[00:00] kjell, ikonia, thanks [00:00] andrew__: show me ls -la on the stdio.h [00:00] Frijolie: sorry there isn't always a gui way to do it :-( I'm frustrated with that often myself - on fresh Ubuntu installs I add myself to the 'users' group and set that as my default, all new users I also add, if you aren't using multiple then you can ignore the :yourgroup and just do sudo chown -R yourusername ./media [00:00] ikonia: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31053 Jan 9 14:08 stdio.h [00:00] is there a suggested way to handle groups, I have 30+ pre populated groups in here... [00:00] as a normal user, i can read the files fine [00:01] isn't it smarter--security wise--to have fewer groups? [00:01] and to compile you shouldnt need write permissions on headers [00:01] andrew__: look inside stdio.h see what else it references, one of the files it's referencing [00:01] andrew__: one of the files it's referecing must have the wrong permissions [00:01] Frijolie: It depends on what you want to do. If you want to restrict people from using commands etc. it's wise to have groups for that. [00:01] Frijolie: lots of applications and services have their own groups, each has very limited permissions - it's actually fine and necessary by the default install to have quite a lot [00:01] W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used.GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 60D11217247D1CFF [00:01] what does that mean? [00:02] owner_: The public key is not available. [00:02] freazer, kjell, so one user may be a member of multiple groups--to handle access/permissions to various applications [00:02] it said something about a synaptic app already being open also but thre isn't one [00:02] how can I see what is running other than on the taskbar? [00:02] owner_: in the terminal run ps -a [00:03] Does anyone know how to open sda1 (ntfs) in xubuntu? [00:03] (live cd) [00:03] owner_: or ps -e [00:03] hi all, installed ubuntu 8.10 on Dell Inspiron 1501 with 1gb ram. It is using open source video driver, but I see under restricted drivers there is an ATI/AMD proprietary driver. Should I use this? Will it work better? What do you recommend? [00:03] owner_: if you want to filter it you can run ps -e | grep firefox [00:03] owner_: to retrieve firefox in the list [00:03] My home ubuntu box is have IP from DHCP pool by ISP. How can i keep knowing my IP even if the address changed.... I main want to ip to telnet ? [00:04] Mba7eth: run ifconfig in terminal [00:04] it says [00:04] PID TTY TIME CMD [00:04] 7284 pts/1 00:00:00 ps [00:04] owner_: only that? if you ran ps -e? [00:04] Mba7eth: I recommend dyndns.org or some other dynamic utility - you can get a URL like Mba7eth.dyndns.org that will always point to your computer - there are tools that can run as a service on your ubuntu machine that will keep that website up to date [00:05] freazer: can you mention a tool plzzz :) [00:05] Frijolie: FYI there are three tiers to file access, user level, group level, and "other"=everyone - there's rwx for each r=read, w=write, x=execute(as in programs) - yes users can be apart of multiple groups, but I think files can only be associated with a single group - if you only want to backup on your current account it's fine to change the ownership of that media folder to just your username, but leave the group as root (whic [00:06] ok it all kinds of stuff, what am I looking for? [00:06] owner_: I don't know? Why do you want to see the processes? [00:06] owner_: Do you want to terminate a process or something? [00:06] it said I couldn't authentic or update because a synaptic app was already running [00:07] owner_: It's not? [00:07] maybe a synaptic process, but I don't see it anywhere [00:07] Mba7eth: I use ddclient http://ddclient.wiki.sourceforge.net/ to update - it has support for a number of dynamic dns websites -- dyndns.org is currently annoying me because it e-mails me once a month when my IP doesn't change [00:07] owner_: It could be like, apt-get aswell I think. [00:07] so, it would not be safe to delete all of these groups besides root and user? [00:07] owner_: Has synaptic finished uncleanly? Have you got any installations using other apt-based methods running? [00:07] freazer: thanks [00:08] yeah [00:08] Frijolie: I'd advice against it ^^ - trust Ubuntu to be setup the way it needs to be [00:08] owner_: make sure all apt-get's and so on is finished installing. [00:08] hw? [00:08] ikonia: ok all my libs / headers have exactly the same permissions, but i have noticed that stdio.h includes a few files that exist in subfolders of the include directory but arent specified like that in the stdio.h file (surely that would mess things up for all users even root? if it was a problem?) [00:08] HOW [00:08] caps [00:09] hi all, installed ubuntu 8.10 on Dell Inspiron 1501 with 1gb ram. It is using open source video driver, but I see under restricted drivers there is an ATI/AMD proprietary driver. Should I use this? Will it work better? What do you recommend? [00:09] mba7eth: It has been my experience though that after pointing a domain to my box the number of port scans and brute force attack attempts increase. Be sure to have a good firewall running and you may want to concider port knocking on remote access servers like ssh. [00:09] Dante123: I would use it. [00:09] anyone has problems with Marvel 88E8056 cards under 8.10 [00:09] andrew_: the only reason you should be having that issue is that your lib or important .h headers were not setup as rx-r--r-- (the important thing being that 3rd r in the 7th dash position) [00:09] i think the latest kernel broke something [00:10] How can I browse a ntfs patition on a live cd? [00:10] kjell-how to make sure all apt-get's finished? [00:10] its completely messed up [00:10] freezer, well all my libs and headers have those permissions [00:10] Dante123: By not using propertary software is for some people an ideology question. [00:10] freazer, I don't remember Ubuntu prompting me for which group I preferred to be in during install [00:10] freazer, do they just create a new group by your username and set that as your default? [00:10] owner_: I don't know. Check your terminals and so on. If you don't find anything I think you will be back on track faster if you just do a reboot. [00:10] moonwatcher: any particular kind of "completely messed up" or just _completely_ messed up (ie, the driver files are garbled. [00:11] kjell-good point, thx [00:11] BlueEagle: well its refusing to function at 1Gb [00:11] Frijolie: yes -- it defaults to user -- because you can gksu or sudo to obtain root access. [00:11] owner_: no problem, good luck! [00:11] even when lshw says it does [00:11] moonwatcher: But it does work at lower speeds? [00:11] owner_: no problem, good luck! [00:11] Frijolie: yes ^^ I always chown my own /home/usern folder to the :users group and then reassign myself to that and delete the group that ubuntu created for just my username - we're getting pretty side tracked tho.. did changing the owner of your media drive away from root work for rsync? [00:12] and the little thingy near the clock (network manager or something) claims its "not managed" [00:12] redvamp128, I know about the sudo/gksudo to gain root privileges but was wondering what default group you're placed in [00:12] BlueEagle: yes it gives me 2MB/s [00:12] moonwatcher: That is the case when the device is defined in your interfaces. [00:12] msg nickserv identify [00:12] Frijolie: User (but is a group with your user name) [00:12] freazer, yeah I did change owner/group to : [00:13] BlueEagle: maybe i can pasebin some stuff instead of tryign to explain in lame words? [00:13] Frijolie: I'm reading that rsync runs as "nobody" but default and that you might - I'd definately check the config preferences for it if you are still having issues [00:13] redvamp128, oh I just changed to the "user" group and deleted my group [00:13] guys [00:13] What is the operating sysem os x ? [00:13] redvamp128, for my personal account [00:13] BlueEagle: its an ASUS P5B Deluxe with latest BIOS, has 2 onboard NICs [00:14] Cody: proprietary macintosh os x, I don't think you can buy it separately without buying a mac - despite that it runs on Intel architecture now [00:14] I'm trying to install linux graphics drivers for my intel 965g card. I am looking at this site, can someone help me... http://intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html [00:14] BlueEagle: http://pastebin.com/m4d066925 [00:14] moonwatcher: Well, first off one would have to try to figure out what you would pastebin. And since you're refering to the network-manager-applet as "the little thing near the clock" we'll need to get the basics straight first. [00:15] freazer: I have a slight problem. I want my router to find wireless networks and not my computer. How do i do that? [00:15] BlueEagle: we dont need to go all the way to basics [00:15] i have a CS degree from a respectable Uni :) [00:15] and about 3 years of linux [00:15] freazer: ive even gone to the legnths now of chmod all the files in my include directory to 644 (except folders) to make sure they are all correct, and still getting errors when compiling as users but not when as root [00:15] its just that this always worked out of the box, never got around ro dealing with it [00:16] i mean networking [00:16] moonwatcher: what exactly isn't working? [00:16] kde 4.2 rocks [00:16] moonwatcher: You've used linux for three years and you still don't know what the network manager applet is called? o.0 [00:16] jrib: His gigabit nic only puts trough 2 MiB/s [00:16] BlueEagle: its always there near the clock, i never gave it much attention :) [00:17] jrib: I am figuring cable or an interface in between not handling gigabit. [00:17] besides, most of the time i worked either on OpenWrt or a HUGE debian cluster [00:17] moonwatcher: Well I'm glad that degree of yours is coming handy. :) [00:17] My computer is what finds wireless connections. Is there a way to connect to a wireless connection from my router and not my computer? [00:17] BlueEagle: it worked igabit just before the last kernel bump [00:18] http://intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html [00:18] anyway, i seriously doubt its doing gigabit [00:18] i think its 100TX [00:18] Sooo anyone have experience installing linux graphics drivers? [00:18] the led is orange [00:18] moonwatcher: Well, that would have been helpful to know before I started to figure out how to debut the cabling and other interfaces. Have you tried downgrading the kernel= [00:18] i think it shoudl be green when on 1000 [00:18] ? [00:18] hi [00:19] Cody: so your computer is plugged into your router via an ethernet cable, and you want to somehow configure your wireless-capable router to connect to another wireless source rather than be a broadcast service? virtually all of your router configuration will be by accessing it's website via it's ip address from a machine connected directly to it in some way - do I understand the problem statement at least? [00:19] BlueEagle: i tried booting a livecd of 8.10 desktop (the system is now on server) [00:19] BlueEagle: on the livecd i got about 12MB/s [00:19] which is still not really gigabit but is more likely [00:20] moonwatcher: So then it's a kernel configuration issue. I assume you're able to roll your own kernel after 3 years of linux and a uni degree, right? [00:20] BlueEagle: not sure :) [00:20] i never went back to an older kernel i am afraid [00:20] BrettS: if you're in Ubuntu you've already tried System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers and confirmed that the proprietary ones aren't already detected? have you gone into Software Sources and enabled the restricted and multiverse repositories? [00:21] is it simply a matter of removing the package and putting in the older one? [00:21] oh wait [00:21] moonwatcher: I see. Well, then the best advice I can give you is to bugreport the kernel issue and downgrade to the previous kernel package unless there are updates in there that you really, really need. [00:21] i also installed the tainted Nvidia drivers [00:21] not sure if thats related [00:21] freazer: I didnt understand how you put that. My computer is plugged into nothing. IT picks up internet connections by itself. [00:21] moonwatcher: It should not be, but since it's closed source one can never be sure. [00:22] freazer: I want the internet connection to go through my router not directly to my computer. [00:22] How do i do that? [00:22] moonwatcher: But since that driver is only a module for the kernel it should not affect other parts of it. [00:22] hello [00:22] BlueEagle: would you say those Marvel drivers are easly broken? [00:22] mauro: hi [00:23] at some point i though maybe putting in a an Intel PCI-E card woudl be a less painful solution [00:23] what do i need to setup ntfs support for linux? [00:23] BrettS: google is telling me your card is aready supported from Ubuntu 7.04 onwards - intel 965g http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=430277 [00:23] moonwatcher: Never had a marvel card so I would not know. I also have to little knowledge of the overall implimentation of the module code to know how robust it is against broken modules. [00:23] well, why is it that I cannot run compiz, that it says missing XGL and xorg etc etc etc [00:24] BlueEagle: those marvel cards are very common onboard cards [00:24] adubz: look for a package in Synaptic similar to ntfstools - it will allow you to do all sorts of crazy things like resizing NTFS partitions - just be careful! backup your data beforehand just in case [00:24] on asus boards anyway [00:24] moonwatcher: Just out of curiousity: Did you configure the network card in /etc/network/interfaces ? [00:24] How do I restart my Apache server? [00:24] I forgot [00:24] Cody: why did you ask about os x? is that what you're using? [00:24] sherlawkdragon1: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [00:24] it's like Apache-Restart or something [00:24] thanks [00:24] i just want to be able to read/write to ntfs drives [00:24] BlueEagle: no, but i woudl actually feel more comfortable with that then with the "little thingy near the clock" :) [00:25] sherlawkdragon1: you may want to just use 'reload' if you just updated some configs. [00:25] freazer: On the belkin software install cd it did not include Linux so i was wondering what that was. [00:25] when it says the group is "1000" what does that mean? [00:25] Im using ubuntu and the software install cd doesnt work. [00:26] moonwatcher: Well if the driver supports it you could attempt to force it to 1G instead of 100M (or even 10M if that's what it's running) [00:26] Cody: Ubuntu wireless drivers is a little tricky and not all wireless cards are supported - can you give me the full name of your wireless card? Belkin --- ? [00:26] freazer: That is the groupid. try this: cat /etc/group |grep 1000 [00:27] freazer: That should hopefully show the name that belongs to gid 1000 [00:27] can I turn gnome-panels off? [00:27] freazer: (most likely the first user defined) [00:27] i can see the drive how would i mount it [00:28] Frijolie: in GNOME I go System -> Administrator -> Users and Groups and I see my own group has a group ID# of 1000, if you deleted it that's probably what's left over ^^; I tried to warn you to chown the group of your files over to a different group before you deleted, where exactly are you seeing the group ID 1000 ? [00:28] kholerabbi: right click the panel and select "Delete panel" [00:28] BlueEagle: I didn't ask that but you beat me to the right answer ^^ thanks much [00:29] BlueEagle: http://pastebin.com/m176d59e7 [00:29] freazer, cd /media/disk;ls -l [00:29] freazer: Happy tab-complete-day. [00:29] moonwatcher: What does lspci say about your nic? [00:29] freazer: Maybe im not putting this rite ist my fault. MY network control is broadcom bcm4311 802.11b/g WLAN (internal) and thats whats picks up the internet connection. I want the Belkin router to find the connection and connect to it. [00:29] moonwatcher: That's `lspci|grep Ethernet` if you need the command. :) [00:30] BlueEagle: http://pastebin.com/m7c5af378 [00:30] oops [00:30] how can I know which compilation parameters AND "./configure" (if applicable) parameters were used when compiling a package? [00:30] BlueEagle: http://pastebin.com/m309dbaf [00:30] !source > sav [00:30] sav, please see my private message [00:30] sav: read debian/rules from the source package [00:31] ,,,,,,,, [00:31] cool [00:31] thanks [00:31] mod_security is killing my inner child, is anyone fairly up-to-date with it by chance? (i've tried in #apache):P [00:32] moonwatcher: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/811253?page=last [00:32] Hmm... [00:33] moonwatcher: There seems to be a known issue with rev 12. [00:33] Cody: have you read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=779754 - its a thread that details exactly how to do get your card to work [00:33] BlueEagle: its hooked up to a Netgear GS105 switch btw and two other Macs hooked up to it talk 1Gb fine... [00:33] when I go to localhost with firefox, Apache gives me an Access Denied error [00:33] moonwatcher: But that post is from '07 and does not explain the downgrade from the latest kernel update. [00:34] What might the problem be? [00:34] moonwatcher: Then you may want to check your cabling tbh. Especially if the router indicates it doesn't run at 1G. (Did it indicate that when running from the live cd?) [00:35] the switch said 100 [00:35] well it does now [00:35] said 1000 on the livecd [00:35] cables are fine i am quite sure [00:35] !enter | moonwatcher [00:35] moonwatcher: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:35] ciao a tutti [00:35] Cody: and just to clarify, I don't think routers find and connect to computers - routers are small booklet sized devices that provide ethernet porns and/or broadcast a wireless service to nearby devices - you have a much better chance of configuring a computer than a router - if you're here in this channel I'm assuming this is a new computer installation and not a new router - if the router is new you might need to configure it to [00:35] !it | albe [00:35] albe: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

Well, then everything points to the drivers in the kernel. === jgoguen_ is now known as jgoguen [00:37] cphillips: thanks but what I was wanting was to disable gnome-panels (as in the whole shibang) from starting up..

Is there an access thing I need to set? [00:37] BlueEagle: would that be something that is resolved at some point or should i just get a PCI-E NIC? [00:38] the machine is a server for the other 3 Mac boxes in the house and having the link so slow is a bumer === Guest43439 is now known as jgoguen [00:39] moonwatcher: it's gibabit ethernet and you're only getting 2 MBytes/sec ? [00:39] alright [00:39] who here has been logging this channel the longest [00:39] freazer: well its obviously faulty [00:40] and where can I access those logs [00:40] I just installed gnome-do from the repo linked to in their wiki, but there's no docky. Any ideas? [00:40] what would be a good, ubuntu suppported, PCI-E NIC? intel? [00:40] !1984 > sagredo [00:40] sagredo, please see my private message [00:40] moonwatcher: Well, if you report the regression as a bug then it ought to be fixed. And unless there are any important security fixes in the latest kernel and no new features you really need then it should be no harm in downgrading. [00:40] when I go to localhost with firefox, Apache gives me an Access Denied error. Why might I get this problem? Is there some access thing I need to set? [00:40] yurimxpxman: What version of Ubuntu are you using, and is it 32-bit or 64-bit? [00:40] moonwatcher: That said, using tried and tested hardware is never a bad idea.

[00:41] !ot > sagredo [00:41] sagredo, please see my private message [00:41] moonwatcher: how are the hard disk drivers configured? I thought even SATA150/300 drives could only seriously sustain 20~50 MB/sec ? getting a PCI-E card seems like it would be overkill, but I just might be completely wrong about the transfer speeds [00:41] BlueEagle: which hardware would be "tried and tested" ? [00:41] sagredo, general chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [00:42] where are translations files in the system for ubiquity? [00:42] yurimxpxman: The latest version of gnome-do in the ~do-core PPA for Hardy is 0.6.1, which I don't think has docky. Intrepid and Jaunty have 0.8.0. [00:42] moonwatcher: I've never had any trouble with RealTek gb nics. Have got no experience with Intel nics. [00:43] rww: so I'm gonna have to build it myself, then? [00:43] moonwatcher: I guess looking at different products and comparing how many people complain would be a good indicator. [00:43] BlueEagle: i had bad expriece with realtek :) [00:43] on occasions... [00:43] moonwatcher: I think I'm old ^^ PCI still feels cutting edge to me, but with a peak transfer of 133 MB/sec I'm sure it can saturate a gigabit ethernet capable router [00:43] moonwatcher: gigabit or the older nics? [00:43] So I'm thinking about getting a new 1TB hard drive for my vanilla ubuntu 8.10 media server. Any suggestions? I know I should avoid the Seagate but what about another manufacturer? [00:43] gigabit [00:44] junglist_: Western Digital Green (WD10EADS) [00:44] that whole "gigabit card refusing to do gigabit" story is not a first for me [00:44] moonwatcher: Well then I guess NICs just don't like you much. :p Anyways, that's all the advice I've got for you. :/ [00:44] junglist_: it's the quietest and most power-efficient drive that silentpcreview.com has *ever* tested [00:44] :) [00:44] <_VIM_> junglist_: what's wrong with Seagate? [00:44] yurimxpxman: That might work, but you'd also have to get a newer version of Mono, 'cause the one that ships with hardy is too old (hence the PPA not having do 0.8 for Hardy) [00:44] BlueEagle: ill try downgrading the kernel and see what happnes [00:44] _VIM_: firmware problems have been bricking their drives lately [00:44] be back in a few [00:45] <_VIM_> ah [00:45] when I go to localhost with firefox, Apache gives me an Access Denied error.

[00:51] andrew_: If you're still listening I highly recommend you apt-get reinstall build-essential -- possibly even uninstalling it via purge [00:51] i just dont want too [00:51] tritium: you didn't mention the compiler name, and I was most of the way through typing anyway ;) [00:51] UndertakerX2: g++ [00:51] UndertakerX2: that will install more than just g++, many of the packages that are considered "essential" for development [00:51] how do you mount a thumbdrive with fs type named [00:51] tritium: thanks again [00:51] guys, i'm installing a ubuntu...

[00:52] skeletal: do you mean how much space you should partition for swap? [00:52] kazagistar: Jaunty support is in #ubuntu+1, not here. Thanks :) [00:52] skeletal: rule of thumb is about 2X your ram, or 2GB, whichever is less. [00:52] anyone [00:52] i running from ubuntu server... [00:52] rww: sorry, thank you! [00:52] skeletal: somewhere between 512MB and 1GB. [00:53] dirki: is this a new thumb drive that's empty? or have you already used it on other computers? [00:53] gui for changing hostname? [00:53] anyone? [00:53] zaapiel: easier to type [00:53] I have 512M of memory. Then how many for swap?

[00:53] humor me [00:53] How many I need for swap? [00:54] skeletal: we told you above [00:54] skeletal: as we've already said, between 1x and 2x your RAM. So in your case, 512MB to 1GB. If you want a number, not a range, go with 1GB. [00:54] tritium: i already ahd build esentials installed, but when i try to install vmware tools on ubuntu server i cant get past the part that says i need a c++ compiler installed [00:54] zaapiel: So when you go System -> Administration -> Networking (General Tab) you can normally change your computer name [00:55] UndertakerX2: please type "g++ --version", to verify you have it installed. [00:55] zaapiel: But I'm running a clean install of Ubuntu 8.10, installed recently off the live cd and I don't have that option in my Administration -> menu -- I only see Network Tools which is NOT the same [00:55] zaapiel: easier to use the "hostname" command [00:55] tritium: it says version 4.3.2 is isntalled [00:55] UndertakerX2: good [00:56] tritium: thank you! I did not know about that command! any idea why my System -> Administration menu is missing some major applets? === personal is now known as dsdeiz [00:56] hola [00:57] algun espalol¿¿?

(it's wrapped inside an LVM and MDADM raid mirror, I've read weird things about the superblock not fitting at the bottom, but I don't really understand it?)

I installed 8.10 on my Aspire One and it kicked BUTT, until I hooked up another monitor, then I lost my 3D (and Compiz as a result) . how can I hit xorg up for the old settings? (I'm good with cli so that's best if it helps).

[01:12] jero_: do I need the ose package? === wUYYU9Cng is now known as bigbucks [01:12] hi [01:12] Davedan1: the user interface that comes with Virtualbox is written using KDE's graphics libraries. vboxgtk is a replacement UI written using GNOME's libraries. Just get virtualbox-ose :) [01:13] Is there a way to list irc channels? [01:13] terr_: not besides an xbox [01:13] /list [01:13] ty [01:13] others are wireless and work flawlessly [01:13] davedan - oops i misread, i thought vbox as a guest in windows. thats what i do [01:13] Has anyone here ever used Virtual PC with Ubuntu on Vista Home Premium? [01:13] rww: ok. I'm overwhlmed when there are too many options :) [01:14] I guess noone [01:14] rahduke: You should get another machine. Do you have any old critter you can press into service? I have several in my garage which are givaways. I'm in Calgary [01:14] to re-do xorg's settings is it xorg-config or something like that? What does it run when you initially install Ubuntu? [01:14] bigbucks - no but i use virtualbox in windows7 32bit as a host with 8.04 ubuntu as a guest. works very nice on fast duo2core cpus [01:14] rahduke: your ifconfig looks normal [01:14] bigbucks: Ubuntu isn't supported on Virtual PC, and is apparently a pain to get working. You could use VirtualBox instead; it's free software, and better than VPC. [01:14] terr_: I've tried several NIC cards, but i've canabalized all my old machines over the yrs [01:15] rahduke: call a friend. I think you will need another machine. At this point you don't know if the issue is downstream or upstream of the router [01:15] bigbucks: although Wikipedia says that, for VPC, "Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) must be installed in SafeMode, but does not require any other changes." [01:15] rahduke, you have access to your router, like administration? [01:15] miller_: yes [01:15] rahduke: it could be your upstream is breaking the connections [01:15] miller_: I've replaced this router 2 times [01:16] hey guys, I'm really frustrated here... [01:16] hello does anyone know if u can watch a dvd while using the mythbuntu live dvd and 2 dvd drives [01:16] there is just two important things with vbox after you install ubuntu as a guest on it. asap install the guest additions to get a smooth mouse pointer and automatically adjusting resolutions, and learn to mount -t vboxsf /media/ [01:16] rahduke, are you sure you're not doubling up on the same ip address with different devices? 192.168.1.5 sounds like a static address [01:16] So, dont use Virtual PC? [01:16] terr_: the problem is so sporatic Its very difficult to replicate, it will work fine for 2 or 3 days then loses connections 5x or more in 1 day [01:16] how to solve the graphical glitches using nvidia 177? [01:17] rahduke: when its working do a traceroute to the server in question and when down try traceroute again... and here is where another machine would really help isolate things. [01:17] Baatti: well, if you don't state the prob, we can't help [01:17] I just finished installing Diablo 2 using wine... its supposed to work... anyway, I have to use the 'Play Disc' in order to play it, but it won't recognize my 'CD-ROM' [01:17] bigbucks: I'd strongly recommend downloading Virtualbox and using it instead, since it's free and better than VPC. Using VPC should be possible, but may be more difficult. [01:17] rahduke: that sounds to me like an upstream issue. [01:17] bigbucks - read what i said and try virtualbox. its tremendously good. the mount directory will be where you transfer files between host and guest [01:17] does anyone know of a nice little program that is a todo list with focus on software development? [01:17] terr_: how to traceroute? [01:17] hey I need a little help here plz. firewall what's better gufw vs firestarter plz ... i'm a noob [01:17] does it work the same as Virtual PC? [01:17] bigbucks: just got here, what's the problem with virtual pc? [01:17] miller_: dumb question how do i tell what my own IP is? [01:17] can't boot? [01:18] wexell32: gufw. firestarter is a little buggy on newer versions of Ubuntu. [01:18] wexell32 gufw isn't a firewall, its just a GUI to help you set up your firewall (firestarter) [01:18] Baatti: that might be a question better suited for #winehq [01:18] rahduke, type into google: what is my ip [01:18] rahduke: I've had issues like this before when trying to bootleg data out of Trinidad.... no way FTP would handle it. FTP is suppose to mind you but it was not robust enough [01:18] Baatti: gufw is a frontend for ufw, not firestarter. [01:18] evening all [01:18] rahduke: ifconfig [01:18] Does it work on Vista Home Premium [01:18] bigbuck - it works as a computer in a computer. you just install your OS from a CD iso you download. not sure how vpc works [01:18] hrm, my bad [01:18] rahduke: yet small files were no issue at all.

[01:31] MoTec: not bad - the webservers I currently ahve are very reliable... and they help heat my house so I can save on my gas bill [01:31] IndyGunFreak: yeah, i use a standard drive on mine.. but my mini 9 has a small ssd [01:31] Anyone know? [01:31] Flannel, thx [01:31] PlaneShift-v0.4.03-x86.bin: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected [01:32] What could be amis here? [01:32] marge: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm", I think [01:32] MoTec: I'm going to cehck out OpenBSD for the firewalling [01:32] friend [01:32] MoTec: great idea, and i think eventually, its gonna be the way things are.. but i don't the the technology is quite there yet [01:32] terr_: that's what pfsense is based on... check it out for sure. [01:32] Question: Ubuntu Desktop ATI 9600 Mobility driver for games such as world of warcraft? [01:32] help i got "PlaneShift-v0.4.03-x86.bin: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected" [01:32] Answer: IDK [01:33] it's web gui is awesome.. and it is very powerfull [01:33] Brando753: What command were you running? [01:33] MoTec: plus, i got it for $300 on fleabay, it was about a month old.. so that makes it even better.. ;) [01:33] 2xtreme works perfectly fine, except some issues with logging out into gdm here. [01:33] sudo sh PlaneShift-v0.4.03-x86.bin [01:33] rww: Thanks I will reboot and see if it takes effect. [01:33] jero, do you use the fglrx? [01:33] can anyone tell me how to mount an iso so i can run the programs? [01:33] hello all [01:34] Brando753: You don't usually use sh to run a bin file, just +x it and ./whatever.bin [01:34] I enabled compiz -- but now full screen VLC sucks (frame rate bad) any ideas? [01:34] Jero, or just the standard driver [01:34] 2Xtreme - yep, look here -> [01:34] With the standard Ubuntu install on this nc8000 laptop with a pentium m and ati 9600, i get 3d acceleration to work properly in openarena for example, but suspend & compiz doesnt work. Installing the proprietary drivers, 3d acceleration works & compiz works & suspend works, but loging out does not work(screen goes blank and system becomes unresponsive). [01:34] hi cpudan [01:34] If i have installed within windows, and i uninstall, will it replace the original master boot record? [01:34] VirtualBox does not wanna install [01:34] bigbucks: what problem did you have with virtual pc? [01:34] none [01:34] 2Xtreme - 8.04 requires you just one click to enable the proprietary driver to get full fglrx 3d acceleration. [01:35] jero, lol great to get compiz working I install the fglrx driver, i have 8.10 [01:35] I'm looking for a program that is a todo list with focus on software development? [01:35] so what should i enter if my bin file is PlaneShift-v0.4.03-x86.bin [01:35] bigbucks: it's impossible for us to help you if you aren't specific and don't provide details [01:35] http://cgi.ebay.com/Keep-Fit-PC-USB-Non-Slip-Dance-Pad-Mat-+-Song-Game_W0QQitemZ180323984954QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090128?IMSfp=TL090128173005r17502 [01:35] what sort of crap is that? [01:35] I say something on youtube, and someone said they tried it and it crashed their PC [01:35] terr_: Please, take offtopic (non-support) related discussions elsewhere. Such as #ubuntu-offtopic [01:35] i got "card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog]" and no sound running 9.04 kubuntu but should be same prob in ubuntu so asking here also [01:35] they had to re-whatever [01:35] bigbucks: i've been running it for a long time... i'm on it now :) [01:35] Brando753: chmod +x FILE followed by ./FILE [01:35] 2Xtreme good luck with 8.10. never worked for me [01:35] what systam? [01:35] ? [01:36] jero, i was hoping for something different lol [01:36] bigbucks: the only problem i had is booting it in the first place... had to add 8042.noloop switch [01:36] Jrib format ti with this bin PlaneShift-v0.4.03-x86.bin [01:36] Brando753: are you kidding? [01:36] i didnt get how i was suposed to format that [01:36] Brando753: everywhere you see FILE, write the name of your file instead [01:36] bigbucks: an intel mini-itx board.. [01:36] jero, the fglrx driver works but really really bad fps, it doesn't want to speed up any either. when i know it should run better atleast it does on an winxp system [01:37] I mean OS === rj_x is now known as rj_x|away [01:37] bigbucks: celeron 215 [01:37] !away > rj_x|away [01:37] rj_x|away, please see my private message [01:37] 2Xtreme - then it is not working. the fglrx driver if working gives the best fps [01:37] anyone know a way to get xrandr to rotate a screen automatically? [01:38] 2Xtreme - if you enter glxgears into the terminal you should get around 3000fps [01:38] hi guys [01:38] then you know it is working [01:38] it's a bare install of ubuntu server.. i only gave it 256mb of ram because i'm stingy. [01:38] how save is to run win in ubutnu [01:38] ok... === e1kP9tsfA is now known as bigbucks [01:39] when I turned virtualnox on, i lost connection [01:39] it resets your network cards [01:39] that's why i use virtual pc.. it messes with windows hosts the least, heh. [01:41] 2Xtreme - i suggest downloading openarena for testing if your 3d acceleration is working properly. Not only it is a great free game, but it also is a good way to check for 3d acceleration if it really is enabled [01:41] http://cgi.ebay.com/INTEL-ATOM-DUAL-CORE-MINI-PC-IMAC-OSX-86-HACKINTOSH_W0QQitemZ270323719644QQcmdZViewItemQQptZDesktop_PCs?hash=item270323719644&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1234%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1309%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 [01:42] I installed gparted but it's having some unknown problem formatting the xfs partition.

