[00:00] ok, I am trying to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 - my sources.list has all lines crosses out except the "deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty main restricted universe multiverse" line (and the same for feisty-updates and feisty-security)... now I get the message "no valid mirror found" when I try to upgrade, and it asks me if I want to rewrite my source.list file anyway [00:00] should I do this? [00:00] hou5ton: It is a program that you want. If you already have it, you can type it in a terminal to run the program [00:00] Once you want it to actually make changes, put sudo in front of it [00:00] Wizzup: ok .. i have that up ... just not sure what to do with it. [00:00] hou5ton: Check the second top option menu [00:01] It should contain two displays, with one disabled. Enable it === AlbertoP_ is now known as AlbertoP [00:01] (and write to Xorg.conf) [00:02] Wizzup: h ... hey ... ok .. and it says I would need to reboot ... but that looks like what I've been looking for ... I was so close [00:02] Wizzup: thanks [00:02] hou5ton: Not reboot, just log off [00:02] That will restart X as well [00:03] My monitor keeps defaulting to 75 Hz, even though it's an LCD. I can change it back to 60 Hz in the ATI control center, but the setting reverts to 75 Hz when I restart X. How can I fix this? I'm using a VGA cable, if that matters. [00:03] hou5ton: make sure you sudo'ed it and made it write to the xorg.conf file [00:04] It also creates a backup if so that you can revert if things get messy [00:04] Wizzup: I want it to be an extension of my main screen ... so I checked the Seperate X Screen. Is that correctn? [00:04] Nope [00:04] Wizzup: or should it be Twinview? [00:04] Use TwinView [00:04] http://www.SupportMichaelPhelps.com/ [00:05] Wizzup: ok ... and one more thing ... it's on the wrong side. [00:05] (Seperate X Screen didn't even work on my setup) [00:05] Does anyone know anything about using mathcad on Ubuntu? [00:05] hou5ton: I think ehm [00:05] There was this option for setting the position [00:05] You can set it relatively to a monitor [00:05] Wizzup: ah ... found it [00:05] Either in pixels or just 'left' [00:06] Lol, this is all out of my memory though, don't have any X near atm... Just a Gentoo without X. [00:07] Which distro is best to run as a ssh backup server and a music server [00:07] hyperbuddha: depends on your hardware [00:07] How do I view gb2312 encoded websites?? I guess I need the font? [00:08] Im thinking about either running on an olpc or a macbook [00:08] I really like Ubuntu because it is fairly easy to set up and such. If you have lots of experience you might want to choose one which comes with nearly no apps at all [00:08] macbook as server? hmm [00:08] easy to set up sure... upgrade, heck no :-p [00:08] <^hashbang^> nDevastator: Wizzup: Olpc as a server? [00:08] Wizzup: not really, there's some experienced people that like Ubuntu.. I used it to basically jumpstart me into Debian. [00:09] hyperbuddha, i'm gonna use a mini-itx for a server, with ubuntu server (headless setup) [00:09] indeed but I have one lying around so im gonna load it up with external hd [00:09] ^hashbang^: I am afraid I don't even know what Olpc is [00:09] i wouldn't use a laptop/notebook as a server (always-on), though... they're bad for heat dissipation [00:09] Wizzup: you are THE MAN [00:09] IndyGunFreak: I see... Well, I really liked Ubuntu because it was my first Distro to work properly. When I tried it at my laptop I found the performance quite slow though [00:09] (olpc == xo project laptop -- for kids... one laptop per child) [00:09] <^hashbang^> one laptop per child [00:10] hou5ton: glad to help [00:10] Wizzup: strange.. it runs quiet well on my 2 laptops, and an AAO i have... 1 laptop is newer (1.8ghz), one is quite old(900mhz) [00:10] ok thanx guys ill take a look at barebones machines and craigslist [00:11] IndyGunFreak: Hmm, my laptop was quite old, with a 1,5 Ghz celeron. I was mainly referring to movies not playing _too_ well [00:12] Wizzup: weird.. like i said, my laptop is a 1.8ghz celeron, and it plays movies find... [00:12] *fine [00:12] Oh. Using mplayer as well? [00:12] Wizzup: no.. vlc [00:13] Hmm... VLC got me like 2fps [00:13] right -- i have totem installed by default; i used to enjoy mplayer on xp before ubuntu; should i go for mplayer in favour of totem? (i will eventually want to use hardware accel on my radeon hd2600) [00:14] <_dbd_l12> bernz: mplayer > totem [00:14] Wizzup: are you using intrepid? [00:14] bergman, Try Exaile. [00:14] bernz, rather.. Exaile.. [00:14] _dbd_l12, okay, is it just a simple "install mplayer and reassociate default file type handlers" type deal? [00:14] Ubuntu is still awesome though - just not fully optimized for my own system, if you get what I mean. (Like Gentoo, everything needs to be compiled, but it will be optimized for your system) [00:14] IndyGunFreak: Yes, using II [00:15] _dbd_l12, or should i do some "research" first? [00:15] hmm [00:15] can a regular distro of ubentu act as an afp and music server or does it have to be ubuntu server [00:15] hyperbuddha: a desktop can act as a server [00:15] server rizon [00:15] blizzle, oh yeah? i will check that out... thanks [00:15] bernz, Exaile (Gnome/Gtk) or Amarok (KDE/QT) for audio files/mp3s. [00:15] cool thanks [00:15] In fact, I have a desktop functioning as a server at home. Ubuntu desktop with PHP, MySQL, Apache etc [00:16] (Not a big load server so it's not a big deal) [00:16] hyperbuddha, ubuntu server and ubuntu desktop are really mostly the same, but just different configurations (different included apps, default settings, etc) === chaky_ is now known as chaky [00:16] <_dbd_l12> bernz: yes, "sudo apt-get install mplayer" will do fine. you'll just want to download the codecs packages (from the mplayerhq website) and unzip them in the correct folder (it's in the faq probably at ubuntuguide.org [00:16] <_dbd_l12> bernz: if you need non-free codecs (wmv, quicktime) etc. [00:16] Anyway, this channel is quite a distraction and I need to go to bed. Bye all (Good luck.) [00:16] hyperbuddha, server is optimized for network and disk activity, and has minimal "friendly" stuff (e.g. GUI) [00:16] thanks you guys rock [00:16] My sound is stuck in an endless loop. Anyone know a quick way to fix it w/o rebooting? [00:17] _dbd_l12, great, sounds simple enough, thanks [00:17] daftfad: turn off the speakers [00:17] sleep well, Wizzup [00:18] It's the result of a flash audio streamer in firefox hanging. [00:18] I'm trying to get an audio disk to use a specified mount point through the GUI on intrepid. It doesn't seem to want to cooperate. What am I doing wrong?

