[00:00] y.net [00:00] help installing isight [00:00] newp. and I'm not sure if I'm looking atll. the right spot 'cause now I don't see anything at a [00:00] fluffybacon: It said configure was an unknown option. [00:00] hahaha. System, Prefs, SpashScreen [00:01] nothing installed. [00:01] anima_: it looks like this? http://imagebin.org/37578 [00:01] nkei0: try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [00:01] anima_: no, system, administration, startup manager === bimberi_ is now known as bimberi [00:01] thanks... the lights on , but i cant seem to find how to connect to a network, just says lo, eth1, and thats it??? [00:01] wannab: Thanks. [00:02] !radeon|nkei0 [00:02] nkei0: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:02] lol yoyoned [00:02] wish I knew that sooner [00:02] Is there anyone out there who can help me get my wireless card working with 8.04? [00:02] <_VIM_> is there anyway to have irssi not show 'nick is now known as newnick' I really dont care to see nick|away nick|eating nick|laptop who cares about your status anyways?? it's just flooding my screen [00:02] !nvidia [00:02] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:02] anima_: install usplash-theme-ubuntu [00:02] ok...it has the new one I wanted listed, but not the old one. [00:02] mikeshollen: What's wrong with it? [00:03] err afk [00:03] _VIM_: isn't there an ignore option? [00:03] <_VIM_> Slart: i hope so, else i might have to go back to xchat it has that feature :) [00:03] anima_: ok.. try this.. "sudo apt-get install --reinstall usplash-theme-ubuntu" [00:03] nkei0: When I tried to install 8.10 it just worked right away, but I was having some other major issues and so I tried 8.04 which solved all the other problems but now the wireless card doesn't show up. I can see the wired connection, but not wireless. [00:04] nkei0: Sorry - dpkg-reconfigure xorg-driver-fglrx [00:04] mikeshollen: maybe the kernel does not support your wireless card? === christiekoehler| is now known as christiekoehler [00:05] I still havn't found a way to remove boot loaders from MBR's without destorying the partition tables [00:05] As in this distro of Ubuntu will not ever work with my wifi card? [00:05] Slart: thank you, that looks like what I goofed up - lemme reboot and see if that did what I wanted. [00:05] bbiab [00:06] failing that try apt-get --purge remove && apt-get install #sorry I have no idea what the ATI driver package is called [00:06] I have a Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 20) according to the hardware tester [00:10] Slart: Nope, still there. If I want to reinstall the whole thing, just reboot with the disk in the cdrom, yes? Or does that hose things? [00:10] mikeshollen, the 8.04 uses an older kernel which probably does have the driver for you wifi card you can compile a newer kernel or search google for the specific driver source code project and compile that [00:10] nope... you'll have to press the install button for it to hose your system [00:10] ami: but try this first.. open the startup manager in system, administration [00:10] bah.. I can't type today [00:11] anima_: look above.. that was for you [00:11] ok [00:11] it's open [00:11] is anyone here intimate with libpcap? i have to use a --with-pcap= when i configure, and i am wondering where to get a list of all the possible values of that variable [00:11] mikeshollen, out of curiosity could you pm me the other problems you had with 8.10 im still using 8.04 and am planning to upgrade one day [00:11] anima_: in appearance.. do you seen the usplash-theme-ubuntu? [00:12] yes! select and close? [00:12] then reboot again? [00:12] anima_: yes, but make sure "show boot splash" checkbox is checked in "Boot options" first [00:12] oobe: The major problem I ran into was that my graphics driver wouldn't work properly. I tried all the suggested drivers and each time it killed the gui [00:12] ok [00:13] hi, got a strange problem, my pc's cpu is at or around 100% all the time, and it displays 70-80% at system. Why? [00:13] mikeshollen, ok thanks [00:13] The-Compiler: use top or the system monitor to see what is using all the cpu time [00:13] Slart: brb [00:14] Slart, i did, but it's nothing... [00:14] slart, and I only run Transmission, ran fine and now it started to rum at 100% cpu [00:15] The-Compiler: huh? you don't see anything using the cpu? [00:15] slart, yeah, only around 3% [00:16] The-Compiler: you are sorting it by cpu-% ? [00:16] so hey everyone , my computer is officially broken, i shrunk another parition in my computer yesterday then windows decides to not work anymore and anytime i startup now it gets a bluescreen error and shuts down, all i can run is this live version of ubuntu, i tried reformatting but it wont even let me do that, i get a error every time i try that also [00:16] slart, sure [00:16] anyone has ever used mod_bw for apache2 [00:16] ? [00:16] Slart: You're a miracle worker...I just wish I was smarter with linux. OK, but it's still showing me the big blue Gnome footprint. [00:17] Anyone else getting redirected to http://tutorialvid.com/ when going to gnome-look.org? [00:17] geffislegend: What error? [00:17] anima_: it's not a background picture you're seeing? it is the actual splash screen? [00:17] Delvien: no [00:18] brb [00:18] anima_: just to separate the sucking up from the actual reporting here.. did anything change in the boot appearance? it's the same as before? better still not good? all fine? [00:18] Im getting redirected after 3-4 seconds [00:19] hey guys, question: I have my server on my network list, but i don't know how to transfer files.. i drag and drop it and it won't copy....any advice? [00:19] im not sure what error i get when i try to start windows it flashes then stops and restarts and trys the process again [00:19] Delvien: works for me here.. no redirection [00:19] Its only gnome-look.org that is doing it to me [00:19] Slart, Just so you know, I'm southern. Trust me when I start sucking up it's way hard to miss. This time was more like ubuntu is normally. [00:19] They are ridden with adds now a days.. [00:19] Its sad [00:19] It's loading gnome. [00:19] ads* [00:20] And i'm getting their logo. === christiekoehler is now known as christiekoehler| [00:20] anima_: ok.. according to swedish tradition we're almost married now.. ;).. so there is still this blue foot thingy to get rid of? [00:20] geffislegend: I meant when you try to do something with the live cd === roger_ is now known as grape [00:20] Yes sir. That's the only thing left. [00:21] anima_: back to the startup manager.. there are options there for setting a background image.. are those enabled? === roger_ is now known as grape [00:21] hey guys how do i get httpd-devel for apxs, i need to install a mod [00:21] anima_: on the second tab, Boot loader themes [00:21] oh nvm guys its actually going to let me full install ubuntu this time, but its asking if i want to install a boot loader, should i do it? what is it? [00:22] When installing off the alternative CD (with various boot related areas, partitions, and so on in various atypical places), is it made clear when overwriting MBRs and boot-sectors is imminent? I want to avoid overwriting either on the internal hard drive of the laptop I'm using. In fact, I don't want that hard-drive touched at all. I'd set it to 'read only' for the duration of my tinkering... [00:22] ...if I could. [00:22] You will need a bootloader because that's what tells your computer how to start Ubuntu [00:22] geffislegend: it's the thing that starts booting ubuntu when the computer starts.. it's called grub and yes you want it [00:22] The middle section for bootloader themes is empty. [00:22] geffislegend: yes, you should [00:22] !grub | geffislegend [00:22] geffislegend: 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 [00:22] hey guys how do i get httpd-devel for apxs, i need to install a mod [00:22] anima_: and if you press "manage boot loader themes"? still empty? [00:22] Several events/applications make a sound through my PC's internal speaker, is there any way to get these events/applications to use the sounds defined in the ubuntu settings? [00:23] Slart: yes [00:23] oh okay thanks a lot ^^ [00:23] wemdowemd the alternate is a text based installer. NOT a livecd [00:23] wemdowemd: install the bootloader to the same partition as / if you don't want to overwrite the mbr. === christiekoehler| is now known as christiekoehler [00:23] is Intrepid the latest stable release? [00:23] i shall be back when it is done installing, thanks for the help!! [00:23] can anyone help =(? [00:23] anima_: this blue foot .. it shows before the splash with the ubuntu logo? [00:23] Baatti: yes [00:24] Slart: thank you [00:24] Jack_Sparrow: So I can't use it to make a LiveUSB? Or at least, I'd have to install it somewhere first and then use the installation to make one? [00:24] I am trying to install bitchx-gtk / bitchx using hardy but there is no package for hardy, only feisty. Is there a way to convert it ? [00:25] wemdowemd I dont think the alternate has that feature. I thought that was only on livecd [00:25] wemdowemd: you can use unetbootin to make a live usb [00:25] !usb [00:25] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [00:25] !bitchx | anom01y [00:25] anom01y: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [00:25] wemdowemd: but not from the alternate cd [00:25] anom01y: bitchx was removed for the repositories because it was maintained and it had numerous open issues. Consider using irssi or weechat instead [00:25] irssi > bitchx [00:25] Slart: OK, it's not the one that comes up with the orange bar showing load/unload. You just fixed that one. It's after it brings up my mouse/desktop, and immediately before it loads my wallpaper image. Does that help? [00:25] anom01y: s/maintained/unmaintained [00:25] anom01y: bah.. that wasn't the factoid I wanted.. well.. apparently bitchx has been removed.. something about bugs not getting fixed [00:25] ceil420 That is why we discourage people taking polls or asking best [00:26] irsii is as good as bitchx ? [00:26] anima_: ah.. actually it does.. is it the background where you enter your username to login? [00:26] !polls [00:26] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [00:26] Jack_Sparrow, but it's factual, in this case [00:26] anom01y: irssi and weechat are both pretty good. Try them out for yourself [00:26] anom01y: I haven't used bitchx but irssi works nicely for me [00:26] No, it's after that - that one is normal peachy pink solid color [00:26] Jack_Sparrow, notice i didn't compare irssi to xchat, or any other actively maintained IRC client [00:26] How do you quit telnet irc? [00:27] jken146: OK then. I've read the LiveUSB stuff on the help pages. Crucially though, MBR overwriting will only occur on the partition where Ubuntu is installed? As in, if I run it and tell it to install ubuntu on a partition on an external hard drive, it WILL NOT touch anything on the laptop itself? [00:27] daedra, quit :quit message [00:27] daedra: /quit if I remember right. [00:27] anom01y: ok.. let me search a bit for that... [00:27] (message optional) [00:27] anom01y: sorry.. wrong nick [00:27] anima_, don't need slashes in telnet [00:27] *shrug* My bad. Sorry. [00:27] anima_: ok, let me check something [00:27] why anyone would use telnet for IRC i'll never know [00:27] wemdowemd But you wiull have grub errors or other booting issues [00:27] privmsg #ubuntu :this stuff is a PITA [00:27] I wanted to check out the bitchx-gtk but I guess thats a no go now.. [00:28] privmsg #ubuntu :i wouldn't wanna do it more than once or twice a decade <_< [00:28] ceil420 Please stop [00:28] anom01y, you can probably still install it from other sources [00:28] Jack: tnx [00:28] anima_ np [00:28] Jack_Sparrow, you please stop [00:28] wemdowemd: yes, you can tell the installer to install grub to any partition you choose. If you choose a partition on an external hard drive, your internal drives won;t be touched. But you'll have to use your BIOS setup to boot from your external drive. [00:29] * anima_ opens door for ceil420 [00:29] Jack_Sparrow, i'm just warning people that are considering using telnet for IRC what they're in for [00:29] Several events/applications make a sound through my PC's internal speaker, is there any way to get these events/applications to use the sounds defined in the ubuntu sound settings? [00:29] Jack_Sparrow, which is on topic, as at least one user mentioned using it while another is actively seeking an IRC client === osxdude|laptop is now known as osxdude|l [00:29] * anima_ continues to hold door open just in case. [00:30] Hello [00:30] why does my NFS not automount on boot? i always have to sudo mount -a for it to mount [00:31] Is it a removable disk? [00:31] kindofabuzz: Have you added it to /etc/fstab? === techsupport is now known as orudie === lampoon is now known as Twili [00:31] jken146, yes, otherwise mount -a wouldn't even mount it [00:31] jken146: That's fine. But presumably there will be some MBR-style overwriting at the beginning of the external drive as well as GRUB itself on the selected partition? As in, if there are 2 part's on the external and I tell it to install Ubuntu on P #2, it will do so + grub, but overwrite the *first few* kb also to make the external bootable? [00:32] anima_: if you start gconf-editor in a terminal and check in "apps, nautilus, preferences" what is the value of the key "background_filename" ? [00:32] kindofabuzz: yes, of course. [00:32] having trouble adding themes to ubuntu any help appreciated [00:32] jken146, i can't figure out why it's not. maybe the nfs service is not started before fstab is read? [00:32] Slart: could you bust that down a little further...is the terminal command "start gconf-editor"? [00:32] can I start gui application as another user without asking for a password? I did it with sudo but I can't find how it works with gksudo [00:33] anima_: just "gconf-editor", it will open a small editor with a tree like structure on the left side [00:33] wemdowemd: it won't overwrite the mbr unless you choose the first partition of that disk, akaik [00:33] anima_: browse to apps, nautilus, preferences there.. then check the right side for background_image [00:33] kindofabuzz: you could put mount -a in an init script and see if that does it === niki77 is now known as nikola77 [00:33] anima_: sorry.. background_filename [00:34] jken146: So I'd be needing some other way to start the boot process, that would point to GRUB in the relevant partition? Like a removable media bootdisc or something? [00:34] No entry there. [00:34] Slart: no entry there. [00:34] jken146, yeah, but i'd like to know why it ins't working when everything else is mounted during boot [00:34] wemdowemd: yes, like another bootloader. Can't you just put it on the mbr? [00:34] anima_: hmm.. back to searching then.. I'll be back when I find something new to try [00:34] wemdowemd You could do it with a bootable cd but then you could not use that cd drive during the session [00:34] Hey I got it fixed oobe [00:35] anybody uses intel wifi cards, iwl3945? connection doesnt come back after kill switch, i have to rmmod iwl3945 modprobe iwl3945 every time [00:35] anima_: you might as well try looking at Desktop, gnome, background in the same program [00:35] Several events/applications make a sound through my PC's internal speaker, is there any way to get these events/applications to use the sounds defined in the ubuntu sound settings? [00:35] hello,does someone know well ubuntu boot process? because i've a tricky problem: my raid array is too slow(4-50MB/s instead of 110MB/s) with gentoo but not ubuntu...I've tried gentoo's kernel on ubuntu rootfs...it's fast...and ubuntu's kernel on gentoo's rootfs...it's slow...so it's not the kernel...ubuntu does somehting during the boot process that makes my raid array fast...and I'd like to know what... [00:35] anima_: that one will probably hold the current wallpaper [00:36] jken146: Given that there's already 1 partition at the beginning of the external drive, and said drive is currently non-bootable, would writing a MBR to it screw up the existing partition table somehow? Jack [00:36] Jack_Sparrow: I can live with that [00:36] Slart, pm me your paypal addy....I can see I've almost won the "stump the tech person". OK what am I looking for in the desktop one? [00:36] anima_: =).. desktop, gnome, background [00:36] Anyone know of any good tool(s) to burn data to DVD's in order to archive it? I need to be able to encrypt and password protect it, even though the DVD's will be stored in a fireproof safe. [00:36] wemdowemd I can give you the basic instructions but you may need to work out details based on your hardware [00:37] slart: ya looking at it.... [00:37] anima_: there's a key called "picture_filename" [00:37] hey do anyone know how to make the acpi work for my Acer Aspire 5050 AMD Turion 64 laptop... I have hardy heron [00:37] Jack_Sparrow: That's OK. I'll probably just go with a SuperGrub disc or something. I'm fielding a few ideas at the moment so the details can wait. [00:37] I tried installing acpi modules... but nothing seems to work [00:37] Slart: pasting in pm [00:37] anima_: ok [00:38] Jack_Sparrow: I haven't even got to the full-partition encryption yet... [00:38] can I use "gksudo -u " for specific programs without password? [00:38] wemdowemd Bad idea [00:38] I'm using audacious and I right click to show visible on all worspaces, but when it closes it doesn't save it so I gotta re do this everytime I restart audacious, can it remember it automatically? [00:38] Jack_Sparrow: How so? [00:39] Not even with LUKS? [00:39] anima_: ok.. and that's not the blue foot? [00:39] wemdowemd Just encrypt your data [00:39] There anyway to remember that setting? [00:39] anybody uses intel wifi cards, iwl3945? connection doesnt come back after kill switch, i have to rmmod iwl3945 modprobe iwl3945 every time [00:40] dxdemetriou, visudo will let you set users to not require sudo [00:40] dxdemetriou, you should be able to specify it in /etc/sudoers [00:40] dxdemetriou, for example ALL ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/halt [00:40] hello [00:41] Jack_Sparrow: I understand ubuntu leaves several usage tracks throughout the filesystem rather than just in /home. Installed programs are also stored outside /home. There is a rationale for doing the filesystem as well [00:41] Several events/applications make a sound through my PC's internal speaker, is there any way to get these events/applications to use the sounds defined in the ubuntu sound settings? [00:41] <_cb> clonezilla stops at "collecting the disk info in this machine" how do I get around this? [00:41] Can I remember that setting anyone? [00:41] !pcspkr [00:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about pcspkr [00:41] Sylphid, usser, I tried everything I know but it works only with sudo and not grapgical sudoes [00:41] wemdowemd I know what I need to protect, how to protect it and where it is.. Just no need to do more [00:41] N-A: blacklist the pcspkr module [00:42] Jack_Sparrow: I can't be so sure === Teiseii is now known as Teisei [00:42] wemdowemd NOt a problem, just no crying in here when it goes boom.. [00:42] ezerhoden: How? And will that make it use the right sounds, or just make it stop using the internal speaker? [00:43] N-A: in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [00:43] Jack_Sparrow: This is an experiment. So long as it doesn't do it all over my laptop's Vista install there's no milk spilt [00:43] spilled [00:43] has anyone one in here installed mod_bw?? [00:43] I need to figure out how to remember a programs setting to show visible on all workspaces. [00:43] wemdowemd Look at my notes at how I did it for my installed system and you should be able to get it to do your external [00:44] wemdowemd, hm just worked here gksudo halt :) [00:44] ezerhoden: OK, but will it start playing the right sounds by doing that? I still prefer the internal beep rather than no sound at all [00:44] dxdemetriou, sudo visudo add % ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL logout and back in [00:44] usser: Pardon? Jack_Sparrow: Sounds useful, where can I find them? [00:44] Is anyone familiar with enabling SLI on Ubuntu Hardy? [00:45] wemdowemd look in your PM from me [00:45] Ah, sorry [00:45] N-A: well, i am not quite sure [00:46] ezerhoden: Is there any way to just unload that module temporarily to test? [00:47] Feel like I'm being ignored [00:47] N-A: rmmod pcspkr [00:47] I've got a USB HDD currently mounted on my system that is no longer connected, and am unable to unmount.

And when pulseaudio is grabbing the sound card for flash or whatever, not even alsa apps are able to also output sound. ??? [00:54] Just so everyone knows, Slart is a genius. [00:54] LOLOL [00:54] dxdemetriou, hmm ... not sure that its gonna be an easy task to get rid of graphical sudo [00:54] fearful: where is this setting? [00:54] fearful: somewhere in audacious? [00:54] When you right click the icon on the window list [00:54] fearful: have a look at devilspie [00:54] cratel: the default libasound2-plugins + pulseaudio configuration in 8.10 on 32-bit works as such, yes [00:55] cratel: on 64-bit, it is messier due to ia32-libs [00:55] fearful: ahhh.. yes, devilspie might be the right thing [00:55] I have no idea what that is... [00:55] fearful: there is probably some kind of switch you can use in the command that starts audacious too.. I'll look around [00:55] !info devilspie [00:55] devilspie (source: devilspie): find windows and perform actions on them. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.22-1 (intrepid), package size 28 kB, installed size 128 kB [00:55] dtchen: I'm on 32 bit but my alsa apps don't seem to be using pulseaudio. I deduce that from looking at the pa vu meter. [00:56] fearful: there is also a gui, gdevilspie [00:56] just sudo apt-get install gdevilspie [00:56] cratel: well, there are a number of things to check. firstly, make sure you're using updated 8.10, including intrepid-proposed. secondly, make sure you're not using /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc. [00:57] fearful: are you using compiz? if so there might be a setting in there too [00:57] I have strange problem with wine, with wine all text either does not render or is unreadable [00:57] Yes I am [00:57] dtchen: already using proposed. for asound stuff, just delete the files? [00:58] How can I get Ubuntu warning beeps to play the defined sounds (from sound settings) instead of just beeping the internal speaker? [00:58] cratel: move them out of the way for now (don't rm yet) [00:58] dtchen: actually they already didn't exist. [00:58] cratel: ok, good [00:58] dtchen: good except...what's wrong then? [00:58] I don't think my compiz is loading automatically tho, I just typed compiz on a terminal and everything changedc [00:58] How do I force Ubuntu to re-download the package files when I re-install them? [00:59] fearful: you can use the "windows rules" plugin in compiz to do it [00:59] cratel: pastebin the output from `sudo fuser -v /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/* /dev/seq*' [00:59] fearful: system, preferences, appearance.. last tab.. set it to the middle one [00:59] !pastebin [00:59] 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) [00:59] aiuw: you can use apt-get clean to delete downloaded packages === Vonor is now known as Vonoff [00:59] this I'm trying to do is running a shell script with as another user without password. with sudo it works, but with "sudo -u " it can't find display. gksudo, gnomesu and sux asks for password [00:59] Normal [01:00] fearful: then install the compizconfig-settings manager..

[01:00] can anyone say, why in wine (including winecfg) I have text almost unreadable [01:00] aiuw: run apt-get clean first to remove all the old package files [01:00] furythor: have you installed the msttcore fonts? [01:00] back [01:00] Yup, got it. Thanks. [01:01] Ok downloading now [01:01] currently Ubuntu has /dev/sdb1 mounting at /media/GAMES ... sdb1 is not listed in my fstab file, so how would set it to mount somewhere other than "GAMES"? [01:01] fearful: when that is done you'll get a new menu-item in system, preferences called Compizconfig settings manager [01:01] N-A: have you tried looking in the sounds dialog [01:01] Slart I did not have this problem with 8.04, so I am bit confused that where problem could be [01:02] danbhfive: In system settings? [01:02] ya [01:02] why does toem movie player freeze up whenever i try to play a dvd? [01:02] danbhfive: Yeah [01:02] totem [01:02] snowveil: change the entry in fstab [01:02] furythor: I don't know if it's the fonts.. but that's one thing that can cause problems.. still might be something else [01:02] danbhfive: That's precisely what I want, the settings from there to work...

I really would like to know [01:03] anyhow is there other way to see wine version that that "about" tab in winecfg ? [01:03] jken, fstab doesn't have sdb1 listed [01:03] furythor: wine --version might work [01:03] furythor: wine --version [01:03] furythor: 'wine --version' === harry is now known as Guest36872 [01:03] hey anyone, I am trying to open a document that had mathtype inside of it [01:03] cratel: looks like pulseaudio failed in module-suspend-on-idle [01:03] and they symbols do not show up correctly [01:03] how do i change the selection coloring on my themes appearance?

Daily I run resource hungry apps when I am not home and then when I come back I kill those apps but all my editors and such get really laggy when I switch to them (I guess they were moved to swap and then moving back to RAM).

