind getting rid of everything and installing something better (alsa seems kinda messed up) [02:50] You just... shouldn't do it [02:50] aquawicket: chmod [02:50] thanks [02:50] Sudoing works just as well [02:50] jboss was bought by some bigger company wasnt it? [02:50] What the... [02:50] i have to code my installation once again [02:50] alex_: also found this in ubuntu forums -- Howto install jboss - Ubuntu Forums [02:50] todd rm / and find out [02:50] lol [02:51] i saw that link half an hour ago [02:51] and it wasn't helpful [02:51] it just links to jboss website [02:51] ok [02:51] koshar2 [02:51] i did [02:51] what does rm / do?

[02:59] ok thanks, i thought i got ripped off [02:59] hhahaha [02:59] thanx guys [02:59] david_: it could be that speedstep is in use [02:59] david_: speedstep lowers CPU speed when idle [03:00] I think you DID get ripped off [03:00] what it that [03:00] david_: are you on windows or linux [03:00] ubuntu 8.10 [03:00] My dual 2.0 ghz shows two 2.0 ghz processors [03:00] david_: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep name [03:00] david_: that will tell you the model name and its real MHz [03:00] david_: my c2d runs at 600MHz at idle and steps up to 2.66GHz when needed [03:01] illbeatu: also found this for intrepid Ubuntu -- Package Search Results -- jboss [03:01] david_: model name is the way to know what its maximum speed is [03:01] I'm having a big trouble with a big hard disk: I'm getting I/O error if the disk is mounted for a while.

[03:08] well if I sudo apt-get install ta b tab I get a lot more than 2284 [03:08] http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/plugin.htm#download [03:08] ldiamond: any luck with gnome-alsamixer?

[03:11] STEELERS WON HAHA YEAH WOOHOO [03:11] sholsinger: ok, looks like because gigabyte changes the vendor ID on all the onboard devices, current kernels don't look for it [03:11] oh [03:11] version 3.0.5 and it says below that ubuntu canonical - 1.0 [03:11] Javier: That goes for any channel on irc. Ask your question completely and wait for response. Saying 'can someone help?' and then leaving does no one any good [03:11] So... I need to install 8.04 again? [03:11] phrostbite: Ok, then use packetmanager and dl Sun Java [03:11] mjc nop, now I added snd-hda-intel in alsa-base, I get different options in the mixer, but nothing relevant [03:11] mjc: So... I need to install 8.04 again?

[03:13] p [03:13] phrostbite: Just download that one called Sun Java Enviroment [03:13] mjc, right now I dont, I'll try something else, brb [03:13] koshar2: its still annoying as hell that he popup appears all the time. [03:13] phrostbite: something like that! Sorry for my english [03:13] mjc: you are familiar with the alsa packages? [03:14] so any ideas on generating such a listing? [03:14] Thats quite alright [03:14] any ubuntu development team members around? [03:14] sholsinger: yes [03:14] Please, someone, tell me how to make my soundcard recognize my gamepad! [03:14] sholsinger: my email address is at kernel.org ;) [03:14] phrostbite: Remember to get the stuff i recommend you to [03:14] maybe i should ditch rhythmbox for amarok just to test.

Using 8.04 hardy [03:14] mjc: ah, big shot in this place, eh? ;P [03:14] I already have the sun java environment [03:15] sholsinger: not in here, not necessarily. ;) [03:15] phrostbite: Maybe just install the rest to java then? Or searc after active-x in packetmanager [03:15] phrostbite: search* [03:15] sholsinger: first part of my email is my irc nick as well; should you have the random desire to email me, heh. [03:15] I did a search for active x and nothing came that I need [03:15] mjc: you're doing stuff with Reiser? [03:15] phrostbite: ActiveX is for windows only. [03:16] sholsinger: just various janitorial stuff, cleanups [03:16] sholsinger: missing device ids would be one such thing [03:16] Ok but there is a site that has the active x for firefox. or am i wrong about this site. http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/plugin.htm#download [03:16] mjc: I bet there is a lot of that to do ;p [03:16] Hmm, i think mine ask for active-x the other day i went netbanking, in firefox, linux [03:16] activex is just for windows afaik [03:17] sholsinger: yeah with over 1,000 changes per day it's a neverending battle. fortunately the code is 90% better now than a year ago [03:17] If you wanna know where I am at that it says I need it boostmobile.com under the ringtones section [03:17] thilmegil: try going into an earlier kernel see if the issue is reproduces itself [03:17] nothing i would even want, as activex is a huge security risk [03:17] phrostbite: I think maybe for older versions then? [03:17] sholsinger: lots of efforts to use machines to check for funky practices [03:17] sholsinger: I'm checking out the alsa-driver repository from git [03:17] phrostbite: Thats only for Windows versions of mozilla/firefox. There is no version of Active-X for Linux [03:17] mjc: code checker software? [03:17] phrostbite: Checking site [03:17] Well darn. Thank you anyways [03:18] Anyone know anything about using the 15 pin gameport?

[03:19] sholsinger: no job atm ;) [03:19] I am going to buy a dell xps m1530 today if I can. do people recommend using the 64bit installation? Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T6600 (2.2GHz/800Mhz FSB/2MB cache) is the cpu [03:20] what does shankapotomus mean ? [03:20] j-b-r: i fixed my sources.list but i still cant get zsnes for some reason [03:20] phrostbite: Working here [03:20] chrometiger: on 8.04? [03:20] datakid: if you need more than 2GB of addressable RAM, you should be using 64bit for both windows and linux [03:20] sholsinger: what is the problem with alsa? [03:20] hmm when i scroll over the ringtones I get a popup :( [03:20] yeah [03:20] mjc: No need? layoff? [03:20] Can you get any other packages?

[03:21] ldiamond: can you give me a screenshot of gnome-alsamixer ? [03:21] phrostbite: Maybe some flashplayer needed? [03:21] sholsinger: primary language of expertise is ruby [03:21] Where would I go to get that? [03:21] sholsinger: C is for fun at the moment [03:21] But i can already view flash files and stuff [03:21] (I am a kubuntu user but can't seem to join #kubuntu) [03:21] mjc, cheers, we don't really need that much I don't think, butI will be using it for video transcoding - I guess the question is is there a disadvantage to 64bit? [03:21] phrostbite: Then i dont know :-( [03:21] mjc sure [03:22] judgen: seems my 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) isn't working. [03:22] sholsinger: what problem did you have with alsa? [03:22] Sp0tKubuntu you have any thoughts on how I can sort this out? [03:22] phrostbite: testes other browsers? [03:22] judgen: see above ^ [03:22] Like what browser? [03:22] datakid: not really, 64bit has more registers... slightly more memory usage but RAM is so cheap [03:22] sholsinger: are you sure its not working at all... or is it extremly low volume? [03:22] mjc, did you get the file request? [03:22] mjc cool thanks [03:22] judgen: it doesn't even show up in /dev/ [03:22] datakid: basically if you install >2GB RAM you need 64bit to be able to address it all [03:22] don't some binary drivers have problems with 64bit? [03:22] mjc wider address bus actually [03:22] ldiamond: no, I don't do DCC [03:23] ldiamond: try tinypic.com or something :) [03:23] mjc, sec, ill upload it [03:23] koshar2: there are more registers as well [03:23] ok cheers [03:23] can someone please help me sort out some connectivity issues? [03:23] koshar2: that is what provides the general code speedup [03:23] Intel HDA isnt binary blobs. they are opensource. [03:23] mjc: I'm doing .NET during the day, and PHP at night :) [03:23] Gameport. Does anyone here even know what that is? [03:23] mjc, [03:24] http://ldiamond.net/ss.jpg [03:24] i love .NET [03:24] can someone give me an example of how to use sshfs? [03:24] ibeekman: Hmm, maybe banned? [03:24] ldiamond: try ticking the two input source ones [03:24] ldiamond: then do sound-test -c 6 [03:24] QWonder: In Nautilus: fish://computername [03:24] banned? why? [03:24] How can i create an ISO out of a folder ? [03:24] hay i just installed wine and when i go to play gta vice city it runs realy slow why?? [03:24] right now I am connecting through mibbit, maybe mibbit is banned [03:24] ldiamond: sorry speaker-test -c 6 [03:25] mjc: it can only execute code jsut as fast however , there will still likely only be <256 op codes [03:25] because I lost connectivity on my machine [03:25] which is why I am here, but no one has replied to me besides you [03:25] <_VIM_> ibeekman: try asking that in #Ubuntu-ops [03:25] <_VIM_> this really isnt the place [03:25] ldiamond: What widget is that HW monitor on your dock? [03:25] mjc, nop, still only 2 speakers working [03:25] koshar2: it can only execute 32bit code as fast as 32bit OSes can, but due to extra registers most code will be faster if simply recompiled [03:25] Nautilus cannot handle "fish" locations [03:25] what is ubuntu ops? [03:26] besides, I won't always be using nautilus [03:26] sholsinger, the temps or the CPU usage? [03:26] ldiamond: hmm. maybe try a regular kernel? from kernel.org, 2.6.29-rc3 would probably be the best bet [03:26] ldiamond: or alternately alsa drivers by hand [03:26] mjc only real benifit is being able to move bigger words in singe executions [03:26] ibeekman: You are using a proxy/gateway, maybe thats why [03:26] ldiamond: temps [03:26] My gameport no work. People can see this even? [03:26] apparently I'm a retard because I can't figure out the sshfs syntax even when staring at the man page but no one here can help me either [03:26] whats a good server to chat on here im new so i dont no what one to go to [03:26] yeah must be [03:26] mjc oh and the obvious fact that there is more mapable ram [03:27] sholsinger: the Azalia does not happen to be a alc888 or a alc882? [03:27] koshar2: dude no, there are 16 GP registers in x86-64 and 8 in x86-32 [03:27] so should I ask my network config question on ubuntu-ops? [03:27] judgen: it is a 889 [03:27] Gentlemen is there a "Ubuntu SERVER for Dummies" Book? just got a copy and I am at a complete loss in learning anything. [03:27] koshar2: they are also wider [03:27] <_VIM_> ibeekman: no [03:27] ibeekman, you can ask in #networking [03:27] koshar2: there are also twice as many SSE regs [03:27] sholsinger, I'm not sure, sec [03:27] judgen: same family of chips, though. [03:27] koshar2: doubling the amount of GP regisers is huge [03:28] sholsinger: i had alot of problems with 888 before, and maybe the same applies to 889, but i just used an older kernel wich solved the problem for me. [03:28] sholsinger, sudo apt-get install sensor-applet [03:28] sholsinger, sudo apt-get install sensors-applet [03:28] mjc the extra registers will be a product of dual core and hypervisor functions [03:28] koshar2: no, they are general purpose [03:28] judgen: yeah, that seems to be the answer. I think a kernel update killed it. 8.04 it worked out of the box. [03:28] I think it is (k)buntu related becaus it was working fine until I accidentally installed kwlan with synaptec [03:28] how do you install a .deb? [03:28] skate2 dpkg [03:28] mjc you can still only have one parity flag, one equil to flag ect... [03:29] ldiamond: thx [03:29] skate2: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb [03:29] or just double click [03:29] skate2: sudo dpkg -i [03:29] checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu [03:29] checking target system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu [03:29] checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c [03:29] checking for gcc... gcc [03:29] checking for C compiler default output file name...

[03:29] configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [03:29] See `config.log' for more details. [03:29] ibeekman: yeah try that [03:29] sorry [03:30] So my CD drive won't work when I try to install ubuntu so I installe ubuntu through Wubi which is what I'm using now. I have some space unpartitioned for ubuntu which im wondering if i can use this ubuntu to install onto? [03:30] !compile | chrometiger [03:30] chrometiger: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [03:30] thats a error i get when installing from source [03:30] koshar2: http://developer.amd.com/SiteCollectionImages/Articles/7662.gif [03:30] chrometiger: sudo apt-get install build-essential [03:31] how do you apt-get install something and automatically install all it's dependencies? [03:31] sholsinger: 17% done, bleh. maybe kernel.org has a mirror of this. let me check [03:31] mjc: wow, thats taking forever. [03:31] hay were should i go some small linux games?? [03:31] skate2: sudo aptitude install *whatever you want* [03:31] mjc ahh i see the r8 to r 16 registers, [03:32] koshar2: yes, that alone is a HUGE benefit for all aps [03:32] *apps [03:32] sholsinger: yeah about 300MB [03:32] sholsinger: found a kernel.org copy of it though [03:32] !dhcp [03:32] dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP [03:33] sholsinger: much btter, 2.1MB/sec [03:33] mjc i still think data troughput on the 64 bit address bus is the greatest advance with 64bit. [03:33] how can i see if i have dhcp server installed? [03:33] ok a tutorial for writing a script to rotate the cursor on a tablet says "xsetWacom set stylus Rotate CW". how do i tell it to rotate 180 degrees? [03:33] mjc: Thats more like it. [03:33] koshar2: it is, but it doesn't make as big of a difference for most uses [03:33] what's the difference between DHCP and NAT? [03:33] mjc: Its in C? [03:34] sholsinger: hm? [03:34] sholsinger: the linux kernel is, yes [03:34] where's the start button? [03:34] mjc: and alsa is part of that? [03:34] sholsinger: yes [03:34] can i install gnome on xubuntu??? [03:34] skate2, DHCP is the process of sending and recieving ip information between a client and a server [03:34] <_VIM_> yes [03:34] ddrane: lol it's the "applications" button on the top [03:35] it was a joke, but yea... [03:35] <_VIM_> micah_: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [03:35] sholsinger: git is version control, includes every change ever made to the source; I am checking out a copy of one of the alsa developers' branches [03:35] ddrane: ok good [03:35] skate2, NAT is the process of translating internal ip's to a single external ip [03:35] cool it should not slow my system down right?? [03:35] mjc: i'm familiar with SVN but i've never used git. [03:35] <_VIM_> micah_: that depends on your system [03:35] does anyone know how to alter "xsetWacom set stylus Rotate CW" so it rotates 180 degrees? [03:36] i only have 191 ram [03:36] mjc: I've heard a lot about git by watching /. ;) [03:36] micah_ didnt you say you had 500meg? [03:36] sholsinger: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8 linus' talk on git [03:36] what?? [03:36] <_VIM_> micah_: besides, these days Xubuntu is just about as heavy as gnome [03:36] hrm. i have to rummage through this open source software directory to find some .sh file located in some undocumented location so i can sh it to install the thing. can open source be any more fun? [03:36] micah_ ram earler [03:36] mjc: I'll watch that at a later time, I'm sure that it'll be better with audio. :) [03:36] sholsinger: also see randal's talk on git after [03:36] sholsinger: yes heh [03:37] sholsinger: 56% [03:37] _VIM_ flux is a LOT lighter [03:37] <_VIM_> oh yeah [03:37] well im haveing problems whith installing themes for xcfe [03:37] <_VIM_> cant argue that [03:38] mjc: You see this "turn down the lights" button in YouTube yet? [03:38] Sysinfo for 'SPOTLAP': Linux 2.6.27-11-generic running KDE 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3), CPU: Intel(R)Core2DuoCPUT7250@2.00GHz at 800 MHz (3990 bogomips), HD: 3/105GB, RAM: 785/2015MB, 124 proc's, 3.45h up [03:38] sholsinger: hulu started that. it's awesome [03:38] Whops, wrong window, sorry!! [03:38] sholsinger: no heh [03:38] <_VIM_> koshar2: i have just about all the light weight window managers installed :) well the popular ones anyways [03:38] mjc: Pyles17: I can't believe nobody else thought of that before. Although I've seen flash come up in lightbox before. [03:38] _VIM_ a hobbie of yours? [03:39] ldiamond, sholsinger you might also want to ask for more help in #alsa [03:39] mjc: word. Will do. [03:39] <_VIM_> kinda heh or just curious koshar2 :) [03:39] <_VIM_> I went back to gnome though... [03:39] sholsinger: your device id is not in the current kernel, 2.6.29-rc3 even [03:39] _VIM_: pure x is nice to for apps like xbmc [03:40] mjc: ruh roh, raggy. [03:40] Can I just take a moment to vent? I love ubuntu don't get me wrong but sometimes I feel like I spend more time MAKING it work than doing anything usefull with it [03:40] and ldiamond I'm not sure exactly how to toggle it if alsa-info picks it up [03:40] sholsinger: lol [03:40] hurray! i get to watch things scroll up the screen for 2 hours while my open source software installs yipee [03:40] Is there anyway to instal ubuntu onto a new partition from inside ubuntu? [03:40] Everytime I fix one issue that fix seems to break something else [03:40] Gameport, please! [03:40] not using a CD [03:40] mjc: sorry, the kids watched some today and It just popped into my head. [03:40] vince_ like my old datsun [03:41] <_VIM_> koshar2: well, i found myself using so many gnome appz, that I figured it' be best to just stick with gnome, besides my computer isnt that bad Dell 2400 2.4 ghz... Nvidia 5200, 2 gigs RAM i really don't "NEED" a light weight wm... === Fizban is now known as Steelflint [03:41] koshar2 : Seriously LOL. First it was eclipse. A kind fellow helped me get that fixed earlier [03:42] hi all [03:42] I've also been having issues with my sound comming out of the wrong cards. They all worked but were backwards.. I finaly just gave up and switched my out puts and it worked fine [03:42] when i copy a .desktop file to /usr/share/applications it is not listed in the gnome menu [03:42] any ideas? [03:42] is there an command to update the menu? [03:42] But THEN it decided to switch the outputs for my sound agian and now I have no sound in firefox when im viewing flash vidio's and it was working fine earlier today [03:42] vince_ it genrally comes down to the apps and hardware you use, the further you stray from the centre the more treaking required [03:43] its urgent, i need to know if firefox keeps temporary files of its downloads... [03:43] <_VIM_> yes it does [03:43] koshar2 : I have a prebuilt POS eMachine from wallmart. There isn't ANYTHING exotic in this thing other than a second soundcard [03:43] <_VIM_> i know for a fact Firefox keeps temp files of youtube videos [03:43] _VIM_ hardware is cheap these days, i use flux more for appliances [03:44] And every time I get it working right, It just inexplicably breaks agian for no apparent reason [03:44] whombat: the .desktop files are just short text files. you can edit them to make sure your icons show up. [03:44] what do i do if PCSX runs too fast [03:44] vince_ you should prolly blacklist the modules of the sound card you arnt using [03:45] koshar2 : Thats the problem. I use both [03:45] <_VIM_> koshar2: yeah flux is good for multiple VM's ... I use flux for my 2nd X server that I have on TTY 3 ... [03:45] or I would just disable the onboard one in BIOS and be done with it [03:45] vince_ why do you use both? [03:45] One soundcard runs my speakers another run's my headset.

[03:46] It was working FINE earlier today [03:46] judgen, it is already set up right [03:47] wonder whats new in xfree 4.8 [03:47] How do I find out how firefox is piping sound out because I can find no settings to control it [03:47] judgen, i thnk the menu doesnt recognize it on the fly [03:48] whombat: you can just right click the meny button and edit the menus otherwise [03:48] <_VIM_> durka: looks like you got a typo on '"deb' take out that quote mark on your /etc/apt/sources.list [03:48] judgen, i have written a bashscript that copys the prepared .desktop file to /usr/share/applications [03:49] judgen, wanna do it commandline [03:49] mjc: how's it coming? [03:50] mjc: I got no response in #alsa. [03:50] what do i do about this when i try to run kregexpeditor it says: error while loading shared libraries: libkio.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [03:50] <_VIM_> durka: did you get that? [03:50] alright now.. [03:50] I'm getting real pissed :( [03:51] so I just re-installed Ubuntu Intrepid, but I have to fix my Atheros 5007 wlan.... anyway, NONE of the links to madwifi are working.... [03:51] I've tried I swear to god every forum site there is [03:52] like, 2 days ago this worked, now it won't: wget http://snapshots.madwifi.org/special/madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007.tar.gz [03:52] hello, i've got a question... when i try to send an object via bluetooth a window pops and it says that the backend does'n support it [03:52] is it really open source if they require you to pay them for you to learn how to use it? [03:52] what can i do? [03:53] Baatti: probably because snapshots.madwifi.org does not exist [03:53] <_VIM_> illbeatu: who's making you pay ? [03:53] kitche yeah, well, where can I get the required madwifi? === KterinK is now known as dou213 [03:54] illbeatu: pay to learn what? [03:54] i pay with either money or with my life time. [03:54] both in prohibitive amounts [03:54] Baatti: looks like a problem with Madwifi's servers. You could ask them in #madwifi [03:54] in order to use. [03:54] !ot | illbeatu [03:54] illbeatu: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [03:54] * _VIM_ thinks illbeatu is a bit tipsy [03:54] hey [03:54] ok, thanks [03:54] ii installed madwifi yesterday with no problems [03:55] how do you edit grub? [03:55] bamhm182: GRUB's configuration file is /boot/grub/menu.lst. You can edit that with "sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst". [03:55] Baatti: you can't just do sudo apt-get install madwifi-ng? [03:55] illbeatu -> you have been whining for a few now, what is it that you are seeking? [03:56] no [03:56] i found the instructions on some website for installing madwifi, ill brb, try and find it, what architecture r u on? cause that matters, im on 64 [03:56] alright, thanks [03:57] just rambling/feeling depressed at having to use open source [03:57] how to change the permission on the soft link? [03:57] illbeatu -> this is not the place to do that, kindly visit #ubuntu-off-topic [03:57] if I've got Windows 7 installed to the 2nd partition on hard drive 0, how do I add it? [03:57] O__o: you don't you change the permission on the thing your soft linked to [03:58] illbeatu -> btw, even it it was propietary you also have to pay, higher too, try oracle stuff [03:58] i make a softlink in a guest account, how do i prevent the guest user deleting the soft link? [03:58] O__o: by changing the owner [03:59] ok [03:59] how to do that? [03:59] O__o: man chown [04:00] does ubuntu mess with my raw socket programming? [04:00] question.. my buddy has a system that is very limited on space, I just ran him through the installation process of some of the apps that I use (that he wanted) and we ran out of space on the main drive. is there a way to tell ubuntu to use the secondary drive as if it were part of / without doing some crazy old raid setup. He's running on a p3, 850mhz with 2 ide drives. [04:00] anyone famular with firehol? Looking to allow local network ips to pass through. [04:00] i was sending out things using tcphdr c++ library but it appears my tcp header is 0ed out even though i send all binary 1's through the socket [04:00] join #ubuntu-us-az [04:01] gaintsura: yes just mount the second driver as /usr/bin if you wish of course you would need to do some copying first really [04:01] O__o: you can't [04:01] illbeatu -> requires root priviledges to access raw sockets [04:01] yes i know [04:01] i am running my c++ file with sudo etc. [04:01] and looking at the outbound packet in wireshark/ethereal [04:01] anyone famular with firehol? Looking to allow local network ips to pass through. [04:01] mjc: how goes it? [04:01] is there any way to force ubuntu to stop messing with my outbound packets? [04:02] illbeatu: ubuntu does not mess with your outbound packets [04:02] can someone give me a terminal command that will get me a C development interface??? [04:02] are you sure about that kitche [04:03] spill -> NAT'ing you mean? [04:03] illbeatu -> what makes you believe ubuntu does ? [04:03] n8tuserf: well, I'm using dansguardian with firehol and tiny proxy, but now I can't access any of my windows shares with the firewall on. === C405129` is now known as C405129 [04:04] n8tuserf: I want to be able to give open access to my networked machines. [04:04] i send out a packet with all 1's. i see a packet in wireshark with all 0's [04:05] spill -> am not familiar with firehol, but basically it uses iptables, can you elaborate on your network layout ? whats connected to what? [04:05] I have a question, i'm using 8.10 for AMD64 and when using firefox the videos are returned to its start point after like 3 seconds... [04:05] npviewer.bin is taking a lot, rebooting or killing it won't help either... any ideas? [04:07] n8tuserf: I've got 3 wifi access points, one router with dns bringing in the cable connection. about 12 windows workstations connect to the network. I have ubuntu on my laptop. thats what I want to be able to see the windows shares. It works fine still I start firehole. [04:07] n8tuserf: I've got dansguardian filtering the net access using tiny proxy and firehol passing through one port address. [04:08] spill -> a drawing would give me a better picture [04:08] can some one please read this error log and pm with what im doing wrong im trying to install my nvidia graphics driver http://paste.ubuntu.com/112640/ [04:08] spill -> also which of these is the linux and acting as a router? [04:09] please pm me with any help [04:09] kitche, gaintsura i'd mount /usr on the second harddrive cause thats really where the bulk of the stuff is [04:09] n8tuserf: none, of them. the only machine running linux is my laptop. the router is hardware, netgear. [04:09] n8tuserf: I just can't access the windows shares from my laptop in ubuntu unless I turn off firehol. [04:10] spill -> then turn it off so you can access [04:10] n8tuserf: I need to keep it on because I am using it in conjuction with dansguardian and tinyproxy. [04:10] usser: well first you need to copy the old stuff on /usr over to the new drive [04:11] gaintsura, or /home you really have to do some analysis to figure whats taking the most space [04:11] n8tuserf: I just need to give a list of ips that have network access to and from my laptop to the windows shares. [04:11] gaintsura, oftentimes /home directory is the biggest cause thats where users store their junk :) [04:11] kitche, yes [04:13] Guys, I hate to say it.. Im going back to windowsa [04:13] vince_, good luck :P [04:14] vince_, i went back to windows twice before I finally got fed up [04:14] good luck though [04:14] usser: I will, Windows for all of its faults has never had one program just inexplicbly just loose access to the sound system for no apparent reason. [04:14] spill -> am not familiar with firehol, have you done any tutorials on how to use firehol? [04:14] good day === jordan is now known as Guest92472 [04:14] is there a way to get the 'installed date' of ubuntu, i want to know the date i installed the os [04:14] I have googled my butt off and tried about 20 different things. This is SO frustrating [04:14] Where can I get list of nice shell functions. Something like documentation of shell functions. For example: sed, grep and others [04:14] what partitions should i make for my ubuntu install? / /home swap? [04:15] vince_, sound is a mess on ubuntu, i dont know why they pushing pulseaudio, which is half broken. i really dont know [04:15] n8tuserf: I'm trying to make sense of it, I'm a bit of a newb, I was hoping for a quicker help :) [04:15] vince_, whats that program? === Guest92472 is now known as jedi06 [04:15] Im not even useing Pulse Audio! [04:15] n8tuserf: I'll keep plugin away though. :) [04:15] THis thing should be using the ALSA driver or OSS if nothing else! [04:15] spill -> no shortcuts, either know iptables or firehol [04:15] Agh, help, I did `rm core *` instead of `rm core*`, what should I do? [04:15] vince_, hm, whats the program? [04:15] usser : Firefox.. The flash video just quit playing sound === Bllasae is now known as Bllasage [04:15] neptunepink, ctrl+C fast [04:15] n8tuserf: roger that. [04:16] Everything else works though for some reason my outputs all switched around at the same time this was happening [04:16] usser: Uh, the command took less than a second. :P [04:16] vince_, did u install libflashsupport [04:16] THE FINAL COUNTDOWN IS NOW PLAYING IN YOUR HEAD [04:16] neptunepink, what directory u ran it in?