[00:26] !lol > bernz [00:26] bernz, please see my private message [00:26] Not sur [00:26] sure* [00:26] Just read an article online about how Desktop environments have built in launchers which get around permissions, which allow downloaded programs to be run easily and this can easily facilitate a Gnome/KDE virus. Obviously, common sense is always the best defense, but i'm wondering if there is a way to change to anything about it beyond junking the desktop-environment? [00:27] redvamp128: link does not work [00:27] vock: they can only get around permissions if they are set up by the super user [00:27] disabled all FF add-ons. ubuntu start page. 1 window. no tabs. FF process memory=VIRT=118m RES=38m SHR=19m. doesn't that seem high? [00:28] vock: that is kind of like with windows Uac and setting a program to run with Admin Privilages. [00:28] bartek_: that was a google link -- The original page was in spanish-- so you may want to goto the spanish page and then copy that link over to google translate [00:29] redvamp128, from what the article was saying, a launcher can run scripts without super-user privileges [00:29] bartek_: this is the spanish link Configurar sonido 5.1 en Ubuntu Hardy [00:29] trippss, do you have a lot of tabs open? i often got 150MB sessions of firefox process on xp (and memory is memory, so it's not crazy for linux version to have similar usage) -- i'm talking about 60+ tabs here [00:29] vock: please link to the article-- [00:30] bernz, no tabs. fresh start. ubuntu start page [00:30] redvamp128, http://www.geekzone.co.nz/foobar/6229 [00:30] tripps, that's not bad compared to mine :) 4503 unop 20 0 191m 93m 21m S 0.3 12.3 5:08.56 firefox-bin [00:30] estaban: fixed. killall -9 pulseaudio ;] [00:30] bernz, like I said before on here I had 700MB (!!!) usage by FF with 2 tabs open!!! [00:30] Can someone recommend a good shell-based bittorrent client? [00:30] tripps, firefox is a hog - has always been [00:31] ian[1], rtorrent [00:31] unop, thanks! [00:31] i setup my desktop to use two monitors, but now i'mb ack to using one monitor, and now my desktop effects are disabled, and now it also says it's unable to enable the desktop effects. what changed? [00:31] like, windows display slow...you can easily watch them draw down the screen.. [00:32] unop, i thought compared to everything else out there FF had the lightest footprint. Is there something better? [00:32] vock, it's best to just learn about general security, and then fix your system bit by bit as you learn; for instance, when you attach a new volume, you probably get a pop-up of the file browser, showing that volume's contents... well, how did it do that? it's not hard to discover and dig down until you see the path, and then you can understand the security risks (weak points on the path)... so you disable "weak" stuff or remove it, and things get better and [00:32] better ;-) [00:32] mv: inter-device move failed: `images/' to `/var/openx/images'; unable to remove target: Is a directory (from ext3 => xfs) ... is this not allowed or somethign? [00:32] (by "path", i mean the chain of events that led from the hardware detecting a change in signal wires all the way down to the kernel, and back up to the GUI) [00:33] any way I can list the recognized usb ports on my laptop? ubuntu 8.10. [00:33] how to install this patch http://code.google.com/p/raqm/source/browse/trunk/patches/wine_libicu_bidi_arabic-shaping.patch ? [00:33] bernz, now you're acutally making me do work instead of getting someone to magic all my problems away :( [00:33] redvamp128: now it opens [00:33] (in windows, this is EXTREMELY difficult, but with Linux, you have searchable, nice source code) [00:33] i'll be right back [00:33] how do i mount my ntfs harddrive when running ubuntu in wubi [00:33] vock, yeah, sorry, linux is still pretty "young" [00:33] vock: after reading this-- First the person has to save to the desktop-- then change permissions in order to run the program.(script) [00:34] hi guys, is ubuntu setup to automatically initialise lvm partitions? [00:34] hi, i want to resize my home partition, what should i do? [00:34] vock, in general, most malware requires at least one step of user "complicity" (i.e. you "help" it get past a hurdle, but e.g. getting spoofed into typing your root password into a fake login box, unlock dialog, etc) [00:34] vock, firefox has always been heavy (the heaviest even?) -- but for that price you pay you get a lot -- it's quite a versatile browser supporting a _lot_ of features - you'd expect it to have a big footprint [00:34] wolter: get the gparted live cd [00:35] redvamp128, doesn't double clicking run the script, i don't think i've ever had to enter super user to do that [00:35] I know i have to logout to stop using the mountpoint, but which home will the system use? will it be automatic? [00:35] vock: no all attachments downloaded are not set to exe by default [00:35] vock, and this complicity is often achieved through social engineering (someone gets you to feel guilted into helping them do something borderline, or you are tricked outright by lack of info) [00:35] vock, there are plenty of 'light' browsers - galeon, ephiphany, opera, etc - but i still prefer firefox [00:35] or, if i could login as root... that would be awesome for i will be using /root instead of home... is that possible? [00:36] wolter, step 1: BACKUP [00:36] bernz, redvamp128, so as always it's not a big concern to worry about as long as you know where/what you're downloading? [00:36] vock: actually a .sh by default if you click you will be prompted with possibilities- run - display - run with terminal or exit. [00:36] bernz, ok [00:36] wolter, step 2: check to see if you cheated and skipped step 1 ;-) [00:36] redvamp128, right [00:36] wolter, after that, gparted is your friend [00:36] ('sudo apt-get install gparted' should work) === chaky_ is now known as chaky [00:36] vock: so if you downloaded what you thought was picture or zip file - should either start default pictureviewer or archiver. [00:37] bernz, but i have to remove home from fstab, don't it? [00:37] i*? === aaditya is now known as dragon_ [00:37] bartek_: you may want to copy that link over to google translate [00:37] wolter, if you are stepping on the partitions you need to adjust, you should get a bootable "live CD" with gparted on it [00:38] oh, thats a better way to do it.. [00:38] bernz, thanks [00:38] for stopping me from being stupid [00:38] wolter, then read the gparted basic help/faq, make sure you understand partitioning in general (it's not too hard, i can explain in detail via PM if you like), and boot into live CD, adjust, reboot from HD [00:38] redvamp128, so all i really need to worry about are .sh files, and if i learn a bit about bash scripting, it should be fairly easy to figure out if what i downloaded is doing what it's supposed to? Nothing to worry about viruses embedded in other types of files. It really is just a script that could run another script? [00:38] bernz, don't worry, i do. [00:38] wolter, yeah, if you find yourself "having to" go root for some reason, you're probably heading in the wrong direction ;-) [00:38] vock: Can we please move this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic as it is not a support request. [00:39] bernz, yeah [00:39] Pici: sorry, thought it fit under the category, that's was my last question [00:39] vock: unless you are installing something like winetricks (which is highly known ) for wine installs or a patch- you should always display something first before running or run with terminal [00:39] does anybody know if broadcom cards work with kismet? [00:39] hi i installed virtualbox on ubuntu, upgraded the kernel and now it doesnt work. Do I have to install/reinstall everytime i upgrade the kernel? [00:39] specifically bcm4312? [00:40] windio00: it should have given you a command to run to fix that. [00:40] windio00: How did you instlal virtualbox? How did you upgrade the kernel? [00:40] wolter, cool, so, definitely try to learn how PC hard disk partitioning works (what's MBR, how many primaries, what's extended, logical, etc) -- you only need to learn it once, then you understand forever ;-) [00:40] windio00: to stop that in the long run - install DKMS for the future-- Let me look to see if the command I have -- [00:40] guys, i'm thinking of switching to windows, because linux doesn't cut it for some of the stuff i need to be doing. my main concern, however, is that i have a large collection of music (some irreplaceable) on an external hard drive, formatted in ext3. will i be able to access ext3 from windows without risk of corruption? [00:40] redvamp128: it does not help [00:40] thanks guys [00:40] but thanks [00:40] bernz, don't worry, i do. [00:41] Pici, I installed from Sun, and upgraded kernel from updates [00:41] sarixe, yes indeed [00:41] sarixe, but avoid making changes (write mode) [00:41] windio00: this is a common issue and all you have to do is re-run the config for virtual box [00:41] default, http://www.kismetwireless.net/documentation.shtml [00:41] So i have linux on one hd then installed windows on another hd, how would i be able to get the windows option show up on grub? [00:41] windio00: I am looking the command up now_ (though usually it gives you what you need to run from terminal to fix itself) [00:42] sarixe, there's a guy called stephan schreiber who makes a driver for NT-based OS which masquerades ext[23]fs volumes as virtual NTFS volumes [00:42] where is the wubi support chat? [00:42] redvamp128, DKMS ok [00:42] search him by name, i can't remember the driver/utility name [00:42] windio00: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup [00:42] oh wait, i think i can just probably resize the ext3 partition to make room for a fat32 or something, and then copy everything over, right? [00:42] that would probably work better [00:42] windio00: that is the command to fix virtual box for now-- but in the future if you have dkms installed it will not need to do that [00:43] !dkms | windio00: [00:43] windio00:: DKMS is Dynamic Kernel Module Support. See https://launchpad.net/dkms for more. [00:43] windio00: you can find that one in synaptic package manger [00:43] redvamp128, thanks for the education [00:43] sarixe: in "total commander" there is special plugin to acces ext3 [00:43] hi guys, Ive got two questions [00:44] sarixe: i downloaded total commander with special pack but in polish [00:44] why does ntfs tools have internal drives shaded out on wubi [00:44] bartek_ : i think it'll do fine if i just make a fat32 partition on the drive and copy things over. === Nickname_ is now known as spass [00:44] 1) WIne: WHen I open up any game for WIne (.exe) all i get is weird lines across the screen that vibrate.