[01:07] fearful: don't forget to enable the plugin when you're done configuring it [01:07] yup [01:07] Thanks a lot! [01:07] Hello everyone! [01:07] When did 'boot from usb drive' become popular? I got a free computer tonight, and want to install ubuntu [01:07] fearful: you're welcome [01:07] You are a genious lol [01:07] cratel: and you're using native Flash 10, correct? [01:07] its got windows 98 lol [01:07] anyone here use ROX-filemanager? I need to know the command line switch for the Set Run Action As... setting. For example, the default (the active file) is "$@" [01:07] I have a quick question about *nix in the server enviroment [01:08] k [01:08] In the fallowing weeks, im going to be putting together a website and be hosting it localy [01:08] k [01:08] linux_guy: free computar! [01:08] dtchen: flash does show through the meter. but if I play flash, non of my alsa apps work anymore. Which is why I started this process of researching what is going on. [01:08] Ive been doing my research for a good server os [01:08] hubaker: what's the question? [01:08] linux_guy: look up unetbootin [01:08] lol [01:09] hubaker: depends on what you need it for [01:09] and the three ive came up with is server 03, free bsd, and ubuntu server [01:09] cratel: make sure all your alsa apps are configured to use 'default' instead of 'plughw' or 'hw' [01:09] ill be hosting 1 or 2 websites [01:09] cratel: that last bit is *essential* [01:09] oh i got unetbootin [01:09] hubaker: depends on what you need the websites to do [01:09] generally linux webservers stay up a VERY long time [01:09] hubaker: use Ubuntu LTS or debian stable [01:09] im curious if that oLD BIOS supports boot from usb? [01:09] but, yeah depends on the website [01:09] dtchen: well maybe the problem is the app then because there's 2 options: plugin and hdware. [01:09] linux_guy: maybe not. flash it [01:09] anybody have problems with the ati catalyst app? [01:10] when did boot from usb become a popular bios option [01:10] anyone here use ROX-filemanager? I need to know the command line switch for the Set Run Action As... setting. For example, the default (the active file) is "$@" [01:10] still, much better option than a Microsoft server [01:10] linux_guy: in 2001 [01:10] cratel: which app? [01:10] linux_guy: more than 5 years ago [01:10] * linux_guy says D'OH! [01:10] boot from USB is always flaky for me [01:10] dtchen: puredata [01:10] well, nothing flashy. ill be dev'ing the website on adobe contribute, so php, http, css would be the makings of the website [01:10] now a consern for me is the ease of use for managing the website [01:10] burn it is [01:10] How can I get Ubuntu warning beeps to play the defined sounds (from sound settings) instead of just beeping the internal speaker? [01:10] are you expecting heavy traffic on the site? [01:11] lol @ Ricky Ticky Tavy [01:11] hubaker: not heard of adobe contribute [01:11] dtchen: audacity too. [01:11] could my problem with wine be related to graphics card driver ? [01:11] hubaker: LAMP is pretty easy to set up [01:11] if nothing crazy, it shouldn't be hard to set up [01:11] no, less then a hundred hits a month [01:11] more like 50 at best [01:11] just be sure to secure it! [01:11] cratel: ah, that's due to both PulseAudio and JACK requiring exclusive (hw) access [01:11] if you are exposing your machine to the net you have to make sure your server is tight [01:11] dtchen: I'm not using JACK though. [01:11] cratel: JACK does not like (default) or (plughw) [01:11] anyone here use ROX-filemanager? I need to know the command line switch for the Set Run Action As... setting. For example, the default (the active file) is "$@" [01:12] cratel: yes, and puredata falls back to (plughw) or (hw) [01:12] sorry, I use Rox with puppy linux [01:12] thats my next concern, how secure is ubuntu server compared to free bsd and server 2003 [01:12] but I don't know the command line option [01:12] oh [01:12] dtchen: with puredata I can choose OSS, ALSA or JACK. [01:12] dude, that's completely up to you [01:12] cratel: your audio hardware simply doesn't have native multiopen, so you can't have multiple apps using (plughw) or (hw) [01:12] NetBSD is very secure out of the box [01:12] but normally you need to secure your own server [01:12] not trust the defaults [01:12] hubaker: no server is secure enough that you can skip doing backups [01:12] good morning all ^_o [01:13] a hardened linux box can be any distro [01:13] it is up to you to harden it [01:13] hubaker: make sure to snip the ethernet cable once you're on the net [01:13] dtchen: ok. I think I was expecting too much. Some day Linux apps will truly share the sound card they way OS X can. [01:13] How can I get Ubuntu warning beeps to play the defined sounds (from sound settings) instead of just beeping the internal speaker? === c is now known as Guest88347 [01:13] dtchen: I do appreciate your help and I am glad to know how to restart pulseaudio [01:13] uhh, well if i snip the ethernet...i dont think i would be getting very far now would i? === Octoroks__ is now known as Octoroks [01:14] hubaker: but it would be secure =) [01:14] it would be quite secure no dobt === Octoroks is now known as Octoroks__ [01:14] anyone here use ROX-filemanager? I need to know the command line switch for the Set Run Action As... setting. For example, the default (the active file) is "$@" === Octoroks__ is now known as Octoroks [01:14] gah this is hopeless [01:14] I would like to speak with someone that has ubuntu installed on an external drive [01:15] like usb?

[01:22] backgen: have you tried opening the file with the GIMP ? [01:22] Jack_Sparrow I think that it would not be easy to make such external HD to boot ubuntu, but not impossible either, propably difficulty would be getting that HD to look like a USB stick for most computers, and that would contain all needed information .... [01:22] nsgn, open FF is okey, but launch any thing takes 5m - 10minutes [01:22] drash: yeh didn't work...gimme a sec i'll copy error message [01:22] spencer, ie nameserver 111.111.111.111 [01:22] usser: agh, i forget exact WxH. its 720p [01:22] drash: Error interpreting JPEG image file (Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x1b 0xab) [01:22] furythor the boot partition on the cd takes care of that [01:23] usser, that's EXACTLY it..

[01:24] spencer -> what does your /etc/resolv.conf file ahve? [01:24] spencer, ignores it [01:24] nsgn, do u have any idea ? [01:24] hmm [01:24] hmmm alright i followed this tutorial online to show me how to create a LAMP server (http://maketecheasier.com/setting-up-a-lamp-server-in-ubuntu-hardy-heron/2008/08/06) and when i get to the step at the end where i go to http://localhost/wordpress to configure my settings... i get a "database error" why is this? Any ideas on how to fix it? [01:24] jove: if ff loads fast but once you give it a URL it takes 5 to 10 mins to load a page you have a serious network issue [01:24] or you're on 8kbps dialup :) [01:24] spencer: so it would only use ipv6 if i deactivated it in the kernel right?

(i'm a terminal noobie :D) [01:25] furythor: it will look the same to the bios [01:25] jove: what kind of internet connection do you have? how are you getting it into this computer? you gotta give us some relevant details for us to even start [01:25] Any ideas? =] [01:25] backgen: "file awesomeimage.jpg" or whatevr it's called [01:26] so basically it should be possible with usb2.0 [01:26] agreed [01:26] I've got a problem: I installed Nexuiz (through Synaptic).

[01:27] slart: should be! its my friends drawings i believe [01:27] slart: most likely just scanned pictures [01:27] hmmm alright i followed this tutorial online to show me how to create a LAMP server (http://maketecheasier.com/setting-up-a-lamp-server-in-ubuntu-hardy-heron/2008/08/06) and when i get to the step at the end where i go to http://localhost/wordpress to configure my settings... i get a "database error" why is this? Any ideas on how to fix it? [01:27] I am wondering, why I get unrendered or bad text in wine, when I did not have that problem in 8.04 [01:28] backgen: I guess you had better talk to your friend and ask what format it's in.. you could try opening it as a raw image in gimp but you would have to guess the height and width etc [01:28] !info msttfonts [01:28] Package msttfonts does not exist in intrepid [01:28] !info msttcorefonts [01:28] msttcorefonts (source: msttcorefonts): Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts.

Everyone here will probably recommend learning html. It's really not that hard. [01:32] my ethernet connection drops randomly while streaming video through my network and while downloading sometimes, can someone help me out?

[01:39] jove: also check logs. it's probably telling you whats happening somewhere [01:39] Spirits-Sight: its always better and cleaner to do it by hand [01:39] can anyone tell me what the name of that program that installs video drivers is called? [01:40] Spirits-Sight: since not all browser show it in the same way [01:40] RyanP, ok with cd in drive, type sudo umount /dev/cdrom [01:40] jove: i think we maybe having the same issue === rachel is now known as Guest33435 [01:40] k [01:40] RyanP, sudo mount /dev/cdrom [01:40] uvacav: hmm... i try to edit the files there, but it says access denied, how do i make changes to the files and save them in the files that they are located?

[01:42] xonpathos, I had trouble with Nvidia and changed to ATI and everything is fine now [01:43] RyanP, well yea, its a cdrom you cant write to it, but why does it detect it as block device? [01:43] usser: strange... I just found that my problem is that the comp can't handle Nexuiz in 1024x768, yet under windows I can run it 1280x1024 no prob [01:43] RyanP, this is weird [01:43] Spirits-Sight: you really aren't supposed to use tables for layouts. use css.

Any help? [01:43] jove -> what exactly is the issue? [01:43] bobbyyg: but it's been a looooong time since I tried them [01:43] jove: that didn't tell me much. i'm looking for whether it is running full or half duplex. beyond that you'll probably have to ask someone more knowledgeable about your specific hardware and the kernel [01:43] tuxedocurly: you will need root access. you can run the text editor with sudo for example [01:44] xonpathos, nexuiz is a bit weird, it doesnt perform well for on any os [01:44] hey guys .. seems my computer is resolving all non-existent DNS records to a certain IP... e.g http://gdfgdfsgfdsgdfsgdf, what can I do to fix? [01:44] nsgn, how to find out half or full duplex ? [01:44] uvacav: how do i do that?

I'm trying to install the newest ati drivers and it's just not freaking working... I've installed them, ran aticonfig --initial and it changed the xorg and the directions said to reboot. I did and X wouldn't start, apparently the Xauthority file had an error with locking or unlocking, i'm not sure... [01:44] usser: that might explain it. I've not really had a problem running WoW in Wine (except a weird mouse issue) [01:44] uvacav: im sorry ha ha, im totally new to this [01:45] tuxedocurly: well I dont know if this is really the recommended way, but its possible to just run 'sudo gedit' [01:45] tuxedocurly: use gksu instead of sudo for graphical applications that need root permissions [01:45] n8tuser, launching FF is soooooo slow. [01:45] jove: you'll have to get someone else to help from this point. i'm not extremely linux experienced. i was just lending generalized troubleshooting until it got too linux specific [01:45] tuxedocurly: oops drash is correct [01:45] Ahh...

You need the program called unetbootin [01:47] Hello, does anyone know additional popular secondary archives other than medibuntu?

[01:56] nsgn, umm, apt is supposed to do that for me :-P [01:56] savid: :P well something didn't work [01:56] savid: you're saying apt is giving you that? [01:56] Since I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 my wifi stopped working. Now I have 8.10 and still no wifi. It seems that in 8.10 it supposed to work out-of-the-box, but it doesn't. Likely because of some manipulations I did in 7.04 to make it work. How can I undo my manipulations to get wifi working? [01:56] nsgn, yes, apt-get gave me that error...

[01:58] savid: read the upper part of what it's saying. it says some packages needed either don't exist or aren't compatible with your install [01:58] then it proceeds to try anyway and that's when it says it can't find what it needs on your machine [01:58] I am trying to use rsync to remotely backup files. I need it to have root access to the remote filesystem (which is running Ubuntu, and so has no root password). Should I set a root password or is there a better way to allow rsync to have remote root access? [01:58] how does the concept of an "NFS Mount" compare to mounting a samba/windows network share to mnt ? [01:58] apt is doing it's job. the packages aren't there for some reason [01:58] WordPress apparently isn’t to keen on the new password structure of MySQL 5, so I had to run the following query to give my WordPress user an “old” password. SET PASSWORD FOR some_user@some_host = OLD_PASSWORD('your_old password_here'); -----------> my question is... how do i make it do this? [01:58] tuxedocurly: ok. its a command to run from mysql client so run that with "mysql -u root -p" then enter your root password when prompted. Then run the command putting in your username for "some_user" and localhost for "some_host" (i think) . and then enter what you want your password to be in the inside old_password [01:59] mustangg -> much easier [01:59] Yes. But I read that now Ubuntu uses iwlwifi. [01:59] mustangg, it remounts if the server gets restarted, samba mount just freezes [01:59] n8tuser, I paste it in the paste.ubuntu.com under name: jove [01:59] tuxedocurly: from what I understand its basically that your password for access to the db has to formatted with some old style instead of the format thats current in mysql5 [01:59] X-tremAl_Raven, that is the iwlwifi module iwl3945 prior to 8.10 ubuntu used ipw [01:59] nsgn: Well sorry, it was worth a shot. Try another cd or do the usb key install. It's pretty fast and the instructions are fairly easy. [01:59] jove give me the url please so i can click [01:59] Does anyone know a good list of secondary repositories for Ubuntu 8.10? [02:00] is there any gui tool i can use to mount my ntfs drive in 8.10 [02:00] thx drash, I have alsa but i'm lookin at pulse [02:00] n8tuser: it's posted at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/113856/ [02:00] mharvey-ple, when you connect it it should offer to mount it, does it not recognize it at all? [02:00] nkei0: i'm doing the USB thing [02:00] No this is one existing on the laptop [02:01] mharvey-ple: NTFS configuration tool [02:01] ok, time to really show my noobishness: is there a way to stop the "has joined" and "has left" messages? [02:01] usser - but are the two compatible? can I mount a samba share locally as nfs? [02:01] mharvey-ple, it should be in the "places" menu [02:01] jove I requested several info, but you only posted two, anyhow.. i dont believe your 129.145.155.220 nameserver is working [02:01] Anyone here have any experience with Xauthority? [02:02] http://pastebin.com/mbefe9d0 http://pastebin.com/d4387fe75 http://pastebin.com/d3feaffe6 [02:02] jove -> and neither is 129.145.154.118 [02:02] xonpathos, no, that's not too newbie of a question for IRC. It varies by client, it should be in one of your menus. [02:02] mustangg, no, im not sure what you mean by compatible, in other words both can be mounted on the local filesystems and treated just like regular directories, but commands to mount them are different [02:02] These are interfaces file, iwconfig and ifconfig [02:02] Will Ubuntu run pretty smoothly on 199MB of RAM? [02:02] n8tuser, should i remove the IP 129.145.155.220 ? [02:03] well here is the thing. I chose the install of " install this under windows " when I put in the ubuntu cd [02:03] linux_guy, probably not by default, you might want to try xubuntu which uses the xfce window management which uses less resources [02:03] http://pastebin.com/d5edaee11 [02:03] X-tremAl_Raven -> missing info, kind provide what i requested [02:03] ruediix: thanks, I'll head to the docs for irssi then [02:03] so im looking to see if i can view tha prttition with all my windows files on it [02:03] jove use a known working name server [02:03] X-tremAl_Raven, what does iwconfig say? [02:03] X-tremAl_Raven -> missing info, kindly* provide what i requested [02:03] usser - I have a small NAS being shared out by samba. my app (mondorescue) prefers actual nfs mount. I can't change the samba end but can change my workstation settings. [02:03] mharvey-ple, is there something in your Places menu that says "100.0 GB Media" or something (the correct size)? [02:04] checking... [02:04] How can I get Ubuntu warning beeps to play the defined sounds (from sound settings) instead of just beeping the internal speaker? [02:04] hosts and resolve are ok, my ethernet connection works fine. [02:04] nope [02:04] linux_guy depends on your configuration. I've run Linux variants with under 64MB of RAM, if I use a lightweight desktop environment instead of GNOME or KDE. [02:04] http://pastebin.com/d4387fe75 [02:04] mustangg, theres nothing you can do on the client's end to treat samba share as nfs [02:04] mharvey-ple, ok, then I don't know, sorry, you'll have to find someone else who knows more about this stuff [02:05] n8tuser, I removed all 129.145 network....what else should be done ? [02:05] how do I default all my sound settings in ubuntu? [02:05] its all gooodill try later [02:05] X-tremAl_Raven -> i cannot give you good advise if am missing info.. please provide as requested [02:05] mharvey-ple, well, one thing that you might need to do is make sure you have installed NTFS software [02:05] uvacav: it says "cant find matching row in the user table" [02:05] so the gui is the pig? [02:05] Linux_guy, if you have USB, you may want to just use a flash-drive to create a swap partition, that'll really help with the speed. [02:05] jove it seems only 68.87.76.178 is working [02:05] ahh word.. thanks tsrk [02:05] X-tremAl_Raven, well i see eth1 is being detected as wireless interface [02:05] mharvey-ple, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009 [02:05] n8tuser.....greeting, it resolved...Thanks so much for your kindness help!!!! [02:05] How do I see the hidden files/folders in a directory in terminal? [02:06] nkei0, ls -a [02:06] nkei0, ls -a [02:06] :( [02:06] you win [02:06] tsrk: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Any troubleshooting help appreciated... [02:07] No. And it cannot see any wifi access points. [02:07] X-tremAl_Raven, can you do sudo iwlist scan [02:08] X-tremAl_Raven, also is old ipw module loaded? lsmod | grep ipw [02:08] usser - so if I want access to my NAS I have no choice but to mount as cifs..? [02:08] http://pastebin.com/d459db5e0 [02:08] we'll see how well 8.10 runs on 199MB of RAM in about 4 years when the install finishes. =) [02:08] Linux_Guy, in desperate measures the PC compialation for GPE (developed for palmtops) which is in there for use in nettops and media centers. [02:08] lsmod | grep ipw returns none [02:08] X-tremAl_Raven, can you try sudo ifconfig eth1 up [02:08] X-tremAl_Raven -> i will defer to usser for now.. dont want to be cause of confusion [02:09] <_VIM_> 8.10 on 199 ram? O.o [02:09] _VIM_, is it going to suck? [02:09] linux_guy, I'd recommend against the default install, that will take forever on an archaic machine. [02:09] I just bought a new monitor that says it's max native resolution is 1920x1200. But I can't get the monitor to that res. Both the ubuntu monitor res app and the nvidia X Server Settings app say the max res is 1600x1200. Can anyone help? [02:09] <_VIM_> you must like pain [02:09] it sure is [02:09] * linux_guy got a free computer tonight. [02:10] Cyberai: you may not have a capable video card [02:10] Cyberai, if you get the X server's startup logs, does it say anything about why it's discarding some modes? [02:10] sudo ifconfig eth1 up - SIOCSIFFLAGS: Connection timed out [02:10] nsgn, it's an Nvidia 5200 [02:10] Pentium III, 199 Ram, 40 GB, Win98 hahaha [02:10] nsgn, hold on, you may be right, let me look that up [02:10] 1x CD Rom [02:10] Cyberai your video card might not support the resolution (some nvidia cards don't support over 1600x1200 due to the hack they use to handle full screen antialiasing.) [02:10] lol [02:10] X-tremAl_Raven, is it define in /etc/network/interfaces? cat /etc/network/interfaces | grep eth1 [02:10] linux_guy: wow...i stop taking things less than P4 [02:11] <_VIM_> would 8.10 even run on that? [02:11] nsgn, p3s are still great! [02:11] No. [02:11] uvacav: i ran that command... but now that? it has a "-->" in the terminal [02:11] what do i type? [02:11] install is at 50% [02:11] usser: im in the resale business [02:11] they arent worth enough to me [02:11] a P4 or greater i can make a decent bit off of [02:12] less than P4 nobody will pay worth my time to refurbish it :P [02:12] How can I get Ubuntu warning beeps to play the defined sounds (from sound settings) instead of just beeping the internal speaker? Any troubleshooting help appreciated... [02:12] but for a little monowall box or something, sure [02:12] good use of old hardware :) [02:12] it weighs 150lbs too! [02:12] linux_guy, is it a laptop? If so grab an external CDROM, if it's a desktop, just grab a spare. (I keep hundreds of spare CDROMS drives around, mainly because I never know when I'll need crappy parts for some project.) [02:13] X-tremAl_Raven, cat you pastebin /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [02:13] linux_guy -> stanford is selling bunch of their old 1 unit - 2 P3 1GHz servers.. 80 bux [02:13] someone mind telling me how i can drag and drop a file i have into a directory without it saying "Access Denied" ?? [02:13] nsgn, check thsi out -- "DVI support for compatibility with nextgeneration flat panel displays with resolutions up to and including 1600×1200" from the nvidia web site. [02:14] Anyone want to help me with installing the new ati drivers AND my Xauthority issues OR reverting to my old ones?? [02:14] GeffIsLegend: Where are you dragging the file to? [02:14] argh [02:14] http://pastebin.com/d5fd7c100 [02:14] GeffIsLegend -> denied at destination? [02:14] icons for a theme i have [02:14] GeffIsLegend, try using a directory that you have authority to access with your standard user. [02:14] looks like I'm off to Best Buy in the morning [02:14] how do i make my account the admin user? [02:14] I'm trying to get this going for a family member. They currently use my Asus/Core2/MuchRam rig as a web browser and solitaire. YIKES! [02:14] i amm looking for a tool which increase the volume of my soundcard over 100% [02:15] Cyberai, you could just run at a lower resolution, but I recommend using one that is the right ratio. [02:15] ruediix, yeah, I'm doing graphics work in GIMP. I need native res [02:15] Ok... I am having trouble with the extra effects, but I know that it's not my graphics card. [02:15] Cyberai: i was right? :) [02:15] nsgn, yes [02:15] X-tremAl_Raven, can you try renaming eth1 to SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:1c:bf:19:ce:4c", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan0" [02:15] linux_guy -> the key is make them happy [02:15] Cyberai: bummer for you [02:15] next step will be getting the dual monitor setup working [02:15] X-tremAl_Raven, ie comment out the eth1 and put this one [02:15] GeffIsLegend: please use sudo instead of root as login [02:15] I was having problems with my wireless card earlier, so I did some research and I found a patch that Will Daniels created on this forum page Bug #196285 in linux (Ubuntu): “[Regression] Realtek RTL-8185 Wifi not recognized in Hardy 8.04 Alpha 5” . I read the instructions, ran ./makedrv and then ran sudo ./wlan0up and it installed the wifi card, however whenev [02:16] X-tremAl_Raven, oh and mac address too [02:16] nsgn, nah, I'll just go get another nvidia card in the morning that can do 1920x1200 [02:16] CyberAI, by the way I'd recomend Cinepaint over GIMP.\ [02:16] X-tremAl_Raven, ie ATTR{address}=="00:1c:bf:19:ce:4c" should be ATTRS{address}=="00:19:d2:3c:64:a9" [02:16] iceroot im not sure i know what that means ":[ [02:16] !sudo | GeffIsLegend [02:16] GeffIsLegend: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [02:17] kk thnx ^^ [02:17] * linux_guy is OT, back on topic. Apologies [02:17] Done. Now what to do to test? [02:17] CyberAI, Cinepaint is a Gimp derivative with higher bit quality, and some additional features. It got branched due to compatability frustrations with several other branches of the GIMP project. [02:17] X-tremAl_Raven, try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [02:17] anyone? [02:17] How do you install the c, c++, and ruby libraries? Also, does this support pthreads? [02:18] is anyone familiar with mondo(rescue) for backup/restore? [02:18] bigmb, pthreads is in POSIX standard any linux distribution supports it [02:18] how do I make ubuntu boot into a terminal by default so I have to start the window manager manually [02:18] bigmb: build-essentials, has gcc and g++ [02:18] mikesholle1: anyone what? [02:18] hi guys, anyone uses Avant Desktop Manager? How to prevent it from "rearranging" the windows list everytime we do maximize-minimize of window [02:18] I was having problems with my wireless card earlier, so I did some research and I found a patch that Will Daniels created on this forum page Bug #196285 in linux (Ubuntu): “[Regression] Realtek RTL-8185 Wifi not recognized in Hardy 8.04 Alpha 5”. I read the instructions, ran ./makedrv and then ran sudo ./wlan0up and it installed the wifi card, however whenever I reboot the card is missing again and I have to start o [02:18] <_VIM_> there's no 's' at the end of build-essential [02:18] X-tremAl_Raven, actually try restarting === FireFox is now known as FireFox|deviant [02:19] Want to rename my user from 'bobx' to 'bob', could i simply edit the /etc/passwd file and rename from there then change the 'bob' password or i must create the new user?