[04:16] hey, I really need to get on Windows tonight, but Grub won't let me edit it correctly [04:17] cakey why would you do that [04:17] i will be installing ubuntu 64bit how much would root need? [04:17] how much should i give to home? [04:17] jedi06, swap goes first, should be equal to the amount of ram, then / partition 20gb should do, rest is /home [04:17] jedi06: ext3, logical or primary doesn't matter [04:17] jedi06, /home goes in the logical partition [04:17] rww: What do you mean by terminal? I run the script in terminal but I lack of list of useful commands in the shell === mojo__ is now known as moj [04:17] usser: I don't show libflashsupport in Synaptic. I show flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound which is installed though === moj is now known as mojo [04:17] I've got access to the menu.lst, but every time I edit it and reboot, it just automatically boots Ubuntu [04:17] world, i'm trying to convince ldap on ubuntu clients not to default to using CRYPT for password encryption [04:17] jedi06: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/switching/installing-partitioning.html [04:17] Hey i am using ubuntu and i can hear the drum beat at the log in but once I sign in I lose all sound. Any suggestions on how to fix this? [04:18] usser: ~/ [04:18] I am having a problem installing things. It tells me to run "sudo apt-get -f install" to fix it but it only tells me that it can't authenticate certain packages and won't continue. [04:18] vince_, oh yea thats the one. [04:18] bamhm182, try hitting escape when you see something about grub 1.5 during boot. Should show you a menu [04:18] usser : Yea its in there [04:18] sancho21: see the message from ubottu right below "!terminal. Most messages in this channel beginning with ! are bot commands. [04:18] thanks nickrud [04:18] vince_, you running intrepid? [04:18] I'm not sure I edited it correctly though [04:18] realmatt, put the full output of the apt-get -f install on http://paste.ubuntu.com [04:18] 8.10 yea [04:18] Hey i am using ubuntu and i can hear the drum beat at the log in but once I sign in I lose all sound. Any suggestions on how to fix this [04:19] usser : 8.10 yea [04:19] sholsinger: checking through the source right now :) [04:19] neptunepink, oh no harm done then, it shouldn't touch your directories and couple of files have been deleted, should be nothing serious [04:19] it says to make your swap double size of your installed memory I will have 4gb of ram [04:19] usser: Not *too* bad... [04:19] I should make it 8gb of swap? [04:19] usser : Sound works everywhere else too.. I can load rythembox or any of my VOIP things. I can pipe out either soundcard [04:20] and this was working fine earlier today [04:20] jedi06: no that's poor advice [04:20] jedi06: 8GB swap is too big, I think [04:20] mjc: cool. :) [04:20] vince_, i'm sorry i dont know what to suggest [04:20] Sound work until I log in. What processes occur after log in would interfer with the sound? [04:20] how big? [04:20] $YOUR_MEMORY*1.5 [04:20] bamhm182, put a copy of your menu.lst on http://paste.ubuntu.com [04:20] so 6gb of swap? [04:20] jedi06: you can use much smaller than 4GB really, unless you want to hibernate, then use 4GB [04:20] if you have 4gb of ram gb swap is recommended [04:20] robs227, pulseaudio might just crash [04:21] no its running [04:21] robs227, try sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart after you login [04:21] I added title windows 7 beta (Loader) [04:21] root (hd0,1) [04:21] savedefault [04:21] makeactivechainloader +1 [04:21] jedi06: if you want to hibernate, you need at least 4GB. If not, anything up to about 4GB should be fine. One of my machines with 4GB of memory doesnt have any and is fine. [04:21] bamhm182: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:21] whoops [04:21] bamhm182, probably not overlooked, just no one who thinks they know what you want [04:21] 8gb of swap is recommended - i meant to say [04:21] !pastebin | bamhm182 [04:21] bamhm182: 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) [04:21] robs227, also sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reload [04:21] well 250gb disk i think i can afford a swap [04:21] i think it is sending sound to my expansion card sound card instead of on board [04:21] jedi06, laptop or desktop? [04:21] Wunderbar: lol who recommends it? [04:21] laptop [04:21] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/112644/ [04:22] 20 years from now people will be saying swap = 2x ram :/ [04:22] its like when I log on it sends all sound to the wrong output [04:22] hi all i'm ubuntu newbies i want to know hot to add xmms in to menu Sound & Video [04:22] usser: THis is just so D*&* frustrating. This is a BASIC thing how could they screw this up? I was having sound issues ealier today though it had to do with not being able to make the right sound go from the right speakers. I finaly just gave up and switched my outputs. Now its working on the outputs I wanted originaly and flash audio is broken. Its like this thing is deliberatly mocking me or something. [04:22] jedi06, use at least your ram size plus 100mb, so you have more than enough space for hibernate. Otherwise, 512mb is usually enough if you have 2gb mem or more [04:22] it was in the readme or something- swap paritition should be double the ram [04:22] sholsinger: I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for stability, but the topmost "snapshot" link on here should work at least for audio: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-unstable-2.6.git;a=summary [04:22] alright, so I entered http://paste.ubuntu.com/112645/ after ### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST in the menu.lst, is that right === arvind_k is now known as arvind_khadri [04:22] !xmms | blizzard_ [04:22] blizzard_: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. [04:22] Wunderbar: it's outdated advice that's found all over the place unfortunately [04:23] !info audacious | blizzard_ [04:23] audacious (source: audacious): small and fast audio player which supports lots of formats. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.5.1-3ubuntu1.1 (intrepid), package size 1133 kB, installed size 3848 kB [04:23] yes xmms2 [04:23] I've got Windows 7 installed on the 2nd partition of hard drive 0 [04:23] ok so when it asks do i put it 5100mb or is a do i need 1024x4+100? [04:23] Hey, I need some help. Whenever I try to watch a movie, the movie flickers - not the screen, just the movie. Anyone know how to fix it? [04:23] vince_, cant really blame ubuntu for flash, its proprietary, and adobe refuses to fix it or opensource it [04:23] i should just get a sound card with linux support instead of dealing with this bullshit [04:23] so what does jtaji recommend? [04:23] Wunderbar: I think me and someone else gave a recommendation ^ [04:23] realmatt, you're trying to install some stuff from outside the ubuntu repos? [04:23] alright boys going back on winxp late [04:23] sholsinger: if that does work, you should see if ubuntu has any bugs submitted for your motherboard, if not, submit one and mention that it works in e05bc71256ef2fcb219bf074daa5686e6f5a7662 at that url [04:24] BedPost: what is you graphics card [04:24] rww: I can't find how to use sed and friends [04:24] there [04:24] sholsinger: feel free to put me on the list of people to be notified for the bug as well [04:24] say [04:24] Hello all, I can't use my WiFi PCI card when using the server kernel [04:24] bamhm182, it helps to use a person's nick when you type; it helps keep it from getting lost. It's red in most peoples irc client when the line has their nick in it. (almost missed you :) [04:24] TheEdge_: Radeon 4870 (ATI) [04:24] Having an issue with Intrepid freezing - periodically freezes up, but I can still move the mouse on screen. Can't ctrl+ alt+del or bkspace to restart - need to hard restart [04:24] whoops, sorry [04:24] mjc: the last commit from Takashi Iwai? [04:24] sholsinger: if it doesn't work, drop me an email and I will see what I can do. are you familiar with compiling your own kernel in debian-like distros? [04:24] earache: This is because X sucks and should be avoided like the plague [04:24] less than 4gb isn't particularly specific [04:24] nickrud: I already did that, mplayer and smplayer [04:24] sholsinger: that sha1 string I gave you is the exact commit [04:24] or helpful [04:24] mjc: No.... I am not. [04:24] sholsinger: git doesn't use revision numbers [04:25] usser : Thats a stupid argument, no offence, you don't need access to the code you just need to give access to the sound driver and frankly after all the hastle Ubuntu's sound system has been giving me with everything else up to this point. Forgive me if i DO blame ubuntu [04:25] Bedpost: do you run with all on in apperance ?? [04:25] neptunepink: I'm an Ubuntu noob, any way to fix it? [04:25] rww: Thanks. I find a good reference url there [04:25] Do i put in 4100mb of ram or 4x1024+100? [04:25] bamhm182, a sec [04:25] TheEdge_: Err... kinda a linux noob here, could you be more specific? [04:25] 4196 or 4100 [04:25] sholsinger: ok, you can apt-get install kernel-package and copy /boot/config-kernelversion to .config in the source directory [04:25] usser : But thanks for trying to help all the same. I'm thinking I may just wipe this and start over.... I guess I just have to resign to the fact i'm not going to get any work done tonight [04:26] sholsinger: then make-kpkg --initrd --bzimage buildpackage [04:26] jedi06: I usually do slightly extra then ram, so yeah like 4200 [04:26] sholsinger: when its done it will spit .deb packages out in the directory *above* the kernel source [04:26] vince_, thats the thing linux devs keep changing with api, and producing nonsense like pulseaudio, should have just stick with alsa [04:26] realmatt, what's going on is: a managed file can only be owned by one package, in your case it's the license file. Where'd you get the kde stuff from? You should file a bug there [04:26] and you can dpkg -i linux-image-version-foo.deb [04:26] jedi06: assuming it's for hibernation purposes [04:26] usser : No argument there [04:26] jtaji i'm asking does it think that a gb is 1000mb or 1024mb [04:26] sholsinger: http://www.howtoforge.com/roll_a_kernel_debian_ubuntu_way has details [04:26] running inspiron 6000, ATI X300 graphics card - seems like a common issue, but haven't read of any fixes [04:27] Okay, I've got the matching hash id. [04:27] vince_, yea no problem good luck, hope you find a fix [04:27] nevermind ill put in 4196 [04:27] usser : is there anyway I can unupgrade something I did ealier? Now that I think about it I did a system update today and think some new Kernel headers came in. I wonder if that broke it. [04:27] bamhm182, that would be correct, if your windows partition is on the second partition of the first drive [04:27] to be safe [04:27] nickrud: the kde stuff should have came from the offical repos [04:27] alright [04:27] mjc: cool. This will be FUN :) but alas it must wait for another day. I've got your email. I'll put you on the bugnotify list. [04:27] realmatt, ubuntu official repos? [04:27] or should i make it a multiple of page size [04:27] let me give hitting esc another shot [04:28] vince_, you can boot into older kernel, press esc when grub appears, when its doing that 3 sec countdown [04:28] sholsinger: excellent. hope you get it worked out, please keep me updated on progress :) [04:28] bamhm182, you will see at least two entries, both for ubuntu [04:28] probably 512mb per page [04:28] jedi06: that's why I use a bit extra, so instead of 4096 (4GB) I'd go 4200 [04:28] sholsinger: you can grab the old kernel's source from 8.04 as well [04:28] mjc: do I post the bug in launchpad? [04:28] sholsinger: should work at least boot [04:28] jedi06: then I double check what was created anyway :p [04:28] sholsinger: honestly I have never needed to :/ sorry that I'm notm uch help there ;) [04:28] realmatt, you can confirm where it's coming from with sudo apt-cache policy kdelibs5-data [04:28] Are you talking about enabling PSE? I'm having trouble with that? [04:29] *I'm having trouble with that [04:29] usser : Mines set up already to do that for dual booting. I don't see the older option [04:29] jedi06: pages aren't the issue, but cylinder boundaries I believe [04:29] oh ok [04:29] sholsinger: generally when I discuss bugs it is at the linux kernel mailing list, but tis not for support :P [04:29] vince_, what kernel are you running 2.6.27-11? [04:30] sholsinger: alsa project's debugging intel-HDA page is here: http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Help_To_Debug_Intel_HDA [04:30] Firefox uses native form controls; these are ugly. How do I make it use the ones that are a part of it's theme? [04:30] ldiamond: you might want that as well, the HDA-Analyzer tool: http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Help_To_Debug_Intel_HDA [04:30] usser: Yeap AND I see in the history it updated a bunch of Pulse Audio stuff.. I bet thats what killed it [04:30] * nickrud thinks those kernel guys should do an hour or two a week of starter's support, just for some humility ;) [04:31] Is there some easy way to roll the system back to this morning? LOL [04:31] nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/112646/ [04:31] I have kind of an issue....I just installed EEEBuntu, My wifi card is not detected and the NDIS Wrapper wont install (Says wrong machine type)....any ideas? [04:31] realmatt, jaunty support is in #ubuntu+1 . [04:31] hello i have a question, a can't play dvd's or burn dvds, what can i do? [04:31] !jaunty | realmatt (and, you've got BreakAge :) [04:31] realmatt (and, you've got BreakAge :): Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [04:31] nickrud: ah thank you [04:32] mjc: theres a bugzilla, standard bug-reporting style is requested. ;) I'm at home there. [04:32] nickrud, it showed up this time, but when I clicked on windows 7 it says something along the lines of Boot Manager missing [04:32] sholsinger: excellent. :) [04:32] so swap is the first partition i should make [04:32] bamhm182, an exact error would help; but how windows boots is outside of my skill set [04:32] I guess there isn't [04:33] ... [04:33] hello i have a question, a can't play dvd's or burn dvds, what can i do? [04:33] maxride, I'd suggest trying in #ubuntu-eeepc , if someone is there [04:33] hmm, no help already? [04:33] maxride, just enough differences that it can matter [04:34] alright, I might be able to do my homework from Ubuntu, I'll just do it here and work on getting Windows 7 working later [04:34] nickrud, Thanks...they'd probably know a bit more about Netbook config in there.... [04:34] maxride, if someone is awake :) [04:34] thanks for helping though nickrud [04:34] bamhm182, at least you know grub is going to the right partition [04:35] mjc: would this be a device driver bug? [04:35] I'm not sure that it is [04:35] nickrud, I think that it may just be seeing that there should be something somewhere that's know as Windows 7 beta loader because I put it in frub [04:35] *grub [04:35] bamhm182, well, if you gave the exact error we'd be able to give you more info. Usually you get an error 17 or 15 if for incorrect parittions [04:36] Javier, could you give more details? Are you sure the dvd is working? [04:36] It doesn't give an error, that I saw, but I'll check once more [04:36] help how do i change my screen resolution? [04:36] than I'll report back, and than if we can't get it sorted, I'll do my homework on Ubuntu [04:37] it tells me the max is 1024x760 but i have a 19 inch screen... it is only reading the laptop's screen [04:37] nickrud: i can play and burn dvds in windows vista, its the only dvd drive i have installed (it's an LG) [04:37] anyone have a G9 mouse working with 8.10? [04:37] Sorry, I mean all buttons working? [04:37] How do I get the normal Firefox theme for other OSes? [04:38] Javier, ok, what happens when you insert a cd or dvd and close the door? [04:38] darius_: have you tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto ? [04:38] whabo, what video card do you have === Matt_S is now known as skeebo [04:39] Help how can i change my resolution even tho it only shows 1024 x 760 ... I HAVe a 19" monitor ... Help anyone? the screen fonts are too big/ and icons too. i just need to change the resolution to 1900 or so .. it is a 19 inch screen. THANK YOU [04:39] can someone here help me get my broadcom wireless card configured? [04:39] Javier, soooo many things to consider when thinking about hardware ;) [04:39] whabo, what video chip does you laptop have? [04:40] whabo: you can use xrandr [04:40] whabo: !xrandr [04:40] it is an old ATI built it .. the video card is properly recognized .... [04:40] oops [04:40] nickrud: the dvd apperas in the desktop [04:40] !xrandr | whabo [04:40] whabo: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 [04:40] thx [04:40] !xrandr [04:40] whabo: fyi - LVDS is the laptop display, that's not the one you want to mess with ;-) [04:40] whabo, the chip often has an effect: Like if it was nvidia, I'd just say use nvidia-settings [04:41] Javier, this is a movie dvd? [04:41] nickrud: when i try to play it whith totem, it says that there was an error [04:41] Javier, is this a movie dvd? [04:41] nickrud: yes a movie dvd [04:42] !libdvdcss | Javier (you need to get some extra software to read encrypted (commercial) video dvds) [04:42] Javier (you need to get some extra software to read encrypted (commercial) video dvds): For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [04:42] god damn it [04:42] nickrud: totem cannot play thes dvd, althought there is a complement installed that can manipulate it [04:42] nickrud, it says exactly this "Starting up... | BOOTMGR is missing | Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart" [04:42] my ubuntu LDAP clients keep setting non-MD5 crypt passwords for the LDAP users when I change it [04:42] my non-Ubuntu LDAP clients do not [04:43] Javier, that's a problem with encryption, most very likely: you need to install the libdvdcss program. https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html#dvdplayback has the details (that factoid is way too general) [04:43] anyone use banshee? [04:43] racarter, a little, yes [04:43] I'm looking for something to listen to music on linux with, i'm used to itunes [04:44] is there anything that will let me import music on a shared drive [04:44] nickrud, did you see my message? [04:44] bamhm182, that sounds like a windows error message to me. But, I'm no expert on windows [04:44] nickrud: but also when i try to burn a dvd-rw an error keeps appearing [04:44] nevermind [04:44] alright [04:44] Javier, one thing at a time. [04:44] all the music is in subdirectories on a shared drive, it looks like banshee can't handle that? [04:44] Javier, and telling us what the errors are, exactly, helps a great deal [04:45] racarter, shared as in how shared? samba? Never tried that myself [04:45] ok [04:45] yeah samba [04:45] smb [04:45] the smb part does not seem to be the problem, it's that the mp3 files are in subdirectories [04:45] i don't feel like recursing each directory manually [04:46] * nickrud is lazy like that too ;) [04:46] i just want to import all **/*.mp3 files in the parent directory [04:46] anyone know if hardware accel with the Intel G33 Express chipset is available? [04:46] Whats the command to completely remove a package? [04:46] how might i get my tablet rotation to work? preferrably with the rotate button [04:46] nickrud, I googled, it looks like it is something broken with WIndows [04:46] Cpudan80, sudo apt-get purge [04:47] either way, screw it, I've got a lot of homework, I really shouldn't have spent as much time as I already did trying to get this to work, later everyone [04:47] do linux users just not listen to music? [04:47] bamhm182, at least you know where to look later. [04:47] is there anyway to get an ipod to work on a linux machine btw? [04:47] nickrud: it gives me no name for the error [04:47] racarter, sure do, but I guess the people here at the moment aren't using samba for sharing music files. [04:47] is gparted included on a default ubuntu install? [04:47] !ipod | racarter [04:47] racarter: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [04:48] gaintsura: no. install the package "gparted" to get it. [04:48] Javier, what does it say? And, how are you trying to get the dvd to write? [04:48] guys with xrandr how can i make it recognize the external screen it only shows a star next to the LVDS 1024 x 760 .. can any one help me brind this resolution up for my external screen thank you. [04:48] bah, i hope i don't have to modify the ipod for this [04:48] apple is worst than microsoft in some ways [04:48] in a lot of ways [04:48] racarter, ah, which one? My nano 3d gen works great with banshee [04:49] I did "umount /dev/sdb" which unmounted my USB flash memory drive. how do I mount it back? [04:49] racarter: if it's not an iPod Touch or iPhone, it should work fine. [04:49] I had to unmount to change the filesystem to vfat [04:49] nickrud: i try to burn anything an iso file or music into the dvd, when i starts to delete the previous info, the window turns black and the application freezes [04:50] http://www.gtkpod.org/libgpod/ racarter just about every app uses this library, this page has the latest info [04:50] nickrud: THanks for the info [04:50] Javier, what application? It's hard to help without detaild info [04:52] Depressed, you can just unplug and plug it back in [04:52] nickrud: the app is brassero, it happens also with the sipler burner in ubuntu 8.04, the message that appears or hwo it think it translates is 'undriven error aborted' here's the log error : Error no manejado, abortando (brasero_burn_record burn.c:2270) [04:53] nickrud: I used mkfs.vfat and when I unplug and plug in back it doesn't detect it [04:53] I needed a vfat filesystem on it to make a bootable ubuntu installation [04:53] nickrud: it happens also with nero [04:54] Javier, sounds like it's a kernel problem. So, what error do you get when you try playing the movie with totem? [04:54] how can i make an ubuntu server (fresh install) advertise ssh under zeroconf? [04:55] Depressed, if it got written properly, you should be able to do sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt . it should be available at /mnt , and show up in the list when you type just mount [04:55] Ultraputz, #ubuntu-server is usually the best place for serious server questions [04:55] nickrud: it said mount: you must specify the filesystem type === Inc`` is now known as Inc` [04:55] I also tried mount -t vfat - no results [04:56] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb, missing codepage or helper program, or other error [04:56] i didn't realize turning on zeroconf was serious :-) thanks chief [04:56] Depressed, if it got written properly, you should be able to do sudo mount /dev/sdb -t vfat /mnt (normally mount can figure this out) [04:56] when i create my swap should i put it at begginning or end? [04:56] Depressed, then I'd guess that you have a bad write [04:56] is there a difference between "mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /media/home" and "mount /dev/sdb -t vfat /media/home" [04:57] jedi06, doesn't matter, but some prefer beginning [04:57] nickrud, or really anyone, I need to type a file that can be opened in Microsoft Office 2003, even a basic .txt file would work well enough, what app can I use? [04:57] Depressed, not that I remember ;) [04:57] Is there a way to batch rotate photos by selection? [04:57] nickrud: i installed this ubuntu yesterday it's ubuntu 8.04; what totem says is that it couldn't play the dvd althought there is a complement installed than can manipulate it [04:57] bamhm182, openoffice. Tell it to save as .xls [04:57] I need to format my USB with the vfat file system. what's the easiest way to do this? I tried google, I'm stuck on this for hours :( [04:57] isn't .xls excel? [04:57] so wouldn't it save it as a spreadsheet? [04:58] bamhm182, yes. I had a brain fart; I save many spreadsheets for windows users and just typed it by instinct. Save as .doc ;) [04:58] https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html this guide is saying make swap / and /home all logical is that right? [04:58] Does anyone know of a boot parameter for the ubuntu 8.10/8.04 livecd that points to filesystem.squashfs being in a non-standard directory? [04:59] Trying to get the G9 working, tried the link from earlier - any help would be appreciated http://pastebin.ca/1325073 [04:59] nickrud - any ideas? [04:59] bamhm182, be sure to use fonts that your windows users will have, so your formatting doesn't get messed up. saving as a pdf and giving those out will preserve formatting, if you can turn that in. [04:59] does it really matter? [04:59] I figured out how to save it as a .doc [05:00] Depressed, not really; I have formatted exactly one usb stick and it just worked [05:00] apparently the g9 mouse shows up as a keyboard as well [05:00] Is there a media manager for linux that wont upload duplicates to your mp3 player that anyone knows of? [05:00] jedi06: they can be either primary or logical, just making them all logical might be more flexible if you ever need to shuffle partitions around [05:00] so I'm confused on what to change and where [05:00] jedi06, it doesn't matter; I've used all primary, mixed primary & logical and all logical at one time or another [05:00] nickrud: i installed this ubuntu yesterday it's ubuntu 8.04; what totem says is that it couldn't play the dvd althought there is a complement installed than can manipulate it. [05:00] does anyone know of a font that both Ubuntu and Windows have? [05:00] Depressed: sudo apt-get install gparted, System->Administration->Partition Editor [05:00] so why do they make two different types [05:01] thanks. [05:01] I've got to go, later everyone [05:01] bamhm182: install msttcorefonts and use one of those [05:01] Does anyone know of a boot parameter for the ubuntu 8.10/8.04 livecd that points to filesystem.squashfs being in a non-standard directory? [05:01] emsenn: trying that now [05:01] Javier, for probably the same reason that it can't write. It's possible that your drive is having issues. the best thing you can do look for errors in the output of the dmesg command [05:01] thanks prince_jammys, I will do that later [05:02] without xinserama i cant do this [05:02] er [05:02] is it possible to set up xorg so i can drag windows between displays without xinerama turned on? [05:02] Javier, that is the record of the kernel starting up and finding all the hardware. you would look for your dvd in there ;( [05:02] jedi06: there is a historical 4 (primary) partition limit, to overcome that limit one primary is turned into an "extended" container partition which can contain further "logical" paritions [05:03] so its really a legacy and should be fixed [05:03] jedi06: logical partitions are the fix :p [05:03] mohadib: xinerama is almost totally deprecated now and doesn't work with many (if any) current drivers. [05:03] nickrud how do i know it's my dvd? what name does it have? [05:03] hahahha. Sort of like a gas pedal on the right and clutch pedal on the left is legacy [05:03] ok fine [05:03] You want to be using xrandr now. [05:03] jtaji, hey i didnt know that... the primary partition stuff [05:03] so.... im having serious issues with firefox [05:04] Javier, it can vary. You should see something about the name of the dvd manufacturer and the model. [05:04] nickrud: thanks. i'll check it now [05:05] Hi, I arrive newly [05:05] hi all, whats the best client for irc ? im using hydra but it doesnt do blinking when someone responds on the main chatroom [05:05] so now i have an sda5-7 no 1-4 [05:05] looks weird [05:05] Modjor, xchat is very popular [05:05] Modjor: Depends on how sophisticated you want, but irssi tends to be highly recommended [05:05] quassel181: anything else that can give me similar functionality [05:05] I glad to speak whit us¡ [05:05] i like having one big desktop streatch accross all displays [05:05] mohadib: xrandr [05:06] welcome mbmb [05:06] yet be able to maximaizxe a window to one display [05:06] quassel181: xrandr is broken for me [05:06] I don't know if it can do that or not, but xinerama will mostly just lock up your X now. [05:06] not sure whay [05:06] * quassel181 dunno [05:06] how do i figure out where my flash drive is in /dev/ [05:06] i have used xinerama for ever [05:06] works well [05:06] just the compositor for xfce doesnt work with it on [05:06] Anyone running a Macbook Pro 5.1 or the MBP Aluminum, and has multitouch working so I can actually click and drag things? ;) [05:06] nickrud, i used to have xchat but they want me to pay after a month use ? [05:07] ah [05:07] Modjor, windows? There's a free version, a sec [05:07] xrandr works now that xinerama is off [05:07] hmm [05:08] Gdnight === Suntzzu1` is now known as BigMike [05:09] i need help getting the latest version of a program, but apparently all it is is sauce code.

[05:10] thanks a lot nickrud [05:10] where does ubuntu keep the bin.jar files for mysql jdbc connectors? [05:10] Javier, googling the errors? There's no troubleshooting tree for the kernel that I know of [05:11] ok [05:11] so, do i have to buy a new dvd drive? [05:11] nickrud: do i have to buy a new dvd drive? [05:11] Javier, maybe. If you could borrow one to try [05:11] i'll try that [05:12] Javier, but I'm just guessing, I'm not at your machine [05:12] unused_bagels, what program (with link) [05:12] nickrud: thanks you've been realy helpfull, see you later,i've got to go [05:12] nickrud: teeworlds teeworlds.com [05:12] Javier, I don't feel like I've helped you much, but I hope you were able to get some ideas [05:12] quassel181: xrandr doesnt seem to work with multilpe video cards [05:13] just one card with multiple heads [05:13] I want to use version 5.1 and my buddies all have that. I'm incompatible. [05:13] or so it seems thus far [05:13] hey how do i do i copy stuff in a folder thats got a lock on it? [05:13] how can i use my samba ?? [05:13] nickrud: i've got anothe question, how come i'm able to burn and watch dvds in vista? [05:14] nickrud: can it be the driver?

[05:16] I'm building a custom liveusb, and am wondering if there is any way to force ubuntu, via boot parameters, to look in a nonstandard directory for /casper/filesystem.squashfs [05:16] Its most likely been raided and/or shut down again, skeebo [05:16] http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-613001.html [05:16] Can anyone tell me what Flash Audio and WINE audio have in common?

[05:17] mohadib: What am i looking for in Synaptic for that exactly? Should the restricted modules been updated at the same time? [05:17] Javier, yes, that's what I meant by hardware/software problems. Drivers are not easily changed [05:18] Brando753, root privileges maybe? [05:18] how though, how can i open a folder as root [05:19] nickrud: ok, thanks i'll see what i can do, i appreciate yout attention, bye [05:19] are there any guides for optimizing ubuntu for AMD64 and if any debootstrapping for i386 are recommended for some programs? === kenami is now known as KoLonJanoo [05:19] vince: apt-cache search `uname -r` | grep -i header [05:19] unused_bagels, I took a look at the source; it doesn't use a build system that I'm familiar with at all.

[05:21] mohadib : DO you want the output from that command? [05:21] vince: the output is the pkg you should instakk [05:21] install [05:22] thanks dude that worked :D [05:22] do you actually need anti-virus software in linux? [05:22] ThePlastikJesus: no really, it will overwrite lilo/grub so check for guides on google [05:22] like linux-hearder-2.6.26-restried [05:22] Brando753, no problem man, glad to help [05:22] vince: greap for restricted [05:22] i use debian and got my channels mixed up [05:22] lol [05:22] just apt-cache search (kernel-version) | grep -i restricted [05:22] mohadib : So I want the restricted modules from linux-headers-2.6.27-7-generic?

[05:23] though having the kernel headers installed is good too [05:23] vince: apt-cache search `uname -r` | grep -i restricted [05:23] so do you actually need anti-virus software in linux? [05:23] install the pkg it spits out ^ === schlort_ is now known as schlort [05:23] NE1 [05:23] I have a question. My machine is 64bit capable, should i go with 32 bit ubuntu or 64 bit, because lets say windows 64 bit has issues that some drivers dont work with hardware and so on. [05:23] tuxfan: not really, no [05:24] alrighty then [05:24] if anyone can help i would appreciate it [05:24] ninom: if you have no reason to use 64 - stick with 32 [05:24] i cant live without 64-bit :P 6gbram i have :) [05:24] ninom, although a lot of issues were fixed with 64bit ubuntu, unless you have more than 3gb of ram, i recommend going with 32bit [05:24] ninom: if Adobe would ever get their head out of the ground and make flash work for 64bit .... [05:24] i have 4 gigs of ram [05:25] then you have no choice [05:25] I upgraded automatically today and (unusually) an notification popped up. "What do you want to do about smb.conf file." I asked it to show differences between the files and I don't really know what I'm looking at. Would it be safe to automatically upgrade using the auto-updater allowing things to overwrite? [05:25] usser: even then, you can use the big mem hack [05:25] nickrud i found the source code. [05:25] Do NOT use PAE hacks to fix it so you can see 4 GBs [05:25] oh so flash doesnt work with ubuntu 64 bit ok, thats not good for me i need flash [05:25] ninom: it works [05:25] mohadib : I ran that command and then attempted to install the file it gave me. Apt-Get says I already have the latest version [05:25] usser: all 4 gigs of my ram are addressed and used with 32 bit lunix [05:25] ninom, it works but its flakey [05:25] ninom: it isnt as stable as some would like [05:25] flash works for me in ubuntu 64-bit [05:25] so you guys think just stick with 32 bit [05:25] vince: hmm, not sure why you are getting buggered then, sorry [05:25] ninom: i did [05:25] Adobe really needs to fix flash for 64 bit [05:25] mohadib, yea you can use like a server kernel or enable PAE on the desktop [05:25] because of flash and java appplets [05:25] Its broken on windows too [05:26] i am mostly using my computer for some music making, internet, and maybe office word and stuff like that [05:26] ninom: I would wait for a year or two beofre going to 64bit [05:26] Yes Adobe and Sun need to get together and jump on the 64 bit bandwagon [05:26] me too [05:26] mohadib, java is completely 64 bit nowadays [05:26] usser: not the applet or webstart plugin [05:26] Java is a little hoakey on the 64 side [05:26] anyway [05:26] the jvm is [05:26] I need to hop off [05:26] mohadib, cant for the life of me figure why there needs to be a browser plugin in the first place [05:26] you have to install a 32 bit apllet plugin and webstart [05:26] anyone here ever use curlftpfs? [05:26] I upgraded automatically today and (unusually) an notification popped up. "What do you want to do about smb.conf file." I asked it to show differences between the files and I don't really know what I'm looking at. Would it be safe to automatically upgrade using the auto-updater allowing things to overwrite? [05:27] Anyone else have any idea's why FLASH Audio and WINE Audio dosen't work with the new Kernel update? If someone could tell me how to downgrade back to what I had this morning that would be helpfull as well [05:27] usser: that was pre webstrart days [05:27] anyone else here using synergy? its awsome :) [05:27] webstart is replacing applets mostly [05:27] T1T4N1UM_M4N: indeed [05:27] vince: other audio does? [05:27] T1T4N1UM_M4N: I want to soon, once my HD's are actually set up. Any tips or hints? [05:27] T1T4N1UM_M4N, yep synergy rocks [05:27] guys, thank you for your answers, i was already ubuntu user with 32 bit but i didnt know if my computer would be faster with 64 bit you know, like if i would see a big difference. also why i left ubuntu i wasnt able to find any media center programs, to stream media over my wireless to my ps3 so i can watch movies on my tv without connecting it directly to my computer. [05:27] mohadib : I have 2 sound cards and everything else works fine with them [05:28] ninom: VLC streams [05:28] vince: you do run a sounds daemon or something? [05:28] esd or the like? [05:28] well not really its pretty simple to set up althogh the gui could be better :) [05:28] maybe thats buggering [05:28] is it easy to setup nathanhelp? [05:28] emacs vs vim? [05:28] mohadib : I did the update today, all my imputs got switched around and flash quit working. I just noticed WINE also is dead when I went into Ventrillo and its busted there as well [05:28] lol [05:28] what one is generally thought as better? [05:28] batcoder-7: nano!

[05:29] nano does not even have undo [05:29] i appreciate your help [05:29] cant i have it not drop into x windows [05:29] vlc streaming is good but sometimes can be a pain to set up [05:29] :) [05:29] just want to install it without X or atleast use it without X [05:29] i will see you on here again, because i might need help again. you never know [05:29] have a nice night guys.