[01:43] ok [01:43] so to start a new comp I push new? [01:43] terr_ it is osX hacked to run on a normal pc, and yes, ubuntu will run in a virtualbox on it [01:43] Flannel: what do they mean by "hackintosh"? [01:43] isnt Linus = Ubuntu? [01:44] bigbucks, no [01:44] jero: now that is interesting... a virtual box... what supports this. [01:44] bigbucks: no, Linus is the man that created Linux [01:44] jero: I have not been following virtual... however I did buy vmware a while back [01:44] it was a typo [01:45] terr_ yo dawg, its a pc in a pc, so you can use your pc while you use your pc [01:45] terr_: you can run virtual box on many os's including windows and ubuntu [01:45] jero: I know what it is - I was running NT under Linux. [01:45] virtualbox is just sun's cool name, heh [01:45] I'm wondering what the state of the technolgy is now. My VMWARE is quite old [01:45] well, they bought it [01:45] terr_ check out www.virtualbox.org and test it. its really fun stuff, and is free [01:45] how are they doing it? [01:46] jero many thanx! [01:46] Hey [01:46] terr_ - vmware is nice too, but i prefer vbox [01:46] it's similar to vmware [01:46] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1055610 can someone help ? i am nick [01:46] !kvm | terr_ [01:46] terr_: kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [01:46] How do I put Ubuntu on it WITHOUT a cd? [01:46] i prefer virtual pc, as long as you have to have a windows host :) [01:46] bigbucks: use an iso file [01:46] virtualbox is in ubuntu's packages btw. aptitude install vritualbox [01:46] bigbucks, pxe or net install [01:46] tritium: is this part of KDE? [01:47] terr_: no. [01:47] <_VIM_> gsker: i think it's virtualbox-ose [01:47] _VIM_: correct [01:47] bigbucks: if you're talking about making virtualbox boot ubuntu without a real cd you can tell it to use the ubuntu .iso as a virtual cd in the virtual machine [01:47] tritium: I'm currently on Debian and its old. I'm going to build a new install shortly and I'm going to use Ubuntu - virtual is something I'm very interested in. [01:47] Motec being bound to one host is exactly what you dont want with such virtual machines. One of the major strengths of this is to be able and carry your guest OS over to any other pc/OS [01:47] hey all,....should't there be a manpage for fread/fwrite.... how do i download them [01:48] terr_: in order to use KVM, your hardware needs to support virtualization. That URL tells you how to determine whether or not your hardware does. [01:48] does anyone here use xmms [01:48] the playlist editor will not minimize with the main window [01:48] my point was that sending people to the origin site makes them think that they have to insall from there. A linux newbie friend got into a little pickle recently in that regard with openoffice (virtualbox is a virtual package -- virtualbox-ose is one of the package in it) [01:48] tritium: this is starting to look like we are moving from the stone ages. [01:48] jero: well true.. but with virtual pc you can run on any windows machine, basically, because virtual server machine files work on virtual pc installs [01:48] adubz: not for years [01:48] in the 'ubuntu installer main menu' i dont know what to choose to point to the iso image with the installer components [01:49] terr_: ? [01:49] vmware worked but I sure didn't like it from an admin standpoint. === entropy is now known as entropy8 [01:49] tritium: IBM did it right a long time ago. [01:49] Would anyone be able to help me with a wpa_supplicant error? [01:49] jero: was mostly just saying.. if my virtual machine host is a windows machine i use virtual pc.. if not, i use virtualbox on ubuntu server :) [01:49] i have never seen those options, i have not installed ubuntu for 3 yrs [01:50] if i want to backup my system to upgrade it, how can i find the paths? [01:50] chalcedony: echo $PATH, from a terminal [01:51] which script is being called by gdm when i log out? [01:51] Now this looks very interesting... I wonder if this can work with multiseat X? [01:51] WebcamWonder: ~$ echo $PATH [01:51] /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [01:51] ~$ [01:51] btw vmware files work on virtualbox too. [01:52] chalcedony: Yup, that is the PATH environment variable [01:52] really? that's sweet [01:52] the installer ask for an iso image which i have but i dont know how to point to it [01:52] gsker - hm, good to know [01:52] gsker: I'm trying to remember the name of hte UK virtualization - I think it was headed in Cambridge [01:52] doesn't ring a bell for me. [01:52] chalcedony: Wait, were you asking for the path environment variable, or what paths to tar for the backup? [01:52] it looks on the hard drive for an image but my image is on a usb memory stick\ [01:53] WebcamWonder: i feel dumb.. what do i need? [01:53] !backup | chalcedony [01:53] chalcedony: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [01:53] what I would _like_ is to be able to build a virtual machine that basically runs in a microkernel and test it and if I like it then move everyting into it and retire the old virtual image [01:53] chalcedony: alt-ctrl-f1 (or f2 or something) and see if you can mount the usb stick. [01:53] should i nspecify it in the boot options [01:54] is there a command to check if i have 3d acceleration enabled? [01:54] nellmathew: glxinfo | grep direct [01:54] gsker: my stuff won't all fit on a usb stick.. it will have to go to another system on the lan [01:54] my boot was: '/vmlinuz initrd=/initrd.gz all_generic_ide' [01:54] thanks gsker [01:54] oops. Wrong person -- that was for cricri [01:54] anyone got good knowledge of kubuntu/ubuntu and can help me with my sound card / sound issue please read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6696415 [01:55] failers: #ubuntu+1 for 9.04 [01:55] * gsker upgrades ubuntu from 7.10 to 8.10 on a sony vaio picture book with 110meg of memory. [01:55] !sbackup [01:55] sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe [01:55] If you mess up your MBR, is there a way to make grub list XP? [01:56] What is the name of the latest gtk+ package? [01:56] (So I can apt-get it) [01:56] Anyone know if it's possible for the "filename" option in dhcpd to have any type of dynamic data in it? Specifically the dhcp client's mac address? [01:56] !find gtk [01:56] question regarding a virtual machine: Now I kinda doubt this is possible. Set up a host OS and install a guest. At some point tell the guest to become the host and the host to become the guest. These _could_ be peer os's and would need to cooperate in transfering control of the hardware... means we need to have two VM aware kernels Of course on a given kernel we _should_ be able to xfer the desktop managers and if so then run more t [01:57] Found: apport-gtk, evince, gftp-gtk, gnome-icon-theme-gartoon, gtk-doc-tools (and 421 others) [01:57] if we can do this then we can upgrade from version to version w/o a reboot [01:57] kshadow: Any specific reason why you don't want ubuntu-desktop? [01:57] does anyone here use xmms [01:57] I know IBM can do this on their mainframes [01:58] im trying to figure out why the playlist editor will not shrink with the main window when i minimize [01:58] WebcamWonder: I want to install the latest version of pidgin, so I need the latest gtk. [01:58] kshadow: Are you getting a deb from somewhere or compiling? [01:58] terr_ - maybe XEN will be able to do this some day, if the big players don't infiltrate it [01:58] Compiling. [01:58] kshadow: Then you need the dev headers, not the gtk packages :) [01:59] jero: that's the system I was looking for - forgot the name. [01:59] !info libgtk-dev [01:59] jero: with a micro kernel it should be possible as well [01:59] Package libgtk-dev does not exist in intrepid [01:59] terr_ you need a cpu with VT - XEN is just a thin layer between your hardware and your virtual OS. So yes, in theory it is possible to get this done, and i think it was already done. Then again i am a tinfoiler [01:59] Would itbe libgtk+2.0-dev? [01:59] ok having a issue [02:00] need input [02:00] jero? tinfoiler? [02:00] kshadow: Umm, just do a, sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin, that should grab all the ~15 libraries required by pidgin [02:00] I have 2 headsets 1 that plugs in to the standard autio jacks and one that is usb [02:00] WebcamWonder: Perfect, thanks. [02:00] terr_ cospirancy theoriest, tinfoil hat, etc. [02:00] jero on my webservers virtual sounds very interesting [02:00] WebcamWonder: Maybe you can help me with another question. [02:00] I can hear audio on both when they are enabled [02:00] kshadow: Sure [02:00] jero ty! [02:01] WebcamWonder: If I was to install a new version of something from source, should I remove the older version that was installed via the package manager first? [02:01] terr_ - i mean me, not you [02:01] jero: I've needed it before on my desktop but not recently. As I said I bought vmware a few years back... [02:01] I messed up my gentoo system by installing some stuff via portage, and some stuff via manual compiling. [02:01] kshadow: Definitely [02:01] but skype/xten/zoiper I can hear the audio on the headset but none of the apps are getting autio from the dsl input [02:01] jero I know! [02:01] i thought xmms was gone, but I see it's still here. Was there a fork? [02:01] kshadow: if you can remove just the package you're upgrading go for it [02:01] Thanks. [02:02] K. [02:02] I had not heard xmms had dies [02:02] died [02:02] jero: maybe on my next machine I will set up a VM capability adn wine as well. I presume this is all done in ubuntu... [02:02] why would they killit [02:02] Also, know if the atheros problems with intrepid have been sorted out? [02:02] jero in debian I need to do it [02:02] i mounted my usb key in /mnt how do i go back to the intstall [02:03] cricri: ??? rephrase the question please [02:03] cricri: I would think umount it and remount where you want it [02:03] cricri: I've never done this however for a USB key [02:04] any idea how to improve a wireless connection? Ive disabled ipv6 and run ndiswrapper [02:04] i mounted my usb in /mnt/usb but i dont know how to tell the ubuntu installation to look in it [02:04] but its still crap [02:04] It must have a fork that looks a lot like the original. Audacious, maybe? [02:04] kshadow: atheros is stil tricky in intrepid. [02:04] checking whether the C++ compiler (gcc ) works... no [02:04] configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables. [02:04] I just install madwifi-hal every time I do a kernal update [02:04] sucks [02:05] the ubuntu installer cannot find the iso image [02:05] hey guys, having some trouble with LIRC. anyone willing to help a total noob (me :p) out with this? [02:05] gsker: Would that work for madwifi-ng? [02:05] any idea on this issue [02:05] cricri alt-ctrl-f1 or f2 or f3 or whever that is sitting. [02:05] unixdawg: You need to get build-essential, to get gcc and g++ [02:06] gsker yes i managed to go back to install but the install still wont find the iso [02:06] cricri: does the ubuntu installer go through a boot? [02:06] unixdawg: what are you trying to accomplish? [02:06] it boots and then looks for iso [02:06] building kssh [02:06] I think I'm being affected by a regression in hal. Is there an easy way to get hold of old binary packages so that I can try an older version? [02:06] right now [02:06] i manually give it the boot options [02:06] cricri: it will lose everything iduring the reboot of course [02:07] cricri: I presume you realise this? [02:07] i've been using 8.10 for a few weeks now and just wanted folks to know how amazed i am out how well things have gone. my hard drive dying was a blessing in disguise as it was the cause for me to install ubuntu in the first place, now i wouldn't consider another OS. helpful folks on the forums and in here have been a big reason for my positive experience so far and i just wanted to say thanks. [02:07] unixdawg: kssh is in the repositories, use synaptic or some other APT frontend [02:07] lose what? i dont have anything, my goal is to install ubuntu [02:07] basically I just need LIRC to receive my Phillips USB IR and recognize my Harmony 550 programed with device xbox360. [02:07] cricri: yes - but if the machine reboots between when you mount the USB key and run the installer then the mount is lost [02:07] betterhands: YAY !! glad you like it :) [02:07] hal has suddenly stopped detecting my keyboard, mouse, network cards and I don't know what else [02:08] So nothing works [02:08] betterhands, cheers === vincent is now known as Guest74125 [02:08] WebcamWonder: my other coaching person told me to use mc to find the paths. HOW? [02:08] what are hgfx shares? [02:08] i mount it within the installer using the simple ash provided [02:08] chalcedony: There is an enviromment variable named PATH. Are you asking about that env variable? Or what paths to backup? [02:09] cricri: and no reboot after that? [02:09] i did not reboot after mounting [02:09] thanks--it's cool to see how great community based stuff can be. [02:09] i did alt-f2 alt-f1 to go to ash [02:09] cricri: ok - we are past that hurdle then. I was worrying about you needing to make a new initrd with drivers and so forth [02:09] cricri you shoud be able to say that the iso is at /mnt/mystick/file.iso ... [02:09] from within the install [02:09] WebcamWonder: "look around and see if you want files from any other path" i never use mc.. i've forgotten what little i did in it ever. [02:09] gsker: exactly [02:10] anyone know a room for LIRC or similar? === hHkKTTF6K is now known as bigbucks [02:10] LIRC? [02:10] I'm having a problem with my "sudo apt-get update" readout. Can someone help me? [02:10] but where is this option gsker [02:10] chalcedony: Yeah, that looks likes the folders you would want to backup. You can use any file browser to look for which folders to backup. MC just happens to be one of them. YOu can even use nautiluys [02:10] linux IR remote control [02:10] nitrousinacan: pastebin it please [02:10] is there a tut I can follow to install ubuntu on VB [02:10] Do any one no how to open a executable file in Ubuntu? Or is there any code or tools out there what will do this job? [02:10] cricri: have ytou tried appending blah to the path? You will need to use "source" if via a script or .blah [02:10] ok kssh on 4.2 is borked [02:11] Unknown option 'T'. [02:11] konsole: Use --help to get a list of available command line options. [02:11] Matr|X: Double click? [02:11] thats the error [02:11] nop [02:11] Matr|X: You mean, like a windows executable file? [02:11] Matr|X: chmod +x filename, make it executable. [02:11] Then just ./filename to run it [02:11] the path in boot options? [02:11] WebcamWonder: http://pastebin.com/m14e5f1fc [02:11] no this not the probelem [02:11] terr_ [02:11] cricri : I'm not in the middle of one of those installs and can't think how that might work. [02:12] Matr|X: Explain? === rj_x|away is now known as rj_x [02:12] WebcamWonder: lines 76-77. [02:12] so this sucks kssh being borked [02:12] grrrr [02:12] cricri: ?? [02:12] is there a way to specify location in boot options? is this what you mean terr_ [02:12] is there a tut on installing Ubuntu on VirtualBox? [02:12] nitrousinacan: You don't have the key for medibuntu. Did you add that repo yourself? [02:12] estoy en linea [02:12] like in windows i have file .exe in ubntu i have another file not on exe but type executable % application/x-executable ,, i want to edit this file make some new change to make for me more jobs eny help [02:12] i never had that much trouble setting up [02:12] cricri: perhaps yes - the path in the boot options. look at the paths the installer sees [02:12] nitrousinacan: Oh, wait. Scratch that [02:13] WebcamWonder: Yes. I readded it, and I readded the pgp too. [02:13] what's the current version of Ubuntu? [02:13] Matr|X: You mean you want to change the executable file?! [02:13] cricri: the installer is just a program and when it looks for stuff it will look in hard coded places - configured places and maybe on a path [02:13] Fezzler: 8.10, Intrepid Ibex [02:13] nitrousinacan: Hold up [02:13] If you want to execute it, make it executable with `chmod +x filename`, and execute it with `./filename` [02:14] yes [02:14] bigbucks - start a new machine, set it up. after you are done with it, before you power it up, click on CDROM and browse to the ubuntu iso to bind it in. Now your machine will act like a real one having an ubuntu cdrom inside, once you power it up [02:14] cricri: you might also be able to cd to /mnt/blah and then run the installer [02:14] Matr|X: If you have the source code, you can alter it, but like in windows, you cannot just edit a an executable file. [02:14] how do I tell which version is on my PC? [02:14] when did xmms die [02:14] cricri: whatever it is - its likely to be simple [02:14] its not in the repos [02:14] unixdawg: Several years ago. [02:15] how i can make my own file:O like the one i have [02:15] what is the replacement [02:15] if i use the "create a usb startup disk" i will be able to boot from a usb drive right? [02:15] unixdawg: Audacious. [02:15] unixdawg: it appears that xmms2 is in the repos [02:15] Matr|X: I don't really know what you're saying. [02:15] You can program one? [02:15] I thought xmms2 was a server app [02:15] hello.. i'm using fluxbox, is there a command line tool that can help set the brightness of my laptop screen? [02:15] yes [02:15] i mean this program [02:15] will i be able to install programs to this "portable ubuntu" [02:15] Matr|X: Learn a programming language, like C++, then code it? [02:16] wht edito i use or wht program code i use [02:16] nitrousinacan: Pastebin your sources please [02:16] c ++ and i will code one for me like this one :O [02:16] unixdawg: Audacious was the replacement, and it's quite nice. [02:16] I had a deb package manually get installed, and when i went to remove it left something bc now when i do a apt-get update and upgrade it fails because it can't find the package, how do i remove it? [02:16] cricri: are you making headway? [02:16] kshadow: xmms2 is in the repos [02:16] i can learn code c++ in ubntu machine ? [02:16] What are the repos? [02:17] kshadow: repositories [02:17] Matr|X: Yes. [02:17] where in the repos is it [02:17] WebcamWonder: http://pastebin.com/m2cc27d3d [02:17] !info xmms2 | unixdawg [02:17] xmms2 (source: xmms2): Client/server based media player system. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5DrLecter-2ubuntu1.1 (intrepid), package size 13 kB, installed size 56 kB [02:17] Matr|X: hard to say - if you can learn C++ in any other machine then Ubuntu should be no issue [02:17] trent1 - booting from a USB HDD is the same as booting from a normal HDD if your bios supports it. The problem you might encounter is getting a bootblock on your USB HDD. On some models it is not possible at all, except by pulling out the HDD and connecting it to the real controler, then placing it back into the usb case [02:17] ok [02:17] Can anyone talk to me on m5n and tell me to get ubuntu unning on vitualbox? [02:17] OMG!!!! [02:18] !patience | bigbucks [02:18] bigbucks: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [02:18] THATS NOT IT [02:18] jero: is this true of the flash USB sticks? [02:18] bigbucks: cut it out [02:18] ok i had to umount it so that it couyld mount it and detect it [02:18] i was planing to use it on computers at school, i don't think our security is very tight so there shouldn't be a "boot block" [02:18] cricri: np [02:19] terr_ - not sure if all usb sticks allow you to place a bootblock on them. In doubt i would check for success stories on certain usb sticks [02:19] every time I turn on virtualbox it opens a thing wanting me to give it permission and I cannot switch windows now [02:19] I dont find xmms2 in the repops [02:19] nitrousinacan: Either of the 2 ppa repos don't have the keys added. Could you try adding them again? [02:19] unixdawg: it's in the universe repository [02:19] terr_ if they wanted to prevent it however, they could. just by setting the stick controller to not allow writing on the bootblock [02:19] can I use apt to install packages for a 32 bit chroot when using a 64 bit kernel? [trying to modify a 32 bit livecd] [02:19] jero: on that new machine I'm going to install ubuntu on... it has no usuable peripherals at present - but it does ahve USB... maybe I can do the install that way [02:20] anyways [02:20] fixed [02:20] where do I get the file to install Ubuntu on VirtualBox [02:20] jero: I'll simply tell the salesman I want one that I can create a boot FS on [02:20] terr_: good luck with hat. :-) [02:20] bigbucks: download the .iso image from ubuntu's website [02:20] s/hat/that/ [02:21] bigbucks: why don't you just feed an ubuntu iso into it? [02:21] ah :P [02:21] jero: my machine is small enough I'll carry it in and ask them to show me it can be done. [02:21] terr_ salesmen are known for knowing nothing [02:21] ok, well i got my answer. thanks for the help jero :) [02:21] IDK how to [02:21] bigbucks: go to the webpage and download it [02:21] the you for helping [02:21] jero this is not much different than buying a region free DVD. If they say I can switch region codes I will show then a list of 4 and ask them to show me before I buy it. [02:22] jero I've done more sales than most and don't I know it! [02:22] WebcamWonder: Ok. Done. Should I "sudo apt-get update"? [02:22] nitrousinacan: sudo aptitude update, aptitude over apt-get is preffered :) [02:22] can I get a URL to the iso just I cannot find it [02:22] bigbucks: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [02:22] jero in this business it is NOT an advantage to know much. If you do then customers waste too much of your time... and go buy elsewhere [02:22] bigbucks: don't be so lazy [02:23] hey guys [02:23] I installed ubuntu just today and I had full effects for video and it said I had like 200 updates so I updated and now I cant enable any effects any ideas? [02:23] WebcamWonder: Hmm... Never used aptitude. Same thing pretty much? [02:23] nitrousinacan: Very much the same [02:23] what happens to my ubuntu box if i replace the mobo and CPU?? wil it still work or i have to reinstall? [02:23] whats the command to view how much RAM is on machine and how much is free/used? [02:23] WebcamWonder: Done. No errors. Thanks! [02:23] Leppers: top does it [02:24] it is a lond download [02:24] Hilikus: hopefully.. ;) if not, you don't have to pay for another user agreement to reinstall. [02:24] Leppers: free -m [02:24] long [02:24] try top [02:24] nitrousinacan: No problems [02:24] thanks [02:24] Hilikus: I think it _should_ work. However why do you want to save the case? Just moive the HDD === Who-s_me is now known as nOnethere [02:24] terr_ i dont have 2 cases, what i really want to save is the current setup of my server, i dont want ot install and reconfigure every process i have running in it [02:25] temperature: 63 C [02:25] how can u remove packages manually without using apt-get bc it wont do it [02:25] does anyone know why I would lose visual effects because of updates? [02:25] edge: why won't it? [02:25] edge: What are you trying to remove that apt-get wouldn't let you? [02:25] edge: be more specific than "it wont do it" [02:25] hi everybody! [02:25] Hilikus: but cases are basically throw aways. You should install the MB and so forth in a new case and move the HDD [02:25] terr_: cases can be reused [02:26] WebcamWonder IndyGunFreak it was installed with a .deb and the deb is gone, and i used i to remove it but it still things it exists so im having issues installing other stuff [02:26] can anybody suggest me a cool theme on ubuntu intrepid please? :) [02:26] WebcamWonder: WX_0: You Guys Are Amazing! [02:26] terr_ i dont have another case. i just have an extra mobo and cpu [02:26] Hilikus: that way if there is a glitch you can move it back. ALso how big is the HDD? I picked up 160 GB IDE for like $35 bux. [02:26] edge: where'd you get the .deb? [02:26] edge: That is still very vague. Please pastebin the output when you are facing this problem [02:26] IndyGunFreak from zimbra , [02:26] lol [02:26] terr_ i have a 250gb and a 20gb [02:26] yeah, edge try to apt-get remove it, then pastebin the error [02:27] Hilikus: place the ner Mobo on a static matt and pulg a powersupply into it etc etc adn then try it... [02:27] Hilikus: is the OS on the 20GB? [02:27] IndyGunFreak this is what happens when i try to use apt or any managment http://nopaste.com/p/auCLbTU66 [02:27] Hilikus: that would be the smart way to do it. [02:27] terr_ my question was more, would ubuntu boot to the last status or it would freak out wit the different hardware [02:27] Hilikus: it should boot. But I've never tried it. [02:27] terr_ yes, 20 for OS, 250 for mythtv [02:28] Hilikus: hardware is auto-detected on boot, so you shouln't have trouble. [02:28] edge: sudo apt-get install -f, that should fix broken packages first [02:28] thank guys [02:28] Hilikus: mythtv? [02:28] terr_ PVR [02:28] Hilikus: can you get another 20GB? [02:28] Hilikus: PVR? I've never used it. [02:28] sudo apt-get install -f [02:28] terr_ what for? [02:28] ola [02:28] this will fix broken packeg [02:28] terr_ to install it again in the second one? [02:29] Hilikus: I like to leap frog - clone the HDD and don't bring down a machine until the new one is working. [02:29] hello [02:29] terr_: you're missing out. There's an entire ubuntu derivative distro called mythbuntu specifically for mythtv. [02:29] WebcamWonder: is there a command line command to show a treeview of directories? i just am kind of freaked out about trying to ues these gui things. i do command line because i can see black and white. [02:29] terr_ i see [02:29] hey people, please anybody suggest me a cool theme on ubuntu intrepid :) [02:29] tritium: but I don't yet know what mythtc is. [02:29] sim [02:29] Matr|X doesn't work [02:29] terr_: shocking [02:30] Hilikus: I've never had problems I could not get around mind you. [02:30] thx [02:30] WebcamWonder that didn't work [02:30] !mythtv | terr_ [02:30] terr_: mythtv is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV - For discussion and specific support, try #ubuntu-mythtv [02:30] chalcedony: I don't know. I have never been required to done that [02:30] cool theme for ubntu hardy ? [02:30] tritium: I live in a cave and plug my computers into rocks [02:30] edge: pastebin? [02:30] terr_ theres no way around hardware problems [02:30] WebcamWonder http://nopaste.com/p/auCLbTU66 [02:30] WebcamWonder no matter what i do i get that ,its annoying i just wanna edit it out of its memory [02:30] tritium: that sounds VERY interesting for something I want to do [02:30] Alright, I'm going to try and update to ibtrepid ibex. [02:30] Matr|X: there's lots of them.. http://www.gnome-look.org assuming you're using gnome [02:31] terr_: good deal [02:31] Hopefully my internet won't stop working again. [02:31] for some reason my system freezes and I THINK it happens when the temperature in my room drops [02:31] edge: What did, sudo apt-get install -f say? [02:31] does anyone have an acer aspire one i just got it and put ubuntu on it and i cant get my wireless working [02:31] so i,m pretty sure its hardware, not ubuntu [02:31] dstrbdfrk1: I do. [02:31] dstrbdfrk1: Well, aspire 5100. [02:31] But my wireless wouldn't work with intrepid before. [02:32] dstrbdfrk1: Every model differs. You need to find what card is in your particular model [02:32] do you think you can help? kshadow [02:32] WebcamWonder http://nopaste.com/p/aerS9RAh0 [02:32] dstrbdfrk1: install madwifi [02:32] Hilikus: how much liquid nitrogen are you using? [02:32] hehe [02:32] dstrbdfrk1: Not sure, but someone earlier here said they installed madwifi-hal and got things working. [02:32] Is someone here familiar with samba? I have server running on 8.10 and it works prefectly except I can't browse to the workgroup itself with windows. I get 'network name not found' [02:32] edge: Can you actually go and download zimbra-core, and reinstall it? [02:32] I'm pulling my hair out over this.. tried a bunch of stuff i googled but nothing works [02:32] um i dont kno how to do those things im pretty new and im gunna need one on one instructions [02:33] WebcamWonder i could, but its not installed , so why can't i just remove it from the package manager? [02:33] Hilikus: as for your migration issue... a 20GB should be next to nothing. Clone your existing one is my suggestion... also any old old old machine (spare) should be ok for this [02:33] malibu - you tried to search for the server ip within windows? [02:33] terr_ this IS my spare machine :P [02:33] Hilikus: after you clone it - move the HDD and test it. [02:33] edge: Some package depends on it, and apt-get wants to reinstall it due to some reason [02:33] Hilikus: it seems to be a production machine too. [02:33] WebcamWonder no way to over ride? [02:33] Hilikus: if you lived in my city I'd give you a spare! [02:33] edge: But this behaviour is very weird, even for apt-get [02:34] anyone know why my S-video to my HDTV(1080p) resolution is maxing out at 1024x768? [02:34] terr_ i build a server just to use spare parts i had lying around [02:34] how do i install madwifi? [02:34] i built* [02:34] edge: It would be much easier if you went through the process of installation and removal [02:34] WebcamWonder nothing relies on it , so im confused why i can't just delete it from a world list or something [02:34] be ahppy to do that for some help/manpower building a few systems to donate to some school labs in fact [02:34] jero: no.. what is the command for that? [02:34] dstrbdfrk1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne should show you how to do it [02:35] friend of mine tosses machines... they tossed at least 50 a few months back [02:35] malibu - first of, do a ping to your server, to see if there is no firewall blocking [02:35] :S [02:35] jero: just a regular ping? [02:35] malibu - ping [02:35] im having a issue with kubuntu.. is this the right channel ? [02:35] try #kubuntu [02:35] jero: mytv looks awsome [02:35] jero: ping works.. not surprised.. it's just my home network [02:35] negativegluebear: im trying but it places me here.. in #ubuntu [02:36] malibu - then in windows open my computer, and do ctrl+f - and enter the server ip in the search field [02:36] then ya you're in the right place =) [02:36] jero: how fast a machine (cpu mostly) would mytv need to run well? [02:36] jero: wow ctrl-f works? Good trick.. trying. [02:36] ok im having a issue.. im using the kubuntu live cd.. i am connecting my camera and it wont reconize [02:36] webbhawk_h4x0r19: That is b/c you are coming in from mibbit [02:37] terr_ it is awesome [02:37] malibu - yes it works, i use it quite often when it fails to find the server automatically [02:37] WebcamWonder: yeah im on a live cd.. so mibbit is fastest way for me to join irc channels [02:37] ok it found the computer by IP === l7_ is now known as l7 [02:37] jero: just browsing to it [02:38] jero: ok I'm in, that worked [02:38] terr_ it does take a lot of time and knowledge to get it running [02:38] webbhawk_h4x0r19: Yup. The proxy setup just throws to #ubuntu, never considers other channels [02:38] im plugging in my camera and it wont reconigze .... any ideas? [02:38] terr_ - mythTV is really cool, but i stopped watching TV lately :D [02:38] What package do i need to install 2.6.1 python? [02:38] Hilikus: I've got an old shuttle machine... I don't know how fast the CPU is yet - but its about a vintage 2000 machine... do you think it can handle mytv? [02:38] i am having sound issues [02:39] perlsyntax_: You need to build python for ubuntu [02:39] jero: with the crap that is on no kidding. [02:39] !sound | DBO [02:39] DBO: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [02:39] all I am getting is a crackling noise out of my speakers [02:39] yes i do [02:39] terr_ the requirements are not too bad except in harddrive and you need a tv tuner of course [02:39] i want to try the 2.6.1 [02:39] WebcamWonder, no dice, seen those [02:39] BTW my shuttle will support 6 monitors! [02:39] DBO: Using PA or ALSA? [02:39] Hilikus: I was told we can get USB tuners [02:39] !gnomad [02:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnomad [02:39] malibu [02:39] terr_ don't [02:39] !gnomad2 [02:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnomad2 [02:40] WebcamWonder, checking without PA now... [02:40] terr_ usb tuners use software encoding [02:40] whats the gnome app for cameras .. [02:40] Hilikus: I was also told the HDTV is really an mpeg [02:40] terr_ in which case you do need a pretty powerful cpu [02:40] Does anyone know? [02:40] i know i need the devel files if i am right. [02:40] can anyone recommend an app to flip through desktop wallpaper? [02:40] preinstalled on ubuntu.. anyone know [02:40] Hilikus: he was from Europe and I think was picking up HDTV - already an mpeg4 [02:40] jero: know what I can try next? [02:40] hi, i just installed the openssh server but i can't get a command prompt when i shell in to my box. do i need to configure it to use a different login shell? [02:41] l7: nope [02:41] webbhawk_h4x0r19: There is no pre-installed app last time I checked. I think cheese happens to be the most popular one [02:41] !cheese [02:41] WebcamWonder, killing PA makes the crackling go away, but still no sound [02:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about cheese [02:41] malibu - i thought you said you were in. what is the mater ? [02:41] l7 openssh server? [02:41] tritium: why can't i get a command prompt then? [02:41] WebcamWonder: there is a preinstalled app that deals with images and cameras though.. [02:41] jero: I still can't get to the workgroup [02:41] l7: not sure. You should be. [02:41] terr_: yes [02:41] i7 mod-ssh? for apache? [02:41] i downloaded thems from here http://www.gnome-look.org/ how can i install it but i have compiz fuion installed on my box [02:41] jero: If I browse to the actual workgroup it doesn't work [02:42] hi, could anyone give me opera repo for ubuntu 8.10 source.list [02:42] DBO: What app are you testing your sound with? [02:42] terr_ ok, in that case maybe, but even with difital tv i have to digitize it because my cable box converts it to analog apparently (i'm using svideo) so i have to REdigitize it again to store it in my hdd [02:42] jero: I can use \\servername\share just fine [02:42] malibu - have you restarted both machines? [02:42] WebcamWonder, there we go, PCM was magically shut off [02:42] malibu - after setting it up? [02:42] terr_: i have openssh-client and openssh-server installed [02:42] does any body knows smt bout gnomad [02:42] Hilikus: ac->dc->ac->dc adn on and on [02:42] afaik output of a cable box is always analog [02:42] WebcamWonder, ok, PA working now too... thanks for that =) [02:43] DBO: :) I didn't do anything [02:43] l7: its been a few years since I worked with that [02:43] Hilikus: what are you looking for? Most HD TV tuner cards support ATSC (over-the-air) and unencrypted QAM-256 (cable) [02:43] jero: yes many times.. I've had this problem ever since upgrading from 7.10 to 8.10 a few months ago [02:43] WebcamWonder, shhh, its easier to say you fixed it than admit I forgot to check PCM [02:43] l7: if you remind me what they do it might ring a bell. [02:43] terr_ yes, you can get digital tv tuners but i dont really see the point since you can't connect your cable directly to it cause all cable signals are scrambled [02:44] owen9914: i followed the instructions you gave me and i hit an error can you help? [02:44] anyone know what i should do .. if it wont reconize my camera [02:44] Hilikus: A little offtopic, aren't we? [02:44] hi, could anyone give me opera repo for ubuntu 8.10 source.list [02:44] malibu - sorry then i have no clue then. all the info i knew i gave you about this. Personally i would check if on the server site i set the sharing options properly for the folders etc i want to share [02:44] terr_: openssh-server allows you to connect to your box via ssh and and adminster it remotely [02:44] tritium i'm still SD, but when i enquired about a digital tv card i was told it would still not work, basically no way around my cable provider's box [02:44] Hilikus: what of the feeds into the flat panels. [02:44] patacute: www.opera.com lists one last time I checked [02:44] ah well, maybe a reboot will fix this, but i can't reboot for a few hours [02:44] l7:oh! [02:44] Hilikus: it depends on which channels they provide unencrypted [02:45] Of course I use it all te time! [02:45] webbhawk_h4x0r19, did u add it to your source.list? [02:45] l7: you don't have to reboot. sudo invoke-rc.d ssh restart, and see if it works [02:45] tritium probably none, who would, they want you to buy a box [02:45] patacute: no whats that [02:45] Hilikus: most do, at least locals [02:45] l7: start the server daemon... you will need to config the user log in and any shell will owrk. On the remote machine just ssh blah [02:45] jero: Ok thanks.. [02:46] webbhawk_h4x0r19, ok i see [02:46] jero: it's a tough one.. been trying to figure it out for a long time [02:46] patacute: What are you talking about? [02:46] jero: usually I get around the probllem with network places, but now I'm in a position with an app that I need the workgroup [02:46] webbhawk_h4x0r19, i want to add opera repo to my souce.list [02:46] WebcamWonder, ^^ [02:46] i didnt say that [02:47] Hilikus: there are two interfaces into flat panels and I forget the letters since I've not used them (yet). One is just digital like DPI or somehting and the other includes sound and is like HDLC or something [02:47] i cant get my camera to reconize [02:47] terr_: how do i start the server daemon? i can already ssh to localhost, so perhaps this means it is running but not properly configured. [02:47] Hilikus: I can't find my notes right now [02:47] im trying to copy the pictures to my computer [02:47] patacute: System -> Administration -> Software Sources, add away [02:47] terr_: DVI and HDMI (also DisplayPort) [02:47] tritium: thanks === S03vsWERDER is now known as DIFH-iceroot [02:47] terr_ but you still need to descramble the signal from your cable provider, so you have to go through a set top box, which output is analog [02:47] No, I did not equate HDMI to DisplayPort, they are separate standards. [02:48] WebcamWonder, thanks [02:48] malibu was there any reason for you to upgrade to 7.10? [02:48] WebcamWonder: any idea what i should do [02:48] !webcam | webbhawk_h4x0r19 [02:48] webbhawk_h4x0r19: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [02:48] 8.10 pardon [02:48] Hilikus: but I thought DVI and HDVI were digital?

[02:48] good night [02:48] WebcamWonder: take it easy [02:49] terr_: it says "sshd re-exec requires execution with an absolute path" [02:49] jero: 8.10? no, not particularly.. Just wanted to stay fresh [02:49] WebcamWonder: no i plug it in turn it on .. and nothing happens [02:49] webbhawk_h4x0r19: Did you try googling that specific model> [02:49] malibu - 7.10 is actually running faster, and since it worked fine, you actually did a downgrade :D [02:49] yes... nothing really.. [02:49] its worked before [02:49] never had any issues [02:50] l7: hmm... I've never seen that... try /locate sshd and then /usr/local or wherever it lives [02:50] terr_: actually /usr/sbin/sshd is already running when i do ps [02:50] webbhawk_h4x0r19: Can you pastebin the output of, sudo fdisk -l ? [02:50] l7: did you restart it, as I told you to? [02:50] jero: doh [02:50] l7: ok - then the issue is in /etc/sshd [02:50] tritium: kill it and restart it? [02:50] jero: I have probs with 8.10 too. [02:50] can anyone recommend a random wallpaper switcher? [02:50] WebcamWonder: sure.. whats the key press that will give me a terminal [02:50] l7: no, sudo invoke-rc.d ssh restart, like I said [02:50] l7: ok - then the issue is in /etc/sshd.config or whatiever its called. I can check mine [02:51] webbhawk_h4x0r19: Applications -> Acc -> terminal [02:51] jero: hope 9.10 is better [02:51] malibu - my favorite is 8.04. If i read correctly it will be supported till 2011. Appart it was the one running best with my hardware, and the one running best in my vbox [02:51] terr_: it shouldn't require any config changes. It should run "out of the box." [02:51] malibu - 8.10 is supported only till 2010 if i read correct [02:51] webbhawk_h4x0r19: Ihave to go [02:51] webbhawk_h4x0r19: Sorry [02:51] tritium: I forget... servers have been up for years... also my servers are openBSD... desktops are linux [02:51] terr_: the thing is i can login to my box, but i cannot get a shell [02:52] ok i have an acer aspire one and i cant get the wifi to work i have googeled it and there is instructions on how to fix but there not working so i need some one on one help please [02:52] jero: I always wonder what I'm missing by running the .04 though [02:52] l7: then what do you get when you ssh to your box? [02:52] can anyone help me with .. a camera that wont reconigze [02:52] terr_: it seems to me that it does not know it needs to give me a bash shell when i log in [02:52] l7 what is in the /etc/passwd file? [02:52] l7: what do you see? Can you pastebin it? === Xae8koo is now known as energY [02:52] jero: How does 8.04 speed compare to 8.10? [02:52] hmm anyone [02:52] malibu - 8.04 is faster in my vbox - much faster [02:53] jero: that seems far-fetched [02:53] tritium: yes, in a moment [02:53] malibu: quite comparable [02:53] l7: mine seems ot be 100% defaults [02:53] malibu: I jumped up to 8.10 when it came out, and though I have no objective numbers, it does seem a little slower. [02:54] russM: I guess that teaches me to do alittle research first.. newer not necessarily better [02:54] how can i tell if my router is a b g or n? [02:54] tritium: [Act: 9,10,11] === toga30 is now known as ToGa [02:54] [#ubuntu] [02:54] whups [02:54] tritium: here it is: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d27c070bc [02:54] tritium nope, it is not. The mesa software acceleration on the 8.04 running in a vbox with the vbox tools installed, gives me 1800fps in glxgears . In 8.10 i get only around 400fps. But i also notice that when i run my opengl C code i develope within the vbox. On 8.04 my cube spins juust fine. 8.10 has problems with drawing it fast enough, making it look messy [02:54] l7: looks like irssi ;) [02:55] yeah, mispaste :) [02:55] so it gets to that point and then i just see a blinking cursor [02:55] jero that couild be a schedualer... try nice [02:55] jero: most benchmarks I've seen show performance gains (slight, but gains, nonetheless) [02:55] ctrl-c doesn't allow me t escape either [02:55] to* [02:56] malibu: In fact, newer is quite often worse... I immediately had problems because nothing worked with the new kernel yet (that is, things like VMWare). Took a little bit for the rest of the world to catch up. [02:56] tritium - i am not saying there is not faster than 8.04 out there, cause there is, icebuntu 7.10 for example is even faster, but it is not fun working with it. 8.04 is very much like native in full screen. In fact i use it more often than my host OS [02:56] malibu: But someone has to run the new stuff, or the problems never get fixed. [02:56] tritium - well, not in a vbox. Maybe on a desktop [02:56] jero: correct [02:56] l7: hitting "enter" doesn't get you a command prompt? [02:58] tritium: no, it just creates a new line in the terminal screen, but nothing happens [02:58] acer aspire one 8.10 wifi trouble please help [02:58] Hiya, I may be just not seeing it, but I can't find the link to the 8.10 torrent. :\ [02:59] l7: that's quite odd.

Driver installed... when i try to play a vid mplayer is giving me the following: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/394040/ [03:25] oopsies, my bad [03:25] arvind_khadri, can you suggest me any nice theme for intrepid? :) [03:25] zXstanyXz: hmm... crash x-server in ? [03:26] progre55: gnome-look.org has got tons of them [03:26] thansk man ) [03:26] progre55: i installed ibex today :) [03:26] what you mean in arvind_khadri? [03:27] zXstanyXz - my success with this ati mobility 9600 was just installing 8.04 ubuntu, which had 3d acceleration work straight for some stuff like openarena , but no compiz. Then i just clicked on the enable proprietary driver under hardware, and had the full fglxr acceleration going after a sudo aticonfig --initial -f . So i got full acceleration including compiz with just 1 click. [03:27] zXstanyXz: when you say the drivers crash X what do you mean by that?? you dont get the resolutions thats it? [03:27] zXstanyXz - if you bothered with the newest drivers of the ati site, i am not suprised you ran into issues. I could get their newest beta 9.2 to work however. But then it would crash randomly on my ATI card [03:27] This is my setup: Computer>Router>Internet , I need the setup to be Computer>router>router>Internet. How do i do that? [03:28] RussM: No, not for VM Server 2.. The web console is it. I got minimenu for Firefox and put it on the same line as my address bar [03:28] zXstanyXz: so now what do you want when you have it working? [03:28] when i restart the computer the x-server crashes when trying to start up and i have to switch to the console to log in and reboot the computer.. arvind_khadri [03:28] RussM: The console doesn't work with Chrome, unfortunately. Google's fault, not VMWare's [03:29] jero my card is an asus ati radeon HD4850 and trying to use either the newest drivers from the site or the drivers in the ubuntu repository [03:29] zXstanyXz: hmmm look into the xorg.conf file and check out which drivers its using.... i dont know the module name properly but must be ati ... [03:29] can any body tell me what packages i need download to play regular dvd [03:30] This is my setup: Computer>Router>Internet , I need the setup to be Computer>router>router>Internet.

OR would be better using ndiswrapper???? [03:30] zXstanyXz as you are messing around with ati drivers, you might as well try the newest 9.2 beta. might work for you [03:30] kingtut: Called movie player. [03:30] Cody: Totem [03:30] kingtut: It might all be in ubuntu-restricted-extras (sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras) [03:31] MeVsTheVoices: Whats totem? [03:31] zXstanyXz: look into the xorg.conf file for fglrx [03:31] so should look for .deb installs when installing software for ubuntu right? and what is YUM? [03:31] Cody: The real name for movie player [03:31] Okay ty. [03:31] a quite crappy movie player [03:31] use VLC [03:31] Yes n deed. [03:31] /join #ubuntu-us-oh [03:31] G-Bleezy: install only from the repos... [03:31] G-Bleezy: You should look for .deb, YUM is for different distros, same idea, different format [03:32] atm i know its not there arvind_khadri cos xfix removes it from there when i recover my install [03:32] i am useing vlc player and keffeine player [03:32] k...i was just installing flash plugin and it gave me 5 options.. [03:32] i'll go with .deb Ubuntu +8.03 [03:32] Cpudan80: why does everyone recommend VLC over mplayer? [03:33] brian____: because VLC plays everything and doesnt complain [03:33] brian____: because not everyone does I recommand mplayer over VLC to a point [03:33] hey wait...what do you open .deb's with? [03:33] zXstanyXz: seems like you dont have enough luck with fglrx .... after you recover your install is it possible for you to have accelarated graphics? [03:33] Cpudan80: yes maybe back in 1998 VLC was like that [03:33] brian____: plus it has ports for mac/windows so you can use it anywhere === VoX is now known as vox [03:33] G-Bleezy: dpkg -i [03:33] kitche: It still is ... [03:33] nopes arvind_khadri, not that i know of [03:33] k [03:33] brian_: Faster older, more formats supported, larger base, more bug reports, faste bug fix time, faster buffer rate, easy transcoding, ncurses interface, multi-platform mozilla plugin, need more? [03:33] G-Bleezy: you can double-click on then...gdebi handles them...or from cli dpkg -i [03:34] kitche: or well, it comes prepacked with virtually everything you need to run anything common [03:34] zXstanyXz: did you try googling about your issue...the forums? [03:34] HeVsTheVoices: guess I'll have to look at it again. [03:35] Hi, can anyone point me to a reasonable method of ripping dvds on ubuntu?

[04:16] UH-OH... back to that problem with firefox loading in fullscreen again... i thought disabling greasemonkey fixed it, but i was wrong [04:16] i rebooted after using a puppy linux live CD and now x server won't show anything [04:17] I dont suppose anyone knows how to fix firefox loading into fullscreen when you open an outside link or first launch it? [04:17] Dr_willis I want to add another session to the GDM sessions list that will only use one of my monitors rather than TwinView [04:17] arvind_khadri: binarymutant ls m\ music/*.wma doesn't work [04:17] can someone please help me edit my &PATH [04:17] Bug!

[04:18] Hi, I have a Canon IXUS 860 IS. I tried to enable F-Spot to automatically import photos when I connect it, but it keeps say it can't access the device, it's already in use. [04:18] !$path [04:18] 没有中文的说吗？ [04:18] Also, somebody asked me to run /usr/bin/gphoto2 --list-files and I got the same error [04:18] Would anybody know what is using the device? [04:18] Newfie_rich - i think sudo vim /etc/environment might help you [04:19] arvind_khadri: as in ls -R | grep wma [04:19] scunizi: fine [04:19] does openoffice.org 3.0 handle SVGs with transparent backgrounds correctly? because 2.4 certainly doesn't... [04:19] shingalated, well its proberly doable.. you can make a whatever.desktop session to run whaever command ya need. But im not sure where you would tell X what xorg.conf file to use specifically. (its doable from the command line) Or you could 'cheat' and make the whatever.desktop session copy some xorg.conf.notwinview to xorg.conf , then launch i guess.. but that may not work.