I always end up doing it twice, the second time without s :) [02:19] <_VIM_> :D [02:19] Hi [02:19] usser, What's the library I'll include? [02:19] Nothing changed. Same on ifconfig and iwconfig [02:19] bigmb: sudo aptitude install build-essential, installs gcc and g++ required to compile c and c++ programs [02:19] bigmb: Among other programs [02:20] Oh. Ok. Be back in a few minutes [02:20] bigmb, pthread.h [02:21] Do i need to UN INSTALL drivers be 4 installing new ones? or will it automatically do this? *display driver* === tyler is now known as Guest29650 === Guest29650 is now known as tdawgedogg [02:21] sn007ake: Depends, which driver are you trying to install? [02:21] How can I get Ubuntu warning beeps to play the defined sounds (from sound settings) instead of just beeping the internal speaker? Any troubleshooting help appreciated... [02:22] N-A: I can help you turn that sound off [02:22] Well Currently i have the Open source and im switching to the Propriety drivers. [02:22] mikesholle1: Ah, yes, but can you help me turning on the defined sounds? ;-) [02:22] Whenever I try to run windows XP out of VirtualBox it gives me a "No bootable medium!" error [02:22] sn007ake: From the Hardware Devices? If so, then it should take care of everything [02:22] N-A: System -> Preferences -> Sounds -> System Beep [02:23] <_VIM_> N-A: yeah it's in sound prefs [02:23] N-A: Uncheck the system beep box [02:23] a L_Y | [02:23] mikesholle1: I don't see that there [02:23] N-A: Then hit the system sounds tab and have fun [02:23] N-A: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [02:23] j #xchat [02:23] Well im downloading it strait from the mfg website...... and will need to install them. Im not doing it through ubuntu [02:23] mikesholle1: Intrepid [02:24] hi guys, how is the latest ubuntu 64bit working nowadays?, I just got a centrino duo laptop and I would like to install ubuntu, but heard that 64 bit ubuntu was having some problems in the past [02:24] okay, that font problem is not just with wine [02:24] sn007ake: ATI or nVidia? [02:24] just noticed that also open office has bad fonts [02:24] N-A: Maybe it's in a different spot with Intrepid than Hardy [02:24] can anyone suggest a good backup application which would allow me to backup at / but specify exclusions [02:24] sn007ake: Also, it is recommended that you use the drivers from the repositories [02:24] and not need scripting? [02:24] ATI sir, [02:24] !ati | sn007ake [02:24] sn007ake: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [02:24] when will that right mouse button click bug in firefox be fixed for chrisakes? [02:25] mikesholle1: I don't see anything like that [02:25] mercutio22: what is this bug? i've not seen it [02:25] mercutio22: new user here, so i'm curious [02:25] N-A: I run 8.04 so maybe it was relocated in Intrepid, I don't know N-A [02:25] I feel really dumb, does gcc not work for .cpp files? [02:25] bigmb: g++ or .cpp files [02:25] mikesholle1: What I've got in there is devices (where I've got everything on pulseaudio) and the sounds (the different sound events that I want it to play, but that it doesn't but instead just beeps the internal speaker) [02:26] bigmb: for* [02:26] nsgn> right clicking triggers random actions like adding a link to the bookmarks or sending it via email instead of popping up the menu. It happens annoyingly often [02:26] What is the canonical method for installing Firefox extensions for which no ".deb" package exists? Is it to simply let Firefox install the ".xpi" file from the add-on site? and how will this be managed in subsequent upgrades of the main Firefox package? [02:26] mercutio22: really? wow...sounds like i'll have a fun time browsing [02:26] _VIM_: Where in sound prefs, do you know (in intrepid)? [02:26] plazia: Handled pretty well. Firefox manages its own addons then [02:27] ok, it doesn't recognize the pthread library. Do I have to install this for cpp programs? [02:27] <_VIM_> plazia: just install extensions normally [02:27] nsgn> try it out a couple times. Right click some links and come back [02:27] WebcamWonder, so it's all cool to install .xpi files and I shouldn't stay awake at night worrying about the consequences? [02:27] I have an issue where the "system tray" icons are not where they should be besides the clock but instead are in their own little window. This in ubuntu intrepid. any ideas? [02:27] mercutio22: trying to install right now, but i will [02:27] _VIM_, kewl thanks [02:27] WebcamWonder, thanks [02:27] didn't help. Same on ifconfig and iwconfig. The only thing that changed that in fwconfig instead eth1 it has wlan0 [02:27] Want to rename my user from 'bobx' to 'bob', could i simply edit the /etc/passwd file and rename from there then change the 'bob' password or i must create the new user? [02:27] plazia: Nope. And above all, Ubuntu has yet to backport new versions of firefox, so you might not even see any :P [02:28] jmk2 -> yes just rename it in /etc/passwd no need to create a new user [02:28] Disable system beep on Ubuntu Intrepid | otype.net [02:28] bigmb: can you do: locate pthread.h [02:28] jmk2: You need to edit /etc/passwd, etc/shadow, /etc/group, and ensure the home directories match up. [02:28] <_VIM_> N-A: sorry, I'm a 8.04 user too, i guess 8.10 really moved a lot of things around :( [02:28] X-tremAl_Raven, ifconfig wlan0 up doesnt help [02:29] mikesholle1: Yes, I got that explanation earlier, but if I do that, I just disable the beep, I don't get the right sounds [02:29] WebcamWonder: there is no return to the statement when I type it in terminal, just the next prompt [02:29] _VIM_: OK, thx neway [02:29] X-tremAl_Raven, does dmesg say anything? when you try to bring it up? [02:29] bigmb: That means you don't have pthread, wait let me search which packages offers it [02:29] jmk2, and your first step is to back up all three files, Just In Case [02:29] wlan0 up still says SIOCSIFFLAGS: Connection timed out [02:30] hey can some1 help me installmy usb soundcard? [02:30] http://pastebin.com/d3b48b210 [02:30] N-A: I would imagine, with the way Hardy is set up, that it's the same format. Disable the beep first, then add the sounds you wish to play in for the specific errors. In Hardy, we have a check box to disable the system beep, which is the command I just sent you. Then you have to find somewhere in your system preferences or administration a place where all your system sounds show up. [02:30] is there any application in linux to open "ntuser.dat" file or the SOFTWARE file of windows? [02:30] <_VIM_> N-A: but by disabling the system beep and enabling a custom sound file should do the trick... [02:30] anyone in here running UME?

[02:37] All, I've been trying to install the 180.22 NVIDIA driver... every time I try to do it, following every forum thread I can find I still get the error with the mismatched kernel module version..

[02:38] ubottu, thx [02:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about thx [02:38] _VIM_: curious, that does nothing on mine :-S [02:38] VoodooDance: did you try the restriected driver manager (jockey-gtk)? [02:38] bigmb: Are you have glibc package? :S Weird... are you sure it insatlled it? [02:38] installed backport-modules. Should I remove them? [02:38] <_VIM_> N-A: or the 'new school' way of doing it maybe something like sudo invoke-rc.d pulseaudio restart? [02:38] sacrificing chickens does sound appealing. [02:38] X-tremAl_Raven, yea [02:38] Titan8990, no, I haven't seen that one in a forum... how do I do it? [02:38] WebcamWonder: Yeah, I installed. I just put .h and it compiled fine...I'm going to make sure the functions work fine. Silly mistakes [02:38] How can I get Ubuntu warning beeps to play the defined sounds (from sound settings) instead of just beeping the internal speaker? Any troubleshooting help appreciated...

Having trouble installing madwifi drivers as in i dont know how.. seems there are generic drivers working as it works but i need the mad wifi for injection. thanks for help on how to install [02:39] bigmb: No problems. Thats what I am here for :P [02:39] VoodooDance: open up the terminal, type the following: gksu jockey-gtk [02:39] <_VIM_> WebcamWonder: ok well i didnt use flags [02:39] <_VIM_> so i donno [02:39] Can anyone help me create a startup script? [02:39] ok.. I need to reset my video drivers... dong that as quick as I can [02:39] VoodooDance: what do you mean reset? [02:39] mikesholle1: for what? [02:39] envyng -t [02:40] remove the manually installed driver and use envyng to install the packaged one. [02:40] VoodooDance: if I'm not mistaken envyng is no longer supported [02:40] mikesholle1- the easiest way to do it is look at /etc/init.d and find the simplest startup script you can and edit it [02:40] !envyng | VoodooDance [02:40] VoodooDance: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) we suggest you use envyng if every other (official/supported) method fails! it can have various results from works, to fails!!! if you want the very latest drivers from the manufacturer you use them at your own risk [02:40] Hi. Anyone home? [02:40] yoyoned2: My Wifi card doesn't work by default with 8.04 so I downloaded something to remedy the problem. However, every time I restart, I seem to lose the card again and have to open terminal back up and rerun the commands. [02:41] mikesholle1: i agree with niku,copy and edit an existing one [02:41] Titan8990, well it will get me usable video drivers [02:41] then I can try the jockey-gtk [02:41] Anyone else still running 7.04? Tried an update? [02:41] /etc/init.d/vbesave looks like a nice simple one to munge [02:41] VoodooDance: I have used it with good results as well, but like the bot says, it should be a last resort [02:41] VoodooDance: Are you asking for help after a kernel upgrade broke envy? [02:41] what could cause my font problem, as multiple applications are affected by it, but not all [02:41] dang my sound server died gotta restart [02:41] wahoo, i'm USB installing :) [02:41] death to CDs [02:41] !font [02:41] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash?

[02:42] I've setup kvpnc to run a vpn to a remote box, ifconfig tells me that I now have a IP address on that subnet on the ppp0 interface. However, when I try and ping the machines on the remote network, nothing happens. Is there someway to state what interface I want to use to be able to do stuff like ssh? [02:42] those are all startup scripts and then there are different runlevels which call them [02:42] niku: do you have a recommendatino for which one I should use? [02:43] that vbesave one is pretty good [02:43] Anyone else getting 404 not found on about 7 or 10 of the files it's trying to fetch while trying to find out if I need an update? I'm running 7.04 [02:43] Done. Now what should I do to check?

In other words, I want to be able to use the same user account on my laptop that I use with my regular computer so I can access all the same files. Is this possible with Ubuntu? [02:53] X-tremAl_Raven, after you switched it on, do sudo rmmod iwl3945 sudo modprobe iwl3945 [02:53] http://pastebin.com/d7c7b9908 [02:53] Titan8990: i knew somebody would say that, just to play around with it. never did much server stuff, so something to play with [02:53] VoodooDance: it sends you to the console?

[02:54] hello typing metacity --replace & causes title bar to appear while enabling compiz causes it to disapear...How do i fix this so it always appears?

[03:06] like the wireless broadband service [03:07] i wanna ask about infrared modem [03:07] hello [03:07] Howdy, #ubuntu. I'm curious about X11 forwarding. I use matlab for some school work, and rather than buy a copy of it, or use a Free work-alike, I like to ssh to a school machine that has matlab on it. When I need the gui for viewing graphs and junk, I do it with ssh -X. My question is, how come it's as slow as it is? I, nor the school machine seem to be bandwidth-bound, and I get sub 50ms latency to it. Where's the hold up, and is there an [03:08] can i use the ubuntu bot through aim or msn? [03:08] If that got cutoff anywhere, let me know. :-P [03:08] <_VIM_> x forwarding is exremely slow... you're better off with VNC if you can [03:08] Vorondil: Where's the hold up, and is there a ... lost :P [03:08] Vorondil: And you can use -C for compression, but yes, it is generally slow [03:08] "Where's the hold up, and is there anything I can do about it?" (end) [03:09] <_VIM_> god WebcamWonder is the flag master LOL geesh is there a flag you dont know about? ;) [03:09] can i use the ubuntu bot through aim or msn?

[03:09] Vorondil, X is not bandwidth friendly -- and there's the overhead of encryption over the SSH connection [03:10] hmm, I think that my font problem with wine is somehoe related to compiz [03:10] fortex: it's basically enabling ubuntu to monitor your temp and adjust things accordingly [03:10] _VIM_: aptitude -vvvv :) [03:10] is there any way to entirely toggle compiz off ?

And I am not aware of any mechanism that can make ti speed it up [03:11] furythor1: or disable extra effects from right click -> change desktop background, far right tab [03:11] unop: That's just it, my gkrellm is showing hardly any bandwidth usage. Thus my confusion.

[03:12] Vorondil, what i mean is its worse off compared to things like VNC [03:12] Vorondil, but the key overhead is the encryption, that's what causes the slowdown [03:12] EtFb: your not going to get very far with that unless you are using a toshiba or dell, which are the only that seems to suspend/hibernate well [03:12] unop: Mm, I see. [03:12] hi. [03:12] Is anyone who is running gnome with dual screen seeing this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-panel/+bug/311027 [03:13] EtFb: because they are the only ones with support in the 2.6.27 kernel [03:13] Titan8990: It's a Toshiba, like my previous one (which had no problems) [03:13] Yeah, I did disable those effects and it made texture to appear, but still hardly readable [03:13] Vorondil, this might help you - http://samat.org/weblog/20060508-best-ssh-options-for-x11-forwarding.html [03:13] Titan8990: Toshiba Satellite A300. A very nice machine except for that. [03:13] EtFb: search synaptic for toshiba utilities [03:14] frank23: Any specific reason? If someone is experiencing that bug, he/she will report it to launchpad, and confirm it as "Me too" [03:14] furythor1: have you actually installed the correct ms fonts? [03:14] howdy, i have a mobile phone (nokia 6610i). [03:14] can i connect to the internet using ubuntu with this phone? [03:14] unop: Ah, I'll check it out, thanks. :) [03:14] EtFb: http://www.buzzard.org.uk/toshiba [03:15] dbenx86: I've connected successfully using a Nokia N95 as a modem, so I would expect it's at least possible. [03:15] going to install now [03:15] ok, i've gotten Ubuntu all installed and activated the nonfree nvidia driver [03:15] however [03:15] EtFb: you are looking for those utils [03:15] while video playback is smooth [03:15] WebcamWonder: I confirmed the bug. I'm just wondering if everyone who has dual screen is affected by it. [03:15] it still has sync issues/tears [03:15] unfortunately my mob phone dont have bluetooth [03:15] EtFb: I use gentoo on my toshiba so I can comment on ubuntu specifics [03:15] !enter | nsgn [03:15] nsgn: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:15] Yeah, I got newest version now [03:15] frank23: I don't think you will find people like that. It is just best to wait for upstream to confirm it [03:15] Still nothing works. Any suggestions? [03:16] only have infrared connection [03:16] Titan8990: Thanks - I [03:16] nsgn are you certain that you have decent codecs installed ? [03:16] Titan8990: Thanks - I'll read it. [03:16] because those can impact decode(display of video alot9 [03:16] furythor1: it's via flash10-nonfree on hulu.com in firefox [03:16] Hey, I'm kind of a noob here but I'm looking at upgrading the kernel in 8.10, I've got the kernel compiled from source, but I'm not sure what step to take next. [03:17] furythor1: i'll test in VNC with a downloaded file now. i still need it working on hulu though. i use that a lot [03:17] Xaero1: use a distro that supports vanilla kernels [03:17] and i really dont want to go back to windows on this machine [03:17] on some website ? [03:17] WebcamWonder: Yeah I just confirmed it upstream too. original bug reported 2007-12-21. there were 2 duplicates as well. nothing moved since then [03:17] Xaero1: because it is unlikely you will get that to work in ubuntu [03:17] Xaero1: ubuntu does a lot of patching to their kernel [03:18] furythor1: *VLC. god i did so much work in VNC today [03:18] Titan8990 I see, so I'm probably not going to be able to upgrade the kernel to the latest then? [03:18] Xaero1: I would say gentoo or slackware, but there are others [03:18] hello! firefox can not download,who know why? [03:18] Titan8990: Looks like that Toshiba page is six years out of date, sadly. Never mind, you've given me exactly what I need: an idea of what to search for. [03:18] !kernel | Xaero1 [03:18] Xaero1: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [03:18] EtFb: I still use those utils, they work even if they are 6 years old :) [03:18] seacnboy: Given the amount of information you've supplied, I can confidently say it's a case of demonic possession. Take your computer to a priest immediately. [03:19] Gnea: thanks for the link, I'll check it out :) [03:19] I got Ubuntu 8.10 and Intel 3945ABG wireless which is not working. Could anyone help? [03:19] Ahem. I've, ah, got a newbie question. I need to edit a text file, but don't have permissions. So how do I do that form a command line? [03:19] X-tremAI_Raven: have you tried compiling the linux_wireless drivers? [03:19] !wireless | X-tremAl_Raven [03:19] the latest ones? [03:19] X-tremAl_Raven: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:19] I know I can use sudo, but, what else do I need? [03:19] ZiRiS: sudo nano -w [03:19] Xaero1: are you actually trying to 2.6.28 kernel?? [03:19] http://pastebin.ca/1327687 i need help here [03:19] ZiRiS, or. gksudo gedit /path/to/file [03:19] yes Titan8990 I am [03:20] Read it. Still nothing. [03:20] ZiRiS: the -w is my annoyance with nano, you don't have to particularly use it [03:20] I've got it compiled to binaries my only problem is that I'm too much of a noob to setup a vmlinuz [03:20] er [03:20] thank you, unop, that's the one I needed, gksudo [03:20] initrd [03:20] <_VIM_> -w omg WebcamWonder lol there goes another flag :) [03:20] X-tremAl_Raven: perhaps you could explain the problem here, in more detail [03:20] Xaero1: I believe that is still considered a development release, it is feature in the ubuntu 9.04 if you are feel up to it [03:21] anyone familiar with modsecurity for apache? [03:21] _VIM_: I am only a newb in Linux. Quite literally :P [03:21] Xaero1: that is another thing, vmlinuz and initrd are made for kernels that are not custom compiled.... its just overhead you don't need [03:21] tty01: the people in #apache probably are [03:21] no one talks in there [03:21] and i need to patch a vulnerability damnit [03:21] Xaero1: sort of makes the kernel "one size fits all" [03:21] you have to be patient. [03:21] Titan8990 I'm trying to do this with as little reconstruction of my system as possible, would 9.04 install on top of 8.10 without overwriting to much? [03:22] hey guys getting this usb sound card working has been a real problem for me, im running 8.10 Intre..http://paste.ubuntu.com/113880/ any suggestions? [03:22] Xaero1: no, and it still beta, it is likely you will run in to issues [03:22] what could cause that font corruption in mostly wine programs ? [03:22] More detail: http://pastebin.com/d1b33beb http://pastebin.com/d7bb08c1b http://pastebin.com/d63093dd3 - these are iwconfig, ifconfig and lsmod | grep iwl [03:22] !jaunty | Xaero1 [03:22] tty01: sometimes it can take minutes or hours before i get a response - that's just how it is sometimes [03:22] Xaero1: Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [03:22] hello guys what is the alternative of notepad++ in ubuntu 8.04? and also what are the alternative of dreamweaver and photoshop for ubuntu? [03:22] I stand corrected, that didn't work, and I'm sorry, i missed the command about nano, can you please copy paste that for me? [03:22] is anyone here intimate with libpcap? i have to use a --with-pcap= when i configure, and i am wondering where to get a list of all the possible values of that variable [03:22] Titan8990 when I finished compiling my kernel and ran the sudo make 0=/home/xaero/build/kernel install it installed binaries to the /boot directory, I should just have to add it to grub to get it to boot correct? [03:22] I'm in BitchX and don't know how to scroll up to get it myself. [03:23] jigp: gedit, screem, gimp [03:23] genewitch: check the help of the configure itself. ./configure --help [03:23] Gnea : you can code php in gedit? [03:23] Xaero1: Ubuntu comes of with the wierdest, most off the wall ways to accomplish those tasks.... [03:23] <_VIM_> notepad++ would be bluefish alternative [03:23] genwitch the only value you can pass to --with-pcap would be the location of pcap [03:23] jigp: you can code php in any text editor [03:24] Xaero1: I have never took the time becuase that knowledge does not carry over to other distros and is pretty worthless in ubuntu [03:24] tty01: i'm trying to cross-compile libpcap0.8 [03:24] Ahem. I've, ah, got a newbie question. I need to edit a text file, but don't have permissions. So how do I do that from a command line? [03:24] jigp: altbough, I prefer vim or gvim [03:24] Xaero1: but, it is worth a try, just write the grub entry [03:24] I know I can use sudo, but, what else do I need? [03:24] ZiRis, sudo nano filename [03:24] *although [03:24] Titan8990, I've finally got back to into gui [03:24] Thank You, carpii! [03:24] Titan8990, so basically if I'm trying to get a different kernel for F@H purposes (the kernel that 8.10 comes with lower folding performance DRASTICALLY) I might be better off with a distro switch? [03:24] ah thats a different story [03:24] Gnea : how to run the file.php after using those applications? [03:25] Ctrl-O to save, Ctrl-X to quit :p [03:25] show of hands - how many people still compile their own kernels? [03:25] not me [03:25] jigp: you don't 'run' a php file, it's like an .html file - it has to be interpretted [03:25] especially not on ubuntu [03:25] * Gnea cannot show his hand on irc, it is physically impossible [03:25] Xaero1: well, that would depend on other needs that you have [03:25] Gnea - actually, you could run it if you specified an interpreter #!$(which php) or whatever [03:25] you can still run a php file as a script. Its not always run from a webserver [03:26] VoodooDance: did you have to do anything other change that line in xorg? [03:26] or just php-cli filename [03:26] yeah.. had to use envyng to get back up and running. [03:26] can i use the ubuntu bot through aim or msn? [03:26] so Im probably completely fubar now :) [03:26] Titan8990 should I use the uuid or drop to device names in my grub for my kernel compile? [03:26] Xaero1: Why is there a drastic performance difference for F@H? And how much is 'drastic'? just curious [03:26] well, yes, that's true, but if you're doing it for a web app, you might as well be using a browser and a server for that purpose [03:26] compiling your own kernel teaches you a lot! [03:27] Gnea : how to view my coded file.php? just like in dreamweaver I can view the output [03:27] maybe Gnea, but its also often you want to run maintenance php scripts from cron jobs [03:27] but yeah youre right, most likely he wants to run it from a browser [03:27] can i use the ubuntu bot through aim or msn? iteration; Please answer, even if you don't know the answer, thanks in advance...r [03:27] There is an incompatibility with the way F@H starts its subprocesses in SMP and manages their cpu usage, it reduces the Point-Per-Day output of F@H 20-30% on dual-core processors and more for quad and i7 platforms [03:27] jigp: well, I'm not familiar with dreamweaver, but you can easily open a terminal and type: cat file.php [03:27] <_VIM_> Fujisan: you mean ubottu ? no... ubottu is a python bot made for IRC it's called Supybot. [03:27] niku: i've had to do a custom kernel for an older laptop every release of ubuntu, to get the mouse to work properly, and with 8.04 to get the machine to boot at all [03:27] Xaero1: personaly preference, they both have ther +s and -s, I use the device name [03:28] ok _VIM_ [03:28] thanks [03:28] <_VIM_> np [03:28] hi guys, when we format using vfat, why it runs so fast? as if it's not formatting at all, is it normal? [03:28] so it's not possible to pipe messages from python to aim? [03:28] Xaero1: UUIDs can change when moving ports that the drive is plugged in to, device names can change when adding additional devices [03:28] ok, I guess maybe it does have some validity [03:28] <_VIM_> Fujisan: never say not possible... [03:28] tine more minutes of this kind of crap and I'm deleting this distro and going Linux from Scratch [03:28] <_VIM_> just difficult :) [03:29] ari_stress: it's kind of like choosing NTFS (quick) or FAT32 (quick) during a WinXP install [03:29] VoodooDance: Linux from Scrath..... Gentoo ftw [03:29] Xaero1: Is it a kernel problem more than a F@H problem? (Still single core here, so I guess no problem for me) [03:29] Fujisan: aim as in aol instant messenger? have you tried looking at chimmy's aim client? [03:29] hey anyone know what's up with intrepid asking for wpa password over and over? (broadcom).. [03:29] More detail: http://pastebin.com/d1b33beb http://pastebin.com/d7bb08c1b http://pastebin.com/d63093dd3 - these are iwconfig, ifconfig and lsmod | grep iwl [03:29] Frank23: Its an ubuntu-specific problem more than a kernel problem, and its a kernel problem more than it is a F@H problem [03:29] nope i havent genewitch i have been using pidgin and kopete [03:29] Gentoo's code base is managed by 12 year old monkies [03:29] Fujisan: are you trying to make a bot? [03:29] Xaero1: I see [03:30] no trying to use the ubotto bot through aim [03:30] Frank23: other people running other distros with the same kernel have not run into the same performance drop, although it is still noticeably lower than older kernels [03:30] Fujisan: bots usually don't run in a graphical environment [03:30] is it possible to forward ubottos messages from irc in PM to aim? [03:30] <_VIM_> Fujisan: ask in #ubuntu-bots [03:30] VoodooDance: please list the methods that you tried to install you nvidia driver [03:31] ok ty [03:31] Titan8990, envyng, and the binary from NVIDIA. [03:31] <[biabia]> please any help installing iptables modules ip_nat_ftp and ip_conntrack_ftp ? [03:31] X-tremAl_Raven: nicely done. :) what is the result of this command: iwlist wlan0 scan [03:31] No, I didn't try to compile linux-wireless drivers. Believed that "native" Ubuntu modules should be fine. [03:31] Titan8990, Oh and jockey-gtk 30 minutes ago [03:31] X-tremAl_Raven: (you may need to run it a few times) [03:31] <_VIM_> Fujisan: you wanna talk to jussi01 if he's around... [03:31] VoodooDance: you need run the nvidia script with --uninstall [03:32] I did that once, but I will do it again. [03:32] wlan0 No scan results [03:32] hi all [03:32] Tried 20 times :) [03:32] frank23: for example my i7 system is only getting 1800 PPD, where as other people's i7 systems with similar/lower specs are getting upwards of 7k PPD [03:32] X-tremAl_Raven: could you paste the output of the dmesg command? [03:32] X-tremAl_Raven: *pastebin [03:32] Titan8990, uninstall runs successfuly stating "There is no NVIDIA driver installed" [03:32] hey anyone know what's up with intrepid asking for wpa password over and over? (broadcom).. [03:33] nellmathew: tried saving it? [03:33] VoodooDance: and the envy uninstaller again [03:33] http://pastebin.com/d5ae67bbf [03:33] gnea: yeah.. it's saved, i used fwcutter, it's connecting (first dot turns green) but then prompts again.. i saved the correct password [03:34] my sounds screwd but on a + side my cam works yea lol [03:34] Khello again [03:34] Titan8990, "attempting to remove the packages" [03:35] X-tremAl_Raven: hrmmmmm, that is not a good message.... checking [03:35] gnea: OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! after 3 weeks it finally works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all i had to do was disable wireless and renable this WHOLE TIME! [03:35] nellmathew: cheers :) [03:35] I'm having another problem, videos run fine in different apps but when I fullscreen them alot of frames skip, they're not HD or anything, normal small and crappy vids do that too (within diferent apps) and my nVidia 8400m GS is badass, any suggestions [03:35] Xaero1: I see [03:36] Fortex: what drivers are you using? ubuntu's or nvidia's [03:36] Hello trying to tweak a Motion Computing LE1600 to get it to work. How does one make an on-screen keyboard show up during login, how do I get it's buttons to be recognized and do something? [03:36] VoodooDance: is it hanging there? [03:36] Titan8990, lots of log msgs but it appears to have completed. [03:36] genewitch: This is the part where I'll go like no idea. [03:36] VoodooDance: now uninstall from jockey-gtk and reboot [03:37] Fortex: go to nvidia.com, grab the linux drivers for your card, follow the directions. [03:37] X-tremAl_Raven: okay, what is the output of this command: lshw -C network [03:37] Hokay, sounds good. [03:37] thanks. [03:37] Fortex: there's a part where you have to close xwindows, you do that by saving your work, closing all windows, pressing ctrl-alt-backspace, and [03:37] Fortex: selecting "failsafe terminal" as your session [03:37] then run the nvidia.sh script that you downloaded from nvidia. [03:37] ok i have a delema, ive already looked online for it, but arch isnt seeing the rackmount unit of harddrives (the controller is LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c875) [03:38] Titan8990, the box in jockey-gtk is unchecked [03:38] http://pastebin.com/d426a9219 [03:38] Fortex: by typing chmod +x NVI; then ./NVIDI [03:38] Fortex: make sense? [03:38] i want to install a partition to the rack row, but i cant because it cant see it in cfdisk [03:38] genewitch: will probably will once I find the driver. [03:39] VoodooDance: alright, reboot, then attempt to install via jockey-gtk again [03:39] Fortex: ok, well highlight me if you have an issue. [03:39] VoodooDance: make a backup of your current xorg before you do so you can just restore it if it doesn't work [03:39] genewitch: Gracias [03:39] X-tremAl_Raven: okay - these may seem like really odd questions, but please bare with me. :) is this a laptop? if so, is there an on/off switch for the wireless device on it somewhere? [03:40] X-tremAl_Raven: the reason I ask: *-network DISABLED [03:40] X-tremAl_Raven: which wireless card did you have again, I may have had the same one? [03:41] Titan8990, ok... I'm back into the GUI. [03:41] VoodooDance: try jockey-gtk again now [03:41] someone i need help...I just attempted to install new nvida drivers and now when i restart its just a big black screen. I can control alt f1 and get to a command prompt though....what next? [03:41] tdawgedogg: you installed the ubuntu-packaged drivers? [03:42] a lot of people with nvidia driver problems tonight.... [03:42] urg, it seems all variants of linux abhore video drivers, came here for the same thing [03:42] Titan8990, restarting [03:42] i went to nvida.com download the x86_64 drivers [03:42] then ran the .run file [03:42] in the new xorg config setup, how do I manually set screen resolutions [03:42] tdawgedogg: you need to run that again but with --uninstall [03:42] tdawgedogg: it sounds like you have a bad xorg.conf try running sudo nvidia-xconfig and going through the options [03:42] genewitch, i got a problem got a few to help me or no ? [03:42] if not its ok [03:42] !nvidia | tdawgedogg [03:42] tdawgedogg: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:42] it said i did everything right...i thin there is problems with the config file [03:42] hi [03:43] tdawgedogg: we don't support nvidia downloads.