I cannot connect with my ethernet :/ [05:46] therealnanotube: Im sure it would require generation of certificates and such to make use of OpenSSL -- similar to setting up apache [05:46] Kevdog: that's what i'm thinking too [05:46] vince: good luck [05:46] Kevdog: haven't done any of that myself though [05:46] my wireless works but is so slow, its not funny. can anyone help me with my ethernet? [05:47] therealnanotube: If you follow a cookbook recipie -- its quite easy for Apache at least -- have no idea about squid! [05:47] Kevdog: heh everything is easier when there's a recipe :) [05:48] * Kevdog needs recipe for life! [05:48] I'm trying to use Compiz to configure my desktop settings to a Cube. I tried using the Synaptic to find Compiz, and found that there was a lot of compiz already installed. I reinstalled it all, but I still don't have the manager in System>Prefs [05:49] sudo apt-get install ccsm [05:49] @baatti [05:49] thank you [05:49] therealnanotube: i am using the command ssh -D 9999 user@ip to connect to myself for testing the ssh tunnel. i set firefox for locahost:9999 in the proxy but my pages end up blank.. any ideas? [05:49] can someone please help? google is not working for me. my google-fu is beat. my ethernet refuses to work though I think ubuntu sees it :/ [05:49] emsenn: E: Couldn't find package ccsm [05:49] oh [05:49] Baatti: he meant compizconfig-settings-manager, but I would suggest simple-ccsm [05:50] at least at first [05:50] ahh simple-ccsm is what I meant [05:50] yuri_: Can you perform a basic connection through a shell first just to make sure you have an ssh connection? [05:50] Kevdog: yes, i can. i use ssh fairly often [05:50] heh, oh, thanks [05:50] what's the diff between simple- and reg? [05:51] simple has less options, but is easier to set up [05:51] I'm building a custom liveusb, and am wondering if there is any way to force ubuntu, via boot parameters, to look in a nonstandard directory for /casper/filesystem.squashfs? [05:51] I've got a bash script that I want to run at boot time (just after interfaces are brought up), where can I place this script? [05:52] yuri_: getting the same thing here... not sure if it will work with localhost like that... [05:52] therealnanotube: thnk its b/c itsthe same computer? or should i do something like 127.0.0.1 instead? [05:53] damn... anybody got a clue? I am clueless on what to do about the ethernet... clueless as what to do next :( [05:53] if you want to test ssh on your own computer, use 127.0.0.1 [05:53] * emsenn isn't sure if that's what you were asking about, but thought so [05:54] yuri_: Are you testing on the same computer? [05:54] Kevdog: yes [05:54] yuri_: try 127.0.0.1 [05:54] What are "stats" in Synaptic?: "This package contains the Wireless tools, used to manipulate the Linux Wireless Extensions. The Wireless Extension is an interface allowing you to set Wireless LAN specific parameters and get the specific stats." [05:54] Kevdog: already have. same result [05:55] yuri_: I remember reading a problem with the loopback address somewhere! [05:55] Kevdog: therealnanotube: ill try it from work tomorow. thanks for your help [05:56] yuri_: You got another computer on the local LAN to try it with? [05:56] I recently went to compile a file (for simplicity's sake: file.c). The command was a standard compile command (gcc file.c). The c file itself has no flaws (copied and pasted from a textbook as an example). It failed to compile because it could not find and . I was under the impression that ubuntu had gcc included in it by default. So i ran the command "sudo apt-get install gcc", and it said I had the latest version of [05:58] Kevdog: i do but i need to get to sleep [05:58] AbsZero: What did you list as include statements? [05:58] Kevdog: ill let you know how it goes [05:58] yuri_: If we ever meet again, let me know, I'm not around here on the irc too much! [05:58] AbsZero: it's not installed by default... install build-essential will grab gcc and the c libraries [05:58] Kevdog: me neither [05:58] so the way to install stuff in any linux, including ubuntu is to untar the tar.gz file, go to the bin directory and run sh on the install file? [05:59] Kevdog: oh well, you never knoiw [05:59] greetings to all, I've installed ubuntu for the first time and could use a little help. [05:59] I've managed to create two installs on two partitions. now I want to remove one of them. [05:59] no.name_24@yahoo.com [05:59] cfdisk should be able to do that for me but I don't know how to find out which partition the ubuntu server is actually running on. [05:59] alex_: no normally you use the distro's package management === stooj_ is now known as StooJ [05:59] alex_: it depends. The usual syntax is ./configure, make, sudo make install however this could be different depending on the package [05:59] I messed around with my partition manager and I "unallocated" my data somehow. how do I bring it back ? I get error 22 in grub loader. [06:01] distro's package management for mysql is lacking [06:01] i need all the jar files [06:01] and everything else [06:01] Hi - Can someone tell the (2) two key combination to select all files in a list? In windows same idea would be " Ctrl + Shift " ? [06:01] alex_: What are you trying to install? Have you used the apt-cache search command? [06:02] i'm trying to set up mysql-connector using jdbc [06:02] ctrl-A? [06:02] nite_johnboy: in windows it would be "Ctrl+A" [06:02] I have a file thats AMR-audio, how can I open that? [06:02] Kevdog: yuri_: hm, just tried with some remote servers... and also just getting the blank page. so it's not the local loopback bit that's the problem... [06:02] Lucifer_Cat; Thank you ..... [06:03] Depressed: Not very likely, sorry... never mess with existing partitions ;) [06:03] I've Removed Pulse Audio, I've switched back to the old Kernal, I've done EVERYTHING I can find on google and in the forums. Why won't this WORK!?!? *sob* [06:03] rakudave: am I dead? [06:03] Lucifer_Cat; Yup - that definitely does - thanks again..... [06:03] Depressed: not yet [06:04] * does it [06:04] jtaji: Thanks for your response! I didn't know they weren't installed by default. Will a "sudo apt-get build-essential" or "sudo apt-get gcc-build-essential" do, perhaps? [06:04] youre welcome nite_johnboy [06:04] hey is there a format comand like there is in windows? [06:04] Brando753: look into mkfs [06:04] AbsZero: apt-get install build-essential [06:04] Depressed: you could try some forensic data recovery cd's, but I have no experience with that... use google ^^ [06:05] Thanks jtaji! [06:05] what do i type exactly into the terminal to reformatg my flash drive [06:05] therealnanotube: ?? Did you port forward 9999 or whatever port? [06:05] Kevdog: could be that ubuntu's ssh is compiled without this? or something else is the problem? [06:05] What are "stats" in Synaptic?: "This package contains the Wireless tools, used to manipulate the Linux Wireless Extensions. The Wireless Extension is an interface allowing you to set Wireless LAN specific parameters and get the specific stats." [06:06] DO you guys think It's worth it to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch? I absolutely MUST have flash audio. [06:06] Kevdog: well, i did "ssh -D 8080 servername", that created a connection from me to servername, and made localhost:8080 the proxy address. and it still returns just the blank page for whatever page i go to. [06:06] therealnanotube: I usually do this only with the dd-wrt router at home -- work tunnels to my home router -- and not to a computer behind the router -- [06:06] rakudave: you probably have an idea. I am trying to install ubuntu on my eeePC but it doesn't detect my hard disks? [06:06] what do i type exactly into the terminal to reformatg my flash drive [06:07] Tokr: try finding out by first placing some testfile in your root dir, and then go to /media/sdaX. If you find the file again in one of the folders, that's you root folder and you know which partition to delete. be carefull though [06:07] Kevdog: i know i used to do this before, back on dapper or something, and it worked exactly like this. something must have changed... [06:07] therealnanotube: Socks5 proxy checked? [06:07] Kevdog: yes [06:07] Depressed: A flash-drive, i presume? [06:07] Kevdog: If you're having some issues ussing the ssh commands, you could always try downloading "putty". It's a GUI based ssh client that takes care of all the icky stuff for you. [06:07] therealnanotube: Check the sshd_conf file! [06:07] rakudave the installation is from a flash drive, want to install on my hhdd [06:08] how do i do a flash drive reformat [06:08] Depressed: Try using easy-peasy (awful name, i know). It's Ubuntu for Eee's: http://www.geteasypeasy.com/ [06:09] Kevdog: well, i'm checking the ssh_config file (not sshd, since setting up the tunnel from my end involves only ssh, not sshd) [06:09] Brando753 same as a hard disk [06:09] Brando753: It should show up in the partition manager. If you don't have one, "sudo apt-get install gparted" [06:10] therealnanotube: Let me see what the stock sshd_conf file has! I need to install this on my ubuntu install (again I usually just use dd-wrt) so give me a second [06:10] Brando753 and what you type is relevent to what the device is === sleepy_cat is now known as c_nick [06:11] therealnanotube: Installing openssh-server [06:12] rakudave: that didn't work, but I looked in ..grub/menu.lst and found hda0,4. That could indicate the partition right? === c_nick is now known as dragon_flam === dragon_flam is now known as c_webkit [06:12] gparted wont let me reformat [06:13] rakudave: do you know a good utility to make a USB bootable [06:13] hey [06:13] anyone got an atom board here? [06:13] Tokr: yes, hd0,4 means first hd, _fifth_ partition (counting starts at 0) [06:14] Depredded use unetbootin but use an old one [06:14] Kevdog: let me know what you see :) [06:14] Depressed: There is one installed by default, the "usb-creator" [06:14] ill send you the .deb [06:15] yes but when I download the .iso I want to install through my USB, I haeve to make it bootable no? [06:15] Kevdog: i looked at mine, didn't see anything useful... [06:15] that will make a bootable usb drive form any .iso [06:15] what is this deb about? my DCC is broken [06:16] therealnanotube: Havent found anything yet -- got ssh setup, know I guess I will try to do a loopback to my own machine [06:16] hey how do i reformat my flash drive [06:19] hey how do i reformat my flash drive i cant seem to do it ;( [06:19] Brando753, did you install gparted [06:19] yes [06:19] Brando753: still with gparted. there is a dropdown in the top-right corner to switch from your hd to the flash [06:19] i did [06:20] i get a input output error when trying to format a dvd-rw to do packet writing [06:20] What are "stats" in Synaptic?: "This package contains the Wireless tools, used to manipulate the Linux Wireless Extensions. The Wireless Extension is an interface allowing you to set Wireless LAN specific parameters and get the specific stats." [06:20] Brando753: or try mkfs from cli [06:20] Brando753, then clik on device [06:20] !mkfs [06:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about mkfs [06:20] then you right-click on the partition on the flash and delete it. the you can create a new one by clicking on "new" [06:21] delete option is gray [06:21] cant click [06:21] unmount if first then [06:21] therealnanotube: Well I ssh'd into my own machine with dynamic port 9999 and then set firefox to use SOCKS proxy over 9999 -- everything worked -- I then closed the ssh connection -- proxy failed -- then restarted ssh connection -- everything worked again! [06:22] Kevdog: what exactly was your commandline, and what exactly did you set in firefox? [06:22] Brando753 click on device on top bar then create partion table [06:23] thx i just had to unmount it :d [06:24] see ya [06:24] ssh -D 9999 -C localhost (typed at the command line) Within Firefox - Manual Proxy Configuration - SOCKS Host - 127.0.0.1 Port 9999 [06:24] On a note completely unrelated to my previous query: Does anybody know if it is possible, without zipping it into an archive and password protecting the archive, to place password protection of sorts onto a specific folder/directory? [06:26] AbsZero: you could use truecrypt to do this, but beginning with intrepid there is some built in encryption protocol -- but I can't say I know how to do this - its some directory encryption option [06:26] hm, never mind... my problem was that i set firefox to use localhost for "all proxy types", not just socks. so apparently firefox "prefers" other types before trying socks, so that's why it failed. duh. [06:26] AbsZero: In Nautilus, right click on the folder. Click encrypt. [06:27] therealnanotube: So it worked from a remote machine however? and not just localhost? [06:27] help. does anyone know a good Windows utility to make a USB bootable I want to install Ubuntu from a USB [06:27] Hai guys, im installing i got a linksys wmp300n and when i do 'ndiswrapper -l' it says that 'bcmwl5 : driver installed'....BUT when i go to 'System>Admin>Wireless Network Drivers it says that bcmwl5 Hardware present: NO . also whenever i start up my computer i have to input the following command to 'initialize the adapter' I have ubuntu8.10 intrepid..any suggestions? I feel like that the adapter not initalizing has something to do with 'Wi [06:27] reless Network Drivers' not recognizing the hardware..any suggestions? [06:27] Kevdog: yes, remote machine. i didn't even try localhost-to-localhost [06:27] Kevdog: you want me to try that too? [06:28] therealnanotube: No - forget the localhost to localhost -- I did that. [06:28] edward: is that a usb device? [06:28] not pci [06:28] i had an old usb adapter [06:28] edward: so its usb? [06:29] edward: or pci? [06:29] thats taking up the wlan0 slot..and the forcing my pci adapter to comp up as eth2 [06:29] its pci [06:29] edward: good, can you post lspci -nnm [06:29] AbsZero: that's what's what folder permissions are for. you can take the read-permissions from the others and they won't be able to open the file. If you prefer stronger security, use truecrypt [06:29] ok [06:29] Kevdog: ok, well... problem solved. thanks for helping out. :) not that i needed an ssh tunnel... i was just curious. :) [06:30] Kevdog, http://paste.ubuntu.com/112661/ [06:30] therealnanotube: I don't tunnel often -- but its quick and easy. A lot easier than OpenVPN, however not as powerful since every application can be tunneled over the VPN [06:30] I'm the only user on my computer, but if I wanted to make it so that I would need to know the password for a file to open it (so that someone who plops down on my computer won't randomly open it). [06:31] its saying BCM43XG i thought i blacklisted it [06:31] Kevdog: indeed. :) [06:31] AbsZero: chown the file to root, that's the simplest way [06:32] AbsZero: ok then, you need to create a truecrypt archive. get truecrypt at www.truecrypt.org [06:32] edward: is this a wireless card? [06:32] yes kev dog [06:32] AbsZero: or you could encrypt it... but that's going beyond just requiring a password from a random user who plops down at your computer. :) [06:32] and it comes up as eth2 [06:32] ugh [06:32] heres my modprobe.d/blacklist : http://paste.ubuntu.com/112662/ [06:32] ubuntu mysql is blocking my binary install [06:33] AbsZero: and of course if you go with chown, don't forget to chmod it to go-rwx [06:33] i need to access the mysql connector files [06:33] where does Ubuntu store them? [06:33] where does ubuntu put the Ubuntu mysql install? [06:33] moin [06:33] I suppose a random user wouldn't know enough to use the chown command to change it back to me as a user...and even if they did, they don't know my sudo password. [06:34] edward: Why not use the bcm43xx drivers? [06:34] how can i check what rights are on a specific folder? lsattr is only for files [06:34] chmod go-rwx changes the permissions to what, all? Read, write, execute...And is that all? [06:34] AbsZero: that's a possibility, but as soon as someone walks by with a live-cd, you're dead. [06:35] rakudave: Probably not going to happen. I just don't want my room-mates being able to see and read password sets for various email accounts and websites, or other personal information. [06:35] so, how does Ubuntu handle mysql [06:35] it seems i can't find any configuration files related to it [06:35] AbsZero: that changes permissions so only root can access it. thus, you need root password to access it. [06:35] AbsZero, chmod go-rwx takes all rights from group and others === arooni_____ is now known as arooni [06:36] And I can change that at will as long as I know my own password...? [06:36] Is there a way to uninstall every package except the packages that are installed on a fresh ubuntu install? I was trying to use the ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-standard meta-packages but they don't include everything (ie firefox) that was installed by default. Is there a meta-package I'm missing? === c_webkit is now known as c_nick [06:36] AbsZero: but as rakudave says, that's fairly trivial to circumvent, if the attacker has physical access to the machine. the only "sure" way is encryption. [06:36] cuz i was getting the same issue with not automatically turning on wireless networking and detecting networks i have to run this command upon start: http://paste.ubuntu.com/112663/ in order to get internet [06:37] and it has to be pasted like that [06:37] how can i check what rights are on a specific folder? lsattr is only for files [06:37] and done twice [06:37] Quintok: well, I don't know about uninstallation, but I can give you a command to install some of those defaults [06:37] or the adapter just wont start [06:37] AbsZero: for something as important as your passwords, i'd suggest encryption. you could do truecrypt, or use a specially-for-passwords program to store them (i use 'revelation' to store all my passwords - it encrypts them and has a nice interface for storing user account info) [06:38] edward: Oh -- well in that case you are telling me you are using the wl driver -- and everything works after typing those commands? [06:38] temppy: thanks, I can probably work it out from there using synaptic [06:38] sudo apt-get removing mysql-server removes nothing. [06:38] yea it works [06:38] but when i type mysql, a ubuntu mysql thing pops up [06:38] How can I find cuesheet files on my Ubuntu 8.04.2 computer? [06:38] after i type that in [06:38] what is wrong with this stupid operating system [06:38] AbsZero: Go for truecrypt [06:38] and only then does it work [06:38] Quintok: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ [06:38] therealnanotube, can i get revelation on my ubuntu-server box? [06:39] I'll have a look-see at TrueCrypt I guess. [06:39] alex_, sudo apt-get remove... [06:39] i just did that [06:39] dou213: you mean no gui, console-only? [06:39] im so frustrated Kevdog :( [06:39] and it removes 0 package 0 update yada yada [06:39] therealnanotube, y [06:39] edward: I take it that you can't just type sudo modprobe wl to make everything work correct? [06:39] and i type mysql and it's still around [06:39] why does ubuntu FORCE it's own mysql on me? [06:39] no [06:39] the last line [06:39] dou213: in that case, no... it's a gnome-gui prog [06:39] starts the scan [06:39] for ssid's [06:40] dou213: i guess your best bet for cli is truecrypt, afaik it works fine in cli mode [06:40] i dont mind typing it..things would just be smoother than having to type my pw everyboot up [06:40] alex_, try sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server [06:40] but caution: it will del all config files regarding mysql === c_nick is now known as dragon_flam [06:40] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [06:41] therealnanotube, afaik? [06:41] !afaik [06:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about afaik [06:41] edward: Hold on -- don't despair -- you just need to tell me what exactly you can't do -- there is a fix! [06:41] alex_ perhaps remove mysql-server-5.0 ? [06:41] alex_, try to stop the service first maybe... see if that's running [06:41] see one the connection manager has wired netowork then wireless network underneath [06:42] unless i run that command 'wireless networks' doesnt come up [06:42] temppy: thank you [06:42] edward: Speak in english -- what do you want to do -- and what isn't working -- dont cry [06:43] dou213: afaik = as far as i know :) [06:43] np [06:43] therealnanotube, lol :) [06:43] i want to get my networkadapter working properly! everytime i boot up i have to type in those commands for it to work [06:43] I don't see any process that looks remotely like Mysql [06:43] in the System Moniter [06:43] dou213: hehe :) [06:43] i dont wanna have to go through those cmds everytime i want internets! [06:43] is it possible to get a shipit disk of 8.04.2 ? [06:43] edward: Ok, what if you just type in sudo modprobe wl instead of all those commands -- does it work? [06:44] Or do I just upgrade 8.04 LTS [06:44] im going to reboot [06:44] and test it, i dont think so [06:44] alex_, it won't be in the system monitor unless you go to view-> all processes [06:44] edward: This isn't windows -- you don't need to do that!!! [06:44] hello buntus [06:44] can somebody tell me how to check for directory attributes? [06:45] I prefer bunts [06:45] ls -la [06:45] Kevdog i know but thats the only way to see if the adapter is going to initialize itself! [06:45] nevermind, ls -la [06:45] oh thx :) [06:45] all the mysql stuff is sleeping [06:46] alex_, did you try remove mysql-server-5.0 as well as mysql-server via apt? [06:46] cuz thats my problem, it wont initialize itself upon startup [06:46] edward: What does lshw -C network show when you first boot up? [06:47] 2 minutes [06:47] going to boot up [06:47] and tell u [06:47] edward: NO --- what does it show now! [06:47] ooh ok [06:48] edward: quit rebooting -- this isnt windows! [06:48] edward: Don't ever reboot! --- [06:48] Kevdog: lol [06:48] ending the processes in the system monitor just crashes system monitor [06:48] "Ubuntu is available free of charge and we can send you a CD of the latest version (8.10 (Intrepid Ibex))" [06:48] Bah [06:48] is there ANYTHING in ubuntu that works :/ [06:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/112667/ Kevdog [06:48] edward: Don't ever reboot! --- Ok may that is extreme! [06:48] Not possible to get 8.04.2 ? [06:49] lshw -C network [06:49] rakudave [06:49] if I download 8.04.2 , will I be able to burn to DVD? [06:49] I have no CD-Rs [06:49] alex_, did you try remove mysql-server-5.0 as well as mysql-server via apt? [06:49] yes it fails [06:49] edward: lshw -C network [06:49] having trouble shutting down mysql [06:49] i wanna use gtalk in linux for voip [06:49] and i try to shut down from system monitor and all it does is CRASH [06:49] Name141, nope, but do you have a usb stick? [06:49] does ANYONE know how to do that? [06:49] Kevdog http://paste.ubuntu.com/112669/ [06:49] usser: no [06:50] Name141, ah, well theres ubuntu dvd images [06:50] hi! how can I restrict a repository to get only one specific package from that repository while doing apt-get upgrade ? [06:50] usser: isn't there a DVD version somewhere? [06:50] Name141, you can burn that [06:50] copy [06:50] alex_, did someone else mention trying sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop ? [06:50] usser: Where do I find that === latkahgravis is now known as latkah [06:50] How can I find cuesheet files on my Ubuntu 8.04.2 computer? [06:51] edward: This is very important -- Look at what you pasted -- and look for the section that states driver=wl -- that is the driver you are currently using. I have a feeling on boot it is probably something else, such as b43 [06:51] krz22: easiest way, if you are targeting only one package, is not to do an apt-get upgrade. :) [06:51] krz22: just do an apt-get install for that particular package. [06:51] Name141, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#dvd [06:51] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock [06:51] therealnanotube: thx, will try that [06:51] edward: Reboot now -- and then take a look at what it states is the driver! [06:52] before i type cmd correct? [06:52] hello [06:52] edward: yes, I just need to know the driver its being assigned on boot before you mess with it! [06:52] ok [06:53] brb [06:53] therealnanotube: thx again, it works! though, I'm still puzzled why I have to install when I want to upgrade :) [06:53] how can i create a user *without* home directory, aside from editing adduser.conf? [06:53] krz22: well, you are installing the latest version of the package... :) [06:53] usser: The latest DVD version seems to be 8.04.1 [06:53] krz22: glad it worked out for you :) [06:54] hello everyone .. I am having a problem installing pidgin on my system. I did an upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 and since I did that something happened to pidgin [06:54] ugh is there anything that is useful for developers in ubuntu? [06:54] i've been trying and trying [06:54] It tells me that I can't install pidgin because of it won't install libpurple0 [06:54] and ubuntu just sucks [06:54] in my themes it says this theme will not look as intended becuase the required GTK + theme engine 'ubunutulooks' is not installed [06:54] Name141, no theres intrepid are u in the US? [06:54] does anyone know how to get around this ? [06:54] alex_ what do you mean by useful? [06:54] usser: I also don't have the bandwith to download 3.9 GBs [06:54] like.. i want to install my own mysql from binary [06:54] usser: is it not possible to turn the CD version in to a DVD [06:54] and get rid of the crap that comes with ubuntu [06:55] their own mysql crap [06:55] Name141, you can try, although i' [06:56] Name141, i've never done it [06:56] dblitz: The only way I know how is possibly to uninstall pidgin and then reinstall? or compile from source! [06:56] suigeneris: use adduser with --no-create-home [06:56] Name141, you can try mounting the iso somewhere and making a dvd/udf image [06:56] O [06:56] alex_ what's wrong with it? maybe the learning curve (which isn't steep at all) is bothering you. you can make most *nix stuff compatible with ubuntu (since it's a *nix system itself) [06:57] dblitz: Upgrades do funny things sometimes like this :) [06:57] cause I think that since I did the update it did something with pidgin cause I installed ubuntu fresh on my other system and pidgin works fine [06:57] Yeah I figured [06:57] Name141, use mkisofs -udf image.iso /path/to/mounted/cdrom [06:57] usser: my computers are all windows right now [06:57] Name141, arggh [06:57] hehe [06:57] I may just clean up this system and do a fresh install [06:57] the way you get rid of packages is retarded [06:57] and 8.10 I don't like [06:57] If i wanted to install blender from the repos to have it all detected on my computer, but at the same time have the latest version of it, could i just replace all the contents with those that you can download from the site? [06:57] Cause I don't like having my system work like this... [06:58] dblitz [06:58] what's wrong with it? [06:58] dblitz: Do whatever you want, if you need to compile from source -- I have an easy guide to do this! [06:58] dblitz : www.getdeb.net - has pidgin 2.5.4 in *.deb format [06:59] Kevdog: heres the what u asked for +startup http://paste.ubuntu.com/112673/ [06:59] * Kevdog shudders at the old getdeb solution -- but that is just me! [06:59] in my themes it says this theme will not look as intended becuase the required GTK + theme engine 'ubunutulooks' is not installed [06:59] Name141, i don't know how to do this on windows [06:59] did someone see what i said [06:59] how do i install theme engine ubuntulooks [07:00] edward: so it is trying to load the b43 on startup -- that is a competing driver. Here is what I want you to try: [07:00] ah [07:00] hi, is the bash command "ls -d" meant to "just list the directories" ? I am getting an empty result in a folder that has almost a dozen... [07:00] edward: echo 'blacklist b43' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [07:00] i believe the one im trying to install is the optimal one for my adapter tho LInksys WMP300N, read it on the forums [07:01] dblitz, in synaptic manager, if you change "settings/repositories" goto "updates" tab, and choose "unsupported updates" it will automatically show pidgin updates available up until 2.5.2 [07:01] and you can easily update too [07:01] edward: And is wl isn't in the /etc/modules, echo wl | sudo tee -a /etc/modules [07:01] hi all, new to linux. installed it on my flash drive and works fine. then after a while, it no longer wants to store any more data. won't log chats, won't buffer videos from the net or save history, anyone seen this before? [07:02] ok [07:03] should i try rebooting now? [07:04] edward: sure go ahead -- and if it doesnt work I got one more solution [07:04] alrighty, ty really appreciate the help [07:04] brb [07:04] how do i manually turn on my lcd backlight? [07:05] it seem intrepid turned it off when i setup an external monitor [07:05] when you install a them where does it go? [07:05] theme* [07:05] you guys that setup a network printer, how exactly does that work? if i have 3 computers can i just print from any one of them or does a "host" pc have to be connected to the printer and TURNED ON? [07:05] (note: it's a laptop lcd that has lost it's backlight) [07:06] How can I find cuesheet files on my Ubuntu 8.04.2 computer? === rdw200169_ is now known as rdw200169 [07:06] Does anyone know an issue with amd 64 bit processors and ubuntu freezing? I am not able to get to the login screen and it freezes at multiple spots [07:06] How do I update gnome-do to the latest version? [07:06] I also have tried all kinds of ubuntu versions [07:07] sockets: Depends on your setup. Some printers have the networking built in. If not, then you need some kind of print server to be connected and turned on, which can either be a PC or a specialized embedded device. [07:07] cat /proc/acpi/video/VID/LCD0/brightness says it's at 100 brightness, which is wrong [07:07] i don't think ubuntu supports it yet so i can't update through the software updater [07:07] sock, network printers can use a server/host comp, but don't need it. just have it turned on and know its ip address [07:07] mavsman4457: Use Synaptic. [07:07] mavsman4457, use the gnome-do PPA on launchpad.net [07:08] lol has anyone dealt with flashdrive ubuntu before? need some help [07:08] bullgard4, mavsman4457, you want .8 right? i was talking to someone earlier that said the ubuntu repo's only had .6 for intrepid [07:08] can't save any more files inside linux but the drive isn't full itself!

[07:09] Is there a way to find out what is causing the freezing? [07:10] mavsman4457, yes, lemme get you a link right quick [07:10] edward: Is wl mentioned in /etc/modules? [07:11] how do i check that again, sorry [07:11] mavsman4457, https://launchpad.net/~do-core/+archive/ppa [07:12] HELLO it my theme says it won't look right becuase gtk engine ubuntulooks isn't installed where do i get that how do i know its the right one? [07:12] edward: cat /etc/modules | more (Use space bar to get to next page) [07:12] hey, dumb-sounding question - apt-get installed irssi but it doesn't show up as a command, nor is it in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin [07:13] http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Slickness+Black?content=73210 it is this theme [07:13] no wl isnt mentioned [07:13] bnagy: sudo update db; locate irssi [07:13] k 2 secs [07:13] nomingoo, you said that you installed ubuntu on a flash driver and it won't read/write to it anymore right?.. can you boot into it? [07:13] edward: do the following: echo wl | sudo tee -a /etc/modules [07:13] im in it right now lol [07:13] drive* [07:14] bnagy: irssi should install to /usr/bin/ =/ [07:14] update command not found - but I did find / -name irssi already [07:14] done [07:14] edward: Is blacklist b43 mentioned in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [07:14] i didn't say read/write, it won't save things like chat logs, firefox history(greys out back button), flash videos or install new programs [07:15] rww: yeah, that's what I thought. :( man pages are there and apt thinks it is installed [07:15] sorry sudo updatedb [07:15] bnagy: That's odd. What version of Ubuntu are you using? [07:15] yes kevdog [07:15] 8.1 but netbook remix thingy [07:16] nomingoo is it through live cd? [07:16] its there, i put it there myself Kevdog [07:17] rdw200169 should i add those sources as two different lines? [07:17] i think its a modified version of the live cd, like something about a persistent connection to the drive [07:17] Hi all, I'm running 8.10 here and I wanted to change the ownership of a file in ~/public_html to www-data (since it contains MySQL login credentials), but chgrp/chown tells me that the operation is not permitted. Why? [07:17] How can I find cuesheet files on my Ubuntu 8.04.2 computer? [07:17] reboot? [07:18] mavsman4457, you don't have to, you only need the deb line, not the deb-src line; the second gives you the option to download the source code. [07:18] edward: Here is what I want you to cut and paste to command line: echo -e '#wl/ssb/b43 workaround, added' `date` '\ninstall wl modprobe -r b43 b44 b43legacy ssb; modprobe --ignore-install wl $CMDLINE_OPTS; modprobe ssb; modprobe b44;' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/wl [07:18] Kevdog_: yeah millions of entries but none in anything that looks like bin [07:18] there is usr/share/menu/irssi [07:18] nomingoo did it work before? or did it just stop randomly? i'm looking up stuff and ubuntu via USB Flash Drive has this warning : "This method is non-persistant so it won't save any changes you make while running Ubuntu in the LiveCD mode" [07:18] done [07:19] bullgard4: use the find of locate command. [07:19] but that's just a menu entry looks like [07:19] bullgard4, you mean .cue files? [07:19] ph0t0nix, bullgard4 i agree w/ him, the locate command can do it [07:19] can you paste contents of /etc/modprobe.d/wl? [07:19] ph0t0nix: chgrp and chown generally need to be run with administrative privileges. Try sudo chown. [07:20] bizarre everything says it should be in usr/bin but it aint there.... [07:20] bnagy: sudo apt-get purge irssi && sudo apt-get install irssi [07:20] bnagy: that'll reinstall it; might help [07:20] rww: Ill +1 that!

[07:21] yeah it worked before, watched several episodes of my show. then it stopped, i've tried rebooting. and my mode does save changes btw... [07:21] ph0t0nix: I could be wrong about that, though. [07:21] rww: newp, still no luck [07:21] edward: reboot -- Ill be shocked if this doesn't work! [07:21] haha, ok Kevdog [07:22] ph0t0nix, rdw200169: Thank you very much for your help.

[07:51] anyone know of a ccleaner equivalent? [07:51] tv7497, maybe vista isn't supported? because i know 64 bit support is still a work in progress but my windows xp VM works perfect, i can't check the ram issue though since i don't have that much ram to begin with [07:52] !floppy | itai [07:52] itai: To mount floppy disks, see here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MakeFloppyDriveAvailableToEveryone [07:52] bullgard4, directly from upstart (the replacement for init) you can find what happens in recovery mode (as far as login is concerned) in: /etc/event.d/rcS and /etc/event.d/rcS-sulogin [07:52] hellhound_: man fsck.vfat [07:52] ortsvorsteher, thanks [07:52] sockets: what about free bsd sir ? i have lost interest in windows :D [07:52] rdw200169: I will study it carefully. [07:52] np [07:52] * ortsvorsteher is afk [07:53] bullgard4, yes, read the documentation for 'upstart' and the boot process for ubuntu. you will find much on this in the ubuntu wiki and on the upstart website [07:54] tv7497 : try this recommendation (still use the lastest 2.1.2 though, try 1.6.2 if all else fails) - http://fixunix.com/freebsd/539022-re-virtualbox-2-0-2-freebsd-7-x64-guest-install-crashes.html [07:55] sockets: thank you sir thanks a lot [07:55] sockets: what about my qestion :) - two empty directories in 'lost+found' - is it bad [07:55] ortsvorsteher, thanks but still get Unable to mount location [07:55] I have a hopefully very easy info question if anyone has a second. [07:56] rww: if you're interested, removing and DLing from main repo worked. My fastest repo's copy must be broken or something weird [07:56] weird [07:56] mmm4m5m, no there's nothing wrong with that [07:56] I seriously need a sanity check: does this look like a good way to do incremental backups http://pastebin.com/m328f0cd3 [07:57] sockets: good to know. thank you. [07:58] ph0t0nix: hummm i do not think I am doing it right I typed "sudo dosfsck -a /dev/sda1" but I can not tell that it did anything since the output was instant "dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN Cluster size is zero" [08:00] arvind_khadri, nope...i guess the disc is dead [08:01] hellhound_: hmm... That's not what I expected. And if you ad the -v -l switches? [08:01] hellhound_: ad -> add [08:01] Mean_Admin: I am not expert, but does not look good to me. It depends what results you want. Check #bash forum. [08:01] mmm4m5m: all right thanks :) [08:03] Mean_Admin: check rdiff-backup. I am not sure if you like it about music backup - compression will be useless in this case. Still, you will get time backups, you will be able to restore old versions. [08:03] wow [08:03] ph0t0nix: it get "dosfsck 2.11 (12 Mar 2005)" then "dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN" and then "Cluster size is zero" but according the MAN it seems i should see "exit status:" 0, 1, or 2 [08:04] mmm4m5m: for the moment, I will settle for a bash scrip that makes sense :S it's kinda backwards so it's weird [08:04] hi.. I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 and I don't seem to have any sound... would anyone have an idea how this might be fixed? [08:04] hellhound_: you can find oud the exit status of the previous command with echo $? [08:05] Mean_Admin: it looks to me, that you rotate backup folders in opposite way :) - backup3 to backup2, must be backup2 to backup3 (again, not expert) [08:06] mmm4m5m: actually, this is excercise of logic, not really of expertise so you're better than me there already, but I have a new iteration (http://pastebin.com/m4c59fa2b) [08:07] ph0t0nix: ok it said 0 so does actually work that quick? In windows this takes about 20 seconds or so... but this way seemed to be instant (not even one second) [08:08] hellhound_: Do you have only a few files on the drive? [08:08] I'm trying to install a program but it gives me the error "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libqt4-core" anyone know where to get this and how to install it? [08:08] odd.. it seems as if the sound when running ubuntu is very low.. where the sound in windows gets alot higher.. are there more than one place it could be turned down ? [08:09] ph0t0nix: yes there is hardly anything on it.... but just as a guess I tried another partition that is about 60 Gigs with 20 used and it was instant too [08:09] hi [08:09] hi [08:09] Mean_Admin: finally you do not need rsync. You will lost backup0 next time when you run the script. [08:10] hellhound_: hmm... I agree with you that it should take more time. [08:10] hellhound_: is the file system mounted? [08:10] is WORD "satisfiable" adjective ? i cant find dic.. [08:10] well backup 0 will be cp as backup1 [08:11] ph0t0nix: yes it is mounted [08:11] hellhound_: I think that's the problem. Please unmount it furst [08:11] hellhound_: furst -> first === alkasdkfjl is now known as fooo [08:12] hellhound_: since you cannot make changes to a mounted fs. === fooo is now known as roaoni [08:12] ph0t0nix: same result on both drives [08:12] Mean_Admin: what about simple tar (date/time in dest file name), something like: tar /media/timevault/Music.$(date).backup0' /media/library/Music [08:12] mmm4m5m: maybe that;s thew way I should roll.. [08:12] Mean_Admin: do not execute it, check tar parameters first :) pls [08:13] mmm4m5m: yeah that's why I come crying ehre [08:13] here* [08:13] hellhound_: I'm running out of options here... Anyone else has a good idea? [08:15] hi. my system says it cannot lock the resource /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 [08:15] while i want to update it [08:16] ph0t0nix: is there not a GUI app like system tools or something to scan disks and partitions for errors? [08:17] hellhound_: gparted can do it, i think [08:17] I have no other update programme open [08:18] hellhound_: e2fsck [08:18] mmm4m5m: his partition is FAT32 [08:18] hi, is there a way to delete an extended partion, without killing the partions inside of it [08:19] how does one enable touchpad in ubuntu? is there some option in system or do i have to edit xorg.conf? [08:20] mmm4m5m: the man says that is only for ext2 or ext3 file systems not FAT32 [08:20] test [08:20] alright, cool [08:21] hellhound_: Sorry. If you are interested: 'Ultimate Boot CD' (there are two versions in internet). Free live CDs with many dos and rescue tools. Sometimes, I use it for my ntfs partitions. Note, it is free, could be bad. [08:22] * mmm4m5m two versions = two different web sites [08:22] ph0t0nix: I think i found the problem .. it is not /dev/sda1 but I don't know what it is... I looked in Gparted adn realized that sda1 is an empty partition on my harddrive. === Toga30 is now known as ToGa [08:24] hellhound_: aha, that helps :-) [08:24] ph0t0nix: according to Nautilus the device is located at gphoto2://[usb:003,005]/DCIM/101CANON but what /dev/ would that be? [08:25] hellhound_: I should have seen that, since /dev/sda is usually not an external drive [08:25] is it normal for installation on vista to be a pain? [08:25] if it is mounted, you can use the mount command to find out which device is mounted [08:26] nvm fixed [08:26] hellhound_: 'ls -l /dev/disk/by-id' [08:26] mmm4m5m: okay, one last logic try (assuming hard link means file stays alive if at least one hard link remains), does this script make sense (http://pastebin.com/m5a250337) [08:27] hellhound_: Maybe http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p10.htm can also help you out [08:29] Mean_Admin: The same error like previous version. Check this: http://pastebin.com/m7c51f2b4 . Best ask #bash, you will find better solution and will learn something more. [08:30] mmm4m5m: oookay thanks [08:30] can i run ubuntu tweak in xubuntu?