[04:22] is ext4 stable enough to use in production? [04:22] Is screenlets help to taboo for this channel? [04:22] I guess if I have to ask that, it is, aint? [04:23] !patience | WIGGMPk [04:23] WIGGMPk: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [04:23] Not? [04:23] binarymutant: wait for Jaunty [04:23] shingalated, ive seen examples/guides on the Gentoo Nvidia wiki pages where they some how passed a argrument/option to the X system and used different 'sections' of a xorg.conf for various setups. (one to enable tv out, one to enable 2 monitors, one for 1 monitor) - Im just not sure how ya integerate it with gdm. [04:24] binarymutant: im not sure why you just ubottu'ed me patience.. I was kinda talking to myself about asking about screenlets in this channel.. [04:24] shingalated, so they had one large (complex?) xorg.conf - and dident need to use several of them. [04:24] shingalated: if you're looking for dual monitors nvidia-settings makes it pretty painless after you mess with it for a while.. [04:24] Dr_willis, I'll see if I can find that in the gentoo wiki [04:24] scunizi, I was thinking of dist-upgrading to Jaunty but wanted to make sure ext4 wouldn't have any file loss, do you know if it does? [04:25] Good evening [04:25] how to only change the gnome panel font [04:25] shingalated, yea - some of the gentoo wiki pages are VERY VERY detailed :) they are not scared to dig in. [04:25] binarymutant: I seem to remember reading today that ext4 is now listed as stable.. [04:25] help! i rebooted after using a puppy linux live CD and now x server won't show anything [04:25] scunizi, ty [04:25] I have been googling invalid dts/pts combination has there been a fix for this? [04:25] binarymutant, from what im hearing in #fedora-classroom - the fedora people consider it mature enough to use in their next release also. [04:25] Dr_willis, ty [04:25] ubuntu won't even play the intro bongos [04:26] :( help [04:26] Will have will speak Chinese? [04:26] binarymutant, Not that I know how TRUE this is.. but when in doubt.. dont use it i guess. :) [04:26] I gone and done it now lol.... wiped out my %PATH all together by mistake, and now I can't run any commands in terminal [04:26] binarymutant: I'll second that for Dr_willis [04:26] wartalker, its under System->Preferences->Appearance in the Font tab [04:26] jó reggelt mindenkinek :) [04:27] ive not kept up with ext4 or what features it has that i even need. [04:27] Dr_willis: speed [04:27] scunizi, +1 for speed [04:27] hey guys... how do you disable an account from logging in? Isn't there a flag that can be set that prevents login? [04:27] binarymutant: i want to only change the panel font, and not change others [04:28] ext4: I read the specs on it and right now-- from what I understand is that grub has some issues booting ubuntu off it .. (last what I read about it) [04:28] hyyyyyyyyy [04:28] gbear14275: usermod -L (I think) [04:28] gbear14275: passwd has a -l switch to "lock" [04:28] redvamp128, really :( [04:28] tritium: Thanks,...I'm here to study...but I knew it was -l [04:29] MaxRide: :) [04:29] hyyyyyyyyyyyyyy [04:29] I am using Intrepid Ibex (2.6.27-11-generic (amd64)) and every time I load, the screenlets that I have active are not automatically going to the widget layer.. is anyone else experiencing this? Is this a problem with screenlets or the compiz?? Any help is appreciated, even though its not ubuntu specific. [04:29] muaniezzzzzzzzzz: please stop [04:29] MaxRide: tritium: I need the account to still be able to pass mail... just want to disable login... that the correct thing? [04:29] binarymutant: and found a post that says you have to recompile your kernel to use it-- plus -- you have to put the boot on a ext2 or ext3 then a redirect.. [04:30] hey i installed ubuntu in virtualbox, and im having trouble getting it to use my native monitor resolution [04:30] gbear14275: I can't speak for mail. That switch locks the account. Please "man passwd" for more details. [04:30] /b #weechat [04:30] thank you [04:30] wayStead - mount the vboxadditions and install them. then all works [04:30] redvamp128, you have to custom compile a kernel? the one in Jaunty won't work with it? I thought that was the big feature of Jaunty :( [04:31] wayStead: the host OS, not ubuntu in a virtual machine, would be where you want to look at monitor resolution [04:31] http://lwn.net/Articles/299483/ is there a step by step guide for this? [04:31] wayStead - without the additions your mouse will be clumsy and the graphics slow, plus it wont autoadjust your resolution [04:31] orly_owl: On setting up bootchart? Install it. [04:31] Can someone please help me get my microphone working? [04:32] Flannel: no, on getting an eee pc to boot hardy in 5 seconds [04:32] jero - thks [04:32] orly_owl, it was a hack, he booted into run levels before they were done loading [04:32] is that bad? [04:33] anyone here good with ati graphics? im having a strange problem [04:33] orly_owl, could be it's really all about what you need [04:33] binarymutant: though I would ask that about a feature in #ubuntu+1 [04:34] redvamp128, good idea thanks [04:34] XP box can see ubuntu shares but ubuntu cannot see XP shares. no firewall on XP. what could be the problem [04:34] ? [04:34] kindofabuzz: samba installed? [04:34] Thanks for the help guys [04:34] i solved all my problems [04:35] ndogbosok, yeah, but you don't need samba to see window shares, just samba for windows to see linux shares [04:36] want to buy some fixing my microphone love! [04:36] if I'm using raid 0 for speed, can I do that with a software raid? [04:36] kindofabuzz: what version of xp do you have? cos it sounds like the problem is prolly on the xp side of things === kosh_ is now known as koshd [04:37] does anyone know how to fix the xmms minimize error [04:37] ubuntu philippines [04:37] .ubuntu philippines [04:37] zXstanyXz, home i think [04:37] !ubuntu philippines [04:37] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:37] not sure it isn't mine [04:37] adubz, xmms?

[04:39] but why didn't it auto see it all? [04:39] nyaa: In fact...just plan no. Software raid uses system resources where-as hardware raids do not. [04:39] nyaa - with a fast cpu, a software raid0 is just as fast. [04:39] nyaa: With the proper hardware, the raid is set up in the cards BIOS (Not really seen by the OS)...IE: Dell servers [04:39] jero - i am getting a "command not found" error when i tried to run the Vbox additions executable [04:40] jero - i had to use sudo since it wanted to be run as admin [04:40] jero - so I'll get the same advantage for speed? (if with a fast processor?) [04:40] * rlee just turns off his fakeraid in bios and uses dmraid [04:40] wayStead - note the its VBo... with capital B [04:40] wayStead: in ubuntu or kubuntu [04:40] jero - nvm i had to do ./VBox [04:41] why is that anyway ? lol kinda annoying [04:41] nyaa yes, hardware raids have other benefits. You do not require any drivers. Most onboard raid0 solutions are just software raids backed up with some hardware for setting up the raid [04:41] maxride but its not that way from what I've seen, everything in linux is showing 2 drives instead of 1 [04:41] wayStead, ./ is like sh, it runs a program [04:41] hhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyy [04:41] jero thanks =) [04:42] binarymutant - can i use csh with ubuntu ? [04:42] help! i rebooted after using a puppy linux live CD and now x server won't show anything [04:42] wayStead, yes, I might not sure how csh runs things though, it might run thing the same way as bash but not sure [04:43] I'm not sure* [04:43] jero: What's your experience with RAIDS and Ubuntu? Mine has been to set up the RAID in the card and the BIOS takes care of the rest (Although, I think the OS still sees the physical disks and knows it's a raid). [04:43] Hi guys, does anyone get a "Packages not trusted" when trying to install Mercurial? (aptitude install mercurial) [04:44] ArtVandalae, what repo are you using? [04:44] binarymutant, only the defaults :\ that's why I ask [04:44] how do i use chmod to 775 a folder recursively? [04:44] bdelin881, chmod -R 775 folder [04:44] bdelin881, -r or -R probably [04:45] hmm, doesn't seem like it's working [04:45] can anyone guide me through making a startup script? [04:45] MaxRide - if it is a real hardware raid, then the OS doesnt need to know anything. It just sees a single disk [04:45] ArtVandalae, do you have the ubuntu-keyring and debian-keyring installed? [04:46] hey could someone give me an idea what command I should be using in terminal to take a lircd.conf file from my desktop and copying it over the current one in ect/lirc ? [04:46] everyone's got a working system... except me! please help [04:46] ubuntu 8.10 fyi [04:46] all i have is a black screen [04:46] can someone show me how to use csh with ubuntu ? [04:46] MaxRide - on those semi hardware onboard raids, your OS just needs to have the driver. Pure software raids i never tried. I know OsX allows you to create software raids right in the partitioning process [04:46] GreenHorn, sudo cp Desktop/lircd.conf /etc/lirc/ [04:46] if i could help i would desert first day here :( [04:46] does anyone know why after the most recent updates in 8.10, it will not allow my screens to be set to 1920x1200 resolution? It will only allow up to 1600x1200 resolution at this time. [04:46] GreenHorn, to copy fles from one system to another over the lan.. scp is very handy.. You need to insall ssh on both systems I think. (or at least the one you are copying to) [04:46] thank you binarymutant I'll try now [04:46] wayStead: why are you wanting csh over bash? [04:47] wayStead: why not just sudo sh ./VBox [04:47] nyaa: jero: I think you're going to want to invest in a proper RAID card to see an advantage. It sounds like you really want the performance increase, so it'll be worth it. [04:47] thanks GreenHorn =\ [04:47] GreenHorn, "sudo cp /etc/lirc/lircd.conf /etc/lirc/lircd.conf; sudo cp ~/lircd.conf /etc/lirc/lircd.conf" [04:47] Hello [04:47] what's the best price to performance for raid cards? [04:47] like $100? [04:47] MaxRide - the advantage i see is that you do not have to setup drivers, otherwise modern cpus are fast enough to handle software raids easily [04:48] GreenHorn, Oops, the first one should have been making a backup, but I forgot to change the second filename. [04:48] nyaa: Fairly cheap (for the cheap stuff)...Less than $100 if I remember correctly.....However, with RAID 0 I lost 800GB of data...so that's your 'fair warning'. [04:48] ouch [04:48] deserteagle, ctl+alt+F1 may get you to a text login [04:48] ut oh [04:48] thats actually ok [04:48] atom^x: it doesn't :( [04:48] i remember losing three monthes work due to thrashing on my swap disk [04:48] i don't really need a back up already have one I believe [04:49] so should I just stick with this command? sudo cp /etc/lirc/lircd.conf /etc/lirc/lircd.conf; sudo cp ~/lircd.conf /etc/lirc/lircd.conf [04:49] always have a large usb/eSata/firewire HDD with a powerswitch for the backup is my thinking [04:49] rlee: It was all my anime / movies. I had a 1TB Iomega external disk....be wary of Iomega...in total I've lost more than 2TB by buying from them. [04:49] atom^x: just before launching X i goto terminal 1 and i can log in... as soon as X launches, screen goes blank [04:49] backup and turn it off, protecting it against any kind of attack as well [04:49] Does anyone use pydev for eclipse? [04:50] GreenHorn, The general form is "sudo cp sourcefile destfile" [04:50] i can't get it to update. [04:50] odd [04:50] yeehaw! thanks, that worked like magic. believe me I was trying everything. just what I needed [04:50] anyone? [04:50] deserteagle, can you choose recovery mode from grub? [04:50] hello [04:50] can someone help me with creating a startup script. I've got one but it's not working like I would like [04:51] i have been using csh in all my classes so i thought it would be better to stick to it [04:51] Hi [04:51] one more quick question, is LIRC going to recognize my Phillips eHome receiver right off the bat or do I need a conf file for that as well? [04:51] What platform uses csh? === ftehw_ is now known as ftehw [04:51] hello, im tryin to get a swap on fstab i type options like none swap sw 0 0 is that correct? [04:51] Can someone PRETTY PLEASE help me add a directory to my PATH [04:52] I can't figure it out [04:52] Newfie_rich - i told you - sudo vim /etc/environment [04:52] I'm attempting to obtain the linux headers for my kernel which 'uname -r' says is 2.6.24-18-generic ... but I'm getting 'Package linux-headers-2.6.24-18-generic is not available, but is referred to by another package.' [04:52] swap options on fstab could some on check options please? [04:53] jero: thanks, you message must of got lost in the chat :D [04:53] Maxride: thanx for the warning [04:54] * rlee prefers brand name HDs [04:54] rlee: Sure thing. =)( [04:54] Newfie_rich - in 8.10 there is a bug with this however. it requires me to log out and in to get it working. In 8.04 it works fine [04:54] http://pastebin.com/f649f49aa ... lucax.. this is my fstab.. uuid can be discovered with sudo blkid [04:55] does any one knows howto check some ip port, for proxy in bash [04:56] what kernel should I have with ubuntu 64bit right now to be up-to-date? [04:56] jero: just edited it guessing i am going to have to restart for it to take effect eh? [04:56] Newfie_rich log out and in should be enough [04:56] uspenok: bash is a shell it can't do that, you want something like nmap [04:56] Newfie_rich - maybe not even that, just start a terminal and check $PATH [04:56] ikonia: thx [04:56] AndrewGearhart: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.. then on boot the latest kernel will be listed on top of the grub menu [04:57] hi all, this may be a more hardware question but...when I download ubuntu is defaults to the i386 desktop version...is there not an x86 version? I thought i386 refers to the 80386 chip...I also assume this bundle isn't optimized for my processor (intel core 2 quad)...is that righT? [04:57] hey everyone , can you help me setup skype on my ubuntu install? it doesnt seem to be working [04:57] !skype > GeffIsLegend [04:57] I want to send a live CD for ubuntu to a friend for her young son and then do a remote install. I can do this via ssh - but is there a utility for the target machine to send the IP address back to my machine once its on the net? I run static IP's [04:57] GeffIsLegend, please see my private message [04:57] terr_: how do you plan to do it over ssh ? [04:58] jbu311: No, i386 is the generic term for the 32bit intel compatable processors. the -generic kernel does all the optimizations for the processors. [04:58] ii keep getting the error message "problem with audio playback" [04:58] jbu311: you've got the right one... the intel c2q can also run 64bit ... but the i386 is what you probably want. [04:58] jbu311: although it shows i386 .. the kernel discovers x86 code and uses it. [04:58] will xubuntu run fine in vbox ? [04:58] wayStead yes [04:58] wayStead: sure [04:58] wayStead 8.04 will run faster in it than 8.10 [04:58] Flannel, so when I compile the kernel, and it creates the kernel images for different architectures, it gives me a kernel for x86 and i386...should I then choose x86? [04:59] scunizi: that will update me... correct? I'm currently running with Intrepid... will that take me to something later (am I perhaps missing a kernel upgrade or something)? [04:59] i googled around and people seem to state issues about problems with vboxadditions [04:59] jbu311: Why are you compiling a kernel? [04:59] Flannel, or choose i386? [04:59] jbu311: why are you compiling th kernel ? [04:59] Also - I've looked at a few suggestions for small low power web servers and see new preicess from $199 for a fitPC up into the $400 range for an HP netbook 1000MI. Are there any suggestions for cheaper used machines? [04:59] Flannel, optimizing speed and space, more of a learning experience [04:59] Flannel: too quick [04:59] ikonia I'll use ssh [04:59] AndrewGearhart: it will only update you on intrepid.. it won't take you to jaunty.. [04:59] terr_: how do you plan to use a gui installer ? [04:59] terr_: your other question is hardware and not on topic in here [04:59] ikonia I don't want to use a gui installer. [05:00] jbu311: You won't learn anything from compiling really. You effectively push a button and the software takes care of the rest. The -generic kernel does optimizations at runtime to take advantage of all of your processors abilities. [05:00] terr_: so what would you run to install via ssh ? [05:00] ikonia suggest a channel for the hw please. [05:00] terr_: I use "Sun Cobalts". They are a bit of a security risk but they're generally cheap ($100 to $250) and VERY nice. [05:00] wayStead You ll have to find out yourself i guess. doesnt take long to install anyway [05:00] scunizi: i'm trying to get vmware server working... and the problem that I'm having is that I can't locate the linux headers for my kernel [05:00] arvind_khadri: envyng worked :) thanks :) [05:00] ikonia all the instalelrs I've used to date are none gui [05:00] Flannel, thanks [05:00] terr_: on ubuntu ? [05:00] thanks all [05:00] MaxRide: thanks - I'll take a look [05:00] terr_: what command do you run to launch the installer ? [05:00] Looking for help creating a startup script [05:00] jero: whats that command one last time? i edited it and still now dice [05:01] AndrewGearhart: ah.. why didn't you say so.. sudo apt-get install build-essential so vmware can build it's kernel mod. [05:01] atom^x: none of the utilities in the recovery mode helped :( [05:01] jero - do you think it will run better than ubuntu in vbox, im having perormance problems with ubuntu [05:01] ikonia: I've never used ubuntu. I currently run debian and on the other servers its red hat or OpenBSD [05:01] dont really have a great comp [05:01] So every time I hibernate it says that there isnt enough swap and sends me back to a locked screen login. Right now I have 4GB of RAM and 4 GB of swap (which is probaby too much but the ubuntu swap page said that you should have as much or twice as much swap then you do RAM). I originally installed to have 1.5 gigs of swap but then followed the swap faq to make more (2.5 to make it 4 total). So anyways now when I swap it very [05:01] frequently says there isnt enough space. Its usually when I have quite a few programs open (or firefox with a lot of tabs) but I have checked my memory before using "free" before and after i tried to swap and the results were me having 3.4 gigs of RAM free and 3.0 gigs of swap free. So I dont understand how it could be telling me I didnt have enough swap free. Any help? [05:01] wayStead - which version of Ubuntu did you use, and what cpu is it? [05:01] terr_: ok - so you won't be able to install ubuntu via ssh [05:01] ive got a general computer question, if i installed the x86-64 version of ubuntu will ia64 versions of other operating systems install on my computer [05:01] terr_: the ubuntu installer is gui based, and the non-gui installer is on a seperate cd that does not have ssh installed on it [05:01] ikonia: wht sort of crap is that? [05:01] jero- i used 8.10 and using a penitum M 2.0 ghz 2gb ram (gave ubuntu 512mb) [05:01] terr_: it's a home user desktop system [05:02] ikonia: I'll build my own CD [05:02] terr_: The server I just recommended you is configured via a browser...so it's easy to learn (If you can configure a WRT54G, then you can config this)....you can also console in and get the full linux experience [05:02] I have ubuntu 8.10 [05:02] deserteagle, perhaps rename xorg.conf to xorg.backup, ten rename xorg.conf.failsafe to xorg.conf [05:02] MaxRide: I'll have a look... checking now. [05:03] wayStead - then you want to use jeOS and do apt-get install Xorg, apt get install xdm, apt get install icewm - jeOS 8.04 or 7.10 - 8.10 or 9.04 are SLOW! [05:03] wayStead - also ubuntu 8.04 will be faster than 8.10 [05:03] in the vbox [05:03] terr_: By the way: What are your requirements? HTML serving? Samba? FTP? E-Mail? [05:03] atom^x: now at least the X cursor shows up in the middle of the screen (won't move when i move the mouse) any sugestions? [05:04] MaxRide: all of the above [05:04] none of those links are helping me with skype, i already tried all the support links and i still keep getting "problem with audio playback" error [05:04] deserteagle, you might try to reconfigure X as well, xorg-conf i think [05:04] !hi [05:04] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [05:04] terr_: Well, Cobalts do FTP, E-mail, Web sites, DNS, ETC....I think you'll need to do some hacking (well, installing) for Samba. [05:04] Newfie_rich - maybe you want to do it with gedit then - try sudo gedit /etc/environment -- replace gedit with your prefered editor like vim vi nano etc [05:05] jero - i dont get what u said about jeOS,. whats apt-get ? [05:05] scunizi: no dice "Package linux-headers-2.6.24-18-generic is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package linux-headers-2.6.24-18-generic has no installation candidate" [05:05] atom^x: through the recovery mode or live cd? [05:05] MaxRide: I'll install everything from scratch.. just looking for HW suggestions [05:05] AndrewGearhart: open synaptic and search for it there.. synaptic is in System>Admin [05:06] deserteagle, i would try recovery mode... [05:06] terr_: This hardware may not like that. No CD-ROM or anything...It's fairly picky. [05:06] jero - i dont get what u said about jeOS,. whats apt-get ? [05:06] scunizi: ah. I see the problem. [05:06] wayStead - jeOS 8.04 is an about 100mb iso which installs a minimal system without any display manager/environment, but with network access . With apt-get install you can load your own packages and create a lightweight environment [05:06] I would like to pin a subfolder from my home folder to the 'Places' directory that you see in the panel. how can I do this? [05:06] AndrewGearhart: ? [05:06] scunizi: uname -r is reporting a different kernel [05:06] MaxRide: then I'll say next [05:06] ex: Home, Pictures, video, music, "new folder" [05:07] terr_: I also like Dell servers. [05:07] terr_: Parts are abundent on Ebay and they aren't very expensive. [05:07] wayStead - the packages you need for a lightweight icewm environment i listed to you - Xorg , xdm, icewm - then reboot after you got those with sudo apt-get install [05:07] scunizi: uname -r = 2.6.24-18-generic while build-essential is doing linux-headers-2.6.27-7-generic [05:07] MaxRide: Hard to say... generally I don't like Dell. [05:07] Hi all [05:07] terr_: =/ Well. At my home I use an HP DL360....but HP servers are LOUD! [05:07] AndrewGearhart: you need to reboot into the new kernel [05:08] MaxRide: I have several machines here - jsut they are not small [05:08] navigate to parent folder and sudo mv new\ folder "location" ? [05:08] I noticed that OpenOffice has been released in version 3.0. The one I have installed is 2.4, and the Update Manager doesnt tell me anything about it, anyone can help me please? [05:08] MaxRide: HP netbook 1000MI $387 new [05:08] linux_guy, navigate to the folder, select bookmark -> add bookmark [05:08] scunizi: ? how do I "reboot into the new kernel"? [05:08] terr_: Is this a test platform? [05:09] Is there a channel which specializes in small form factor HW? [05:09] MaxRide: nope - commercial product & runs on Ubuntu. Impressive [05:09] In UButu reposteries I just can find the 2.4, is there any reaso for this? [05:09] AndrewGearhart: the .27-7 kernel looks to be the newest..so just reboot and on the grub menu you should be able to choose.. it's usually the top on the list [05:09] Kokloco, it should be in the next release; an ubuntu release's packages are 'frozen' on release, and only replaced for major bug reasons [05:09] terr_: ....You are making a commercial product? [05:09] nickrud, i am officially embarrassed [05:10] linux_guy, heh. I won't ask you to change your nick ;p [05:10] MaxRide: not at this point - HP has.. 7 watts - netbook [05:10] ok, [05:10] I as afaraid my system was not working properly [05:10] *linux_guy is now known as Captain Obvious [05:10] I was afaraid my system was not working properly [05:10] rflol [05:10] scunizi: ah... I think I know the problem.... the menu... I had some issues initially... I have multiple drives in my system and it was selecting the wrong drive... so I've been hesitant to let the upgrades change menu.lst (I believe it is) [05:10] hi, anyone know how I would go about adding directories to computer:/// found in Places>Computer menu [05:11] jero - thks again for the help [05:11] AndrewGearhart: been there done that.. [05:11] nickrud, and when is the new realease comming? [05:11] nickrud, thanks man [05:11] wayStead good luck with it, VMs are lots of fun [05:11] joshjtl, only by adding new devices/partitions, that's it's purpose [05:11] terr_: Well, the best I can tell you is that if you're trying to run a server on a netbook...than any old desktop will work. [05:11] !jaunty | Kokloco [05:11] Kokloco: 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. [05:11] wayStead and you can carry them with you on your next system OS independend [05:11] MaxRide: I already run on old desktops and they work greate [05:11] nickrud, ok thanks [05:11] nickrud: but isnt it a something.desktop file? [05:12] scunizi: so, based on the fact that i've probably screwed up the menu.lst.... what do I do now? /me raises his arms in frustration with himself for doing system updates late at night [05:12] terr_: I'll bet....I'd say stick with them. [05:12] joshjtl, I don't believe so; but can't swear to it. [05:12] because if it is, that can be easily edited [05:12] AndrewGearhart: there is a command .. something like sudo update-grub. but I'm not sure what it is exactly [05:13] does anyone have a strong preference of either banshee, or rhythmbox? === jakswa|away is now known as jakswa [05:13] I'm trying to decide which to use [05:13] scunizi: that appears to be it [05:13] MaxRide: I might have to.. but I looked at that UBUNTU netbook and it got me thinking. Even a computer on a chip like a 133mHz class machine will suffice [05:14] AndrewGearhart: cool [05:14] hh [05:14] terr_: In the Navy, we had webservers on laptops (Seriously....desinged that way)....so it should work. === TechN9Ne_1730 is now known as UndertakerX2 [05:14] terr_: not for ubuntu... some linux distros [05:14] I have a laptop that uses hardware signals to determine if the earphone jack has something plugged in.

This is a hardware signal issue. This probably has little to do with alsa. I have sound through the speakers.

It has a whole run down on the how to's. [05:16] I have ubuntu 8.10. So every time I hibernate it says that there isnt enough swap and sends me back to a locked screen login.

So when I install something, then decide I don't want it, it removes those dependencies that were only installed because that app needed them. [05:17] joshjtl: sudo apt-get autoremove [05:18] joshjtl: that removes uneeded dependencies [05:18] Titan8990: is that an app? autoremove [05:18] AndrewGearhart: good luck.. I use to use vmware quite a bit until I had issues with one of the versions that just wouldn't work.. so I switched to virtualbox.. oh by the way.. install dkms .. it will help with kernel upgrades [05:18] Titan8990, yes that is what I am talking about. Alsa is the driver that facilitates audio connectivity to the kernel. I don't believe it handles signals for plugged in hardware directly.

CheesyWeasel, check gconf [06:07] CheesyWeasel: what you're talking about isn't so easy to accomplish. gui clients like what you mention in the forum have mechanisms to communicate with other stuff in the desktop environments [06:07] prince_jammys: i almost killed myself in there, the only active person was a complete moron [06:07] CheesyWeasel: ah, ok [06:07] Flannel: gconf?

[06:18] wolter: ah, you set the prompt through gnome-terminal [06:18] prince_jammys, yeah, but i want my user@machine:-$ to be in white [06:18] <^cheeky> oh sorry, iam also using ubuntu 8.10 [06:18] pano_fi: How did you remove them? [06:19] wolter, read the 'bash prompt howto' :) it gives massive amount of info on that topic [06:19] Flannel: with apt-get --purge remove [06:19] wolter, and a few 100 example prompts [06:19] Flannel: did it on several systems and always worked nicely, dunno what happened this time [06:20] can anyone recommend a decent AI bot?

[06:20] net [06:21] learn based off of conversations [06:21] ^cheeky: it could be due to your hardware missing (supported) sensors [06:21] Titan btw i installed OSS from source and it fixed the sound problem [06:21] wolter:try PS1=$(tput setaf 8)$PS1$(tput sgr0) in your shell [06:21] <^cheeky> pano_fi, this is a new machine i put together was hoping it would have sensors :/ [06:21] wolter: ah, no. there's more [06:21] can't get compiz to work due to my vm, can i get the visual effects any other way using a vm? [06:22] prince_jammys, well, i got the color back [06:22] whats that? [06:22] ^cheeky: just because it's new doesn't mean it will have sensors support [06:22] wolter:should have been PS1="\[$(tput setaf 8)\]$PS1$\[(tput sgr0)\]" [06:23] wolter: but you'd have to start another shell first [06:23] anyone using pon to dialup? [06:23] prince_jammys, nah, it works right away [06:23] prince_jammys, but, is the setaf 8 command restoring the gnome-terminal color? [06:23] or which command then? [06:23] <^cheeky> ikonia, so there isnt anything i can do ? [06:24] wolter: yeah, but if you try the second (correct) one, you should do it in a new shell [06:24] wolter: tput gets the escape sequences from the terminfo database. setaf sets the foreground [06:24] prince_jammys, ok, so tput setaf 8 restores color [06:24] ahh hm [06:24] and the 8? [06:24] wolter: no, sgr0 does [06:25] Hello [06:25] wolter: try other numbers. echo "$(tput setaf 2)hello$(tput sgr0)" [06:25] ^cheeky: not if it's not supported [06:25] <^cheeky> ikonia, ok thank you [06:25] prince_jammys, the tput sgr0 doesn't execute, but rather it appears as part of the prompt [06:25] How are you [06:26] I'm is Aun [06:26] wolter: oops, the dollar sign is in the wrong place [06:27] prince_jammys, where should i put it?

[06:28] prince_jammys, but i think i get it [06:28] mib_j28yrq: Nederland [06:28] is there any way to get a menu bar with tint2? ive seen screenshots with something similar to tint2 with a menubar and task tray that was not trayer [06:28] wolter: i don't know what role your terminal settings are playing. i normally set it "by hand" [06:29] prince_jammys, well, now i know how to change color, but, where do i get the table of what setaf does? [06:29] just upgraded Hardy to Intrepid. Impressed with the ease and quality of upgrade! Seems faster too. [06:30] So far, everything works! === JamesMowery is now known as JamesMowery|away [06:30] prince_jammys, and, if setaf 8 gives some specific color, then that is the exact color i had for my console [06:30] what strange, synaptic solved my issue... what does "mark for complete removal" does different from "sudo apt-get --purge remove" ? [06:30] Fezzler, are you using custom settings for theme files before the upgrade? IE: your own msn skins for amsn and your own themes for emerald etc... [06:31] yes [06:31] Fezzler, i would update but im scared of my system going fubar [06:31] The upgrade process saw custom config files and asked if I wanted to keep or replace [06:31] Fezzler, what about installed programs [06:31] I selected Keep and my look and feel is the same [06:32] trying to get friend to try linux and perfers to stay on winblows playing W0W [06:32] Well, I ran xchat, blender, inkscape all seem fine [06:32] I need help with that [06:32] Sage-X, you can play wow on linux using wine... it works perfect [06:32] Daft_Punk, as long as you don't have 3d party repo stuff, you should be fine for an upgrade [06:33] Daft_Punk: thanks bud [06:33] my themes and users and logins are all functioning [06:33] nickrud, i may have some 3rd party stuff [06:33] Can anyone recommend a decent AI bot?

[06:36] yes [06:36] Draft_punk: yea like anything [06:36] prince_jammys: no /home directory is followed by that [06:36] Sage-X, lots of mixing software for linux, google "linux dj software" or "linux mixing software" [06:36] ok thanks [06:37] Sage-X, also, its daft not draft [06:37] Sage-X: medibuntu has lots of stuff for mobile dj ,,, recording multitrack etc. [06:37] mib_j28yrq: this is a support channel, if you wish to just chat please join #ubuntu-offtoics [06:37] sorry I have the yuck yellow text for my irc pms and my vrightness is UBER high [06:37] Sage-X, scunizi is talking about a different distro of ubuntu i believe, called medibuntu that is used for media applications mostly [06:37] thanks all [06:37] Yuva: well, you need some unused space if you're going to expand the other partition [06:38] prince_jammys: i have 50gigs of unused partition [06:38] hmm [06:38] prince_jammys: i have 50gigs of unused free space but it is in the end... [06:38] ghyfdhdfsfyd [06:38] Sage-X, also tell your friend that linux support is mostly free, even though you can pay for professional support and there is live chat and the official ubuntu forums to post on and browse for issues, also tell him the security is way higher than that of windows [06:38] no virus :D [06:38] kkhjkh [06:38] Problem: My linux kernel is reported as compiled in gcc-4.2.3 VMware's kernels will be compiled with gcc-4.2.4 as such it doesn't want to work how do I get gcc-4.2.4 when aptitude only shows 4.2? [06:38] Yuva: you'll have to move the stuff around then, i think [06:38] wassap muh nurdzzz [06:39] Yuva: i've done it before, but i had to juggle the partitions around [06:39] http://www.mibbit.com/pb/elqC3X my fdisk -l [06:39] is there any way to get a menu bar with tint2? ive seen screenshots with something similar to tint2 with a menubar and task tray that was not trayer [06:41] Daft_Punk: yes I told him it was free and better security but being 16 and trying to reach out to my hard-headed friend I cant get through to him without a hard bargin [06:41] Sage-X, smack him [06:41] prince_jammys: http://www.mibbit.com/pb/elqC3X my fdisk -l [06:41] Sage-X: if he's really into sound mixing, he'll probably find the linux alternatives substandard [06:41] Daft_Punk: or just SSH over some DDos xD [06:42] argg.. how do I close a pm window in irssi? [06:42] Sage-X, with the new ubuntu intrepid version, you can use the installer disc to install ubuntu on his computer as a program on windows, so he can test it out without changing anything [06:42] prince_jammys: thnx [06:42] k I got my cd [06:42] I can give it to him and its his choice wether to use it or not [06:43] tell him just to install it as a program first on windows, also he can boot to the cd and use the live feature to test it out, also probably show him some screen shots of some custom ubuntu desktops that look wicked [06:43] why are you so bent on him installing ubuntu if he doesn't want to, anyway? [06:44] Daft_Punk: I think I just have to do it with him and do the "install inside of windows" option [06:44] prince_jammys, because windows simply sucks... its a multiconglamorate corporation out to get your money with the uber lame releases of windows that upon them "trying" fail to release a GOOD version [06:44] yeah, and ... [06:44] windows has print code in the assembly cursing gates lol [06:44] then you get stuck feeling like you have to fix any problem he has [06:44] prince_jammys, dont you want all your friends to be converted? i surely do [06:44] Daft_Punk: no, i don't convert people [06:45] prince_jammys, naw, tell him to rtfm [06:45] prince_jammys, you are a pure one [06:45] if they have an interest in it, i can help [06:45] if they don't, i don't force the issue [06:45] the world would be a better place if EVERYONE used linux and m$ didnt exist [06:46] in part because i know linux is not for everyone, and also because i don't want to be guilt-tripped into full-time support [06:46] add the third dimension to that :soalris [06:46] afk [06:46] scunizi: type /q [06:46] solaris* [06:46] prince_jammys, fair enough === JamesMowery|away is now known as JamesMowery [06:46] in the querry window [06:47] Daft_Punk: plus, there are certain fields where linux doesn't shine so much (games, the music mixing he was talking about) [06:47] don't get me wrong. i've been running linux exclusively for years [06:47] prince_jammys, oh for sure [06:48] prince_jammys, but you can substitute that with mac osx ;) [06:48] there you go [06:48] :) [06:48] mac osx is a bomb riddled with BSD all over it [06:48] Sage-X, not if you use mac hardware [06:49] mac hardware is specially designed for their software, if you run mac osx on a non-mac pc, yeah bsd [06:49] Daft_Punk: oh yeh besides it requires poopy hardware for expensive prices === me is now known as Guest88385 [06:49] Sage-X, actually the hardware designed for the mac is higher quality than your average run of the mill pc [06:49] my i7 pc can run osx [06:49] Sage-X, that is ONE reason it is higher priced [06:49] Sage-X, just because it can, doesnt mean it should :p [06:49] Daft_Punk, Sage-X: mind taking this conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic? thanks [06:50] sorry sir [06:50] * Daft_Punk salutes Flannel [06:50] how does one fix "must be root (or fake root) when converting .rpms to .deb? [06:50] Daft_Punk: shure obviously a jobs fan I got a mac too [06:50] its ok [06:51] Quicken2k: why do you want to do so? [06:51] Quicken2k: what are you trying to convert? [06:51] Quicken2k: as in which package [06:51] have my intel (video) driver that's rpm ubuntu needs to convert it to deb [06:52] Quicken2k: no, ubuntu has its own intel video driver packages. [06:53] that's funny it didn't find mine on install 82845G [06:53] should i use "apt-get install memcached php5-memcache" to install memcache? [06:53] Quicken2k: google it and you will find [06:53] K [06:55] hiya all. [06:56] I accidentally set my resolution way too low and now i can't really see the parts of the screen i'd need to change it back. :\ [06:56] So I'm thinking cli, right? except apparently reconfiguring xserver-xorg doesn't help, [06:58] hi, dumb question, I'm trying to write a one liner to rename all of the files containing the word 'bad' to good whatever it was: example badpidgeon.jpg becomes goodpidgeon.jpg. I've come up with this but it isn't working, any tips: find . -name "bad*" -exec mv '{}' `echo '{}' | sed 's/bad/good/'` \; [06:59] OmnipotentEntity: can't go about it that way [06:59] find is not a shell, so your pipeline won't work [07:00] OmnipotentEntity: go to #bash [07:03] how do i get the deskop items to look for binaries on the PATH ? [07:04] i have an existing software raid0 array of 2 drives, and i am looking to add 3 more drives to this array. can that be done without rebuilding the entire array? [07:04] does anybody know of a way to get a x-fi notebook to work with ubuntu 8.10 [07:05] hi [07:06] my system has gone wierd because it is trying to boot from a nonexistent uuid === Curtis is now known as Guest51473 [07:06] i booted the livecd and hit rescue and while there is a "Rescue Mode" up the top is appears to be trying to completely reinstall linux? [07:06] my video brightness hotkeys don't work, anyone know what package would be responsible? [07:07] how can i just get a working environment so i may e.g. mount my boot partition and inspect the grub.conf? i have tried alt+F2 to another terminal but when i try mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot it says invalid argument? [07:07] how do i get launchers to use the binaries in $PATH? [07:07] wolter, use the absolute path [07:08] bitfish, but can't i make desktop files look for binaries on the $PATH ? [07:08] wolter, sure, *if* they are *in* $PATH [07:08] bitfish, there are in $PATH.. [07:09] bitfish, i can run the binaries from terminal, but cannot from the desktop files. [07:09] how do i mount things in the rescue cd? [07:10] i try "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot" and it fails with an invalid argument [07:10] wolter, it doesn't make any sense to run cli-only applications from a desktop file [07:10] like, running "top" from a desktop file [07:11] bitfish, thats not the case. And I am not asking you whether is has or has not any sense, but just how to do it. [07:11] bitfish, I have applications installed on my home path, which have launchers in a folder that is added to $PATH which I can run from terminal, but I want to be able to just write the command on the desktop files, but I am not. [07:12] <__brett> Anyone know how to get pretty eye candy themes on ubuntu, with a dock and transparent windows? === lvlefisto1 is now known as lvlefisto [07:13] __brett, you can get a fancy dock, and something better than a dock, by downloading gnome-do [07:14] <__brett> How do I get more options for pretty themes, i dont see any in the System>Pref>Appearance [07:14] OmnipotentEntity: that's a great channel, by the way, with a great wiki and faq (whenever it gets fixed) [07:14] is linux newbie allowed here..?? [07:14] hello ubuntu comunity [07:14] Everyone asks me what verison of Ubuntu I have on... Hardy Heron, etc... Does it make a difference if I run all the updates when they are required? [07:14] __brett, you have to download them [07:14] heLEO: ok.. we [07:15] !hi [07:15] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [07:15] yes asc [07:15] heLEO: we'll let you in just for tonight [07:15] hi guys is the server install cd capable of acting as a rescue cd? [07:15] :) [07:15] because unless you tell it to update it wont [07:15] i can't like figure out how to get into an environment where i can do something uesful from it? [07:15] scunizi: thankks :/ [07:15] thanks;) [07:15] it will just update the programs and not the base parts of ubuntu [07:15] adante: it's not a live cd so no [07:15] adante: would you like to chroot into your workstation environment from a livecd? === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [07:16] heLEO: you have any questions just throw them out there and if anyone knows the answer they wil [07:16] OmnipotentEntity: that's a great channel, by the way, with a great wiki and faq (whenever it gets fixed) [07:16] psycodad: How do you tell it to update? [07:16] bwayne: i just want to get to an environment where i can say mount my boot partition, open the grub menu.lst and change the uuids because i think they have changed for some bizarre and largely incomprehensible to me reason [07:16] prince_jammys, thanks. :D [07:16] hi [07:16] is there a gui for remote server file magament so i can move stuff between folders on the server or is it all command line? [07:16] scunizi: if i delete my home partiton and create a new home partition will my OS boot? [07:17] no heleo [07:17] bwayne: i tried booting the server cd and going to the rescue option and it looked like it wanted to reinstall all of linux so i decided to back out because there is infact stuff on there i'd like to keep [07:17] adante: any livecd will accomplish that. [07:17] adante go download the regular live cd [07:17] heLEO: are you trying to move you /home? is that the reason you're doing that? [07:17] heh ok [07:17] adante: when you get to the menu, press ctrl-2 [07:17] was hoping to not have to download as i'm not on a big pipe here [07:17] no not trying to move home wanting to move some files inside of home without reuploading them [07:18] adante: when you boot from the server cd, you ought to be able to change tty's. [07:18] bwayne: ok [07:18] adante: from there you can mount /root and vim grub.conf [07:18] scunizi: i want to increate my /usr directory but /home is followed by it so cant able increase the size thats y..:P [07:19] bwayne: in the meantime when i try to boot now it can't find my root uuid, now i am trying to 'mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot' and it says error invalid argument, any idea why? [07:19] i want to increate my /usr directory size but /usr is followed by/home so cant able increase the size thats y.. [07:19] heLEO: yeah, you can do that. but you could also shrink the /home partition [07:19] sifhs [07:19] heLEO: you don't have to delete it. anyway, if you choose to, it won't ruin the OS [07:20] adante: you may need to create /mnt/boot before you attempt to mount to that point. [07:20] anyone remember how to tell VMware that I have two nics and it should use the 2nd nic eth1 instead of defaulting to eth0 -- so my guest can acquire the ip addr range of the 2nd ip also (bridge) ? [07:21] bwayne: yeah that directory does exist [07:21] heLEO: without really messing things up you could create a new partition large enough for /usr and point the system there.. or if you have enough space make a new partition for /home .. move your files.. redo /etc/fstab to reflect the new /home location and uuid #. shrink the old home after a reboot to the new home and increase /usr. not sure why you need to increase /usr.. what's going in there that takes so much room? [07:21] prince_jammys: my gparted image http://i40.tinypic.com/xbn0hc.png give me solution to increase the /usr directory [07:21] adante: and fdisk -l returns the drive as /dev/sda? [07:21] where is the grub manual for the menu.lst file? [07:22] adante: try man menu.lst or man grub.conf [07:22] bwayne: is menu.lst and grub.conf are same?? [07:22] heLEO: you could resize it to make space for the other one [07:22] bwayne: hm i have no entries for either of those [07:22] heLEO: in a lot of distro's, menu.lst is a symlink to grub.conf. [07:23] hi all! every time I run e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/vg1-lv1 I get new inode errors, even if I run the command two times in a row - I just finished a 22 hour e2fsck -cc check and _no_ bad blocks were found! what's going on? [07:23] Anyone available for help with a serious video problem? (x won't even load) [07:23] pm me, plz [07:24] no not trying to move home wanting to move some files inside of home without reuploading them [07:24] wow [07:24] dammit wrong repost [07:24] is there a gui for remote server file magament so i can move stuff between folders on the server or is it all command line? [07:24] adante: you don't have /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/grub/grub.conf ? [07:24] is there like an up to date copy of the grub config on the web? would somebody mind pointing it out to me? [07:25] bwayne: well my boot is not mounted so no, at the moment i'm in the busybox shell that you get into when booting fails because my uuids have changed [07:25] bwayne: (i think) [07:25] prince_jammys: can delete the whole extended partition after increasing the size of /usr and create new /home will that work... i dont have any content in /home .. yesterday oly installed Linux ;) [07:25] psywiped: there's gui ftp servers aplenty, if you're using ftp [07:25] adante: google: supergrub [07:25] psywiped: err.. ftp clients, i meant [07:26] adante: yeah, you need supergrubdisc [07:26] Hi. I'm working on a little window setup for my computer that puts a fullscreen gnome-terminal on workspace 4, and fullscreen quodlibet on workspace 3 (not sure if i'll keep either, mostly messing around). Thing is, though, I use compiz. And I also play games. I have a script that switches to metacity to play a game, then switches back. I also need to switch to metacity manually in the case that I need to run a game with no shortcut made for i [07:26] t yet. I was wondering if I could run devilspie with compiz on so that whenever I switched to metacity, it would move the windows where they need to be [07:26] automagic grub fixation [07:26] well im looking to move files between folders on the server with a gui [07:26] heLEO: why don't you just shrink the /home partition? you can do that with gparted [07:26] i dont think sftp is set up for that [07:26] Q. trying to figure out how to mount a firewire ieee1394 drive.. In /proc/devices I see a ieee1394 item, but I cant match it to anything in /dev .. ??? [07:26] psywiped: if you want to do so on Windows machines you can share your local partitions using SAMBA with full right access - if its between Linux machines there are other protocols like using WinSCP and SSHD (an ssh service) [07:27] and how do i do it if im off site and loged in thru ssh [07:27] psywiped: if you're between linux machines there's another protocol that's better to use than Samba, but I don't use it because all my friends and family are windows bound >.< [07:27] ZiRiS: sorry where is the grub doc exactly there? [07:27] heLEO: just slide it as if you were shrinking a window on your desktop [07:28] prince_jammys: ok i will give it a try..;) [07:28] how can I build qt4 apps with qmake-qt4? all the include directories get switched to qt3 [07:28] psywiped: You can use OpenVPN to tunnel into the machine's home network to directly access Samba and other network shares, or you can use SSH and graphical SSH tools like WinSCP (it will look like an FTP client) [07:28] When trying to reply to a post on the forums, it tells me I don't have permission to access the page, because of insufficient privileges or a disabled account. How might I find out what's wrong? [07:28] prince_jammys: if anything goes wrong i will clain insurance :):D [07:28] adante: you want supergrubdisc - it's an iso to download and burn to disk, then boot to - it fixes any and all grub issues that I've come across. Quite awesome actually. (googling now to get you specific address) [07:28] anyone remember how to tell VMware that I have two nics and it should use the 2nd nic eth1 instead of defaulting to eth0 -- so my guest can acquire the ip addr range of the 2nd nic also (bridge) ? [07:28] heLEO: i'll give you your money back ;) [07:29] cool ill give winscp a try [07:29] adante: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [07:29] psywiped: you could tunnel an X session with ssh, and run a graphical filebrowser [07:29] ZiRiS: no actually i just want to read the grub documentation to find out what what the uuid directive does :) but this seems to be very hard i can't seem to google it and it's not on my other computer? [07:29] looking for an AI bot that will learn based off of others conversations [07:29] adante: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [07:29] im on a vista mechean right now and im not sure how to do an x session [07:30] psywiped: that's if the remote machine is running X [07:30] psywiped: to do prince_jammy's tunneling idea you just use the -X option on SSH, it will invoke X forwarding and then you can just run a nautilus, konquerer, or your preferred file browser [07:30] arrenlex: you have to register in order to inlog in the forums [07:30] AI bot? o.O [07:30] ZiRiS: ok where is the grub doc exactly there? [07:30] quibbler: Yes, I am. [07:30] arrenlex: then inlog [07:30] adante: UUID is just another way of refering to a device, like /dev/sda1 [07:30] quibbler: It lists my account name and informs me that it does not have permission or has been disabled. [07:30] psywiped-> get a putty or a vnc client first [07:31] adante: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/index.php?pid=5 [07:31] adante: i don't prefer UUID's in my grub. i prefer device paths. [07:31] yea, uuid is ugly and has that auto-generated look [07:31] Anyone know how to fix video issues in 8.10? I can't even get xserver to load after 'installing' a vid driver. [07:32] bwayne: do you know how I can fnd a device path to my Acer stock ieee1394 port/disk? [07:32] darkblue_B: "port/disk"? [07:32] <^cheeky> anyone play any RTS games ? [07:32] bwayne: yeah well i don't like it either especially considering the drama it's giving me now but that's what is default now -- i'm just trying to fix it [07:32] <^cheeky> sorry [07:32] <^cheeky> wrong box [07:32] bwayne: I dont know.. tell me what the rght terminology is [07:33] darkblue_B: what are you trying to access, a hard drive? [07:33] bwayne: yes [07:33] bwayne: ok when i boot up, it says ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/ does not exist. Dropping to a shell! [07:33] ZiRiS: thanks for your help [07:33] adante: yeah. stupid. edit grub.conf and change dev/disk/by-uuid to /dev/sd?? [07:34] darkblue_B: so are you booting from a USB drive? [07:34] arrenlex: at the bottom of the page there is a contact us button ... sent the administrator an email [07:34] adante-> how many partitions do you have that are mountable? [07:34] adante: anytime I have the answers, they're yours! ;-) [07:34] bwayne: its booted from an SATA drive, which is treated as 'scsi'.. I just want to mount this firewire drive.. [07:34] quibbler: I figured it out. I need to read more... "You are browsing a READ only archive of the main support categories pre 4/21/2008. You will not be able to post or reply any threads in this section." [07:35] dont see anyhting in /dev that looks likely [07:35] arrenlex: i've done that too ;-) [07:35] bwayne: you mean the menu.lst right? i tried editing the boot line to root hd(0,0) but when i boot it still tries to find it by uuid for some reason [07:35] bwayne: hrm unless it has actually mounted my fstab and is looking for the other drive.. heh [07:36] darkblue_B: i see. try unplugging the drive, then plug it back in and check the output of 'dmesg' in the terminal. [07:36] Anyone have any knowledge of nVidia cards in 8.10? Or perhaps how to set vid driver to default via command line? [07:36] n8tuser: uh i have sda1 boot, sda2 swap, sda3 /, sdb1 /mnt/vault [07:36] n8tuser: course i dunno which are mountable because i cannot mount them because mount says invalid argument when i try to mount with valid arguments as far as i can see [07:36] anyone know how to allocate bandwidth between Files on one computer, this is so my Skype still works while Im downloading [07:37] adante: right. pastebin your menu.lst and /etc/fstab [07:37] adante-> you have to fix your fstab contents [07:38] MethinX: there are a few ways [07:38] bwayne: only msgs about eth0 in dmesg output.. ? [07:38] Anyone? Beuhler? Beuhler? Beuhler? [07:38] darkblue_B: not very promising. [07:38] MethinX: I presume you are downloading using firefox to download [07:39] cool winscp was just what i was looking for [07:39] n8tuser: righto cheers [07:39] MethinX: look into "packet shaping" - I've had a lot of issues with it myself but that's the google term you should hunt for [07:39] bwayne: so.. Ubuntu 8.04 is not seeing the port? [07:39] darkblue_B: read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firewire [07:39] bwayne: ok i'm booting again to try to do that, in the meantime can i ask: my menu.lst has a uuid = ; kernel = etc root= -- is this normal? [07:39] thats about vide3o [07:39] I ran into that several times this evening [07:39] :-/ [07:40] bwayne: ok i am still downloading hte livecd so i can't get my /etc because at the moment i can only boot into a retarded busybox shell that does not mount things [07:40] is the ubuntu 8.10 desktop cd the live cd? or where do i get the livecd now? [07:41] hi all [07:41] adante: yes, the Desktop CD is the liveCD [07:41] adante: yeah, you're gonna need a livecd. i recommend the gentoo or arch live cds because they go straight to a shell which is all you need. [07:41] Currently I'm booting to nothing but command line - right after changing my vid driver to the recommended driver - on a fresh install. Anyone have any suggestions? [07:41] geez 80gb over ethernet is gonna be slooowww [07:41] darkblue_B: 80 gb over just about anything is slooowww :-) [07:42] eSATA could probably do it the fastest [07:42] bwayne: ok thanks [07:42] Flannel: cheers [07:42] 13 days Windows free!!!! [07:42] i need to get me a wire so i can use esata [07:42] MethinX: Congrats! [07:42] Hi everyone...I have two audio cards in my computer and both seem to be registered in X (the sound mixer has both) Is there any way to get ALSA to stream audio to/from both? [07:42] *sigh* no chance to kick this system into finding the stock iee1394 port? [07:42] return to the dark side. [07:42] part of me wants to try the new Windows 7 but i will resist! [07:42] * freazer flings 30GB~50GB capacity HiDef and Blueray discs at darblue_B and bwayne! [07:42] bwayne: sorry to bohter but is the arch main cd the live cd? [07:42] MethinX: why? it's just software. [07:43] windows does that still exist [07:43] windows 7 is ok [07:43] freazer: aha [07:43] ?? [07:43] adante: yeah. [07:43] burn a dvd [07:43] co_ajjah [07:43] adante: i think they call it "core" or something. [07:43] MethinX: i got it working in virtualbox so just try it [07:43] bwayne: i'm just downloading archlinux-2008.06-core-i686.iso hope thats ok [07:43] bwayne: ok cheers [07:43] MethinX: Win 7?