Any suggestions? [00:45] sarixe :http://totalcmd.pl/powerpack [00:45] bartek_: as far as your remote control -- I don't have a clue-- you may also try going to alsa site and see if there are updated drivers (or there you may find clues to configure your Hdmi better) Main Page - AlsaProject [00:45] bartek_ : thanks, but i already have a solution. i asked the question without really thinking about it. [00:46] vock: basically it it involves the user to do 4 things just to get the script to even run that way. [00:46] redvamp128: i have newest alsa and nvidia drivers; i am fighting with problem for a long time [00:46] why does ntfs tools have internal drives shaded out on wubi [00:47] redvamp128, yup, saw that after a bit more reading, i think i just got worried pre-emptively [00:47] but i do not know how aplay finds devices; should i add it somewhere in configuration files? [00:47] is there a way to take a snapshot of the packages that i have installed now, and then have them automatically installed when i reinstall? [00:47] windio00: did that fix you-- It happened to me all the time til I found out about installing -- kernel updates -- and having the Dkms installed stops that from having to be ran each update. [00:48] why does ntfs tools have internal drives shaded out on wubi [00:48] redvamp128, its my brothers computer i am driving over there in about 15 min [00:49] redvamp128: my remote control works as if it is part of keyboard [00:49] but i do not know what is responsible for it [00:49] and only one button working and giving keycodes in xev [00:49] windio00: just run that command -- then install the dkms package afterwards and you won't need to re-run after each major update [00:52] is it legal to create symlinks across different volumes (if one is ext3 and the other is xfs)? [00:52] why does ntfs tools have internal drives shaded out on wubi [00:52] Cany anyone help me regarding wine? [00:52] <^hashbang^> kansan: No it's not. [00:53] ^hashbang^, really?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:57] Usually running compiz, but when I do a metacity --replace, it all works fine, until i close the blank terminal window that pops up, then all my windows freeze, until i do metacity --replace again and leave the terminal window open, make sense to anyone? [00:58] do you have to be sudo to run it [00:58] <^hashbang^> kansan: not if you down the file and dir paths' that you are going to use, otherwise, yes [00:58] I asked already asked, but here: I am experiencing kernel panics with my fresh install of Intrepid. Log: http://paste.cluenet.org/1452 Is the acx module to blame? [00:58] im trying to mount a mp3 player, but i can't figure it out [00:58] redvamp128 anny idea [00:58] syslog recognizes the mp3 player, but i don't know how to do it [00:58] numus: that is not wubi- in the screenshot that is the enable write support for NTFS tool. which also you have to have fuse or ntfs3g installed for this to work. [00:59] hi [00:59] should i backup a partition which i am expanding? [00:59] redvamp128 what do you think wubi is? [00:59] !wubi [00:59] 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. [00:59] <^hashbang^> LordKenTheGreat: ok, what are you doing when you get the panic? [00:59] It's random. [00:59] blizzle that was retorical [00:59] It happens randomly when I use it. [00:59] * blizzle smirks. [00:59] blizzle since i am running wubi i know exactly what it is [00:59] Screen just locks up. [00:59] <^hashbang^> LordKenTheGreat: use what? [00:59] hey guys people who use lvm does it automatically setup partitions? [00:59] Wubi is the installer that when a ubuntu cd is inserted while windows is running- [01:00] Use any program. [01:00] !wubi [01:00] 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. [01:00] what is responsible for creating the /dev/disk/by-uuid ? [01:00] i just installed ubuntu 8.10 in our vmware server host as a guest, is there an easy way from my windows desktop to get a remote desktop connection to the ubuntu desktop? right now i am remotedesktoping to the host, then using the vmware server console to view the guest desktop, which isn't that good [01:00] numus, My commiserations. I consider wubi trialware. :) [01:00] Even during the install, it may sometimes hang randomly. [01:00] redvamp128 you said my screenshot is not wubi.. what did you mean by that [01:00] <^hashbang^> LordKenTheGreat: have you checked your HD lately? bad sectors? [01:00] No. [01:00] numus, Or crippleware ;) [01:01] blizzle i am running a windows 7 test laptop.. and really dont feel like altering my partitions.. thus wubi is great for that [01:01] http://xbox-linux.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/xbox-linux/kernel-2.6/drivers/usb/input/xpad.c [01:01] =C [01:01] <^hashbang^> LordKenTheGreat: how about running memtestx86 off the bootcd [01:01] I reinstalled, and even in the LiveCD, I experience the same random crash. [01:01] Not done so yet. [01:01] blizzle there is no proof that performance degrades when running wubi.. considering it runs exactly like ubuntu installed ona fresh partition.. it is like mount an iso with daemon tools [01:01] numus, Tbh, virtualbox *might* be better for that (in seamless mode). Just a thought :) [01:01] numus: this is wubi http://mouseblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/ubuntu-804-alpha-5.jpg [01:02] <^hashbang^> LordKenTheGreat: ok, sounds like either a MB or memory issue. try running the memtest [01:02] Ok. [01:02] redvamp128 NO.. that is the wubi installer [01:02] redvamp128 wubi runs after bios when you select the wubi bootloader [01:03] Rebooting into memtest now... [01:03] numus, Storing your entire filesystem in a single windows file is risky, to say the least. [01:03] <^hashbang^> numus: if ubuntu is running along side of windows, then it's not running exactly like a fresh ubuntu install. for one, are not using a native ext3 filesystem which is by far faster than isofs [01:03] Anyone able to help a new person with an install [01:03] hey bernz_, i know i said i knew how to partition, but i don't really know if i need to backup when expanding partitions.. do i? [01:04] ^hashbang^: I am currently running the test from the LiveCD. I will report back when it is complete. [01:04] numus, And, yes, there's also the poorer fs performance over native linux as ^hashbang^ mentioned. [01:04] ^hashbang^ it is a virtual ext3 partition... ubuntu thinks it is an ext3 partition and asks just like it [01:04] synaptic seem to say that OpenOffice Base is installed but I can't seem to find it anywhere on the menu's or in Oo's "File / New".. it simply isn't listed.. How do I get to it? [01:04] <^hashbang^> LordKenTheGreat: ok sounds great. [01:04] numus, I've compared the two on the same system. wubi feels slower. [01:05] Anyone available to help? [01:05] blizzle what system setup [01:05] <^hashbang^> numus: your running an application to run an OS... how is that like running the OS without the app? it's not even the same. [01:05] wolter: tough guys does not do backups ;) [01:05] lol [01:05] ^hashbang^: Does a kernel backtrace provide any information that's useful? [01:05] Well, back to Windows for me... [01:05] <^hashbang^> bartek: someone here earlier said, yea they use ftp and let people mirror from them [01:05] Ubuntu looks nice, but is pretty useless for anyone that isn't a unix person [01:06] numus, Are you familiar with Virtualbox? [01:06] blizzle yes [01:06] I know a little unix, but it is just too different [01:06] blizzle and vmware [01:06] I will just have to get windows 7 [01:06] newb what is your problem [01:06] Newb, Nonsense. [01:06] though numus I think you may need to mount the drive first before you can have the write permissions-- check -- nautilus [01:06] <^hashbang^> LordKenTheGreat: it can yes... I'm just not the kernel expert... I know enough but that's pushin it a bit [01:06] Well, how do I get help? [01:06] <|ns|nR8> yep i think you'd be better off with windows Newb [01:06] Newb, Ubuntu is easier than Windows to learn. If my mom can use it, you can. [01:06] !ask | Newb [01:06] Newb: 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. :-) [01:06] redvamp128 the problem is how do i mount the drive when it is currently mounted via a virtual mount [01:07] !patience | Newb [01:07] Newb: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [01:07] i wonder is there vnc or some facsimilie thereof built in to ubuntu [01:07] hyperbuddha: Vino? [01:07] <^hashbang^> Newb: what do you need help with? [01:07] !ask how do I get superuser? [01:07] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:07] redvamp128 as far as ubuntu knows... the drive is mounted... what i need to do is get access outside of the boot structure [01:07] !vnc | hyperbuddha [01:07] hyperbuddha: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [01:07] hyperbuddha, sudo apt-get install x11vnc tightvncserver [01:07] i use openbox on ubuntu 8.10, and have installed the obmenu, but the debian submenu does not show when i right click [01:07] <^hashbang^> Newb: type sudo "then your command" [01:07] Well, I did an install and my updates won't install [01:08] Gives a command I need to invoke [01:08] <^hashbang^> Newb: type sudo apt-get update [01:08] newb what you trying to do [01:08] Newb, sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [01:08] When I enter the command it says I need to be super user [01:08] Install flash [01:08] numus: open places and see if there is another drive there. [01:08] <^hashbang^> Newb: type sudo apt-get update [01:08] I can't update [01:08] Newb, Type the above into a terminal.. [01:08] thanx [01:08] <^hashbang^> Newb: are you even reading what i'm typing [01:08] sounds like apt is locked for Newb // numus ^hashbang^ [01:08] Yes [01:08] Type it into a shell? [01:08] Newb: you need to enable restricted before you can install flash-- it is in mediabuntu [01:08] <^hashbang^> Newb: yes [01:09] blizzle redvamp128 it isnt that big a deal.. windows media player 12 just sucks and wished to use ubuntu to play videos till the bugs are worked out [01:09] how do I copy an entire directory into another directory [01:09] How does one enable restricted? [01:09] <^hashbang^> Jeaton: cp -a /dir /dir2 [01:09] newb you did setup a password correct? that is a big problem from windows to ubuntu users.. you need to setup an admin password .. blank usually causes problems [01:09] simple enough, thanks [01:09] I did upon install [01:09] <^hashbang^> Jeaton: np [01:09] newb: ask google for "repositories ubuntu" [01:09] what does "unable to find open framebuffer device" mean ? [01:09] hyperbuddha, If you want to share a desktpo session, use x11vnc, if you want to have a separate x session, use tightvncserver. x11vnc needs root. commands: tightvncserver or sudo x11vnc [01:10] ok [01:10] i am makign a big mistake enabling the beta repo and updating everything [01:10] thanx u guys rock [01:10] newb- system-- administration - software sources =then checmark the bottom restricted and multiverse. [01:10] blizzle, i dont think x11vnc really needs root [01:10] ok [01:10] Newb: then close-- let it do its thing --then open up synaptic package manger-- then you should see flash listed [01:10] usser, Seems to require it here. [01:10] Im brain dead does anyone remember the command to refresh or force an update of the dependancy libraries? [01:11] usser you are running a problem with alternate drivers.. usually requires admin [01:11] err program [01:11] judget that sudo apt-get update should get those [01:11] restricted and multiverse are checked [01:11] newb -- click close and let it update [01:12] they were already checked [01:12] no I mean there was a command to force the system to update its list of the dependant libraries [01:12] Newb: then after it closes-- open up synaptic package manger [01:12] Newb: you should see the following-- Flashplugin-nonfree [01:12] judget, update to what tho? the newer versions in the ubuntu repositories? [01:12] hello [01:12] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [01:12] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [01:13] how can I get xchat-gnome to automatically auth in quakenet? [01:13] newb: so do it with sud in front [01:13] Newb, So run: sudo dpkg --configure -a from a terminal. [01:13] sorry sudo [01:13] I just built the libflav for flash but my gstreamer is still saying the flashdeps are missing [01:13] is there any danger for a partition when it is going to be expanded? [01:14] <^hashbang^> wolter: are you resizing your partition? [01:14] gotta love how ubuntu can reload specific system files without restarting. crap [01:14] there was a command to force the system to update its "paths" for deps [01:14] ust have just hit a media player update.. just stoped my video [01:14] Can you be more descriptive? [01:14] Newb: applications- accessories -- terminal [01:14] Newb: sudo = super user (administrator) do [01:14] Thank s [01:14] ^hashbang^: yes, but i am making it bigger [01:14] ^hashbang^: i also think it is going to be moved, for i will make it bigger both to the left and to the right [01:14] <^hashbang^> wolter: ok...are you using gparted? if so, no worries [01:15] ^hashbang^: i am, so thanks =D [01:15] blizzle: pm? [01:15] blizzle, actually it's Substitute User DO .. as you can become other users not necessarily the superuser [01:15] ther was a command something like libdep === chaky_ is now known as chaky [01:15] <^hashbang^> wolter: it will just take some time... grab something to drink, take nap (if the drive is really big) [01:15] ^hashbang^ redvamp128 blizzle as long as i can mount an ntfs drive over a samba network share.. i dont need to access my ntfs partition over wubi.. just would have been a nice ittle side thing [01:15] Think I will figure this out? [01:15] Ok, thanks so muchblizzle [01:15] Newb, Linux is often very helpful is you only read the messages. sudo is key. put that before anything that doesn't otherwise work when running terminal commands :) [01:16] Gotcha [01:16] That is great, thanks [01:16] newb there is a lot to ubuntu.. but it is amazing how high quality the free stuff is [01:16] ^hashbang^: lol.. i am resizing from 100gb to 393gb [01:16] Oh, I know [01:16] What an amazing piece of technology [01:16] I am having some trouble with my sound on DVD playback. The sound for everything else seems to work just fine but when I do a DVD it gets all messed up. I am running audio though an HDMI cable to an HDML TV using an ATi HD 3450 with DVI to HDMI adapter and 8.12 crystal driver all on a Dell Optiplex GX260 amd running Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10). Anyone have any thoughts or anything for me to try? [01:16] blizzle what system config did you try virtualbox and wubi on [01:16] blizzle: -- gksu is more apt for graphical applications [01:16] I must say Open Office is the most amazing software [01:16] !sudo | Newb: [01:16] Newb:: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [01:16] <^hashbang^> wolter: hmm, yea... a nap would be good =).. and I'm not joking =) [01:16] I turn everyone on to it === CJ__ is now known as Athenon [01:17] blizzle running Core 2 duo E5600 with a radeon x1400 320 gig 7200 rpm drive and 4 gigs of ddr2 667mhz mem [01:17] Ok, quick question [01:17] ^hashbang^: haha i bet [01:17] and now i am having streaming issues [01:17] I am really busy and I don't have a lot of time to learn a new OS, what is the easiest install of Linux to use [01:17] ^hashbang^: thanks, you gave me confidence to do it =D i guess ill be off for a while [01:17] redvamp128, Sure, gksudo (or alt+f2) always useful :) [01:17] I am so glad you guys are here though, thank you so much [01:17] <^hashbang^> wolter: ok cheers and good luck [01:18] unop, substitute user. Ah, ok. Guess my info is corrupt. *laugh* [01:18] Yesterday everything was fine, today all my titel bars are missing, my second HD is not automounting and when it does its not showing my folders in Places like I had them arranged, any ideas? [01:18] updating to beta software was a baddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd idea [01:18] <^hashbang^> Newb: ubuntu is very easy to learn for the most part... any issues you have, the channel is here and always remember. Google.com is your best friend =) [01:18] I tried searching [01:18] <^hashbang^> numus: hench the word "beta" [01:19] ^hashbang^ if i disable the beta repo will all my software revert back to stable [01:19] hi, umm does anyone know why my wine can't run games at full screen like urban terror and halo? [01:19] lol [01:19] <^hashbang^> numus: hmm, not if the packages have already been updated [01:19] numus, Do you meant jaunty? [01:19] Elcapitain: check priviledges in your home folder [01:19] naa i enabled the prerelease repo [01:19] numus, Or do you mean "proposed updates"? [01:19] ^hashbang^: Memtest passed. [01:19] Krypton, first, does the site at winehq.com say those games are expected to work? [01:19] and unsupported updates [01:20] Krypton, second, is 3D acceleration working right for native games? [01:20] I'll see if my attempt at blacklisting the acx module works. [01:20] Krypton: Ask in #winehq as well [01:20] blizzle which was a bad idea.. i knew it before i clicked them.. but i cant stop myself [01:20] how do I know if 3d accel. is not working right? [01:20] <^hashbang^> Krypton: last I checked wine wasn't the best thing to run big 3dfx windows games. try crossover for linux [01:20] numus, so disable the repos and reinstall everything. job done :) [01:20] also, why cant i run urban terror naitvely? I have to use wine. [01:20] <^hashbang^> LordKenTheGreat: well, that's a good sign... [01:20] blizzle if i do a apt-get update and upgrade will it revert everything? [01:20] I downloaded the zip like they said but there is no file for .deb [01:20] you guys are great [01:20] I'll report back if it resolves the problem. [01:21] Thanks for everything [01:21] Thanks for helping! [01:21] Krypton: here is the deb for the game Ubuntu Software Search [01:21] blizzle nope it wont [01:21] numus, No. You have to resort to command line kungfu. [01:21] Krypton: oops sorry here is the link Urban Terror [01:21] blizzle NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO [01:21] Krypton you need the first two on the list [01:21] blizzle i will just use this unsupported stuff till fixes come out [01:22] <^hashbang^> Krypton: if you are downloading windows games to play on linux, then it's best that you either 1. not play windows games on linux, or 2. get crossover for linux to run the windows games, or 3. get games that run under linux and that were made for linux =) problem solved [01:22] that asla the lewing frouch ! [01:22] numus, I'm running jaunty. It works well enough. [01:23] yes, they said urban teror was linux native but I cant find a file that runs str8 from linux [01:23] Krypton: here it is Urban Terror [01:23] <^hashbang^> Krypton: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Urban+Terror this link has it [01:24] <^hashbang^> redvamp128: I copied your line =) [01:24] blizzle still trying to figure out if it is possible to access the primary ntfs partition while booted onto a virtual ext3 partition.. probably will take me most of tomorrow at work to figure out the shortcut [01:24] yes but do i have to redownload the whole urban terror or just the >1 MB file [01:24] <^hashbang^> Krypton: the whole game [01:24] numus, sudo apt-get install ntfs-config [01:24] Krypton: you need both files-- [01:24] <^hashbang^> Krypton: it was compiled to run under linux [01:25] will it go faster than the one on wine? [01:25] blizzle did that.. but ntfs tools shades out to uncheckable internal drives [01:25] <^hashbang^> Krypton: man I'd hope so.. I've never tried it before [01:25] Krypton : should run even faster provided you have ATI/NVidia Drivers installed ... but yes should run faster. [01:25] numus, try running as sudo from a command line. [01:25] blizzle i did.. it is already installed [01:26] my sftp doesnt work [01:26] ntfs-config is already the newest version. [01:26] with nautilus [01:27] <^hashbang^> obf213: ? what do you mean? explain [01:27] numus, check /media/ for signs of a windows partition. also: man mount and apt-cache search ntfs are commands to try.