I mispell the mysql user and I don't know where to change it in the dpkh configuration [08:36] ร [08:36] hi [08:36] xC: Ask #xubuntu (for me, looks like ubuntu tweaks is for gnome and gnome applications in ubuntu. Do you have gnome in xubuntu) [08:36] ไครเป็นคนไทยมั่ง [08:36] Giggles: movie -rating -year body of lies === Suntzzu1` is now known as BigMike [08:36] MeVsTheVoices: Rating: 7.4, Votes: 16031.

Check vendor web site (and google) how to install latest version (hope it is stable) [08:41] Is there a GDM editor or do you have to compile from code === tmi is now known as ChronosZA [08:43] has/does anyone else use Evolution and it claims to be sending emails from the outbox but never actually does? [08:48] hello people... am new to ubuntu am i in the right channel to ask for help? [08:48] sam1357: Yep. This is the place. [08:48] thank you flannel [08:49] hi sam u and me r newbies [08:49] * ChronosZA is going to beat evolution with a sledge hammer [08:49] try thunderbird [08:50] kgee : its downloading. just hope it can import the 2GB of email from Evolution :) [08:50] good luck [08:50] i have a desktop and a lap top. desktop's at home and laptop is in the place where i study.. unfortunately i dont have internet access in my study place... so my doubt is if i can install ubuntu in my desktop, customise it to my hearts content, install all the needed applications, update it, then create a bootable disk, so i can install the custom ubuntu in my laptop [08:51] hi kgee [08:51] sam1357 : you "could" set it up one the home pc and ghost/image it and restore it to the laptop. But I'm not sure how it will boot the new hardware. [08:51] hi sam [08:52] night all [08:52] hi chronosZA.. hardware wise ubuntu works well with my laptop..... [08:53] night kgee [08:53] is wireless working out of the box [08:53] kgee: ironic, im having my morning coffee :) [08:53] I've a little issue installing moodle on my system. I mispell the mysql user and I don't know where to change it in the dpkg configuration [08:53] i don use wireless... so it aint a problem at all [08:53] 9.53pm in n.z [08:53] sam1357: You can just install Ubuntu on each, then play around with the one you have internet access on, and then onceyou know what you want, you can sneakernet stuff over. Apt On CD makes it relatively easily. [08:53] !aptoncd | sam1357 [08:53] sam1357: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [08:54] kgee : aah, 10h53 am in ZA. i have a friend who just moved there. says he likes it very much [08:54] Flannel: didnt know that. very nice. thx. [08:54] ok flannel thank you... will remastersys help??? [08:54] za is that South Africa [08:54] sam1357: Er, that used to have a link. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/APTonCD [08:55] wireless is a big deal for laptops [08:55] will definitely give it a try.. [08:55] sam1357: I've never used remastersys, and don't know a whole lot about it. But I think it'd be more trouble than what its worth. [08:56] great. there is no option for thunderbird to import mail from evolution [08:56] ok flannel will keep you guys updated... thank you...thanks ChronosZA [08:57] before i setup an imap server locally just to copy the mail from evolution to it and then back to thunderbird, is anyone aware of a tool that might do the job easier? [08:58] ChronosZA: Doesn't Evolution just save it in Maildir on the disk? [08:58] Flannel : i think so? [08:58] ChronosZA: Thunderbird ought to be able to import a Maildir folder (or just use the Maildir, but I don't know specifics) [08:59] Flannel: yeah i see evolution stuck everthing in .evolution/mail in my home folder as maildirs. [08:59] hmmm. lemme create a profile in thunderbird then see what import options i get. [09:00] mardi [09:03] Flannel: it worked :) [09:03] Flannel: created the same mailbox as on Evolution, copied the inbox maildir from evolution over the one in the thunderbird mail directory and restarted thunderbird and its all there :) [09:04] whats up everyone? [09:05] how do you check if you have a 64bit ubuntu again? uname -a [09:05] Question: how to make NVidia rebuild automatically after kernel update. I have NVidia (9600GT) drivers NVidia web site. All works, except it does not rebuild automatically after kernel auto updates. [09:05] anyone know how to reset sound issues in ubuntu? [09:06] is anyone alive? [09:07] ryth: Reset to default settings or restart? 'sudo /etc/init.d/alsa... restart'. Sometimes does not work for me, so I have to: 'sudo modprobe snd...' [09:07] hello, anyone known how to convert CR2 files to jpg? [09:08] I'm pretty much completely new to linux.. I had it installed once on this computer before with 8.04 and the sound never gave me any problems. I just installed 8.10 and sound isn't working... [09:08] How long should I let the ubuntu alternate installer sit at "preparing to install gimp" before i give up? [09:09] my Father has vista and can't see pictures from baby 1 birthday :/ [09:09] mmm4m5m: what is the command again? [09:09] ryth: sorry, not a expert. Command will not help. I do use it after I play game and sound just stop. [09:10] ryth: what you told is - sound not working after upgrade and reboot [09:10] I typed the first one and it says "sudo:/etd/init.d/alsa: command not found" [09:10] etc [09:10] hit 'tab' twice after alsa (I write there '...') [09:11] yea etc... sorry [09:11] k [09:11] trying again... [09:11] it must be alsasound and alsa-utils. Again I am not expert and looks like it will not help.

[09:15] oh no and mistake /sda3 [09:15] yes === lance_ is now known as Guest62019 [09:15] cynicismic no boot and broked. bunty no start === marius is now known as Guest29352 [09:15] you don't even get as far as grub boot screen? === rebel_kid is now known as Guest20992 [09:16] hello ppl, my ip changes each time I restart the machine, is there a way to stop that from happening? [09:16] yes grub but no booty boot boot [09:16] fanooz, are you trolling? [09:16] Guest29352 are you joking? [09:16] Light- no, and I resent that. [09:16] nope [09:16] guys how do i get or install gtk murrine engine or aurora engine in my ibex i need this to make my dust theme work [09:16] Guest29352 which IP exactly? [09:16] my external ip [09:17] Guest29352 your ISP will assign a different IP everytime you connect via DHCP etc. [09:17] Guest29352 you can't do anything about it [09:17] :( [09:17] Guest29352 if you want to be able to use your changing address get a dynamic dns service domain [09:17] do you get any errors on boot? [09:17] cynicismic fixed it. thanks [09:17] Guest29352, you could also buy a static IP off your ISP [09:18] :) [09:18] Light- he doesn't have to go to those extremes. Especially when he doesn't even know about dynamic and static IPs [09:18] fanooz: how did you fix it :) [09:18] the second option is better for me, thanks [09:19] Guest29352 why, what are you doing? === lance__ is now known as Guest55950 [09:19] cynicismic i just kept slapping my box until it worked [09:19] I need a static ip for my apache, cause if it changes every time I need to run the no-ip client every time I reboot [09:20] and i'm quite a newby to servers [09:20] lol [09:20] ermm. your ip is assigned by the ISP, apache doesnt really care. [09:20] it listens on interface ports. [09:20] no-ip cares hahah [09:21] Guest29352 er .. no-ip IS a dynamic dns service LOL [09:21] ? [09:22] hi guys, when i am closing files in vim until the last one, syntax will off automatically, why? thx [09:22] Guest29352, the whole point of no-ip is that it doesnt care [09:22] Guest29352: "When configured correctly, the client will check your IP address at a given time interval checking to see if your IP has changed" [09:22] Guest29352 you should get a better understanding of what is actually happening with apache and your IP address [09:22] Hi [09:22] :( [09:22] cool day [09:23] Hi there, i just did df and it says 100% usage on one drive, ive deleted loads of stuff via the terminal, but its still 100% do i have to empty the recycle bin or something(if so, how from the terminal)? [09:23] Guest29352: (not expert) looks like no-ip is not auto started after boot [09:23] On Ubuntu, what is the method to get the wifi (WEP and WPA) and commands to set it up (from CLI if possible) ? [09:23] Guest29352 well, go get a static IP from your ISP then. Get ready to fend off attacks though :-) [09:24] Guest29352 you can get a client that will connect to no-ip everytime your IP changes [09:24] Guest29352 hell, I could write you shell script that will do it [09:24] you could cron it and run it every 10 mins or so [09:24] Does anyone know how to get sound in Skype? [09:25] pump up the volume, pump up the volume [09:25] Guest29352: btw, when IP is changed, it will takes time to spread. If your IP changes every time and you do now want to wait, you need static IP [09:25] mmm4m5m that is true. Except I've found with ddns.nu they propogate out the address very quickly [09:26] mmm4m5m within 5 mins [09:26] Guest29352, fanooz: ok, my info is old :) [09:26] in my case in only takes a couple of minutes [09:26] mmm4m5m no, you are right for most dynamic dns providers [09:26] some take days lol [09:26] Guest29352 then what is your problem lol [09:26] Guest29352 all you want is a client that updates the no-ip dns servers [09:27] having to open the browser , login and update the ip each time i reboot [09:27] Guest29352: do you have no-ip package installed? configured? auto started? [09:27] that's a problem cause I reboot oftenly [09:27] desktop package? [09:27] Guest29352 I'll say it slowly. You. Can. Get. A. Client. That. Updates. Automatically. [09:27] Guest29352: are u connecting with a wireless router? or some kind of router? [09:28] n router [09:28] no router [09:28] adsl modem most likely [09:28] oh. ok so u need a client [09:28] Guest29352 hell, it's one of no-ip's features; Free dynamic DNS update client [09:28] ok, I'll google for such a client [09:28] Guest29352 you can get it to run either everytime you reboot or when your IP changes [09:29] Guest29352 it's on their site! [09:29] Guest29352: "no-ip" deb package (even with updated IP, if you reboot often, I will not be able to access your servers) [09:29] Guest29352: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/net/no-ip [09:29] when we do package update, is it true that only kernel update needs a reboot? [09:29] thanks guys [09:30] Guest29352 consider the whole exercise a learning experience. And I suggest you get better aquainted with what is actually happening with your server, it'll help in the long run :-) [09:30] mmm4m5m: is correct, although no-ip refreshes every 5 mins, that can be overriden by the cache servers in isps elsewhere, i know here in ZA they often set it to 10mins. [09:30] Guest29352 then work up to programming Berkeley Sockets in C [09:30] oh, what's that.... [09:30] :( [09:30] ChronosZA well, that was me. But don't confuse HIM! [09:31] fanooz: sorry. ill sit in the corner and shuttup. i need more coffee anyway :) [09:31] ChronosZA it's beer o clock here [09:31] :) [09:31] fanooz : where's here? [09:31] i have a permissions problem with an nfs volume, can someone help me with that pls? [09:32] remoteCTR1: maybe you could tell us a little more about what exactly is the permission problem [09:32] Guest29352 do you understand what we are saying? You need to run the update client every time you either reboot or re-connect. You can configure this to happen automatically. No need to do it manually. [09:32] ChronosZA australia [09:32] 8:30pm [09:33] fanooz: oh. yeah our beer is better here. sorry man :) [09:33] lol that's cool. I'd rather have worse beer and live here ;-) [09:33] scizzo-: i am trying to backup my workstation to an nfs mounted volume, if i do it as user i get access errors on the workstation (perm ission denied), if i do it with gksudo i get the permission problems on the nfs-volume... how can i solve that? [09:33] I installed the .deb [09:33] Guest29352: unless the website u wanna host is overly complicated, i would just invest a few $ in a hosting site on the net. they're cheap, and they are on dedicated lines so no ip hassles. [09:33] yo yo yo [09:34] yo. [09:34] ChronosZA yeah, but he wants to learn about it [09:34] no harm in that [09:34] remoteCTR1: pastebin what the mount command gives you [09:34] I want to learn stuff, nothin' more [09:34] \list [09:34] fanooz: linode.com :) [09:34] scizzo-: the mount command works perfect, gives nothing in return [09:34] ok, now I installed the client , how do I run it? [09:34] remoteCTR1: I don't believe that comment [09:35] Guest29352 it doesn't have any documentation? [09:35] scizzo-: well what do you want me to paste then? [09:35] scizzo-: in linux, no news is good news [09:35] remoteCTR1: what I mean is: Type "mount" only in the terminal......not anything else and pastebin the output [09:35] Guest29352 from the site: "Our dynamic DNS update client continually checks for IP address changes in the background and automatically updates the DNS at No-IP whenever it changes." [09:35] scizzo-: ah! hehe, sec pls [09:36] Guest29352 so once it's installed you are good to go [09:36] Guest29352: have u setup a no-ip account? [09:36] so once installed it does its job without any need from me to bother it? that'd be cool [09:36] Guest29352: i use that service, i run the windows client via wine after spending an eternity trying to get the linux client running [09:36] Guest29352 yep [09:36] scizzo-: that would be this: http://nopaste.org/p/aqKEHaZ5d [09:36] Guest29352 I do the same kind of thing with about 30 dynamic domains [09:37] ok, now I'm gonna reboot [09:37] well, fixed domains, dynamic DNS ;-) [09:37] Guest29352: it sends your account details every hour or so which will have an originating ip which will update the dns [09:37] wish me good luck hahahah [09:37] good luck lol [09:37] 'course I wrote my own updating client [09:37] we are not worthy [09:37] remoteCTR1: ls -d /backup [09:38] well I had to .. they are all on different companies [09:38] ok here's my puzzler [09:38] scizzo-: klaus@katana:~$ ls -d /backup [09:38] /backup [09:39] if i have running apps on an x server, then ssh in with x forwarding enabled, is it possible to make the already running apps appear on the forwarded x server without having to kill / rerun theapp [09:39] remoteCTR1: right I wanna know the permissions on /backup [09:39] ActionParsnip: with screen maybe [09:39] remoteCTR1: its stuff like thunderbird [09:39] what button of the keyboard is called "Meta"? [09:40] scizzo-: 'ls -dl /backup' [09:40] scizzo-: drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody nogroup 4096 2009-02-02 10:32 backup [09:40] hi [09:40] remoteCTR1: it locks the mail files so I have to release them by killing it then rerunning it and the app appears fine on the remote system [09:40] remoteCTR1: that explains a lot [09:40] !hi | Reese [09:40] Reese: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [09:40] ActionParsnip: yeah the only way that i know of to "resume" running apps is with the screen command... [09:40] thanks [09:40] scizzo-: the nobody nogroup thingie i guess you mean right? [09:40] remoteCTR1: hmm, i'lllook into it some [09:41] ActionParsnip: :) [09:41] hmm gotta take a large dump ... [09:41] remoteCTR1: i'd love that, or a web interface to the locally stored emails, either is good [09:41] remoteCTR1: well part of it yes [09:41] nice fanoox === marius is now known as Guest66592 [09:41] scizzo-: point is: if i use it as my nomral user. ie. klauis it works just fine, but i cant execute rsync as user as that as said before returns me "permission denied's" on my filesystem [09:42] won't work, the domain listens to the old ip [09:42] remoteCTR1: then use UIDs to make rsync not need sudo (maybe) [09:42] login in as root then remotCTRL [09:42] Guest66592: it'll take a while to get settled if its new [09:42] hello [09:42] Reese: don't advise that here [09:43] Reese: its 1. HUGELY insecure, 2. Very unubuntu [09:43] ActionParsnip: not sure if i follow...? [09:43] I run no-ip in terminal and I get this : "Can't locate configuration file /etc/no-ip.conf. (Try -c). Ending!" [09:43] Reese: eneabling the root account can severly damage system security [09:43] remoteCTR1: rsync is something I don't know much of...however my question would then be if its the source dir or the dest dir that gives the error [09:43] remoteCTR1: you can sorta make some apps not need sudo [09:43] Reese: and after all that dont change anything, alredy tried it... [09:44] is there a shortcut to get a terminal up? [09:44] hello everybody..I am using ubuntu server edition with automatic updates..how can I check wich packages have been upgraded? [09:44] right I guess so. Thats about the quickest way to do it though if it has to do with permissions.... oh in that case nvm then [09:44] hmmm [09:44] jordan___: if you look in keyboard settings you can assign one [09:44] jordan___: You can create a keyboard-shortcut with gnome-keybinding-properties [09:44] scizzo-: that depends on what user i execute it with; if as user then the local filesystem gives the permission denieds, if as superuser the nfs-volume mocks [09:44] jordan___: I use the «menu» button on my keyboard for terminal [09:45] jordan___: or install tilda and you can have one dropping from the top of the screen like in doom / quake / half life [09:45] ActionParsnip: umm within the sudoers file you mean? [09:45] i might as well use the windows key [09:45] since it doesn't do anything [09:45] remoteCTR1: not sure, i believe its something to do with UIDs [09:45] Hi, where and how can I intstall that Boot Manager? [09:45] wg habbie [09:45] jordan___: you can assign any key you like to it [09:45] where do i go to do that? [09:45] ActionParsnip: but those correspond to the usernames, don't they? [09:45] hi there... i installed some updates from synaptic yesterday and today I see the panels are not coming in gnome desktop [09:45] why ? [09:45] hello. Where can I find Wavelet decompose filter for Ubuntu (deb package)? [09:45] Because I deleted the Ubuntu Partition, but now I can't load vista. I don't have the install disk, and I can't re-install ubuntu. [09:46] jordan___: if you use kde, yakuake is the kde equiv [09:46] gotta go I have to get to sleep. [09:46] filter for GIMP [09:46] bye [09:46] Noob: have a look at supergrub disk [09:46] i don't know if i use kde i think i use gnome [09:46] Where can I just download the file to install it? [09:46] jordan___: if you have a bar at the top and a bar at the bottom its gnome [09:47] Supergrub disk? [09:47] Ok. [09:47] yes gnome [09:47] jordan___: sudo apt-get install tilda; tilda &; clear [09:47] I would have kept Ubuntu if the updates weren't so slow. [09:47] jordan___: that will run it, if you like it, add the tilda command to your startup [09:47] Noob: its a disk that you gotta burn and google is your friend man;) [09:48] jordan___: if you don't, uninstall [09:48] k got it thanks [09:48] Ok, thanks. Will that let me boot up vista again? [09:48] !symlink [09:48] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [09:48] Noob: its got some options with wich you can fix the master boot record to boot your windows in the future, yes [09:49] Noob: you will need to add a vista entry to /boot/grub/menu.list [09:49] ActionParsnip: he purged ubuntu [09:49] Noob: if you have removed linux you will need to fixmbr from vista cd [09:49] How do I do that? [09:49] I don't have the Vista CD, it came pre-installed on my laptop. [09:49] Noob: just use the supergrub disk that'll do the magic [09:49] Noob: if you no longer have linux on your system you are in the wrong place === MadMax is now known as Guest28125 [09:50] i can't seem to get sound from 2 programs at the same time, i am running alsa .19 from the upgrade script in the forum, is this an ubuntu problem or an alsa problem? [09:50] I am using ubuntu at the moment, I'm running it from a CD-rom. [09:50] Hey, is it possible when choosing "Open containing folder" in uTorrent to open it in Nautilus? Using Ubuntu 8.04.2 [09:50] raevol: you need a soundserver in order for that to work, basically ubuntu comes with pulseaudio [09:51] iPeter-: utorrent is a windos app yes? [09:51] you dont need sound... [09:51] remoteCTR1, do you think because i used that upgrade script it borked pulseaudio? is there a way i could check if it's working right? [09:51] THE FINAL COUNTDOWN is now playing in your head! [09:51] ActionParsnip, Yeah. [09:51] Noob: first of all please write the name of the person that you are talking to, second SUPERGRUB DISK IT IS [09:51] tenen ten [09:51] tenenen ten ten [09:51] tenenen ten [09:51] cakey: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:51] iPeter-: i'll have a look, i'm not sure its overly supported. Why didnt you use one on the billions of native clients [09:51] RemoteCTR1: Sorry. So, burn supergrub to a disk and run it, should let me boot vista like it did before I got reid of Linux? [09:51] raevol: look into your system/preferences/sound options and see what devices you have picked there [09:52] Noob: exactly [09:52] ActionParsnip, I think deluge is crap and Transmission is too, so best client what i have used is uTorrent. [09:52] remoteCTR1, i see, its set on auto, should i set it to pulseaudio? [09:52] RemotreCTR1: Thanks! [09:52] !torrents | iPeter- [09:52] iPeter-: Intrepid can be torrented from http://hr.releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Torrents for other Ubuntu flavours can be found at: http://it.releases.ubuntu.com/ (CD) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases (DVD).

[09:53] Anyone know of any good event based monitoring systems? When something breaks, I'd like an alert immediately, rather than on the next poll (like nagios) [09:53] iPeter-: ktorrent is similar to utorrent apparently [09:53] raevol: you can of course try and see what happens;) [09:53] I dont like of kde apps on gnome. :S [09:53] iPeter-: you are making a tonne of complication using a wndows client, lets see if I can find some nautilus goodness [09:53] iPeter-: im the same but vice versa [09:54] RemoteCTR1: Do I just burn the ISO Directly to the disk? [09:54] ActionParsnip, Yeah, well it would be good if it would be possible to open it on nautilus, but if not, i maybe can live with it (: [09:54] iPeter-: do you by any chance run mirc as your irc client? [09:54] iPeter whats wrong with transmission? i used to use utorrent through wine but i find transmissian great [09:54] Noob: err nope you neet to burn the iso, that is a cd file, dont just copy the iso to the disk that will not work [09:55] ActionParsnip, it would be possible, but i'am running xChat, Why? [09:55] Noob: if you for example use gnomebaker to burn there is an option in tools menu "burn iso" [09:55] iPeter-: i just find that folks that run utorrent run mirc too [09:55] iPeter-: makes me laugh [09:55] RemoteCTR1: Problem, if I take out the disk, Ubuntu will shut down as I am having to run it straight from the Disk. [09:55] Lol [09:56] ActionParsnip, I think xChat is on same level with mirc. I like of this. [09:56] Torrents are so 2008 [09:56] Usenet ftw [09:56] .. [09:56] :d [09:56] Ubuntu has to be so hard to get rid of, doesn't it... [09:56] usenet, is so 1979 [09:56] Noob: LOL well i am outa ideas then buddy... [09:56] Noob: not with a true OS cd [09:56] Dude. Retro is back in. [09:57] Didn't you get the memo? [09:57] I know, I love usenet [09:57] Well the DVD drive is refusing to open. This is so annoying. [09:57] hi there [09:57] why make something else if the old stuff works fine [09:57] after doing some updates the panels in gnome desktop are not coming up [09:57] Noob: actually it isnt... its more like windows is hard to insert into a dual boot configuration and even harder to restore when giving up the dual boot... [09:57] then again, bittorrent was made to spread load [09:58] remoteCTR1, that didn't fix it :( [09:59] raevol: something wrong there then... tryed setting pulse and then reboot? maybe something s stuck there... not so uncommon nowadays unfortunately [09:59] salve vorrei chiedere come faccio ad aumentare i programmi installabili con wine-doors [09:59] remoteCTR1, did reboot actually. could pulse be using the old version of alsa that's still installed? [10:00] raevol: as far as i understand pulse does use alsa but dont nail me on that [10:00] I've got my hands on my sister's laptop. [10:00] Noob: then burn it there;) [10:00] you per--her laptop [10:00] nvm [10:02] iPeter-: i cant find anything dude, utorrent is a windows app so would expect he windows file manager by default [10:02] iPeter-: windows apps arent that smart so I dont know how you can make it use nautilus/thunar/rox-filer/whatever [10:03] iPeter-: all i can suggest is a native app which will be more stable as well as use a tonne less resources [10:03] ActionParsnip, Okay, anyway thanks of helping. [10:03] Lol, reading here, does everyone hate Windows or something? [10:03] haha [10:03] Noob: its ok, it has its place [10:04] ActionParsnip, uTorrent wont take much of resources, i got enough good computer to run it without problems (lol), it have been working great so no need to change, yet. [10:04] anyone know anything about this issue? I can't get sound from multiple applications at once, new applications disable sound in already-running ones [10:04] iPeter-: its your system [10:04] (: [10:04] Noob: no i love microsoft, theyr cd's make nice wall clocks :) [10:04] Anyone know a good guide to symlink? [10:05] lorenzosu: man ln [10:05] lorenzosu: man ln for start [10:05] lorenzosu: its fairly straight forard, you create a link from somewhere to somewhere else [10:06] lorenzosu: ln -s /path/to/file/to/link /path/to/new/location/link [10:06] lorenzosu: the symlink takes zero extra space and the system will think there are 2 copies in the 2 positions [10:06] ActionParsnip: thanks... Will applications funztion "correctly" if accessing /path/to/new/location/link? [10:06] lorenzosu: its also good for desktop shortcuts [10:07] lorenzosu: sure, its transparent [10:07] ActionParsnip: Any risk in using it on NTFS? [10:07] lorenzosu: none as long as there is adequate access [10:07] lorenzosu: also if you symlink a folder, the folder paths will simply lead into and out of each other [10:08] lorenzosu: so if you 'cd' into a folder which is a symlink, then 'cd ..' you will be back where you started, not one folder up from the symlinked folder [10:08] ActionParsnip: Can you clarify this last point please? [10:09] ActionParsnip: Ah ok. [10:09] Ok, I'm getting pissed off now, my sister's computer can't burn disks... [10:09] ActionParsnip: Once it's set up can I have that symlink to the folder at every boot-up? [10:09] symlinks are persistent [10:10] I'm going to have to wait until my dad gets back now, which will take hours. [10:10] lorenzosu: so if you have a folder called 'mp3s' on an smbmount, you can put a symlink in ~/ so when you 'cd' into it you will be in ~/mp3 which is really a folder on the remote system [10:10] I am NEVER using Ubuntu EVER again. [10:10] lorenzosu: its like any other file, its there til you delete it [10:10] I'm all for open source, but this is ridiculous. [10:10] Noob: its not for everyone [10:10] Sorry, I'm ranting. [10:11] Noob: Try explaining your problem, there are people here willing to help ;) [10:11] Noob: removing the boot info you have has undone you, having a seperate boot partition of 10-20Mb can ease this [10:11] I plan on hiking and travelling a lot .. I am concerned about laptop with hard drive -- I am going to get this laptop http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=10009253&prodlist=celebros --- should I replace the HD with an SSD drive or will the HD be shock resistant enuff? [10:11] But I don't have anything to put in the partition, I'm going to try that supergrub thing. [10:11] If that doesn't work, I'm buggered. [10:11] ActionParsnip: Thanks, great explanation... [10:11] I personally think the guided / default partitioning is atrocious [10:12] bob123: Depensds how many times you plan to drop it :) [10:12] /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.24/Documentationm68k/kernel-options.txt: "This document describes the valid kernel options for Linux/m68k in the version mentioned at the start of this file." Where can I find an equivalent document describing the kernel options for Linux/x86? [10:12] lorenzosu: hehe good question, I tend to toss my backpacks around, hrm [10:12] !bootoptions | bullgard4 [10:12] bullgard4: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [10:12] bullgard4: theres a few there [10:13] Greetings. When i try to SSH into my machine, i get login and password, then it spits out "enter into CT 2270 failed" - then "Unable to open pty: No such file or directory" : i don't have physical access to this machine, but i can pass it bash commands and see the results and/or errors. it's been rebooted. [10:13] bob123: Depends on what you plan doing with the laptop, if for example you'll be downloading loads of photos you need plenty of space, and SSD still seems quite expensive compared to "traditional" HD [10:13] true [10:13] I guess I need to find the specs on the hd that comes with the laptop? see what it can take? [10:14] So does anyone know of any good monitoring software for Linux systems besides nagios ? [10:14] bob123: You might consider getting an external USB disk to keep separate from the laptop for backup and in a safer, better protected place (say in the middle of your knapsack with lots of waterproof etc. [10:14] ooh [10:14] Nom-: define monitoring === gabriel_ is now known as gabrielcz [10:14] I didn't think of that! [10:14] thank you lorenzosu awesome idea :) [10:15] eek I feel dumb [10:15] perfect solution [10:15] The basics to start with... load, memory, disk, etc... but i'm also chasing something that can be expanded to monitor other systems (like custom software we run) [10:15] bob123: Would help to know what your scenario is though.. i.e. knowing how you'll be using your laptop etc. [10:15] bob123: there is a lot to consider, i'd research lots before parting with any money [10:15] * bob123 shares a cookie with lorenzosu [10:15] Nom-: superkaramba [10:15] Nom-: conky [10:15] ActionParsnip: trrue true [10:15] bob123: or, for that matter, a solid-state disk [10:15] lorenzosu: I am going to europe and doing a lot of hiking and back packing [10:15] bob123: or even a USB flash drive ;-) [10:16] is there any way Intrepid is going to get a newer version of alsa soon? the lack of hardware support for my motherboard is depressing [10:16] but your idea of a usb stick is good [10:16] bob123: ActionParsnip is giving a wise token as well.. [10:16] bob123: swing by the uk and we'll go for a beer :) [10:16] Ah, I'm talking about monitoring hundreds of servers [10:16] cause it's easy to encrypt it if stuff gets stolen? [10:16] I'm looking for a publishing tool for linux, preferably GTK. Something like indesign.. Any suggestions? [10:16] bob123: If you come to Rome I can offer pizza + beer lol [10:16] hehe thanks ActionParsnip :) [10:16] fun :) [10:16] Which is why I used nagios as an example [10:16] ActionParsnip: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Common%20Boot%20Options: "This list is not comprehensive." Where can I find a more comprehensive list? [10:16] Hello all. [10:16] howtoo: Have you tried scribus? [10:16] lorenzosu, nope [10:16] hey you can get a small SDHC card can't you? isn't athat simliar or no? [10:17] how can I use on shell script with spaces!? [10:17] !scribus [10:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about scribus [10:17] I reccomend AbiWord, if that's what you want. [10:17] I mean, I need to use a name with spaces on shell script... [10:17] howtoo: http://www.scribus.net/ [10:17] !AbiWord [10:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about AbiWord [10:17] Nom-: http://www.howtoforge.com/monitoring-multiple-systems-with-munin-debian-etch [10:17] lorenzosu, looks like what I'm after, thanks Ill check it out =) [10:17] !info abiword [10:17] abiword (source: abiword): efficient, featureful word processor with collaboration. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.4-4ubuntu4 (intrepid), package size 2833 kB, installed size 7604 kB [10:17] those little flash cards are same as usb stick? [10:18] Nom-: i'm sure it'll exist for ubuntu [10:18] bob123: It depends on how much storage capacity you need. [10:19] lorenzosu: for my work related prolly about 4 gigs [10:19] howtoo: You might also find inkscape of interest. It is more of a vector graphics app, but one can accomplish certain dtp tasks with it too. [10:19] documents and stuff [10:19] Can Ubuntu run .exe's? [10:20] Yeah, that's pretty graphs by the looks of it, with no alarming when things go pear shaped [10:20] bob123: If it's only doc and stuff you can now get fairly big USB sticks and SSD for reasanable price. If you go for SSd, though, check that your machine can read them. [10:20] lorenzosu, yeah, I know Inkscape. But I'm after something to create some good looking documentation in, Scribus looks pretty much what I was looking for =) [10:20] yep good point [10:20] Noob: with wine, it can run some. If its a driver file, cabextract can extract it [10:20] is truecrypt easy to use? I only fear someone getting my documents if stolen [10:20] ActionParsnip: So it can't just run and install a .exe? Great. [10:21] any ideas for adding extra keys? [10:21] I just wish nagios scaled better... [10:21] Noob: if its a game / app, check the appdb for compatibility, I'd try find an open equiv [10:21] my laptop kb has a dollar and euro key [10:21] bob123: I don't know never used it. If you're really concerned about privacy, though, the first thing to think of is "physical" care.- [10:21] Noob: as i said, consult the appdb [10:21] !appdb | Noob [10:21] Noob: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [10:21] It's that SuperGrub. [10:21] physical care? [10:21] Noob: not all apps work well and some flat refuse, some work great [10:21] yah just don't want my customer e-mail addresses in the wrong hands and stuff [10:21] bob123: meaning, being very carefull it *doesn'té* get stiolen. [10:21] Would SuperGrub work under wine? [10:22] Noob: go check, click the link [10:22] ewwh, QT3 apps really looks horrible =) [10:22] !info SuperGrub [10:22] Package SuperGrub does not exist in intrepid [10:22] lorenzosu: true .. handcuff to my body :) [10:22] bob123: Well if you're working for the CIA or something I guess so :) [10:22] what is a command that displays general info about the devices/partitions on a system? [10:22] I just like to go over worst case scenarios is all [10:23] Hew: sudo fdisk -l [10:23] I was born with a murphy's law genen hehe [10:23] err gene [10:23] bob123: It's a good approach. Also there also a common-sense in security.. [10:23] RANT: Why is ubuntu so fucking awkward?! [10:23] ActionParsnip: Just what I was looking for, thanks :-) [10:23] Hew: np [10:23] Noob: Pleas keep a respectful, civil language. [10:23] lorenzosu: I always rsync my files to a remote machine after a bit of work too [10:23] Hew: only sudo can run anything do do with fdisk [10:23] just to have an offsite backup, etc [10:24] Noob: its a new system so it will appear that way, as you settle into it, its ok [10:24] bob123: Yes so do I. Re security what I mean is don't leave a document on your laptop desktop called "mySecretBankAccountPasswords.txt" :) [10:24] how to find the usb port assigned to the phone in hardy? [10:24] haha [10:24] anybody knows 'bout it [10:24] ? [10:24] good point :) [10:25] Noob: its like buying a mac then ranting when half the linux apps you used to use won't run on it and hitting walls a lot, you just otta work out whats what [10:25] that's why i was wondering about truecrypt or such, or are they a big hassle to work with? [10:25] I was alright when I had it, as soon as I deleted the partion, I get Error 15.... [10:25] bob123: Never used truecrypt, but I'm sure other users have. [10:26] bob123: My main concern is always "physical" protection care, as Iwas saying. [10:26] hrm wonder if open office has an encryption system, I use calc a lot [10:26] lorenzosu: yah very true [10:26] If I deleted all files to look for Grub when I deleted the partition, why is it still looking for it? [10:26] Noob: yes because the grub config was on the same partition as / [10:27] bob123: truecrypt is decently secure [10:27] and not too dificult to use [10:27] Noob: so you have a boot sector but no booting system for it to launch [10:27] i'd suggest jsut making a synamic container file [10:27] joeyjones, do you have a link to any guides on how to set it up and stuff? [10:27] bob123: it has quite good documentation [10:27] okay will check (notes: dynamic container file) [10:27] Noob: if you want to clean grub and use windows loader http://support.microsoft.com/kb/69013 [10:27] ActionParsnip: I don't know. [10:28] Noob: if that's what you want, read this [10:28] bob123: otherwise you'd have a set space :p [10:28] yah it's just my spreedsheets have everything in em and I don't see any open office method to encrypt hrm [10:28] I don't have the install disk for Vista. [10:28] Noob: the disk has a small section of disk called the boot sector, its got just enough space to store where and what the disk is to startup [10:28] joeyjones, ah good to know :) [10:28] Noob: removing linux or windows for that matter does not remove this information [10:29] Noob: rescue disk perhaps? [10:29] Noob: the info you have removed is the configuration and files that the bootloader expects when it gets launched [10:29] all you need is this command fdisk /mbr [10:29] Noob: so you get error 15 [10:29] man this was a long update... [10:29] 237 items upgraded [10:29] ActionParsnip: Will SuperGrub fix this? [10:29] miha: not to get windows bootloader back on the disk instead of grub [10:30] Noob: if supergrub can see youor windows partition and reprogram it to boot from the windows partition, then yes === marcos is now known as w525aa [10:30] ActionParsnip: well windows by default installs on both MBR and partition, if you have valid windows partition, you just need to overwrite MBR [10:30] Noob: i havent used supergrub before [10:30] I don't care what bootloader I have, as long as I can get back in to Vista like I did BEFORE I got rid of Ubuntu. As long as it works, I don't care. [10:30] miha: thats where the issue is, its a store bouht system with a garbage recovery cd === anthill_ is now known as van [10:30] oh [10:31] miha: yeah, you are now up to speed :) [10:31] lol [10:31] My dad's back, so he should be able to burn SuperGrub for me. [10:31] Noob: you could always create a small partition for /boot which your system should be ale to use, then boot to windows [10:31] ActionParsnip: :) [10:31] If that doesn't work, the computer's going out of the window. [10:32] ActionParsnip: what about just command line at grub prompt? [10:32] does anybody knows bout checking the usb port for the phone connected with hardy [10:32] ????????????????? [10:32] Noob: personally I think /boot should be a seperate partition, as well as /home [10:32] Ubuntu won't read the disk to install, just to run off of it.