[07:50] bwayne: actually its an inexpensive Acer that is the host.. [07:50] but yes [07:50] bwayne: nah didn't do ANYTHING regarding changing partitions, didn't add any new hdds or anything [07:50] psywiped: yes [07:50] darkblue_B: put Windows 7 on it. you'll thank me. [07:50] yep, the drivers are there, just doesn't know my monitor I think [07:50] bwayne: i have a raid card however on mirror raid so i'm wondering if the card did something fruity [07:50] Operating System [07:50] bwayne is mad as a Redmond hatter (!)

Voila, Tee'ing [07:54] Relentless, I'd rather not screw up all the rest of my audio, thanks. [07:54] linux audio. now there's a fun subject.

[07:56] savvas: firewire 800 [07:57] Chuppa lol troll [07:57] the Acer Aspire host is a tower [07:57] ZiRiS: the other option is to use a LiveCD, and then copy over the Xorg.conf stuff that it generates in the virtual filesystem over to your real implementation [07:57] chuppa you will never have to deal with vriuses again [07:57] Chuppa What do you need linux for in the first place [07:57] Chuppa: knowledge of linux can come in handy. [07:57] psywiped LOL [07:57] just LOL [07:57] i dont have linux [07:57] Chuppa: it's nice :) [07:57] Chuppa What do you already do on the computer [07:57] its faster smarter and easer to use [07:57] psywiped LOL [07:58] Chuppa: if you don't have Linux and you don't want Linux, don't use Linux. If you want Linux, download a LiveCD - you don't even have to install it, if you want to get rid of it take the CD disc out and just reboot [07:58] pantung #ubuntu.dk [07:58] chris? [07:58] Chuppa: you are looking for a torrent of responses, eh? No viruses, stable, free (in every sense of the word). [07:58] Relentless: i play online poker, chess, go, facebook, irc, and a few other games [07:58] freazer: nVidia 8600GT 8.10 boots to a command line, X fails directly after rebooting from installing the recommended drivers on a fresh install, all I did was the updates, rebooted, added the vid driver and rebooted, and got a command line. [07:58] Chuppa: it's all a matter of what type of computing you're looking for. [07:58] and if you build it right and learn how to program it can make you pizza [07:58] how do you reindex files with gnome-do? [07:58] Chuppa then tbh stick to windows [07:58] !dk [07:58] For at få dansksproget support til Ubuntu, bedes du venligst gå til #ubuntu-dk. I denne kanal forefindes kun engelsksproget support.

My version of windows are pirated [07:59] Chuppa: Just hang out in this channel and read all the problems people are having ^^ [07:59] I just installed Ubuntu the 64 bit version. My processor is an Intel Core 2 6600. When i tried to install 'Adobe flash player', I get the error message 'error wrong architecture i386' [07:59] I have yet to buy software [08:00] Relentless: don't discuss pirated software here [08:00] lol tritium Im not I was just saying...

(It's what i learned because there was $ there.) What files would I copy over? [08:00] savvas: http://paste.ubuntu.com/115558/ [08:00] *IIS [08:00] and to where? [08:00] Relentless: it's strictly offtopic [08:01] is it flash-nonfree or nonfree-flash? [08:01] Relentless: Bound by morals and laziness. Linux is faster than hacking windows [08:01] Gates Tru [08:01] belesprit: From what I've read there is no 64 bit flash - and that's adobe's fault [08:01] psywiped: probably flashplugin-nonfree [08:01] well any other alternatives?

I had planned to stay at something stable on the tower.. [08:04] HEleo: grub? [08:04] HEleo-> put fedora on another partition and you can still share /home [08:04] heleo make 2 partitions on your hdd and install [08:04] oiweyfoisdng [08:04] savvas: but if thats the case... hmm dont know [08:05] bele you have to enable all the reporsitories [08:05] Нш [08:05] did each os should have atleast one primary partion ?? [08:05] Hi [08:05] darkblue_B: I would like to see if it's working at all with ubuntu [08:05] ZiRiS: first off, try Recovery Mode from GRUB boot loader if you have that option - you can uninstall your restricted drivers and reboot hopefully into normal Ubuntu with X working [08:05] HEleo-> yes [08:05] each os needs to be on its own partition [08:05] I suppose I could boot an iso and test that way , y? [08:05] Hi x 1288 [08:06] psywiped your talking language i have not learned yep [08:06] yet* [08:06] darkblue_B: download this: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/alpha-4/jaunty-desktop-i386.iso - burn it, boot from it, do NOT install it - test if the firewire works [08:06] dammit im not on ubunto right now i have to go from memory [08:06] ZiRiS: with a LiveCD, are you using LVM or mdadm for raid? if so you will need extra instructions to mount your existing partitions [08:06] and ive been drinking [08:06] freazer: I did. That was one of the first things I tried. It didn't do any good, actually matters got worse and I reinstalled. Same thing happened again. I'm not looking forward to another reinstall. [08:06] nah i can look it up [08:06] savvas: ok, might take a while for me [08:07] it like system admin and smantic sources [08:07] then check everything [08:07] self determinism and all that [08:07] !who | psywiped [08:07] psywiped: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [08:07] whenever i create /boot , /usr / its created as primary partition .. is it possible to overrider that and llowing only 2 to be primary partion others should be in extended?? [08:08] !kubuntu [08:08] Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome.

[08:09] ZiRiS: I would expect the LiveCD to autodetect and mount those partitions then - I'm still looking for a good guide that details exactly what files to copy over to repair your X configuration [08:09] ubottu: u r not a bot?? right?? :P [08:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:09] ubottu your not helping [08:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:10] psywyiped, you are conversing with a bot [08:10] Here's a random question since I'm maybe looking at another reinstall. Is it possible to run Kubuntu with Ubuntu simultaneously? IE have the option for KDE or Gnome? [08:10] joot: looks that way [08:11] psywyiped, stay on topic [08:11] yea jiris it is doing it on my hp tablet [08:11] ZiRiS: yeah.

Err, I mean, APT! [08:13] How come my open office is just all symbols, I can't understand anything? [08:13] heleo just use gpart and make a partition for the 2nd os if you aready have ubuntu installed [08:13] ZiRiS: have you read http://www.robdian.co.uk/content/view/56/27/ ? it mentions your cart specifically - it's all command line which might be a useful last ditch effort [08:14] psywiped: grub configuration [08:14] jim_p, What is apt-pinning? [08:14] jim_p, try this link on apt-pinning: http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html [08:14] psywiped: grub configuration please [08:14] gnome-do finds my files properly but it doesnt launch any of them, even tho when i click on the files properties it says the open with application fine and i can launch them into their associated programs fine in the normal file browser, just not gnome-do. any ideas?

[08:15] should be able to share the swap [08:15] ZiRiS: I would assume any driver built into the LiveCD would be included in your installation [08:15] hello [08:15] can anybody help me sort out openoffice.org? [08:15] haven tried dual booting 2 linux distro so not sure [08:15] psywiped: can i install fedora grub or configure the old linux grub to boot fedora laso [08:15] *also [08:15] when trying to install ubuntu 8.10 my screen shows "out of range".

[08:16] anybody living.................... [08:16] ??????????????????????// [08:16] jim_p, Would you not be better going to #ubuntu1? [08:17] ZiRiS: I hope it helps :-( dealing with broken X is _the #1 most frustrating thing_ for new Linux users IMO [08:17] nop????????????????????????????/ [08:17] yy i know quibbler i just forgot to type ;) [08:17] Got another problem as well, nvidia drivers... try to install them using the system>>administration>>hardware drivers route. It detects them (versions 173 and 177) but when I try to activate them the load screen flashes up for a brief second and then closes. Running Ubuntu 8.10 64bit [08:17] pantung: ;-) [08:17] tauheed, just ask your question rather than spamming the channel with ?'s [08:17] bah [08:17] joot, no. i just need apt-pinning :P [08:17] jim_p, OK :-) [08:18] freazer: Indeed, I'm sure it is. If this doesn't work, I might just DL, burn and install Kubuntu. [08:18] heleo im not sure i would think the grub would be the same and it would just auto configure like it does when you have windows installed. "this is me doing drunk tech support so dont expect to much" [08:19] psywiped: ok thanks for a try ;) [08:20] ZiRiS: from command line (if broken X won't let you access terminal, try Ctrl-Alt-F1 or F2 to get to another terminal command line - and simply login and type sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop as another user said above - it will change your default login stuff to KDE (which may be worth trying) [08:20] can someone tell me how to install GTK tememotot aurura ? [08:20] ZiRiS: but, from what I've seen Kubuntu is a very different experience, and you're right in that it could be worth trying [08:21] pantu have you searched in the forums? [08:21] freaz not a big fan of k feels clunky [08:21] nope i have not psywiped [08:21] using xubuntu here [08:22] i don't have a user yet :) [08:22] make a user and do a search if you have truble then come back in here and ask [08:22] 99 out of 100 it has the answer [08:23] bwayne: hey i just booted the arch cd and it starts up to a... grub prompt?

I found this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetbootInstallFromInternet and its perfect, but its for ubuntu 8.04. I want 8.10 server. Any idea how to get it? [08:31] bryant just a personal one [08:31] i have a hosted server as well' [08:32] how do i download sun-jave6-jre on windows using wget ? i mean what is the url ?

[08:32] prony i thin wget is a kde command [08:32] yes the package [08:33] psywiped: then what is the point of wget for windows ? offline package installation === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [08:33] prony not sure [08:33] prony did you install the kde for windows? [08:33] pronoy: you can get the ubuntu .deb package at http://packages.ubuntu.com/sun-jave6-jre - you have to click on the distribution you want and on the next page on your architecture (amd64 or i386) [08:34] savvas: the dependencies aren't satisfied...that's the problem [08:34] <\Kira> im trying to use make to compile something. First it complains about having no C compiler, so I install gcc. Now it alerts me that my C compiler cant create executionables. [08:34] pronoy what os are you using [08:34] psywiped : no why would i want to ????! [08:34] pronoy: I'm a bit puzzled, are you using a windows or a linux operating system? [08:34] i am using intrepid [08:35] prony thats not windows [08:35] pronoy: or are you trying to get all the packages for a pc without internet? [08:35] but i have an internet connection with my windows machine [08:35] prony use the apt-get install command [08:35] ubuntu jaunty alpha boots in 24 sec from grub to my desktop...that's amazing!!! :D [08:35] Kira, download the build-essientials package [08:35] so i am trying for the offline package installation [08:35] <\Kira> bryant: thanks [08:35] np [08:35] pronoy: is the ubuntu 32-bit or 64-bit? [08:36] download all packages on windows and transport to linux....savas: its a 32 bit [08:36] i386 [08:36] Kira, that should take care of most of you problems, but it depends on what you're compiling. The build-essientials package takes cares of a LOT. [08:37] prony its a lot easer if you connect the system to the interweb [08:37] psywiped, savvas ? [08:37] psywiped: but i can't thats the problem [08:37] :) [08:37] wny hot? [08:37] different machines different locations [08:37] ? [08:37] bring the system with yoju [08:38] psywiped: i need to install a socks proxy client to run the internet at my place..to do that ubuntu i need JRE6 package....so i can do that using windows right now because there is no issue of dependecies and stuff [08:39] pronoy: download these: http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/unixodbc/unixodbc_2.2.11-16build2_i386.deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/s/sun-java6/sun-java6-jre_6-10-0ubuntu2_all.deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/s/sun-java6/sun-java6-bin_6-10-0ubuntu2_i386.deb [08:39] savvas: before i do...how did you get these urls ? [08:40] pronoy: transfer them to your ubuntu on your desktop, open a terminal and execute these commands: 1) cd Desktop 2) sudo dpkg -i *.deb [08:40] pronoy: I followed some dependencies on http://packages.ubuntu.com [08:40] savvas: so i can download them using wget on windows :) thats great [08:41] 7of12 beers im so confused now [08:41] pronoy: well, you can try, if it needs anything else, you can get that too, one by one, but I think these three is what it needs. when you're done with the above, execute: sudo apt-get -f install [08:42] pronoy your trying to confgure a proxy but its not configured to connect ot the net? [08:42] psywiped: simple, he's downloading on say MACHINE 1 that has windows, and installs the deb packages on MACHINE 2 that has ubuntu [08:42] but where does the socks proxy come in? [08:43] maybe he wants a local network [08:43] I don't know :P [08:44] you know for all the people on here thres not that many trying to help [08:44] psywiped: ok i think i wasn't clear before, my mistake. Your-freedom a socks proxy software allows me to connect to the internet because of restrictions by the server admin...now i have this one on windows and to update ubuntu i need the same on ubuntu. Now to install it on ubuntu i need various packages...which is why i got wget for windows...(sourceforge.net gnu32) [08:45] get it ? [08:45] id just bring the box home [08:46] psywiped: my home is like 500 miles from my college :) so not a possibility [08:46] savvas: thanks a lot...i'll bug you if i have anything else === rob is now known as Guest13307 [08:47] this is why i have a ubuntu server at home just make a ssh tunnel and get on the net thru that [08:48] Hi, I'm trying to find the C++ docs with API's for the STL, I've installed libstdc++6-4.3-doc and stl-manual but if I try 'man map' or man 'vector' I don't get anything up... === Guest13307 is now known as hyakuhei [08:48] pronoy: sure, but I think I'll be away, starting in 5 minutes or so - if apt needs more packages, you just go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/yourpackage and look for the one you need === VoX is now known as vox [08:49] savvas: sure thinkg [08:49] thanks [08:50] hi , the restricted drivers searches the drivers for ever...is there a way to install them through the terminal? [08:50] pronoy: just wondering though, why do you need a specific proxy software, when you can set a proxy server in System > Preferences > Network proxy ? [08:51] savvas: heard of cyberroam ? its made my life hell [08:51] arvind_khadri: sure. nvidia or ati? [08:51] pronoy never herd of cyberroam what is it? [08:51] tritium, nvidia 7300 gt [08:51] so I suppose you need to login to use internet? or something like that :P [08:52] psywiped: its the worst thing ever one could have made to restrict interntet access [08:52] hi, i am trying to install vga11x19.pcf.gz - i have tried placing it in /usr/share/fonts.. and ~/.fonts and updated the font cache but still cant seem to use it. any ideas how to get it to work? [08:52] tritium, 177 driver... [08:52] pronoy it what way? [08:52] hello all, can we put an external antenna for internal mini pcie wifi card ? [08:52] savvas correct and using network proxy fscks the bandwidth [08:52] arvind_khadri: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177, in that case. [08:52] trying to get it to work with rxvt on ubuntu 8.10 [08:52] tritium, the restricted ones right? [08:52] psywiped: it restricts your download limit and time [08:52] arvind_khadri: there is -180 available, if you prefer the newest [08:53] psywiped: i have access to like only 20 mb of download !! can you believe that ??!?!? [08:53] dam i would use that up in one page [08:53] tritium, cant see them here :) and jockey-gtk recommends me for 177 [08:53] !info nvidia-glx-180 [08:53] nvidia-glx-180 (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-180): NVIDIA binary Xorg driver.

[08:54] is there any way to map meta to one of the windows keys? [08:55] well good luck pronoy - hope it works :) [08:55] System > Preferences > Keyboard > Layouts > Other Options doesn't appear to do what i want [08:55] tritium, yup found it now... so which should i go with :) [08:55] psywiped: i tried but i get amazingly low bandwidth [08:55] yea tor is a little slow [08:55] psywiped and your-freedom is exactly like tor but amazingly faster !!!! [08:56] does an ssh tunnel to a home computer work? [08:56] is there any way to remap meta to a specific key? [08:56] poet you have to wait a few [08:57] but right now it doesnt sound like anyone in here know how poet [08:57] psywiped: I do, I just thought I phrased my origial question badly, because I don't actually care which key it gets remapped to [08:57] arvind_khadri: it's up to you. The -180 doesn't work for everyone, so if it doesn't work, switch to the -177. [08:58] psywiped: take a look at this its amazing !!! http://wubdepends.sourceforge.net/ [08:59] cool thats nice could have used it a year ago before 8.04 came out [08:59] yy [09:02] amy because 7.10 made it realy hard to use a verizon celular data card === werd__ is now known as werd_ [09:04] has anyone used kpackage? dont tell me to use synaptic or adept, i know they exist [09:04] !info kpackage [09:04] kpackage (source: kdeadmin): package management tool for KDE 4.

[09:05] suup its an old woman [09:05] I'm new to Linux, and would like to know how to schedule a program to start and stop at a certain time [09:05] And then automatically shutdown the PC [09:06] Hi. When I run lilo on 8.04 I get message: Added Linux * \n: Warning: The initial RAM disk is too big to fit between the kernel and the 15M-16M memory hole. It will be loaded in the highest memory asthough the configuration file specified "large-memory" and it will be assumed that the BIOS supports memory moves above 16M. [09:06] suupaabaka, have a look at some cron frontend then [09:06] jim_p, can you suggest one? [09:06] Does this mean something goes wrong? [09:06] tritium, is this 2.6.27-3.4 out? [09:07] arvind_khadri: current on 8.10 is 2.6.27-11 [09:07] suupaabaka, gcrontab or kcron [09:07] jimp, thanks [09:07] !cron [09:07] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [09:07] anyone here know how to install pcf fonts?

[09:08] not i said the drunk man [09:08] suupaabaka, if you want to do all this jobs you mentioned at once, you will need a script [09:08] psywiped: stay on topic [09:08] tritium, it was added in the kernel version i told you [09:08] arvind_khadri: which kernel module does it use? [09:08] fantomas, may i ask why lilo and not grub? [09:08] jim_p, Ah, I see. I have no idea how to make one :( [09:08] tritium, gspca [09:09] suupaabaka, what exactly do you want to do? [09:09] Did the game take place at night [09:09] jim_p: well, I was living with lilo for 6 years on Debian.. thats the reason :) [09:10] arvind_khadri: there are several gspca modules in /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/gspca/. Which one does yours use? Is it loaded? [09:10] fantomas, oh lol [09:10] can i say something [09:10] about lilo en grub [09:10] jim_p, I'd like to start Deluge bittorrent client at 3:05AM and close it at 8:55AM, then shutdown the PC every day [09:10] jim_p: boot loading is kind of magic for me. I know how lilo works, roughly speaking. Afraid of new modern thingies :) [09:10] sure Naisel [09:10] tritium, the device is recognized as Microdia [09:11] fantomas, all i know is that lilo stores its settings in /etc/lilo and grub in /boot/grub/menu.lst [09:11] arvind_khadri: Mostly curious... is this a MS vx6000 webcam? [09:11] tritium, the sonixj.ko [09:11] jim_p: usually I ignore most of lilo warnings. Just sligtly surprised I see some on stable Ubuntu on stock kernel [09:11] genii, its a intex night vision cam... [09:12] jim_p Okay usu grub for 2 years and my experience has been great [09:12] suupaabaka, i am not that good at scripting but let me make a try [09:12] genii, any idea how to make it work [09:12] hi all [09:12] what is you problem with grub jim_p [09:12] jim_p, much appreciated [09:12] hi [09:12] Naisel, none [09:12] ok [09:12] tritium, ?? [09:12] arvind_khadri: have you tried loading the module it needs if it's not loaded already? [09:12] arvind_khadri: Ah. I had a helluva time with the microdia drivers and the vx6000. The intex I don't know much about [09:13] tritium, not yet... [09:13] Naisel: it was me having a problem with lilo ) [09:13] suupaabaka, does deluge need X to run? or can ir run like a daemon? [09:13] currently use version 2 of grub, but I better get used to the version 1 jim_p [09:13] jim_p, I think it needs X [09:13] tritium, lsmod shows its loaded [09:13] fantomas what is you problem with lilo [09:14] arvind_khadri: then what have you done to test if it works? [09:14] fantomas I do not like lilo to use once and never understood it [09:14] Naisel: When I run lilo on 8.04 I get message: Added Linux * \n Warning: The initial RAM disk is too big to fit between the kernel and the 15M-16M memory hole.

[09:34] captain_: how is that relevent to the topic (ubuntu support)? [09:34] relevant, even [09:34] Hey Guys, I wanna install ubuntu 8.10 on a laptop with via chipset and via chrome. Kinda old one. 8.10 freezes after loading gdm, alternative install does not work, it splits the screen in half with some overlay. I've found this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome <-- and it says i should edit the xorg.conf. Can i edit the xorg.conf somehow before the livecd loads gdm? Thanks [09:34] tritium, any other gnome messenger which has good cam support?

[09:36] arvind_khadri: no [09:36] L0neWo1f: ah, ok, and one more question if you happen to know or not.. i have the ati x1200 video chipset you happen to know if that is well supported?

[09:49] quibbler, they are made with bad application on win, or what? [09:49] Naisel: i don't know my midi device does not speak to me anymore. Before upgrading to ibex i got a midi throughput error [09:49] Naisel, it did say error reading boot cd, shall I try again or is it something else? [09:50] O__o yes they are write would be the best to use in your situation [09:50] i got the write command. but what if the user is offline and i want to give him a msg [09:50] i just installed windows to use guitar pro [09:50] but write isnt both way [09:51] which one ubuntu boot cd [09:51] Bram [09:51] quibbler, do you know what is wrong?

My host is Linux. when I attatch to host interface, what should the setup application be? [09:51] Naisel, just one that I had here (ubuntu 8.04 it is, I will update) [09:51] i got it write is kinda cool [09:51] Hi! Is there any howto on how to install a scanner on a thin client? [09:52] anybody know how to install 32bit libraries on 64bit linux???? [09:52] but if the user is offline i guess i need some other thing [09:52] How do I list my accessible midi device ports [09:52] in tux? [09:52] no [09:52] in ubuntu [09:52] jami: amidi -l [09:53] jami: if you do MIDI stuff, you will come to know and love amidi ;-) [09:53] hm nothing [09:53] jami: What exactly are you trying to do? [09:53] Bram if you want to install both operating systems together, you first need to install linux because windows does not share the boot. So you have a backup of all your data in windows and then install windows again. [09:53] gordonjcp: bring midi to work [09:53] did i need timidity [09:54] jami: depends what you're trying to do ;-) [09:54] gordonjcp: bring midi to work :-P overall to run tuxguitar [09:54] Naisel, No I want everything that I had before and in the windows to be gone [09:54] jami: timidity is a kind of software soundcard that plays back MIDI [09:54] jami: or rather, software sample player [09:55] hi,cheese sees my cam, but kopete doesnt...what can i do??? [09:55] jami: are you trying to use timidity to play back MIDI sequences? [09:55] Bram you can have it all, just install linux and then mount the Windows partition is easy [09:55] gordonjcp: at least I thought every soundcard has its crappy build-in midi sampling [09:55] jami: some do, some don't [09:56] jami: a lot of modern cards don't seem to [09:56] gordonjcp: i think tuxguitar uses streaming features of midi [09:56] Naisel, I did choose the language and then I said install ubuntu, but then it does nothing anymore === toga30 is now known as ToGa [09:56] jami: anyway, you're not trying to hook up external MIDI devices/ [09:56] ? [09:57] no only internal use. I'm too poor for hardware :-D [09:57] okay, I'm just installing a few things [09:57] only tuxguitar [09:57] Any information on how to install a scanner on a thin client? [09:58] gotamatw Elaborate on thin client [09:58] gotamatw: same as any other system [09:58] Bram okay but what I tell you, you have a backup of all data in your windows and put them in a separate hard drive, then install Linux and mount the Windows partition [09:58] LTSP, a server and a thin client (workstation). [09:58] A ubunut thin client? [09:59] what is a thin client? [09:59] Naisel, no I don't want windows anymore, or anything else that's on the computer right now. I just want to install ubuntu and that everything else is gone [09:59] hi i am living in canada, why connecting to US ubuntu server is faster than canadian server when doing update? [09:59] can't find translation [09:59] UBUNTU 7.10 workink as a LTSP server. [09:59] i think u need timidity jami [10:00] and the java soundbank [10:00] gotamatw dist-update is in order... and Why not just PnP [10:00] Bram therefore you have the backup then install linux and passes all data to your linux. [10:00] ohoy [10:01] is there a way to intwerrupt fsck when using no splash screen? [10:01] Naisel, yes I know but the problem is when I boot from cd and then choose install ubuntu it doesn't do anything anymore and after a long time it does give an error. [10:01] i have a question regarding the preload daemon. if an application were to require more ram than is free, and the rest is occupied by preload, will unload itself for the other application? [10:02] Bram do not worry about the application before using it on windows and linux is the best [10:02] tapas Why would you want to do that? [10:02] I can't update the system, and I must install the scanner for tomorrow morning. [10:02] All of a sudden I can't mount my Windows partition which worked perfectly till yesterday. I get a "You are not privileged to mount the volume" error. Any clue? [10:02] Relentless: because i'm in a hurry [10:02] Relentless: do yo9u have an answer or not? [10:02] tapas You do know that linuc doesnt boot untill it has finished and has a clean bill of health [10:02] Naisel, I know linux is the best, that's why I install it [10:03] captain_: after starting the timidity over init.d i get Starting TiMidity++ ALSA midi emulation [fail]. How did I get additional informations? [10:03] Bram, Ubuntu is not linux, it is a fork of one. [10:03] Bram let me see if I understand the problem you are trying to install linux [10:03] Relentless: you do know that you can press ESC to skip the fsck when splash screen is enabled? [10:03] Relentless: so i see you do not know how to do it.. please, why are you wasting my time? [10:03] Well arent we a fesity one [10:03] jami: did you install "freepats" when you installed timidity? [10:04] hi,cheese sees my cam, but kopete doesnt...what can i do??? [10:04] I hope your HDD fail on next boot [10:04] Relentless: manners, please... [10:04] All of a sudden I can't mount my Windows partition which worked perfectly till yesterday. I get a "You are not privileged to mount the volume" error. Any clue? [10:04] help me please mount my Vista - it is not present at the Places.. =( [10:04] gordonjcp: yes [10:04] Relentless, not true - ubuntu is a distribution, not a fork of linux [10:05] linux is just the kernel that ubuntu uses [10:05] How can I find out the physical network interface of my system? [10:05] darkweasel that was the wor dI was looking for [10:05] jami: okay, still waiting for stuff to install ;-) [10:05] *word [10:05] bump [10:05] Naisel, yes I try to install it, but when I say install ubuntu it doesn't do anything anymore and at the last it gives an error saying it can't read boot cd === Justin__ is now known as Hentai [10:05] lorenzosu ntfs or fat32?

[10:10] jami: interestingly enough it shows up in qjackctl [10:10] The matter is - i have installed ubuntu on the same partition where vista was located. there was another partition, which did not have enough free space, so I didn't choose that at the time of installation. So now I can see that partition at Places, but not my Vista or C:// where ı have all my files and documents. what can I do to reach them [10:10] Bram just insert the cd again and check what it says [10:10] gordonjcp: jackd hm i can try it [10:10] titom use dmesg [10:11] Naisel, it does exactly the same [10:11] Anyone know why Ubuntu often drops wifi connections to WPA-Ent, tkip, mschap v2, peap networks?

[10:14] lorenzosu - Is it with the above settings? Connections to my own WPA2 network are fine, but Ubuntu since 8.10 (or maybe 8.04) wont join the above config reliably [10:14] Relentless: that's fine with me.. great to bring some happiness into the world.. [10:14] Naisel i dont know what to look for....nothin seems like an error [10:14] matt0: it may take up to a week or more for the package to be updated [10:14] Naisel, it says "couldn't read from boot cd" [10:14] Relentless: and it seems fsck can handle SIGINT just fine for quite a while now..

[10:15] Bram only that [10:16] tapas: It is recommended that you run a fsck on reboot if required. Usually, system automatically determines if fsck required or not. Generally, fsck is run automatically at boot time when the system detects that a file system is in an inconsistent state, indicating a non-graceful shutdown, such as a crash or power loss. [10:17] Naisel yes, but it does take a long time before it does say that [10:17] adobe flash that is [10:18] Relentless: you make me smile inside [10:18] lol [10:18] after I installed the Tahoma font I couldn't see any web page with Tahoma font, now I have deleted tahoma and run "sudo fc-cache -f -v" but still the characters on Tahoma web pages don't show up, what do I do?

[10:19] Aperture_Science I can personally help you [10:19] The matter is - i have installed ubuntu on the same partition where vista was located. there was another partition X, which did not have enough free space, so I didn't choose that at the time of installation.

[10:41] jascott: I think it might be ebox [10:41] thanks [10:41] matteo: Type `man mount` it'll explain syntax, learn it, very very useful === co_uchiha is now known as co_massive [10:41] !webmin | jascott [10:41] jascott: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [10:41] hi,cheese sees my cam, but kopete doesnt...what can i do??? [10:41] matteo: To overcome a full bootlog you need to specify the force option `-o force` [10:42] matteo: `-t ntfs-3g` specifies the filesystem [10:42] matteo: `/dev/whatever` is what you want to mount [10:43] matteo: `/media/ or /mount/ or /mnt/` where to mount it to, must already exist [10:44] Okay that was retarded of me. [10:44] It happens [10:44] Mevs, wot u mean with where to mount? I think i have not so clear the mount oeration :) [10:44] Hello all. I've got a few NFS mounts in my fstab that mount on boot. Is there a way to write my fstab so they are an option, but do not mount until I click or tell it to? [10:44] stefg thanks [10:45] matteo: When you mount something, your give it a directory, here you can traverse the filesystem [10:45] Re|ent|ess, PM plocks. [10:45] <|HSO|SadiQ> how can I know wich files an application is using(opening)...say pidgin for example [10:45] Aperture_Science k [10:46] jascott: make sure to use the ebox repos... the version in the ubuntu-repos is usually old, and since ebox is quite a new project there's always [10:46] packages with bugfixes available [10:46] ah i would have gone with the ubuntu repos for hope of compatibility.. [10:47] |HSO|SadiQ: maybe lsof -p $(pidof pidgin) [10:47] thanks for the help [10:47] jascott: ymmv ... [10:47] ok mevs this is my input this time " sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o force /dev/sdb4/media/ScreenPlayPro_HD /mount [10:47] " and here is the output " ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sdb4/media/ScreenPlayPro_HD': Not a directory [10:47] " Strange, i took the path from the error message :S === eric is now known as Guest78584 [10:48] jascott: ebox is developed on and for ubuntu, so compatibility shouldn't ba an issue [10:48] <|HSO|SadiQ> lstarnes, it doesn't work [10:48] matteo: I already wrote the exact command, you need a space between /dev/whatever and /media/whatever, also, wherever you are mounting it to needs to exist `mkdir /media/ScreenPlayPro_HD` [10:48] ah sweet [10:48] |HSO|SadiQ: what error message do you get? [10:49] <|HSO|SadiQ> lstarnes, sry...it works...I replaced (pidof pidgin) with the actiual pid...stupid me :P [10:50] |HSO|SadiQ: just use $(pidof pidgin). Do not replace it with anything else.