[01:45] i have already restructured the drive and installed windows xp pro on it like 3 times in the past 2 days [01:45] Newb: Look at the bottom of the page-- Linux_Downloads - VirtualBox [01:45] fluitfries I just unmounted the windows partition so /media/disk is free right now [01:45] help me, i have ubuntu 8.10. i have instaled apache anda php4 but when i try open php in browser will show like this http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e283/ardantus/stats.jpg can anyone help me why this happen? [01:45] ElCapitan: sudo fdisk -l to see all of your hdd devices. then sudo nano /etc/fstab and add a line for the device you want to mount. look at the file itself to see how to structure the line. [01:45] Newb: I would also suggest-- installing Dkms in addition to the Virtual Box.... it will make kernel updates easier without having to reconfigure virtual box each time. [01:46] !dkms | Newb: [01:46] Newb:: DKMS is Dynamic Kernel Module Support. See https://launchpad.net/dkms for more. [01:47] is there a way to tell apt-get to use a different mirror? i'm stalling out on gulus.usherbrooke.ca [01:47] sudo fdisk -l my second hd is /dev/sdb so I wamt to add that to /etc/fstab as /media/disk? === rachel is now known as Guest32810 [01:48] Why not p2p with apt-get, should be fast [01:48] fluitfries: open synaptic... then settings/repositories.. then where it says "download from".. choose the server you want. [01:49] IndyGunFreak: im stuck with a console right now. :P [01:49] fluitfries my second hd is /dev/sdb so I want to add that to /etc/fstab as /media/disk? [01:49] how do you view what devices you currently have mounted? [01:49] fluitfries: oh... sorry.. not sure how to do it via command line [01:49] <_2> ElCapitan "/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 auto defaults 0 0" [01:49] ElCapitan: and what kind of filesystem does fdisk say it is? [01:49] Our office is using 8.04 for the LTS, but have found a really annoying bug in GEdit 2.22, which has been fixed in 8.10 (GEdit 2.24). Is there a way I can update 8.04 to use GEdit 2.24 without upgrading to 8.10? [01:49] ElCapitan: you have to specify the filesystem in the line as well [01:50] <_2> fluitfries fdisk doesn't check fs type, it only checks partition types [01:50] <_2> ElCapitan "/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 auto defaults 0 0" [01:50] _2: that's what i meant. :) [01:50] fluitfries like _2 I cant find the type there but I know its ext3 [01:51] _2, just add that anywhere? [01:51] Jeaton, you can look at /etc/mtab for everything that is mounted [01:51] anyone know how to run compiz and watch videos at the same time? [01:51] <_2> ElCapitan in fstab yes. [01:51] numus: why couldnt you [01:51] fluitfries: try mount [01:52] fluitfries: I think the command is just mount to list what is mounted [01:52] <_2> for the record... file -s /dev/sdb1 will list the fstype [01:52] can anyone verify on hardy or intrepid that open office base is or isn't installed... I can't find it anywhere which is puzzling [01:52] fluitfries: I guess, you just manually change the URIs in your sources.list to a new mirrior? [01:52] <_2> redvamp128 yes or "cat /proc/mounts" [01:52] redvamp128: dunno but i use sudo fdisk -l religiously. :P [01:53] help me, i have ubuntu 8.10. i have instaled apache anda php4 but when i try open php in browser will show like this http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e283/ardantus/stats.jpg can anyone help me why this happen? [01:53] RantingHuman: yea i guess so. :/ [01:53] Does ubuntu have an equivalent to /etc/debian_version that tells the Ubuntu release? [01:53] _2: I like that one better as to the fact that it also gives UUID [01:53] maybe write a script for it ;) [01:54] TML : cmd uname -a [01:54] !version | TML [01:54] TML: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [01:54] <_2> redvamp128 you'll like "blkid" also then. [01:54] yay i fixed it! [01:54] "lsb-release -a" - awesome [01:54] <_2> redvamp128 or df -h ftw :))) [01:54] fxhp: uname just tells the kernel. lsb-release works. :) [01:54] hello:) [01:54] <_2> TML is it dash or underscore ? [01:55] compiz ruined my wm, but moving all my user settings files out and creating new ones fixes it. :) [01:55] ah :) [01:55] Question, how do you turn off the one panel that you cant right click and remove? [01:55] holas [01:55] kwsn: what panel is that? [01:55] _2: Well, it's /etc/lsb-release and /usr/bin/lsb-release [01:55] rampantdingo what you mean [01:55] could someone tell me which package has "update-rc.d"? i managed to uninstall it and don't know how to get it back [01:55] err [01:55] _2: Well, it's /etc/lsb-release and /usr/bin/lsb_release [01:55] Scunizi: the Gnome one [01:56] kwsn: there are 2 default panels in gnome.. which one .. upper or lower [01:56] Scunizi: uh... the one that has "applications" on it by default [01:56] TML, this should work on most distros (and where lsb isn't installed) cat /etc/*{version,release,issue}* [01:57] ir the checkbox lock panel selected [01:57] wah [01:57] question, i have ubuntu 8.10. i have instaled apache anda php4 but when i try open php in browser will show like this http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e283/ardantus/stats.jpg can anyone help me why this happen? [01:57] albertus: why php4? [01:57] still can't hit usherbrooke even with synaptic. :( [01:58] kwsn: you should be able to remove that with a right mouse click.. works on my sys. if you want to remove the whole thing then find a blank area in the middle of it and try again.. if you only want to remove the "applications/Places/system" portion right click on that.. make sure "lock to panel" isn't checked [01:58] timeless, dpkg -S $(which update-rc.d) [01:58] sysv-rc: /usr/sbin/update-rc.d [01:58] danbhfive, so do you have any idea [01:58] unop: /etc/issue gives some pretty mixed results on Debian, in my experience. [01:58] timeless, you could also use http://packages.ubuntu.com/ to do lookups [01:58] _2: pm? [01:59] "Delete this panel" is grayed out though Scunizi [01:59] TML, hmm, in mine, /etc/issue has been spot on as far as i can remember on debian [01:59] albertus: heh, well, it looks like you are running php5, I guess I didn't need to ask. Try this: sudo tasksel install lamp-server or sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ if you want to see the packages installed [02:00] u:tonyhauber [02:01] :( [02:01] dpkg: `update-rc.d` not found on PATH [02:01] (which itself is a screwy error message) [02:01] i'm having a problem upgrading 7.04 to 8.10 server edition.. is it advisable to change sources manually and run dist-upgrade? [02:02] danbhfive, ok i will try it [02:02] timeless, does. sudo aptitude install sysv-rc #not work? [02:02] a1fa_: I would ask in #ubuntu-server [02:02] thanks [02:02] can anyone ping gulus.usherbrooke.ca? [02:02] negatory, fluitfries. [02:02] poo!