I've considered running the xp recovery however the XP install disk can no longer see any partitions. Does anyone know if this happens often when using the partitioner in intrepid?

[10:47] sue: nope.. you'll have to reinstall [10:47] isn't there a way to do something similar in ubuntu as yum --what-provides ifconfig on apt? [10:47] sue, reinstall [10:48] well i've checked the lsusb output [10:48] gaintsura: try apt-file [10:48] but i couldn't figure out what will be the port is? [10:48] phyburn: you could try a different lan cable [10:48] bodsa, download the cd image all over again?! [10:48] sue: but 64 bit isn't so bad.. unless you've got some special problem with it [10:48] Well, it's for my mom.. [10:48] Slart_: nothing any other idea? [10:48] sue: yes, or use a minimal cd ~10Mb to install via the web what you need [10:48] like what i've seen is: Bus 004 Device 004: ID 0bb4:0b0c High Tech Computer Corp." [10:48] I don't want it to be too hard. [10:49] so what's the port in it? [10:49] vendata: then websearch the id, see what comes up [10:49] ok [10:49] sue: how long did it take you to notice you were using 64 bit? [10:49] vendata: 004 is my gues [10:49] hmmm [10:49] Slart, after I installed, and made a lot of things work :P [10:50] sue: because I don't think an ordinary user would notice.. everything looks the same.. [10:50] Yes, but, there are compatibility issues with programs right? [10:51] sue: none at all, you can even run 32bit apps under 64bit with ia32libs [10:51] sue: nothing that I've noticed.. flash might be the only thing but that has been fixed [10:51] java can be a pain but theres icedtea for that :) [10:52] I'm having trouble with skype, that's all at the monet [10:52] *moment [10:52] ActionParsnip: you mean ubuntu's choice of 'gcj' as primary java... makes problems yes [10:52] can someone please give me a hand? ive been trying to install adobe flash for ubuntu 8.10 and downloaded the .deb file but when i try to run it it keeps saying Error: wrong architecture 'i386' [10:52] ActionParsnip: i'm java developer and only java is sun's java [10:52] sue: Install ia32libs then forcefully install skpe i386 [10:52] sue: can't really remember how I installed skype..

[10:58] sue: sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree [10:58] i have messed up with my fonts could somebody help me with default font in their appearance preferences could you name what was the default font for documents [10:58] sue: or just visit a flash site and use the plugin finder [10:58] simono_: if you get no flas after installing flashplugin-nonfree, try downloading the linux tar.gz from adobes site and unzipping it to ~/.mozilla/plugins (you will need to make the folder) [10:58] michelle_: do you get some kind of error message if you start thunderbird in a terminal? [10:58] simono, thatnks [10:58] can I have an invite to #ubuntu-2?

[10:59] drdozer: I think #ubuntu-2 is forwarded to this channel [10:59] Actionparsnip, after installing ai3libs, it still won't install Skype i386. [10:59] faderhval: did you mount it with ntfs3g and did you mount it so users can write to the partition?

[11:01] my laptop kb ahs a euro and dollar key [11:01] faderhval: then to rename is to write, so you will need 'sudo mv' to rename [11:01] i just wanna ask. i have a 64-bit intel core 2 duo processor so i installed the 64 bit version of ubuntu...but it seems to be for amd64...did i install the wrong version for my computer?

[11:01] joeyjones_: i cant find an ubuntu specific instructions, but take a look at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Extra_Keyboard_Keys_in_Xorg [11:02] ActionParsnip: hmm.. i used the rw option as far i understood the user/nouser is only to ensure that only root kan mount/umount? [11:02] Slart_ i googled it, but just seem to find "install tahoma" etc... [11:02] marko: its fine, its for a 64bit cpu so its correct, its just a name. youo arent the first to ask [11:02] marko: no you have the right one. amd64 is misleading name [11:02] * michelle_ is frustrated [11:02] oh ok, thanks guys [11:02] Am I right in saying an xorg panic would not be a fault with a kernel module but rather an application and/or process higher up? [11:02] marko: x86-64 is a better name [11:02] faderhval: only root can mount, if you dont have correct acces for standard users they will not be able to write data and sudo will be needed, also the written files will be owned by root === phnom_ is now known as phnom [11:03] whatever - I was wondering how I could get the color scheme altered so that I can actually read notification texts [11:03] so i have misunderstood the meaning of user/nouser and the easy way is to correct fstab :) [11:04] under kde on Jaunty, it seems to be using some sort of embossed charcole on black [11:04] drdozer: System/Preferences/Theme [11:04] faderhval: yeah i would, theres a billion guides on it [11:04] drdozer: oh kde, sorry, that's for gnome [11:04] faderhval: try: mount usb user writable [11:04] was following this http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html [11:04] michelle_: seems there are other people having the same problems but with other fonts [11:05] faderhval: http://www.hafenscher.net/wiki/index.php?page=Mount_USB_stick_read_and_writable_for_users [11:05] michelle_: you can uncheck the "allow messages to use other fonts" to avoid it... but the bug will still be there [11:05] not an USB stick im mounting ;) [11:06] faderhval: haha the amount of folks that say that [11:06] explain? :P [11:06] faderhval: a partition is a prtiion, be it usb, firewire or internal [11:07] faderhval: you are mounting the partition, only the kernel needs to know how it is pysically connected, mount doesnt care, neither do you [11:07] i am aware but as a fairly new linux user you would never know if theres a special option for it :) [11:07] actionparsnip ok, got it installed, but it still needs libqt4-core and gui, how should I go about that? (sorry for all these newbie questions) [11:08] ActionParsnip: Anyways thank you for the explanation :) [11:08] sue: np, just apt-get install them [11:08] Slart -well, not a fix - but your a diamond :) --- unchecking worked. Top searching techniques ;) --- thanks [11:08] ActionParsnip, wtf I'm a noob I can just use the normal install ISO i dont need to use the netinstall I thought the normal iso was bigger than a gig! ^^ [11:08] apt-get, right, thanks [11:08] faderhval: np man, i see why folks ask so i explain, the kernel is doing a LOT of work to make it abstracted like that [11:08] michelle_: you're welcome [11:08] :D [11:08] phyburn: no the cd iso is ~700Mb [11:09] dont care! its under a gig =p [11:09] my little flash is only 900mb [11:09] Setting up ekiga (2.0.12-0ubuntu5) usr/share/gconf/schemas/ekiga.schemas:20362: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: long line 20362 <-- Eeep.

[11:11] faderhval: check the link, the UID 1000 is what you will need to add to give all users accee [11:12] ActionParsnip: so i add the -o uid=1000 after the mount point option? [11:13] faderhval: you dont put -o its assumed as its the last part of the line [11:13] faderhval: -o is what you use in a command line mount, not fstab [11:14] faderhval: if you read your other fstab entrys, none of them have -o [11:14] \join bash [11:15] exit [11:15] how do I burn from a bin/cue file?

[11:23] tv7497: just download whichever debs you need and use sudo dpkg -i to install them all [11:23] milligan_: I did not upgrade, but fresh 8.10 install. Here line 20362 is "Posisi jendela utama pada layar [11:23] ActionParsnip: It's probably because it wasn't ISO-9660. [11:23] ActionParsnip: thanks :) [11:23] Winball: it gets detected via the file command which will say what its using [11:24] oCean_, yeah. that line makes no sense. [11:24] oCean_, yours seems sane .. mine is completely messed up. [11:24] Winball: detected settings in mounts are usually ok [11:24] oCean_, Posisi jendela utama pada layarPosisi jendela utama pada layar <- See what I mean? How the hell did that make it to a release? [11:25] milligan_: ghehe.. that's not sane.. that's insane [11:25] oCean_, my point exactly :) === quassel181 is now known as ScottK-laptop [11:25] milligan_: that may be not the only messed-up line. I understand you get a sane file mailed? [11:26] milligan_: http://www.wolfey.si/tmp/ekiga.schemas [11:26] that's mine and ekiga works, although i dont use it [11:26] miha, cheers [11:26] just no error at whizzard [11:26] milligan_: miha ah, ok. See if that works [11:27] ActionParsnip: apparently i can read/write to the file but im still unable to rename the icons on the desktop [11:27] milligan_: now refresh, just completed ftping, my line is slow [11:27] :( [11:27] Ah, hehe. [11:27] faderhval: maybe they have special permissions set in AD [11:27] miha, looks like it might be working. I got a lot less errors now. [11:27] hehe [11:28] (When using an uncomplete file) [11:28] hehe [11:28] less is good :) [11:28] faderhval: ntfs-3g is a best effort as ntfs is proprietary so files with weird permissions et on them will not be edittable but will be readable [11:28] ActionParsnip: how do i run it ? cario -dock ? [11:28] bleh i'm the only person i know who can consistently crash bash using perl one-liners [11:28] Yep, worked :D [11:28] tv7497: type cai then press tab [11:28] milligan_: i suspect this apt-get --purge just doesnt clean everything [11:28] Hi. How do i downgrade my libtool? [11:28] milligan_: but i'm not expert on this [11:29] alex_sleiborg: you could uninstall one then install the older one [11:29] miha, it was generating the error no matter what I did .. [11:29] ActionParsnip: i am able to write to the drives as well only problem is the icon names wierdly enough [11:29] apt was broken pretty much. [11:29] milligan_: i had problems with samba reinstall, then someone reminded me to --purge samba-common too [11:29] not just samba [11:29] please guys i'm a new in linux and I heard somebody talking about cairo [11:29] faderhval: oh yes you can do that but some files you wont be able to edit due to ntfs permissions [11:29] what is it ? [11:30] hey [11:30] Spark_rd2: have you tried google? [11:30] faderhval: if the file names are weird, you can add more mount info to use special languages for the file names to display special characters better [11:30] need some help over here [11:30] Anyway, looks to be working fine now. miha, maybe you could post a fix on the forumlink you gave me? (I don't have an account there) [11:30] milligan_: it's not fix, it's directly from repository, proposed perhaps, though [11:31] ActionParsnip: they are not wierd just annoying one is "Local Disc" the other is "Local disk" :) [11:31] err... what do i do with a process that i can't even kill -9 ??? [11:31] yes but find only some page explaining how to set it up [11:31] milligan_: i just enabled 'proposed' for my webcam stuff then i found out it's differnet issue [11:31] Spark_rd2: http://cairographics.org/ [11:32] ok [11:33] faderhval: then id boot to the OS on the ntfs (if there is one, and rename them) [11:36] ActionParsnip: how do i keep on running it if i close the terminal t goes off :( [11:36] milligan_: did you try amsn lately.. it does audio chat too now :) [11:36] milligan_: the svn version [11:36] oh, cool. This is my work machine, so I didn't really mess about with it .. but I suppose I could give it a whack :) [11:37] milligan_: http://www.amsn-project.net/wiki/Farsight [11:37] some extra libs and audio works [11:37] remoteCTR1: if exists, killing it's parent might help [11:37] looks like a bit of work :) [11:37] tv7497: add it to your startup and it will run at boot [11:38] oCean_: how do i determine a parent? [11:38] ActionParsnip: oh thanks [11:38] tv7497: easiest way [11:38] the brightness controls on my laptop no longer work. it's probably because of something that was upgraded right? [11:38] thx Ocean [11:38] ;) [11:38] milligan_: not too much, i wrote my slovenian instructions with just necessary stuff http://sponka.net/AMSN_slika_in_zvok#Razvojna_razli.C4.8Dica_aMSN_in_knji.C5.BEnice i guess you could ignore comments and just try those commands [11:38] screen brightness used to work fine [11:39] milligan_: amsn wiki has more detailed explanation [11:39] remoteCTR1: while doing "ps -ef | grep commandname" the 2nd field is pid, the 3rd field is parent pid. But beware, parent process might have started other processes... [11:39] oCean_: well those should be terinated if i terminate the parent, right? [11:39] Ocean: I find a good tuto that's explain how to set it up on my distro [11:40] hello [11:40] is there any one to help me? [11:40] hello rikil [11:40] rikil: ask your question, try to be clear. if you get no answer in few minutes, try posting it again [11:40] remoteCTR1: indeed. That would kill all childprocesses [11:40] ya [11:40] i am havinfg pc with amd sempron 1100 [11:40] with 1 gb ram ddr2 [11:41] oCean_: well lets see then if the parren process happens to gdm or so:D [11:41] 160 gb hd [11:41] and with nvidia gfx card [11:41] now prob is that [11:41] remoteCTR1: yes, yes... take caution while killing :-) [11:41] i installed nvidia drivers [11:41] in ubuntu [11:41] oCean_: well it didnt do anything at all:-/ [11:42] guess i need to reboot this thing [11:42] rikil: please try to explain your problem all in one line. [11:42] nya [11:42] sure [11:42] So get it till now [11:42] ? [11:42] yeah sure [11:42] remoteCTR1: yes, that's the final option indeed. [11:42] now icant chage my screen resolution lessthan 640 and I cant mount my hard drive [11:43] oCean_: ive been working with linux for years now but i never had that one:D [11:43] but i got [11:43] now what to do?? [11:43] rikil: why would you wanna change to a resolution less than 640*480? [11:43] remoteCTR1: well, you might wait and sit it out... while waiting, renice the process so it's not causing problems for other processes [11:43] !enter | rikil [11:44] rikil: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [11:44] sorry it is not going more than it [11:44] oCean_: renice? [11:44] and why would ya want 640x480 ? [11:44] it is not going more than 640*480 [11:44] rikil: so mean higher not lower than 640*480? [11:44] kk [11:44] ya [11:44] remoteCTR1: yes, nice is a way to start process in lower or higher priority. Renice is a way to ehrm.. renice a running process [11:44] rikil. I had the same yesterday. I had to set it by running Nvidia x server settings as admin then restarting X [11:45] rikil: theres a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf there you do the settings for graphics resolution, see man xorg.conf for details [11:45] can u expalin it bit in detail as i am new at ubuntu [11:45] oCean_: humm i guess i will do the reboot later on [11:46] rikil: xorg.conf is a configuration file as the file ending suggests [11:46] I got a bit of a problem here if someone can help [11:46] ok and what about that i cant mount my drives [11:46] I have 3 HDs setup in RAID5 with Vista installed on them [11:46] rikil: errr wait a sec [11:46] sure [11:46] rikil: did you say you have an nvidia card? [11:46] ya [11:47] so I decided I wanted to try and install ubuntu as well [11:47] rikil: gosh sorry i mislead you, you need to install a program called nvidia-settings, to do so type sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings to a console [11:47] so I Shrunk a portion of the HD and tried to install ubtunu on it now I get the message GRUB Error 21 when booting [11:48] no prob [11:48] Manix: googling error shows http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=62717 === eric is now known as Guest49383 [11:50] rikil: got it installed?

[11:51] I've looked around on the search results already... none of them have 3 Hds setup in Raid5 which is kind of an issue no? === eric is now known as Guest51445 [11:55] Manix: it's probably because in the grub config the disk (or partition) -to-boot-from is not spcecified correctly. You'll have to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [11:56] Does that link show me how to edit it? [11:57] Manix: "sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst" or "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" [11:57] i want to move /var/log on to a new drive. Whats involved in doing this? Im thinking of copying the directory, then editing fstab, then issuing a mount -a [11:57] Manix: yes. it's a good place to start. There are several links pointing to solutions/howto's for various grub related problems [11:57] The only way for me to boot right now is using the ubuntu CD [11:57] hello guys, how do i install xp in my machine with ubuntu already installed, i mean is there anyway to install grub after xp is installed with the live cd? [11:59] Hello. Had a bit of a look around but couldn't find specific info: Is it possible to mirror 8.04.1 instead of 8.04.2? [11:59] carpii_: while running os, various files in /var/log are in use. You should reboot to let the change have full effect. === Blacki_ is now known as Blacki === Blacki is now known as Guest47493 [12:00] Not CD images, but archive (sans -updates and -security). Or, is 8.04.1 only a CD-image concept? === Guest47493 is now known as Blacki [12:01] oCean, ok thanks. Its not a problem to move the files while theyre in use though? [12:01] so long as i reboot afterwards === crus0r is now known as crus [12:01] carpii_: moving to another filesystem would be a problem [12:01] Hey.. where does ubuntu keep it's "non partition" mount info? there's no /proc entry in fstab - but it's obviously mounted.. :p [12:02] hm, ive added a new drive for performance reasons. I dont mind if this results in some log files not being complete [12:02] break, try /etc/mtab ? [12:02] carpii_: mtab only shows whats already mounted. [12:02] I want to know how ubuntu knows what to mount and where, at boot.. [12:02] you said its already mounted [12:02] oic [12:02] carpii_: well. duh.. yea.. it is.. unless I boot my own kernel.

[12:03] break, there is a proc entry in my fstab [12:03] thats what I'm getting at. [12:04] oCean_: lucky you.. there's not one in mine.. and thats how it was installed. [12:04] break19: proc should be in fstab - it is on all mine. but check /etc/init.d/mount*, some of the special fs are handled by bootscripts now [12:04] Techna: it has crashed or is locked... kill the app or use xkill [12:04] :( [12:04] break19: the line does not start ^/proc but ^proc [12:04] that's what I thought [12:04] shauno: see, the problem is.. pata_via module is bad bad bad.. and I wanna go back to the via_82xx module.. [12:05] will intrepid's dpkg version be updated? or will the current version just get security updates?

[12:05] break, if proc isnt in your fstab. nothings telling it to mount it [12:05] carpii_: then how is it mounted :) [12:05] Techna: maybe you can start with some of the ops or the launchpad page [12:06] carpii_: which was my question.

[12:25] Hi all. I installed ubuntu on a Compaq laptop for a friend of mine, but I kept the WinXP recovery partition just in case his daughter (msn-aholic) wanted windows back so she could use the WLM-client.. Now, that has proven true, she does want windows. Grub detected the boot partition and set everything up, and I had testbooted it once before to see that it works, and it did then. However, when I try to boot it now, I get "Error 13: Invalid or u [12:25] Use case: work environment that doesn't want to move off the almost-8.04.1 mirror I created for them a while ago. [12:26] yudhi [12:27] <_ruben> darth_muzo: there's no such thing as a 8.04.1 or 8.04.2 mirror really .. just 8.04 mirror .. which either has all updates (which would make it more or less 8.04.2), or not .. 8.04.1 and 8.04.2 are merely indications of "up-to-date-ness" ;) [12:27] hi folks! i need to create a user account (ubuntu server 8.10) that automatically shuts down the system as soon as that very user logs in... i tried to specify /sbin/shutdown (and poweroff and reboot and so on) as the users shell, but it always requires the root user to do that... is there a way to avoid that, so that also an ordinary user may shutdown the system? (don't worry, this is just for a vmware image which starts a [12:27] server in the background... the "easy" shutdown is just supposed to be a convenience tool for users to turn of the vmware and the server) [12:28] bjantscher: sudo [12:29] gordonjcp: you mean specifying a script as default shell, that invokes "sudo poweroff"? [12:29] bjantscher: yup [12:30] bjantscher: you'll need to add that user to sudoers in a fairly specific way [12:30] gordonjcp: the thing is, i don't want this user to login, i just want them to be able to shutdown the machine. what if they hit ctrl-c or whatever... would they end up in the bash, or would they just get back to the login screen again? [12:31] _ruben: OK, so I've been doing some spot inspections of Packages.gz contents, trying to figure out whether if I mirror only "hardy" archive rather than including "hardy-updates" and "hardy-security" archive also, whether I'll just be getting 8.04.0, or 8.04.2. I remember reading somewhere that 8.04.2 has gcc-4.2.4 instead of -4.2.3, but that's not what I'm seeing in the Pacakges.gz. [12:32] bjantscher: change their shell to /bin/shutdown ? [12:32] Hi. I have an ADVENT 5611 keyboard and sometimes when I type some of the keys dont register, like if I want to type hello it may come back with 'hllo' in any program be it FireFox or Pidgin...I'm running out of options but I really want to keep Ubuntu. It may be a driver issue but I cant find drivers for my ADVENT laptop... [12:33] gordonjcp: this is what i tried, but that did not work out as you still need to be root for doing this [12:33] bastones: Sounds like yoyur keys are sticking to be honest, unless it only happens in Ubuntu.

[12:47] Chousuke: libstdc++6-4.3-dev depends on g++-4.3 [12:47] Sivam: you need to install them both at the same time. [12:48] Chousuke: Sivam is using dpkg only, since not connected.

[12:50] :) [12:50] Chousuke: but I am unable to find libstdc++.so.6 file [12:50] Chousuke: in my /usr/lib folder [12:50] you also need the libstdc++6 package. [12:50] not the -dev, the actual library [12:51] Chousuke: if not for my usage of Gentoo, i wouldnt know about libstdc++ :) [12:51] Chousuke: gcc upgrade guide for gentoo was very informative:) [12:51] I dislike gentoo. [12:52] Chousuke: i'm not saying end users should take gentoo. but for novice developer, gentoo forces you to learn some stuff [12:52] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2009-02-02 12:32 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 -> libstdc++.so.5.0.7 [12:52] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 829424 2008-05-07 06:12 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 [12:52] there is no libstdc++.so.6 [12:52] miha: I don't think that matters at all. [12:52] !ot | miha : This is not the gentoo channel [12:52] miha : This is not the gentoo channel: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [12:53] Sivam: you need libstdc++6 [12:53] sorry ok. [12:53] thanks :) [12:53] Sivam: Do you know if you downloaded the libstdc++6 package? [12:53] Chousuke: i installed libstdc++6-dev package [12:53] Sivam: there are two versions in the repos. [12:53] Sivam: you need the non-dev package as wel [12:53] +l [12:53] Chousuke: libstdc++6-4.3-dev_4.3.2-1ubuntu11_amd64.deb [12:53] that's not enough. [12:53] Chousuke: oh [12:53] that's just the headers, not the library itself. [12:54] Chousuke: thanks [12:54] Sivam: This probably won't help you out of your current spot, but if you can run Synaptic, this may be of use (old link for old distro, but I had a quick look in Synaptic and it still seems relevant): http://beans.seartipy.com/2006/11/03/simple-way-to-update-ubuntu-edgy-with-slowno-internet-connection/ [12:55] I'm having trouble with my sound card, here are my specs: http://pastebin.com/m18485dae [12:55] is there any other drawback in doing linux development in a virtual machine ? [12:55] ryugi: "other"? [12:55] ryugi: it's not real hardware, but that's it. [12:56] ryugi: just make sure you buy extra RAM:) [12:56] Im having the same problem with rhythmbox as yesterday.... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/323946 but all music plays... just annoying that dialogue. [12:56] how do i disable it [12:56] hi there, ive got a cdrw installed and so on(factory fitted) but ubuntu isnt picking it, any ideas what i can do/try? [12:56] ok thanks [12:56] ryugi: compiles can go a bit slower, but that's about it unless you're developing drivers or something. [12:57] ok [12:57] ryugi: and buy RAM for both real and virtual OS to use, or swapping will make it extra slow [12:57] yeah, you don't want your virtual machine to swap :) [12:58] nor your real machine. [12:58] but the virtual machine swapping is worse. [12:58] especially if it's on an SSD ;) [12:58] I got my laptop to do dual monitors but there's only one wallpaper which is split right down the middle and only one of the monitors (original one) has panels, is there a fix for either of these? [12:58] what window manager? [12:59] gnome [12:59] ok, i dont know then sorry [12:59] miha:8GB should be eough ? [12:59] ryugi: i'm sure:) [12:59] ryugi: oh, more than enough :) [12:59] how do i untar a .gz file? i know for .tar.gz it's: tar xvzf foo.tar.gz [12:59] its kind of impressive regardless because vista wouldn't do 1400x900 resolution for this second monitor =) but I really wish they both at least had wallpaper [12:59] nyaa: I ended up creating a wide wallpaper by stitching together two single-screen ones in an image edit app. [13:00] gunzip [13:00] ok [13:00] :) [13:00] ryugi: i thought in range of 3-4 gb:) [13:00] * Chousuke runs a virtual machine without swapping with only 3GB [13:00] nyaa: are they same res? [13:00] darth muzo not even close to same rez =) your innovation on this matter is somewhat frightening to me lol [13:00] ryugi: are you running a 64-bit version of ubuntu [13:00] darth_muzo: gzip -d file.gz [13:01] nyaa: ! same res == ! my solution [13:01] darth_muzo: tar means more than one file, and uses gzip then [13:01] darth_muzo blast! [13:01] sue: for me next link was helpful (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616845) because I had to add option to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [13:01] sue: what does "aplay -l" output? [13:02] darth_muzo:32 bit version of ubuntu [13:02] <_2> miha tar is an archiver i can use compression tools too [13:03] any tiling window manager users here? could you share how you make use of one? [13:03] carpii,miha: thanks! :-) [13:03] <_2> s=i=it= [13:03] np [13:03] dayo_: I think miha's comment was for you - what's the name of the file you're trying to unpack?