ActionParsnip1 [11:02] matteo: have you tried the same command but with ntfs instead of ntfs-3g? [11:02] guy654654: no, they are only in ram so will be lost at reboot [11:02] ActionParsnip1: ok thanks [11:02] guy654654: you could mount a folder to a usb stick and they would be installed on there [11:03] guy654654: you could also mount /home to usb and documents would be persistant, you'd have to remount each reboot [11:03] i try now one sec :) But the problems seems to be with /dev/sdb4 that is not a irectory... Is it normal? [11:03] matteo: it should not be a directory, it should be a device node [11:03] guy654654: you could mount a few folders to usb so that a lot of the install is persistant [11:03] ActionParsnip1: i thought the settings however would be stored? [11:03] guy654654: or just install TO the usb stick [11:03] in usb.. [11:04] guy654654: mapping home to usb will store your settings [11:04] masood: if i restart nautilus nothing happens, but i get this error in my terminal "Nautilus-Share-Message: Called "net usershare info" but it failed: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares.

[11:48] PePs1Man: welcome [11:48] Safe: and tehn sudo apt-get install gnome-network-admin (on ubuntu/xubuntu, not kubuntu) [11:48] PePs1Man: welcome to it [11:48] foges: did you install flex using sudo apt-get install flex? === diego is now known as Guest92622 [11:48] stefg, ah, will try to see if that fixes the problem. [11:48] nope, downloaded it and did the same configure, make, makinstall, ill try with apt get [11:49] I completly wiped my old OS, I am a little worried. Will Linux be able to run almost anything that I ran before with "wine" ? [11:49] Safe: network-manager is simply a major PITA, only halfway good when you have changing wireless access points [11:50] PePs1Man: usually there's a native alternative to just about everything apart from games [11:50] PePs1Man: it runs alot of stuff but there will be foss alternatives to nearly all softwares you ran in windows [11:50] where does sftp folders get mounted at? [11:50] lsarnes: thanks for the help, now i didnt get that error, however when running make (for libpcap) i get: make: yacc: [11:50] Command not found [11:50] make: *** [grammar.c] Error 127 [11:50] any idea? [11:50] foges: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:51] Pirate_Hunter: ~/.gvfs if you used the gnome gui [11:51] foges: did you install yacc using sudo apt-get install yacc? [11:51] stefg: ok thx will check [11:51] Safe: Workaround: check the "system settings" checkbox, THEN uncheck the "connect automatically" checkbox, check "connect automatically" again... wait for sometime and then click on "Authenticate": n-m should trigger the sudo authentication dialog box and let you save the settings. [11:51] .... sick ... [11:52] stefg: if i bookmark the sftp folder there would i be able to access it anytime? [11:52] Thanks for your answers Hateball and linny1.

I'm trying to mirror this install on an offline computer- is there a better way to do it? [12:56] ganesh: i think you should contact veejay and tell them about these dependency problems: http://www.veejayhq.net/contact/ [12:57] !clone | amro [12:57] amro: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --disable-columns --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [12:57] Stroganoff: ya i ll do dat [12:57] ganesh: have you tried adding the veejay repositories? http://ppa.launchpad.net/veejay/ubuntu/ [12:58] jrib any ideas? [12:59] amro: now once you get that list on the offline computer, there are tools like apt-zip (or synaptic will generate script) which I believe you can then just transfer back to the online computer and grab the debs that way. I've never done this though [12:59] ganesh: go to the third party repo screen in synaptic and add those lines two lines, replacing hardy with intrepid: http://www.veejayhq.net/download-2/ [12:59] ronny: is this restricted to aplay or do the system-sounds work?

[13:01] Всем привет [13:01] zdarow [13:02] amro: if it gets too complicated, then the kludgy solution would be to just install a fresh ubuntu in vbox on the online computer and use that to download the debs [13:02] rakudave: yes, but doesnt work [13:02] нужна помощь у меня нотик асус с плазмой 15,4 1280х800 и убунта 8.04 но там розширение 1027х768 что мне делать???

[13:06] How do I make usb composite speaker's work with Ubuntu 8.10? [13:06] oma-opa: never mind, you said you enable all of them. Ok. How about creating a fresh new user and see if the problem exists there? [13:06] jrib: thanks I'll try that [13:07] talto1: yes?

[13:09] king: I had to remove pulse-audio to get mine to work [13:09] rakudave, Oh [13:09] rakudave, Could you please point me to the links, references that helped you? [13:09] rakudave, I was really hoping that I could get it to work with pulseaudio [13:09] jrib this is my grandma and grandpas pc Id would prefer to change as few things as possible, so they wont get confused. http://pastebin.com/maababb5 this is the list a normal DVD works fine, its a svcd recorded by a panasonic dvd burner, that doesnt work [13:10] dixon208: what cheat engine are you talking about, ? [13:10] ikonia, Would you know how do I get usb composite speakers to work with Ubuntu 8.10? [13:10] how do you set 8.04 to update automatically when needed? [13:10] king: simply "sudo apt-get remove pulse-audio" in a terminal [13:10] king: composite speakers ? [13:10] Cheat Engine - [1] Cheat Engine is used for cheating in computer games, and is often modified and recompiled to evade detection. This program resembles L. Spiro's "Memory Hacking Software", Tsearch, and ArtMoney. It searches for values input by the user with a wide variety of options that allow the user to find and sort through the memory database. Cheat Engine can also create standalone trainers that can operate indep [13:10] king: I don't even know what they are [13:10] dixon208: this is support for the ubuntu operating system - I think you have the wrong place [13:10] oma-opa: you can remove the user afterwards of course. But this is disc-specific? [13:10] ikonia, Yes, I have a pair of speakers, that connect to my laptop via usb. They get power as well as audio input from the same port. [13:10] o, ok [13:10] rakudave, And then? It starts working? [13:11] king: it did for me [13:11] hi, my Win key isn't recognized (xev)... is there anything i can do to reset all the keyboard mapping junk? (i think something broke when i installed and removed scim) [13:11] rakudave, Doesn't anything else breakdown? I mean the whole sound is now handled by pulse audio. [13:11] king: never tried, I imagne it's just treated as a usb device [13:11] ikonia, Yes. [13:11] rakudave, How do you change between the internal speakers (of the laptop) and the usb speakers? [13:11] hey guys, could anyone help me? im trying to install a package called libhpi but its not listed, can anyone help?? [13:11] king: no, ALSA is responsible for your sound, pulse-audio is just a tool to "connect" multiple sources [13:11] jrib I could watch a normal dvd with oma-opa user rights and this svcd with su rights but no svcd with oma-opa rights [13:12] oma-opa: ok. Try the new user [13:12] king: change speakers in "system--settings--sound" [13:13] jrib normal dvd works fine, Ill try to set up a new user now [13:14] rakudave, Wouldn't removing pulse audio cause any other problems? [13:14] I seriously need help with what is what in /etc/network/interfaces. [13:14] rakudave, Are there some other things that you have got to change? [13:14] jrib I did useradd test and passwd test, anything else needed? [13:15] king: i had no problems after removing it, but you can always reinstall it by "sudo apt-get install pulse-audio" [13:15] What is broadcast and what is network, exactly? [13:15] oma-opa: delete that one and do « adduser test » instead [13:15] How do i turn of networkmanager? [13:15] what must be done to configure a key that isn't recognized by xev? [13:16] rakudave, I found a solution. In the Preferences > Sound dialog box I just selected my usb devices in sound playback and they work! [13:16] rakudave, Did you try that? [13:16] Safe: the broadcast is the broadcast address used by the network. It's often the first three parts of your IP with .255 on yhe end [13:16] jrib how can I delete the group? [13:16] *the [13:16] king: Good for you :-) Mine wouldn't while pulse was still around... [13:17] rakudave, Thanks for the tip, I figured out at some point I would have to select the usb speakers in the Sound dialog box but I couldn't believe that it would really 'just work'! [13:17] Noone who knows? Or am I just being really stupid? === Spike1506_ is now known as Spike1506 [13:17] Safe: did you mean network or netmask?

But it never worked! But in the process now whenever I change the volume from my laptop's dedicated volume-up/down keys it doesn't affect the master volume slider, though I still get a on-screen message that the volume is increasing/decreasing.

[13:33] oma-opa: hmm, don't know then. Check for bugs on bugs.gnome.org and bugs.ubuntu.com [13:33] furenku: ok, b/c that package has a bug causing this on some machines [13:33] stefg, i just apt-cache searched it I don't have it installed [13:34] stefg, so, has to be something else [13:34] stefg: i searched for vlc in add/remove but its not there [13:34] furenku: it's not installed by default, and if your media-keys work anyway there should have been no reason to instal it [13:34] my old 3200 athlon would compile faster than this.. what in the hell... [13:35] stefg, could it be a really bad idea to uninstall acpid? [13:35] sorry linguistic question, which is correct "things that I encounter in the day to day" or "on the day to day" [13:35] Hi guys, is there any such program as ie MS Reader, for reading ebooks?

[13:35] Hi I have a question regarding touchpad, Option "SHMConfig" "on", is required by some tool to modify the touchpad settings but the xorg.conf doesn't look like its used how it used to be and im confused. My goal is to stop phantum clicking while I am typing, so reducing the sensitivity of the click value. [13:36] diffred: day in day out, or just everyday [13:36] hi anyone using the E220 hauwei 3g modem here? I'm trying to understand why there is a creation of 6 ttyUSB# when the modem is left in on reboot and then only 2 when reattach [13:36] tikka: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [13:36] ganesh: switch to 'all applications' not just 'canonical supported' .. it's there, beleive me [13:36] thanks jrib I will take a look now [13:36] hbekel: thanks! so "things that I encounter day in day out?"

But someone has to boot from the CD. [13:40] oma-opa: and you can « ls /media/cdrom/ », but « nautilus /media/cdrom/ » does not work? [13:40] king: thanks :P [13:41] jrib ls /media/cdrom/VIDEO_TS gives me a permission denied, too [13:41] olavimmanuel, I figured that you may already know that. But if you set up the machine so that it wakes up on LAN, and set the BIOS to boot from CD always, then the only thing the person would have to do is put the boot-cd inside. [13:42] oma-opa: permissions on that? [13:42] yes [13:42] oma-opa: I mean "what are they?" :) [13:43] olavimmanuel, one more thing, I guessed if you had enough competence you could just sudo rm -f the config files and overwrite them.

[13:43] king: ok [13:43] oma-opa: erm, well that explains it I guess. No idea why it's using uid 4294967295 and gid 4294967295 [13:43] nobody [13:44] king: seems easier to simply go there. thanks :D [13:44] oma-opa: 2^32 -1 right? [13:44] Hi does anyone use the E220 hauwei modem here [13:44] ? [13:44] jrib dont know that term sry [13:44] oma-opa: which term? [13:45] What is the problem when ping returns "no such hosts"? [13:45] 2^32 -1 [13:45] lol [13:45] oma-opa: I mean 2 raised to the 32nd power minus 1, just some number [13:45] jrib: you figure that out in your head?

And if you think you can provide more info, then just comment with it [13:50] jrib thanks for your help [13:50] I'm retarded, I forgot what I'm supposed to do with the two files i downloaded for a program... they are .tgz and .tgz.bz2 [13:50] I have been trying a week now and i still havent been able to install Rivendell Radio Automation software on my ubuntu or open SUSE 11.1 installations [13:50] hi, both of my computers use wifi to connect to the internet, I want to transfer files between them using a 4 port hub dsl hub, but whenever they're both connected to the lan, the internet doesn't work on either of them, how can I set ubuntu to use the wlan0 interface for the internet and eth0 for networking?

[13:51] jrib: acerhk (acer hotkeys) I had to reinstall Ubuntu because I couldn't revert my video card driver so now I have to get my wireless working again. [13:51] ed_: what count program?

I boot from the cd, choose to install ubuntu, gets the ubuntu loading screen and the screen gets black. I can hear the computer working, but I cant see anything. Why?

Use static IPs [14:00] Is cifs for a one way transfer of ubuntu to/from windows, but not windows to/from ubuntu? [14:00] ed_: cat does this (more specifically with -n). And nl also does this [14:00] There are no problems with the cd according to the inbuilt tool [14:01] buying second computer screen does it have to be same mark? [14:01] ed_: you want to number the lines right?

[14:08] stefg, it didn't really go as planned with installing gnome-network-admin, since I have no connection and I'm not sure I've configured it properly via /etc/network/interfaces. [14:08] bigbucks: nah, one program was made a long time ago to make all the other programs. It was originally called "ubuntu_program_maker", but it renamed itself to "skynet" for some reason. No really, of course people make programs for ubuntu [14:08] bigbucks: there are hundreds of programs for ubuntu [14:08] Ifconfig says the IPs are right, but when I try to ping something it wont work. [14:08] jrib: not people, code monkeys :) [14:08] Ok, will try === rob is now known as MARINE1 [14:08] stefg, I'll try that now [14:09] Safe: gnome-network-admin is nothing but a GUI for /etc/network/interfaces... but getting rid of network-manager makes /etc/network/interfaces meaningful again [14:09] Yeah I know, but I'm not sure what everything is. broadcast and network for example. [14:09] did backup config to my desktop nad now i can't locate it [14:10] Safe: what ip's are you trying to ping. Do you have a default route setup correctly? [14:10] stefg, I do believe that the DNS config is the problem. [14:10] Safe: and you can always run 'sudo dhclient/eth0' to get network (if you have a dhcp-server in your network [14:10] oCean_, nothing works, just get "no such host". And no, I don't really know. :) [14:10] stefg, I have static though. [14:11] Safe: failing to ping an ip address is not because of incorrect dns(settings) failing to ping a hostname might [14:11] Safe: so you need to figure out the ip of your DNS server and write that to /etc/resolv.conf . can you ping a known IP ? [14:11] did backup config and saved it to my desktop now i can't find it [14:11] stefg, I have done that. No, can't even ping myself. [14:12] I'm dualbooting so it's a little hard to troubleshoot too. [14:12] Safe: type "route -n" Line starting with "0.0.0.0" is your default route. 2nd field is your default gateway. Can you ping that address? [14:12] my win key doesn't work... i need to reinstall ubuntu for that right? [14:12] Safe: if there's no firewall involved then it's no DNS problem [14:12] how to start a private conversation with certain nikname [14:12] who spine55 [14:12] oCean_, it's a little hard to try since I'm in windws now. [14:12] Safe: can you ping 127.0.0.1 and/or 127.0.1.1 [14:12] did backup config and saved it to my desktop now i can't find it [14:13] trying to change root password but getting this error [14:13] passwd: Authentication information cannot be recovered [14:13] passwd: password unchanged [14:13] stefg: F4 -> safe graphics mode = works [14:13] sezoom_: "/msg nick" [14:13] dodimar: why are you trying to change it? Did you ever set one? [14:13] stefg, both have detected it, I think the crossover is working, how do I setup a route? I'm using ubuntu 8.10 and standard network manager [14:13] Let's just play out the different scenarios of what I need to do. [14:13] janhenrik: ah.. so it'S F4 not F6 [14:13] yes [14:13] Thanks Thoben [14:13] uni4dfx, no, you don't need to reinstall. the key very likely just isn't configured right [14:13] thanks anyway [14:13] Safe: ah, ok. Write those things down to try. While in windows find out what your default gw address is. You should use that address in ubuntu too... [14:14] @jrib: for some domain authentication... [14:14] did backup config and saved it to my desktop now i can't find it [14:14] Yeah, I have that one configured too. [14:14] W_McL: how do i check if it's configured right [14:14] Everything in /etc/network/interfaces seems to be alright. I have the right address, gateway and netmask. [14:15] then i used system restore and no back up exist but it used about a gig to do the process [14:15] dodimar: by default there is no root pw [14:15] in the "system" menu under "settings" there is an option "keyboard" (don't confuse with "keyboard shortcuts") [14:15] did backup config and saved it to my desktop now i can't find it [14:15] mp3guy: so if you run 'ifconfig' on both machines do the wired interfaces show up and have a 'inet address' ? [14:16] where should comat-wireless be installed? [14:16] oCean_, sorry to be a pain, but may I annoy you further when I have tried it with a PM? [14:16] Hi there!

[14:17] Alright., [14:17] hey guys can someone help me ? i cant install THC-Hydra.. [14:17] need help did backup config and saved it to my desktop now i can't find it [14:17] stefg, neither do, just inet6 addresses [14:17] the ./configure make make install are not working theyre giving erros.. [14:17] help pls.. [14:17] Luux: what errors? [14:18] !repeat | MARINE1 [14:18] MARINE1: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [14:18] lstarnes, wait [14:18] did backup config and saved it to my desktop now i can't find it [14:18] what directory should i put compat-wireless in? i dont want it sitting on my desktop until the end of time [14:18] mp3guy: but the interfaces get listed... so they are there, but not configured [14:18] oCean_, did backup config and saved it to my desktop now i can't find it [14:18] stefg, also wifi internet is currently working on both machines [14:18] I'm leaving pclinuxos for ubuntu. Loaded up ubuntu to install and am having problems with the partitioner. Trying to save two partitions and format the "/" partition. Gives me errors. [14:18] MARINE1: please behave [14:18] i am running ubuntu 8.10 -- connected to a bridge: linksys wet546 and am not able to get an ip -- everything was working fine for 2 months -- any troubleshooting options? [14:19] stefg, yep, the machine I'm using now has the following listed http://pastebin.com/m3652ec4e [14:19] oCean_, that's your answer wow lot of help [14:19] The errors point to fixing with Tune2fs and debugfs [14:19] I have a microsoft wireless mouse that has four buttons (3 buttons + scroll/tilt will). The left and right click work, as does the scroll and tilt wheel. However middle click does nothing, and so does the fourth button. Is there anyway to configure them? [14:20] hi there, i have a question to installing ubuntu via live cd. Does it copy the current state of the live session to the hdd or a default one? does it make sense to delete programs i don't need and upgrade the system BEFORE installing ubuntu? [14:20] uni4dfx, found that? in the keyboard setup application there's a tab called "layout", where you find a button "other options" there you can open a menu in which you can for example set up a specific behaviour for the alt/ and win keys. [14:20] mp3guy: i'm not familliar with network-manager , but it shouldn't be to hard to just tell network manager that you want. eg. 192.168.0.1 for one machien and 192.168.0.2 for the other (on their respective wired interfaces) [14:21] oCean_, still waiting [14:21] W_McL: yea i found it, the current alt/win option is "default" [14:21] stefg, ok so ipv4 settings should be manual, I need an address, a netmask, a gateway, then there's also a DNS servers box and a Search domains box [14:21] hi, i have a brand new 1TB external USB disk, which i reformated to ext3 fs. now my 8.10 (Gnome) mounts it right, but does not give me write perms. what mount options do i need? [14:21] if i do sudo ifup eth0 i get ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0 [14:22] Hey, I am completely new to linux... got frustrated last night and nuked windows. I got ubuntu working fine (more or less) My question is where can I find a good starting resource, i.e. books, documents, etc that will teach me how to use the terminal? [14:22] it is like i don't even have a cable plugged in -- but i am plugged into my wet546 router [14:22] uni4dfx, then try to set it to "Meta is mapped to the Win-keys" [14:23] mp3guy: all you need is give the wired interfaces an IP and a netmask. i suggest using 192.168.2.1 and 192.168.2.2 ... gateway and DNS is only needed for internet, but that's on a different interface [14:23] stefg, ok I'll give it a go [14:23] W_McL: tried, but it still won't show up in xev [14:23] http://cb.vu/ [14:23] Anyone know anything about debugfs or Tune2fs? [14:23] stefg, do I need to worry about IPv4 routes? [14:23] mp3guy: later [14:24] belesprit: start here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [14:24] uni4dfx, ok. then you checked if you setup the right keyboard layout? (in the GUI and in you Xorg.conf) [14:25] thanks quibbler [14:25] mp3guy, If they're in the same network (192.168.2.x w/ netmask 255.255.255.0) you don't need a route [14:25] http://pastebin.com/d392ff47e <- how would I go about stripping the three zero's off the end out that output? I'm trying to get a temp monitor setup with conky but those zeros kind of mess it up [14:25] belesprit: you are welcome [14:26] heloo [14:26] W_McL: yes... though i can't seem to select a default layout in the Keyboard settings.. all the optionboxes are unselected [14:26] join#ubuntu [14:26] !hi | vineeth [14:26] vineeth: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [14:26] vineeth: u r already there [14:26] Can someone help me configure extra mouse buttons in 8.10? [14:26] helooo help me i am new man here [14:27] stefg, RussM, thanks it's working perfectly now, transfering files over crossover lan while wifi still working on both, thanks a lot :) [14:27] np [14:27] vineeth: just ask what you need to know [14:27] mp3guy: and try using ftp intead of samba.... much faster [14:28] oh? how do I go about that? I've used gftp before for webservers [14:28] arbeck77: install imwheel [14:28] uni4dfx, weird, but i just reproduced the behavior of the win key not showing up in xev when I put it's behavior to default. Selecting the default layout doesn't work? [14:28] i got all interpid repository as 6 DVDs how can i install all in that? === chaky__ is now known as chaky [14:28] hey [14:28] mp3guy: just the same... install a ftp server on either box, [14:28] vineeth: did you mirror an entire repository? [14:29] mp3guy: proftp has a nice gui [14:29] Daemonic, There's a bunch of ways... You could use sed to sub all trailing 000 with an empty string: | sed -e 's/000$//' [14:29] vineeth you don't want to install 6 dvds worth of software. you won't need 95% of it i guess [14:29] i got as 6 dvds from local [14:29] stefg, cool, I'll try it out. I get about 5MB/s using samba, will it be much faster on ftp? [14:29] W_McL: will it make it default if i just have one layout in that list? [14:29] RussM: thank you sir. that works wonders! [14:29] mp3guy: instead of ftp or samba, I like NFS... i find it's the best solution when I have mac's windows and linux across my house, but it's easier than ftp [14:29] vineeth: usually one just downloads the install-cd. After installing you can use packagemanagers to add programs you want [14:29] W_McL: even though the "Default" optionbox is unchecked [14:29] mp3guy: i get 11MB/s over a 100m line with ftp [14:30] but i want to check all programs and what is in it [14:30] uni4dfx, I'm not sure, but I here also have only one layout and it's selected [14:30] vineeth: that makes no sense, does it?

Should I just do normal boot? [15:47] KevDog you here? [15:47] swiftarrow, You can try that, I don;t think it will work since it will boot into your login screen. you can try and see if you can change the session there, maybe failsafe [15:47] McScruff: The easiest way would be re-installing. Its quicker anyway.

[16:54] kb1978: np [16:54] nickrud : yes [16:54] the ones im using right now [16:54] RealKillaz: If you can't find the info online and the ISP doesn't have a forum you can go to, maybe ring their tech support to get the settings [16:55] Pretty much I guess? Hell, I'm not very familiar with networks. I live in sweden so I guess it can be quite different. [16:55] In windows I just insert my IP details and everything is go. [16:55] mattbd: ok. How do you start the connection now? [16:55] shishio, on the computer that's not on the net, run system->admin->synaptic package manager. mark avant-window-navigator for installation [16:56] nickrud : ok [16:56] RealKillaz: Until you can get it configured it won't be much use. [16:56] shishio, then, on the main menu, file->generate package download script. take that script to the other computer on the net, and run it. it will get all the packages you need [16:56] Safe -> without knowing how your connectivity to your ISP work (in your country) kind of difficult to give you good advice [16:56] c0p3rn1c: Thanks, that was simple enough, and it looks like it worked! [16:57] #gnuplot [16:57] mattbd: well I have here the configuration panel of broadband connection configuration open. I have entered the APN. [16:57] kb1978: glad to be of help, pass it forward :) [16:57] n8tuser, I understand. Hell, when I first put in the details in the network-manager it worked, then it borked and I uninstalled it so I could install some other GUI network manager, but the IP wouldn't stay the same. [16:57] RealKillaz: There's a forum post at http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=654 which I used to get mine working, and that's the kind of info you'll need to get from your ISP [16:57] mattbd: and I left all the other setting to default [16:57] n8tuser, I just put in my IP address, gateway and DNS and everything was go. [16:57] shishio, then copy the packages to the original machine, and run file->add downloaded packages [16:57] mattbd: I want to just try it [16:58] nickrud: ok that helps [16:58] ask a hardware question...i wanna set up ubuntu on Card-Reader with MicroSD. have any Card-Reader support booting with USB-CDROM? [16:58] Safe then on the /etc/network/interfaces file insert those [16:58] mattbd: I have those info. [16:58] nickrud : ty [16:58] mattbd: I only need the apn [16:58] shishio, yw. [16:58] n8tuser, I have, but it still won't work. In ifconfig it looks like it should, but I get "no such host" when I try to ping something. [16:58] having trouble with resizing partitions I chose the install inside of windows option and I want to extend my 30gb ubuntu partition it only shows up as one partition [16:58] RealKillaz: Excellent. The APN you should be able to find [16:59] ok kssh does not work [16:59] the pkg needs to be removed [16:59] mattbd: I have it here. [16:59] this bites [16:59] Safe -> here is a sample static assigned ip address on an interface .. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ [16:59] mattbd: so I entered this in the broadband configuration panel of the network manager [17:00] n8tuser, yeah I know, I've actually just read that, and it's just the same. [17:00] RealKillaz: I didn't realise Network Manager can be configured manually for 3G, I'm still on Hardy [17:00] Safe once you have that entered, try sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0 [17:00] mattbd: but now I need to fire up the connection [17:00] Really wierd, I'm sure it's just some small error I've missed, like spelling something wrong. [17:00] RealKillaz: OK, go ahead [17:00] n8tuser, will have to restart into ubuntu to check again. [17:00] Safe perhaps post in pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file contents [17:01] well yeah I have enterd the PAN manually. But I don;t see it as an option. [17:01] I only see the wireless, wired and VPN options [17:02] How to install cinelerra. Noob hellp please! [17:02] OK, if Network Manager won't work, I would try the Vodafone Mobile driver [17:02] n8tuser, should "auto eth0" be at the top even if I have static? [17:03] How to install cinelerra. Noob here, help please! [17:03] Safe -> yes thats okay, if you want to auto enable at boot time [17:03] giu: look here: http://www.linux.com/feature/119570 [17:03] n8tuser, be right back then, will check. [17:04] Safe please read the link i provided [17:04] n8tuser, the tutorial? [17:04] quibbler: Okj thanks.

Yeah, I have. [17:04] n8tuser, i actually copied from there. [17:04] question for you guys. Virtualbox AMD64 is for windows x64 on intel? [17:05] Safe -> your questions is answered there [17:05] Alright, brb. [17:05] mattbd: ok [17:05] Hi i was wondering... what programming language does ubuntu has to communicate with serial or DB9? [17:05] RealKillaz: Is your modem made by Huawei? [17:06] I think it is the old huawei model. The black stick [17:06] mattbd: I'm not sure tough [17:07] RealKillaz: If it is a Huawei that should work fine with the Vodafone driver [17:07] Virtualbox AMD64 is for windows x64 on intel? === Chris-P is now known as Guest47605 [17:07] mattbd: I hope so. I'm not sure === Guest47605 is now known as Chris-p [17:08] RealKillaz: OK, so you need the access point name (APN), username and password. Do you have those?

[17:09] should I try another driver ? [17:09] quibbler: Thanks! [17:10] my config used to work fine with the beta drivers [17:10] c0p3rn1c, 180.27 works very good [17:10] c0p3rn1c, you will install it manually [17:10] etech: ok thx === Guest38390 is now known as jcfp [17:10] c0p3rn1c, i meant you have to if you want :) [17:11] etech: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180 , thats it right?

[17:12] c0p3rn1c, you can search in google ow to install manually nvidia packages [17:13] hallo speak german or englisch [17:13] etech: no you'd better advise people to use the forums, because else they will install the drivers from the nvidia site [17:13] c0p3rn1c, and? [17:13] CnCwurm: english otherwise /join #ubuntu-de [17:13] CnCwurm: english only in this channel please [17:14] etech: while they should use ubuntu packages, it will give problems with kernell upgrades [17:14] you just said you want 180 [17:14] Virtualbox AMD64 is for windows x64 on intel?

[17:15] etech: yeah actually I have pretty much experience with installing nvidia drivers [17:15] brb [17:15] Im doing a script as a school lab its purpose is to show information about installed modules. I'm supposed to use the lsmod command together with a this awk filter (awk ’{print $1} ’) to grap the names of the modules and then use them with modinfo. But I do not know how to apply the awk filter [17:15] etech, what about ubuntu server 8.10 [17:15] ben__, what? [17:16] ben_: You're going to have to elaborate a bit, it's not clear what you're asking about [17:17] ciao a tutti [17:17] would ubuntu 8.10 server for AMDx64 run on Virtualbox on Vista x64 [17:17] etchy: is the .27 driver a noticeable improvement over the .22 driver?

[17:21] Scunizi, do you use kde4? [17:21] mattbd, I'm kind of new to this IRC thing [17:21] regex-hater: I don't know if there's anyone there or it's any good, but it's worth a try as it's more likely to have a lot of awk users [17:21] etech: only in vm in vbox ..so no propiatory drivers.. gnome on the host [17:21] regex-hater: I'm not much more than a noob with IRC myself!

[17:22] mattbd, haha how do I change to that channel then? [17:22] macvr: Just uninstall the existing version using sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree [17:23] regex-hater: What client are you using? [17:23] Scunizi, with nvidia it is always worth to try the newest... ;) [17:23] mattbd: why the purge?

The box is 2ish GHz CPU w/ 512 MB of RAM. Ubuntu 8.10 should be fine on that, headless, right? [17:24] rhsanborn: more than enough [17:24] NativeAngels hello [17:25] Scunizi, ty [17:25] how do you create a hostname in ubuntu from the shell [17:25] regex-hater: I think you can just enter /join #awk [17:25] rhsanborn: you're installing the server edition right? you can always add xfce4 to it for X forwarding via ssh later. [17:26] rhsanborn, I was using a P4 @ 2.4GHz / 768MB for a long time. [17:26] how is the best way to run a windows game in linux? i'm not a big gamer so i never realy had a need but i would like to play spore on linux. any gamer geeks here can give me some pointers?

Is there all that much different with server edition? === W_McL_ is now known as W_McL [17:26] fiftyone: I don't think Spore will work at all in Linux. It might work with a commercial product like Cedega or Crossover Games [17:26] fiftyone: if it's a windows game it will involve wine.. check out www.winehq.com [17:27] or do i need to create different hosts [17:27] cedega giving a trial with spore if you interest [17:27] fiftyone: I'd check on the Wine site to see if it's supported and also look online to see if Cedega or Crossover Games will do it [17:27] NativeAngels, you use different ports dont you [17:27] yeah [17:27] but as its usin the same local ip [17:27] hi [17:28] well, as long as you specify the port it will connect fine [17:28] or theyre usin the same local ip [17:28] rhsanborn: the server addition will allow you to choose on install what other services you want.. ie LAMP, FTP, Mail server etc.. it's also lighter weight.. to install ubuntu desktop you can achieve the same thing but it's more work.. [17:28] im linking them [17:28] but its saying its in use [17:28] mattbd i have crossover office i will get crossover games now [17:29] rhsanborn: if you install the server you have a text environment.. something you should get use to with servers.. screen, irssi, mutt are all your friends there as well as elinks.. [17:29] fiftyone: Shame you didn't ask in October, I got a free copy as part of a giveaway then === reggie is now known as |reggie [17:30] rhsanborn: if you need a gui after installing server then add xfce4 with .. sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop.. this will give you a full desktop environ. on the server.. there is a way to just add the xfce4 gui and the other bits needed to make it work but I haven't done that.

I got the letters working if I run xfig with the flag -international but then fig2dev complains about not finding sv_SE.UTF-8.ps. What should I do? [17:31] NativeAngels, well I dont know then. as far as i knew, you set each UT game you are hosting to use a different port, and connecting to whatever ip:port would work.. === |reggie is now known as reggie === reggie is now known as reggie| [17:31] Scunizi, ty, I think I'll do that. I've used it enough to know that xfce is much lighter weight. I'm downloading the ISO right now. [17:32] fiftyone: This seems to get it working in Wine but you have to compile it yourself, and crack the DRM on the game [17:33] ciaoooo [17:33] mattbd thank man you are the man. Seems like alot of work might just be easier to logout ,and into windows. Really its that easy but i so hate to do it. lol [17:33] <_trine> I'm really stuck and would not normally ask here but has anyone here got an HP officejet 7100 all-in-one printer scanner I need the CD that came with it as I have lost mine [17:34] rhsanborn: if you want to put up a web page and have it accessable to the world outside, check out dyndns.org.. your router should have a section for listing it and making the service work [17:34] Scunizi [17:34] _trine: just dl it from HP [17:34] Scunizi, it's a verizon supplied router, no such luck :P [17:34] fiftyone: Potentially you might be able to run it on a Windows install in Virtualbox but that'd be far too slow really [17:34] Scunizi, I have an account with a webhost, they have more consistent bandwidth anyway [17:34] <_trine> Cpudan80: it's not available there they just have the drivers [17:35] Scunizi, it's mostly for sharing files among PC's in the house... [17:35] _trine: ok ... what is on the CD that you need besides the driver? [17:35] my pidgin just froze [17:35] it s all grey === Linuturk_ is now known as Linuturk [17:35] when i run "apt-get source wine" i get a old version of wine not the latest which i have when i check in synaptic [17:35] fiftyone: Otherwise I think you'll have to just use Windows for playing Spore [17:36] rhsanborn: you might want to look at OBM.. it's in the repo's.. sort of a LAN collaboration tool.. like a wiki sort of.. with document management. [17:36] diossssssssssss [17:36] Spore looks pretty cool... :) [17:36] q pexa de gente [17:36] compadressssssssss [17:36] mattbd, yea i dont have a super machine here eather... hey, I was wondering if you could help me with something else related. I actually my wife is in love with this little popcap game called "Luxor3" i got it for windose and it actually works nicely in wine for about 30 seconds then the graphics go mad.

[17:38] afancy: like MS Project? sure.. it's called project management [17:38] i want to see a ls of a dir where all the dir/files are shown with absolute paths and no other info [17:38] mattbd yea? the colors go all wack, I was thinking that it was a graphics card problem because if I load firefox or something else it does the same graphics freakout for a second before it loads completely. I am not sure exactly how else to describe it but as a "freakout" [17:38] Scunizi: yes [17:38] afancy: check in Applications>Office [17:38] Scunizi, no way man. The misses is a Project Manager by trade. I don't need her having access to a household gantt chart :P [17:38] fiftyone: I use the most recent version, instructions for adding this are at http://www.winehq.org/download/deb [17:38] Scunizi: but i cannot find it [17:38] rhsanborn: OBM doesn't do that.. :) [17:38] mattbd i have wine from the repos [17:38] afancy: what version of ubuntu? [17:39] Scunizi: 8.10 [17:39] Scunizi, collab and calendaring, etc, right/ [17:39] Scunizi: i just checked, there is none [17:39] ? [17:39] fiftyone: OK, maybe try adding the Wine repository for Ubuntu and upgrade to the most recent version === paulj1 is now known as pauljw [17:39] afancy: maybe it's not installed by default or in a different menu.. if you can't find it go to System>Admin>Synaptic Pkg Manager and search for it. You'll be able to install from there. [17:40] fiftyone: After that, all I can really suggest is playing with the configuration [17:40] (My english is not very good) Hi, I have "zoom" bluetooth, but woth 8.10 doesn't work, but I have another one, and this yes. But bluetooth is good, becose in windows works [17:40] why? [17:40] *with [17:40] !fonts [17:40] Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash?