Which is the best method for me? [02:11] <_2> ElCapitan and note i did assume that you have a partition on that disk, there is no law that says you have to have a partition, i personally don't use them. so if it's a filesystem without a partition change the /dev/sdb1 to /dev/sdb [02:12] Dillizar: http://www.wireshark.org/download.html [02:12] olragon:more info about deploy ? [02:12] k i download it and installed it DasEi now what i need to do [02:13] <_2> yipe! i just hung my only superuser access to this box.... looks like i'll have to reboot to gain control of it. [02:13] my laptop has an AMD Turion 64 processor I think it's like 2.4GHz but when I cat /proc/cpuinfo it says 800MHz. I've noticed the processor is running at a high % a lot of the time and intensive websites like gmail and facebook temporarily freeze every page load so I can tell the processor is probably running at 800MHz, def not the speed it should be at. I remember i dropped my laptop once or twice, but it's been running fine for months since that's [02:13] happened, well besides the fact that CPU is running slow could it be that my processor got a bit unseated on the fall or something and tha'ts why it's running slow, but still running. nothing ever fails it's just hte processor runs really slow, apparently at 800MHz [02:14] DasEi: I want to deploy a customized ubuntu version for my opensource training lab. [02:15] _2, that didnt seem to work, my fstab seems different then examples I have seen online (sorry if you saw this and resonded, my connection froze had to reconnect) [02:15] hello all.