I'm trying to install Ubuntu (any 8.04 or 8.10 {32 and 64}) on a computer that I have just build, but it hangs at " loading, please wait" after rebooting from another OS and choose "install" . I have been waiting for as long as 30 minuts and nothing else happens. Any ideas. Thanks. [03:45] Titan8990, ok... the driver version is 169.12, which is less than the 173 that was installed and not the 180.22 I'd like to install :D [03:45] ooof, i am beginning to have an unflattering opinion of the fedora community [03:45] joshjtl: how come? [03:45] I know. It worked in 7.04 with some manipulations (i.e. not otb), and stopped working since 8.04. [03:45] X-tremAl_Raven: what kernel? uname -r [03:45] so how do i install the 180.22 nvidia drivers..I need them for gnome-do [03:46] VoodooDance: all 2.6.xx kernels have support for that card [03:46] 2.6.27-11-generic [03:46] Rodolfo: does it work when you choose "boot livecd" instead of install?

[03:48] ok guess not no worries im off thanks anyway genewitch [03:48] tritium, tried that but it says it couldn't find the package [03:48] Rodolfo: hrm... well, could be anything really... you can try an alternate boot cd, see if that works out better for you. [03:48] VoodooDance: you have to enable restricted repositories if the bot is to believed [03:48] i ran the .run file again...but i cant uninstall....how do i get back into x so i can download via symnatic [03:48] does anyone know alot about the grub bootloader? [03:48] ok, that worked well (NOT). my new ubuntu install never wakes up from sleep [03:48] i think i broke mine [03:48] when i press sleep it shows a blinking _ and will never return [03:48] fuzzeh: what do you need help with? [03:48] wow [03:48] actually im pretty sure [03:49] !grub | fuzzeh [03:49] fuzzeh: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:49] Hey guys - I got a question [03:49] nanotube thanks! [03:49] X-tremAl_Raven: can you sudo rmmod iwl3945 && sudo modprobe iwl3945 debug=0x43fff , try again and repeat the dmesg pastebin? [03:49] Titan8990, I have no idea how to enable restricted repositories [03:49] ya ive been to those sites [03:49] Rodolfo: hope that helps.. good luck :) [03:49] VoodooDance: uncomment it in /etc/apt/sources.list or uses the software sources GUI [03:49] VoodooDance: as you can see above, it's in the restricted component. Make sure you've enabled it. Are you running intrepid? [03:50] can anyone tell me how to add a program to the open with options [03:50] If I type "emacs driver.c &" where driver.c is a c file, shouldn't emacs open in a new terminal window? [03:50] http://pastebin.com/d53de44ac [03:50] tritium, hardy [03:50] Ryou: you should see the emacs IRC [03:50] Hey guys, i have another quick question about sound in ubuntu [03:50] k [03:51] VoodooDance: I believe 180 is only in the intrepid repo [03:51] is there a tv tuner/video capture software for Ubuntu? [03:51] hello, I am trying to change the mode my wireless device is operating under, but i get "Device or resource busy". I've tried doing this in recovery mode, but the settings just reset. the command I am using is `iwconfig wlan0 mode managed` [03:51] razaccour: yes, a few: tvtime, zapping, xawtv [03:51] the one I have requires direct x, and i really don't wanna install microshit [03:51] razaccour: mythtv [03:51] thanks [03:51] Everything is working great, except for if i turn up PCM under the sound settings, it produces a really loud hum noise, whats up with that? [03:51] which is the best? [03:51] razaccour: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:51] is it possible to upgrade to intrepid? [03:51] razaccour: experiment :) [03:51] VoodooDance: of course [03:51] Hi [03:51] !upgrade | VoodooDance [03:51] VoodooDance: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [03:52] X-tremAl_Raven: try to scan again [03:52] VoodooDance: yes, but there are many who run in to issues, fresh installation is the recommended method [03:52] Already did. Nothing. [03:52] does Ubuntu 8.10 support tablet pc's? [03:52] X-tremAl_Raven: anything different in dmesg? [03:52] lwizardl: yes [03:52] VoodooDance: everyday there are new "upgrading to intrepid broke my crap" posts on the forums [03:52] lwizardl: note that some configuration/tweaking is required [03:52] VoodooDance: I personally didn't have any problems [03:52] sweet I just bought one and plan to install Ubuntu on it [03:52] nanotube thanks again. But in a quick watch to all those differents kinds of intall methods, that one looks complicated. Do you think maybe it could cause my CPU is not recognized by the kernel? [03:52] i have problem install vmware 6.0.5 in ubuntu 8.10 it says some unable to compile some modules for this kernel [03:52] lwizard1 - a friend of mine had some issues w/ 8.10 on a lenovo tablet, whereas 7.10 worked out of box [03:52] what to do [03:52] No. The same iwl3945: Wait for START_ALIVE timeout after 2000ms. [03:53] X-tremAl_Raven: o.O that's new... [03:53] damnit can i boot into safe mode or something...im still stuck in command prompt [03:53] Rodolfo: unless you have something really exotic, that wouldn't be the problem... [03:53] tdawgedogg: the command prompt is "safe mode" [03:53] when i tried to play my dvd it says i don't have the codec so it give me an option to download some gstreamer codec package and i install it then it say error read when i try to play it, maybe i need the regionset package to initially set the drive's region? [03:53] < tdawgedog> damnit can i boot into safe mode or something...im still stuck in command prompt [03:53] Oh, wait. It's not caused by scan [03:53] titan8990: can i pm you? [03:53] sorry, wrong [03:53] tdawgedogg: sure [03:53] I am about to install ubuntu on 10 PCs. I have one PC perfectly configured with all the proper apps installed, keyboard shortcuts set, compiz configured, updates installed, power settings chosen, etc... How can I save this state and deploy it to all 10 machines given that they all have differing hardware? [03:53] sorry [03:54] my windows box can see my samba shares ... but my other ubuntu box can not ... why this is? [03:54] baz, how big is the hdd? [03:54] Aayush: well, first, unless you are really tied to vmware for some reason, try virtualbox instead. [03:54] niku, tritium, ok i'll keep that in mind this is a Toshiba Protege [03:54] baz: with initrd, different hardware is not much of an issue [03:54] nanotube haha no, I dont think it is a really exoctic one. it's a Phenom II [03:54] baz, is it the same size? [03:54] usser, the hard drives will all be big enough (min 180gb) but of differing sizes and one will even have RAID [03:55] X-tremAl_Raven: check this out and give it a whirl: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/248321 [03:55] Titan8990, so should a straight HD image do the trick? [03:55] Rodolfo: should be ok... could be anything else though. if you built your own comp, often poor memory seating causes problems. did you run the memtest? [03:55] Rodolfo: or just bad chips, too [03:55] baz, you can you use dd but it'll take quite a while, partimage is a great choice, not sure how it'll work with raid though [03:55] Seems like I should compile iwl3945. But this driver is already in the system. [03:55] baz: yes, if the partition sizes are to be the same [03:55] !samba [03:55] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [03:56] baz: dd, partimage, clonezilla, take your pick [03:56] hi.anyone knows how to adjust partition space in ubuntu? [03:56] thanks [03:56] how to minimize evolution to system tray [03:56] tvtime seems to be pretty good [03:56] nanotube I'm afraid that the second choice could be the one (foxconn A7DA S)... maybe that... ok I'll see [03:56] Titan8990, usser, so the only limitation is that all physical partitions have to be the same [03:56] however i have not installed ubuntu-restricted-extras yet which i will try now [03:56] mib: gparted [03:56] mib, cfdisk works [03:57] tritium: i did try gparted [03:57] Titan8990, usser, I could maybe live with that - perhaps just a different /home if possible [03:57] let me paste a snapshot here [03:57] mib: that's the most commonly used [03:57] ok, i've tried various BIOS settings for standby. in all cases unbutu crashes and wont recover without full power cycle if i try to suspend/sleep [03:57] help? [03:57] Does anyone know why raising the PCM under my speaker settings produces a very loud high pitched buzz? [03:57] Rodolfo: the boot cd also has a memory test option - so try running that. might take a while, but it's worth it to run that on a freshly built com. [03:57] how to minimize evolution to system tray [03:57] Rodolfo: *comp [03:58] baz: that might be a bit more difficult [03:58] http://imageshack.us/img/butansn.png [03:58] baz, not really size doesnt matter, only that the the partition that you have currently setup on the image has to fit on the smallest hdd on all the clones, ie master hdd should be smaller than that of the clone [03:58] Titan8990, I should be fine with the upgrade... I haven't really done anything with the distro that didn't use the package manager [03:58] this is my current snapshot of my harddisk.i have sda4 which is my current working spce. And another 68GB of unallocated space [03:59] i wanted to trasnfer some of the 68GB of unallocated to my sda4. But there seems no easy way out [03:59] I'm making a custom folder icon in inkscape but I'm not able to save it. it says "file could not be saved". anyone know what could be the problem? [03:59] VoodooDance: just be careful about what config files you tell it to keep [03:59] mib: , you cant send partition space to anothe drive [03:59] VoodooDance: that is often what give people grief [03:59] nanotube ok looks like I should try that... even if same rig have W7 beta running on it without any problems...maybe linux kernel is as much picky like that!! I will try the mem test though!! [03:59] Code::Blocks vs Anjuta... just trying to decide, any advice? [04:00] mib next time use lvm2 [04:00] anyone that I am currently helping: I have to go afk for 15min [04:00] because the current sda4 space is limited which is 20GB and only left few GB..i plan to find ways to absorb some unalocated space to there [04:00] Rodolfo: ok, give that a shot, and see what it reports. :) could be all good, you know... no guarantees that that's the problem. [04:00] any thing i could do currently to do that [04:00] why won't the ubuntu installation detect my harddrives on my eeePC [04:01] nanotube cool!! [04:01] mib what do you need the new space for? system files or storage? [04:01] storage [04:01] dangit...googling tells me that suspend/sleep is really lame in Ubuntu. is this true? [04:01] because i really assumed it'd be ok. it's a dealbreaker for me if it can't work [04:01] my main current space is 20GB (sda4) which contain the bin...etc.. [04:01] hi guys i am trying to install ubuntu server edition - it says it can't find a network interface and i may need to specify a module, but there it no place to specify a module? how can i do it? [04:01] Rodolfo: good luck :) [04:01] why not just format then mount it as extra storage? 0_o [04:02] suspend/sleep is often enough broken in any OS, unfortunately :( [04:02] ah? [04:02] mib:, just mount that drive and make a link to it in your home folder [04:02] usser, thats perfect, will more than comfortably fit on the smallest HD. My aim is to have the "/" partition be 25gb (4-5gb used) and the rest /home. Would the tools Titan8990 mentioned earlier (dd, partimage, clonezilla) be the first place to start? [04:02] moutn which dirve? the unaalocated space? [04:02] mib: yeah [04:02] mount as a new drive arghh2d2? [04:03] cr_tmn [04:03] means i will have 20GB as one drive (sda4) and another 68GB as another drive [04:03] mib: well format it first if you havent already [04:03] /quit [04:03] and dont forget to add it to fstab [04:03] [04:03] tty01: adding it to fstab is easy [04:03] is that formatting them using gparted? [04:03] errr tty01 that was for mib [04:03] if he doesnt know how to format/mount what makes you think its easy for him? [04:04] mib: adding it to fstab is easy [04:04] ah [04:04] blur. [04:04] mib: yeah, gparted [04:04] or qparted [04:04] whats the off-topic room? [04:04] baz, dd would probably be simplest, it copies byte by byte, but can be a pain to clone, you have to go around with master hdd and hook it up to each of the slaves, or you can make an image and dd it through nfs or samba(you'll have to boot clones into livecds) [04:04] arghh..you mean create new partition from the 80GB? [04:04] four8d [04:05] mib: yes [04:05] ah I figured it out, it's because the folder I want to save it in says I don't have permission. how do I bring up the login so I can make the folder see I'm the owner? [04:05] mib: sudo fdisk -l and paste that into pastebin then provide the link....ill type it out for ya [04:05] resise make a new filesystem, ext3, or whatever you choose [04:05] but argghh, that would create a separate drive instead of transferring some space to the existing sda4 [04:05] does the ubuntu-restricted-extras have libdvdread3 in it? [04:05] hello? [04:06] baz, partimage has extensive network support, and is faster since it doesnt copy empty space on the hdd, but can be a little tricky to learn/use [04:06] mib: thats what i dont understand...you CANNOT put free space from one drive to another drive, it's not a virtual filesystem [04:06] or whatever, maybe i just dont understand you well enough mib [04:07] ok [04:07] however.. [04:07] zfs ftw [04:07] you can easily store files on any drive and/or partition, mib [04:07] hey, I'm trying to mount a brand new 4g USB key from microcenter. I put it in my mac and dropped a 700meg file on it. I just put in in my ubuntu machine and I can see it in dmegs, but its doesn't auto mount [04:07] anyone help? [04:08] id see if it mounts manually [04:08] logical volume you can! [04:08] tty01: is that whats up? i did not know that [04:09] i just put my /home folder on a seperat drive or partition and be happy [04:09] So I compiled the kernel and put it in grub, but it panics on me complaining about not being able to mount root?? anybody got any ideas? [04:09] yessir! i have 3 seperate 500GB as one [04:09] i need some help. i'm trying to compile approx, for use in caching ubuntu packages. my insanity shows when i say I'm compiling it on a non-debian-based distro. but I've ironed out all but the final few bugs in compiling it. [04:09] Can anyone explain what PCM is in the volume mixer? === brettley_ is now known as brettley [04:10] why is there .cmxa file in the syslog-ocaml package? [04:10] usser, clonezilla looks sweet [04:10] ok just installed ubuntu_restricted-extras and i try to play my dvd with totem and totem just closes? [04:10] s/is there/is there NOT a / [04:10] usser, "can clone up to 40 computers simultaneously" [04:10] ok, if I think I have it set up to run metacity, but I suspect compiz has taken over again, how can I tell for sure? [04:11] * BlinkyToon has enough trouble with just TWO ! [04:12] baz, it all depends on your network connection, sure you can clone 40 comps, but its gonna be mad slow, im judging from my experience with ghost, a 40gb partition clones in about 40 minutes over 100mbps with about 20 computers going, 25 with 2 [04:12] anyone know of a decent iPod transfer application. I'm drawing blanks here. I've already tried gtkpod and hipo [04:12] is thee anyone aware of this? [04:12] gpodder is cool for podcasts but that's all it's capable of [04:12] hi, Is it possible to name the different desk [04:12] I ran this command a few days ago to turn on VNC: 'x11vnc -forever -usepw -httpdir /usr/share/vnc-java/ -httpport 5800'. Now I'm wondering how I can turn it off [04:12] always the option to install free firmware on your ippod :) [04:13] Frijolie, you could try winamp via WINE [04:13] b3z3rk3r, yeah thanks, I was counting out WINE...if I do that I may as well just use iTunes [04:13] Mike9022, killall -9 x11vnc [04:13] usser, thats pretty good [04:14] same with vlc [04:14] Frijolie, Nooo.. dont go to the dark side! I know they have cookies, but we do good muffins? [04:14] << this guy might just be retarded [04:14] b3z3rk3r, yeah I"m here to find the muffin(s) [04:14] Frijolie, try something like Amarok or Rythmbox [04:14] b3z3rk3r, i've only found burnt old brownies so far [04:14] Is flaming one's self prohibited? [04:14] Frijolie: have you tried gtkpod ? [04:15] Frijolie, aww.. im sorry, il try make some fresh ones next time you are on [04:15] b3z3rk3r, tried Rhythmbox only drag-n-drop works...too much hassle [04:15] rythmbox is good for ipods [04:15] drash, yes gtkpod is the worst [04:15] almost identical to itunes [04:15] ' [04:15] help, may i know what key to view 3d desktop after i set up it in comfiz [04:15] help, may i know what key to view 3d desktop after i set up it in comfiz? [04:15] Frijolie, what exactly are you looking to do with it? [04:15] Frijolie: odd, works great here [04:15] gtkpod has one good feature, reencoding on-the-fly [04:15] gtkpod does its job, rythmbox is much smoother [04:16] How can I check if jumbo frames is enabled on my card? [04:16] most of my music library is .flac gtkpod converted it to .mp3 for transfer [04:16] kreino, do you have the CCSM instaled from thr Repos? [04:16] gktpod's UI wasn't very intuitive and it corrupted my filesystem on the iPod [04:16] yes, i already installed it in my ubuntu [04:16] would transfer duplicate files, wouldn't preserve id3 tags [04:16] plus there's an older version in the repos [04:16] baz, i got my numbers wrong 25gb image sorry [04:17] kreino, then you just need to enable 4 workspaces and you are all set. unless you have sone that already? [04:17] hey all I have a question. I really like that when ubuntu detects removable media it auto mounts it and makes the launcher on the desktop..... how do i make it make those launchers on the right hand side so they dont just get stuck with my regualr icons [04:17] Frijolie: rythmbox corrupted my ipod a few times too, it's annoying but real mp3 players should be drag and drop to begin with. [04:17] does anyone know how to change your default display manager without removing kdm or gdm ? [04:17] what that 4 workplace [04:18] Bikeguy: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm (or kdm, if you prefer. same effect) [04:18] b3z3rk3r, they also have an older version of Amarok in the repos [04:18] b3z3rk3r, not even 2.0 [04:18] How would I go about adding more desktops if i have removed the bottom panel with the desktop wall image on it? [04:18] thanks tritium [04:18] Frijolie, you could always dual boot, or even put custom firmware on your pod if you are unhappy with the other solutions? [04:18] drash, maybe I'm just having bad luck? [04:18] what that 4 workplace, b3z3rk3r [04:18] impreziv: re-add the applet [04:18] kreino, PM me and il explain for you [04:18] amarok 2 is no good for ipod syncing support for audio devices is not present in it as of yet [04:18] well i can't get either totem or vlc to play my dvd i installed libdvdread3 gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly ubuntu-restricted-extras and ran install-css.sh [04:18] impreziv: right click applet, add applet [04:19] b3z3rk3r, i do have XP in a VM...i thought about going that route. I'd just prefer to stay native to my host OS [04:19] right click panel, add applet [04:19] b3z3rk3r, if at all possible [04:19] amarok sucks [04:19] b3z3rk3r, I have also contemplated going RockBox [04:19] Frijolie, sure, thats understandable. What ipod do you have, and what version is the software? i have a 6th Gen and its just fine with both Amarok and Rythmbox [04:19] anyone here actually rent dedicated servers? [04:20] * linux_guy orders one of those Ubuntu stress balls with rush delivery [04:20] b3z3rk3r, I have an older 40GB 4G Grayscale iPod classic [04:20] Thank you guys [04:20] Frijolie: dunno, depends on your specific iPod model perhaps, and setting up gtkpod's preferences [04:20] anybody know how to make metacity permanently replace compiz? [04:20] Frijolie: hell, you could probly just put linux on that puppy [04:21] in totem i select play dvd and it immediately closes vlc doesn't seem to do anything after i say play [04:21] is there some logs i can look at? [04:21] drash, that was my main complaint about gtkpod it's user interface wasn't very intuitive for me === christiekoehler| is now known as christiekoehler [04:21] jedi06, do you have libdvdcss2? [04:21] arghh2d2, puppy linux! [04:21] not that puppy [04:21] usser how do i check but i think so [04:21] that puppy meaning his old ipod [04:21] arghh2d2, I do like the UI of the iPod though. iPod Linux right? [04:21] jedi06, dpkg -l | grep css2 [04:21] arghh2d2, I haven't checked that one out yet [04:21] does the microsft Zune player work out of the box with intrepid? [04:22] Frijolie: yeah, ipodlinux.com [04:22] alienseer23, thats just wrong man [04:22] lol [04:22] err ipodlinux.org [04:22] yes i do 1.2.10-0.2medibuntu1 [04:22] linux_guy: haha [04:22] usser yes i do [04:22] arghh2d2, I'll check that out [04:22] Frijolie, have you tried the forums on this one? It sounds to me like a specific prob with that model [04:22] linux_guy: it's for a friend...trying to convert ... and I agree, it is wrong [04:23] it was in the ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:23] but does it work? [04:23] Frijolie, as most of the ipod issues have been worked out now, they were bad a few years ago [04:23] b3z3rk3r, well that's the problem...there's WAY too much info on iPods on the forums [04:23] b3z3rk3r, I used to use Rhythmbox until a week ago. Rhythmbox seems to be a dead project [04:23] jedi06: it's in the medibuntu repository for legal reasons [04:23] they're not updating it frequently at all [04:23] jedi06, something like that ii libdvdcss2 1.2.10-0.2medibuntu1 [04:23] so now I'm trying Songbird and that wont even recognize my iPod [04:24] the only app that won't recoginze it [04:24] yes usser it is there [04:24] jedi06, libdvdread3? [04:24] yes it is [04:24] Frijolie: did you try rhythmbox? [04:24] yes it is usser i installed it [04:24] arghh2d2, yeah that was my first attempt [04:25] <[T]ank> my laptop mic seems to be working. When i crank it up all the way in alsamixer, I can hear my typing and other noises amplified back out the speakers. However... I cannot get ANY applications to use it. I am testing with the sound recorder app in the application menu as well as a few other programs like zoiper (softphone). any ideas? [04:25] jedi06, hm, should work, try running vlc from the terminal and playing dvd see what errors it gives you [04:25] how so [04:25] well if rhythmbox didnt work then you might have other issues [04:25] anybody know the permanent version of metacity --replace? seems that only persists until reboot :/ [04:25] primarily I use my iPod for podcasts and then music second. Drag-n-drop was awfully messy not much automation [04:25] hotplugging or something [04:26] where does the dvd mount to? [04:26] gtkpod allowed for more automation but then wound up corrupting library and would transfer duplicate songs [04:26] argh, can anybody help me with suspend? i'm having a hard time even following tutorials on s2ram/s2both/s2disk [04:26] Frijolie, cant find anything on your issue on the forums, and i honestly have no idea how to progress now either. Do anyone else know anything about this? [04:26] jedi06, /media/cdrom or /media/dvd === crunchbang_ is now known as Fajii [04:26] cdrom [04:27] <[T]ank> anyone able to help me with that laptop mic question above? [04:27] b3z3rk3r, i know, that's why I came here hoping to have someone with experience. Thanks for trying though [04:27] how do i get vlc to play it in terminal [04:27] [T]ank, could it be that you've got it set up for playback, but not recording? [04:27] jedi06, just open the terminal and type vlc [04:27] one other question while on the iPod topic... [04:27] Frijolie: honestly, if i had one of the old ipods, i would at least try ipodlinux, if it doesnt work you can just reload the firmware with itunes, if it does work you'll have a kick ass drag and drop mp3 player [04:28] what about vlc /media/cdrom [04:28] now that I've uninstalled gtkpod and rhythmbox i do not have a player associated or set as default player for music [04:28] Frijolie, had issues with mine a few years back, but its all been fixed now [04:28] <[T]ank> xonpathos: what do you mean?