Default channel and all :-P [17:40] mattbd okk cool, did you get what I said about when i load firefox and other programs? because this is leading me to think that it is a graphics problem and not a wine problme [17:41] fiftyone: Yes, I did see that [17:41] fiftyone: Is it basically random colours for a second then it fixes itself? [17:41] Decepticon: use find instead. find /etc for example [17:41] I'm thinking I prefer Ubuntu now that I've tested it and OpenSUSE. But one thing I liked on OpenSUSE was that my windows partitions were under /Windows/ and as such easily accessible. A cursory search has not revealed their locations to me in Ubuntu as of yet :-p [17:42] mattbd yes, exactly random colors for a second then if fixes itself [17:42] anyone here use OZOS? === Trotsky_Cat is now known as Commie_Cary [17:42] mattbd exactly [17:42] Hi. I installed Suse 11.1 today (usually I'm running a 8.10 ubuntu) now I've got problems with grub [17:42] Xenos_: they may not be mounted [17:42] How do I cause my computer to write hibernation files to the hard disk instead of to the swap? [17:42] suse is on sdb1, ubuntu on sdb2 [17:42] Xenos_: Try using PySDM, that lets you set it up to mount certain partitions at startup [17:42] but only ubuntu-boot works [17:42] ScottG489: swap is the hd [17:42] !ru [17:42] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [17:42] Scott: The hibernation files will be saved in the logs on your harddrive [17:42] Scottg489 you can make a swap file instead of a partition [17:42] Scunizi: Well to the drive partition [17:43] fiftyone: Mine does that too occasionally but I don't worry too much about it [17:43] ah ok [17:43] ScottG489: swap has it's own partition [17:43] afancy: : look here: http://www.linux.org/apps/all/Office/Project_Management.html [17:43] fiftyone: I had 4GB of RAM and 4 GB of swap. I think thats already a pretty outrageous amount of swap [17:43] so its a normal thing [17:43] scottG489 yea thats alot of swap [17:43] yes, i have found many [17:44] quibbler: which one is better [17:44] Scunizi: fiftyone: I made my system with 1.5 gigs of swap. But then when I got errors that I didnt have enough swap to hibernate I made more (2.5 for a total of 4GB) but I was still getting errors of not enough swap [17:44] hi [17:44] fiftyone: I can only really suggest if you want a certain game to work try using something other than the default Windows version for that game only - go for whatever Windows version it's mainly designed for, and try playing around with the settings. [17:44] is it possible do upgrade an existing debian stable to an ubuntu server? [17:44] ScottG489: it has to be a swap partition, there's no way around it in it's current implementation [17:45] Scunizi: fiftyone: so i tried typing "free" one time before i swapd and I had used about a gig between both my swap and RAM so I have no idea why there wouldnt be enough space [17:45] (i've got debian on my server but the packages are too old for me) [17:45] Scottg489 i think that 1gb of swap is more than enough [17:45] ScottG489: the typical rule for hibernate is 1.5x ram.. for you that's a lot.. can you hybernate with nothing open but the desktop? [17:45] afancy: ? i have no idea ...don't use one i have enough with googlecalendar [17:45] jtaji: Hibernation can not use a swap file? [17:45] ScottG489: nope [17:45] mattbd, thanks alot man i really appreciate it. [17:45] hi [17:45] Scunizi: Probably, but when i tried to hibernate one time i believe i just had Pidgin and Konversation open, maybe one other small program too [17:46] i have a problem upgrading ubuntu [17:46] http://rafb.net/p/ISVacn16.html [17:46] fiftyone: I got Doom for Windows 95 working by making sure the resolution in Wine matched what was in Doom when it ran [17:46] hey i didnt think of that [17:46] ScottG489: is this a laptop? [17:46] fiftyone: Or if the game will run in DOS, you can try DOSBox [17:46] lol@ windows 95 [17:46] isnt Doom native now? [17:46] Scunizi: fiftyone: jtaji said that hibernate can not find my hibernation file so as far as hibernate is concerned I only have 1.5 gigs of swap, apparently. Yes I'm on a laptop [17:46] mattbd, wow man i so remember windows 90 lol [17:47] deany: Freedoom isn't quite the same - I think a lot of the content is non-free [17:47] deany: The original Doom for DOS works best IMHO, I run it in DOSBox, but Wine will run the Windows 95 version [17:47] Ah. Got it mounted now. Now I just have to wait for updates to finish installing and I'll add PySDM (A web tutorial I found seems to recommend ntfs-config, tho?) [17:48] Enter text here...any girl [17:48] scottG489 I had the problem with my eeepc because ubuntu for somereason the hibernate osent work out of the box so i had to make a special swap file just for hibernation, still dosent work when I close the lid but fn+f1 work like a charm [17:48] ScottG489: hibernate is a difficult thing to get right on laptops because there is no standard way of implementing it. Ubuntu has made great strides in accomidating many types but hasn't reverse engineered them all. your's might be one of those.. check www.ubuntuforums.org and search for your laptop and hibernate to see what others are saying. [17:48] Xenos_, just make your mount point and add to fstab [17:49] Can someone help me find some good tutorials on using the tao framework with Monodevelop? [17:49] Scunizi: fiftyone: jtaji: So like I said, it seems like it would be best to just make hibernate write to my hard disk partition instead of swap? And Scunizi, it will hibernate sometimes so it does work, but it just seems kinda erratic as to when it works. [17:49] try looking on google for hibernation + ubuntu + your laptop version chances are this is not an isolaated probelm [17:49] Why does my network icon say disables, but I can get online? [17:49] maybe it's a different nic [17:49] fiftyone: Wel fn+f1 is sleep for me [17:49] hi [17:50] were you [17:50] nevermind I cant get online anymore? [17:50] anyone try ozos? [17:50] evon: Gave it a go once [17:50] hi [17:50] scottG489 what lappy are you using? [17:50] evon: Liked it, but OpenGEU is my fave E17 distro [17:50] hi [17:50] were you [17:51] fiftyone: I think it might have been hibernate before for me but I wanted to bind those keys to sleep. It wouldnt really matter either way, its the command the executes that matters. Im using a Dell Studio 15 [17:51] Scunizi: fiftyone: But there is a way to make hibernate write to my hard disk partition isnt there? === Wanderer_ is now known as Wanderer [17:52] noo7: if you have an ubuntu problem just state it ...if you just wish to chat go o #ubuntu-offtopics [17:52] #ubuntu-offtopic .. no "s" [17:52] Scunizi: sorry [17:53] mattbd: why do prefer OpenGeu? [17:54] scottg489 http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=273048 [17:54] hey guys, does ubutu support group type installations? [17:54] evon: OpenGEU is very polished and looks great, OzOS is very nice, but it's not quite on the same level as OpenGEU. [17:54] with fedora, we are able to do yum groupinstall "group name", trying to get a fully working development environment, and its getting rather tiring having to do it package by package [17:55] how can I untar a tar file using xarchiver (in cli) [17:55] NicEXE, use tar instead. [17:55] tar -x [17:55] if its a bz2 use tar -jx if its gz use tar -zx [17:55] daemoen: instead of what? [17:55] daemoen_, install fedora then :p [17:56] I cant get my netwrok connection? I eedited the /etc/network/interface. I was messing with vbox last night. I got online in the morning and now I can't get online? [17:56] mattbd: i'm installing OZOS in virtualbox right now and looks great so far. I think it looks a lot better than OpenGEU but I don't know what it will run like [17:56] alaz, nice typical dumbshit response to someone asking an honest question. [17:56] dont waste my time, plz. [17:56] scottG489 yes, like i said you just create a file on your hard drive. just create the file say 2gb then you tell linux to write hibernation there instead of your swap partition. [17:56] evon:I do think that E17 is the ideal desktop for netbooks though, and if I ran a netbook manufacturer I'd consider taking on the E17 developers on a salary to get it up to scratch quickly [17:56] NicEXE: tar is also a program that will untar and tar a set of files. [17:56] NicEXE: man tar [17:56] mattbd the eee pc is an amazing netbook [17:56] is there a similar way of installing groups in ubuntu, fairly straightforward question [17:56] evon: It's good, definitely, but the themes aren't really my cup of tea [17:56] ifconfig [17:57] mattbd: do you know if it comes with mp3, DVD and mp3 support (either opengeu or ozos) [17:57] xfce4 runs like a champ on my netbook. [17:57] fiftyone: I have an Eee and I love it [17:57] Ahh, better. [17:57] daemoen_: which development packages are you wanting? The Debian way is to use 'virtual' packages that depend on a bunch of real packages to install several at once [17:57] evon: I'm not sure about OzOS, but most Ubuntu-based distros ship without that support [17:57] daemoen_: See for example the virtual package "ubuntu-desktop" [17:57] mattbd: oh so it's just a matter of themes for you. ok. I want to install it on my sons old P3 but i want something that comes with that kind of support [17:57] right, or kubuntu-desktop [17:58] hy! i have some problem with my laptop. if i put the headsets on the sound will play through the headset but also through the speakers [17:58] How can I disable my br0 interface? [17:58] daemoen_: correct [17:58] is there a list of the virtual packages? [17:58] mattbd, its amazing fantastic little lappy i got the 1000H with 160gb Hd its fantastic. one of the best laptops i have owned [17:58] evon: It's pretty easy to install - just run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [17:58] mattbd: so as far as stability goes ozos is fine? [17:58] even better ssince im running ubuntu on it [17:58] mattbd: oh ok [17:58] evon: It was fine for me. [17:58] i made that decision that if I bought it I would only run linux on it [17:58] or an easy way to list them for that matter. dont know debian/ubuntu very well, so rather unfamiliar with it [17:58]  hy! i have some problem with my laptop. if i put the headsets on the sound will play through the headset but also through the speakers. how can i fix that so it will only play through headset. [17:59] was at least able to get the libs i needed by doing apt-get install zlib* but that was rather sloppy [17:59] how can i mount file.img to /here ? [17:59] fiftyone: Mine's a 2GB Surg so it's too small to run Ubuntu :-( [17:59] mattbd: thanks for the input. I will let my son choose which one he wants and install it. I will probably put one on my laptop too. [17:59] NicEXE, use the loop device [17:59] evon: Have you heard of Maryan Linux? [18:00] daemoen_: I'm not aware of a list, and I can't see how to search for them on http://packages.ubuntu.com ... possibly apt-cache can do that [18:00] daemoen: how? [18:00] Aryan Linux ? [18:00] mattbd: my laptop is an up to date one but i want an OS that will take up less resources. Maryan linux is still in its testing stages as far as I know. i installed it in virtualbox yesterday [18:00] adaptr: No, Maryan Linux http://www.maryanlinux.com/ [18:00] fiftyone: Ok, well I think that person was having a different problem then me but thanks. And how do I tell hibernate to write to that file on my harddisk instead of swap? [18:00] IntuitiveNipple, ok, ty, at least i have it compiling now, would just rather use a group :) [18:00] NicEXE: losetup /dev/loop0 file.img && mkdir /here && mount /dev/loop0 /here [18:01] evon: OK, I thought that might be worth trying as it's based on Linux Mint so it includes the restricted extras out of the box [18:01] hey [18:01] I have a br0 , eth0 , and lo, I don't want the br0. How can I get it to go away? [18:01] daemoen_: If you want the *development* headers then if there is a similar ubuntu package to the one you're building (possibly an earlier version) I often cheat and just do sudo apt-get build-dep [18:01] mattbd: well i will follow your instructions to install the restricted stuff [18:01] Droopsta915: man brctl [18:02] mattbd: so it's a fork of a fork.. linux mint is a fork of ubuntu [18:02] i have a problem with gnome-panel and associated applets on hardy [18:02] mattbd: what was that code again? [18:02] whenever I go offline, I lose the ability to use my computer's Apache server, is there a way to fix that? [18:02] Droopsta915, ifconfig remove br0 or so i think [18:02] SliM1: Whats your problem? [18:02] Droopsta915, man ifconfig and find the correct parameter to remove a interface. [18:02] how can i connect using vncviewer to a remote ubuntu pc if the user has not loogged in on that machine? [18:02] evon: sudo apt-get install ubuntu restricted-extras [18:02] fearful: they use way to much ram [18:02] SherlawkDragon: you mean that your machine is a desktop and server with apache? [18:02] I mean, I can't access localhost in offline mode [18:02] sudo apt-get clean my room [18:02] lolz === Sergeant_Pony_ is now known as Sergeant_Pony [18:03] Okay, now I'm getting frustrated. Reinstalled, configurated the IP manually, STILL the same problem. [18:03] Scunizi: It's more of a respin of Linux Mint than an actual fork [18:03] SliM1: How much exactly? [18:03] Scunizi> I mean, it's a computer that I do stuff with, and it has apache, but when I go offline, I can't access localhost [18:03] SherlawkDragon: depending on what you think "offline" means, you're not actually using "localhost" [18:03] i don't think 30 mb ram is ok for gnome-panel alone [18:03] Scunizi: They started with Mint and just customised it with E17 [18:03] SherlawkDragon: hwo do you mean go "offline" [18:03] SliM1: I'm using 15mb, how many panels do you have? [18:03] two === Justin_ is now known as TechSalvager [18:04] adaptr> I mean: unplug the LAN, so that I am no longer connected to the internet [18:04] mattbd: thanks a lot, your help is much appreciated [18:04] SliM1: I only have one and I'm using 15mb for the panel. [18:04] SherlawkDragon: Does apache bind to 127.0.0.1 ? can you access it via http://127.0.0.1/ ? [18:04] evon: You're welcome [18:04] IntuitiveNipple> no. I tried that. Doesn't work [18:04] SherlawkDragon: then it should be accessable only to the machine that it is running on. [18:04] SliM1: It is kind of high, how many things did you add to the panels? [18:04] Scunizi> yes. exactly. [18:05] It's brctl delbr br0, but it says the bridge br0 is still up. How can I get it to go down? [18:05] So what's wrong? [18:05] Salve #ubuntu [18:05] mattbd: do you know of any way to install e17 in mint [18:05] ? [18:05] It's brctl delbr br0, but it says the bridge br0 is still up. How can I get it to go down? [18:05] mattbd: i tried to use apt but it does not working properly [18:05] SherlawkDragon: you might check /etc/hosts and see if 127.0.0.1 is listed.

[18:06] SherlawkDragon: That will be the problem then. You need to ensure apache (and the virtual host(s)) are bound to localhost (127.0.0.1) *not* just the LAN interface IPs [18:07] help [18:07] It shouldn't be bound to anything else, but how do I check?

[18:21] evon, mattbd Use this one http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=97199&highlight=E17+cvs [18:21] fearful: i do, but i don't really need swap [18:22] TheBase: is it linux/ieee80211.h you're interested in [18:22] fearful: i have never seen it being used [18:22] kshadow: that's a really old one. older than the other one [18:22] IntuitiveNipple, things are been added to it on most kernel releases (if not all) [18:22] evon: Yesw, but it works. [18:22] :) [18:22] IntuitiveNipple, no. it's the nl80211.h [18:22] TheBase: apt-file search 80211.h should be under net/ [18:22] fearful: i do have 4 GB of RAM [18:22] IntuitiveNipple, http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.28.4/include/linux/nl80211.h [18:22] SliM1: Your swap uses 0%? [18:22] mattbd: i don't know about cvs? [18:22] fearful: yes [18:23] Thats awkward you should be using some of the swap that could be one of the starting errors [18:23] evon: CVS is a versioning system. Basically it means it grabs the source code for it and compiles it. [18:23] IntuitiveNipple, browsing through the version you will see that new stuff keeps been added. [18:23] hi [18:23] evon: You do gt the latest and greatest but it's very slow and can take a few hours to compile [18:24] is there any reason why subversion depends on mysql-common? [18:24] TheBase: I'm looking at the git-log history [18:24] mattbd: Few hours? You must have a slow box. :O [18:24] SliM1: I can't think why else it is using so much memory, sometimes little apps like update manager and gnome-panel use a lot of the RAM but should go to swap [18:24] mattbd: i did use the cvs version i believe because it took a very long time to install [18:25] Hi all, Can anyone tell me how to stop my disc drive ejecting during the boot sequence? [18:25] fearful: well, yes, but the appearance manager app is a real problem [18:25] SliM1: You sure swap is enabled? [18:25] evon: With something like OpenGEU or OzOS it'll already be bundled with E17 so no compile time unless it uses the CVS to upgrade [18:25] fearful: 0 out of 5GB [18:25] SliM1: Thats real wierd one sec [18:25] hi, anyone know anything about encryption on linux>? I would likee to encrypt a couple of folders whats the best program to do such a thing>/? [18:25] kshadow: This was in Virtualbox, so a bit slower than a real machine [18:25] Ah, yeah, for sure. [18:25] IntuitiveNipple, where can I get the file's history? [18:25] TheBase: yeah, the key differences between v2.6.24 (hardy) and v2.6.25 are station beacon and key handling [18:26] oh holy crap.. apparently i got drunk and ordered a new car off the interwebs last nite. [18:26] sorry, wrong channel :( [18:26] mattbd: ok thanks. I will try those to distros. [18:26] sound isn't working [18:26] mattbd: burning ozos right now [18:26] TheBase: Well, the way to check the git-log is to clone the kernel git tree and query the log, but you'd probably need to then spend time learning how best to use git too :) [18:26] d [18:26] d [18:26] d [18:26] soumen: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:27] anyone know how to get tvucast to work in linux? [18:27] evon: Hope ozos or OpenGEU work out OK for you [18:27] TheBase: It'll be quicker to install an Intrepid kernel and modify menu.lst [18:27] SliM1: I seriously can't think of any reason why its using so much RAM. [18:27] I used bestcrypt before on windows i downloaded it for linux but not sure how well it will work. Anyone have any experiance with encryption for linux>< [18:27] mattbd: me too. I tried opengeu on my laptop before and it didn't work well at all [18:27] SliM1: Restart xserver? CTRL + ALT + Backspace [18:28] IntuitiveNipple, That's actually on my TODO list. What git tool do you use btw? [18:28] fiftyone: Only with decryption sorry. [18:28] fearful: i have already restarted my computer several times [18:28] kshadow, thanks [18:28] evon: Well, laptops are generally more tricky than desktops [18:28] fearful: perhaps kde is better [18:29] SliM1: Well, you can try because I seriously have no reason why your apperance manager is using so much RAM it shouldn't [18:29] mattbd: i guess so. i use my laptop mostly so i need a good OS for it/ [18:30] Hi all, Can anyone tell me how to stop my disc drive ejecting during the boot sequence? [18:30] SliM1: Have you installed anything that may affect it? === Inc`` is now known as Inc` [18:30] fearful: it's not using much ram, it's just using as much processing power a single thread can [18:30] <[biabia]> something isnt set how i want it. i close my apps before i reboot, but when i login they all auto-start, (browser, xchat) how can i have them not auto-start? [18:30] does anyone know how to edit window border in ubuntu [18:30] evon: These day's its rare to find something that won't work at all unless it's very new hardware [18:30] <_VIM_> kshadow: I found an updated guide for E17 , that one was a bit outdated :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=916690 [18:30] SliM1: well, the problem may be that I started with a cli system [18:30] TheBase: git-core package contains the git tools [18:30] wcdl: What do you mean? Do you mean change the theme for application windows? [18:30] [biabia], go to your session managment settings [18:31] does anyone know how to edit window border in metacity [18:31] IntuitiveNipple, Cool. [18:31] IntuitiveNipple, Thanks for the help! [18:31] <[biabia]> Danielbw_home: ok [18:31] wcdl: You can change the theme for the Metacity window manager if that's what you mean [18:31] timahvo1, thanks for the help! [18:31] yeah i know but only the sides [18:31] :) [18:32] tampering with the kernel rules :D [18:32] i wanna change only the sides....example like mac os x [18:32] SliM1: I have no idea I'm sorry I bumped I can't think of anything else [18:32] ok [18:32] my computer is not playing mp3 files! i installed the GStreamer extra plugins. When I try to import music i get the error "the gstreamer plugins to play audio/x-asf-unknown type files cannot be found [18:32] wcdl: Do you want to make it look like a Mac then? [18:32] help? [18:32] i'll give kde a try [18:32] Every time I open the file selection window with buttons like "Browse" in applications or on websites, the window comes up tiny, and I have to drag the corner to make it normal size. Does anyone know how to fix this? [18:32] yes [18:32] wcdl: If so try Mac4Lin [18:33] !mp3 > jonah [18:33] jonah, please see my private message [18:33] my cursor doesnt move fast enough; i have Sensitivity to max, but i dont like Acceleration, so im not adding it [18:33] wcdl: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac4lin [18:33] SliM1: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [18:33] Zopiac1: that is what makes your cursor faster [18:33] i want to make it look like Mac but only the window [18:33] wcdl: There's full instructions inside the package [18:33] without the borders [18:33] SliM1: Might want to consider xubuntu-desktop too, it uses xfce4 [18:33] wcdl: You can pick out just the parts you want to use [18:34] fearful: yeah, i know, but i'll remove gnome before that [18:34] Royall: then what is sensitivity? in just about everything else i use it is how fast it moves [18:34] i'll give it a try [18:34] wcdl: Only other way to do it would be to find a theme that is already like that or make one [18:34] SliM1: Ok well, sorry coulnd't help... I have no idea and yea you could try xubuntu, its made for less resource usage [18:34] Zopiac1: Don't really know, but Acceleration is the speed [18:34] mattbd: true enough. I just don't have the time for all that tinkering. and I really dislike windows. [18:34] MoTec: well, i'll start with kde [18:34] is it faster than gnome? [18:34] <[biabia]> Danielbw_home: aha! thanks [18:34] and about edit an existing one [18:34] SliM1: It's made for computers with less power. [18:35] yes, xfce is blazingly fast compared to either gnome or xfce, expecially on lower power hardware. [18:35] xfce beats xfce on all fronts! [18:35] kde, not xfce [18:35] you can download the xubuntu and kubuntu live cds and give 'em both a try. [18:35] adaptr: heh, yes.. i messed that up, obviously :) [18:35] To change my hostname, it looks like I need to modify /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts. Is there anything else I need to modify? This is an ssh-only server, so I need to make sure I'll have access after I change it =) [18:35] wcdl: Yes you could do that, but it's easier to find an existing one on http://gnome-look.org [18:36] hmm, won't xubuntu-dektop/kubuntu-desktop be enough? [18:36] meant to say that xfce is faster than kde and/or gnome, obviously :) [18:36] mattbd: the question is, i like the darkroom theme and i want to remove the window border of that theme [18:36] SliM1: yes, you can do that, too [18:36] <[biabia]> kde is more geared to profiding expanded configurability and features while xfce is designed towards systems where resource conservation is desired/necessary ? [18:36] is there anyway to do that? [18:36] MoTec: does compiz work (well) with xubuntu? [18:36] wcdl: You can change Metacity's theme [18:36] is nessesory to install antivirus on ubuntu ? [18:36] no [18:37] SliM1: I don't use copiz becaue my hardware is weak - that's why i'm using xfce in the first place. [18:37] http://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/evilmalware.html [18:37] :p [18:37] I dont see hardly any difference in speed/mem usage with xubuntu/ubuntu.. i noticed it using gnome libs too.. [18:37] wcdl: Metacity is the window manager, so that controls the outsides of the application such as the minimise and exit widgets and the outside [18:38] wcdl: Or you could use Compiz and install the Emerald theme manager so you could use Emerald themes, which are a lot nicer than Metacity ones [18:38] MoTec: why not openbox? :> [18:38] SliM1: because there is no oubuntu :) [18:38] there is [18:39] SliM1: There's CrunchBang Linux, that uses OpenBox, and is very good [18:39] darkweasel: is open source only getting that now...windows has had it for ages [18:39] MoTec: i think i've read about it in the wiki [18:40] mattbd: well, openbox is not for me [18:40] yeah, when it comes to viruses open source is years behind windows, really! [18:40] SliM1: yeah, just found a forum post on how to install it, starting from ubuntu-server [18:40] darkweasel: A great way of phrasing it, that :D [18:41] xfig gives me this when trying to export fig2dev: can't open file: /usr/share/xfig/fig2dev/sv_SE.UTF-8.ps :( [18:41] MoTec: that's bad, ubuntu server has a different kernel, i tried it starting with the ubuntu minimal cd [18:41] hi, I added windows xp to my grub config file but when I try to boot it nothing happens.. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/115729/ [18:41] ubuntu server has a different kernel? seems new to me [18:42] darkweasel: Yes, they have a kernel customised for servers installed by default in Ubuntu Server, if you install a desktop like ubuntu-desktop it can mess it up because it will pull in the kernel for Ubuntu Desktop [18:43] ah, ok - learning something new every day [18:43] hi all, I need to remove sudo abilities for a user, how can I do that ? is it the same as removing root abilities ? [18:43] Hello [18:43] blip-: Just remove them from the admin group [18:43] blip-: Run visudo and remove them from the list of sudoers [18:43] darkweasel: server kernel has a slower clock (desktop has 250Hz, server 100Hz), PAE support on 32-bit, and several other differences [18:44] mattbd: Thats not the correct method (nor will it work) [18:44] hm. ok. === BuslanBR is now known as RuslanBR [18:44] will kubuntu-desktop give me kde 4? (hardy) [18:44] Flannel: I just tried it as "sudo visudo" and it worked [18:44] <_VIM_> SliM1: yes [18:44] SliM1, not on hardy [18:44] SliM1: Yes it will [18:44] <_VIM_> yes it will [18:45] really? [18:45] mattbd: The users aren't listed in sudoers, so you can't remove them from it. [18:45] I heard there was a way to install Ubuntu inside windows, is this a good idea? [18:45] Flannel: Oh, yes, you're right. Ooops! [18:45] actually i thought on hardy it's called kubuntu-desktop-kde4 or something [18:45] Artelus: Depends on your usage of Ubuntu [18:45] <_VIM_> Artelus: you mean wubi? [18:45] the fan of my ATI 9600 never stop to turn, how to stop it ? [18:45] Well, from the Live CD === alain is now known as Guest90096 [18:45] Artelus: depends on what you want to use it for [18:45] !wubi | Artelus [18:45] Artelus: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [18:45] there's an option to install/uninstall inside windows. [18:45] Artelus: If you want it just to mess around with it then yea [18:45] <_VIM_> darkweasel: no [18:46] I don't want to risk partitioning my drive to dual-boot Ubuntu, and I also don't want to run it from USB [18:46] Artelus: Virtualbox is a good way to try it too [18:46] Artelus: If you want to work with the system, than I suggest you dualboot using grub. [18:46] then wubi is a good idea [18:46] Artelus: Than, yea wubi [18:46] But I want to use ubuntu for like...browsing and stuff. [18:46] * nickrud votes for virtualbox over wubi any day [18:46] Flannel: Sorry, I've only ever amended /etc/sudoers in other distros [18:46] wubi will be faster thehn virtual box and use real hardware [18:46] Artelus: Wubi will install it using the Windows loader [18:46] * _VIM_ adds his vote for Vbox too [18:46] I heard there is a bit of a performance decrese, does that mean ubuntu with wubi is slower than if I installed it on it's own, or is it just the hard drive? [18:46] Does anyone suggest I should try out KDE? I never really used KDE before I always been Gnome, What do you guys think>? Which is better / why? [18:47] Artelus: yes [18:47] Artelus: just harddrive [18:47] is there a command to stop the fan of my ATI 9600 gaphic card ? [18:47] I did try fluxbox but i could never figure it out and always screwed it up within minutes [18:47] Artelus: Yes but, if you want it to browse and stuff than its ok. [18:47] Artelus: Wubi is slower because it's running on a Windows filesystem and not a native Linux one [18:47] Artelus, if you are scrupulous about defragging before and after the install, it'll run about as fast as it can [18:47] fiftone: I like IceWM [18:47] fiftyone, personally i prefer gnome - but just try it and see for yourself if you like it ;) [18:47] Ah, so Ubuntu's speed is not decreased, just my hard drive while using wubi? [18:47] Artelus: No [18:48] Because I want to install Ubuntu to use as a full operating system, but I don't want to partition or anything... [18:48] well it can suffer from ntfs defragmentation, from what i've heard [18:48] darkewasel I think KDE is more windows es>? no? I mean what are the main differences>? [18:48] Artelus. Windows uses the NTFS filesystem, Ubuntu uses ext3 [18:48] Hey I got this problem booting and was wondering if someone coudl help me? [18:48] Artelus: Native linux uses ext3, while in Windows its either fat32 or ntfs. It'll be slower because of that [18:48] is there anyway i can see the last time a user logged into my computer? i think i've been hacked [18:48] G-Bleezy, please specify what your problem is [18:48] About one and a half years ago I stumbled upon a Linux game, still Beta at that time. But I can't remember it's name. You could draw let's say two circles, make them spin, put a box on them and there you made a car. There wasn't a deb for a game, you just extract it an play. I hope that someone can tell me the name of this game! ;) [18:48] when i boot it says: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown wn-block(0,0) [18:48] alright... [18:48] anyone know how i could fix that? [18:48] well, what's the risk of repartitioning my hard drive? [18:48] i think he got that. but all drivers etc will work normally [18:49] my machine still will not play downloaded limewire songs :( but i like ubuntu and i wish it would work! [18:49] Artelus: If you want it just for browsing and playing around with it I suggest installing with wubi. [18:49] I can partition my C drive to make it small, and give about 20GB to ubuntu, but will it mess anything up? [18:49] jonah, what format are they in? [18:49] satchafunkilus i know exactly what your talking about. [18:49] I played it too [18:49] Artelus: How powerful is your machine? Virtualbox might be a better choice [18:49] Artelus: There is not a real risk if you can do it correctly. Read up on how to partition drives, theres many walk through [18:49] can someone please helop me? [18:49] It's not so good. [18:49] mattbd: No worries [18:49] 384MB ram, 3.1Ghz processor [18:49] i cant remember the name but 1 sec ii will look [18:49] mp3. lol. i installed the gstreamer mp3 plugin. no dice [18:49] graphic card is average [18:49] Artelus: i'd just use wubi for now ... you can see if drivers etc work w/o risk [18:49] Artelus: I would go with Xubuntu then [18:49] alright [18:50] Artelus: OK, Virtualbox is definitely out [18:50] Does Xubuntu work with wubi? [18:50] <_VIM_> O.o all that processor and hardly no ram? [18:50] yes Artelus [18:50] <_VIM_> ram is cheap! [18:50] lol [18:50] Artelus: Wubi comes on Xubuntu and Kubuntu as well [18:50] joanki124, if nobody knows, nobody will answer - maybe the forums or mailing lists are a better place if you don't get an answer here [18:50] fiftyone: please send me a private msg, i'll be back in 5-10 min [18:51] when i try to play it i get the error mpeg audio header not found [18:52] on all the mp3's [18:52] hi all i have a file movie its .avi iam using deved to maake dvd, then it looks it will be an iso file, how do i burn it then to be a dvd disc so ican play it on my dvd player do i burn it as iso on gnome [18:52] matrix: Use basero to burn it [18:52] Brasero* [18:53] are there more start menus for gnome? [18:53] How do I make Ubuntu auto connect on wifi? [18:53] Everytime my wifi disconnects, I get a dialog that I have to manually connect to [18:53] I want to auto connect to my network [18:54] fearful:where is brasero [18:54] Intrepid doesn't suggest me to install proprietary drivers for my ATI 9600, why ? [18:54] ok i found it [18:54] how do you automount a drive? I have an 80gb and a 30gb partition i would like to auto-mount any ideas how> [18:54] mount--auto [18:54] fiftyone: sudo apt-get install just-google-it [18:55] i think you have to edit something in /etc/fstab - but i don't know what exactly [18:55] fearful:iam in brasero what to choose there there are 4 options [18:55] fiftyone: If they are on a fixed disk you'll need to add entries to /etc/fstab describing them, and a directory to mount them on (usually in /media/ or /mnt/) [18:56] fiftyone: If they are removable devices (hot plug or USB) then gnome-mount should detect and mount them when connected, unless that option is turned off [18:56] IntuitiveNipple, thanks alot man i appriciate it [18:56] in python after you use a file, does it close it down stright after? [18:56] anyone want to help me rebuild a specific kernel module from the intrepid tree? [18:56] fearful:iam in brasero what to choose there there are 4 options [18:56] matrix, i'd suggest "video project" [18:56] or whatever that's called in the english version [18:56] i only got the german version here and i'm translating that myself :p [18:56] Man! That was horrible. Everything suddenly zoomed in a*lot* and I found no way to exit that. had to logout :-/ [18:56] Hey [18:56] <[biabia]> I removed the kde/kubuntu desktop and it still shows the splash screen for kubuntu on startup. where are those stored? or how can i get it to stop showing the kubuntu splash [18:57] what's the best way to shrink the windows partition and create a new partition? [18:57] i have datproject,burnimage,soundproject,cdcopy [18:57] <_VIM_> Xenos: ive done that more than ill admit :) [18:57] are there any amazing windows applications that dont work at all in ubuntu or have a decent counterpart [18:57] [biabia], install startup-manager, it allows you to choose the splash screen [18:57] <_VIM_> they SERIOUSLY need to fix that zoom [18:57] _VIM_: What is it? And why the hell doesn't escape quit it? [18:57] <[biabia]> darkweasel: ok thanks [18:57] hello all [18:57] <_VIM_> Xenos: wish i knew [18:57] _VIM_: Annoying as all hell :-/ [18:57] Hey guys. I have a mobo from an hp pc and i cant find out online if it is compatible with core 2 duo but it is socket 775. What would happen if i put my c2d cpu on it and it wasnt compatible? Would anything be damaged or would it be safe to try? Thanks [18:58] have you tried google? [18:58] What's the safest way to shrink the windows partition and make another one for linux? [18:59] partitionmagic or any partition manager will work [18:59] <[biabia]> i personally boot ubuntu live and use gparted [18:59] i personally use Gparted [18:59] its free [18:59] Will it be safe to use? [19:00] never let me down [19:00] if you pay attention to what you do, yes [19:00] Artelus: If the NTFS partition has Vista in it, Windows disk-management allows you to shrink the file-system inside a partition whilst it is running. Then the partition can be shrunk to fit that from gparted or similar [19:00] <[biabia]> safe is a relative term when partitioning. it will do what you tell it [19:00] LIRC=headache :( [19:00] I have Vista in it [19:00] Well, what could go wrong? [19:00] hi, i have ssh access to an ubuntu machine with sudo superpowers. I need to remove admin privs from a user, I ran "sudo visudo" which opened up a file... but that file doesn't contain that user's name... where is he defined as admin ? [19:00] Artelus: and defrag it first [19:00] I just did :) [19:01] Artelus: Use Windows disk management then... in disk management select the file-system and right-click... there is an option to resize [19:01] blip-: the user can sudo because they're in the admin (or wheel) group [19:01] What can go wrong? any warnings i should know about? [19:01] blip-: sounds like your sudo powers are defined by group [19:01] <[biabia]> Artelus: if you tell it to do the wrong thing, thinking its what you wanted [19:01] * juggalorebor invokes rule 34 on his Video Driver [19:01] anyone know a cmd i can type into terminal to get everyone that has recently logged into my machine - every single user? [19:01] Like what? [19:01] blip-: `man usermod` to see how to remove him from the group [19:01] joanki125: recently or currently? [19:01] Artelus: it is always good to back things up [19:02] recently [19:02] and also to see what users there are on my system? [19:02] I can't really back up 70GB of data... =p [19:02] <_VIM_> joanki125: again the user logs should tell you that, or did you have no luck with logs yesterday? [19:02] <_VIM_> joanki125: the who command [19:02] joanki125: `who` [19:02] no _VIM_ [19:02] joanki125: for currently logged in [19:03] <_VIM_> ah well for now try 'who' [19:03] klasikahl: for previously logged in? [19:03] joanki125: /var/log/auth.log is the log of authenticated sessions [19:03] thanks klas [19:03] I don't see an option to resize....I'm using XP home edition [19:03] Every time I open the file selection window with buttons like "Browse" in applications or on websites, the window comes up tiny, and I have to drag the corner to make it normal size. Does anyone know how to fix this? [19:03] joanki125: take a look at /var/log/auth.log.. whatever editor you prefer, or `less` [19:04] I currently run Ubuntu in my Virtual box, if i wanted to put it on my hard drive, will grub automatically change my mbr so i have options for both at startup? [19:04] klasikahl: so that helped, but it only goes back to february 4 [19:04] is there a farther back log? [19:04] thanks by the way [19:04] joanki125: yes [19:04] joanki125: logrotate compresses your logs and puts them in archive mode [19:04] joanki125: ls /var/log/auth.log* [19:05] joanki125: to read the ones with .gz extension, do `gunzip ` [19:05] joanki125: then use your viewer [19:05] !ssl [19:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about ssl [19:05] joanki125, or zless /var/log/authlog* [19:05] i'm concerned because i found this on mjy system under history: http://pastebin.com/d720a59e2 [19:06] _VIM_: It's windows button+mouse scrollwheel :-/ [19:06] any one know how I can get Xfig to support latin-1?

[19:09] garrett__: you know, 2.6.29 is a devel version. not meant for everyday use [19:09] !kernel | garrett__ [19:09] garrett__: 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 [19:09] garrett__: odd version numbers mean testing [19:10] _VIM_: In certain portions of Ubuntuspeak, I guess. It's got a Windows logo on my computer though, so calling it the "Windows button" makes a bit more sense IMO :-P [19:11] hey all. where can i find my "profile folder" for firefox in ubuntu 8.10? [19:11] Ive seen keyboards with little "Tux Penguins" instead of the windows logo. [19:11] go to your home folder sheena1 [19:11] yes, i do understand that it isn't release ready, but I have a few issues with hardware that may be addressed(from what i read) and I just wanted to try it [19:11] and press ctrl-h [19:11] sheena1, its in .mozilla/ somewhere. :) [19:11] Dr_willis: I think it's under ~/.mozilla [19:11] then there's a folder .mozilla [19:11] garrett__: interesting... 2.6.28 didn't give you the fixes you needed? [19:11] Dr_willis: sorry, wrong person [19:11] oh! Lots of folders in there, darkweasel! I didn't see them before [19:11] <_VIM_> Xenos: I stuck a pic of a penguin over my win key for that very reason [19:11] <_VIM_> :D [19:11] hehe [19:12] does anyone have a idea why I would be having problems shutting down ubuntu? when i shutdown I get a really colorful screen? [19:12] :) [19:12] not really, it's a toshiba laptop and the audio chip isn't supported on 2.6.28 [19:12] my keyboard is so old it doesn't even have a windows or penguin key :) only piece of hardware i've been using constantly since the 1980s :) [19:12] i've programmed my "Windows button" to bring up a terminal...so at least it's good for something [19:13] @jonstetler1: try typing 'sudo shutdown -P now' [19:13] darkweasel, i found the .mozilla folder, and went into the firefox folder, and i see two things. one is "profiles.ini" and the other is "bl9b06q7.default".. which is the one i want to change? [19:13] <_VIM_> haha quibbler [19:13] the bl9b one === edson is now known as dmesg [19:13] Anyone care to help me troubleshoot some wireless issues with a Linksys WRT54G? [19:13] i.e. the one with the random symbols [19:14] @JohnAlpha: I'll try to help if I can [19:15] darkweasel: thanks so much. I hope that fixed it! :) [19:15] garrett: Thanks, I'm pretty clueless since I have no real experience with wireless. [19:15] garrett_: like when I go to shutdown the computer? [19:15] JohnAlpha: what's wrong with the wrt54g? [19:15] garrett: I set it up when my laptop had Vista on it, and I just formatted it to Ubuntu, installed the wireless card driver. [19:16] @jonstetler: yes, exactly [19:16] I have a small army of those deployed :) [19:16] Ubuntu sees my router's SSID and when I go to connect, it asks for the password. [19:16] JohnAlpha: That will be the wireless encryption key it wants, not the router's password. [19:16] I give the password, specifying WPA & WPA 2 Personal (the router is using WPA) and after attempting to connect for a minute or two, it fails. [19:17] MoTec: Okay, I'll try that. [19:17] ok, what type of computer is it? laptop/desktop? [19:17] Hello , How can i find the best Virtual Machine for Ubuntu 8.04 ?

I also notice that under Network Connections, if I edit the settings for that connection, the BSSID and MAC addresses fields are blank. Not sure if I need anything for those. [19:23] funkylarge: Add it to /etc/fstab so the system knows about it [19:23] @jonstetler1: yeah, if that doesn't work, let me know(maybe we should pm) [19:24] JohnAlpha: If you have no other wireless clients active you can always reset the WPA key.

[20:00] !testdisk | helpgoingnuts [20:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about testdisk [20:00] Dr_willis: i think we are moving offtopic, but sux is almost as good as man pump, but alast dhclient has done away with that fun [20:01] !info testdisk | helpgoingnuts [20:01] testdisk (source: testdisk): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool.