[02:21] <_2> ElCapitan again, i know it can be done, and do use partitionless disks, but just to make sure we are on the same page of music. how did you format (make the filesystem) on the disk ? [02:21] jillian: for frostwire you could try installing an updated version from getdeb.net [02:21] so adobe released flash for 64-bit linux, but is that what's included in jaunty or does it still just use the 32-bit version? [02:21] I am having problems with the command mount -a. It returns the errors http://pastebin.com/d700c136e my /etc/fstab file is http://pastebin.com/m26ddca81. How can i fix this?

[02:24] ok..i'll do that thanx [02:24] what is the best way to download the updated one...from the site?? [02:24] jillian: are all your programs unstable, or just frostwire?

I'm thinking just nuke the main windows, change the data to fat32 and give'er === ubuntu_ is now known as NW [02:26] <_2> ElCapitan the disk /dev/sdb is partitioned. probably contains one primary partition. you have a filesystem within the partition. you can't mount the disk. you can't mount a partition. you can only mount a filesystem. the filesystem is within the first primary partition, on the device. so mount /dev/sdb1 on /mnt/disk and be happy with it.

[02:36] ok..i'm in package manager now and i don't see anything that says installed [02:37] L|nuxPS2, Sure. try "firstprog | tr \012 \00 | xargs -0 -n1 secondprog" [02:37] do you mean the list on the left...if so frostwire isn't there [02:37] jillian: click the word installed [02:37] RussM: alright, i'll try that, thanks [02:37] @JPSMAN: you can try re-install linux-kernel-headers to fix this issue [02:37] jillian: then move the bar up and down on the right to see more packages [02:38] L|nuxPS2, Wait, that passes the line as args to the second prog... sorry. You want it to pass it as stdin to secondprog? [02:38] where is installed [02:38] olragon: the linux-kernel-headers for all of linux or just the headers for the VirtualBox?

[02:40] hi [02:40] does the remote desktop only work for windows to ubuntu? or can i control windows computers too?

[02:41] L|nuxPS2_: u're welcome [02:41] jillian: other than before you install -- use nautilus then find the .frostwire folder and delete that ( you would have to show hidden) [02:41] Daft_Punk, you can right click on the menu item and then select properties. [02:41] what command to I run to see which version of the kernel i am running? [02:41] trent1, use tsclient. it cad do RDP, windows remote desktop [02:41] Then, if you click on the icon in the dialog, it tells you where it is. [02:41] jillian: lets not worry about that-- the new should see the old [02:41] where is nautilus [02:42] ok...lol [02:42] so...go ahead and download the new one?

That just gave "zip error". :( [02:43] ok..thanx [02:43] jillian: for the default install of Ubuntu (unless you have Xubuntu/Kubuntu or many varients) [02:43] be right back - testing my script [02:43] thank you :) [02:43] no..i have ubuntu [02:43] porter1_, i am talking about the icon for frostwire in my tray... not in the menu [02:43] luser9, hm zip -r foo.zip "Part I" [02:43] usser: maybe my terminal fu is no good, is there a GUI way, or better front end than file roller?

[02:52] dn4: Certainly possible, but the official instructions don't have the upgrading to alpha part, they can upgrade you to intrepid [02:52] redvamp128 i found my answer for the ntfs partition access [02:53] cool was it already mounted? [02:53] i wuouldn't advise upgrading hardy to jaunty alpha, maybe to intrepid yes [02:53] But the directory is on another computer, so it would be throught Samba,,right ?? [02:53] redvamp128 ya.. it was hiding in a folder called host inside root [02:53] numus: let me guess -- mnt [02:53] how can I move a package from one PC to another, the second one has not internet [02:53] couldn't I just replace my apt-get repositories with alpha ones [02:53] redvamp128 ??? [02:53] and then do apt-get update [02:54] qcjn, you can mount samba shares with smbmount [02:54] or will that break my system? [02:54] redvamp128 nautilus /host [02:54] dn4, did you even read that link giving to you? [02:54] does anyone know how to netboot the 8.10 livecd? [02:54] redvamp128 had to search root and then find host and look inside it and found all my ntfs file system info [02:54] equery files $package will return the files installed by $package. does apt have a similar program? I understand with debs on GUI I can't see where files are to be installed [02:54] usser, i think it's already mounted, cause i can get to it trought nautilus [02:54] kindofabuzz, yes [02:54] usser: i just can't make the search [02:54] how do i stop the mysql server ? [02:55] qcjn, nautilus has its own virtual filesystem, its not actually mounted anywhere physically === techsupport is now known as orudie [02:55] usser: ok [02:55] sorry for the nick change [02:55] qcjn, man smbmount, it goes something like this smbmount //server/share /localdirectory -o User=username [02:56] i just installed ubuntu on my new dell inspiron and my wireless in not working [02:56] in the restricted drivers it shows wl [02:56] any suggestion ?? [02:56] auditya: dell insprion? is it a broadcom [02:56] usser: it's complicated just to find the "route to" [02:57] wtf does ubuntu use, rc-update or something [02:57] System -> Prefrences -> Sessions? [02:57] oh wait, boot time. nevermind. =P [02:57] * staykov has quit ("sleep") [02:57] Malformation: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:57] orudie: as root in a terminal you can use /etc/init.d/mysql stop [02:57] like what does 8.10 offer that is special?

[02:57] qcjn, what do you mean by find the route to? [02:58] virtualuser, dont have to do anything special, with 2.1 you can bridge any connection to virtualbox with a click of a button [02:58] usser: the name of the computer, the name of the user, directory [02:58] virtualuser, as long as its detected by host os [02:58] qcjn, why is it so hard? [02:59] xnt: yea its broadcom [02:59] #mplayer [02:59] qcjn, name or ip of the computer your connecting to, [02:59] auditya: if its a broadcom, than you are going to pull your hair out trying to get it to work in ubuntu. I swapped my broadcom for an atheros card the moment I got it [02:59] do you guys know if those small external harddrives(fit in pocket) can be used as an operating system drive? [02:59] ip is easy [02:59] qcjn, share is the name under which the share is listed on windows you can find that out through the properties on winbox [02:59] usser, i am talking to you now via a wireless connection, however ubuntu's network manager dosent seem to know it, i would like to go into monitor mode [02:59] usser: good idea [02:59] blueraven: 2.5"" ? why not [03:00] well, they are typically used as backup drives..they have sync software on them [03:00] xnt: is there any way out for this ??? [03:00] virtualuser, i am not sure what you're talking about, are u running ubuntu in the virtualbox? [03:00] once I had a laptop with a broadcom card, and in the restricted drivers section I found a driver , but it needed firmware [03:00] hold on a sec [03:00] qcjn, the user is the user that's allowed access to the share, ie the user under which u shared the folder on windows [03:01] the 500gb ones are $120 now and they fit in your pocket [03:01] usser: i know the name of the computer, the name of hte user, and the share name should be the same name as under nautilus [03:02] qcjn, yea [03:02] auditya: exactly which broadcom card is it, run lspci in a terminal [03:02] qcjn, ie when it mounts with nautilus you should have an icon on the desktop, ie share on storage for example [03:03] usser: i have aname + ip [03:03] qcjn, yea so mount it. sudo smbmount //ip/share /mnt -o User=yourusername [03:04] #smplayer [03:04] usser: i ll try [03:04] does anyone know how to boot 8.10 off pxe?