[04:30] [T]ank, in the Volume properties -> Preferences, make sure you're showing the Capture [04:30] jedi06, did you try a different disk, maybe the problem is a faulty disk [04:30] bbzez: your not the only person experiencing that, it looks like their site might be under attack or have been exploited in some way... in the meantime for your non gnome (emerald and the like) kde-look.org should have the majority of the same stuff [04:30] [T]ank and then make sure that the mic isn't showing as muted [04:30] except that kde-look.org does the same exact thing [04:30] odd [04:30] i think it is the region [04:30] [T]ank it'll be on the Recording tab [04:30] <[T]ank> xonpathos: that I have done [04:30] kde-look.org also redirects [04:31] <[T]ank> its all showing like i would expect it should [04:31] [T]ank then you set the program to use Capture? and turned the volume up?

[04:37] The video in cheese is weird colours [04:37] solexious, the command you are looking for goes as follows, ifconfig mtu mtuSize where mtuSize is the number you would like to set it to [04:38] Sylphid: When I try to use irssi under my regular account, I encounter this error while /server irc.freenode.net'ing: 20:37 -!- Irssi: Unable to connect server irc.freenode.net port 6667 [Cannot assign requested address: 208.113.233.166] [04:38] is there a quick command/method for finding the UUID of one's swap partition? [04:38] drash, yeah, I think that will do it. I can say that I've never even looked at the preferences in Nautilus [04:38] Sylphid: any idea on how I can get that working? [04:38] i have installed libflash-mozplugin, but youtube still telling me i don't have flash installed? [04:38] drash, I did try right-clicking on the media and removed everything from the "open with" [04:38] I need some guidance on how to download and install a program.

[04:39] Light-: i have to restart ff too much with that one [04:39] nathanhelp, sudo apt-get install pidgin [04:39] rdancer, or go grab flash 10 from adobes website, they have a linux version [04:39] nathanhelp: pidgin is available for 8.10, in fact, it should already be installed. [04:39] Teutonic, thank you, tired it but it appears my card doesnt support bgger than 9000 [04:39] nathanhelp, from a terminal [04:39] linux_guy, get a life [04:39] root, 1 sec ... got an idea [04:39] so vlc uses qt and it says APainter::begin Paint device returned engine ==0, type: 1 [04:39] Is there any kind of guide anywhere for setting up SFTP?

[04:41] Frijolie: Thanks. But im thinking if they arent in the repos, that wont work. [04:41] kl [04:41] kylefox: the same way you add a regular user to the system, adduser is the easiest way. [04:41] drash, XFCE is too mac'ish for me imho [04:41] Sylphid, installed 8.10 on it (199mb ram) it runs 75% cpu and 75% memory at idle lol [04:41] Frijolie, & Flannel: i guess what im asking is more this... teach me how to work with source files so i can learn how to do it myself. are you able to do that with me? [04:41] nathanhelp, yeah I saw after I typed that you're looking for the most up-to-date [04:42] does anyone know what Error 21 at Grub Loading means? [04:42] !highno | nathanhelp [04:42] nathanhelp: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos. [04:42] nathanhelp, if you install by source it won't auto update in the future [04:42] Hello, I am trying to get Logitech Quickcam For Notebooks working on Hardy. lsusb lists as ID 046d:08dd Logitech, Inc.

Since I communicate with MSN clients lots, i would like to upgrade from 2.5.2 to 2.5.4. And the 2.5.4 is not in the repos yet, (I assume since updater doesnt register the 2.5.4 version). Can you recommend a course of action for me? [04:49] in vlc can you change the font of subtitles? cuas that looks horrible [04:49] nathanhelp: I believe pidgin runs their own repo [04:49] nathanhelp, get your "buddies" to install pidgin! it's cross platform [04:49] all you have to do is add it to your apt list [04:49] is it just not worth using ubuntu on a laptop because you freaking can't sleep...? === kevin_ is now known as uvacav [04:49] this is rediculous [04:49] Sylphid, i would much rather install from iso or usb next time, i think its a 1.2x cdrom [04:49] Frijolie: I'm talking about me...upgrading to the latest version...using a source file.

[04:50] nsgn, what laptop are you using? [04:51] nathanhelp, compiling from source can be opening a can-o-worms sometimes [04:51] nathanhelp, what they call "dependency hell"..i'm hesitant to recommend that [04:51] on ubuntu [04:51] nathanhelp: download pidgin debs from getdeb.net, that has 2.5.4 i believe === rj_x|away is now known as rj_x [04:52] i'm having a problem with my ubuntu+screen+irssi character encoding, in ubuntu+screen it's turning a little dot in the center of the line into a block.. without screen it works great, but inside of screen it's all messed up [04:52] Can anyone assist with a GRUB problem on a software RAID? I get file not found, after reinstall it just gives me the grub prompts [04:52] drash: I have been specifically *strongly* encourage to not use getdeb.net [04:52] Teutonic: i'm actually on an intel 945GC chipset desktop. just seems the issue of such broadly lacking support for this would be even worse for a laptop user. i, however, installed ubuntu on here specifically because i was hoping it'd support suspend better than the hackintosh osx install i had on it. if i cant get suspend, i'm gonna have to dumb ubuntu [04:52] wb bazhang [04:53] nsgn, let me look really fast [04:53] Teutonic: thank you very much. i really am loving ubuntu...but this machine can't run 24/7. i need it to suspend [04:53] Hi. I know this is not the place but I cannot connect to #java. Could anyone help me quickly w/ one line of code? [04:53] nathanhelp: perhaps that advice was referring to setting getdeb.net as a repository, installing a .deb file doesn't hurt dpkg imho [04:53] questions___: yes, use a better language ;) [04:54] questions___: i got in [04:54] questions___: Try #ubuntu-offtopic [04:54] Teutonic: running 8.10, have s2both installed (it fails just like built in suspend does), and have tried under AHCI S1 and S3. all just shut down computer cold when activated [04:54] questions___: if you are registered on freenode, you can PM me with the question, I can maybe help [04:54] nsgn: take it up with Linus [04:54] questions___: maybe #java klined your isp [04:54] freq18hz: ?

[05:04] deadbattery: could tarball it anf sftp/scp it. if you want to use ssh then you can do something like 'tar c dir/|ssh user@host tar xv' perhaps [05:04] linux_guy, here we go... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB [05:04] mv /first folder/ /second folder/ [05:04] path syntax can vary ever so slightly between OSes [05:04] but its right along those lines [05:04] might need to throw -r if there are subfolders [05:04] hi guys new with linux [05:04] deadbattery, if you use the cp command on a folder make sure you use -r for the recursive function. [05:05] nsgn: odd...you might want to make sure the kernel supports your acpi setup....but truthfully there are just a ton of bugs in that area, very hard to troubleshoot because you cant tail logs, or get any feedback, because once the machine tries to sleep, or thinks it is, nothing is written etc [05:05] nm nsgn got it :) [05:05] thanx it worked [05:05] nsgn: are you running the latest 8.10, with updates including the new kernal that came out last week?

[05:10] nsgn: yeah make sure that what you have set in the GUI, corresponds to any relevent .conf files, or the scripts in /etc/acpi [05:10] !vista [05:10] vista is a recent version of Microsoft Windows. Discussion on Windows related topics is available in ##windows. General issues on moving from Windows to Ubuntu is convered in the wiki guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows [05:10] nsgn: basically rule out that even though you have your gui set to suspend when you suspend, that maybe something isn't actually set, so it just shuts off instead etc [05:10] how do i connect from a remote machine to this X session, using vnc? [05:10] i made that happen [05:10] ;P [05:11] freq18hz: i'm not sure what to check. i'm pretty new to linux overall [05:11] ?msg nickerv identify hahaPawn3d [05:11] nsgn, best of luck to you on that one. I'm out [05:11] Teutonic: thanks [05:11] kochii: lol [05:12] kochii: nice [05:12] hack! hack! [05:12] hahaPawn3d, indeed [05:12] lol...i always wonder of a typo on a main channel [05:12] hey kinja-sheep, another thing: has your computer ever totally freezed and stayed with blinking [CAPS LOCK] and [SCROLL LOCK] ?? [05:13] * Gnea wonders why people call it 'pawn', when 'pwn' is short for 'own' or 'pown' [05:13] nsgn: Blogger Linus said... [05:13] LimbClock: it's too late to hit the 2.6.28 release (the fix is fairly small, but very invasive), so it will go in early in the 2.6.29 merge window. [05:14] nsgn: youd want to look at /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog [05:14] can anyone help me with a boot error. its something to do with the onboard intel graphics unit on my mobo [05:14] nsgn: and make sure that any gnome power management settings, are actually set in the corresponding .conf files, and make sure the scripts in /etc/acpi/ like suspend.sh look good [05:15] nsgn: otherwise wait for the kernel fix [05:15] nsgn: or use different hardware. Which laptop are you using anyway? [05:15] freq18hz: i'm actually on a desktop. intel 945GC chipset [05:15] was just amazed it doesnt work for the sake of laptop users [05:15] to whom this would pain more than me [05:17] is my CMOS setup the same thing as BIOS setup? [05:17] ben44b, most likely they're just terms for the same thing [05:18] nsgn:ah well...yeah it works fine on this netbook. Its an intel 945 variant. Anyway...try waiting for the next kernel. Or if you cant wait, grab it from the respoistory and roll it yourself. If its a desktop, why do you need to suspend it, just leave it on =) [05:18] hey guys i replaced my NIC and the new one is eth1 instead of eth0. how can i make this new card eth0? [05:19] Anyone here use Ubuntu with Dell's E1505 Series? I am wanting to run Intrepid on it,. and I am concerned about hardware compatibility [05:19] freq18hz: because its used only about an hour a day and i'd love to save the $$ on my power bill [05:19] Hi All, how to prevent overwrite the file /etc/resolv.conf after each reboot ? [05:19] /bin/sh: cant access tty; job control turned off ???? [05:19] freq18hz: my math says i'd save $5/mo on power [05:19] $60 a year [05:19] list [05:20] nsgn: just shut it down then. Safer for your disks, and saves more power anyway. [05:20] freq18hz: its a television computer. i need it instantly recallable. i'm going to windows if it wont work in ubuntu [05:20] i like ubuntu better for this purpose, but windows actually works [05:20] and will sleep all day long and come back in an instant no issue [05:21] jove, you'd set it in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [05:22] nsgn: well, ubuntu works, it just has a bug with your hardware. But if sleep is your #1 priority, you should go back to windows. Unixes have had ongoing problems with sleep since sleep was incepted. Its pretty cool that it actually works now. It used to be impossible. A lot of unixes, BSD for instance, has sleep disabled by default. [05:22] hey guys, any info on creating a LAMPP server here on my ubuntu machine? [05:22] is it possible to add a package to an ignore list or something so that it can never be installed. I need to make sure that apt-get never installs rubygems but would also like it to think that it is there so anything that depends on it can still be installed [05:22] !lamp | tuxedocurly [05:22] tuxedocurly: 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+) [05:23] freq18hz: i'm just really sad to go back to windows. i'm much wanting any hack or fix for this [05:23] but i've tried the few i can find on google to no avail [05:23] hi all, i'v been downloading a 36GB file, using torrent , my /home drive is a 60gb partition, with my other stuff i have in my /home, i should have a a spare of only around 2 gb but when i check the free space it says i have 6.8 gb ! would my file have been downloaded properly? why is there a difference of 4 gb ???

Try posting on the ubuntu.com forums. Or wait for the next kernal. Or get different hardware. Or go back to windows. Its likely a kernel bug, which can [05:24] nanotube: there is still 400mb left, but most of the .avi files that have finished downloading work... [05:24] cannot be fixed by a hack. [05:24] nickrud, do you mean to copy the content of /etc/resolv.conf into /etc/dhcp3/dhcleint.conf ? [05:24] <[T]ank> so when i unmute my capture channel in the volume applet things do what they are supposed to. When i close and reopen the volume applet, the capture channel is muted again, how can i make it stay unuted? [05:24] <[T]ank> unmuted [05:24] freq18hz: what more specific info do you need? i just read the logs you mentioned and they dont give any errors. no panics. all config files look decent === kerm|t is now known as a [05:24] jove, no, set the domain servers you want dhcp to use in that file. [05:25] Alright well im going to see if i can manipulate the scripts to see if i can get it to work now [05:25] but if not ill be back [05:25] jove, when dhclient gets a lease, it will fill resolv.conf for you [05:25] nanotube: but why is there this 4 gb difference? i didnt understand ... thats y i'm puzzled! [05:25] nsgn: its probably a kernel bug then. [05:25] freq18hz: can you give me an idea how to compile the latest kernel into my OS? [05:25] i'm gonna last ditch effort it with that [05:25] then cry and go windows [05:25] *sniff* === a is now known as kerm|t [05:26] compiling a new kernel is easy enough [05:26] nickrud, I am not understand clear, so what file need to add the domain in ? [05:26] nsgn: search ubuntu.com, or read tutorials on kernel replacement. Consult the googles. [05:26] hello, can someone help me. I'm trying to go back to windows XP but when I try to boot to it before Ubuntu it keeps cycling me back to the boot option screen. How modify the boot sector to give me the windows boot options? [05:26] not as easy as an apt-get then, eh? :P [05:27] nanotube: even funny is when i check with partition editior it says that i have 9gb free!!! that would be 7gb difference! [05:27] nsgn: its not released yet. You'll have to see if you can get the code itself from their repository, and compile it [05:27] freq18hz: bummer. ok [05:28] hello everyone [05:28] My primary partition is winXP. I had to reinstall ubuntu just to get anything runninng. How do I get rid of the ubuntu boot loader and go back to windows XP? [05:28] would something like this work? : http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/09/upgrade-to-latest-kernelorg-kernel-with.html [05:28] i need help setting up a broadcom wireless card [05:28] jove, you would edit and uncomment the prepend domain-name-servers in the dhclient.conf file. When dhclient sets up the connection, it will put that/those addresses in resolv.conf [05:28] activating it from the hardware drivers app doesn't do anything [05:28] it's a bcm4311 rev(02) [05:28] i did install b43-fwcutter [05:29] still, network manager doesn't find any networks [05:29] andrew_, boot into windows recovery console, from windows cd and type fixmbr [05:29] thanx much [05:29] I will try that right now [05:30] under wireless networks it says "device is unmanaged" [05:30] macvr: hmm... not sure :) [05:30] any clue what i should do? [05:30] nanotube: :) [05:30] hi all, i'v been downloading a 36GB file, using torrent , my /home drive is a 60gb partition, with my other stuff i have in my /home, i should have a a spare of only around 2 gb but when i check the free space it says i have 6.8 gb ! would my file have been downloaded properly? why is there a difference of 4 gb ??? [05:30] When I switched from pop to imap, evolution began to crash (close abruptly without warning) whenever I click on a msg to see the msg preview. What would be a good way to trace the root cause of this? Are there, perhaps, system logs that can be inspected? [05:30] can anyone help me? [05:31] baz, evolution is crap with imap. I (and many others) ended up moving to thunderbird or kmail because of it.