[20:02] with sudo then your program [20:02] meoblast001: yes but I presume you want to use it to connect to a phone [20:02] meoblast001: or some other device [20:02] sorin7486, no [20:02] sorin7486, to a headset [20:02] bash testdisk command not found [20:03] sorin7486, how do i know ubuntu is properly using the bluetooth device? [20:03] meoblast001: if the bluetooth icon appears that means the USB adaptor was probably recognised [20:03] oh wait.. it found the device [20:03] and the headset [20:03] helpgoingnuts: you'd need to install it. but if you are on a recovery mission you should rather use a specialized recue distro like system rescue cd or parted magic... not an ubuntu install CD [20:03] oh, ok. yes I do need to recover [20:03] so would that mean I need another harddrive to transfer? I cant do it all on this drive? === geo_ is now known as geo05 [20:04] because this drive is full of files [20:04] meoblast001: I've never used bluetooth with a headset ... I have been using it to transfer files to a phone and it's pretty straight forward [20:04] how do I turn off the cpu freq scaling thing? (so that it doesn't slow down, cuz that messes up realtime video encoding) === geo_ is now known as geo05 [20:05] hi, im not sure im in the right chat, but ill just ask: Is it possible to link 2 pc over sata II ? [20:05] CarlFK, kill the power saving applets/daemons [20:05] somebody there? :( [20:05] helpgoingnuts: http://www.clonezilla.org - it can backup a drive over lan, usb, etc. [20:05] silidan: It's possible, yes... but I haven't heard of anyone doing it [20:05] over lan eh? hmm... [20:05] dcfldd wir air imager [20:05] eut: i need it more permanently, so that I don't have to do it each time I reboot [20:06] dcfldd with air imager [20:06] Slart: can you give more details or a hint to a discussion / howto? [20:06] CarlFK, look at the /etc/init.d scripts, there should be one in there for the power saving stuff [20:06] hi guys.. [20:06] I used my 16gb thumb drive on a WindowsME computer... now Ubuntu only mounts it read-only... any ideas? [20:07] silidan: it's possible in the same way as building a 200 meter long car out of tooth picks... === Travis_ is now known as traviss [20:07] talntid, mount /dev/whatever /media/usb -o umask=000 === traviss is now known as TTT_Travis [20:07] Hey guys just had a quick question. I have an hp machine which i wanted to upgrade but could find barely any info online about its motherboard. It has a 775 socket with a p4 chip in it and i wanted to know if there was any risk in putting a core 2 duo on it. I mean, if it is not compatible is there any danger of any damage being done? There is the possibility that it is compatible though. Thanks [20:07] silidan: I have no idea how one would do it.. but I guess it would take at least a couple of months to build the hardware and write some kind of driver for it.. [20:07] silidan: I think you might have more luck on a hardware channel :) [20:07] testrtest1 not really the right channel, but whats the model number? [20:08] well i imagine that it wouldn not require any special hardware [20:08] testrtest1: check mobo specification [20:08] ttt_travis, thanks. its an hp dx2200 the motherboard is msi-0a48 it has ati radeon xpress 200 [20:08] silidan: you're right but it would require some kernel hacking [20:08] spass cant find much info onlnie [20:08] silidan: then it seems you know more about sata and how it communicates than I do [20:08] yes, thats why im asking around.... in hope to find someone who already tried / did this [20:09] or at least knows for sure f it is possible /impossible [20:09] silidan: what makes you think someone has done it? it seems easier to just use a regular ethernet connection [20:09] same. read only file system [20:09] silidan: try tracking down some kernel people that do sata drivers ;) [20:10] because when oyu need parallel processing on low budget and Gbit lan is too slow for you... this would be next option that come to my mind [20:10] ok, where can i find kernel developers? [20:10] eut: same - read only [20:10] especially ones doing sata [20:11] helpgoingnuts: check these out http://air-imager.sourceforge.net/; http://dcfldd.sourceforge.net, http://www.sleuthkit.org/autopsy/desc.php [20:11] testrtest1 hmm sorry, I can't find any info about that board, I am doubting a Core 2 would work tho [20:11] talntid, then i'm not sure... umask should give everybody full permissions, man mount for more info [20:11] silidan: if gigabig lan it too slow you're no longer playing in the "low budget" division =).. not sure what they use in supercomputers.. probably something special [20:11] talntid, *umask=000 [20:11] hmm [20:11] yeah I had tried that already :) [20:11] ttt_travis, thanks, yeah, i cant find much info either. is there any risk in trying to put a c2d on it though? [20:11] they ise fiber optic links if im right [20:11] testrtest1: can you open it up, and read the mobo type they put in those ? [20:11] Slart, ESP :) and Warp-Speed Lan! [20:12] with i think about 10 Gigbit [20:12] Hi I have a data hard drive that I moved from my old ubuntu computer, now on the new computer the files are all highlighted green in terminal, I Think that means sticky bit -- how do I get the files back to normal? [20:12] testrtest1: worst case... it wont run ;] [20:12] testrtest1: putting the c2d in a lga 775 won't hurt it [20:12] Ok so, suddenly about a month or so ago dvds stopped working, they work on windows, /dev/scd0 should be the disk drive, however, it says there is no media..if I start gnome (which used to autoplay the dvds)..gnome does not see the dvd drive [20:12] spass and ta1ntid thanks [20:12] silidan: but go read up on the protocol SATA uses.. if you're lucky it's just software you need [20:12] will try it then [20:12] cya [20:12] i can't get the bluetooth headset to work [20:12] gusy [20:12] testrtest1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === histo_ is now known as histo [20:12] spass, MoTec what is the bet method with nmap to test if a host is online (if remote host is blocking ping) [20:12] Dr_willis: hehe.."ESP inside" =) [20:13] ok i think so too, but can oyu give me hint on which channel i can find some kernel ppl ? [20:13] silidan: try ##linux ... or check kernel.org [20:13] talntid, did you unmount it before you remounted? [20:13] cause in the end i think a ethernet driver for sata is needed [20:13] adac: nmap -O host should work [20:13] Slart, I need a Tee-shirt with that.. for my Mom! :) [20:13] twil try [20:13] adac: try using arping [20:14] yes, eut [20:14] Dr_willis: hmm.. ESP with paranoid mode =) [20:14] hey guys, need help. i want to play alien arena online but i can't coz im behind proxy. I try to use privoxy so that privoxy will listen to the localhost connections and forward it to my proxy server. Can someone help me.. I dunno how to config the privoxy.. [20:14] i was using an old version of Banshee which auto-downloaded album cover artwork for one of my albums. The artwork is bad - it's distorted in a green color. I just updated to Banshee 1.4.2 hoping that it will use the "cover.jpg" file in the folder where the music resides, but it doesnt. How can I make it flush the old downloaded image and use the cover.jpg in the directory? Thanks! [20:14] Slart, and 'free guilt trips' [20:14] talntid, maybe someone else can help.. i dunno [20:14] thanks for trying =D [20:14] How would you format/repartition a drive with Ubuntu? [20:14] anybody? [20:14] adac: check -sA [20:14] russia213, one way - use 'gparted' [20:15] adac: it needs root perms [20:15] russia213, and you partition, then format. === toga30 is now known as ToGa [20:15] yeah, both -sA and -O would require root [20:15] Dr_Willis: Where do I get gparted or is it already installed? [20:16] spass, MoTec ok, i will try your options and see what is the best. thx! [20:16] russia213, if its not.. install it.. Logical eh? [20:18] russia213: after install it will be on menu but you have to be root so gksu gparted from console === carpediem1 is now known as carpediem [20:18] k [20:19] co ty nie powiesz [20:19] rusi [20:19] borys: idź na polski kanał [20:19] is there alight desktop environment which doesn't need to be configured with text files? [20:19] could you please suggest me an up-to-date howto for installing dansguardian (or any other parental filter) on intrepid as transparent proxy? Thanks! [20:20] etchy, every desktop enviroment stores settings in a text file, some provice gui front-ends to modify those. I like openbox, has a frontend called obconf [20:20] I am having all kinds of problems getting Ubuntu installed. [20:20] etchy, the only setting that needs to be done manuall is for keyboard shortcuts and that's very easy. it's a new wm so the future will bring more gui tools [20:20] I finally got past the install base system by running it three times. [20:21] what's the difference between Hardy and 8.04 LTS ? I can't tell the diff [20:21] Now, it keeps dieing on "select and install software". What can I do? [20:21] blip-: Hard is 8.04 [20:22] blip-: same thing. Technically, the term "Hardy" is meant to used during devel only, but that's not the case in practice [20:22] blip-, ok, because some desktop environments need to be configured through text files to change the size of the panel for example [20:22] Scunizi, yes but I have an old CD that was 8.04 only. I went to download one today and it was called 8.04 LTS [20:22] it even had updated drivers somehow [20:22] What does the kernel option irqpoll do? [20:22] I see various errors: Couldn't find task ubuntustudio-audio, tasksel: aptitude failed (100) [20:23] etchy, openbox doesn't give you a panel, you install one seperately from the repositories. if you want an easy and nice one try fbpanel [20:23] DiL: I do I get it to format to ntfs? [20:23] etchy, and if you want desktop icons, try pcmanfm file manager (it has desktop icon support in the file manager itself :) [20:24] I have a bit of a problem :( [20:25] hey [20:25] My openoffice does not have "Icons" on the toolbars, it just has the words identifying the actions. Why is this? and how can I get the icons like i see in other screenshots? [20:26] I deleted a non-essential primary partition so that I could create an extended partition there instead, and free up that 4th primary spot to put Linux on..... but now Windows doesn't boot up and I can't see my partitions [20:26] My apt-get reports loads of dependency errors on this machine I just assumed control of - how do I "trick" it to ignore those so I can just get a kernel update? [20:26] WIGGMPk: might have something to do with your theme.. I installed a dark theme yesterday and all my icons with OO disappeared as well. [20:27] ntp seems to be missing on the servers. Getting a 404. Anyone know of an alternate place to get it? [20:27] Scunizi: i like my theme.. have you tried installing the hi contrast package to see if it will fix? [20:27] WIGGMPk: nope.. [20:27] if i install a source package via apt-get, whats the correct way to remove it? just delete the dir ? [20:28] carpii: huh? explain exactly what you mean with commands [20:28] like i did "sudo apt-get source kmail" [20:28] which retrieved a tarball [20:28] carpii: nothing else? [20:28] "sudo aptitude install ntp" ==> 404 [20:28] well i did some compilation, but that was just to /usr/local and i did a make distclean [20:28] hello, has anyone experienced the sound levels jumping on modification in 8.10? (everytime I hit the volume up or down button on keyboard or change it from the panel applet it can jump all over... from top to middle to bottom to mute.. it's very random) [20:28] so i think thats all removed [20:28] Tried to install it first under date/time tool [20:28] hi [20:29] carpii: apt-get remove ? [20:29] how come i have 4gb ram, and 77% are in use with only xchat and gnome do running???? [20:29] carpii: you ran « make install » at some point to install to /usr/local/? [20:29] yes jrib, but then make distclean afterwards to remove it [20:29] wolter: Filesystem cacheing. [20:29] HELLO PEOPLE!!! [20:29] shh [20:29] Grok4242, but 77% in use, not in cache [20:29] WIGGMPk, try View -> Toolbars -> Customize. in the Customize window, go to the Toolbars tab and select the Toolbar drop-down menu, then select either "Icons only" or "Icons and text" [20:29] wolter: If you need the RAM for applications it will be switched from caching the filesystem to your app. [20:29] My name is Borya [20:29] spass i cant apt-get remove since it will remove my kmail packages, rather than the source tarball [20:29] Grok4242, I normally get like 11% or 17%. [20:30] I LOVE YOU! [20:30] Grok4242, it is not cached! it is in use by programs! [20:30] PIDARI! [20:30] VI 4E [20:30] axyeli savsem? [20:30] wolter: run "free -m" in a terminal and read the "cached" value [20:30] !ru [20:30] Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [20:30] nkohh, 576 [20:31] sether: i have tried that before but it didnt work.. however removing these package sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org-gtk openoffice.org-gnome worked, but I cant use my theme (which didnt mix well either) [20:31] shared and buffers? [20:31] carpii: make distclean doesn't remove the stuff you installed to /usr/local/. You're not really doing this properly. If you use apt-get source, then you usually make modifications and then rebuild the deb package and install that. You've circumvented apt by using « make install », so it doesn't know anything about what you have in /usr/local/. It's still there. You'll have to remove it yourself [20:31] sether: thanks though [20:31] =\ [20:31] total 3959, used 3701 [20:31] yf' yf' [20:31] im going to reboot.. this can't be. [20:31] vi axyeli? [20:31] wolter: do a ps aux and look at the fourth column... fourth column is MEM% [20:31] savsem [20:31] or not [20:31] vi napro4' axyeli [20:32] wolter: Yeah, that's out of control for sure. [20:32] jrib, but makedistclean removes the binary files the compilation created, no? [20:32] i cant see anything in /usr/local (it was kmail i was compiling) [20:32] /usr/local/bin [20:32] How can I tell if I've lost everything on my computer or if my partitions still exist? [20:32] So anyone know where I can find a safe mirror to get the ntp package from since the master seems to have walked off? [20:33] johnny5, boot from livecd and try to mount the partitions? [20:33] carpii: carpii I suppose it depends on the makefile, but usually it does not. If there's nothing in /usr/local/ and there used to be, then I guess you are fine [20:33] How do I mount them? [20:33] Johnny5: fdisk -l [20:33] ok thanks jrib. so im ok to just delete the source tarball which apt downloaded. rather than doing apt-get source remove or something [20:33] Johnny5: Or if you're running in GUI mode from the "places" menu [20:33] carpii: yes [20:33] great, thanks [20:34] wolter: So how's the memory? [20:34] How do I get prevu to use my gpg key? [20:34] sether: Scunizi: installing openoffice.org-style-hicontrast package brings back the icons but they look really really ugly (and im still able to use my dark gtk theme) [20:34] how does dpkg determine my architecture? [20:34] Grok4242, now that i rebooted, 11% again :) [20:34] Grok4242, who knows what happened... [20:35] wolter: tried to check which process takes this memory ? top ? [20:35] What is the code pasting ubuntu page again? I'd like to show you the fdisk return. [20:35] i need soem assistance with setting up a bluetooth headset... help.ubuntu.com isn't working for me [20:35] !pastebin >> Johnny5 [20:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about pastebin > [20:35] Johnny5: /topic [20:35] aha [20:36] spass, well, it was banshee, but it only had 64mb taken [20:36] wierd [20:36] Is anyone in here well versed with runing REALVNC with Ubuntu 8.10? [20:36] ...and patient, as I'm completely inept at this stuff [20:37] yeah [20:37] wolter: I should try Banshee...you think it's better than the default Rythmbox? [20:37] hi, when i right click i get a context menu "Create New" in this options you can choose "HTML file". is there a Way to modify this html file template? [20:37] I don't know if I have to set up a static IP or just figure out what one my Ubuntu box has in order to use it [20:37] Thanks. Here is what fdisk says: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d23ee9947 [20:37] How could I detect the version of Ubuntu I'm using? - (gutsy,hardy,etc) [20:37] DSSA: Not with Ubuntu but with VNC in general I am very experienced [20:38] when I go to restricted drivers, it says "none found" normally it'd not say this (I ran the ati restricted drivers and it broke x, so I removed fglrx* and ati/radeon xserver-xorg-video drivers [20:38] I have this libc6: libc6 2.3.6-0ubuntu20 [20:38] cat /etc/*-version [20:38] Grok4242, well, just now I am trying rythmbox because banshee is awesome, but consumes way too much memory [20:38] but in the future I want restricted drivers to function correctly if this is ever fixed...why are they not appearing in there now? [20:38] Grok: I have the Server Edition which I added the desktop to, just need to find the address I need to type into VDC in order to connect it [20:38] i've about had it with stuff not working [20:38] rythmbox is taking half of what banshee did [20:38] wolter: plus, rhythmbox will play stuff from jamendo :) [20:38] Pretty much a noob with any of this stuff, so I apologize [20:38] Grok4242, have you expirienced any odds with rythmbox? its been years since i don't run it [20:38] DSSA: don't apologize... no better way to learn ;) [20:38] robf, i recommend the lastest ATI/AMD driver.... [20:39] well I mean, than asking quesitons [20:39] edoceo: do a cat /etc/issue [20:39] deany: oh no no, I've no problem there ;) [20:39] latest** [20:39] hello. so i finally burned a working ubuntu cd :) now i'm stuck at connecting to my wlan access point. i use a usb wlan adapter from netgear. how can i configure it? [20:39] DSSA: When you startup the server it tells you the port offset. Typically the port is 5901 if you're only running one server [20:39] deany: the issue is that it simply isn't showing anything IN the restricted drivers app now [20:39] still, i`d use that myself... I do. [20:39] deany: I wondered why it wouldn o longer show the ati drivers (even though I'm not going to use them) [20:39] ok [20:39] wolter: Yeah...I can't add any files to my library via either SSH mount or SMB mount. [20:39] I should have four partitions. That looks like it's seeing four things, but I don't know how to get them back working. [20:39] Is the minimal CD installation method supposed to be an officially supported method of installation? [20:39] edoceo: or a cat /etc/lsb-release [20:40] maybe need to do an update or upgrade? [20:40] Yeah, I'm using this as my only server. Just setting this up as a glorified file server for three other (XP) computers [20:40] wolter: Works VERY well with NFS but "Places" doesn't support NFS....probably because it isn't installed. === marcos_ is now known as w525aa [20:40] sry cat /etc/*-release [20:40] DSSA: as a general rule a server should have a fixed ip anyway. if you're going to connect fro behind a router you need to set up port forwarding anyway, that'll be dfficult with a moving IP issud by a dhcp server [20:40] wifi driver for my laptop doesnt appear unitl i do an upgrade.... which is a minus point for ubuntu [20:40] Trying to make it headless, but have to figure out the info for REALVNC [20:40] MoTec: dapper! thx! [20:41] deany: thing is I upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04, ati restricted drivers broke X, so I purged fglrx* / xserver-xorg-video-ati and xserver-xorg-video-radeon did removing these packages cause the items to disapear from the restricted driver applet [20:41] need I simply remerge them? [20:41] er re apt-get them? [20:41] DSSA: just type ifconfig in a terminal and see what IP you got [20:41] DSSA: look into webmin, also. gives you a nice web interface to admin the machine [20:41] k [20:41] you guys know why audio ATI IXP SB4x0 does not work properly on linux? [20:41] Heh, sounds like Gentoo in here. [20:41] DSSA: There are a lot of potential issues. I would first try to ping the server from the client to make sure you can even see it on the network "ping " where you got from running /sbin/ifconfig on the VNC server box [20:41] I try and stay away from upgrading... [20:41] i use the stressfree theme with webmin.. very nice stuff [20:41] deany: understandable, but at this point I'm where I am ;) [20:42] !webmin | MoTec [20:42] MoTec: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [20:42] <[TiZ]> Hi, I found a weird bug, and the reason my notifications weren't working. If I fullscreen an application using --full-screen or compiz's window rules, then notifications won't appear. Does anyone know anything about this? And where would you advise I file this bug? [20:42] Grok4242, well, I just keep a symlink to a ntfs partition with my music [20:42] aw. the AP's are listed, but i can not connect :O anyone? :) [20:42] works awesome [20:42] robf, sometimes, fixin it is more trouble than reinstalling :) [20:42] stefg: thanks for that info! [20:42] Grok4242, you mean nfs like, net filesystem? [20:42] when I run that command it comes up with a lot of different addresses. How can a noob tell which is the one I need? [20:42] DSSA: Then try telneting into the VNC server with "telenet :5901" or if on windows "telnet 5901" [20:42] guys i need help to install libssl, some guide pls? [20:42] !ebox [20:42] ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox [20:42] guys i need help to install libssl, some guide pls? [20:42] Grok4242, does rythmbox organize the songs in directories, like banshee and itunes do? [20:42] guys can anyone point me to a dapper sources.list please [20:43] i tried an upgrade once, it wasnt worth the bother it caused me. [20:43] wolter: Yep. I have an NFS server with 500GB of music and movies that everyone in my house uses. [20:43] Can anyone tell if that output means my partitions are still alive, and how to get them accessable again? [20:43] Grok4242, well, thats pretty nice lol [20:43] !sources | porkpie [20:43] porkpie: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [20:43] wolter: NFS is awsome because if my kid "accidently" turns the server off nothing blows up. Just restart it and the music starts again in 50 seconds. [20:44] wolter: Sorta like musical charis. [20:44] yeah [20:44] ebox doesn't look as shiney as stressfree webmin... but I guess proper operation counts for something :) [20:44] Grok4242, your house looks like a technological one haha [20:44] wolter: It does it by artist: album [20:44] Grok4242, I am experiencing short stalls with rythmbox... [20:45] wolter: Never had that problem and my box IS VERY underpowered. [20:45] wolder: AMD 4 years old running off a USB key [20:45] wolter: Who is a technologist now? [20:45] anyone familiar with wireless networking under ubuntu? [20:46] !tab | Grok4242 [20:46] Grok4242: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [20:46] Grok4242, haha, well I guess me [20:46] Grok4242, how do i get rythmbox to organize my files [20:46] ? [20:46] wolter: Thanks...I don't hit IRC very much and didn't know that [20:47] I am trying to set up a transparent proxy. Did this: sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080 but it doesn't seem to be working.... any suggestions please? Thanks! [20:47] Mmm.. IRSSI :) [20:47] I'm just hanging out until either the NTP package is put back on the Ubuntu servers or I find an alternate link. [20:47] (looks like the routing rule is not added...) [20:48] hey how do you share files betwen computers in ubuntu [20:48] Grok4242, so, how do i? [20:48] ? [20:48] hey guys.. need some help. I want to play alien arena online but i can't coz im behind proxy. U have any idea how to solve this.. [20:48] Brando753: SSH [20:49] SSH? [20:49] !ssh [20:49] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [20:49] can anyone help me with compiling libfprint ? I got the following error http://paste.ubuntu.com/115687/ [20:49] Brando753: Go to places and choose "Connect to a Server" [20:49] Brando753: Samba can do it , Nautilus can do it aswell by configuring samba for you! [20:49] Hi [20:49] Brando753: Then choose SSH and put in the IP address of the other computer [20:49] Brando753: ssh, samba, nfs, ftp... choose what you like [20:50] shwan: That is true but complex compared to the SSH option [20:50] also how do i find the ip addres on ubuntu, i KNow how to in windows but not ubuntu :P [20:50] shwan: Or does ubuntu not run ssh server by default? I haven't run it very long but I can't imagine a Linux box without ssh server [20:50] Anyone? carpii, spass? [20:51] Brando753: ifconfig [20:51] Brando753: I'm sure there is an easier way but I always start a term and use "/sbin/ipconfig" [20:51] hm Johnny? [20:51] Grok4242: I think there is no ssh by default , not sure [20:51] Brando753: ifconfig [20:51] Grok4242, but nah, back to banshee... rythmbox is also using 67mb... [20:51] Did that output from fdisk tell you anything? [20:51] Grok4242, i really recommend it to you [20:51] shawn: I think you might be correct. Or the firewall is blocking localhost [20:51] i dont know, i didnt see it, sorry [20:51] why ifconfig ? so confusing windows is IPconfig [20:51] try putting all your details on one line, the chan moves pretty quickly [20:52] or nopaste it [20:52] Okay, here carpii: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d23ee9947 [20:52] Brando753: because that's the way it is.. it shows InterFace information [20:52] wolter: I will try it....maybe it can work with ssh mounts [20:52] anyone ? [20:52] Grok4242, well, do you have your disk mounted? [20:52] Johnny, to me that looks corrupt im afraid [20:52] sda2 starts on a cylinder which is < sda1 end [20:52] Grok4242, you might as well want to download gnome-do, its awesome. Its way better than any mac or awn dock [20:52] Anything I can do? [20:53] Brando753: if config comes before the windows one! [20:53] windows is confusing [20:53] hrm, maybe some specialised recovery tools, but id say the chances arent great [20:53] Brando753: ifconfig is for interface config and does a lot more than the ipconfig command. I agree it should by symlinked though. I accidently type the wrong one all the time no matter which OS I'm on. [20:53] Darnit [20:53] wolter: I did that today. [20:53] wolter: Haven't used it much yet. [20:54] Johnny5: try 'testdisk'. Maybie it will help. It requres knowledge tho... [20:54] Grok4242, really? do you like it? [20:54] * Johnny5 has no knowledge [20:54] it was ariad [20:54] so i did the ssh link and got "ssh program unexpectedly exited" :( [20:54] hello ? anyone ? [20:54] a raid [20:54] Johnny5: then you're doomed... [20:55] Grok4242: I checked it out now , you need to install openssh-server in order to get ssh in to the box , the client is standard by the way [20:55] wolter: Too soon to tell. I keep forgetting to use it [20:55] pronoy: Get in line. [20:55] i am in line :) [20:55] The line is long. [20:55] Grok4242, oh [20:55] Renfield :) yeah i sorta just realized [20:55] shawn: Then I switch to your idea of setting up samba if he wants to use it long term [20:55] the line starts with whoever writes the clearest question that someone knows the answer to [20:56] :d [20:56] <_VIM_> lol [20:56] spass, testdisk in a terminal says "testdisk: error while loading shared libraries: libntfs.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [20:56] help, when i did the ssh link and got "ssh program unexpectedly exited" :( [20:56] <[biabia]> i installed startip-manager, changed a few settings and saved them, but the window has been running for 2 hours in "performing post configuration tasks". Is it safe to close this window [20:57] Brando753: better install ftp server to share files [20:57] <[biabia]> err startup-manager [20:57] taking a cue from nickrud .....i have installed ubuntu in windows and i am not able to access the rest of the drive in which i have installed it..how do i access the content ? [20:57] Brando753: Did you see my conversation with shwan? [20:57] well how do i use samba? [20:57] pronoy: wubi? [20:57] Brando753: which version of ubuntu do you run ? [20:57] Brando753: way easier than ssh for a newbie [20:57] pronoy: You want to access Windows drive from your Ubuntu install? [20:57] Brando753: You either need to go to Applications->Add Remove Applications and install ssh-server first or look into the samba share route. [20:57] i just want a nice drop folder [20:57] anyone use gufw firewall? [20:57] i have ubuntu 8.10 [20:58] best command to have a live stream start on startup in ubuntu? [20:58] WebcamWonder: yes....the same drive in which ubuntu is installed in [20:58] Stupid ubuntu, the internet still won't work. /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf all look as they should, still nothing. [20:58] is there a way to know what drive belongs to which physical sata port; ie /dev/sdb -> sata port 1 ? [20:58] pronoy: It should be mounted on /host/ [20:58] <[biabia]> chuckc: mount [20:58] Brando753: then all you need is just right click on the folder you want to share and choose share and ... then from the other pc choose network from places menu [20:58] WebcaWonder: why doesn't it show on the side....like why doesn't it show like the rest of the drives [20:58] Safe: I've got a similar problem. I can't get the minimal CD to give me a reliable enough connection for to actually complete the install. [20:59] why do you people ssh mount things? [20:59] WebcamWonder: why doesn't it show on the side....like why doesn't it show like the rest of the drives [20:59] god.. [20:59] what's the best (user-friendly) firewall in ubuntu? [20:59] i know that but my computer wont show up under network >"( [20:59] Ok, I am getting very ticked now...Ever since a kernel upgrade a month or so ago scd0 (My DVD/CD drive) is missing..and I cant fix it..I need answers and I want them now [20:59] pronoy: Oh, that is b/c of the way Wubi does the mounting. The host drive is mounted, and then the ext3 parittion is mounted off the host drive [20:59] Renfield, you [20:59] it seems when I updated to kernel 2.6.27-11 it broke my NIC is there any big security flaws with 2.6.27-7? [20:59] Renfield, you're trying to configure via the network-manager right? Seems to be a bug there. [21:00] bibia: i don't have the drives mounted, not partitioned yet. I have 3 of the same drive, but can't tell which one is failing [21:00] HI - I'm trying to install glew. When I try doing "sudo make" it says "/bin/sh: config/config.guess: not found" - what is wrong? [21:00] WebcamWonder: so the drive in which i have installed ubuntu is taken off the /host/ [21:00] ?? [21:00] wolter: Because SSH server comes default with all other versions of Linux. Trying to install and configure samba is a pain on say Fedora10 compared to just using the existing ssh server. It all works the same once you're connected. [21:00] Safe: No, there's no network-manager that I know of. Well unless it is part of the minimal install. This is all text and no GUI. [21:00] Is there a reason the network folder is so flaky? [21:00] sometimes my laptop appers sometimes it dosent [21:01] pronoy: Yeah. On system startup, one of the first things that is done is, mount your NTFS drive on /host. Then your entire / is mounted from /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk, so basically, /host is guarunteed to be there and mounted all the time your ubuntu is running [21:01] Renfield, oh. I've been trying all day to get this to work, can't understand what the problem would be. [21:01] anyone know how to have a url start @ startup? [21:01] How can i auto connect to my wifi? I'm using ubuntu 8.10 [21:01] Yea, me neither. [21:01] #eurocop [21:01] Safe, Renfield, what is your problem? [21:01] then just use connect to server and use the IP adress , prot. SMB ...so on you need maybe can just point nautilius to this path smb://your-server-ipread or readf https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba [21:01] ciao [21:01] !list [21:01] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [21:02] WebcamWonder: can i do it using a gui like ntfsconf or something [21:02] Safe: DO you have Network Manager installed ? [21:02] pronoy: What do you want to do? [21:02] eut, well, internet just wont start? I've configured everything as it should be. (according to the examples I've googled.) [21:02] eut: I can not get through the installation of Ubuntu. It keeps dieing in various places. [21:02] shwan, no, uninstalled it. === clinton is now known as Blended [21:02] hmm... [21:02] i've got a question anyone willing to help? [21:02] WebcamWonder: to mount it automatically on startup [21:03] !anyone | Blended [21:03] Blended: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [21:03] eut: It took three tries to get through the "install base system" portion. [21:03] pronoy: It is automatically done. If that wasn't done, your ubuntu couldn't have even gone to the loading screen :) [21:03] Grok4242, well, seems nice :p [21:03] Grok4242, I think I'd better try it. Samba is not as good as one hopes [21:03] WebcamWonder: ok so then i'll have to remount it on /host/ [21:03] Can anyone tell me how to enable the 3d cube desktop effect... i've tried all of the tutorials for it and none of them work [21:03] eut: Then it completely, and repeatedly failed on installing the packages. [21:03] pronoy: Wubi sets up all this mounting thing automatically.. You don't need to remount anything. Just goto nautilus and browse to /host, it should be there [21:04] hey how come my network folder only shows some computers some of the time then other computers other times when there all on? [21:04] eut, it's a little tricky for me since I dual-boot, makes it kinda hard to troubleshoot. [21:04] I can ping myself however. [21:04] wolter: SSH is the soul of Linux [21:04] wolter: Or maybe the cardio system at least. [21:04] I'm trying to add a new set of smiley themes to Pidgin. Ive both dragged the tar.gz file into the smiley themes window, as well as pressing the add button and giving it the file-name. Neither method works. I've tried this for many different smiley themes and always the same result. How can I add new smiley themes to Pidgin? [21:04] <[biabia]> chuckc if you dont have them partitioned or mounted what makes you think one of them is failing [21:04] Grok4242, hah [21:04] Thank you! [21:04] Can anyone tell me how to enable the 3d cube desktop effect... i've tried all of the tutorials for it and none of them work [21:04] Renfield, i dont think i can help much. but have you done a disk check to make sure the install disk is not corrupt? other than that i dont know :/ [21:04] eut: I've started over again, and now it is in "loading additional components". It is going very slowly. [21:04] Safe, have you tried "sudo dhclient3"? === Bruce is now known as Brucee [21:05] Antioch: ##pidgin might be more helpful [21:05] No, I have a static IP though. [21:05] Renfield, i noticed this past week that some repos were going very slowly.. may that could have something to do with it [21:05] Blended: What brand video card do you have? Nvidia, ATI, Intel, etc? [21:05] eut: I did not. This is a minimal CD. Is there a way for me to get the MD5 sum for this? I could not find it. [21:05] well had an onboard nvidia but installed an ati radeaon [21:05] WebcamWonder, Ill give it a shot, thanks. [21:05] radeon* [21:06] eut: Oh? Slow enough to time out? [21:06] Brando753: you maybe need to read the samba howto and check nmbd is up and runnig fine [21:06] Renfield, probably not that slow [21:06] I'm trying to remap USB gamepad keys to keyboard keys-- any ideas for what app I should be looking for? [21:06] now does samba have to be on the sending or reciving end? [21:06] hi again [21:06] ktron joy2key [21:06] Blended: I'm out. Really easy on Intel...not bad with Nvidia. ATI should be easier than NVidia but I've never done it. [21:06] WebcamWonder: thanks i'll give it a shot [21:06] why is firefox not upgraded to 3.0.6 in intrepid? [21:07] what do I do if I've forgotten the root password? [21:07] Kryzler: you didn't. The root account is locked. [21:07] Kryzler: you're doomed [21:07] Blended: Don't PM me. [21:07] <[biabia]> Kryzler: the root word in ubuntu is disabled by default unless you enabled it [21:07] Kryzler: ailsafe mode , and then terminal , or command line , passwd root [21:07] etech: FF lets the distributor handle upgrades on Linux systems. [21:07] <[biabia]> root account [21:08] Sorry [21:08] cheers guys [21:08] ok but there are security fixes in fx 3.0.6 [21:08] I'm having major issues installing Ubuntu Server x64 on my pc [21:08] <[biabia]> Kryzler: you can get a root prompt with sudo -s [21:08] So, noone in here who can help a poor soul get his internet (static IP) to work? [21:08] Kryzler: again , reboot and choose safe mode in grub boot , and then terminal , or command line , passwd root or you username [21:09] well can anyone help me get my 3d desktop working? [21:09] benjamin_: Welcome to the club. [21:09] ciao [21:09] Hello, I have a problem compiling gcc in my homedir (and installing in my homedir) on ubuntu. I use a shell script to autmate the task (it first builds binutils, then gcc, then newlib). This works on my debian and gentoo installs, but not on ubuntu. For I don't know what reason, on ubuntu, a write to /var/backups/ is attempted [21:09] [biabia], Kryzler: sudo -i, rather [21:09] help ? :-) [21:09] etech: If Ubuntu hasn't provided an upgrade I don't know why. [21:09] Safe, have you tried manually editing /etc/network/interfaces? [21:09] i keep going through a Debootstrap warning [21:09] eut, yup, that's the only way I've done it. [21:09] why does my laptop show nothing under network but my net book shows everything? [21:09] in intrepid is still firefox 3.0.5 [21:09] Safe, paste your interfaces [21:09] I put together an Ubuntu package for a library that's not in Ubuntu at the moment -- what's the "right place" to store the /debian/ folder, and how do I start the process of getting it into Universe / elsewhere? [21:09] screw it i'll return the stupid adapter [21:09] benjamin_: Are you trying to install actual 64bit version of Ubuntu or just the normal version on a 64bit processor? [21:09] crap wont work [21:09] eut, in a moment. [21:09] <[biabia]> well sudo -i is root with root environment, sudo -s is root with current user environment [21:09] etech, the way ubuntu picks up security fixes is by backporting the fixes to the ff that's provided; the release number doesn't change. you can look at the changelogs in /usr/share/doc/firefox/ [21:09] *sigh* [21:10] 64bit on vista64 via virtualbox [21:10] Renfield, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2008-November/164271.html [21:10] Grok4242:64bit on vista64 via virtualbox [21:10] Brando753: How should we know, I think broadcasting a HostName on the network can take some time , reboot all other pcs while the one sharing to other is on [21:10] benjamin_: If at all possible I would recommend the 32bit version. [21:10] nickrud, but there weren't firefox upgrades since 3.0.6 was released [21:11] benjamin_: Are you planning on giving the virtual machine more than 4GB of memory? [21:11] Brando753: do all pcs have ubuntu installed ? [21:11] Can somebody please explain to me why suddenly scd0 dissapeared? PLEASE! [21:11] benjamin_: Even if you do are you planning on running a single process that needs more than 2GB of memory? === bruenig is now known as steiger_ [21:11] slyyf: I stole it [21:11] !details | slyyf [21:11] slyyf: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [21:11] etech, and I have to backtrack on that, the numbers have been following the security releases for firefox [21:12] slyyf: without giving any additional details, how on earth do you expect someone to answer your question? [21:12] ortsvorsteher: about a month or so ago I updated my kernel, ever since then dvd playback has not worked..today I decided to look into it..and the device itself (scd0) is gone..completly..and dmesg says nothing about a dvd drive. [21:12] <|Z_E_R_O|> ola [21:12] eut: Thanks, but that is not the md5sum that I have. [21:12] Okay, so I reinstalled 8.10 again and this time my wireless isn't working. I'm attempting to use the acerhk (acer hotkeys) dealio... I've tried using the tarball from the authors website but I keep managing to get errors, I've now downloaded the source from synaptic, what do I do from there? [21:12] eut, http://pastebin.com/m576ec9e [21:12] Grok4242: Ill download it now, but what do I do about this version that won't work [21:13] Anyone know how to disable the networkmanager? I dont need it as Im more comfortale with /etc/network/interfaces :) [21:13] slyyf: does it appears in bios ? [21:13] *appear [21:13] spass: yup, and works in windows [21:13] Grok4242: Sorry I got kicked off. Did you respond? [21:13] <|Z_E_R_O|> i need to set fn buttons of my new keyboard, i tried with keytouch-editor but it doesn't want to work, can u help me? [21:13] eut: I believe I downloaded the amd64 version. I think it is odd that the Ubuntu web page strongly suggests that you verify the md5sum, and then doesn't publish it! [21:13] benjamin_: Didn't VirtualBox just add 64bit support? Are you running that version? [21:13] Quick question: How would you access an Ubuntu system as root if the one and only user logon is locked? [21:13] Renfield, yes, very strange indeed... [21:13] Hello all, I am a brand new ubuntu user and everything seems to have installed properly (ver 8.10) my only problem is when I go to get updates it is extraordinarily slow 1-10 kbs. from my other machines I can get 200-800 kbs. Is there anything I can do to get to a faster update site or anything? [21:13] eut, did you get that? http://pastebin.com/m576ec9e [21:13] alaz, i uninstalled it by using synaptic [21:13] MaxRide: try failsafe session [21:13] Stupid internet connection. [21:14] nkei0: there is allways howtos on the ubuntu wiki and google have you done searching for same problem ? [21:14] ortsvorsteher: Thanks! [21:14] Grok4242:yes I believe I am [21:14] Renfield, try asking in #ubuntu-dev, maybe someone there will be able to help with the verification of your image [21:14] you are welcome [21:14] eut: Ok. [21:14] Safe, yes [21:14] sether, im bonking my head allready :D. didnt think of such a easy way... [21:14] shwan: Yeah, I'm looking through them now, I'm still a pretty large n00b and a bunch of the howto's aren't geared for my n00bness [21:14] Safe: do you mean the problem is not Ubuntu but you connection! or ? [21:15] benjamin_: I'd double check that. If so I have not idea. I just know the 32bit will work MUCH better in a lot of respects. Linux is better than Windows with 64bit but the world is just not ready. [21:15] shwan, no, I meant just now that IRC lagged. ;) [21:15] alaz, tell me if it works. there might be some dependency issues [21:15] Ha! same problem. Fails downloading base-packages. [21:15] Safe: well why did you remove networkmanager ? [21:15] Grok4242:I think i have a copy of ubuntu server 32 thanks [21:16] Safe, looks right to me. can you ping your nameserer? 212.217.248.3? [21:16] shwan, because it would reset my netmask to 25 nomatter what I did. [21:16] ortsvorsteher: Worked great! Got back into the system. [21:16] etech, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/326077 [21:16] benjamin_: It will use less memory too since 32bit code is smaller than 64bit [21:16] Grok4242:should I enable passthrough? [21:16] MaxRide: good to read :) [21:16] eut, no, can't ping anything except myself. It doesn't say "no such host" any longer though, so a little progress. [21:16] benjamin_: I always do. Makes it easier to try everything out. [21:16] Grok4242:I think my 8GB can handle it. hahaha [21:16] (had this trouble all day) [21:17] Safe, what about your router? [21:17] Safe, or the gateway [21:17] eut, don't have a router or gateway, it's wired directly to the wall. [21:17] I'm using synergy. I can not change screen with mouse movement from server pc to client pc. But I can change screen client to server. Do you know the problem? [21:18] oh holy crap, my led just isn't working, haha apparently my wireless was on [21:18] Safe, ahh... in that case i would say try to run dhclient3 and see if you can get a dynamic ip at least [21:18] brb [21:18] Lets see if I'm built up enough Karma: Anyone know an alternate source for the ntp package? I get a 404 when trying to install from the time control panel or from the command line.

[21:18] eut, it won't work with a dynamic IP. :D The ISP give us our IP and we punch it in, then it works. (as it does in windows) [21:18] nickrud, ok, but i really do not understand why it must be tested so long...on windows i click check for updates in firefox and it installs 3.0.6 and it works [21:19] hi how do I set the swap partition on intrepid (am I supposed to install s2ram/s2disk or should I add a parameter to grub for the kernel or ... else ? [21:19] Grok4242: So far so good. Thanks for your help!

I have to connect manually in the dialog that pops up. I already have "Connect Automatically" checked off. [21:20] sether, worked nicely. [21:20] I have a desktop, Ubuntu 8.10 [21:20] etchy: You can always install the newer version of FF directly from Mozilla. It's a little quirky but not much [21:20] =) [21:20] hey all. I'm just about to install ubuntu 8.10 server on my VPS. I'm thinking about installing webmin with it. Anyone use webmin? Any pros/cons? [21:20] eut, I've reinstalled ubuntu to a fresh install just to be sure, and I configured it manually, but still won't work. Should I try with a 32bit version maybe? [21:20] <|Z_E_R_O|> nobody can hgelp me with keytouch? [21:21] !webmin | welly [21:21] welly: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [21:21] Safe: an advise Read many howtos you dont need to follow them , but you will learn alot then you can choose one that fits you problem , check this out too [21:21] welly, not an expert but webmin has been out of debian/ubuntu for long . [21:21] ok thanks :) [21:21] is there anything alternative? [21:21] shwan, I have, I've followed a tutorial and examples on each file. [21:21] hi I have a problem with gnome, it has gone totally unstable on me, the fail safe and my normal mode both just go haywire all of sudden, all panels frozen, alt+f2 does nothing, only thing i can do is ctrl+alt+backspace and go into kde [21:21] Does anyone know if you can tell Ubuntu Server to use a particular drive not in the partition. Like a external harddrive [21:21] !ebox | welly [21:21] welly: ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management.