[03:34] usser: what happens if i mount another one, another share. Will ls -al /mnt work, or will i have to add a share name ? [03:34] virtualuser: assuming your username is virtualuser : cp /home/virtualuser/Desktop/RT73* /usr/src [03:35] lemonpledge: gparted is fairly self explanatory. You would select the partition, and somehow select the shrink option. Maybe through a right-click [03:35] ok [03:35] jhonnyboy: no, that's just a browser, youll have to add the my computer icon manually, i forget how [03:35] lemonpledge: you can use gparted for that, and afterwards check fstab if you use uuids for changes [03:35] danbhfive: ok, and will it be NTFS? [03:35] lemonpledge: I've never used gparted, but if you get a copy of partition magic, it's almost self explanatory once you boot to the CD [03:35] qcjn, hehe, yea btw find can do a lot more than that, its really a swiss army knife. its not limited to displaying the files that match a pattern it can execute actions on them as well, for example find . -mtime 2 -exec mv {} {}.mp3 \; will rename every file that was modified in last two days to .mp3 [03:35] jhonnyboy: you can use an application called ubuntu tweak to add the computer to your desktop [03:35] usser: and for the é, would i have to put eacute or something like that ? [03:36] qcjn, im not sure about e char, cant you just rename the share [03:36] Lerxst: Thank you [03:36] DOes any1 else us XP for gaming and ubuntu for all the better thign sin life lol [03:36] qcjn, as for mounting you can create as many directories in /mnt as you want and mount all shares in those subdirectories [03:36] I hate to nag but.:).screen resolution question. Every user can set their own resolution. Anyone know what file holds the info? [03:36] usser: i think so ? should ! [03:36] lemonpledge: I use debian and XP, although, I use XP more because of all the requirements for my school work [03:36] Hi folks. I'm installing subversion, and it claims a dependency on exim... but I don't want exim installed (I use postfix). How do I get aptitude to install subversion, but exim? [03:36] just makes life easier [03:37] jhonnyboy: just a note, the application is not in the repositories [03:37] qcjn, yea, i'd avoid those characters, there are still programs on linux that dont support utf [03:37] i'm having a dpkg problem.. says to --configure -a ... i do it... and i get dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0031' near line 1: [03:37] usser: i think i m gonna have to read about that [03:37] lemon: i used ubuntu, fedora, xp, vista, windows 7... the later 3 for work [03:37] when i ifconfig..the HWaddr i see there, should that match my router's Local Network MAC (Linksys)??

[03:38] more specific..the eth0 HWaddr for my LAN connection [03:38] oh and last question, once i install XP how will the bootloader look like or do I need to edit that [03:38] usser: now when i name , i try to be careful of that, accent, spaces, uppercase, etc [03:38] Fragesteller, mount the partition somewhere. and sudo chroot /directorywhereyoumounted [03:38] qcjn, yea and spaces too, avoid spaces :) [03:38] usser, thanks [03:38] qcjn, use underscores [03:39] usser: thats what i do now [03:39] usser: but there's a lot or relics [03:39] Fragesteller:you got to mount your / of deadsystem somwhere in live (if it's not automounted), then : sudo chroot /path/to/mount [03:39] lemon: in my experience, XP will overwrite your bootloader, you will have to make a boot CD to reload it after the Xp installation is finished, but I could be wrong, it's been a long while since I've had to build a dual boot system [03:40] !grub | lemonpledge [03:40] lemonpledge: GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[03:46] MeVsTheVoices, Hmm, just tried Numlock on both laptop and USB numpad, neither work. [03:46] amy_: Both, just to be sure, numlock is a status contained w/i the computer, not the keyboard [03:46] what about that [03:46] amy_: Just checking [03:46] qcjn, yea thats true, you should use mount -t cifs [03:46] MeVsTheVoices, NP, I tested that it's physically working on my windows XP PC [03:46] deunnero:is there a file /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0031 ? [03:47] not sure. [03:47] qcjn, i just told you to use smbmount cause syntax is kinda easier to grasp at first, but mount -t cifs is basically the same [03:47] qcjn, just replace smbmount with mount -t cifs [03:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/116677/ <--- is the complete log of whats happening [03:47] usser: so if i m going to learn, better be that [03:47] hey Matt [03:47] deunnero:ls /var/lib/dpkg/updates/003* [03:48] Christ there is a lot of people here..

(I have a wubi install and my ubuntu sits on ntfs in a file called root.disk, but normal mount command seems to be willing to mount real drives only) [03:54] pan stands for personal area network, bluetooth [03:54] petkor: with apt-get you can add the --purge directive to get rid of configuration files. I find synaptic is easiest to locate packages with leftover configuration files. But, there is no registry. Typically, there is either a text file somewhere, or a directory of text files. [03:54] Fragesteller: Where do you want to mount the disk, another linux install? [03:54] even though is says Link encap:Ethernet KyleK? [03:55] WebcamWonder: That wubi ubuntu doesn't start anymore, so I'm an a slax live cd and wanted to mount it here [03:55] Fragesteller:sudo mount /dev/whatever /path/to mount/to , other then ext - fs needs also the fs-type given [03:55] <_VIM_> is there a good software for ubuntu for Sony HandyCams? The CD that it came with is for Windows, wondering if there is something like it for ubuntu [03:55] Fragesteller:see man mount [03:56] Fragesteller: First you would have to mount the existing ntfs partition somewhere. Lets say you mount it at /mnt/ntfs. Then you mounth the disk inside the ntfs partition to somewhere else, lets say /mount/wubi, then you can access it [03:56] can someone imagebin.ca me a shot of their software sources for Intrepid... I just need to see the third party sources. [03:56] i can talk to my router through LAN, can't ping Internet..not familiar w/ Ubuntu Wired Connection settings [03:56] how do I use "rm" to remove ONLY directories and anything inside of them without touching the files in the main directory that the (soon to be deleted) directories reside? [03:56] hey guys!! how can I see my video card's model? [03:56] deunnero /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0031 ?

But with mount /mnt/sda1/ubuntu/root.disk /root/ubuntu it tells me that the device /mnt/sda1/ubuntu/root.disk does not exist [03:58] amy_: Try using thiss http://paste.ubuntu.com/116682/ I'll look for a list of possible Xkbd stuffs [03:58] Ugh! OpenOffice and Evolution are being so annoying! [03:58] usser: thanks.. I understand the -r (thinking that should be -R but will check)... what's the -i ?? [03:58] Sussa: hwinfo gives even more detailed info [03:58] Fragesteller: Look at loopback mounting. That is how you can mount an existing parittion in file from an existing mounted partition [03:58] is there a german language channel like this one? [03:59] WebcamWonder: thank you.

Will surely find something on google [04:00] I've got an VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. Chrome9 HC IGP (rev 01) video card. It works on Ubuntu 8.04.2, but it doesn't on 8.10. Is there anything that I should do about it? :P [04:00] usser: actually I want to delete all the directories.. but not 2 files that are in the root of the directories that need to go bye bye [04:00] amy_: Also use `ls /dev/input/by-{path,id}` to get the dev stuffs for each [04:01] <__david> opennow [04:01] <__david> How do I edit equations in openoffice writer? [04:01] <__david> I'm using hardy, and the option is just greyed out [04:01] usser: not really "root" in the classic sense. it's in my home directory on a server that I've ssh'd into.. everthing in home needs to be deleted except these two files.. one *.csv and *.ldif [04:02] Scunizi, hm why dont you just mv those 2 files somewhere outside then delete everything [04:02] amy_: USB devices will have a prefix somewhere in there name. If you want to check functionality `cat /dev/input/stuff` then see if the output corresponds with the input, ie jam buttons and see if its in time [04:02] MeVsTheVoices, dev stuffs? I thought you just needed to open xorg.conf and insert what you pasted at that URL [04:03] amy_: I don't know what numpads show up as :-( except for a usb input device [04:03] Sussa, find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d | xargs rm -rf <- you might want to try it with "echo" first, though! [04:03] MeVsTheVoices, would it help if I pasted some dmesg output? [04:03] WebcamWonder, DasEI1 thank you [04:03] usser: well :) I could do that but I'd like to not have to do that because I'm hoping that I can learn another way.. removing just directories and what's inside from a specified location [04:03] Fragesteller: np [04:03] how to reinstall firefox [04:03] amy_: Might do, can't help :-) [04:04] Fragesteller: Glad to help :) [04:04] hey ^hashbang^, just finished haha [04:04] Sussa, find . -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d gets you the names of all the directories below the current directory.