I need to ensure it starts with -Dndiswrapper [13:03] hiya [13:04] darth_muzo: README.DB_CONFIG.gz it worked :-) [13:04] oCean: http://pastebin.com/m47f15b18 [13:04] who can i share files between tow ubuntu systems?I already have a wireless connection and it works ;) [13:04] Kruxer: scp [13:04] yo yo yo [13:04] sue: that's not aplay -l ..

I'm just recalling something about memory limits. [13:05] I have installed apache2 and php5 module for apache2. Php is not working. If i try to display a php file, the browser wants to download it. What can be the problem? [13:05] !php [13:05] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [13:05] Ocean, sorry..hold on [13:05] darth_muzo: desktop kernel [13:05] !php [13:06] ? [13:06] lorenzosu : try going to system > preferences > appearance, then the fonts tab and use subpixel smoothing =) [13:06] oCean: http://pastebin.com/m3a354a5f [13:06] apache conf + php = http://www.petefreitag.com/item/516.cfm [13:06] <_2> !info php | numpszi [13:06] Package php does not exist in intrepid [13:06] <_2> well php5 [13:06] numpszi: it makes ubottu react, read his words and check the link [13:06] lorenzosu you can also install the mstt core fonts, those look neat too but its all preferences [13:06] sue: hint: if you type "oC" and hit , the nickname will auto-complete.. [13:06] ryugi: I'm not sure whether it's still true, but for a while on gutsy or hardy, if you had the 32-bit desktop kernel, you couldn't address (i.e. use) more than 3GB of physical RAM, but if you had the 32-bit server kernel you could (using PAE aka Physical Address Extensions), but you were still limited to no more than 2 or 3 GB memory per program you're running [13:07] nyaa: That's a bit better... still kind blurry though [13:07] oCean_: thanks [13:08] oCean_: so, what's it look like? [13:08] darth_muzo:ok. i feel 3GB of ram assigned to the vm guest should be fine [13:08] it works! thanks for the help! [13:08] lorenzosu here's a guide on the core fonts, if you like those. You could also try a different font from the other ones that are available. http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/09/09/installing-microsoft-fonts/ [13:08] nyaa: thanks [13:09] nyaa: But this is more of font-independent problem... all fonts look quite bad :( [13:09] dayo_: BTW if you're familiar with the command-line, 'less README.DB.CONFIG.gz' should automagically work without having to manually unpack it, due to the wonders of lesspipe [13:09] oCean_: http://pastebin.com/m3a354a5f [13:09] woo hoo, i actually installed something! [13:09] sue: well you'll probably have to add option to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base. On next link (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616845) you can find your codec (stac92xx) and possible options. It seems there are lots of options. Maybe you can find your laptop model there [13:10] oCean_: did you get it? [13:10] lorenzo, font rendering is not quite up to the standard of Windows. Theres patents which mean linux cant use the same techniques I think [13:10] Use MS core fonts, and after a while you just get used to it [13:11] sue: yes. Also try "cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep -i codec" [13:11] Also you could try turning off font anti-aliasing for smaller font sizes [13:11] how do I install gnome do 8.0? [13:11] carpii_: But I have this problem on this machine (monitor) ... and actually Windows also looks very bad... it has the Intel graphics card [13:11] oic [13:12] I dont know why that would be. [13:12] oCean_: Codec: SigmaTel STAC9205 Codec: Conexant ID 2c06 [13:12] whats so bad about the fonts? take a screenshot maybe [13:13] hi, i'm trying to set up LaTeX on two ubuntu systems and getting dependency problems on both. anyone aware of these and know how to work around them?

I can pipe the output of a find command to sort, but when i try to pipe it to a script it says no files to process [13:15] what is the script expecting as input ? [13:15] a filename [13:15] a single filename? [13:16] the script is called renrot. so i pipe it to renrot --no-rname [13:16] sue: Edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (see mentioned link for details) Add "options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m42" at bottem of that file. Reboot and see if that works. [13:16] try find | xargs | your_script [13:16] sorry, try find | xargs your_script [13:16] ok. thank you [13:17] oCean_: so what do I do?

[13:28] ActionParsnip: is it "not need sudo" or "don't need the password of sudo"? [13:28] no [13:28] edgy: i think its "not need sudo" something to do with UIDs [13:29] sonarsubs: /var/cache/apt [13:29] tyu [13:29] ActionParsnip : can help me to set up firewall [13:29] Thanks === Squawk_ is now known as Squawk [13:29] !aptoncd [13:29] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [13:29] !firewall [13:29] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

[14:26] i've got a few files on my FS that i can't delete (tells me permission denied, but it's owned by my user and i got "rw" on it) what can it be ? [14:26] erUSUL, I'll try that, thanks [14:26] connar what proc do you have [14:27] connar: cat /proc/cpuinfo tells some info? [14:27] connar: you want to know what ubuntu you have installed or if your cpu supports 64 bits ?? [14:27] erUSUL, perfect... making a mental note [14:27] yes erUSUL [14:27] Prisla-Chan: If it doesn't, it won't... probably requires some driver only available for window$... I have those buttons too. You could try running "xev", which displays all button presses/releases. If it doesn't show up there, It won't work without a driver [14:27] hhelp mee [14:27] hhelp mee [14:27] connar: yes? you want to know the former or the later? [14:27] actually i have a debian package which says wrong architecture [14:27] senux: just ask [14:28] i've got a few files on my FS that i can't delete (tells me permission denied, but it's owned by my user and i got "rw" on it) what can it be ? (it's on another partition tho) [14:28] connar: uname -m [14:28] erUSUL : thanx [14:28] I've got a little issue. Any of you guys ever use Ubuntu's remote desktop to remote into windows boxes? You see, I've got a Windows Vista running the Colemak beta, and an Ubuntu (which I configured to Colemak during install) which I use to RDP into that box. [14:28] Only problem is, when the keyboard setting on the windows box is "Colemak", a double qwerty -> colemak conversion takes place. [14:28] i.e. Where normally, qwerty "F" becomes colemak "T", now qwerty "F" becomes "G" because first it's converted to colemakt "T", and then on the windows machine I guess that "T" is interpreted as qwerty and converted to the colemak "G". [14:28] Any thoughts on where the problem's cause is, Ubuntu-side or Windows-side, and a possible fix for the Ubuntu-side? [14:28] MacGyverNL: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:28] thats what i was looking for [14:28] DB42: maybe you do ot have write permissions on the folder [14:28] i have problem [14:28] with pbx [14:28] wget problem [14:28] !enter | senux [14:28] senux: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[14:29] connar: yes [14:29] erUSUL: thanx [14:29] how van I check what type of fans there are running on my system can't find it through lshw? [14:29] i have problem with pbx , wget problem s all links i wget says ....:80 connection refused [14:29] connar: not machine but install the machine may be 64 bit capable but you have 32 bit ubuntu installed [14:29] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules/+bug/289912 --> i installed linux-backports-modules-intrepid and rebooted and my wireless still doesn't work (i have the HP G50 laptop with the 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc.

[14:30] senux: and its not a dns issue? [14:30] hi, i have ubuntu 8.04.1-server installed with kernel 2.6.24-19 but after the installation my saata-cdrom does not work :/ i found some hints that the problem comes with 2.6.24 but i dont know it for shure can someone help plz? [14:30] senux: if you ping www.google.com as a example [14:30] senux: i told you to setup your networking first [14:30] s3a: are you using 64bit? [14:30] IndyGunFreak, no [14:30] Hi *. Sorry for the faq. Does anyone know when we will see kde 4.2 in ubuntu? [14:30] miha: that's really up to you; I wouldn't use 64-bit yet though; but I hear it works pretty well overall. [14:30] Chousuke: same:) [14:30] mrwoody, april, in jaunty [14:30] ping www.google.com [14:31] 64 bytes from cf-in-f99.google.com (74.125.19.99): icmp_seq=1 ttl=240 time=22.4 ms [14:31] s3a: then you did something wrong,b ecause i've set that device up on 4 different machiens w/ that chipset, and it works fine [14:31] i have a problem with multiple tabs in firefox i want to keep open but i opened a link to a disgusting site that wont close and is force ing me to start a fresh session unless i kill that one page and ctrl + w wont work [14:31] any idea? [14:31] is there anyway to make the "rmmod pcspkr" command to stick after reboots? [14:31] erUSUL: is there a way to check if my machine is 32 bit or 64...and another way to check if the Ubuntu installed is 32 or 64 bit [14:31] connar less /proc/cpuinfo should give you info on first question [14:31] s3a: did you disable the restricted driver? [14:31] connar: then you google given processor [14:32] connar, uname -a [14:32] scizzo- : any idea? [14:32] senux: and when you surf normaly from that machine that has problems with :80 what happens then? [14:32] connar: for the later you already have the answer your ubuntu onstall is i686 == 32 bit for the former do « grep --color ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo » if you see something highlighted ( lm to be precise) your cpu has long mode == 64 bits [14:32] IndyGunFreak, o i went to hardware drivers and now it says it sees it!!! :D BUT it says "This driver is activated but not currently in use" [14:32] senux: pages comes up and everything? [14:33] s3a: do you have one or two options there for atheros device? [14:33] connar, if /proc/cpuinfo has 'lm' in the flag fields the machine is 64bit. Uname -a will tell you if you have a 64bit os [14:33] IndyGunFreak, the only option i c is "deactivate" [14:34] s3a: is that option "Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards" [14:34] senux: or what happens if you as a example do: wget http://www.gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-files/98651-1.png [14:34] senux: do you get the same error from that address and so on? [14:34] nothing page [14:34] nothing all [14:34] just says failed [14:34] seveas: clflush size : 64......wat does this indiacte? [14:35] senux: no page comes up if you go to www.google.com for example? [14:35] senux: I mean not using wget but using firefox or something like that? [14:35] senux: because I hope you are not surfing with wget...that won't really work well [14:35] seveas : u there? [14:35] connar, no idea. Definitely not whether it's 64bit though :) [14:35] hello, how can i stop nautilus opening windows when i plug my mp3 player in? [14:36] ode: on nautilus preferences removable media [14:36] uhmm anyone know how to get kernel sources for kubuntu ?? or is that included in the install somhow ? [14:36] ode, system -> preferences -> removable drives and media [14:36] krazed: yes there is [14:36] IndyGunFreak, http://img509.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshothardwaredriveof5.png [14:36] seveas : i followed ur procedure and what i saw 64 was in the clflush field [14:37] connar: for the later you already have the answer your ubuntu onstall is i686 == 32 bit for the former do « grep --color ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo » if you see something highlighted ( lm to be precise) your cpu has long mode == 64 bits <<<<<< do this [14:37] connar, you need to look only at the flags field and look for the 'word' lm [14:37] s3a: have you restarted since installing the backport modules? [14:37] i don't have that option in preferences [14:37] IndyGunFreak, ya i just came back from a reboot [14:37] ode: it is now in nautilus preferences [14:37] i remember it in a previous install [14:38] ah thanks [14:38] ode: open a nautilus window ( Places>Documents for example) go to Edit>Preferences the last tab [14:38] !info linux-source | kriss3d [14:38] linux-source (source: linux-meta): Linux kernel source with Ubuntu patches.

I figure I'll turn off the ATI driver, then shut down, install, and hope for the best. [14:38] I have a 64bit CPU, do you recommend me to install 32bit or 64bit Ubuntu? What problems could arise with 64bit? [14:38] s3a: youv'e done something that isn't right.. just can't figure out what... every time i've set that device up(and as said, i've done it seveal times), you'll have two options there, one is deactivated, the other activated.. yours shows it is activated properly.... [14:38] connar: then your cpu is not 64 bit [14:38] erUSUL : i m back to the prompt [14:38] erUSUL : u sure abt that? [14:39] s3a: what is the output of uname -a [14:39] erUSUL : if it doesnt return me anything then it is a 32 bit machine? [14:39] connar: if you typed the command as i have typed it here yes i'm sure [14:39] IndyGunFreak, Linux deniz-laptop 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux [14:39] erUSUL: thanks i have it :) [14:39] ode: no problem [14:39] erUSUL : i just copy pasted it [14:40] s3a: what all did you try to get that device working?... before stumbling upon installing the linux-backports [14:40] grep --color ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo...thats the command i typed [14:40] connar: just make sure the ' ' are the right ones [14:40] hhelo [14:40] hi ppl [14:40] im not use fro wget [14:40] how can i instruct thunderbird to get all msgs from the server, and not just the new ones? [14:40] im not use surfing with wget [14:40] i need to wget some files [14:40] erUSUL : i made sure they are single quotes [14:40] I got a strange problem [14:40] connar: then your cpu is not 64 bit [14:40] Sound is not working [14:41] senux: did you try the wget command I gave you? [14:41] IndyGunFreak, well nothing rely but i did read that vista somehow deactivates the wireless card on the internet but i dont no if whoever said that was right (this laptop had vista pre-installed but i removed it) [14:41] when I click on test hardware [14:41] connar: which cpu model do you have ? [14:41] it tells that it is testing ICH7 [14:41] wtf is that? [14:41] Old time ubuntu user here returning to attempt a bit of a 'project'. After realising the security problems in Windows, though much reduced in Vista are still an issue, I want to see if I can make a totally 'locked down' ubuntu install. As in, airtight to a ridiculous degree. Encrypted system, encrypted internet access, tight firewall control, the lot. I want to see if linux can live up to... [14:41] ...its security expectations ;) My question is whether there are tutorials on how to do this sort of thing, or where I should start. [14:41] s3a: wel, even if vista deactivated it, that shouldn't effect linux. [14:41] erUSUL : i have a 2.6 ghz intel pentium 4 machine [14:42] s3a: do you have a button or something on your laptop, to turn wireless on/off [14:42] connar: p4 are not 64 bit [14:42] does anyone have a clue about my prob? [14:42] another question? I'm importing some photos in gthumb, should I have 'rotate images physically' ticked? what does this option mean? [14:42] wemdowemd: lockdown how? [14:42] erUSUL : okay [14:42] wemdowemd: biggest security problem is still the user(s) [14:42] erUSUL : then what machines are 64 bits [14:43] erUSUL : the quadcores/ [14:43] ? [14:43] connar: some pentium D all Core 2 duo Athlons64 opterons etc... [14:43] connar: i have a althlon x2 3800+ it is 64 bit [14:44] IndyGunFreak, yes there is and i just tried pressing it and before i go any further (in vista when the wireless was working, the button had blue light and when it doesn't work it had oprange light, in ubuntu, it always has orange light but on the positive side of things, now that i go on network-manager-gnome on my top panel it says "wireless networks" although it doesn't actually show any wireless networks [14:44] anyone know how do access the entire harddrive when using wubi ? [14:44] any amd 3k+ is 64bit [14:45] sept for socket a versions [14:45] hi [14:45] Appiah: I intend to have the system partition on an external drive, booted from something like a livecd - this is to avoid playing with my laptop BIOS. The filesystem and everything else on said HD will be encrypted. Once that bit is done and its installed, I expect the internet stuff should be easy - firestarter, Tor etc. It's really the initial install I want advice on. How to put the... [14:45] ...filesystem on an external drive, boot-encrypted but without requiring changing the BIOS on the laptop. Except to tell it to preferentially boot from a CD/USB [14:45] how can I disable the automatic hibernation? [14:46] s3a: well, is your essid hidden by chance? [14:46] erUSUL : what exactly is the difference between a 32 bit and a 64 bit machine? [14:46] bou it should be somewhere in system > preferences > power management [14:46] Given standalone USB OS's are possible, like BlackDog, I think what I want is achievable. [14:46] boot from external shouldnt be any problem , just select your device from the boot menu wemdowemd [14:46] IndyGunFreak, essid=the name of my network? if so, no, it isn't hidden, not to mention i'd see my neighbours' networks [14:46] is there a console command to diasble laptop touchpad? [14:46] just insert the CD and choose the external drive to install on [14:46] when asked about encrypted home dir choose yes [14:46] connar: this is turning way offtopic for the channel you will find a lot of info on the net [14:47] s3a: i really don't know.. can't explain t.. just know i've set up that device several times, w/o issue, on several different PC's (mostly acer's) [14:47] failers, system-->preferences-->mouse-->touchpad [14:47] Appiah: And from then on, whenever PC is booted with external plugged in, it preferentially loads the (passworded) ubuntu install? [14:47] nyaa:thx [14:47] erUSUL : i understand but i just need the basic difference [14:47] s3a: i want it in "console command" so i can me a bash script to auto turn of on startup :P [14:47] erUSUL : too much info on the net [14:48] wemdowemd: if you dont wanna change the bios boot order you gonna have to select your external drive from the Bios boot menu (F12 on many comps nowdays) [14:48] each time you start the computer [14:48] connar: a 32 bit cpu uses 32 bit wide words to operate and a 64 bit use 64 bit words the registers the execution paths etc all is "wider" on a 64 bit cpu [14:48] failers, wait i dint understand wat u said too well but wat i told u, disables touchpad on startup too [14:48] is there a ubuntu developer channel ?

[16:30] bigbrova2: so there is no file to put a command in? *No easy way, like window's startup folder? [16:30] jonaskoelker: i got .27 and ati fglrx works, both ubuntu [16:30] Talker: there is a start up folder .. .. but remember you need to run it with admin privilage which means that it needs to be part of ur init startup scripts [16:30] 27.9 at least [16:31] !startup [16:31] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab.

[16:32] !keys [16:32] Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [16:32] Talker the gnome/kde startup manager are for applications that are loaded once the system is setup .. esp apps normal applications ... ubuntu and windows have diff approaches to startup in the case [16:32] sidewalk: xbindkeys and xmodmap for the win ;) [16:32] Jack_Sparrow: They are also deprecating this. So the meta will just be -i386 or -generic or so and not specific rev [16:33] sidewalk be aware there are several predefined in compiz that may cause you some issues.. /join #compiz for more info [16:33] sidewalk: if you don't mind editing config files... xev is helpful for xmodmap, xbindkeys is fairly straightforward [16:33] defenderz: ..so if you use gksu nvidia-settings you can't select your desired resolution?

[16:34] hospodg, and have the original os still running? look into virtualbox, vmware or wubi [16:35] hospodg: you'll want to look into virtualisation: virtualbox will do what you need, as will vmware. [16:35] hospodg May I have a word with you please [16:35] Talker: for dhclient to work .. u need to be connected to a network .. what dhclient does is ask your dhcp server for an ip .. its would be hard adding it to your startup script because it would require your passwd and stuff and adding it to your init bootup scripts would be unless since the system only connect to wirless once you are booted up [16:35] hospodg: you may also want to look into colinux [16:35] no i want the original OS to shut down [16:35] jonaskoelker sorry yes .. in ubuntu 8.10 network manager vpn connection and i added [16:35] Jack_Sparrow, is there a problem [16:36] hospodg If you are still trying to boot live and jump ship to the other OS the answer is still NO [16:36] Jack_Sparrow: I installed linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic and get "Kernel source for 2.6.27-11-generic not installed.

I'm not familiar with it [16:42] anyone know if I can remove text from icons in nautilus, and if I can make the icons smaller? [16:42] ive never tried unmounting. i didnt know how safe it was to unmount it. === igogo1 is now known as igogo [16:42] im assuming its my windows side partition [16:42] Skeptiker: that being hardy? [16:42] Krstnsn: it probably won't let you unmount it if it's being accessed [16:42] cause i dont have any externals or anything [16:42] when i send an mp4 or dat file through ftp then it says invalid argument [16:43] saurabh: you're probably not doing it right then [16:43] can anyone help [16:43] oCean_, oh sorry.

I'll see if I find a tutorial [16:44] now get or put is not working [16:44] saurabh, Hmm..that should work have you tried it through the GUI "Connect to server" in the Places menu? [16:45] anyone know if I can remove text from icons in nautilus, and if I can make the icons smaller? [16:45] saurabh: is this isolated to only mp4 or dat files? do any files work? [16:46] joshjtl, which icons? The toolbar icons of the file/folders? [16:46] shingalated: toolbar sorry [16:46] Skeptiker: you upgraded ubuntu, but not the kernel? Upgrading might be a good idea, but not if you had a really good reason not to do so before ... [16:47] joshjtl, go to system>preferences>appearence and then choose the Interface tab and set toolbar icon labels to "Icons only" [16:47] oCean_, the update manager told me that there is a new ubuntu version and I just followed along. I did not know how to upgrade the kernel at the same time :) [16:47] nabend [16:49] Skeptiker: hm.. for some reason the update mgr skipped the kernel upgrade. I'm not sure why, and there might be a good reason for it. [16:49] Hello... How does one completely remove a package, not leaving behind any configs.

[16:52] Chocotoff: you're welcome [16:52] oCean_: since I have no clue as to why during upgrade your kernel was left at old level, I would not recommend it.

[17:10] jackmayol: "df" will show them as separate filesystems if that is indeed the case. [17:10] theres something seriously wrong with my install of ubuntu or something... firefox is running my cpu big time... and its idle. with one tab open onto a page with only words. [17:10] ya [17:10] on ubuntu [17:10] wierd thing is its like on a cron job or something [17:10] only 1 time a day and its before we wake up [17:10] ubuntu 8.10 [17:11] If update-grub says "Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-11-generic" does it mean that the kernel 2.6.27-11-generic is installed on my computer? [17:11] saurabh_: I wouldn't do that.. set it up properly instead [17:11] so every morning its tits and ass staring at my fience [17:11] heh [17:11] usr13, Well, you can use one or the other... it's basically the same.

[17:11] shawnmstout: I would just save the bookmarks and reinstall firefox completely [17:12] shawnmstout: "sudo apt-get purge firefox" will clear everything out.. save the stuff you want before you run that [17:12] usr13, When you log-in, before pressing Enter after your password, you will have to press F10, the Session menu will appear [17:12] 1 sec guys, phone [17:12] Slart I had one where that would not work, but it is the first thing to try anyhow [17:12] usr13, You choose KDE, then click OK, then press Enter [17:12] Slart I had to go in and kill .mozilla if I remember correctly [17:12] usr13, GDM or KDM will ask you if you want to make that change permanent, click : Make default session [17:13] usr13, or something like that [17:13] Jack_Sparrow: I wonder if it some kind of scripted/java/flash thing.. never seen anything target linux before so I'm guessing it's using something portable [17:13] sipior /dev/sda5 9614116 3133748 5991996 35% /home [17:13] ? [17:13] Slart YEs, it is a problem within FF [17:13] Jack_Sparrow, I have just upgraded my system to Ubuntu 8.10. However, every time I boot my computer I end up with ubuntu 8.10 but with the kernel "2.6.24-19-generic". When booting the computer, Grub never allows me to boot into the new kernel which is what I would like to do. How do I fix this? [17:13] usr13, then you will be logged in... in a KDE Session [17:13] jackmayol: right, so that line shows a separate /home partition. [17:13] oki [17:13] thx :) [17:14] Skeptiker LEts look at your grub menu.lst one sec [17:14] hey [17:14] i reinstalled ubuntu with correct mount point but is there any way i could get my contents in the partition back?? [17:14] Skeptiker sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /boot/grub/menu.lst [17:14] Raphi974: I followed instructions at: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-KDE-4-1-On-Ubuntu-8-04-91034.shtmlhttp://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-KDE-4-1-On-Ubuntu-8-04-91034.shtml [17:14] But I only get gnome sessions, no KDE. === Guest1151 is now known as pho3n [17:15] bhuvi: if it's been overwritten by the installer, i doubt it. [17:15] Jack_Sparrow, http://pastebin.com/f16cb1cc2 [17:15] Skeptiker you can shift ctrl-v to paste that command into a term [17:15] ok sorry guys im back [17:16] usr13, so you're under Ubuntu 8.04 ? [17:16] I have installed KDE in ubuntu. it was like apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [17:16] but the file system seems to be intact [17:16] let me scroll up and read what u wrote [17:16] bhuvi: what did you do to it, exactly? [17:16] anyone know of any dvd ripping software? === nicolas_ is now known as Guest20455 [17:16] bhuvi: you may just try mounting it normally. perhaps all is well. [17:16] Skeptiker Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic is the newest kernel in that list [17:17] ok hey thanks alot guys ill run the purge now [17:17] ndf http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/ [17:17] ndf, http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=281232 [17:17] i was definitely suprised though getting spyware and cant find the plugin either [17:17] what if its some type of cron job running? [17:17] cause it only happens at a certain time? [17:17] is there a way to check this? [17:17] Jack_Sparrow, yes. But shouldn't it have upgraded it to the newer "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-11-generic" kernel automatically? [17:18] Skeptiker Ubuntu lsb_release -a next [17:18] 233 [17:18] how can i install amarok codecs? [17:18] Skeptiker: Got a question, I need to pin my kernel so update manager and apt-get/aptitude both see the pin === ubuntu_ is now known as nkei0 [17:18] Skeptiker that menu list shows you still on the earlier version. How did you upgrade [17:19] now i reinstalled ubuntu with correct mount point but how the contents can be brought back [17:19] bhuvi They can not if you fromatted the partition and wrote over them [17:19] Skeptiker: 1) Did he reboot? 2) did grub get updated? [17:19] i didnt format it [17:19] sorry.. had a short network outage... [17:20] Anyone here want to help me get my display to work again? I upgraded to the new ati radeon driver and accidentally restarted without configuring the device. I can't X to start due to no screens detected. I can however boot the livecd and that's how I'm on here. === Brucey is now known as Bruce [17:20] Jack_Sparrow, http://pastebin.com/m7e12a7ed I upgraded it via Synaptics [17:20] Skeptiker Ubuntu lsb_release -a next jst to verify what release you are currently on and tell us how you tried to upgrade your release [17:20] bhuvi: what was the filesystem on the other partition? you can just try mounting it with "mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt/disk", with the appropriate substitutions for your system. [17:20] it was ntfs [17:20] bhuvi: for example, "ext3 instead of ntfs", change the mount point and device, etc... [17:21] nkeiO: you can boot live CD, and mount HD on mnt and copy /etc/x11/xorg.conf to hard disk, reboot then configure your driver [17:21] Skeptiker so lsb shows it right [17:21] Azazel-AZ, yes, my computer did reboot correctly. I do not know if grup got updated (however, I've tried running update-grup a few times) [17:21] Skeptiker uname -r [17:21] did you check menu.lst? [17:21] Azazel-AZ: OKay, how do I mount HD on mnt? [17:21] Does anyone know of a package that I could use to create dynamically linked help files. like .chm's or .hlp'?. The save format is not a concern since its for personal use, saving study notes etc.. [17:21] trying to find package msgmerge binary -- not finding it anywhere? [17:21] ok, try this [17:22] mkdir /mnt/harddisk [17:22] How do I start svnserve ...as user "svn"? [17:22] Jack_Sparrow, uname -r: 2.6.24-19-generic [17:22] bhuvi: do you know the disk and partition number? [17:22] sda6 [17:22] Holmen: su - svn && ./svnserve [17:22] Holmen: assuming your in the correct dir [17:22] Azazel-AZ, the new kernel is not in menu.lst: http://pastebin.com/f16cb1cc2 [17:22] mount -t auto /dev/sdX /mnt/harddisk where x is your linux partition [17:22] Skeptiker HAve you done all of your updates since the iniitial upgrade [17:22] bhuvi: so it will be something like "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda6 /mnt/" [17:22] slart, there didn't seem to be any errors after running the tail /log and kernel/log , what should I do now, I really need to log in :P [17:23] ok, add it, run grub, reboot. make sure you also change the default boot # to the new kernel [17:23] hey there [17:23] Photoguy: I have no idea.. wubi isn't my thing.. sorry [17:23] bhuvi: if all is well, your files should be in /mnt [17:23] Azazel-AZ: How do I tell which partition is my linux one? [17:23] Jack_Sparrow, I have no upgrades to do (according to the upgrade manager) [17:23] Azazel-AZ that assumes the kernel is actually in his system [17:24] Slart Well, it's just the same as any other installation, just doesn't have it's own partition. [17:24] sudo fdisk /dev/sda then type p to print partitions [17:24] if you Ctrl-Backspace, does every windowed pid get killed? [17:24] Photoguy and that is precisely why I wont use trust nor recommend using it [17:24] Jack_Sparrow, well, what I said is not completely true. If I allow intrepid-proposed I suddenly get a lot of updates available. Should I do that? [17:24] Azazel-AZ: It's showing that I have two, how can I tell which one is the correct one? [17:25] Skeptiker not proposed [17:25] Photoguy: sorry.. I wouldn't know what to do if a full install did that either [17:25] is one a swap? [17:25] hi i need some help with my smb shares..i have a external hhd hooked to my laptop and i went to sharing options and checked each check box..when im on my ps3 via ubuntu it tells me i am unable to mount the shared drive???? [17:25] Slart, ok, I see. [17:25] i was able to mount it but the problem is i lost my important files in the partition and i want it back [17:25] Azazel-AZ: Well I have two linux, two linux/swap, and one extended [17:25] ok, try this instead. got a usb stick drive? [17:25] Does anybody else have any idea what to do when it hangs up on the login screen? [17:26] Skeptiker We can try to add it manually to your menu.lst [17:26] Photoguy: Reboot, Intrepid is annoying the hell out of me with that [17:26] Photoguy: You should try booting with acpi=off [17:26] anyone from brazil? [17:26] nkei0: how? [17:26] hold pwr button for 10 seconds [17:26] Skeptiker which kernel ? 7 and 9 ? generic [17:27] Azazel-AZ: I did, several times. [17:27] Hi. I wanted to change screen resolution in Ubuntu and I mistakenly pressed 'Off' and after I clicked Apply the screen went blank ... so I tried rebooting computer and after I login it goes black again...is there any solution to this please [17:27] unplug and remove battery if applicable [17:27] Photoguy: When the boot menu comes up press "e" then go down to the kernel and press "e", then add "acpi=off" at the end of the long line where it has quiet and splash at [17:27] bastones, try booting in recovery mode. [17:27] que onda lokos [17:27] nkei0: i'll try that [17:27] wat's up locos [17:28] Jack_Sparrow, "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-11-generic" Is the one I want.

[17:29] Hi, I have a wine related issue, and i understand this is Ubuntu but i tried the #winehq server and they were unable to help me. Im using Ubuntu Hardy and i am having an issue with ALSA when i open up winecfg their is only the OSS driver listed under list of audio drivers whereas normally there should be an ALSA driver, im using pulseaudio and an intel HDA card [17:30] type ls /mnt/harddisk and see if you /etc? [17:30] Jack_Sparrow, Will this work: http://pastebin.com/m686ff18 ?I am not sure about the arguments after "root=" [17:31] Azazel-AZ: lost+found came up [17:31] Skeptiker http://pastebin.com/d7c58d8d2 [17:31] ok, try the other linxu one. first umount /mnt/harddisk and mount the other and try that onme [17:31] one [17:31] Photoguy I tried booting into safe mode but still went black [17:32] Jack_Sparrow, Might I ask why you entered .27-7 and not .27-11? [17:32] bastones, try asking someone how to reset or something maybe. [17:32] Azazel-AZ: I tried unmount /mnt/harddisk and it said command not found [17:32] umount sorry [17:33] its short for umount lmao [17:33] I want to set up a mail server. I remember hearing about different types: like postfix, sendmail. What should I use? [17:33] bastones, sorry, I'm kind of new also :) [17:33] Skeptiker -7 is the original that came on ibex.. I added -9 to this one.. http://pastebin.com/d1d2d02ae [17:34] Azazel-AZ: Okay, I unmounted, and mounted to the other sda. I then did the ls thingie and the home directory came up with /usr, /etc, /boot and all that [17:35] Does anyone know of a good gdm editor [17:35] kewl. sudo cp /mnt/harddisk/etc/x11/xorg.conf /mnt/harddisk/etc/x11/xorg.backup [17:35] Skeptiker -11 http://pastebin.com/d633c77af [17:35] Jack_Sparrow, thank you. I'll try them and see if any of them works [17:35] does anyone else's evolution suddenly start after suspend? [17:36] hello [17:36] then. sudo cp /etc/x11/xorg.conf /mnt/harddisk/mnt/x11/xorg.conf [17:36] Skeptiker YOu ahve a lot going n in there with frebsd and that netbooin thing [17:36] Azazel-AZ: I copied what you said and pasted it in and it said that it cannot stat because the file or directory doesn't exist [17:36] try this [17:36] Jack_Sparrow, btw. Can I safely remove old ones? My list is getting quite big (excluding the ones you just added) [17:36] cd /mnt/harddisk/etc/x11 [17:37] should be X11 [17:37] huhu =) [17:37] Skeptiker Always save yourself a known stable one to go back to [17:37] in capitals [17:37] thanks [17:37] cool [17:37] I have a problem on ubuntu display (mostly firefox) : somes characters are unreadable but I still can copy/paste and I will get the right string [17:37] nkei0: I tried acpi=off, but no success, still stuck at login window [17:37] try it again like ghostlines said [17:37] Azazel-AZ: Yeah ghost was right [17:37] ok, now sudo reboot [17:37] X!! looks right to me.. all caps [17:37] Jack_Sparrow, thanks. The netbooting isn't displayed by Grub so I have no idea what it does [17:38] and remove cd when prompted [17:38] Does anyone know of a good gdm editor [17:38] Photoguy: okay, try it again with "acpi=off", "noapic", and "nolapic" [17:38] Skeptiker good luck those options should let you get back in even if they dont fix the prob [17:38] nkei0: all three at once? [17:39] Photoguy: Yeah, that's what I had to do when I first installed it on my Acer Aspire laptop. I've since gotten it down to where I am only using "acpi=off" [17:39] brb, rebooting [17:39] ok === Zzero is now known as aleX-xx [17:41] Ok then, I reloaded my computer because my wireless wasn't working anymore on this one only, (works on other computers with 8.10) but it still won't work, can anyone help me [17:41] hey there.. can anybody help me with my grub-problem..?