I use a shell script to autmate the task (it first builds binutils, then gcc, then newlib). This works on my debian and gentoo installs, but not on ubuntu. For I don't know what reason, on ubuntu, a write to /var/backups/ is attempted, and those files are writable for root only. On the other distro's the directory isn't e [21:22] Grok4242: That didn't work [21:22] welly: it helps to read the complete statement from ubottu :) [21:22] eut, what if they are? [21:22] benjamin_: Where did it stop this time? [21:23] same place [21:23] my firefox keeps covering over my task bars. I'm running Intrepid. I've tried the fix I found on the ubuntu forum, changing my localstore file, and its still happening. help? [21:23] Is it mandatory to put in network and broadcast? === Error is now known as Error89 [21:23] hi, whenever I log into Ubuntu for the first time after turning on my computer, gnome-settings-daemon fails to launch, so the interface and everything doesn't have any of the ubuntu enhancements. If I log out and log back in, everything is normal. Any ideas on how to fix this? [21:23] heh.. i see. can't be installed on 8.10 [21:23] benjamin_: I'd try it myself but I'm running on a tin can and a few light bulbs for memory right now so I can't. === obsethryl_ is now known as obsethryl [21:23] Safe, you could try shuting them down, from my experience they tend to screw with things. 'sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/2... stop' [21:23] Safe: then it will override you configuration somehow [21:24] Grok4242: Thats fine. I could have made a copy of x64 again [21:24] I wonder if it's worth me installing 8.04 instead then === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [21:24] i'm not running anything clever on my server. just a few php/drupal sites [21:24] <|Z_E_R_O|> danaman5: i think it's a x server problem but i don't know how to fix [21:24] robbe-: you shouldn't need to compile it yourself, there is build-essential [21:24] Uhm, it seems I have two networks card on this computer. Maybe the second one is messing it up? How do I disable eth1? [21:24] Grok4242: Are you running virtualbox?

[21:26] owner: it has but for windows progs you maby have on your pc , not for linux natives [21:26] Grok4242: Do you remember what your "General Settings" were? [21:26] is there a solution? [21:26] IntuitiveNipple: well the fault is that a normal user doesn't have permission in that folder, but I wonder WHY it wants to write something there in the first place [21:26] benjamin_: Sorry...been a while since I looked [21:27] !clam-av [21:27] Sorry, I don't know anything about clam-av [21:27] owner: what do you need exactly so I can answer you [21:27] anyone here have a bluetooth headset?

Thanks for your help [21:27] IntuitiveNipple: so I guess my basic question is: why does this build process differ on an ubuntu install [21:27] on Intrepid, firefox covers taskbars sometimes. . Tried the fix on the ubuntu forum, changing the localstore file, and its still happening. help? [21:27] well, if there are viruses that can effect windows apps..what's the solution? [21:27] @SilentContender are the audio files from the itunes store? [21:27] robbe-: Is the Ubuntu user that owns the builder a member of the "admin" group?

[21:30] sheena1: yes, fusion-icon is good too [21:30] alaz, what's that? [21:31] @silentContender cant help you there, srry [21:31] Thanks, anyways. Can any one else help? [21:31] how can I change the defualt kernel to a older kernel? [21:31] sheena1, if you install that i think you get all the deps for compiz fusion to work [21:31] google it [21:32] sheena1: preferences-- compizconfig -- workarounds and then in that you can disable legacy fullscreen support [21:32] The only thing I can add is iTunes reads their m4a files as ACC and my m4a as m4a [21:32] sheena1, and the icon you when executing fusion-icon lets you configure everything. [21:32] phyburn: you mean in the grub menu? [21:32] yeah I'm sorry [21:32] <[TK]D-Fender> Hello all, light question today : Looking for some links to some good & complete themes to try for Gnome on 8.10. Please share :) [21:32] I'm unsure if itunes works in ubuntu. I use the lastfm client found in the repos, when streaming songs from my lastfm account in the client application on ubuntu there is an option to purchase the song from itunes? [21:32] can somebody send me the output of cat /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.10.jinfo [21:33] shi found it in "system" "preferences" and it opened a window. i don't see anything about workarounds [21:33] @silentContender so your using itunes in wine? [21:33] phyburn: have you looked att grub howto ? [21:33] Chubbz, No I'm dual booting Ubuntu and XP [21:33] Hi, how do I install amarok 2 on ubuntu? [21:33] I'm using synergy. I can not change screen with mouse movement from server pc to client pc. But I can change screen client to server. Do you know the problem? [21:33] phyburn: system/administration/startUpManager [21:33] anyone here familiar with wlan under ubuntu? :-/ [21:33] google [21:33] Hi, I upgraded my kernal and now grub boots to the new kernel. When I boot to the new kernel, when it hits the loading screen it stops at the end. How do I remove the latest installation of the kernel I have? [21:34] mattheas i have that same problem...kind of... [21:34] sheena1: have you started compizconfig ? [21:34] shwan, I found the workaround stuff. there's a bunch of check boxes. which ones to i want checked? [21:34] When I force grub to boot to the older kernel it works fine though. [21:34] mattheas, you can select to use the previous kernel at the grub menu [21:34] yea same here! [21:34] what's the best ubuntu app site? [21:34] exodus_ms, I know [21:34] ugh this is driving me mad :S [21:34] mattheas wht does it say? [21:34] edit menu.lst and set deafult [21:34] www.getdeb.com [21:34] I want to remove the new one [21:34] for the error [21:34] It works fine [21:35] mattheas, you don;t need to remove the new one dude [21:35] shwan, they are mostly already checked, including one that says "firefox menu fix" and a bunch of other ones [21:35] @mattheas do you have a graphics card? [21:35] sheena1: uncheck the first one lgacy fullscreen [21:35] Hey, how can I change Gnome volume OSD pictures? [21:35] Hey does anyone know if the memory test you can run at boot, if it ever ends?? [21:35] My current release is 8.04 and I would like to upgrade to 8.01 using synaptic, but I'm unable to change the selection in Setting -> Preference - general. Can I do a dist-upgrade using synaptic? [21:36] Hi, how do I install amarok 2 on ubuntu 8.10 anyone? [21:36] G-Bleezy, how much ram [21:36] 512mb [21:36] G-Bleezy, not that i know [21:36] it's going on 2.5 hours [21:36] hello [21:36] shwan, is that it? just uncheck it and it should be fixed? [21:36] @G-Bleezy it doesnt stop [21:36] with over 2500 errors [21:36] G-Bleezy, as long as it completes 1 full pass, thats enough [21:36] tiredbones, i have just logged in to 8.04 with a 8.10 cd in the drive, upon login it detected a volume with packafges on and offered to open package manager, perhaps that will work for you [21:36] are the errors really bad??\ [21:36] sheena1: YES i tinhk , it did it for me [21:36] er..that's getdeb.net [21:36] G-Bleezy, i`d think [21:37] shwan, thanks. i'll check it out! [21:37] really... [21:37] and theres no way to fix them problem [21:37] dpkg takes too much time in "Reading database...". is there any wya to speed it up? [21:37] probably except get new ram [21:37] Kamus_H_Zwisch: no [21:37] G-Bleezy: the memory test doesn't stop until you stop it [21:37] @G-Bleezy get new ram [21:37] gmathews, I don't think amarok 2 is available in the repos yet, you will need to find a source to add to your sources.list or find a download somewhere [21:37] Anyone have any suggestions? I'm running a fresh install of 8.10 Server and am trying to install subversion.. When I run apt-get install subversion I get "E: Couldn't find package subversion" .. surely this is simple, but I'm lost... [21:37] zleap, I was hoping not to burn a cd. [21:37] ah [21:37] gmathews: try this. Didn't get a full chance to read it. but might be some help. http://amarok.kde.org/forum/index.php?topic=15866.0 [21:37] whats subversion [21:37] memory isnt something you can fix [21:37] hm [21:37] <_VIM_> !latest | gmathews (and this is why...) [21:37] gmathews (and this is why...): Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea.

Any ideas anyone? [21:43] giu: just google it [21:43] tiredbones: Please look at Flannel (ubottu)'s links then [21:43] k, sorry [21:43] gf was calling [21:43] tiredbones: Those instructions are specific to upgrading. Nothing on that page actually mentions upgrading from version to version. [21:43] so did anyone figure it out? [21:43] hi everyone [21:43] ugliefrog, dont know if this is the version your looking for --> http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=81535 [21:44] Funzo: hi [21:44] guys, could i have some help about rtorrent and how to config it? [21:44] i have some questions :$ [21:44] IntuitiveNipple, Thanks but I think I'll try soundKonverter. It sound pretty simple. [21:44] hi thiebaude [21:44] install gtk2.0 and the other dependecy [21:44] !ask | Funzo [21:44] Funzo: 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. :-) [21:44] I upgraded the kernel and it won't boot. If I use the old kernel it works fine. how do I remove the new kernel or solve the problem [21:44] exodus_ms: thats where i got it from [21:44] any zenity hackers in? [21:45] <[T]ank> also... how can I enable ubuntu to use autorun.inf? I get an error saying "cannot find autorun program" [21:45] !ot | jimdog [21:45] ugliefrog, what about here --> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/x/xvidcap/ there is a version form december 2008? [21:45] exodus_ms: and when i i try to make i get that long message in the paste bin i posted [21:45] jimdog: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [21:45] mattheas: Search for existing bugs on launchpad, and if not found, report as a regression? [21:45] [T]ank: autorun is a M$ idea [21:45] are there any rules for copy paste? if i have a text? [21:45] Flannel, look at the section titled, How to keep your system up-to-date, including the Kernel [21:45] so there's no way to just remove the kernel upgrade [21:45] !pastebin | Funzo [21:45] mattheas: try unintalling from synatptic ie remove [21:45] mattheas: The easiest thing to do is just use default: saved, and then append savedefault to your kernel you want to boot to [21:45] Funzo: 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) [21:45] mattheas, try sudo apt-get install --reinstall [21:45] !autorun [21:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about autorun [21:45] or get grub to boot to an old kernel? [21:46] ugliefrog, try downloading the .deb [21:46] kind of ubuntu related as the folder structure only works in U. But thanks, I'll head there now :-) [21:46] tiredbones: Yes, but you're trying to go from 8.04 to 8.10, correct? [21:46] <[T]ank> spass: yeah but ubuntu attempts to use it [21:46] exodus_ms: I believe the way currently kernel upgrades are handled is making a virtual package depend on the latest kernel. You could always make the working kernel the default boot option [21:46] mattheas, which one broke, -11? [21:46] !who | mattheas [21:46] mattheas: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [21:46] Flannel, that is what is dist-upgrade should do. [21:47] WebcamWonder, ? [21:47] nickrud, I believe so [21:47] mattheas, try sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic first, that may fix it. [21:47] exodus_ms: Oops. Sorry [21:47] WebcamWonder, pass that along to mattheas [21:47] mattheas: I believe the way currently kernel upgrades are handled is making a virtual package depend on the latest kernel. You could always make the working kernel the default boot option [21:47] What does "System Setting" do in NetworkManager? [21:47] tiredbones: No, that's not what a dist-upgrade does. dist-upgrade will bring you up to date while also installing new packages (such as the new kernel), while this command *can* be used to go between versions, it won't by itself. [21:47] What is "System Setting" in Network-Manager? [21:48] this is my rtorrent.rc file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/115783/ , does it look okey? I want it to have unlimited resources and so. is 0 unlimited for the commands? :/ [21:48] WebcamWonder, How do I go about doing that. Maybe I just didn't see it in grub [21:48] tiredbones: Synaptic can upgrade you from 8.04 to 8.10 in the same way you can use apt-get to do so. Really, you ought to be following the instructions on the Upgrade Page that Ubottu gave you. [21:48] i'm using jaunty and since 2-3 days i cannot login to kde4.2 .xsession-errors gives a lot of org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply errors [21:48] ugliefrog, there is a .deb file here, did you try that http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/x/xvidcap/ [21:48] Flannel, thanks [21:48] pzy: #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty support, thanks.

[22:01] yoyit2: you would buy a wireless ethernet bridge -- I'm betting microsoft even sells them specially for the xbox, but any one sold by any networking company would work [22:01] cjae: kewl [22:01] hi guys, is there a way i can either (a) disable reverse lookups in pam or (b) allow reverse lookups for wins?

[22:09] yoyit2: the method you'd be attempting is a bad solution, it's clunky, it's not properly sustainable, it requires the laptop every time, and it's a messy hack -- get a real wireless adapter or wireless ethernet bridge, period, if you want to do it another way, that's your decision, maybe someone else will feel like guiding you through that [22:09] so after I do a dpkg -l > apt.list [22:09] how do I make apt install everything in that list?

[22:12] giovani: no you didnt i dont have 100$ to buy one thats how much they cost [22:12] sambagirl: roundcube is alright -- it's definitely still a beta product, and, has had a number of security problems [22:12] yes i rad that fiovani [22:12] giovani [22:12] sorry [22:12] sambagirl: imp/horde is an old standby, definitely stable [22:12] yes but i was burned on that before [22:12] sambagirl: all depends on your needs -- I use both side-by-side [22:12] 3 times actually.

[22:18] IntuitiveNipple: I assume maybe that there is something missing from my auto generated xorg.conf but I have everything else working, and no onboard graphics (nvidia card) [22:18] cjae: As an experiment, create a new *clean* user account, log-in as that user, and try Earth. If that works at least you'll know it is a user-profile issue. On the other hand, it might prove it is a system issue [22:18] should i use ebox for it? [22:19] LHC, exec fusion-icon from a shell [22:19] sambagirl: it can be quite complex [22:19] !email | sambagirl [22:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about email [22:19] thanks alaz [22:19] Still having trouble using apt-get & aptitude to install subversion.. Getting "E: Couldn't find package subversion." Anyone else have any suggestions?

Tried the fix on the ubuntu forum (changing the localstore file), and tried compiz. help? [22:23] ian[2]: well we're here to support [22:23] but i think i will use zimbra as the alternative. [22:23] they have clients for osx and windows [22:23] ian[2]: edit your /etc/apt/sources list and make sure multiverse and universe repositories are enabled by removing the # sign in the front of the line, and then sudo aptitude update [22:23] does compiz come with themes [22:23] I hate the stock theme [22:23] thanks i forgot all about zimbra [22:23] sambagirl: multiplatform client, try thunderbird [22:24] y doesnt xournal work in intrepid? the exact same version works in debian lenny! [22:24] s3a: dont install debian debs on ubuntu [22:24] KevDog: running that now.. Thanks for the info.. I'm more familiar with yum than apt/aptitude... so this is all new to me.. [22:24] well there are problems with firefox lately the latest update is faulty and i am losing my confidence in the firefox project sorta. [22:24] hello,. i've got a problem i can't install 8.04 when i press to install, the installation program takes me to the shell, i don't wat to work with 8.10.. what can i do? [22:24] ian[2]: edit your /etc/apt/sources.list [22:24] KevDog: Okay -- it's working now... [22:24] ActionParsnip, i installed from repository not from debian (it's the same version) [22:24] I for one use dovecot + (horde/im, roundcube and evolution/kmail/thunderbird) [22:24] ian[2]: Just wanted to clarify [22:25] KevDog: I guess it was the update I needed to run.. The multiverse & universe weren't commented out... [22:25] is there a way to completely clear out existing mdadm raid setups ? [22:25] sambagirl, i've been hearing the same thing from others (even on different OSes) [22:25] glad i didn't update :p [22:25] s3a: then check configs [22:25] and fetchmail/procmail to get all the emails in dovecot as maildirs [22:25] !raid | chuckc [22:25] chuckc: raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [22:25] ian[2]: I wasnt sure what repository it was in, so sorry [22:25] ActionParsnip, o wait i meant xournal works in intrepid but it doesn't write [22:25] KevDog: I'm running this as my sources.list..

[22:26] i second that thiebaude, Chrome is awesome. [22:26] i used it on xp [22:26] ActionParsnip, use gedit to do wat? [22:26] samzies [22:26] KevDog: Thanks.. Is aptitude similar to apt as svn is similar to cvs? [22:26] The_Rebel: try opera, kicks ass outta firefox [22:26] s3a: take notes [22:27] ello,. i've got a problem i can't install 8.04 when i press to install, the installation program takes me to the shell, i don't wat to work with 8.10.. what can i do? [22:27] i agree ActionParsnip [22:27] opera has a lame GUI. [22:27] ian[2]: No, aptitude is a frontend to apt, much like apt-get is a frontend, synaptic is a frontend, etc. [22:27] i like the magic wand feature though [22:27] ActionParsnip, no i rely need a feature of it, tomboy is even better than gedit for notes [22:27] ActionParsnip: i problem was installing flash on opera [22:27] The_Rebel: skin it then [22:27] my [22:27] ian[2]: Yes I think today aptitude and apt-get are virtually the same and interchangeable. I think aptitude handles dependencies better (or at least it used to). I prefer aptitude but perhaps I'm biased from the old days [22:28] if some other browser had the addons i use in FF i might consider them... [22:28] jara04: which cd did you download, the alternate uses a text interface to install [22:28] do i need openfiler with this webmail project? [22:28] MasterMoose, any success ? [22:28] deany: flock? [22:28] nothing can replace my FF + plugins... [22:28] KevDog: Thanks again for the info.. Everything is installed and working now.. If you're ever in Oklahoma City, I owe you a beer! thanks again [22:28] ian[2]: Sometimes however when aptitude isn't working or giving me strange messages, I defer to apt-get and the install works! [22:28] ivancho: thanks but when i try and create a new raid, i get this mdadm: /dev/sdb1 appears to be part of a raid array [22:28] nightrid3r, i downloaded the ubuntu desktop edition 32 bits [22:28] thiebaude: sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/opera/plugins [22:29] thanks [22:29] <_VIM_> That's the only things lacking in Opera,,,, stuff like the Delcious extension [22:29] nightrid3r, what can i do to make the installation through commands?

[22:34] so I do a dpkg --get-selections [22:34] sinmok: what type of ard do you have [22:34] so i get "undefined reference to `dlopen`" errors trying to build some stuff. i'm wondering what package i would need to fix this [22:34] ...then I have the list.. then what do I do to install it all?

[22:39] xenos do you use winetricks [22:39] <|Edgar|> I have ubuntu 8.10. When I installed I don't believe I was asked for a root password. Is there a default root password? [22:39] BlueEagle: just wanted to say thanks for last night, i managed to fix most of my problems, which where obviously more complicated then i imagined... [22:40] |Edgar|: ubuntu does not use a root password [22:40] |Edgar|: by default, you cannot log into the root account directly -- using sudo with your own user's password is recommended [22:40] !root | |Edgar| [22:40] |Edgar|: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [22:40] <|Edgar|> Can I do su at a prompt? [22:40] |Edgar|: use sudo -s [22:40] sinmok: do your satellite speakers work? [22:41] <|Edgar|> Thanks I will try that. [22:41] Yeah, they do. [22:41] |Edgar|: sudo -s gives you a root shell [22:41] sinmok: is it a 5.1 surround system? [22:41] isnt a root shell just as dangerous as logging in as root? [22:41] Erm, I wouldnt know. How can I find out? [22:41] skate2: anything root is dangerous [22:41] skate2: Winetricks? No [22:42] how can i save files of openoffice in .xml? [22:42] Can fetchmail store email passwords in gnome-keyring? [22:42] Which package contains: libfontconfig.so.1? [22:42] skate2: about as dangerous as prefixing everything with sudo [22:42] I have a dual boot, XP and Ubuntu. I have some drives in XP in ntfs and i want to convert them into ext3 to be used in Ubuntu and to let ubuntu mount them automatically after booting. How to do that? [22:42] skate2: "dangerous" is relative -- giving out the root password, rather than controlling who can use sudo and what they can execute with it is clearly more secure === SwirlBoy39_ is now known as SwirlBoy39 [22:43] sinmok: how many satellite speakers do you have?

[22:50] i know i was there before i just couldnt remember how ActionParsnip [22:50] I told the torrent client to download the files on an ntfs drive. Is this the problem??? [22:50] sigh [22:50] Ubuntu only uses swap if you are out of RAM? and doesn't use it for suspending / hibernation? [22:50] ActionParsnip: it wasnt regedit but it was like the same windows as xp [22:50] KVM != "KVM Switch" [22:50] !kvm [22:50] ActionParsnip: i could put numbers to change lets say acceleration [22:50] kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM [22:50] luciel: there's nothing to know or configure [22:50] a kvm switch allows you to use one keyboard, video/monitor, and mouse to control multiple pcs [22:51] prahal no [22:51] Jewbacca: thats in mouse settings, you change mouse accelleration there [22:51] luciel: there's no drivers involved, so nothing relating to the OS [22:51] ActionParsnip: yes but i also had a place where i could enter a number [22:51] sinmok: so your laptop has a built in subwoofer? [22:51] Jewbacca: you arent using windows now so the regedit stuff you know doesnt apply [22:51] lol [22:51] bioshake, it should use it for hibernation (one could use a file but the default is the swap ... though I cannot tell you why if it does not as that s why I came here to ask [22:52] ActionParsnip: someone gave me that option on ubuntu forum and i forgot it [22:52] does anyone here know how to use firestarter [22:52] giovani, I've been trying to diagnose the problem. I have two machines, one of which is dual-booting into Ubuntu 8.10. If I use the monitor and keyboard/mouse plugged directly in, there's no problem. If I use the KVM Switch my monitor remains blank. [22:52] ActionParsnip: so i do have it [22:52] can anybody say the name to the lateral bar?? [22:52] On debian it does for a long time at least but ubuntu have an old uswsusp [22:52] luciel: sounds like the kvm switch is broken -- ubuntu has nothing to do with it [22:52] or something with your video card, and kvm switch combination [22:52] giovani, Well, I considered this, yet the machine is also running Windows - and the KVM works fine then. [22:52] Jewbacca, driconf [22:53] there's no OS involvement [22:53] Clunk: what lateral bar?

As I think it's causing an issue on my system. [23:07] pressman57, accessibility . Have you checked you haave not mistakenly enabled orca or such ? [23:07] Stefano: you'll need to set the DISPLAY environment variable if you want to start applications with cron [23:07] prahal_: how would I check those things? [23:07] balor: log a bug [23:07] Stefano: X applications, i mean [23:07] Thrae -> nothing wrong with having the client to get a static ip, have you configured eth2 to be static too? [23:08] n8tuser: Yes, eth2 192.168.2.1. The client is 192.168.2.2. [23:08] is there such thing as a ipv4 to ipv6 translator? [23:08] Thrae -> and the client is told of a good nameserver to use? route table is okay? [23:08] prahal_, I'm sorry to be so dense but what is orca and where do I find it? [23:08] orca is in your apps [23:09] universal access i think [23:09] racecar56: All IPV4 numbers are IPV6 numbers. They're just the last few enties [23:09] k [23:09] pressman57 -> i believe those are for visually impaired users [23:09] n8tuser: Since bind is running on all interfaces, including eth2, I give the client 192.168.2.1 as its DNS. However, that's not working for that subnet. It works with eth1 (which is 192.168.1.1). [23:10] Hi, can someone help me with sound? [23:10] sinmok: just describe your problem in detail and someone might help [23:10] racecar56, yes, but there are a couple of ways of representing IPv4 Addresses in IPv6 - here is one http://www.subnetonline.com/pages/subnet-calculators/ipv4-to-ipv6-converter.php [23:10] !sound | sinmok [23:10] sinmok: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [23:11] Thrae -> you can test from your client if eth2 is really serving dns test it on port 53 [23:11] Thrae -> if not, check your bind if it does really serve on that eth2 [23:11] n8tuser: netstat -nlp shows it is on the router, and I can do dig @192.168.2.1 www.google.com [23:11] prahal_: how would i check that there is no blacklist for the card and the firmware is loading? [23:11] n8tuser, perhaps, but I really doubt it. One thing might be important....I just had a power-supply fail. I did run a fsck on the disk from another disk and it checked out. [23:11] Yes, alsa is selected. My speakers work fine. The problem is my subwoofer, nothing appears to be coming out of it. The subwoofer and speakers are built into my laptop. My laptop is the Toshiba Qosmio F50. [23:12] how can i create an asx playlist? [23:12] pressman57 -> what is the issue? i have not followed your convo yet [23:12] does oss sound work on ubuntu with virtualbox [23:12] I have several pdf files with filenames that are just numbers. I'd like to mass rename so they get their filename from the original filename PLUS the title that shows up when you open it in evince. any ideas? [23:12] Thrae -> you do your dig from the router or from the client? [23:13] n8tuser: Client is Windows, and nslookup doesn't work [23:13] badfish69: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/howto/articles/ad.aspx [23:13] Pyles17, grep /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist* [23:13] Hi all! [23:13] badfish69: looks like some form of html to me, with [23:13] <_16aR_> Hello [23:14] Thrae -> get another client or check the tcpip settings of your windows [23:14] Pyles17, and grep /var/log/kernel.log for firmware issues [23:14] <_16aR_> I've forgotten it, but do you know the tool to scan the port on a machine ? [23:14] _16aR_: nmap [23:14] <_16aR_> yeahhh [23:14] n8tuser: I also had the same problem on another Windows computer. [23:14] <_16aR_> thank you !! [23:14] badfish69: http://www.jeroenwijering.com/upload/asx.xml [23:14] slipst, does every file have a different title? [23:14] thank u so much. Why I should use crontab -e instead of vim directly? [23:14] ActionParsnip: thanks but the way it is configured in ubuntu seems to be some rather wierd wrapper script which parses a directory containing the options and is basically completely abstracted from all of that [23:14] badfish69: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=875760 [23:14] Thrae -> you can ping okay from those clients to 192.168.2.1 ? [23:14] goodbye and hoping everyone who gots problems will get them solved, i gotta go [23:15] bye [23:15] hey all, just finished installing ubuntu 8.10 server on my vps. I remember seeing a post-installation document somewhere. how to lock down the server a little. i don't supposed anyone knows of one? [23:15] n8tuser: Yes, as well as to any IP on the internet [23:15] unop, yes. I also have a list of the names but I don't know if it's in the same order. [23:15] Stefano, crontab -e just opens up the file in your editor -- and that could be vim [23:15] welly: http://suigintou.desudesudesu.org/4scrape/img/190519.jpg [23:15] Thrae id check you windows tcpip properties [23:15] I have a radeon 7000 how do I enable dual screen monitors? so that they don't mirror each other? [23:15] pressman57, orca is for visually impaired people . You could do ps ax |grep orca to see if it is enabled [23:16] cheers fogobogo! :-/ [23:16] Stefano: EDITOR=nano && crontab -e [23:16] unop, I've tried with the line: * * * * * stefano /usr/bin/firefox but it doesn't start :-( [23:16] or whatever editor you want to use. [23:16] slipst, well, from what you're saying now - you just want to add the title to the filename [23:16] Thrae -> you're not running any kind of firewalling in your router are you? [23:16] unop, I was going to use pyrenamer but when I loaded filenames from text file it removes the original filename completely. so the easiest solution I can come up with is to manually check so that every original filename (numbers) matches the title of the document. kind of a PITA with several thousand documents. [23:16] unop, yeah [23:16] n8tuser: It's also happening on my DD-WRT router too. Like I said, the TCP/IP settings are IP: 192.168.2.2, Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway: 192.168.2.1, DNS: 192.168.2.1 [23:17] Stefano, right, that's because like prince_jammys said sometime ago -- you need to set the DISPLAY variable for GUI apps to work from cron [23:17] n8tuser: Yes I am, but it's not rejecting the packets [23:17] Thrae -> where is this DD-WRT coming into the picture? do you have another linux box you can use as a client? [23:17] slipst, have a look at extract .. it can look for metadata in files and may pull up something if your files have the titles in the tags [23:17] welly: my pleasure. [23:18] unop, thanks for the tip [23:18] Thrae -> i suspect its your firewalling, combed through it and/or use logs of packets getting rejected on eth2 [23:18] fogobogo: I'm not sure what your point is though [23:18] !info extract [23:18] extract (source: libextractor): displays meta-data from files of arbitrary type. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.20b-1ubuntu1 (intrepid), package size 57 kB, installed size 256 kB [23:18] is it possible to clear icon browser dropdowns, like in alacarte to choose an icon for the menu entry [23:18] pressman57, this was just an issue that would have been able to explain most of what you describe (if buggy on your version of the distrib) [23:18] I am having a very serious and wierd problem: the file /etc/resolv.conf cannot be accessed or removed, giving the error message "Stale NFS file handle". Because of this, I have no DNS capability. How do I fix this? Why would /etc/resolv.conf even be on a networked file system? [23:18] Anyone know what the local format of Quicktime is, need to transcode for [23:19] gorgapor: http://suigintou.desudesudesu.org/4scrape/img/190519.jpg [23:19] gorgapor -> without resolv.conf you can not resolve names to ip address [23:19] n8tuser, yes, i am aware that i can't resolve names, and it's very annoying :) [23:20] is it possible to clear icon browser dropdowns, like in alacarte to choose an icon for the menu entry [23:20] fogobogo, you are not helping [23:20] gorgapor -> cant you relate? network file system -- to resolve those network addresses you require resolv.conf [23:20] hey ubuntu people :) [23:21] so far .. so nice .. only one problem in firefox .. anyone here uses html validator addon for firefox ? :| [23:21] is there any remote program for ubuntu such as tight vnc, vnc, radmin, or teamviewer? [23:21] anybody use pureftpd in ubuntu? === Bruceee is now known as Bruce [23:21] gordonjcp -> have an entry in your /etc/hosts file is you wish, am assuming not many nfs servers you need to resolved [23:21] n8tuser: Yeah, no packets getting rejected [23:21] gorgapor, sudo lsof -i may help find out if someone has mounted your / as nfs share [23:21] Brucee: Yep, vnc works [23:21] n8tuser, Really strange behavior in gnome. The panel has twice jumped to the top of the screen and become unresponsive. After a reboot it remained unresponsive. I've used the failsafe xorg.conf to no avail and then on a subsequent [23:21] or can recommend an ftp with non retarded setup [23:21] Brucee: I use x11vnc - probably outdated by now, heh [23:21] BBishop: try firebug [23:22] n8tuser: Yeah, no packets getting rejected, which is the weird part. [23:22] MoTec i want it to run on cross platforms [23:22] hi [23:22] gorgapor, or exportfs to see if your system does not export it by mistake [23:22] Hi, has anyone noticed that the ngircd package in Ubuntu's repository is out of date? [23:22] xp, with ubuntu [23:22] you can use any vnc viewer to connect to x11vnc [23:22] Hi, I am running 8.1, i have updated my system from now and then and now i see three kernel versions on the grub bootup screen.. How can I remove the ones i dont want from both the fiule system ? I know how to remove grub entries . [23:22] Thrae -> thats odd, is it getting in through your firewall, all the nslookup request from your client? [23:22] prince_jammys, doesn't firebug bug google mail ? [23:22] prahal_, one second, i'll check that out [23:22] is it possible to clear icon browser dropdowns, like in alacarte to choose an icon for the menu entry >by the way pm me if you know, i can't see irc messages as good if they are grouped with others so PM ME if you know how < [23:22] pressman57 -> i got sidetracked, what was the issue we're trying to resolved? [23:22] BBishop: beats me [23:23] tomvolek_, remove the kernels via synaptic/aptitude [23:23] grub will find them and add them back in the list [23:23] otherwise [23:23] prahal, i am on synaptic now, what would i look for ? [23:23] by the way i do ubuntu 8.10 and only ubuntu 8.10... :> [23:23] ok, thanks MoTec [23:23] BBishop: it's installable through apt [23:23] tomvolek_, linux-image-* [23:23] it's good to have a OS that's pwnage [23:23] :> [23:23] prince_jammys, well .. does it have the standard validation abilities ? [23:23] buggy behavior on gnome system-wide (I tried logging in as another user). [23:23] of the pages I visit .. [23:24] ubuntu is my favorite OS [23:24] tomvolek_: /boot/grub/menu.lst and delete the vmlinuz file from wherever you've got the binaries stashed...usually /boot [23:24] BBishop: yes. check it out. you can turn it on and off, too. sudo apt-get install firebug [23:24] ubuntu is my only OS [23:24] racecar56: i love gentoo [23:24] prahal_ just unmark the one i dont want ? is that safe to do ? [23:24] cool [23:24] prahal_, i don't even have exportfs installed, there is no nfs set up on my system [23:24] snopp [23:24] I still don't get why ubuntu doesn't use the normal firefox trunk ... [23:24] tomvolek_, yes . It will bark at you if you try to remove them all [23:25] i tried gentoo once but it took too long to install so i gave up [23:25] will the ngircd package in the repos ever be updated? I think the repo has 0.10 something and 0.13 is out, and supports SSL/stuff [23:25] Is there an ¨official¨ way to update Vuze to the V4? [23:25] i like ubuntu the best and i like freebsd the second best because of its ports [23:25] piegod: you will most likely have to download the sources and compile it yoruself [23:25] *yourself [23:25] although ubuntu is easier [23:25] racecar56: you can achieve similar to emerge with apt-build but apt doesnt keep up with them, sucks [23:25] k [23:25] lstarnes: I know, I had to, I just wanted to know if they will ever update the repository [23:25] prince_jammys, damn this is too complex .. I want html validator .. it was easy .. [23:26] !info ngircd jaunty | piegod [23:26] ngircd (source: ngircd): Next generation IRC Server. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.12.1-2 (jaunty), package size 88 kB, installed size 264 kB [23:26] hmm, 0.12 :/ [23:26] wait! [23:26] jaunty [23:26] BBishop: that integrates with firefox, or is stand-alone? [23:26] gorgapor, ok so the only reason I see is not that your / is exported but that at least /etc was from another nfs export (from another box ... I ll look after how to get rid of stale files (don't know yet [23:26] i like ubuntu better because freebsd isn't so 'working out the box' but its still fun to fool with, for me at least [23:26] prahal_: neither one of those gave any output, but i looked through /var/log/kern.log and found this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/115802/ [23:26] I think my server is still 8.04 or maybe 8.10 [23:26] piegod: Jaunty is already frozen, but if you file a sync request, you can get a newer versio in 9.10 [23:26] piegod: lsb_release -a | grep Code [23:27] ActionParsnip: Or lsb_release -c ;) === toga30 is now known as ToGa [23:27] by the way i ordered an external CD-RW drive for my server so i can wipe the win and install the lin (kill windows, install Linux) [23:27] :) [23:27] prince_jammys, integrates ... but it uses some tidy libs and stuff [23:27] Flannel: nice, thanks :D [23:27] i don't even know how to use windows server [23:27] BBishop: firebug is probably the most popular one for firefox. a command-line alternative is 'tidy' [23:27] buzzing through the forums say it's ubuntu's fault for bubling up firefox with other stuff [23:27] ive been using firefox scince 2005 [23:28] Flannel: ah, 0.12 should be fine (methinks) - so that's all good to know (0.10 doesn't do SSL support :|) - will the package be configured with ssl support? [23:28] well I don't want the command-line one .. nor do I want firebug .. too complex .. [23:28] and im anti-ie [23:28] Whenever I type a ¨ it makes me hit the key twice. If i hit ¨ and then another character it provides an different char, how cna I turn this off (IE ä ë ḧ ï ö ...) [23:28] i don't agree BBishop [23:28] woot for OSS [23:28] prince_jammys, you try using html validator and you'll see what I'm talking about. [23:28] racecar56: i used firebird back in the day [23:28] (open source software, not the sound system) [23:28] piegod: I don't know. You'll want to talk to the Universe people, in #ubuntu-motu [23:28] cool [23:28] Flannel: I think by default ssl is off, has to be configured compile-time [23:28] ok [23:28] my first comp was from 2003 [23:28] or 2002 [23:28] slide: You need to change your keyboard layout to something without deadkeys [23:29] idk it might even be 2004 [23:29] Hello again.

Some people use knives for cooking, some for murder. :) [23:48] i don't have any host names named localhost [23:48] mrpockets: localhost = the machine you're on [23:49] 127.0.0.1 [23:49] isase, that password doesn't work [23:49] guyyys i need help installing libssh pls, when i am writing make it gives errors pls help [23:49] Luuuks: what errors? [23:49] Shrinking a partition doesnt delete any data from it right? [23:49] luuux: what errors? [23:49] ScottG: no [23:49] !info libssh [23:49] hey guys. Which filesystem is best for a low-cpu system? [23:49] Package libssh does not exist in intrepid [23:49] How do I file a sync request? [23:49] Pyles17, I found out the iwl driver is new in that the regulatory is no more in a daemon but in the firmware http://www.linux-archive.org/fedora-development/78476-iwl3945-driver-channel-capability.html but .... there is a thing about config80211 [23:49] ScottG: but a backup is a good idea [23:49] isase, PM lstarnes, PM [23:49] and low memory as well... [23:49] ScottG: you do run the risk of data loss, but it's a pretty small chance. the operation itself doesn't delete any data [23:49] Luuuks: please keep it in the channel if possible [23:50] Luuux: you probably need to install ssh-dev package [23:50] Pyles17, which region are you in ? US/JP or else ? [23:50] prahal_: us [23:50] Evening All [23:50] isase: I dont really have anywhere do back the data up to :/ [23:50] ScottG: then you run the risk of losing it - small risk, but it's there [23:51] ScottG: the partition resize operation itself doesn'tr erase data, though === rj_x is now known as rj_x|away [23:52] Luuux: the package is called libssh-2 [23:52] nightrid3r, did it will work for THC-Hydra? i need libssh for that.. [23:52] Luuux: sudo apt-get install libssh-2 [23:52] Is this the best place for new converts from Windoze to Linux (Ubuntu 8.10)? [23:52] Is there an ¨official¨ way to update Vuze to the v4? [23:53] Luuux: and look apt-cache search libssh which one you needed/want [23:53] Dartel, Welcome. Yes. [23:53] Dartel: yes [23:53] gtg [23:53] What filesystem is best for older systems? I want to make a home server with a box that's running an 800mhz AMD Athlon with 128 mb ram [23:53] Dartel, i just switched yesterday and im here :) [23:53] Luuux: make is for compiling if it error's like that install the dev package, in this case for ssh [23:53] mib_w2re6368, ext3 is fine. [23:53] blizzle: Is there something that'll tax the hardware less than ext3? [23:54] mib_w2re6368, ext3 won't tax the hardware hard. It's fine. [23:54] Luuux: installing a *-dev package will also install the lib if not already there [23:54] mib_w2re6368: ext3 without journal or ext2 [23:54] Hi there. My laptop is crashing, Id like to discover the reason. What to do? Usually crashes when nobody uses... [23:54] S4nD3r: looking at the logs first is a good idea [23:54] okay thanks guys. does xfs still have reliability issues? [23:54] S4nD3r, : probably over heats [23:55] mib_w2re6368, And journalling is something you're better with that without. Not worth sacrificing for nominal performance gains. [23:55] S4nD3r: prob has to do with hybernation which is still problematic under linux [23:55] *than [23:55] This system is 256 meg ram and 500Mhz Intel cpu with a whopping 6 gig hard drive [23:55] ummm... [23:55] which log file register crashes? [23:55] Dartel: wow big iron :) [23:55] And Xchat is my first succesful software install [23:56] heh, this is a virtual machine, running on a host with an intel atom processor and 1gb of RAM :) [23:56] Ok you win Motec [23:56] MoTec: masochism much? [23:56] :P [23:56] How can i install boot code to the MBR of a usb drive, the 'Create a USB startup disk' tool in 8.10 is copying the files but not replacing the windows boot code in the MBR on the drive [23:56] mib_w2re6368: don't even consider xfs without a really good UPS and several backups [23:56] Dartel, Xubuntu is your best bet. [23:56] hehe, all i use is CLI stuff, so it's okay :) [23:57] i want to have a osx menu in gnome [23:57] Better than Gnome? or easier? [23:57] gnome rocks [23:57] xubuntu works better with lower powered systems [23:57] Dartel, On your system, much better performance, as well as being easier to tweak. [23:57] i just installed Xubuntu on my Dell Inspiron 8500 and love it... [23:58] I was already severyly impressed today when I hovered the mouse over a music file and it started playing [23:58] xubuntu runs fine on a PII with 128MB ram and 3.2GB HD [23:58] Dartel, To the unitiated, there's little difference between Gnome and a default Xfce setup. [23:58] i put xubuntu on my dell mini-9 it works great.. Had to go back to windows for work, tho.. And I can't get the laptop to boot off of it's sd card :( [23:58] probably screensaver [23:59] my gnome start with 60 megs [23:59] Just crashes when computer becomes idle [23:59] Can Gnome's desktop icon text be reduced so everything lines up? [23:59] But I downloaded Google earth it is a .bin file no clue how to install, and wonder can it be installed and ran from thum drive? [23:59] Dartel, chmod +x and then run it. [23:59] ./program.bin