[05:32] Sylphid: I couldn't find anything there that fixed my problem [05:32] MTecknology ssh into it? [05:33] maxxist: huh? [05:33] MTecknology, /etc/acpi/lid.sh [05:33] nickrud, thunderbird would have been great if it weren't for one major flaw... it doesn't check any subfolders for new messages! So I have to click and load each folder under /index to see if I have any new mail... crap. [05:33] hena2, have you cut your firmware out ? [05:34] MTecknology you can log into it with another computer using a telnet like system. but secure called openssh [05:34] nickrud: there's only a powerbtn.sh [05:34] maxxist: I think you're confused ;) [05:34] Sylphid: what do you mean? [05:34] baz, it does that for me; only problem is you have to right click each folder and mark it as one to be checked. A pain, but only necessary once [05:34] Flannel: I really hate to bug you, but I'm absolutely stuck trying to figure out the perms to restrict a user to only one directory with SFTP.... :S [05:34] nickrud: would it work if I just created that file? [05:34] i love people who reply to ubottu === chaky_ is now known as chaky [05:34] MTecknology maybe [05:35] hena2, 1 sec... [05:35] nickrud, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! If thats true you would have just solved a huge problem in my life... checking... [05:35] MTecknology, odd. I have a score of files in there, with 6 directories. I've never traced the execution there, so I'm not sure what would happen === dzup is now known as dzup-beback [05:36] how do I find out the permissions of a file at terminal and relate the results to the number that represents those permissions? [05:36] hey guys im back. When i go to http://localhost/wordpress/ i get the error "Error Establishing Connection To Database" Any ideas on how to fix this? I was given a link on the internet to try, but that doesnt seem to work, since i didnt know how to execute the command... any help? (the command i was supposed to run was "SET PASSWORD FOR some_user@some_host = OLD_PASSWORD('your_old password_here');" [05:36] nickrud: I don't use kde/gnome [05:36] Hello trying to tweak a Motion Computing LE1600 to get it to work. How does one make an on-screen keyboard show up during login, how do I get it's buttons to be recognized and do something? [05:36] MTecknology, ah. a sec [05:37] MTecknology, that file is in acpi-support , not a gnome/kde specific file [05:37] nickrud, in dhclient file, do I need to replace the IP 127.0.0.1 after uncomment "prepend domain...." ? [05:37] nsgn: so yeah, good luck [05:38] jove, yes. [05:38] Tablet PC (Motion Computing LE1600) running Ubuntu 8.10 [05:38] this might be a dumb question. but is there a project like wine, to run OSX apps in linux?? [05:38] freq18hz: i'm currently compiling new kernel with that tool i linked [05:38] nickrud: alrighty, thanks - I'm modifying the powerbtn.sh script since I think I found something I love there :) [05:38] Any ideas? [05:38] hi i am trying to install ubuntu server on a system with the realtek 8111c chipset and apparently i need to recompile the driver?? is this at all possible from a livecd? [05:38] hena2, http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#fw-b43-new ... start at download and extract firmware [05:38] nsgn: cool you downloaded the whole .29 kernel, or just the fix from their repository? [05:39] <[T]ank> When you adjust the volume settings on the applet in gnome... where does it actually save the settings? [05:39] hena2, replace sudo ../../b43-fwcutter-011/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta_mimo.o with sudo b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta_mimo.o [05:39] MTecknology, glad to point you in the right direction :) [05:39] nsgn: if it works, you should still upgrade to the full release kernel when it shows up [05:39] freq18hz: of course [05:39] <[T]ank> there seems to be a bug in one of the channels. if you close the applet the settings go back to muted on the capture 1 and capture 2 channels [05:39] nickrud, I'll reboot and update to you the status. [05:40] <[T]ank> google finds tons of references to a bug. Anyone have a different take on that?

[05:42] izinucs, and http://www.perlfect.com/articles/chmod.shtml will help you understand the permissions. [05:42] OK so I tried fixmbr in windows repair console and it said it fixed it but............. [05:42] andrew_: whats the issue? [05:42] it keeps booting to ubuntu. the windows option cycles back to ubuntu boot loading screen [05:42] radsy, thanks. but first I need to see what a file is set at.. from there I can make the change I need and then change it back to what it was. [05:42] It just keeps saying "starting up... grub loading stage 2..." [05:42] any ideas on helping me fix this LAMP server problem? [05:42] andrew_: did you install windows first, and then linux? [05:42] <[T]ank> anyone on the capture volume issue? [05:43] Yes [05:43] ls -la will show what it's set at, izinucs [05:43] On a separate partition [05:43] andrew: and you configured grub properly? [05:43] tuxedocurly: what is the problem? [05:43] tuxedocurly, is this wordpress from the ubuntu repos? [05:43] izinucs, if you do ls -la, paste the rwx.. values, i'll tell you what number it is. [05:44] you can go from there [05:44] nickrud: yea [05:44] nickrud: i think [05:44] hey guys, I installed my ubuntu inside windows [05:44] gate: hey guys im back. When i go to http://localhost/wordpress/ i get the error "Error Establishing Connection To Database" Any ideas on how to fix this?

[05:45] radsy, thanks.. ls -l also seems to report the values.. -rw-r--r- [05:45] freq18hz: it offered me a jillion kernel options i didnt understand. sure hope defaults are ok :) [05:45] jove, show me the whole file, on http://paste.ubuntu.com . [05:45] cause thats what i accepted [05:45] radsy, 766? [05:45] yep :) [05:45] :_ [05:45] :)) [05:45] nickrud: i have wordpress, and i unpacked it in my home directory, my problem is that when i go to http://localhost/wordpress/ to install, it doesnt work =\ [05:45] izinucs, now check that link i pasted, it'll help explain how it all comes together. [05:46] k [05:46] hang on izinucs [05:46] nsgn: the defaults are usually just maximum support...youd really only need to worry if you were trying to enable support for something super specialized, or trying to make a leaner kernel [05:46] tuxedocurly, ok, then you should check with the irc channel #wordpress for help on the install. They are intimately familiar with wordpress installation from their site [05:46] that's 644 [05:46] radsy, I know that the first 3 postitions are root, the second is group and the third is user.. am I close? [05:46] freq18hz: i did scan over them for sleep related options. didnt see any [05:46] * andrew_ needs help removing ubuntu alltogether and going back to the windows xp installed on the primary partition [05:46] i guess thats considered core [05:46] izinucs, check the link, that file is 644 [05:47] owner, group, others [05:47] ah.. [05:47] nickrud: how do i get to the wordress channe? "/join #wordpress ?

[05:48] and force my PC to boot to c: with windows? [05:48] andrew_: you can set the timer to like 1 second [05:48] jove, you are using network manager to set up your wireless, right? [05:48] andrew_: uncomment hidemenu [05:48] andrew_; trying to remove linux altogether? [05:48] andrew: make sure you have follow the setup steps to configure grub, on ubuntu.com community documentation page [05:49] andrew_: and set default to windows on the line: default # [05:49] i tried that. it didn't work [05:49] nickrud: well, it almost works. but the script is kinda poorly written so... [05:49] default doesn't matter. it doesn't DO ANYTHING when i chose winxp [05:49] andrew: otherwise, you might need to reinstall grub if it isnt working right [05:49] you can put windows at the top of the list (barf) [05:49] Sylphid: should i be downloading this driver? [05:49] wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o.1' [05:49] it doesn't matter where it's at on the list. it won't boot at all [05:50] how does one remove Ubuntu? [05:50] andrew_; you have incorrectly configured grub [05:50] im using ubuntu 8.10 im trying to figure out how to change the default runlevel why isnt it in /etc/inittab? [05:50] holy poop, building the kernel says it wants to take 2 to 4 hours [05:50] hena2, yes that is what the wget line is doing [05:50] ok, how do I tell the portion of grub to load windows properly? [05:50] i've only done this once before, ages ago [05:50] jove, I mean the icon on the top panel animates, then says you have a connection [05:50] the kernel has gotten big [05:50] Sylphid: i was asking if that was the correct version [05:50] Grub error 21 while my external is plugged in, help? [05:51] grub [05:51] andrew_ depends on your config [05:51] !grub [05:51] what is this grub day :S [05:51] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [05:51] andrew: read the howto [05:51] hena2, doesnt look like it [05:51] radsy, I guess what I find confusing is the file is in the root of /var/www and is the php configuration file for Joomla.. however when in the control panel of joomla and I make a change I get "configuration.php" unwriteable .. I would think that Joomla should be able to write to it's own configuration... I might be wrong [05:51] nickrud, yes. I had the wireless connection well. Let me explain, every time rebooting, the file /etc/resolv.conf had overwritten the unwanted IP addreses. [05:51] jove? [05:52] apparently it is not intel 3945 day [05:52] jove, yes, that's what happens. Normal [05:52] Sylphid: k [05:52] let me see if tar gives me the error again [05:52] * andrew_ has read the Grub howto. Has anyone actually ever removed Ubuntu and gone back to XP? [05:52] nicirud, do you see the dhclient that I sent to U correct ? [05:52] jove, ok, then we should be in the right place. I forgot to mention, remove domain-name-servers from the next line group, 'request' [05:52] where did inittab go? [05:52] putrefy, /etc/event.d [05:53] my intel 3945 only works occasionally. of course, the driver comes with ubuntu. i don't understand. any ideas? [05:53] Anyone here use Ubuntu with Dell's E1505 Series? I am wanting to run Intrepid on it,. and I am concerned about hardware compatibility. [05:53] nickrud, thanks man! [05:53] izinucs, it still depends who owns the file [05:53] !laptop | Zombie [05:53] Zombie: Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org [05:53] izinucs, try chmod 777 the file then do your joomla config to prove it [05:53] Zombie, erm, I'm guessing laptop :) [05:53] then change back to 644 as a test [05:53] Sylphid: k, i followed all the steps in the code box sucessfully, except the ones you told me to replace [05:53] Sylphid: now what? [05:54] radsy, sure 777 makes it writeable by everyone.. right? [05:54] Grub error 21 while my external is plugged in, help? [05:54] yes [05:54] nsgn: still compiling? =) [05:54] hena2, reboot [05:54] freq18hz: heck yeah i am. this takes a long time [05:54] Sylphid: ok [05:54] izinucs, i really recommend you read that link ... it will help you understand it for the future. [05:54] hope it works [05:54] it says "2 to 4 hours" but i'm hoping it may be faster since i'm on a core 2 duo [05:54] radsy, k.. [05:55] very simple once you have your head around it [05:55] nsgn: heh well let me know, I want to know if linus fix works [05:55] radsy, is there a way to find out who owns the file? [05:55] freq18hz: there was a newer stable available. if that doesnt work, i'll try the development patch one [05:55] can anyone assist getting grub working on a software RAID? [05:55] if that doesnt work its windows for me :( [05:56] izinucs, strangely enough, http://www.perlfect.com/articles/chmod.shtml explains that, too [05:56] nickrud: I'm getting closer [05:56] radsy, ok.. I get the point.. thanks [05:56] the remote desktop viewing just doesn't work [05:57] Zombie: besides a websearch, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/Dell might have some info on that [05:57] * russia213_ sighs [05:57] it doesn't work with crypto enabled, and the server doesn't even start with the crypto disabled [05:57] nickrud, okey...I am going to reboot and let you know. [05:58] it is impossible to log in with the unix passwords, and it is only possible to use an 8-char password [05:58] ubuntu sux [05:58] what is the easiest way to create a image of ubuntu, so that I don't have to install and repeat the same steps every time to get my system back to the way it was? [05:58] rdancer, ubuntu is awesome [05:58] :) [05:58] if you say so rdancer, the user is always right! [05:58] rdancer, why dya say that? [05:58] hes flaming [05:59] nickrud: :D [05:59] Sylphid: awesome, it worked [05:59] Gate, sure, i was just looking for his justification [05:59] !ghost | buttons [05:59] buttons: On IRC, if you own a nick that is currently being used, you can make it quit by typing: /msg nickserv GHOST [05:59] Howdy folks [05:59] MTecknology, success? [05:59] Buttons, oop ... sorry wrong factiod [05:59] b3z3rk3r: can you read? [05:59] lol [05:59] Sylphid: hate to pester you further. but do you think you could help me install my nvidia driver? for a geforce go 7150? [05:59] nickrud: yup [05:59] lol [05:59] i was gonna say... [06:00] <^cheeky> hello iam using the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to check if i can fix a problem i have, as i enter i have this menu asking me about "Use kernel framebuffer device interface? " i am not sure if should say yes || no ? thank you [06:00] Some time ago we embarked on a project to develop something like AD for linux - I just wanted to get a feel of how many people think thats a worthwhile solution (or a requirement) [06:00] Grub error 21 while my external is plugged in, help? [06:00] at the moment, i'm stuck at 800x600 resolution [06:00] frk2: take a look at Samba4, they are almost ready with the betas [06:00] no one has any ideas on intel 3945 wireless not working? [06:00] so, i'm rdy for my factoid now, the correct one please [06:00] so you know, combine Ldap, kerberos, NFS, DNS, DHCP, NTP into one nice GUI === marty is now known as Guest24687 [06:00] Buttons, dpkg --get-selections > mypackages, put mypackages on the new machine ; sudo dpkg --set-selections < mypackages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade . Assuming you've saved & moved $HOME, and made no changes to /etc [06:01] hena2, proprietary drivers installed ? [06:01] quietas, we are developing something that would sit on TOP of samba4 [06:01] what i wanted (or thought was missing) was a extensible GUI [06:01] Buttons, the one i thought it was is wrong.. looking [06:01] Sylphid: I tried installing them after ubuntu couldn't [06:01] ahh, even better yet. If there was a full GUI to configure it similar to the MS MMC for AD that would be perfect [06:01] Sylphid: didn't work out very well [06:02] had to default to standard ubuntu video drivers [06:02] quietas, MMS is nothing compared to the power of dojo- webbased! :) [06:02] so what do you think of the idea? [06:02] its not just the ldap/kerberos/samba part though [06:03] any good visual basic programming packages for Ubunut ? [06:03] heck, I've been looking for a good tool to configure dns, dhcp, smb, apache, squid. Essentially a GUI for a home gateway/router/fileserver [06:03] Buttons, look into partition http://www.partimage.org/ [06:03] i want it to seamlessly administer my postfix/cyrus and my asterisk and everything and anything else thats required in a organization [06:03] this campus has port 6667 blocked for me [06:03] quietas, problem is that my GUI would get too complex for home use [06:03] <^cheeky> iam not sure if iam doing this right , i went with yes in the configuareation that is executed with this command : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. but i only was asked about the keyboard layout. am i doing something wrong here ? [06:03] pisses me off so much [06:04] hena2, what do you get from lspci | grep VGA [06:04] ^cheeky, no, that's all that configure command does for X anymore [06:04] frk: complex I don't care about, but a enterpise webmin replacement would be be great [06:04] hi all [06:04] hello anonyme [06:04] <^cheeky> nickrud, so , it does not do anything for the video feature [06:05] Sylphid: 00:12.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 7150M (rev a2) [06:05] nickrud, it does not work after its reboot. can you take a look at this file at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/113910/ [06:05] ^cheeky, correct. [06:05] is it normal that i can't see icons on my desktop any more ? Yesterday, I've updated some packages and now, when I want to launch nautilus, it don't works [06:06] nickrud, do you any idea if you take a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/113910/ [06:06] jove, if you're usiing dhcp that should be all you need to do. I did some reading while you were away, and some people claim that it's not working for them. http://www.thejackol.com/2008/05/20/fixing-networkmanager-dns-issue-in-ubuntu-hardy-herongutsy/ shows a hack that prevents resolv.conf from being overwritten [06:06] hena2, sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules [06:06] BeerCan: Now, nautilus is working and when i go in Desktop, I can see icons, but they are not on my desktop [06:07] nickrud, it seems a new bug though [06:07] Sylphid: is that it? [06:07] jove, yes it does. Why it happens, I don't know. [06:07] where'd all the feisty packages go? [06:08] !feisty | swolchok1 [06:08] swolchok1: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [06:08] brb [06:08] nickrud, yes I have to modify /etc/resolv.conf everytime to reboot [06:08] nickrud: so i'm boned if i've got good reasons for not wanting to update the distribution? [06:08] hena2, after its done installing you will need to restart X [06:08] swolchok1, you can use old-releases.ubuntu.com for a repo, but there will be no security upgrades. Use at your own risk. [06:09] uhm... what are those coolers for laptops called again?.. the mats w/ the fans? [06:09] which ntp server we can use? [06:09] how do I cat the info from dmesg into a txt file? [06:09] nickrud: good enough; I just want to test a MITM attack [06:09] thanks [06:09] jeeves_Moss, dmesg > file.txt [06:10] nickrud, thanks. I thought it was something like that, but it turns out that I didn't need cat in there === ectodozing is now known as ectospasm [06:10] jeeves_Moss, you could use cat /var/log/dmesg > file.txt if you must use cat ;) === marty__ is now known as martyfuhry [06:12] nickrud, I remember that after I configured vpnclient-cisco -- that how it happens...do you know what file trigger to it. [06:12] Can someone who understand GRUB and dual booting please look at my menu.lst on http://paste.ubuntu.com/113912/ [06:12] If apache2 is installed should there be a group corresponding to it? [06:12] jove, ah, no. I'm real low quality network help, just the basics ;) [06:12] i'm trying to get to windowsXP and it's just not booting right [06:12] nickrud, I'd prefer not to. it was late last night, and I didn't feel like looking it up [06:13] bye [06:13] nickrud, thanks so much for your time. [06:13] i pasted my boot grub info on http://paste.ubuntu.com/113912/ and everytime I try to select windows it just keeps cycling back to GRUP [06:14] errr GRUB [06:14] Sylphid: ok, so i installed the restricted modules, now what? [06:14] hena2, restart X [06:14] andrew_, thats a correct grub file for a one disk dual boot, assuming ubuntu is booting correctly .... [06:14] hena2, ctrl + alt + backspace [06:14] nickrud UBUNTU boots fine, XP won't boot at all! [06:15] hi [06:15] andrew_, I'd look into booting from an xp disk and making sure that windows is booting correctly at all [06:15] Sylphid, after just installing the modules? do i need to enable anything? [06:15] or is that it? [06:15] <^cheeky> hi,.. umm i have this new mother board, intel DG45id and using its inbuilt video card and i am running ubuntu 8.10 and i have the resolution at 1024 X 768 and i need to get it to be even smaller, this is what my xorg file looks like : http://pastebin.ca/1327769. is there anything i can do to fix this? [06:15] I can't I've tried It just keeps going to UBUNTU [06:15] I need to install some drivers from Sony...what is an rpm file? [06:15] !rpm [06:15] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [06:16] andrew_, then it's probably a problem with windows not grub. the super grub disk (google) is a good tool for testing windows/grub boot/installations [06:16] http://www.sony.net/Products/Linux/Download/DSC-H3.html which one should i DL for Ubuntu 8.10? [06:16] andrew_, wait a minute. you can't boot an xp boot disk? and you're sure you have the cd as the first boot device? [06:16] hena2, you can verify by looking in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and looking at the module [06:16] Sylphid: k === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [06:17] <^cheeky> i dont seem to see and xorg file for that motherboard [06:17] What's up? === salt is now known as Gizmo [06:18] Sylphid: it doesn't say anything about nvidia [06:18] ^cheeky, you should check system->prefs->screen resolution [06:18] i am trying 'sudo usermod -aG www-data userid; groups' but there is still no www-data in my groups. am i doing somethingn wrong? [06:18] hena2, can you pastebin your xorg.conf [06:18] I have grub error 21 and my external is plugged in [06:18] <^cheeky> nickrud, i did , thats the highest i can go [06:18] Sylphid: sure [06:19] graydot: You have to log out and back in again for group changes to take effect. [06:19] I was playing with ldap and screwed up password auth. How do I reenable password logins? Right now the only way into this machine is ssh public key. Even sudo is screwed (I guess I'll have to boot from CD to get root) [06:19] tonyyarusso, thanks [06:19] ^cheeky, take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log , see if it's using the vesa driver or the intel one. [06:19] also - on a related curiosity tangent - is there any way to use ssh public key (like on a thumb drive) for console or gdm login ? [06:19] anyone know much about thunderbird? [06:19] http://www.sony.net/Products/Linux/Download/DSC-H3.html which one should i DL for Ubuntu 8.10? Since, rpm's are seemingly dangerous. [06:19] <^cheeky> nickrud, ok i will thank you [06:19] I just want to know if it's possible to do this: http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/3380/emailee1.jpg [06:20] Lana: some, what is your question? [06:20] Sylphid: http://pastebin.com/m39dcf5b6 [06:20] when I add email accounts it only lists them [06:20] I need to separate them into subcategories, etc [06:20] nathanhelp, I'd guess (without knowing more about what it is or the code is supposed to do) that you need all of them. And they're written especially for red had [06:20] *hat [06:20] either in thunderbird or any other email client that can run on ubuntu [06:21] hi all , how do i password protect a certain folder, so that every time i have to view the contents i need to enter the password? [06:21] Lana: um, if you need categories for your accounts, perhaps you have too many accounts... [06:21] Lana: I haven't tried that myself, I'd check for addons that might do it. [06:21] macvr: GPG and a script of some sort. [06:21] nickrud: It's for a digital still camera. I dont think I need all of them...but...even so... if it's for redhat that doesnt help me on debian does it? unless...theres a way to convert? [06:21] Pleas help me ;_; [06:21] one can never have too many accounts ... [06:21] tonyyarusso: GPG?? i'm just a linux noob could u elaborate? [06:22] I run several sites, each with several email accounts, and more sites to come in the future, so I really want to organize the treebar that way [06:22] !gpg | macvr [06:22] macvr: gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts [06:22] I checked addons for thunderbird and couldn't find any [06:22] <^cheeky> nickrud, hey, it seems it has both ... is that possible ? [06:22] Hey guys, Ive just downloaded another backup of Ubuntu, but this time the md5sum is completely different [06:22] hena2, run jockey-gtk [06:22] nathanhelp, there's alien, but I spend more time than I like helping people do surgery on broken systems because they broke their system with alien [06:22] ^cheeky, nope, if you see (VESA) in a *lot* of lines, you're using the VESA driver and not the intel one [06:23] how to find words in man page? [06:23] tonyyarusso: and anything i could read up about the scripts? [06:23] Hay, sleep and hybernation doesn't work, it just goes black and freezes any ideas? [06:23] Sylphid: and which of the two nvidia drivers do i activate? [06:23] 173? or 177? [06:23] hena2, 177 [06:23] O__o, / that is, hit the slash key then type what you're looking for then enter [06:23] Anyone know what could cause the md5sum to be so different if the file was downloaded from the same source? [06:23] nickrud, thx [06:23] macvr: The Advanced Bash Scripting guide will give you more information than you could possibly need, so you'll just need to figure out which bits you actually want to use. Happy reading! [06:24] Sylphid: tried that when i said brb a little while ago. it wouldn't work. ubuntu said there was a problem and the only option that let me log in was to revert back to defaults [06:24] R34L1TY: corruption [06:24] !abs | macvr [06:24] macvr: Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide, obtainable with ${package-manager} install abs-guide, is a quick and comprehensive guide to bash (command line) scripting in *nix systems. It is also viewable via web at http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [06:24] ^cheeky, I'm not much of an intel guy ... I'm mostly just trying to help you narrow your question for the next person ;( [06:24] jakarta [06:24] R34L1TY: or the NSA is trying to backdoor you, or the md5 you have is wrong [06:24] omg its a party in hear [06:24] this will sound weird. how do i go about forcing approx to fill /var/cache/approx with a mirror of the live repositories? [06:24] I have grub error 21 and my external is plugged in I can't boot windows directly either [06:24] tonyyarusso: thank you... :) [06:24] everyone, I can't get my labtop to sleep or hybernate, it just goes black and freezes? help? [06:24] Can anyone run a md5 on ubuntu-8.04.2-desktop-i386 [06:25] i have a rdesktop question, i read the man page but still dont understand. how do u get sound from windows xp to rdesktop? [06:25] how do i change the hovering/selection color in my theme? [06:25] R34L1TY, you can find official md5sums at releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 [06:25] rdesktop -r sound xx.xx.xx.xx ?? [06:25] macvr: If you want to be really comprehensive about it you could implement it as a Nautilus plugin, but the easiest way would be to do something like have your folder ~/private_stuff, and then a script ~/open_private.sh, and just click the script to run before entering the folder. [06:25] they only liste 8.04.1 as far as i seen nick [06:25] <^cheeky> nickrud, hey your helping me and thank you , i dont see it in alot of lines .. kinda seem them both, is there particular line i should look for in the log ? [06:25] how do i change the hovering/selection color in my theme? [06:25] ^cheeky, why not just put it on http://paste.ubuntu.com ? [06:26] macvr: Alternatively, if you're running 8.10 there's some sort of built in ~/Private directory feature that I think uses LUKS, but I haven't played with that yet since I'm on 8.04. [06:26] rdesktop -r sound:local xx.xx.xx.xx ?? [06:26] Sylphid: you're taking a bit to respond. so i'm going to try out the 173. as i dont have too much time to get this sorted out [06:26] hena2, 177 [06:26] nickrud: I'd prefer to not use alien if possible. [06:26] tonyyarusso: but if some one clicks on the folder instead of the private.sh , wouldnt they have direct access? [06:26] hena2, sorry said it earlier musta missed it [06:26] Sylphid: i tried that last time, and it failed [06:26] how do i change the hovering/selection color in my theme? [06:27] hena2, ok try 173 then [06:27] R34L1TY: it shows .2 for me, try a reload. 589f13da46e34789cb13b7dc574ccc6c [06:27] nathanhelp, I'd google your device model number with the word ubuntu for more info. I'd hate to see you try alien :) [06:27] Sylphid: k [06:27] macvr: Well, the way I'm envisioning this is that you'd "unlock" it, use stuff, and "lock" it again. While unlocked, yes. Although of course you can use the built in folder permissions stuff so that they would have to first have access to your user account. [06:27] Oh, nevermind, Thank you nickrud, the md5 is indeed correct. Not sure what i did differently this time around :) [06:27] everyone, I can't get my labtop to sleep or hybernate, it just goes black and freezes? HElp pl0x?? [06:28] shouldn't there be a group for apache? like -www or similar? [06:28] orsonj - thank you as well :) [06:28] izinucs: www-data by default. [06:28] I suddenly cannot see any image in Flickr, I am using firefox, does anyone know why could that be happening? its happening only on that site [06:28] test [06:28] Alrighty then, Thanks for the support everyone. Im off to burn a lovely copy of ubuntu :D [06:28] tonyyarusso, that's what I thought! I'm looking for it in groups and don't see it listed event though apache, mysql and php are installed. [06:29] Alysum: test recieved over, continuing with project alpha [06:29] how do i change the hovering/selection color in my theme? [06:29] shoulda told him to use a USB stick [06:29] CDs suck [06:29] Titan8990, apparently my upgrade worked [06:29] VoodooDance: nice [06:29] izinucs: "looking for it in groups" meaning /etc/group ? [06:29] VoodooDance: drivers too? [06:29] Pleas help me ;_; [06:29] how can I track down this error? "usb 1-1: device not accepting address 2, error -71" [06:29] tonyyarusso: oh... ok... i'll read up about it , n maybe things would be clearer, also could this be used only any type of partition? or only ext3 , i ask since i have an XFS partition also... [06:30] tonyyarusso, no.. in the gui appelate [06:30] macvr: Any Linux/Unix type. [06:30] how do i change the hovering/selection color in my theme? [06:30] tonyyarusso: ok... thanx [06:30] <^cheeky> i think i found it :) [06:31] its using 177 now [06:31] which is better than 173 [06:31] izinucs: Those are the groups you belong to already, not the ones that exist on the system.