[17:48] nkei0: hasn't logged back in yet I think [17:48] detrate Is it possible to grep for some string and output also couple of lines before and after found line?

[17:53] shawnmstout: the binaries? or the settings? [17:53] slart: what is the 'group', is that like a folder of users that I can set global permissions for, instead of a base by base case? [17:53] i want to completely remove it [17:53] so i guess both [17:53] er, case by case basis [17:53] (from what I can tell; I do reproduce it here; but can't on other OS/browsers) [17:53] shawnmstout, if you used the package manager to install.. use it to remove.

[17:54] spyware [17:54] and yes i looked for plugins [17:54] none there [17:54] hi all [17:54] hi [17:54] anyone using intrepid? [17:54] shawnmstout, and its not going to remove the bookmarks and stuff.. removing the SYSTEM firefox will NOT NOT NOT touch the users settings [17:54] yes [17:54] adam__: in linux there are users and groups.. all files are owned by a group and a user..a user can belong to many groups.. so there are groups for users that can print stuff, users that can use the soundcard, users allowed to use mail etc etc etc [17:54] When you make an USB thumb drive with ubuntu 8.10 is it suppose to ask for your language each time you boot? [17:54] shawnmstout, to remove the USERS settings remove them from the .firefox or .mozilla directory [17:55] nkei0, did you have problems with font rendering? [17:55] shawnmstout, no need to remove firefox from the system for that. [17:55] ok where do i find that at dr? === AliTarihi_ is now known as AliTarihi [17:55] shawnmstout: .firefox or .mozilla in your home folder are the usualy settings folders [17:55] shawnmstout, in the users home directory - every users stuff is there..

[18:00] shawnmstout, learn to use the shell.. its our friend. [18:00] moljac024: what are you doing in here dude? [18:00] nkei0: thanks for your help. [18:00] slb_: this isn't my computer [18:00] grumpy: It shouldn't unless it's trying to install every time? [18:00] shawnmstout: and you want to look in /home/shawnmstout/ or whatever your login name is [18:00] no .settings folder [18:00] the owner isn't very tech savy [18:00] in the root [18:00] grumpy: it's like a live cd so yes it would [18:00] and he needs it to access hot spots [18:00] moljac024: you should be installing arch on the box asap [18:00] .config but only 1 file there [18:01] the6step, if you do "sudo apt-get install gvim", it'll tell you the name of the package is vim-gnome if you use gnome [18:01] woernsn YOu need to run those commands against the hard drive not from the live part of the session.. I am also running out of time [18:01] MrElendig: not my box :D [18:01] edgy, any way i can make the usb drive like a regular hard disk? [18:01] I'm just supposed to fix it [18:01] later guys [18:01] moljac024, what version of ubuntu is he using? [18:01] grumpy: you can make a persistent install on the usb just like you install to a hard drive [18:01] moljac024 the fix might mean buying a fully supported card [18:01] it's 8.04 [18:01] edgy, oh, ok, nothing special to it, just do it in the same way as I would a hard disk? [18:01] I believe everything worked ok when I installed it [18:01] grumpy: I haven't tried it before but it should work normally [18:01] I upgraded to interpid and now the other disks cannot be accessed, or mounted, is there a better thingy than Wine that works for this so that I can move certain files that I wish to keep before the full Linux install? [18:01] dr willis care if i msg u? [18:01] offtopic: i finally learned who aXXo is:) [18:02] Does anybody know how (or know of a forum thread) about how to bypass the graphical login screen?

[18:02] slb_: that's the thing [18:02] Photoguy, that should switch to console 1, then here you can log in in text mode, and remove the theme [18:02] ok how do i delete the history out cause im not seeing a .settings in the root directory [18:03] nm-applet doesn't seem to recogize the wireless card [18:03] But, does it go to the desktop and all that? [18:03] shawnmstout, that was a example name Firefx stuff is saved in --> .mozilla/ [18:03] moljac024, sure that the laptop has no on/off switch for the wifi radio [18:03] also, I tried opening synaptic and it just doesn't start [18:04] slb_: sure [18:04] jdfjdsfe [18:04] moljac024, try sudo aptitude [18:04] shawnmstout, and for example 'Wine' stuff is saved in --> .wine/ [18:04] can someone bork Ubuntu this much ? [18:04] Hi everyone. I just got out of a huge problem yesterday, by reinstalling grub and being able to boot ubuntu 8.10 again. Unfortunately though, after being able to back into ubuntu and installing a new kernel Ive been having terrible problems. After a few minutes of logging in, i get abruptely logge out and have to log back in (so all my apps are closed). Then, after a few more minutes my computer freezes. The screen freezes completely, the clock stops running [18:04] and i cant use the mouse or keyboard. Any idea what could be causing this and if I should downgrade my kernel and if so how? Thanks in advance, I hope i get help before my pc freeezes again. [18:04] slb_: I tried the gnome menu entry [18:04] can someone please tell me how to change screen resolution in terminal as I cannot login it just goes black [18:04] that should include gksudo [18:04] right ?

[18:04] NicDumZ: Thanks [18:04] ok but im not seeeing .mozilla .firefox or anything similar [18:04] im having issues compiling cdirip 6.2 [18:04] how can i find out where its installed [18:04] moljac024, it should ask for password from menu [18:04] the6step, welcome =) [18:05] shawnmstout, are you looking in the USERS home directory? or root's home ? /root vs /home/username/ [18:05] moljac024, hold on, there's another wireless/wired network manager that's good, can't recall, anyone else?? [18:05] slb_: it doesn't, I'm afraid of even begging to look a little deeper to find out what the heck is wrong with the system [18:05] I have known people that could bork anything up ubuntu.conversations,living life,windows,dos,any distro you name it [18:05] i have looked in both placed [18:05] places* [18:05] slb_: do you mean wicd ? [18:05] HI! Just disabled and enabled wireless network (right mouse on tray), but it stopped to work! === awesome is now known as Guest22306 [18:06] It's like those people the Bork running away from a monster in a horror movie [18:06] yes, tried it? [18:06] Hi [18:07] I Thank you all kindly for the help and information. [18:07] shawnmstout, then i imagine you are either doing somthng basic wrong.. or its gone. as a USER.. no need to be root at all use the command ' ls -al .mozilla ' [18:07] moljac024, yes, wicd [18:07] I have a little problem on intrepid. I sometimes have a "GTK1 look" theme, instead of the normal "GTK2". I have an autoconnect [18:07] ill try that [18:07] http://rafb.net/p/yedZ2v61.html [18:07] :S [18:07] anyone else think that evolution-exchange sucks [18:08] moljac024, what does iwconfig show?

[18:08] I like the word "sucks" i think it's funny [18:08] slb_: hold on [18:08] HI! Just disabled and enabled wireless network (right mouse on tray), but it stopped to work! Can anyone help? I have atheros wireless card. I used this manual http://unsharptech.com/2008/10/31/atheros-wireless-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex/ to set it up first, but now it doesn't work [18:09] ok [18:09] Photoguy, I'm looking for info right now. gnome theme, right ? [18:09] Yes [18:09] hi all... say I installed ubuntu on my grandma's PC... how can I remotely admin her machine? [18:09] NicDumZ: yes [18:09] !remote [18:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about remote [18:09] ikaruga2099: ssh is a good start [18:09] ikaruga2099: the rest can be done from there [18:09] oh hey dr_Willis :) [18:09] <_VIM_> !vnc [18:09] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.

[18:09] anybody know how to mount a LG Mobile Phone? [18:09] ikaruga2099, ssh, and vncserver, - but you got to be sure you can get through her router/isp to her machine. :) [18:09] ikaruga2099 you can ssh her ip and log in that way [18:10] FreshPrince, with a cable.. most of those have a 'usb mode' you have to enable in the menus [18:10] thatl's the problem .... [18:10] moljac024, gotta go, IM me if you need more help [18:10] guys ... ssh/vnc require that she's not behind a firewall... However, I'm sure there are programs that will allow her to connect to ME ... as opposed to the other way [18:11] you just need to configure the firewall to allow the ssh traffic [18:11] or am I wrong? [18:11] steve_baker: don't have access to it .... [18:11] you could setup an ssh server on your end [18:11] ah... I see remote help assistant... [18:11] Photoguy, seems quite hard. Can you try renaming the folder of the faulty theme ? [18:11] ikaruga2099: I think realvnc had a small executable that initiated the connection to your vnc client [18:11] and have them run an ssh client with a reverse tunnel [18:11] hey im getting a segmentation fault when trying to run asterisk's oh323 channel on ubuntu? anyone has any idea on how to fix that? [18:11] NicDumZ: I can't login at all [18:11] slb_: I found it [18:12] roaming mode was off [18:12] Photoguy, but you can login doing ctrl+alt+f1 ! [18:12] in some network configuration program [18:12] i have a simple microsoft usb optical mouse and the scroll wheel doesn't work in intrepid, any ideas? [18:12] . [18:12] steve_baker: any tutorials on how to do that? [18:12] NicDumZ: no, it just goes to the terminal [18:12] moljac024, good to go? [18:12] Photoguy, yes, then login in the terminal [18:12] I recall him saying that somebody was trying to set up a wireless connection for him [18:12] Photoguy, and rename the folder from the terminal [18:12] must have been a dumb tard [18:12] :D [18:12] NicDumZ: oh...

[18:50] Hi. I have installed ubuntu 8.10 on my mothers computer instead of win xp. But i can't get the lan to work, lspci says that a broadcom corp. NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit ethernet PCI Express is there? [18:51] is there any reason to put partitions in any particular order? If I want to separate my home directory and /, should I put one infront of the other or does it matter at all? [18:51] hi all, on 8.04 i've got the latest repo drivers for nvidia (version 169 nvidia-glx-new).... This version is old so I uninstalled it and then downloaded the latest 180 drivers from nvidia.... ran the installer and have it compile the kernel module... restarted the machine and X doesn't start up nor can I get to tt0 shell login.... the monitor is on but nothing there... machine only responds to ctrl-alt-del, ctrl-alt-backspace has no effect. I didn't [18:51] modify xorg.conf. I managed to ssh into the machine and fix it by removing 180 and restoring the old drivers from the repositories.... but i still need the new version... any idea what happened there ? thanks [18:51] how do i list all my dev devices? [18:51] alex_sleiborg: what does ifconfig say? [18:51] npobajl: yea.. realized that after I hit enter.. sorry 'bout that.. didn't read fully. If it was an upgraded system just rename ~./xchat2 to something and see if that fixes it.

But lspci says that is a AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express adapter [18:56] alex_sleiborg: had a WiFi card like that.... couldn't get it to work no matter what! [18:57] Scunizi Houston i just belive i saw a version specially for it.. but i suppose she should try google for ubuntu and i868 [18:57] alex_sleiborg: that device is easy to get working, if you can give me about 20min or so.. i'll be right back and talk you through it [18:57] alex_sleiborg: are you sure your ISP has added your MAC address in his list?

If you do have a router beside you that's another story... but if you got router there I still can't figure out why doesn't he give you an internal IP address... [19:01] unop: What is a NC10?

Is there such a thing yet? [19:10] b^j:....? [19:10] jrib, i thought there was a big deal about it [19:10] Elfanne, I'm pretty sure it's because your subnet is "10.10.10.0" if you were to change that to subnet 10.0.0.0 I believe it will work out. Alternatively you could set your subnet to 255.255.255.0 and your option broadcast-address to 10.10.10.255 [19:10] ruben231, you shouldn't need to have a zone if you aren't serving names for your domain [19:10] hatter243, I used it just to make a difference between my to differents networks here ... is it bad ?

[19:12] ruben231, if i am understanding your question properly yes [19:13] ruben231, well, no -- the external zone is only used for hosts on the internet wanting to resolve hosts in your domain .. for you on an internal network, an internal zone should suffice -- you might need both depending on your needs [19:14] is upgrading from Feisty directly to Intrepid suggested/supported?

[19:46] was just thinkning that carpii_ many partition types can be resized, if that's also an issue, so you could make room for your new partition [19:47] latexer: feisty is past its end of life, there's places where you can download CDs with the old sources, so you can upgrade [19:47] s0101_: no, but it's quite likely. Of course there won't be any MSNMS traffic until someone gets on there and starts chatting. [19:47] or to tell it that there is still some activity going on, so don't sleep the screen?

[19:48] latexer, did you ADD the lines to sources.list, or did you changed "gutsy" to "feisty"? [19:48] Arcsighter, you need to add rules into iptables PREROUTING chain [19:48] NicDumZ: I tried both approaches. [19:48] just google for iptables port forwarding, im sure theres tutes [19:48] NicDumZ: if I *changed* them, then it failed in a different way.

During the actual upgrade process ("Modify the software channels" to be exact) it warns 'No valid mirror found' [19:54] therealnanotube, i was just looking to see what meta packages there are [19:54] NicDumZ: with the options to rewrite the source.list file anyway, or click 'no' to cancel.

[19:56] incorrect: well, the most famous ones are things like 'ubuntu-desktop' and 'kubuntu-desktop' [19:56] latexer, what about doing this commandline ? I'm really not familiar with the graphical blahblah [19:56] therealnanotube, i meant for development [19:56] NicDumZ: via "apt-get dist-upgrade" ? [19:56] latexer, yes, after updating ?

[19:57] Does anyone know how to send dynamic dns updates so a windows dns server will get the hostname updates for dhcp clients using the new ubuntu network manager? The old way was to use the dhclient.conf and put a few lines of config in there. But since that no longer gets read I don't know where to put the info. [19:57] latexer, no, it'll probably give a more precise error message [19:57] Aside from manually running nsupdate [19:58] latexer, maybe the repo you have on your sources.list are a bit "crowded" now, dunno. let's see [19:58] kriss3d: why do you need to patch madwifi?..

[20:01] ok, so there is no way to get the file while logged on via SSH [20:01] no [20:01] NicDumZ: Thanx BTW [20:01] NicDumZ: i think i'll try seeing if the "use the alternate CD" approach works before commiting to a hands on dist-upgrade.

[20:04] NicDumZ: for this upgrade, til at least all the further upgrades all exist on us.archive.ubuntu.com [20:04] NicDumZ: since the fact that the old sytem is on a different mirror than the new one seems to be the source of the network upgrade problem? [20:04] maybe i'm making too much of that difference though. [20:04] what is dev sr0 ?

[20:07] Hullo everyone.. Short question: what's the tool called when you drag the cursor e.g. in the upper left corner and get all your workspaces? [20:07] latexer, well you just tell apt to look for gutsy instead of feisty... [20:07] NicDumZ: yeah, I'm quickly realizing I should just try it. (: [20:07] caci are you using VM ?

[20:12] jointer: what wireless card? [20:12] therealnanotube: will certainly sir but how do i do it i have no idea and in main menu how do i change the icon of the terminal sir ? [20:12] anyone have a recommendation for a bot that posts irc logs automatically to a website? [20:13] tsakr Why do we need yet another one [20:13] hi [20:13] tv7497: select the terminal item, and click the "properties" button. there, you can click on the icon, and it will let you select another. [20:13] hi [20:13] Jack_Sparrow, I need one for my channel [20:13] :) [20:13] Ok, so I had packages that where not compatible with 8.10, what can I do now?

I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [20:15] :P [20:15] well i tried the dual boot of Ubuntu, and i want to full install, But when i have ubuntu up and i start up the "install" exe on the desktop i get to step 4 of 7 and i dont know what to do from that [20:15] therealnanotube: Yeah, lots of interface upgrades went into 8.10. :) Unfortunately lots of drivers were broken with the 2.6.27 kernel... [20:15] how many GB should i add as swap for a new ubuntu installation ? [20:15] GeffIsLegend that is the partitioning section [20:16] hrm yea, like the eyetoy (ps2 webcam) driver, it seems. [20:16] !swap [20:16] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [20:16] DJ_HaMsTa no more than 4 [20:16] jointer: i don't know... :/ I had issues with wireless on my laptop in 8.10+ so I downgraded to 8.04 when everything was working... [20:16] oh okay, What would i have to do to fully install Ubuntu from that? [20:16] can i install windows xp on my computer but still want to have ubuntu on.. or should i install windows first and then ubuntu [20:16] Jack_Sparrow: but i have 10gb is that bad :o? [20:16] that doesn't really solve the problem though... [20:16] DJ_HaMsTa: read that swapfaq :) [20:16] ty [20:16] il just add 4 lol [20:16] GeffIsLegend what options do you see, there should be one to use the entire disk [20:16] therealnanotube: Yeah, my old Logitech Quickcam used to work in 8.04 its no longer recognized. [20:17] TheEdge_, windows first, then ubuntu definitely [20:17] i know what swap is, just wanted to know what the standard was [20:17] failers: not /bad/, but you are wasting hd space. [20:17] failers: problem is I cant get networking to work again [20:17] TheEdge_, give windows the first partition on the first drive for your own sanity [20:17] DJ_HaMsTa: the faq also would have recommendations on size [20:17] no, it apears and the selection box is completely blank [20:17] DJ_HaMsTa double ram up to 4 gigs.. [20:17] therealnanotube: well got 600gb so 5 gb here and there ^^ [20:17] therealnanotube: Think I need any SWAP partition if i've got 8GB of RAM? [20:17] Can I install Ubuntu 8.10 and Ubuntu 8.04 on the same drive? [20:17] Jack_Sparrow: i need to download one simialr man [20:17] sholsinger: mine also. It appears that web cams are an issue in 8.10 [20:17] GeffIsLegend so there are no available selections that are not greyed out? [20:18] Irishman2020: just reinstall whole ubuntu then :/ ? [20:18] vigo, yes. You can choose which to boot from grub [20:18] okay.. :( running ubuntu now.. just hope that i could install xp [20:18] Hi [20:18] Irishman2020: or add the cdrom as repository and then do apt-get reinstall gnome [20:18] !grub | TheEdge_ you can [20:18] TheEdge_ you can: 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 [20:18] no, i didnt see any, im on my windows ATM, Should i get on Ubuntu to help this a little more? [20:18] Hi, I'm trying to append a line to all files in a directory and its subdirectories (i.e. recursively). The " echo this is a test >> * " command doesn't work. Where am I going wrong? [20:18] DJ_HaMsTa: generally... what Jack_Sparrow says is sensible... but depends on your usage pattern. if you have 4g of ram, and never use it up, you could just throw in a 1g swap for 'just in case' and be ok. to be able to hibernate, need at least as much swap as ram, though. [20:19] sholsinger: probably not... but it never hurts to put in a little one, for "just in case".

[20:19] tripzero: well, this driver should be prepared for use of CRDA (the database), see http://www.linux-archive.org/archlinux-development/221574-libnl-1-1-1-iw-0-9-7-1-crda-0-9-5-1-a.html - i cannot find this configuration file in Ubuntu [20:19] DJ_HaMsTa how big is your drive [20:19] sholsinger: 8gb is nice. :) [20:19] what is the name of the network config gui app?

[20:21] thanks for the help [20:21] Hi, I'm trying to append a line to all files in a directory and its subdirectories (i.e. recursively). The " echo this is a test >> * " command doesn't work. Where am I going wrong? [20:21] DJ_HaMsTa one sec [20:22] is there a way to install ubuntu without the cd, and by install i mean a full installation so i wont have windows anymore [20:22] DJ_HaMsTa not my choice.. no [20:22] what would you choose ?

Is there anyway to disable the touchpad when I'm in the middle of typing something? [20:23] oh okay, because i dont have any blank cd's to use, and all my blank cd's are only 700mbs so i dont think thats enough room, right? [20:23] everytime i try to go to phpmyadmin: http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin I get a popup saying : You have chosen to open ---- which is a PHTML file What should Firefox do with this file? I've tried to reinstall phpmyadmin several times, but it doesn't change anything, thanks [20:23] gggj [20:23] vigo: i doubt wubi can delete Windows, since it runs inside of windows. [20:24] hello [20:24] Ikan, http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/09/20/disable-touchpad-temporarily-when-typing/ [20:24] GeffIsLegend: You should be fine with 700mb CDrs, thats what I use. Just make sure you download the CD iso and not a DVD iso. [20:24] hello [20:24] Simple question again: what can i put in the "run" box to get a gui network manager? [20:24] GeffIsLegend: 700 should be enough.. but if you have no blank CDs, can your PC boot a thumb drive, and do you have a 1gig thumb drive available? === tmi is now known as ChronosZA [20:24] GeffIsLegend: you could use a usb stick if your bios support it and if you got one :P [20:24] what about networkmanager and gprs/gsm connection, via usb or bluetooth ? is there a doc somewhere ? [20:25] Irishman2020, gnome-network ? [20:25] DJ_HaMsTa would create 20 ntfs an extended of 300, Logical 60 for /, logical 60 for /home, logical 60 for/data plus a swap [20:25] hello, anyone know of a howto for setting up a ubuntu print server for printers connected directly to the network via ip address?

[20:26] Irishman2020, in KDE knetworkmanager [20:26] Hi, I'm trying to append a line to all files in a directory and its subdirectories (i.e. recursively). The " echo this is a test >> * " command doesn't work. Where am I going wrong? [20:26] what about xfce aar? [20:27] wick2o, it's a simple feature of cups, no particular thing to do.

I am trying to install "bandwidthd" and it says something about missing LSB style header or something? http://paste.ubuntu.com/112949/ [20:28] i assume by localhost you mean the remove ip address of the printer [20:28] Irishman2020, this might help: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2008-01/msg01354.html [20:28] what can I do then to try to repair my network connection? I cant get anything but 127.0.0.1 [20:28] aar: a) globs don't expand recursively, b) you'd still need a loop even if they did, or 'tee' [20:28] would you guys suggest 8.10 or 8.04 for running World of Warcraft, Which one would it probably run smoother on? [20:28] Irishman2020: you're probably looking at the wrong connection [20:28] wick2o, cups is the _printer SERVER_ (cupsd). It is administrable via http://localhost:631, a webface. [20:28] hurm, think i found wdhat i was looking for on the CUPS website [20:28] lo is the loopback connection [20:28] can someone help me with this error output?

[20:30] vigo (tossing windows out forever? in that case...): Glad you made it! :-) [20:31] GeffIsLegend: well, i would definitely make sure you have a backup.. but how I did it, i partitioned my drive into two different drives.. moved all data to the blank partition, then installed Ubuntu to the partition that had windows (assuming you don't intend to dual boot) [20:31] hi all [20:31] I realy need to know it as mdadm.conf isn't parsed correctly and the /dev/md1 device is not created [20:31] thanks for the help guys [20:31] GeffIsLegend: It would depend on whether your video card driver works properly and supports acceleration.

I am trying to install "bandwidthd" and it says something about missing LSB style header or something? http://paste.ubuntu.com/112949/ [20:31] oh snap, i would have to learn how to do that, with the partitions because i just recently started trying to use Ubuntu [20:32] Ok...installing 8.04 over that windows part, PARTI! [20:32] Thank you all for the help. [20:32] anybody know how to swap out USplash themes on a LiveCD image? [20:32] GeffIsLegend: i would dual-boot until you are comfortable with ubuntu, unless u have another windows pc to do anything urgent on. you dont want to find yourself getting stressed out with something that needs to be done urgently and u cant, it will only turn you against it. [20:33] I am trying to install "bandwidthd" and it says something about missing LSB style header or something? http://paste.ubuntu.com/112949/ [20:33] GeffIsLegend Sorry, I was busy, did you need me to go over something [20:33] oh okay, good point, i understand [20:33] prince_jammys, works perfectly. thanks [20:33] oh no thanks Jack_Sparrow, I think im going to stick with dual booting for now, then when i learn about ubuntu more ill do a full install [20:34] aar: cool [20:34] GeffIsLegend: thats really the best thing to do.. if there's any doubt at all. [20:34] GeffIsLegend I still dual boot.. always have..

If you have an nvidia card and the latest wine, it should just work for you [20:36] is that a program? should i download it on my windows or ubuntu? [20:36] GeffIsLegend: it is an ubuntu command [20:36] GeffIsLegend: That is a shell command to be run in a terminal window.

[21:42] i just need more space on ubuntu to use so i can copy it over :[ [21:42] Slart How can I remove it? [21:42] gidna: google earth? how did you install it? [21:43] by a .bin file [21:43] Is there a linux wallpaper upload website ? [21:43] GeffIsLegend: I've never used wubi so wouldn't really know where to start.. isn't there a manual or some documentation about it? [21:43] rainmanp7: gnome-look.org?

[21:43] Slart thanx :) [21:43] (i did this via CLI) [21:43] ok, I have Heron loaded onto an old desktop, but its been over a year since I've used it on that computer, and I don't remember my admin password, how do I resolve this issue? [21:44] GeffIsLegend: wubi is a "run ubuntu on your windows machine without messing it up"-application [21:44] Why does his hard drive mount at /cdrom/ ? [21:44] oh hah [21:44] Ax3: tight the "other user's directory" permissions [21:44] rainmanp7: you're welcome [21:44] update [21:44] nobody knows? [21:44] well i booted from a disk that i burned [21:44] lukinfore: what do you want to do? get your current up speed? [21:44] GeffIsLegend: I know, but it looks like your hard drive was mounted in the '/cdrom' directory [21:45] yea, and down [21:45] i can use this [21:45] http://pastebin.com/m1b11fd87 [21:45] exit [21:45] or not [21:45] SholSinger: is that bad? this confuses me very much lol [21:45] but i think some ugly way [21:45] erUSUL, how? [21:45] !permissions | Ax3 [21:45] Ax3: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [21:46] Ax3: you can do it with nautilus. rigt click on the home folder choose properties go to the permission tab [21:46] GeffIsLegend: not... bad, just weird. I do show 48Gb of "free space" [21:46] I uses xsane - the pogramm sees two "scanners" the first is the internal cam. Can suppress this selection somewhere, or at least change the order of the devices? [21:46] how can I recover my admin password? [21:46] GeffIsLegend: The problem is, you have resize the partition Windows is on. Gparted *can* do that if I am not mistaken. [21:46] Baatti-> use single user mode [21:46] Baati : do u still have the live CD ? [21:46] SholSinger: yeah thats why i dont understand why i cant use more disk space [21:46] Baatti-> and use passwd [21:47] SholSinger, What is the command i should use in terminal to do so ? [21:47] graingert: could you explain a bit more? What precisely is Single User Mode? [21:47] Proftp can be run either as a service from inetd, or as a standalone server. Can anybody explain me what "as a service from inetd" means. Thnx in advance, i'm new to ubuntu. [21:47] blouf: I don't have the live CD any longer [21:47] GeffIsLegend: try: gksudo gparted [21:48] SholSinger: this is what i got "error: libhal_acquire_global_interface_lock: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.InterfaceAlreadyLocked: The interface org.freedeskdesktop.Hal.Device.Storage is already exclusively locked either by someone else or it's already locked by yourselfubun" [21:48] what is my root password [21:48] GeffIsLegend: Do you have Gparted open already? [21:48] Baati : so use single mode user [21:48] Slart ? [21:48] blouf: what is 'single mode user'? [21:49] lukinfore: have you looked at these tools? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-linux.html there has to be one that does what you want [21:49] erUSUL, FANTASTIC, that did the trick, I had to do it via command line though, since it's a server without a GUI [21:49] lukinfore: I was playing around with nload and iptraf to see if they had any useful options [21:49] no package for that in jaunty? [21:49] not too sure i know what gparted is [21:49] erUSUL, it turned out since the user was part of the users group and the group bits were flipped +r, it could see them! :D [21:49] mjb2287: it is the password you gave when you installed ubuntu [21:49] i think windows 7 rox [21:49] Baati : ask graingert [21:50] ok [21:50] well they are just gui i think === addiaat is now known as AAETPIO [21:50] *i believe [21:50] for clarification, I can log onto my Admin User Account, but apparently I set a root password that was different than my log in password [21:50] GeffIsLegend: Like is there a "Partition Manager" open? [21:51] GeffIsLegend: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/screens/gparted_1_big.jpg [21:51] how do i make snes9x-gtk use alsa instead of oss? [21:51] yeah i have it up now [21:52] no [21:52] mjb2287: did you set an apart password for root?? [21:53] SholSinger: I have gparted up now, What do i do next? [21:53] GeffIsLegend: Okay, that is where you would resize your larger Windows partition to make room for the Ubuntu partition. [21:53] oh okay, how would i do that then? unmount it first? [21:54] i don't think i did [21:54] GeffIsLegend: :) I've got the manual! http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/resize/resizing.htm [21:54] lukinfore: also you might want to look at the output of "cat /proc/net/dev" I'm not sure what all the numbers mean but it looks promising [21:54] oh ok [21:54] appreciate it sholsinger [21:54] is there a default maybe? [21:55] i am attempting to update a fresh ubuntu installation and i want to avoid the kernel update since it is known to break wired and wireless internet on the acer aspire one - does anyone know which package i need to uncheck to avoid getting the new kernel? thanks! [21:55] GeffIsLegend: Yeah, you should be in good hands with that reference. It looks well done. Let me know if you have trouble along the way. [21:55] mjb2287: then you have to give a password for sudo what do you use? [21:55] are there are roomship-production-hall for linux? [21:55] hey how do i get rid of the stuff that comes up when i use find in terminal [21:55] oh okay will do ^^ , ill read up on it now [21:56] like what distro? [21:56] is there a special command or somthing [21:56] mjb2287: the default is your inlog passowrd [21:56] hello everyone, I am just trying to set up my microphone for the first time to record a few readings on my ubuntu install... how do I set up my microphone? It says "audio capture settings are invalid" when I try to enter the sound recording application [21:56] mike12: you want to delete the files you've found? [21:56] Yes [21:56] mike12: or you just want to clear the display? [21:57] i am attempting to update a fresh ubuntu installation and i want to avoid the kernel update since it is known to break wired and wireless internet on the acer aspire one - does anyone know which package i need to uncheck to avoid getting the new kernel? thanks! [21:57] GeffIsLegend: Make sure you read part 2 before you actually do anything. [21:57] mike12: read the man page for find.. there is an --exec switch.. use it with the command "rm" [21:57] i want to completely clear my computer out...its gettin slow [21:57] my wireless connection won't work does anyone know how to fix it [21:58] !doesntwork | Blueghost [21:58] Blueghost: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [21:58] take a wire [21:58] ok i think i figured it out thanks [21:58] does 8.10 come with dhcpcd? [21:58] so i deleted stuff through transmission but the space won't free [21:59] Can someone take a look at this wallpaper I just made it's my first one lol please http://www.gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-files/98717-Desk1.Final2.png [21:59] when I tried to set it up it won't connect I tried to use ndiswapper but I couldn't set it up correctly [21:59] !spam | rainmanp7 [21:59] rainmanp7: Unsure how you should behave on this channel?