[06:41] now to try to install 180 === http is now known as danielmiller512 [06:42] <^cheeky> hi how would i be able to check what bios version i have in ubuntu ? [06:43] hey guys [06:43] anyone know how to get xdmcp working over wireless? [06:43] I have a P4 Cedar Mill Single-Core Processor. It has hyper threading. /proc/cpuinfo shows it as if it were 2 physical cpu's. (processor : 0 and processor : 1). The "System Monitor" shows one 'thread' at almost 100% always, and the other at almost zero. Sometimes they switch around, and the graph itself is interesting to watch, as one 'cpu' goes down, the other goes up almost at the exact same rate. "top" is showing th [06:43] My question is, Is this normal? Should one 'cpu/thread' on a single-core cpu always appear to be at 100% usage? [06:44] dimension128: For single threaded applications that is normal load behavior [06:44] ok [06:45] anyone here use a toshiba protege 3500 with ubuntu or linux [06:45] ^cheeky: sometimes lshw will show you that. [06:45] tritium, ok.. I did the sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 what next? [06:45] ^cheeky: if not you'll have to reboot and look [06:45] i [06:46] <^cheeky> tonyyarusso, well.. mine has the huge intel thing .. does not show me my specs [06:46] anybody here know anything about xdmcp? [06:47] i will paypal $20 usd to anyone who fixes my problem... [06:47] lol [06:47] ali__: $25 [06:47] ali__: I appreciate the gesture, but unfortunately I don't know the answer. :S [06:48] whats the issue [06:48] lol [06:48] i can't get xdmcp working over wifi [06:48] ali__: :P [06:48] it works fine over ethernet but not over wifi [06:48] im using a laptop as a client so ethernet kinda defeats the purpose of having a laptop in the first place [06:49] i [06:49] i [06:49] Circs: So how do I know what kind of load a process is really imposing on my machine? When top says something is using 80%CPU, does that mean I have 20% unused or 120%? Or better yet, do you know of any place I can read up on this kind of stuff? I tried googling phrases like "Ubuntu Hyperthreading, always at 100%" But the results are pretty much useless. [06:49] ali__-> when you use the ethernet on your laptop it works with xdcmp? [06:50] n8tuser: yeah [06:50] dimension128: Hyperthreading doesn't mean you actually have two cpus, it only shows up like that, so when it says 80 used, you only have 20% free [06:50] ali__-> the remote host is on same subnet? [06:50] n8tuser: yeah all my stuff is on 192.168.1.* [06:50] dimension128: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-threading [06:51] Circs: thank you [06:51] hi how to get sound in rdesktop?

[06:51] dimension128: That should give you a good groundwork for understanding, but basically HTT is a way to combat the excessively long pipeline of the Netburst processor arch. [06:51] rdesktop -r sound:remote i can hear sound from my remote xp machine [06:51] is there a way to make update-manger when doing a dist-upgrade force to use a mirror [06:52] n8tuser: ok brb w/ a pastebin url... === nuxil-eee is now known as nuxil [06:52] dimension128: If you have any questions after reading that just ask me and I'll explain [06:53] how can i completely remove ubuntu... i wanna install windows xp back... could somebody help me [06:54] i'm having a problem with my ubuntu+screen+irssi character encoding, in ubuntu+screen it's turning a little dot in the center of the line into a block.. without screen it works great, but inside of screen it's all messed up [06:54] lahori: reinstall winxp [06:54] lahori: You just install Windows - that should be plenty. [06:54] thank you [06:54] lahori: it should reinstall if not use the live cd and partition the disk as ntfs and then install winXP [06:54] lahori: insert windows cd and reboot, erase all partitions a create new one for windows [06:55] n8tuser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/113917/ [06:55] lahori whay do you want to just curious [06:55] i [06:56] ali__-> your laptop is .69 and you're connecting to which ip? [06:56] n8tuser: .1 [06:56] he's a lahori thats why [06:57] ali__-> can you ping that .1 ip now from your laptop? [06:57] hi all, I'm using Hardy, kernel 2.6.24-23, just upgraded the latest ATI driver, version 9.1, and my suspend/hibernate function doesn't work anymore, I'm on Thinkpad T60, with ATI Mobility X1300, anyone has any idea or info on my issue? :-) [06:57] n8tuser: yeah no problem at all... im wondering if it's because the wireless doesn't connect until logon, and xdmcp is started before logon? [06:59] n8tuser: that was a string of assumptions by the way... i don't really know what i'm talking about [06:59] ali__-> when you do X :8 -query 192.168.1.1 does that work? [06:59] i [06:59] wow the quality of supports really droped over the years [06:59] hi all, I'm using Hardy, kernel 2.6.24-23, just upgraded the latest ATI driver, version 9.1, and my suspend/hibernate function doesn't work anymore, I'm on Thinkpad T60, with ATI Mobility X1300, anyone has any idea or info on my issue? [06:59] :) [07:00] Hi, I keep getting a Exit 127 message when I try to "start a proccess" [07:00] Anyone know what it means ? [07:00] dbuiviet check http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki =) thats how i fixed issues on my R61 [07:02] Things: something is failing in the code. That's about all you know. What process? [07:02] ali__ are you there? [07:02] n8tuser: that worked fine i was amazed to see that [07:02] n8tuser: that worked fine i was amazed to see that [07:02] I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 server and I want to customize iptables to add a pom (patch-o-matic) module (the ROUTE target).. I'm following these steps: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=489011&postcount=2. any idea what's the proper way to get all the p-o-m patches in the tree so I can build it? [07:02] n8tuser: is there any way of getting that to work before login? [07:02] * tcindie yawns [07:03] hey all :) [07:03] boss-> is that $20 bux ready for you to deposit? [07:03] thanks zeroshare, I will check it :-) [07:03] Circs: Interesting. So would I gain anything by compiling the kernel with some kind of options for my cpu? Or is the standard Ubuntu precompiled kernel already doing the best job that can be done? [07:04] n8tuser: i'm a man of my word... but can i get that working without having to first login to the laptop? [07:04] tonyyarusso, a SA-MP server [07:04] ***@***:/home/Things/samp02X# ./samp02Xsvr & [07:04] -bash: ./samp02Xsvr: No such file or directory [07:04] [1] 5047 [07:04] [1]+ Exit 127 ./samp02Xsvr [07:04] Things: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:04] Oops [07:04] boss that command using X -- you must be logged on [07:04] dimension128: There is almost always something to be gained by compiling on your specific machine, but unless you spend a lot of time with multithreaded apps of multi tasking with high IO waits your performance won't increase by any measurable amount [07:05] s/of/or [07:05] n8tuser: in the options menu at login you can choose xdmcp... i guess that's off limits unless you're wired, or am i wrong? [07:05] boss-> the login screen on the laptop only allows you to login to your laptop, [07:06] i have a front panel jack for headphones on my computer. I can't figure out if there is a way to mute the normal spekaer output when this is plugged in. can anyone help? [07:06] as it is, when I plug in headphones, it plays on both the normal speakers, and my headphones [07:06] boss-> what that meant is your laptop can be logged on remotely using xdcmp, it does not meant you can use your laptop's login prompt to login to a remote system [07:06] dimension128: Did that answer your question? [07:07] n8tuser: i tried it wired and it worked [07:07] Circs: Aye, ok. Its so nice to have a place to ask questions like this. You have been very helpful thank you. [07:07] peepsalot: There is..a sec [07:07] boss-> perhaps i dont follow, when your laptop is wired, you then do what? [07:08] dimension128: Not a problem. I actually have a workstation with a 3.8 P4 and I turned off hyperthreading for my purposes. [07:08] n8tuser: choose xdmcp from the options menu at the login screen, and it gives a list of available hosts (which i have 1, which is 192.168.1.1)... i click it and i get to the same screen i did with the X command [07:08] peepsalot: Right-click or double-click the volume applet, go to the "Switches" tab in the Volume Control manager, and select "Headphone Jack Sense". [07:09] Hallo [07:09] hello [07:09] Circs: Does it really work better to turn it off when your running non ht apps? Did you see a noticeable performance gain? [07:09] Italian or english only? [07:09] can I ask for help here? [07:10] tonyyarusso, hmm, mine doesn't have that switch. i wonder if it's just a crappy sound card. it's onboard Asus m2n-e [07:10] !it [07:10] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [07:10] peepsalot: could be yeah [07:10] dimension128: Not really, but I kept getting strange errors when the load would climb and I'd try to use something else at the same time. [07:10] boss-> when you just have wireless on your laptop, do you have to do anything to get it associated and have wireless access or just turn it on and get a wireless outright? [07:10] OK grazie a n8tuser> [07:11] Circs: Well gotta get to bed. Thanks again. [07:11] n8tuser: when i turn it on and i'm logged in, it connects automatically to my router with the network-manager applet. but that's because i have a saved configuration there... before i set that up in network-manager (which isn't started until login) it would ask me for the wpa key [07:12] can I ask for help in this room? [07:13] !ask [07:13] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:13] n8tuser: pm me your paypal email and i'll transfer the $ now... i trust you won't disappear :P [07:13] boss-> then you need to setup your /etc/network/interfaces so it auto connects upon boot (withou you needing to login) [07:13] ok [07:14] boss may I request.. donate it to a very good cause.. like st jude or salvation army ( i dont know if they have these in uk) [07:14] i'm having a problem with pulseaudio. it seems when i play a youtube video through Adobe Flash Player 10, i cannot get audio playback from any program. it simply hangs. so far, i've only been able to revive playback by rebooting my system. anyone have a workaround? [07:14] n8tuser: half to a good cause, half to you? [07:14] boss all of it [07:15] AgentHeX, which ubuntu are you using? [07:15] 8.04.2 [07:15] n8tuser thanks for your help, i'll stay in the channel and let you know where it's gone [07:15] boss you're welcome [07:15] MoLE_: and i've enabled hardy-proposed as well as hardy-backports, but i doubt this has any relevance. [07:15] boss getting back to your issue, the auto connect at boot should be configured in /etc/network/interfaces [07:15] donate to ubuntu [07:16] AgentHeX, IIRC it's a known issue for 8.04, have you read the wiki.ubuntu.com entry on pulseaudio and flash? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [07:16] n8tuser any idea how i can do that? [07:16] no. i'll check that out. i looked on launchpad for bug reports but didn't find anything. [07:16] in my home,2pc,one xp,another xubuntu.when the two connect the internet,the xubuntu is wrong.when the xubuntu connect the internet alone,it's good.what's the matter? [07:17] boss hang a few...let me check something [07:17] n8tuser i looked at an example file online and it looks pretty daunting...thanks [07:17] boss-> you are using 8.10 ? === dzup-beback is now known as dzup [07:18] hi, my wireless connection is slow for some reason. it stays around 25kB/s where as my wired connection is limited by my ISP (over 1MB/s). What is the deal with the wireless? I'm using 8.10 new install [07:18] AgentHeX, http://humanpenguin.wordpress.com/2008/08/18/pulseaudio-and-flash-issues-in-ubuntu-804-resolved-at-last/ [07:18] n8tuser yeah [07:18] MoLE_: thanks for the find. i'll see if it fixes my problem. [07:18] boss hang a few...let me check something [07:19] hey my ubuntu box is acting as a masq gateway, and i want to limit one ip on the network to just 15kbps upload rate, what do I want to use? [07:19] np AgentHeX [07:19] I am new so forgive me if this is stupid. Yesterday my ubuntu indicated that there was updates available. I clicked on it as usual and it started downloading. It came up with an error and since then can't open open office, can't remove or reinstall it. Says I have 9 broken packages. Tried doing as the error box says, which is open package manager. When that opens it says to use the broken filter to locate them. I tried Edit, Fix Broken Packages. Sa [07:20] boss you said wpa2 ? [07:20] n8tuser yeah personal [07:20] syntac: is there any network services that you can test against? like a web server on your lan or something? I've heard of some drivers causing like a bandwidth limitation of that much [07:20] boss thats wpa2 or wpa1 i dont remember [07:21] theres one for eahc :) [07:21] in my home,2pc,one xp,another xubuntu.when the two connect the internet,the xubuntu is wrong.when the xubuntu connect the internet alone,it's good.what's the matter? [07:21] xubuntu 8.10 [07:21] n8tuser wpa2/psk [07:21] * aceat64 is away: not here [07:21] kylek, yes, whenever i run the update software (my mirror is a server on campus here) it runs at ~20kB/s on wireless but at 120kB/s when wired [07:21] boss did you post your /etc/network/interfaces file earlier? [07:21] JakPete: You got cut off. But, go to a terminal, do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, and it'll likely give you a command to perform regarding broken packages [07:21] wwbwwb: might want to clarify on "wrong" [07:21] n8tuser no i'll do that now [07:21] boss if not, canyou post it? === sumedh is now known as samurai [07:21] syntac: whatever wireless driver you're using is crap then [07:22] try ndiswrapper if you're not using it, or the other option if you are (i think its atheros that has that issue) [07:22] how do i determine what i'm using? [07:23] clarify? [07:23] lsmod |ndis? [07:23] wwbwwb: exactly [07:23] wwbwwb: "wrong" is very vague, like when all the computers are hooked up, are the images upside down for the xubuntu machine? [07:23] n8tuser http://paste.ubuntu.com/113925/ i think it's pretty much default [07:24] boss add these lines [07:24] kylek, i have the intel 5100 wireless controller. have you heard anything bad about it?

[07:25] n8tuser, cool [07:25] i'm a beginner.not very catch your mean.but thank you very much [07:25] sorry floodbot [07:25] JakPete: You'll need to close synaptic, update-manager, and whatever other package managers you have, and try again. (And ignore the GPG error for now) [07:25] syntac: nope, did you do "lsmod | ndis"? [07:26] may or may not list ndiswrapper [07:26] my pulse audio isn't remembering my default device between reboots [07:26] help, what command i want to use root [07:26] help, what command i want to use root in terminal? [07:26] n8tuser, is that all? [07:26] n8tuser, is that all? [07:26] n8tuser, sorry [07:26] kreino: looking for sudo?

[07:28] em [07:28] Flannel: can I speak to you in private so I can copy/paste the message i got? [07:28] !paste | JakPete [07:28] JakPete: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [07:28] now.. kreino@ubuntu:~$ ....................

I don't understand what you want me to do [07:29] Hummmm [07:29] JakPete: Copy the text and paste it to the pastebin, hit 'submit' or whatever, and you'll get a new URL (with your paste) give us that URL [07:30] oh ok [07:30] !cbq [07:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about cbq [07:30] !htb [07:30] Sorry, I don't know anything about htb [07:30] hey [07:30] i use a server with only CLI, problem is with my video card is a 7800gs and a LOUD fan, under console it spins 100%, but with drivers loaded and in xserver its quiet(no longer have xserver installed), how do i shut it the hell up in cli? [07:31] http://paste.ubuntu.com/113926/ [07:31] me being a newby to ubuntu, should I download a self extracting file or an RPM self extracting file? [07:31] harley, neither [07:31] how did you go AgentHeX [07:31] !deb | harley [07:31] harley: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [07:31] arvind_khadri, ? :S [07:32] JakPete: Oh, you're adding PPAs for OOo 3? [07:32] hey how can i get aircrack-ng installed ??? [07:32] harley, you should install stuff from the repositories [07:32] arvind_khadri, then how should i go about installing java? [07:32] ronsky, sudo aptitude install aircrack-ng [07:33] harley, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [07:33] Awesome thanks [07:33] harley, sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras will also give you mp3 support and other stuff like flash [07:33] how to stop the terminal from downloading something...? i cant stop it. before i just test mttcorefonts.. but i want to cancel..? [07:33] harley, substitute jre with jdk if you want jdk... type that in the terminal [07:33] kreino, press control-c [07:33] !java > harley [07:33] harley, please see my private message [07:33] MoLE_, I did that yesterday, thanks anyway :) [07:34] Flannel: I don't know...ubuntu said I had updates available so I clicked to install\ [07:34] harley, in that case you will already have java installed [07:34] told you I was new to this [07:34] i have pressed ctrl+c, but after i download something, it will continue back.. how come? [07:34] :( [07:34] Awesou Mole for MP# [07:34] arvind_khadri, well I'm not sure if you've heard of it. But I want to play a java based game. What java will I need? [07:35] ok.. it done. [07:35] JakPete: Ok, Lets take a step back, did you add something to try and get OOo 3? [07:35] harley, if you have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras java must be playing... i think you may need jdk too [07:35] harley, which game? [07:36] arvind_khadri, RuneScape [07:36] Flannel: I never added anything. As I see the icon appear up the top of ubuntu, i simply click and download the latest updates [07:36] Hey alot of this info is great [07:36] JakPete: Is this computer shared with other people? This might not have been today [07:36] greetings, how do i see what ports are open on my ubuntu system ? in FreeBSD I was used to sockstat -4l [07:36] no [07:36] harley, is it a online game or something [07:36] arvind_khadri, I have been playing it but it has been freezing a lot and down the bottom it said java applet failed, so I thought it may be due to java [07:37] F&^K Windows [07:37] arvind_khadri, yes a java based game. [07:37] !language | Ronald [07:37] Ronald: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [07:37] JakPete: Ok, so... in the past, you tried (perhaps succeeded) in adding a repository to allow you to get a newer OpenOffice.org? [07:37] Ronald, sorry [07:37] lost_and_unfound: I think you can use netstat with a suitable switch [07:37] arvind_khadri, and uses some kind of java applet, and it keeps failing on me [07:37] !language | ronsky [07:37] ronsky: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [07:38] harley, which ubuntu? [07:38] ronsky, you're welcome [07:38] hey it wasn't spelled correctley [07:38] ronsky, but even then :P [07:38] Flannel: I guess i may have. I am sorry to say that I never really take much notice, but just click update and let ubuntu do the work [07:38] arvind_khadri, 8.10 [07:39] lost_and_unfound, nmap perhaps? [07:39] harley, hmm.. no idea sorry... [07:39] does anybody else here possibly know why my java applet is failing? [07:40] harley, which version of java does it require? [07:40] some java apps only work with specific versions harley [07:40] JakPete: This wouldn't be something as simple as clicking the update button. That wouldn't have done this. But, alright. Somehow you added an unofficial repository, and thats what's causing the issues. Please pastebin the output of `apt-cache policy openoffice.org-core python-uno openoffice.org-writer` [07:40] MoLE_, I'm not sure [07:40] i just installed ubuntu 810 a few hours ago and just got my realtek usb drivers installed this is nice [07:40] Flannel: I can tell you when I first got unbuntu about two weeks or so ago i did download the newest open office myself and install it [07:40] harley, well this information would help you troubleshoot [07:40] MoLE_, I'd say the latest version :S It's a pretty big game [07:41] harley, maybe you should try iced-tea [07:41] arvind_khadri, iced-tea? [07:41] harley, is it an in-browser java applet? [07:41] !icedtea [07:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about icedtea [07:41] MoLE_, Yes [07:42] harley, URL? [07:42] MoLE_, www.runescape.com [07:42] Runescape is damnn awful [07:42] Kingsid3, I like it :) [07:43] MoLE_: ty much. problem solved. [07:43] nsgn: any luck? [07:43] Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/113930/ [07:43] harley, its also a java jre like the ones sun issue... [07:44] Fare play [07:44] arvind_khadri, So I need java jre? [07:44] JakPete: alright, try `sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-core` [07:44] harley, sudo apt-get install icedtea-java7-jdk [07:44] harley, ya you need jre [07:44] arvind_khadri, or iced tea? orr...? (I'm confused) :P [07:45] arvind_khadri, then should I download a jre version of icedtea? [07:45] Flannel: Install these packages without verification? [07:45] harley, first try with the sun-java jre's if its still crashing, then go for icedtea [07:46] JakPete: If you'd like, you can hit no and we can fix the verification problem, or we can hit yes and then fix the problem aftewards. [07:46] arvind_khadri, Okay, I'll have to wait for jdk to finish downloading firs [07:46] harley, ok... try once after the jdk is done too :) [07:47] arvind_khadri, Alright, thanks for your support :) [07:48] I want to undelete files on a FAT32 filesystem. What program should I use? [07:48] harley, np... [07:48] Flannel: Clicked yes and got this result - http://paste.ubuntu.com/113931/ [07:49] Can anyone help me? I installed Ubuntu on my external and I get Grub error 21 even when the external is pligged in [07:49] russia213, you need to re-install grub [07:49] !grub > russia213 [07:49] russia213, please see my private message [07:49] JakPete: Alright, do `sudo apt-get clean`, lets take care of the validation issue, and then lets reinstall OOo-core after that. [07:50] arvind: I did reinstall [07:50] intrepid here; does someone knows why googleearth goes soo slow? [07:50] russia213, the grub??

[07:53] arvind_khadri: Could you help me with that? [07:53] JakPete: it's just copy/paste, should be straightforward, but be sure to ask if you have questions. [07:53] Industrial: what garbage?

I installed 8.10 (32-bit) and i only see 3 gigs of ram. Can I just install a 64-bit kernel package in here rather than do a whole new ubuntu install?

[08:23] Mole: thanks! [08:23] I don't know how to do a backup [08:23] can I just risk it? [08:23] perhaps i should just dl the 64-bit version and go with it [08:23] Imaginativeone, I wouldn't [08:24] Flannel: [08:24] so, what do I do? just NOT partition the drives? [08:24] Flannel: ok. saved it [08:24] i do want to run 32-bit apps with wine though [08:24] Imaginativeone, you might want to investigate Clonezilla to solve your backup problem [08:24] Mole thanks VERY much!! [08:25] I will check that out [08:25] kevin_: one can create a 32bit chroot, though what would be better from a compatibility perspective would be to just run windows in a vm [08:25] Imaginativeone, you're welcome [08:25] Flannel: and completed the rest of the task [08:25] Imaginativeone, http://clonezilla.org [08:25] JakPete: alright, do sudo apt-get update again, (this time, you shouldn't have the authentication errors) and then try sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-core [08:25] i mostly want to run windows games though, so a vm is not an option. it came with vista, but vista is slow and i don't want to learn a new UI :) [08:25] I hope Clonezilla compresses... [08:26] I have to back up 600GB [08:26] Imaginativeone, it does [08:26] what are you backing up to Imaginativeone [08:27] dvd or hard drive Imaginativeone [08:27] Flannel: it said the following packages could not be authenticated. But, it is downloading now so that seems to be more than before [08:29] Mole: DVD [08:29] should I use CloneZilla live? [08:29] Imaginativeone, yes [08:30] let's see...600GB/4GB per DVD [08:30] 150 DVDs [08:30] ugh [08:30] imachine, cheaper to buy a portable hard drive [08:30] hello, does somebody knows how to create Ad-hoc network using NetworkManager?

[08:34] I wish I knew what "symlinking" is...

[08:58] andrew_: in software sources. Look in System > Administration > Software Sources [08:58] can I set up a local directory as a source in apt? [08:58] but this should be the only action this user can do with root privileges [08:58] rdz: check /etc/sudoers! It's the file for conmfiguring sudo [08:58] rdz, we advise you not to [08:58] rdz: "man sudoers" explains a lot [08:58] norbert79, yeah.. i nkow sudo and the /etc/sudoers, but i don't understand how to set it up for what i want [08:58] andrew_: and then where is says "Download From:" select other.

I mean can I make it look for packages in a directory where I have downloaded them before trying to download? [09:00] andrew_: you can increase the panel size or use a dock [09:00] andrew_: Avant-Window navigator is the one you are looking for [09:01] <_jester_> you guys know any soulseek client for terminal [09:01] MNZ: it's possible to use a cd as a repository.. so it ought to be possible to add a folder.. don't know how to do it though [09:01] norbert79, already the very beginning is very challenging... talking about the grammar of it [09:01] hi [09:01] rdz: It's pure english :) [09:01] MNZ: you can put them in /var/cache/apt but not sure if that will work === centos__ is now known as twager [09:02] I think the current directory will do [09:02] norbert79: I made a symplink iscan works perfektly, but the dependency-error is unpleasant, disturbs upgrade and further installation [09:02] linux-headers-2.6.24-23 causes a kernel panic on my Aspire One. if I remove the 24-23 headers via synaptic, will linux default to the 24-22 headers?

[09:03] Ravenor: I doubt the kernel headers are causing a kernel panic.. it's just text files..are you talking about the kernel? [09:03] rdz: No, I just Google a bit, or check SUDO's webpage :o) http://www.sudo.ws [09:03] Ravenor: you can pick the -22 kernel from grub, and have grub boot up to that by default [09:03] nicce 900kb/s now [09:03] Slart, No. as detailed here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/322867 Aspire One owners have gotten panics after installing the recent header update. [09:04] Ravenor: and no, you'll need the correct kernel headers for the kernel you're running [09:04] _jester_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=109142 [09:04] new zealand ftw [09:04] _jester_: museek, which works in tandem with museeq. personally, i think it kind of sucks, but check it out.

[09:04] ziroday, provided the kernel itself is still present on my computer (which I assume it is, as I'm using it. It just defaults to 24-23 right now, and I switch it in grub) [09:04] ziroday, correct? [09:05] Ravenor: read that page again.. it's probably the new *kernel* that is the problem [09:05] 1143kB/s! [09:05] Ravenor: correct. You can manually select -22 in grub when booting up. If that works you can have grub always use -22 [09:05] oh jeese.. that is way too much of a n overkilll.. [09:05] is there a good mp3 album manager for linux ? [09:06] sorry... but the sudoers man page is for people who spend their live trying to understand sudo [09:06] andrew_: as in? [09:06] andrew_: Well, Amarok is nice, but not exactly an album manager [09:06] like i could point it at a bunch of directories, and it'd list all the albums for me for easy clicking [09:06] nickrud: Are you still about? [09:06] nothin to fancy === dzup is now known as dzup-beback [09:06] hey guys why is it so hard to share a folder on my network ubuntu to vista? [09:06] norbert79, i don't wnat to start another religion.. i would like to just want a user to let execute one little script.. [09:06] Ravenor: but you can use the older kernel if you want.. and the older kernel headers will be used automatically..let them sort out the problems before you switch [09:07] rdz: I get you, don't worry... :) Check your privates [09:07] Slart, My bad. Me being stupid, I figured 24-23.48 was the only one I had. I'd need to find a way to roll back to 24-23.46, right? [09:07] How can I tell if my USB ports are working or not? [09:07] Slart, or be lazy and just use 22. [09:08] Ravenor: I would just stick with the second newest kernel and set that to default in grub [09:08] andrew_: something like rhythmbox? [09:08] nathanhelp: plug in a usb drive and see if anything happens? [09:08] Ravenor: they will probably release a new upgrade later when they've found out what is wrong [09:08] rdz: it's pretty easy, make a line 'user ALL = /etc/init.d/whatever' or '%group ALL = /etc/init.d/whatever' [09:08] or a mouse, or a kb [09:08] jtaji, thanks a lot [09:08] Slart, Right. My thanks.

[09:28] ActionParsnip2,i'm under 8.04 [09:28] L_Y, i had given you a link right? you just need to follow the instructions there...and replace the instances of interpid with hardy [09:28] about an hour an a half. [09:28] it would be done. [09:28] Slart, i tried batch converting and it gave me file finemane.ext is not a directory [09:29] ActionParsnip2: thanks, but that doesn't really help - I have no conflict on eth1, I'm just worried it's not being detected as wireless properly.. [09:29] shubbar: I never said you could use that straight away on several files at once [09:29] Bobblybook: it will help you rename it to wlan0 [09:29] L_Y, the one which ActionParsnip2 gave is the same which i gave, so just follow it and remember about changing the name [09:29] arvind_khadri,okay,i'll have a try [09:29] Bobblybook: i think (as you say) it doesnt matter [09:29] shubbar: what are you trying to do? [09:30] L_Y, sure..go ahead :) [09:30] Slart, batch convert some files with ext1 to ext2 [09:30] shubbar: my example was only for one file [09:31] ActionParsnip2: hmm Ok. iwconfig shows "unassociated" under access point.

I think there are a couple of utilities [09:32] <|tom|> its called Processing [09:32] Bobblybook: you could try manually populating /etc/network/interfaces to test [09:32] |tom|: the application is called "processing" ?

[09:40] gordonjcp: it works under win, it was an educated guess [09:41] Bobblybook: you need to run: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [09:41] ActionParsnip2, thanks, thats simpler so i just had to use & for the target [09:41] Peddyt: does it not show up again in nautilus? [09:42] hi all )) [09:42] ActionParsnip2, it doesn't unmount anything. It just lists (in the terminal) a list of devices and says 'device is busy'.

[09:56] is_null: move the whole dir if you're going to do that, and link to the dir [09:56] ActionParsnip2: Keyring and WPA seem to be working. Only problem is when I try to log in it seems to encrypt the key I enter and show me that when it fails to connect rather than the key I entered, which leads me to believe that it doesn't handle the key as it should. [09:57] I'll try that then: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo [09:58] Bummer I have to wait until I get home before I can give it a try.

I added the network in Network Connections -> Wireless, but no luck. Should it be finding the network automatically? [10:11] hi. I just used the 'Hipo' ipod software, any now my ipod shows no music, yet Hipo still shows it all there. Any ideas? [10:11] why is there no libXxf86dga.so in ia32-libs ? [10:12] how to remove completely pidgin files [10:13] abhi__: sudo apt-get remove --purge pidgin ought to do it [10:13] Bobblybook: if you rename the interfaces file you editted and reboot you will have no network config which may help, you wil get a blank config which you can resetup [10:13] thanks dude [10:13] biomass: afaik not all libraries are made available in ia32-libs.. perhaps they didn't see a reason to include it [10:14] Slart: yeah most likely I guess, too bad its the only library i need to get this 32bit app running =) [10:14] - connect irc.oftc.com [10:15] biomass: you can't compile it yourself? or get the 32-bit library from packages.ubuntu.com ? [10:15] sorry [10:15] ActionParsnip2: Ok, how would I do that? [10:15] Hello, I'm back. Does anyone know how to override the refusal of x64 Ubuntu to install i386-i686 packages. [10:16] ruediix: you can use dpkg with a force option.. but think twice before doing it [10:16] Hi [10:16] Slart: that's my next step I guess =) is there a way to use a 32bit package and get it properly installed in /usr/lib32 ? [10:16] Bobblybook: sudo mv /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces_old [10:16] Slart, Yes, always check that you have the compatability libraries installed. [10:16] wer spricht deutsch? [10:16] biomass: I don't know really.. I've never had to do it myself [10:17] ActionParsnip2: Thanks, rebooting.

[10:18] Slart they should make the compatability libraries package add i386 as a supported architecture. [10:18] can i configure ubuntu so that if a user creates a file in a specific directory the permissions are set to GROUP1 and if they create a file in another directory it will be set to GROUP2? [10:18] biomass: ah.. looks interesting.. please let us know if it worked [10:18] Briareos1, i think you want to set the group sticky bit [10:19] fw1 what does that do? [10:19] is that possible?? [10:19] hello guys. question: is it normal the system monitor gnome applet to indicate almost 100% network usage when i do nothing? i have a hardy installation at work - never happens there. intrepid installation at home - never happens when i do something. as i stop (nearly fresh installation, with everything closed) the network indicator goes at almost 100%. is there a daemon in intrepid which does that? [10:19] shital: take a look at aptoncd, it might be helpful [10:19] ok fine [10:20] RaverWild: I think it sets maximum to whatever max activity has been.. so if you're not using the network it would stay very high [10:21] ActionParsnip2: OK, I have no interface file now, but my wired and wireless connections are still saved [10:21] Briareos1: change the group owner of the directory, and then chmod the directory setgid, i.e. chgrp group1 directory1 && chmod g+s directory1 [10:21] hi. I just used the 'Hipo' ipod software, any now my ipod shows no music, yet Hipo still shows it all there. Any ideas? [10:21] Bobblybook: ok now fire up your connection manager software and setup [10:23] Slart: it worked =) only problem I noticed was that it referred to its own man page which wasn't available. [10:24] biomass: ah.. I can live without a man page as long as it works =) [10:26] how can i get ubuntu to stop messing with ctrl alt f1 [10:26] it grabs it and pulls me back to X [10:27] when something goes wrong this prevents me from fixing [10:27] it [10:27] jtaji cool! it even works via samba :) ... but now i got the problem that files created via the file system get the permissions -rw-r--r-- .... but i'd need -rw-rw---- instead [10:27] and its another example of the computer trying to tell me what i want === mike is now known as Guest91865 [10:27] scientes: how do you mean, it pulls you back to X? [10:27] try it [10:28] ctrl-alt-f1 [10:28] you have to do it twice [10:28] scientes: ah.. ok.. I've always blamed nvidia for that... for a while it didn't work at all [10:28] Briareos1: the umask needs to be changed from 022 to 002, you can set it for the file system in /etc/fstab [10:28] Briareos1: with a umask=002 option [10:28] why would nvidia grab my keystrokes [10:28] it pisses me off cause a few times X has frozen and i cant fix it [10:29] scientes: I think it was a bug in the nvidia driver when switching to "text mode" [10:29] makes me want to turn ssh on so i can remote log in and fix it [10:29] so if i use the framebufer driver i wont have it? [10:29] jtaji hmm okay so it's not possible directory-specific? [10:29] cause i hve witnessed the same problem with the framebuffer [10:30] scientes: I have no idea.. I have ssh server enabled for fixing things =) [10:30] Briareos1: I don't think so.. but it won't hurt with ubuntu, since the default is to use private groups (group with same name as user) [10:31] jtaji yeah i just about it - furtunately everything i want to have that permission is on one and the same partition anyway. thanks a lot! [10:31] Briareos1: I'm wrong... [10:32] Briareos1: you can set the umask in ~/.profile or /etc/profile [10:32] is it possible to install ubuntu on a software raid? [10:33] Briareos1: for all users change the umask at the end of /etc/profile, or use the individual users .profile [10:33] is it possible to add the locally saved .iso image to the synaptic package Manager?? [10:34] cappiz: yes.. using the alternate install cd or using other tricks [10:34] !alternate | cappiz [10:34] cappiz: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [10:34] Briareos1: and I bet there's a way to do it per directory that I'm not aware of [10:34] jtaji nice [10:35] is that possible? [10:35] Briareos1: ok maybe not per dir :p [10:41] shital: you could mount it using loop device and update from it after you add it as a repo [10:42] jtaji actually i needed umask 006 ;) [10:42] ActionParsnip2: even then there is no way to add right? [10:42] shital: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [10:42] shital: that tells you you can mount the iso [10:43] jtaji ehm 007 i mean [10:43] jtaji no license to kill for "others" [10:45] morning [10:46] hey everyone [10:46] I just upgraded to intrepid, and now my nvidia-glx-96 driver isn't working.

[11:13] ziroday`: that will create an iso, which we need to burn and then add to SPM, but i have all packages locally saved [11:14] ziroday`: I installed to nvidia driver, ran nvidia-xconfig, and restarted gdm. why would vesa still be active? [11:14] I'm having problem finding driver for Konica Minolta bizhub 163. Can someone help me? [11:14] now good folks i think i am leaving now [11:14] shad_: right. You shouldn't have to configure anything. In a terminal run lspci and then go to pastebin.com and copy the output and paste it in the site and hit send. Then pass the url on to us. [11:14] ziroday`: thanks [11:14] my head is swirling [11:14] i dont want any extra things like CD and all [11:14] Bi-Man: Bye! [11:14] TecnaTranux: do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

[11:15] TecnaTranux: any chance you can pastebin that too please? [11:15] ActionParsnip2 E: Could not find package TCL-devel [11:16] Konica Minolta bizhub 163 (copy, scaner, printer), does anybody know where can I find drivers? [11:16] ziroday, http://pastebin.com/m5719ec00 [11:16] crekarasu: its lower case [11:16] shad_: thanks! [11:16] ziroday, is it possible to do that with a device that's not mounted? [11:16] crekarasu: linux is hugely case sensitive so you cant just throw in caps when you feel [11:16] ziroday: I had a feeling... :) [11:16] Peddy: well then you would just need to mount it? [11:17] tparcina: try here: http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=KONICA_MINOLTA-bizhub_163 [11:17] shad_: I can't see a camera in there. Is it connected via usb? [11:17] ziroday, would that umount disconnect power and everything to it? Is it even possible for software to close down power to a single USB port? [11:17] quibbler: thank you for link, I'll check it right now [11:17] ActionParsnip2 yes E: Could not find package tcl-devel [11:17] Peddy: not sure sorry. [11:17] crekarasu: apt-cache search tcl | grep -i dev [11:17] crekarasu: you need the dev package for tcl [11:17] yes [11:18] ziroday, thanks for your help, it's just my device is not 'mountable', it doesn't have a filesystem on it. [11:18] *facepalm!* Why didn't I notice this before?? xorg.conf is missing ALOT!! [11:18] Peddy: you can still see it with sudo fdisk -l [11:18] TecnaTranux: thats normal [11:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/113988/ [11:18] TecnaTranux: however you might have to define that is needs to use the nvidia driver [11:18] TecnaTranux: in intrepid its very minimal as HAL controls a lot now [11:19] TecnaTranux: looks ok [11:19] ActionParsnip2 http://paste.ubuntu.com/113990/ [11:19] TecnaTranux: okay you've told it to use the nvidia driver. Did you just edit that? [11:19] thanks for your help ziroday [11:19] no [11:19] TecnaTranux: all right. Does nvidia-settings open without errors? [11:19] crekarasu: 4th line has: tcl-dev - The Tool Command Language (default version) - development files [11:20] no. I already said that is gives me, "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. " [11:20] crekarasu: you need one of those. I'd suspect one of the top 10 [11:20] I followed those instructions, and it didn't help [11:20] how do you increate the volume is there a setting for that becuase my laptop doesn't get very loud at all i can barely hear it [11:20] TecnaTranux: okay, have you tried restarting your xserver? [11:20] TecnaTranux: did you restart x after running sudo nvidia-xconfig? [11:20] there is a multimedia button to turn up volume mayber there is a master volume setting [11:21] jedi06: there should be a volume icon someplace which you can crank with [11:21] yes. please note "(2009-02-05 10:56:06) TecnaTranux: brb, restarting x server" [11:21] so i can turn it up louder [11:21] jedi06: try opening the gnome mixer by right clicking on the volume and then make sure PCM and Front are near max [11:21] ActionParsnip2 What should I do now? I know very well with Linux [11:21] TecnaTranux: sorry I didn't see that :) [11:21] ok that was it thanks [11:22] but what I notice missing is that there is a second device (not in use) that should be configured. [11:22] crekarasu: read the readme in your source or the website from where you got the source, it will tell you whats required [11:23] what is the diff in pcm and from [11:23] front [11:23] ActionParsnip2 required tclConfig.sh but I installel tcl-dev ... and it works ! [11:23] jedi06: they are just volume settings. Make sure they're at max [11:23] crekarasu: awesome [11:23] yes what do they stand for [11:23] crekarasu: you said it couldnt find it before.... [11:24] jedi06: well Front is just the front speakers, and pcm is part of the output. [11:24] ActionParsnip2 i resolved the problem! tank you [11:24] ActionParsnip2 how to install gmake? [11:24] crekarasu: ahh it was dev, not devel [11:24] ok thanks [11:24] yes ActionParsnip2 dev not devel ;) [11:24] crekarasu: sudo apt-get install build-essential [11:25] Can someone with a eee pc 900 and a working internal mic check their values in volumemixer? [11:25] ziroday: This is my xorg.conf from before I upgraded: http://paste.ubuntu.com/113992/ [11:25] ActionParsnip2 and "build-essential" is gmake? [11:25] note the sis device [11:26] askand: also sorry, #eeepc and #debian-eeepc on irc.oftc.net are great places to ask too :). Sorry forgot about them before [11:26] should I restore the old xorg.conf? [11:26] crekarasu: no it will install a whole environment for compiling including a lot of libs that compiling takes [11:26] TecnaTranux: err I don't think the nvidia drivers support cards that old [11:26] ok ActionParsnip2 tanks ! [11:27] ziroday, what do you mean? [11:27] TecnaTranux: do you have a Geforce 2? [11:27] yes [11:27] TecnaTranux: the nvidia drivers don't support that. Nv might [11:27] ziroday: thanks found the error now, stupid pulseaudio [11:27] TecnaTranux: there's your problem :) [11:27] askand: awesome! [11:28] how do I install nv? [11:28] TecnaTranux: are you using nvidia-glx-71 [11:28] TecnaTranux: supports all the way down to RIVA TNT [11:28] ActionParsnip2: let me check synaptic [11:28] TecnaTranux: you need to sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-71 [11:29] TecnaTranux: just use that command, synaptic takes forever [11:29] ActionParsnip2: oh really? Cause from nvidia.com they don't support past Geforce 4 [11:29] ziroday: read it yourself; https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/i386/nvidia-glx-71/71.86.04-0ubuntu5 [11:29] quibbler: I have followed the instructions but it doesn't seem like the driver is installed [11:30] ziroday: I had the device working once before I downgraded. [11:30] ActionParsnip2: never doubted ya :). Sweet never realised that thanks! [11:30] ziroday: I dont use the nvidia site. I always use off repos so upgrades are smooth [11:30] quibbler: first I have installed lsb package, then I have installed that package that I have downloaded from that web page - openprinting-ppds-postscript-konica-minolta_20081112-1lsb3.2_all.deb [11:30] ziroday: but yeah its rocked in that driver :) [11:31] I was using glx-96 before the downgrade to hardy, but there was a glitch that scrambled text in wine [11:31] quibbler: and when I try ti set up new printer, in the list there is KONICA MINOLTA, but inside KONICA MINOLTA there isn't my model [11:32] Knoica Minolta bizhub 163, can anyone help me with driver installation? [11:32] tparcina: try dpkg -x ./openprinting-ppds-postscript-konica-minolta_20081112-1lsb3.2_all.deb [11:32] tparcina: is there a model close to yours? [11:32] tparcina: and find the ppd file [11:32] I have tried driver from this web page, but id desn't seem to work (or I have done something wrong - http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=KONICA_MINOLTA-bizhub_163) [11:32] tparcina: that will extract the data from the deb === dzup-beback is now known as dzup [11:33] ActionParsnip2: I have tried that one, and it seams that I have installed that package corectly, but when I try to set up the printer I can see KONICA MINOLTA, but inside KONICA MINOLTA I don't see my model [11:34] ah, yes... I now remember why I stopped trying to use glx-71 [11:34] tparcina: what model is it? [11:34] it removes nvidia-xconfig [11:34] TecnaTranux: then use your old xorg.conf and then its not needed ;) [11:35] I was in the middle of renaming and copy/pasting it just now [11:35] :) [11:35] great minds eh [11:36] tparcina: did you read the how to install here: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/Database/DriverPackages [11:36] (I always have to rewrite something in xorg.conf whenever I run nvidia-xconfig, anyway [11:36] ActionParsnip2: I have extracted that deb package, but it seamse that there is no 163 model [11:37] ActionParsnip2: Can I use some other model driver? [11:37] tparcina: well just try one of the others, one in the same range should be fine [11:37] ActionParsnip2: it's Konica Minolta bizhub 163 [11:37] tparcina: like a 162 or 164 [11:37] ActionParsnip2 can help me to install gmake ? build-essential it`s already installed and updated [11:37] just 16* [11:37] crekarasu: sudo apt-get install gmake [11:37] quibbler: yes, I have followed those instructions [11:38] crekarasu: or try: apt-cache search gmake [11:38] gmake no found [11:38] crekarasu: if you dont have a package you can apt-cache search for it [11:38] ActionParsnip2 root@florin-desktop:/var/tmp/postgresql-8.1.13# apt-cache search gmake [11:38] cfgstoragemaker - MRTG config generator for storage monitoring via SNMP [11:38] ActionParsnip2: there is no 162, 164 or any 16* [11:39] tparcina: any others from te 160 range?

Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org [14:08] notsi: just ask a question, someone will answer if they know [14:08] Praveen: I'd run chkrootkit and read the google hits for "ls: unrecognized prefix: do" as some of them are quite detailed (for example: http://www.jiny.kr/jiny/tag/365 ) If you do have some sort of rootkit, then I'd just reinstall (and be more careful with ssh and whatever other services you run).