[22:00] hey SholSinger [22:00] GeffIsLegend: Yep? [22:00] I can make way better stuff but that was made with gimp [22:00] i mean maybe there a tool that do the same as any net monitor do without using bash to calculate it [22:00] FREENODE [22:00] It doesnt give me the option in Gpart to resize/move, its greyed out [22:00] w00zy: nope, dhclient [22:00] do i need to unmount first? or something [22:00] GeffIsLegend: By the way, make sure you read section 2 of that reference. [22:00] oh yeah , i read it ^^ [22:00] GeffIsLegend: Yeah, that might help. [22:01] and to cut digits from useless output [22:01] ok im trying to completly wipe the history and everything the previous owner did on theis computer what do i do [22:01] GeffIsLegend: Let me know if unmounting it helps. [22:01] rainmanp7: that is off topic please join #ubuntu-offtopic [22:01] anyway thanks [22:01] quick networking question. I'm trying to get eth0 and wlan0 to not start when the network is shutdown. I have in /etc/network/interfaces auto eth0\nallow-hotplug eth0 [22:01] mike12: I would wipe it and reinstall everything.. but that's me.. [22:01] hey Im not an ubuntu user, but I installed it on a buddies pc the other day, Im on the phone right now w/ him trying to get him on the net. But apparently he doesnt have dhcpcd. Is there a tool that ubuntu uses to replace it? [22:01] ok thank you Slart [22:01] w00zy: dhclient [22:01] will that stop eth0 from comeing up upon boot if my system is not plugged in to a lan? [22:02] it wont let me unmount at all [22:02] w00zy: he doesn't need dhcpd to be able to get an ip from a dhcp server [22:02] w00zy: ubuntu comes eith a dhcp client installed by default [22:02] w00zy-> he does not need the dhcpd (acting a server) [22:02] w00zy: dhcpd is the dhcp server daemon [22:02] notte [22:02] w00zy: you need dhclient [22:02] Slart: he/she said dhcpcd [22:02] i didnt ask dhcpd i asked for dhcpcd [22:03] SholSinger : it wont let me unmount, it says /cdrom: device is busy. [22:03] w00zy: dhclient replaces it in ubuntu [22:03] thnx [22:03] I want to play mp3's but I check for it on Add/Remove Application and the Ubuntu Restricted Extras is extremely unpopular. Is it because they our faulty or is it that they are just not popular? The popularity has to be much higher than a single star. [22:03] can I say dhclient eth0? [22:03] GeffIsLegend: hang on... [22:03] are* opps >< [22:03] w00zy: most distros use dhclient now a days [22:03] soundray, w00zy: oooh.. dhcpcd..my bad [22:03] w00zy: yes [22:03] soundray: thnx man [22:04] w00zy: ubuntu invokes it automatically in any typical setup [22:04] I have ubuntu 8.04 i386 installed and it freezes everytime at the step hardware abstraction layer hald? Anyone have any ideas? [22:04] dmi3on: i am here, you gave me the server command, whats your client command? [22:04] squidly: most distros? [22:04] What's either a good rich text editor or HTML viewer for X11? [22:05] soundray: almost every distro runs dhcp init code in init anyhow, but sometimes you need to give it a manual touch [22:05] w00zy: yea like gentoo, ubuntu, most of them I know use dhclient for getting dhcp address [22:05] theunixgeek: bluefish [22:05] hello [22:05] list [22:06] fosco_: as a rich text editor? [22:06] theunixgeek: html viewer --> any web browser like firefox [22:06] w00zy: for a manual touch, try 'sudo ifup eth0' (substitute the actual interface name for eth0) [22:06] erUSUL: I was hoping for something simpler [22:06] how do i check what glibc i'm running? [22:06] theunixgeek: rtf editor openoffice abiword etc. [22:06] user_, run thightvnc or ultravnc from vista [22:06] thnx I appreciate your guys' help im not an ubuntuian [22:07] user_, and i both i get same screen [22:07] erUSUL: I was hoping for something more TWM/Motif-like ;) [22:07] is that even the correct word or is it ubuntite? [22:07] theunixgeek: I think emacs can do rtf editing [22:07] !info dillo [22:07] dillo (source: dillo): Small and fast web browser. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.8.6-3 (intrepid), package size 408 kB, installed size 1140 kB [22:07] Ainulph: a lot of people install Ubuntu Restricted Extras....just do and listen to mp3 and judge for yourself [22:07] dmi3on: uh, dont know nothing about vista, sorry :-( [22:08] w00zy: ubuntooth :) [22:08] anyone know why the hardware abstarction layer hald step would freeze? I have removed all my extra cards so it was close to minimum hw [22:09] user_, i think probelem is with server because if i run sudo vncserver everything works fine only i cant kill server with comman vncserver -kill :1 [22:09] i am attempting to update a fresh ubuntu installation and i want to avoid the kernel update since it is known to break wired and wireless internet on the acer aspire one - does anyone know which package i need to uncheck to avoid getting the new kernel? thanks! [22:10] what is good sound recording software for ubuntu? [22:10] user_, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/vnc-server-and-red-hat-8-blank-screen-103360/ that is exactly like my problem i just have blank startup [22:10] dmi3on: hmm, i think you can kill any program by using: kill -9 $pid [22:10] user_, in fron should be vcnserver ? [22:10] svensko: the upgrade will install a new kernel, but it will not remove the current one. You will still be able to pick the old kernel from the grub menu. [22:10] SholSinger, Anything? [22:10] GeffIsLegend: I'm not sure how this would be done. [22:11] soundray: will it be clear in the grub menu as far as switching between them? [22:11] GeffIsLegend: I'm researching a bit. [22:11] soundray: or should i find a certain command? [22:11] dmi3on: sorry, what is "fron"? [22:11] svensko: I suggest you do the full upgrade, then try the new kernel and see if it really fails. If it does, reboot and select the old kernel [22:11] svensko: do a uname -r to see what you are running now. [22:11] i'm trying to install postgresql, but i get an error "unsafe permissions on private key file "server.key", which doesn't even exist. anyone know how to proceed? this is 8.04 [22:12] user_,what do i type when i whant to kill server :1 ? [22:12] svensko: the latest one is 2.6.27-11-generic [22:12] darn...i dont understand why its being so difficult... [22:12] soundray: -11 is known to break it, i did a full install earlier and it broke it, there's an entire thread about it affecting all of the atheros notebooks [22:13] svensko: you can set a default entry to boot in /boot/grub/menu.lst [22:13] SholSinger, Do you know if i did the full install of ubuntu , Would it just give me the option to transfer what files i want to go into ubuntu? [22:13] i will do a full install then work with the grub menu though, thank you! :) [22:13] dmi3on: ps axu | grep vncserver to find the process id. then "kill -9 $processid" (replace $processid with _your_ value) [22:13] svensko: works fine on my atheros notebook :) [22:13] user_, thx [22:13] does anyone here use xchat? [22:14] svensko: ah, I'm not actually using -11, so you're probably right [22:14] pha3z: most [22:14] Hello, anyone here have any experiance with HELLANZB on linux? or any ideas about good full package news readers NZB - PAr2 Unrar ect? [22:14] quibbler: is there some trick to be able to change the interface more? the font leading is so tight that its hard to read. [22:15] all i found was basic font settings... nothing tochange line-spacing or anything [22:15] good evening [22:15] pha3z: have a look in the preferences [22:16] is there anything I can do about my laptop not playing flash videos very fast. It shows with what I would describe as a low frame rate. However, that's only for flash videos like youtube, if I play the video in vlc for example it runs great. [22:16] quibbler: also when i change the background color, it doesn't have any effect. [22:16] fiftyone, lol , still using that [22:16] Hey guys. I accidentally reformatted a FAT32 partition in gparted as FAT32. I need to recover the data. Is there any way I can do this quickly without running something like GetDataBack? [22:16] wtf.. now it works.... wow [22:16] soundray: which line am i modifying to change back to the -7 kernel? [22:17] deany haha man i cant seem to get one to work [22:17] i'm not used to this grub menu lay out [22:17] denay hellanzb seems to be the only one which can do all thoses, unfortunately [22:17] well, gran ninan and i`ll guide you [22:17] i cant get it to work [22:17] :( [22:17] Is there a way, for example, to reverse the reformatting process... because I'm sure the data's still all there. [22:17] do what.. exactly [22:17] is there anyway to scroll up and down in the bash shell without using the mousewheel? pgup/pgdn do not work [22:18] I need help with the partitioning of the disk. I usually use "guided" and then the entire disk as an encrypted LVM. However, I would like to have a separate /home within the encrypted LVM. So manual partitioning it is... Can someone please explain how to setup an encrypted LVM using the alternate installer? [22:18] pha3z: i just changed mine to lime green....terrible [22:18] denay i did try PAN which seems to work nicely but it messes up the files at least it did with a family guy eppisode [22:18] pan is crap [22:19] pha3z: just experiment [22:19] I've started with 400MB for /boot and the rest as an lvm. How do I go from here? [22:20] hi, can i install ubuntu from an usb stick? i mean copy the iso image to the stick and boot with syslinux ? i tried and it boots, but it failed to find the iso === Suntzzu1` is now known as BigMike [22:20] quibberl, its working now... i guess i'm insane.. but i thought last time i tried, it had no effect. i got it. thanks [22:20] Guest9149: try using unetbootin [22:20] Greetings... on 8.10 my deskclock is not picking up lat/longs of the locations I select. Is this known bug? [22:20] doesn anyone know where i can change paper size from decimals to inches in open office? [22:20] ok [22:21] fiftyone: have you tried grabit with wine...works fine [22:21] HellaNZB hella cool someone here hadda have used it before :( [22:21] fiftyone, well if you need an nzb downloader than auto imports and downloads from nzb, and auto extracts, only gets pars when needed, then i`ll help ya [22:21] quibbler yea? never thought of that [22:22] deany thats EXACTLY what i need [22:22] fiftyone: been using it for years no problems [22:22] well.. grab ninan and take it to PM [22:22] i use it, works.. end of [22:22] my ubuntu keeps freezing after i boot it. it gets to the log in screen.. then after about 3 seconds it freezes [22:23] What does it mean when my caps lock and num lock lights keep blinking? [22:23] yoyit2: i have the same issue with different versions [22:23] is it normal to have a .directory file on you desktio [22:24] Basket1234: have you been able to fix it?? [22:24] desktop [22:25] yoyit2-> a new install? [22:25] kfyit: yea.. it worked for a few hours, but now it wont [22:25] kfyit: i have a similar issue and have tried a clean install with 8.04 8.10 and 7.10 [22:26] yoyit2 -> when you say frozen, not able to use the mouse nor the keyboard at all? cant get to ctrl+alt+f1 ? [22:26] kfyit: correct.. it doesnt do ANYTHING [22:27] howcome the livecd has the gnome partitioner in it, but the resulting install doesn't? [22:27] yoyit2 + Basket1234 have you guys tried if its okay with livecd? [22:27] M06w: Because once it's installed you can't use the partitioner on that drive [22:27] i have usually had to use the alt cd [22:27] kfyit: it works just fine with live [22:28] yoyit2 -> are you sure the installation completed? [22:28] but what if I want to? [22:28] You can't. The drive has to be unmounted to be partitioned. [22:28] M06w -> you can not use gparted? or cfdisk or fdisk? [22:28] anyone here who can help with my microphone in ubuntu? [22:28] And if you unmount the drive, then you can't use the installation [22:28] <__mikem> are there any ops in here? I need to make a complaint [22:28] M06w: you can't use it on a mounted drive [22:28] its working for online apps like skype but the sound recorded doesn't work [22:29] But if you want to use it on a mounted drive: sudo apt-get gparted [22:29] on an UNNNNmounted drive* [22:29] would any trouble arrise from using the livecd to alter the partition sizes an an installation? [22:29] kfyit: possitive.. ive done it 2ce [22:29] on an [22:29] how do I add an entry to my $PATH [22:29] Using a live CD wouldn't because the hard drive wouldn't be mounted [22:29] yoyit2 -> are you using wireless? [22:29] but I can unmount it manually [22:29] which I did [22:30] <__mikem> PATH=$PATH:yourentryhere && export PATH [22:30] yo ppls [22:30] or maybe you said that [22:30] <__mikem> adam_: ^ [22:30] __mikem: thanks mike [22:30] M06w -> what exactly are you trying to accomplish? [22:30] adam_: That will only work on your current session [22:30] i have an imbeded linux project i need some guidance on [22:30] where could i go for that [22:30] rashed2020: how do I make it permanent? [22:30] If you want it to be that way every time then you'll need to put it in your .bash_profile file [22:30] whats the essencial pack command for ubuntu ? [22:30] kfyit: yes.. and im having a hard time keeping a conection with it.. but my laptop has no problem [22:31] my mom has an old laptop with a dead harddrive, so we have ubuntu running off a flash drive, and I wanted to add a fat32 partition so she could transfer files easier [22:31] rashed2020: ahh gotcha [22:31] BlueLotus: google [22:31] yeah [22:31] duh [22:31] anyone get a phillips 713x chipset tv tuner card working? [22:31] M06w: Better do it with a liveCD [22:31] i was hoping to talk to someone who knows what they are talking about [22:31] I did [22:31] Oh ok [22:31] What's the problem then? [22:31] yoyit2 -> boot off of your livecd and then try to use the ethernet connectivity first, instead of the wirelesss to see it can fix it [22:31] <__mikem> /win/win 4 [22:31] <__mikem> crap [22:31] <__mikem> sorry [22:32] BlueLotus -> which processor target? [22:32] i want to put a tiny computer in a keyboard that has build in lcd and i want to use the tiny computer to telnet to my destop from school [22:32] i have the keyboard [22:32] and i know that tiny SBC's exist [22:32] I have a really really odd USB Audio problem - when I turn on my Xiosynth, it is detected but then for some reason Ubuntu plays the Gnome startup sound through its audio interface [22:32] its a big project [22:32] kfyit: how would it fix it??

[22:33] yoyit2 -> by not attempting a wireless connection, staying on ethernet perhaps.. try it [22:33] so we ran the partiton editor from the livecd and edited the partition, but it was taking a long time so she went home with it, and closed the laptop; according to the settings it would only blank the screeen when the laptop is closed, but now it's not unblanking; what can be done [22:33] hi [22:33] is Ubuntu supposed to play sounds through newly-detected sound hardware? And if so, how do I stop it? [22:34] M06w -> i think she should have learned to be more patient..lol [22:34] M06w, smack your laptop against the wall ? wild guess...

PATIENCE! heh [22:35] is there anyone that can help me with a soud problem (sorry for my english i'm frech and no one seems to be able to help me on the french channel) [22:35] M06w, but seriously a huge electromagnet next to your HD should fix it up.

French or English... give a try, but ... =) [22:35] yoyit2 -> its the connection am referring to, not an os recovery [22:36] got a problem with firewire, sudo lspci shows a firewire device but ive got no 1394 in /dev/ [22:36] kfyit: yeah i know.. but im saying my os was running just fine.. but now it isnt [22:37] need help with sound [22:37] scratchy noise/no sound [22:37] thomc: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec [22:37] yoyit2 -> you are not getting the idea, fix the attempt to use the wireless (ie disable it) and see if it stops from freezing [22:37] my problem is that my pci card seems to be undetected by alsa : $ cat /proc/asound/cards [22:37] --- no soundcards --- [22:38] but when i do lspci; the card is found [22:38] rashed2020, thanks [22:38] i dont have sound, only scratchy static noise [22:38] please help [22:38] zutperman, have you tried #alsa ? they're usually quite good at fixing this kind of stuff [22:38] NP [22:39] got a problem with firewire, sudo lspci shows a firewire device but ive got no 1394 in /dev/, anybody care to help?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [22:41] anyone have an idea of why my computer would freeze when Starting Hardware Abstraction Hald step [22:42] I thought all you had to do was plug them in now [22:42] Hi, anyone familiar with Acer nplify (wifi) [22:43] ? [22:43] a|3x: I'm guessing it's a driver issue [22:43] how do i recursively search from my working directory for *.raw? === marcum is now known as czer323 [22:43] i used prevu to backport a jaunty package to intreped. that package has since been update (so am i am told). how do i use prevu to get the latest version? [22:43] i had installed debian previously and it worked fine but i remember i had to recompile the kernel [22:44] can anyone point me in the direction to find out what happens when a new USB audio device is detected in Ubuntu? Just now it plays the Gnome startup sound through a new device when you plug it in [22:44] rashed2020: i know it worked fine on debian but i forgot what i did, it was few years ago [22:45] rashed2020: i installed ubuntu recently, now trying to figure out how to make it work again [22:45] I have just updated to jaunty and my rhythmbox stopped playing all my mp3 files. I reinstalled all the bad and ugly gstreamer plugins, but it didn't help. [22:45] gordonjcp: you should be able so select it in system-settings-audio [22:45] Ah, well sorry. I don't really know much about that. [22:45] rakudave: no, I can't [22:46] None of the experts seem to be around, either. [22:46] rakudave: at least, I don't see an option for that [22:46] hey, I have kind of an important question - is there a way to edit the auto shutdown when my computer gets to a certian temp [22:46] currently, it's at 81-85C [22:46] if I create a 64 bit Xen VM using ubuntu 8.10 amd64 as a host, can I then move that VM to a debian stable amd64 bit host? [22:46] and I think that's a little scary [22:46] DrDerek: It's fine [22:46] rakudave: nothing there in system->preferences->sound that could suggest why it does that [22:46] And I thinkkkk that's in the BIOS, not ubuntu [22:47] disable ACPI? [22:47] How do I check the space left on my drive with the terminal? [22:47] I (apt-get) install itsalltext, but when I try to edit a textarea in firefox I get "your editor has not been set". In prefs.js, I have extensions.itsalltext.editor set to /usr/bin/emacs22-nox. What gives? [22:47] Sa[i]nT: "df -h" [22:47] Sa[i]nT: df -h [22:48] in a jaunty package has been updated since the last time i used prevu on it, do i just run preview on it again? [22:48] gordonjcp: strange... mine shows up there, but i had to remove pulseaudio first in order to get it working correctly... [22:48] where do I alter my audio capture settings in ubuntu? [22:48] rakudave: are we talking about the same problem? [22:48] hey i need some help im using ubuntu ibex and every time i start fire fox it goes so full screen that i can see the task bar [22:49] in a permissions mode string of drwxrwxrwt, what does the 't' represent? [22:49] klenz: press f11 (maybe you need to do it twice) [22:49] gordonjcp: i think so ;-) [22:49] rakudave: the device works, but when it's detected Ubuntu plays the Gnome startup sound through it at absolutely mindbuggering volume [22:49] ill try that [22:49] rakudave: as you can imagine, this is not something I want to have happening [22:49] !jaunty | rakudave [22:50] rakudave: Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [22:50] Does anybody know of an ubuntu based live cd which consists only of the base system with cli - what you'd get with a cli install with the alternative-install CD or a net-install? I'd like to build an ubuntu system from scratch on my USB drive, using Ubuntu's USB startup disk utility. Currently running off a Live CD, so can't use UCK. [22:50] erUSUL: ? [22:50] that did it thanx [22:50] adam_: save text attribute [22:50] i deleted some torrents in transmission. it deleted the files and the torrent files, but it didn't free the HDD space. What could be the cause for that? [22:50] rakudave: sorry... my mistake [22:50] rakudave: all the other system sounds are disabled, perhaps I should just delete them [22:50] adam: http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/usersguide/linux_ugfilesp.html [22:50] !jaunty > hvgotcodes [22:50] hvgotcodes, please see my private message [22:51] hey guys, i'm having a bit of a problem with my mouse settings (i think) [22:51] I'm trying to get Sambe to share for an XPPro box, I've installed swat. It doesn't allow you to change anything... Where's the real gui samba setup? [22:51] when i click and drag my mouse, there is a small delay [22:51] gordonjcp: well, I have them disabled on my system, so i never experienced that usb-audio problem... just turn them off ^^ [22:51] rakudave: turn *what* off? [22:52] Rabbitbunny: I think you can just right click on a folder in gnome, select its properties and share it that way [22:52] for instance, if i position my mouse near an icon on my desktop, click and drag (quickly) in a motion that would normally select said icon... the selection is slow enough to miss the icon entirely [22:52] rakudave: the system sounds are already all disabled, even the annoying conga slap thing [22:52] this also happens when selecting text with the mouse (so you can see how that would be annoying) [22:53] i've tried toggling the mouse preference settings [22:53] gordonjcp: there is an extra entry in "session" to play the login-sound for some reason, try disabling thatone as well [22:53] Unislash: do you get the same behaviour when you disable compiz? [22:53] rakudave: it's not the conga slap sound that plays, and that's disabled anyway [22:53] fprimex: Oh. I tried that before, on my drive. The option only comes up for folders. [22:53] socksy: lemme check... what's a quick way to do so? [22:53] rakudave: it's the gnome login sound that plays, and that's disabled [22:53] fprimex: Thanks. [22:54] rakudave: *all* system sounds are disabled, it's the first thing I do [22:54] Hi, just sound suddenly stopped working after a reboot, (updated system), it finds the soundcard, volume is max, no mute, no programs blocking the sound (as i can see), any ideas of what can cause this problem? :/ [22:54] socksy: metacity --replace ? [22:54] Unislash: System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects? [22:55] gordonjcp: yeah, but also in system - settings - session? these are all commands that get executed after you log in, and the welcome-sound has an extra entry there as well [22:55] socksy: i currently have none of the radials selected [22:55] I run Vino-server with disable-background checked - but now the wallpaper is not shown at all -- when gnome starts I see it, but after a short while I see the default solid color and the wallpaper is gone -- how to get it back (properly something to do with naulilus?!) [22:55] rakudave: this isn't after I log in [22:55] rakudave: this is at any point when I turn on a synthesizer which includes a USB sound device [22:56] socksy: metacity --replace worked... lets test [22:56] I need some scripting help, is there another better channel for that? [22:56] socksy: problem still occurs [22:56] lasivian: what kind of scripting? [22:56] Unislash: I was just wondering if it were a graphics issue. Looks like it isn't [22:56] rakudave: right, I've solved it - "sudo rm -rf /usr/share/sounds/" [22:57] gordonjcp: i get you point alright, i'm just trying to think of all places that could have that entry... the "stupid" way might also be just to delete the corresponding sound-file ;-) [22:57] lasivian: specify language [22:57] socksy: nope... my single-click works just fine, thus it probably isn't graphical === Chris` is now known as Dave4 === Dave4 is now known as Dave5 [22:57] rakudave: well, I never ever under any circumstances want my computer to make any kind of sound of any sort, unless I tell it to [22:58] rakudave: I use it for audio work, so a single system beep at the wrong moment could wreck a day's work [22:58] rakudave: or, for that matter, deafen everyone in a 100m radius [22:58] anyone know why xorg would be using %80+ of my cpu all the time? [22:59] gordonjcp: all system-sounds ale located in "/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/" so you could just delete them entirely [23:00] gordonjcp: as for the beeps, you need to blacklist the beep-module: "echo "blacklist pcspkr" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" [23:01] i got a problem with firewire, sudo lspci shows a firewire device but ive got no 1394 in /dev/, anybody care to help? [23:01] anyone got the itsalltext firefox extension to work? It's really cool, you can edit textareas with your favorite editor (yay for emacs/vim) :-) [23:01] gordonjcp: to apply these changes immediately, run "sudo modprobe -r pcspkr" as well === spaz_ is now known as Guest63737 [23:02] rakudave: or disconnect the speaker [23:03] rakudave: or, more accurately, don't bother connecting the speaker in the first place [23:04] gordonjcp: well ok...

[23:07] i didnt need to back scroll [23:07] gordonjcp: about 20 lines up, but don't worry. [23:07] oobe: do you feel that the line 'anybody?' was useful or expedited his request in any way? [23:07] shell scripting, I need a way to run a command, increment a number in that command and re-run the command until a certain # is reached [23:08] when i try to recompile the kernel it shows that my config already has raw1394 enabled [23:08] a|3x, i dont think you need to have 1394 in /dev [23:08] I am currently working with an applcation that can not access a vfat mount, that is added by HAL. Is there way to set it up so all users can use this vfat mount, instead of it being owned by my specific logon? [23:08] i dont use firewire so i cant tell you [23:08] oobe: but i got no raw1394 module [23:08] lasivian: #bash would probably be a better place to ask, But you're looking for a 'for' loop. [23:08] is it better to try and find a way to get a base debian/ubuntu CLI installation on a USB stick, or to start with a full one and strip it away? [23:08] oobe: i got no raw1394 module even with raw1394 enabled in .config [23:09] what device are you trying to use [23:09] have you plugged somthing in [23:09] oobe: video cam === Dave5 is now known as Chris` [23:09] oobe: everything is plugged in but it shouldn't matter [23:09] ok then well best of luck with that [23:09] oobe: i cant even modprobe raw1394 [23:10] oobe: i got no module called 1394 [23:10] lasivian: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [23:10] oobe: i got no module called raw1394 [23:10] you mean in lsmod [23:10] oobe: yes [23:11] Hi, when im trying to compile i get errors saying that c++ compiler cant create executables -- it gave me this log file -- http://pastebin.com/f70235248 [23:11] a|3x, i dont know much about it but "locate *.ko | grep 1394" showed me some modules on my system that may help [23:11] i got ieee1394 and ohci1394 but when i modprobe them i don't see any 1394 devices in /dev [23:12] Bodsda: is your filesystem full? check with df -h [23:12] like dv1394.ko [23:12] fprimex, no its not [23:12] Or is it easier just to mount it via fstab? [23:13] oobe: hey, looks like i got raw1394.ko [23:13] Bodsda: search for the word "failed" in that [23:13] a|3x, can you modprobe it [23:13] Bodsda: start looking around that line [23:13] oobe: just did, looks like i got it to work, testing captured video now... [23:14] nice [23:14] why lsmod not show it? [23:14] hi there, I'm using ubuntu hardy, I need cairo compiled with xcb backend, how do I do that ?

[23:14] Bodsda: mmmm-hm, and what might that tell you? [23:14] a|3x, try lsmod | grep 1394 [23:14] gordonjcp, no idea [23:15] who here has used tux commander? [23:15] when using an internal and external wifi card, does ubuntu choose the external as default ? [23:15] Bodsda: need to install opengl libs [23:15] Bodsda: you're missing a dependency - "-l" means "include library" [23:15] i got ieee1394 and ohci1394 [23:15] oobe: i got ieee1394 and ohci1394 [23:15] Bodsda: try "apt-get build-dep " [23:15] gordonjcp, ok cool -- fprimex is whats the name of the package?

[23:16] this is driving me nuts [23:16] gordonjcp, nope [23:16] oobe: no, when i did that nothing appeared in /dev/ [23:16] Bodsda: try xlibmesa-gl-dev [23:17] Bodsda: oh, you're on your own then. But quite often if you're just making a newer or custom version of an existing package, "apt-get build-dep" will pull in most of what you need [23:17] Rabbitbunny: thanks [23:17] yeah thanks for the advice gordonjcp [23:18] has anyone heard of Damn Small Linux (DSL) ?? [23:18] fprimex, just tried and it still produces the same error [23:18] a|3x, but you can now use your dv cam?

(and root stuff) i have NO clue what to do with that [23:20] a|3x, well i wouldnt worry about /dev/ it knows what its doing udev creates what it needs there not stuff just to confirm you have hardware [23:20] yoyit2, ok 1 sec [23:20] yoyit2: Then you're not ready for DSL.

Any experiences on bugs when upgrading to intrepid from hardy? [23:23] whats xorg, python, b43? [23:23] xorg is what manages your GUI [23:24] python is a programming languages that sorta runs int he background [23:24] Bodsda: looks like no package directly installs that file. Try running 'ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so' [23:24] for things like plugins and add ons [23:24] roger [23:24] xorg = x windows python = python language, b43 is probably your wireless [23:24] wassy121_, one step ahead of ya :) cheers [23:24] Bodsda: then re-run the compile, see if it gets further.

[23:31] give me a link to do that [23:31] jj_, can you not see your connection in there? [23:31] jonaskoelker One user suggested this.. but I have not tried it.. Getting firefox up to speed.. in xorg.conf, in your "Module" section, adding glx/v4l/dbe/extmod/fbdevhw/record/freetype/type1/dri took care of it. i.e: section "Module" Load "glx" Load "v4l" ..... EndSection [23:31] Spidler: how would i go about doing this? [23:32] on Gentoo I had a small shellscript that would generate a list of files in /usr, compare to the list of files installed according to the package manager, and give me a diff for "files existing but not managed" . How can I do something like that on Ubuntu/Debian? [23:32] yoyit2: iptables/netfilter, set up a Masquerade filter, or use any of the built in firewalls. Your "sharing" machine needs 2 ethernet cards however. [23:32] Spidler write a small shell script [23:32] hey anyone able to help me out? trying to update Java to the lastest. sadly running Ubuntu 8.04.2 64 bit and the java 1.6.0.7 I want the java 1.6.0.12 [23:33] Jack_Sparrow: Sure, Just peering for help on how to get the info out of dpkg [23:33] !clone [23:33] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [23:33] Spidler: what if its a laptop using wifi.. and sharing out a ethernet? [23:33] <_VIM_> !backports | afallenhope [23:33] afallenhope: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [23:33] Jack_Sparrow: Wrong, that only responds a list of packages, not a list of files claimed by packages :/ [23:33] Spidler To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - is better [23:33] yoyit2: That works. [23:34] Jack_Sparrow: yes, That doesn't do what I want here. [23:34] spYou need to do the work, you had a custom shell script before, you need to find one or write one.. [23:34] Jack_Sparrow: the problem is, how do you get a list of files claimed out of dpkg [23:34] Spidler, you're looking for cruft [23:35] can some body let me know the +/-- on KUBUNTU and UBUNTU [23:35] nickrud_: I am? Thanks [23:35] Spidler: and were would i get one of those firewall programs.. cuz i cant seem to find them in add/remove [23:35] Spidler, erm, the package as well :) [23:35] I try to build xrandr from source, it compiles ok, but when changing mode, it complains cannot find mode 0x10d [23:35] binary version works ok [23:35] !friewall [23:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about friewall [23:35] !firewall [23:35] 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). [23:36] little: when disabling addons, would I have to restart firefox for each change? [23:37] jonaskoelker: I disabled them all, restarted Firefox and then added them back one by one. When you add them, it automatically has you restart each time and protects the tabs or pages you have open. [23:37] jonaskoelker: no, disable them all at once, then restart [23:37] is it possible to run an application in UBUBTU with root p/w? [23:37] break4,, yes i can understood how i can do the connection in there? [23:37] shahla sudo or gksudo [23:37] !sudo > shahla [23:37] shahla, please see my private message [23:37] !gksudo > shahla [23:38] thanks [23:38] np [23:38] jonaskoelker: I have the FoxLingo addon and it's a MONSTER, so I leave it disabled and only enable it when I need it.

Photoshop + Wine = w00t although ..GIMP pretty sweet too [23:42] <_VIM_> afallenhope: i think also adding the !Medibuntu repos might also get you a more updated Java [23:42] !medibuntu [23:42] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [23:43] Ketrel, in menu.lst , find #defopts=quiet splash , remove splash to drop the sliding bar with ubuntu text, remove quiet to see all the kernel boot messages. When done, run sudo update-grub to propogate those changes to all your kernel boot lines [23:43] Ketrel, don't remove the leading # [23:44] durt: thats the tuner chip, probably your problem will be with the decoder chip [23:44] hi, I'm getting this error all the time.

I read that you open up the terminal and you type in "sudo cfdisk/ dev/ hda" and then you put your pass word in , and then you can get to a screen that will lead you through uninstalling Ubuntu. I am currently unsuccesful though. I get a message that says FATAL ERROR: Can not open Disk Drive. What do I do? [23:59] Phantomime: How did you install Ubuntu? Is it the only OS on the computer?