I can't figure out make options :/ it's doing -Werror on its own. [04:05] I installed privoxy and Tor onto Firefox 3, and when I go to whatismyip.com, the ip address hasn't changed in days. What am I doing wrong? I thought these two add-ons anonymize me. [04:05] Sussa, xargs rm -rf that feeds the list of directory names to the fun "recursively delete this directory and everything below" [04:05] Scunizi, well you can use find to do that [04:05] usser: how? [04:05] Scunizi, ie find /path/to/directory -type d -exec rm -r {} \; [04:05] <__david> How do I edit equations in openoffice? Is the editor not installed by default? [04:06] Scunizi, that should delete recursively all the directories inside the the /path/to/directory [04:06] Scunizi, dont trust me on it though, backup first [04:06] rtttt === gnu is now known as Guest57187 [04:06] how port programming in ubuntu [04:07] Scunizi, oops sorry [04:07] usser: now that looks cool.. that's what I was looking for. thanks :) I'm really on a learning curve for this sort of stuff.

[04:07] does anyone know if the laptop killer bug has been fixed? I am looking at the bug on launchpad and I just can't tell if it is still in the works. [04:07] Scunizi, that actually wont work i just tested it [04:07] hallo [04:07] Scunizi, hang lemme figure it ouy [04:07] usser: maybe using grep? [04:07] Hi, I am trying to boot over network.

[04:09] havent been up to date on recent ubuntu viruses [04:09] usser: ok. this is bash stuff? [04:10] Scunizi, asterisk at the end means search for everything inside the directory, that excludes the directory itself, if you dont specify it find will delete the root directory as well [04:10] Scunizi, thats find command syntax [04:10] Scunizi, not exactly bash [04:10] amy_: Intrepid Ibex (8.10) [04:10] ?

I appriciate it. [04:11] MeVsTheVoices, how do I check? I'm using Xubuntu [04:11] hello [04:11] Scunizi, Heheh, I wasn't paying attention, and answered your question to someone else. Looks like usser got ya anyway. [04:12] Scunizi, -type in find tells it what type of file to look for, -type d means only look for directories leave regular files alone [04:12] i have playing doom but now is my mouse from xorg desktop away. i cannot move my mouse how to reload my mouse on xorg server?

[04:18] Scunizi, ie \; is the termination symbol for find [04:18] amy_: Sorry :-( [04:19] MeVsTheVoices, No worries.

I'll check lspci [04:21] wikkedfin: Bash is a programming language that offers much more capability over batch scripts, the O'Reilly book for it is the best, if not, there are certainly tons of tutorials for BASH [04:22] amy_:no need then, it's detected [04:22] DasEI1, Any idea why it doesn't seem to work/how to get it to work?

[04:22] amy_: pastebinit /var/log/syslog [04:23] vbox ose shouldn't have much problems in intrepid? needing to run a centos client [04:23] Wuju : it has a thriving community. and they strive to reduce bugs. so answering yes would not be so positive. basically the os with the least bugs is the best. [04:24] luddite: you can just reformat with gparted an then mount the free space somewhere to use with 8.10 [04:24] usser: ok.. another question. I used nano to write that command down and save the file as "notes".. when starting nano from inside my home directory I get "Error reading /home/server/.nano_history: Permission denied.. Press Enter to continue starting nano." Like I mentioned before, I'm ssh'd into my server and using screen (split) with irssi on the top and a bash prompt on the bottom (if that makes a difference).. Why am I getting the erro [04:24] luddite: thanks for the response. [04:25] amy_: url from last cmd ? [04:25] Scunizi, nano_history file somehow got chown'ed to some other user [04:25] amy_, does it work in a VT? [04:25] Scunizi, just run sudo chown $USERNAME:$USERNAME .nano_history [04:25] DasEI1, http://pastebin.com/f1c4427b3 [04:25] DasEl1 : that would free it up surely but can i delete it and move the extended onto it? [04:25] usser: so to get it back.. just what I was going to say.. [04:25] Scunizi, yep [04:25] What's to load for bluetooth in xubuntu? [04:25] pixelated, a VT? [04:26] usser: done.. worked .. of course.. [04:27] amy_, virtual terminal (hit crtl+alt+F1) type on it see if it shows then use crtl+alt+F7 (or F8) to get back to X [04:27] luddite: where is your 8.10 root ?? paste the out from : sudo fdisk -l [04:27] Why is it whe I try the DEB_BUILD command in http://java.dzone.com/tips/32-bit-jdk-a-64-bit-ubuntu-sys it doesnt output a correct file? [04:27] It says "No matching plugin found" [04:28] pixelated, it doesn't work [04:28] amy: did you enable bios support in your bios ? [04:28] Alright, let's pray this works... I'm installing to a USB stick so I can get it on my netbook [04:29] So what are the bluetooth utils that should work with xubuntu? [04:29] any 1 know how to speed up HFS http file server? [04:29] Kikkomaso: you sure like soy sauce [04:29] fogobogo: You know it, man [04:29] 8U [04:29] i prefer la choy [04:29] fbc, anything bluetooth, bluez and gnome-bluetooth in synaptic [04:30] amy_: if so, check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=792562 [04:30] hi all. i'm trying to configure a powerline ethernet switch that whose utility will only work in a windows environment. anyone know how to make virtual box recognize a device plugged into the ethernet port? [04:33] nothing moving.. did I get disconnected? [04:33] if you did i wouldn't see that [04:34] usser, i didn't want anything that uses gnome or gnome binaries. Doesn't the xubuntu project include bluetooth programs? [04:34] just everyone stopped talking.. I have messages turned off.. did we have a netsplit? [04:34] i think so [04:34] Hey everyone, I was reading this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1021120 and was getting the 401 error. However, I can't seem to find the settings.json file. Anyone know where that is tucked away? [04:35] so i just installed ubuntu 8.10 on this dell gx260. another 260 with very similar hardware works fine, but this one just freezes when it boots. i can move the mouse, but the keyboard is completely unresponsive. [04:35] anyone know how to configure virtual box so it can connect to a device via the ethernet port (example powerline switch or router) for configuration? [04:35] remu: sudo updatedb && locate >filename< [04:35] russ5811, the easiest is just setting up a NAT device. [04:36] arrrghhh, how does one do that? [04:36] i don't have virtual box in front of me, but i'm sure it's in the docs. just add a network device in the options for that particular vm. [04:36] russ5811: virtual box assumes you have a different OS loaded in it like windows. if windows is loaded and can access the internet you should be able to reach the router with the router ip address.. [04:37] DasEI1: when I do that, it just takes the cursor to the next line with out showing me where the file is located. [04:37] now if you need it to operate as a "physical" card... that's more difficult. [04:37] i can access the internet, however, when i plug in my ethernet switch, it doesn't detect it [04:37] (after unplugging ethernet connected to net [04:37] anyone please help me ... i have problem installing lgtk-x11-2.0 [04:37] russ5811, is there a dhcp server hooked up to the switch somewhere? [04:38] anyboddy know how to make aq bootable usb XP instalation for a net book with ibex? [04:38] no, it's a powerline switch [04:38] russ5811: why not plug the eternet switch into the router and access it through that.. should have it's own unique address. [04:38] russ5811: what's a powerline switch? [04:38] puts my network in the powerlines of the house...power outlets [04:38] niko__, usb xp install? no. [04:39] Anyone can help me?? [04:39] i installed ubuntu 9.04 and now i have no minimize/maximize/close buttons on my windows [04:39] any idea how to fix [04:39] niko__, even if it's possible... which it may be... with some embedded setup but either way, this is not the room to ask that. [04:39] have an empty msi and need to install xp to it [04:39] russ5811: ah.. so really it should be hooked up to the router (I'm thinking) [04:39] andrew__: 9.04 is not supported yet, as it's not even released yet. Questions in #ubuntu+1, please. [04:39] andrew__, this room for production ubuntu. 8.10. [04:39] russ5811: do the instructions give you a unique ip address for accessing it? [04:39] it is a ubuntu question [04:40] well, the router is hooked up to a powerline adapter, the pc connects to anothe powerline adapter so it can communicate with the router. [04:40] Anyone can help me?? [04:40] the box i'm trying to add goes in another outlet to essentially split the signal to 4 more devices [04:40] jtek: hey man [04:40] jtek: people quit and join and talk constantly [04:41] #xubuntu [04:41] russ5811, i've heard those powerline switches are very poor... not only crap bandwidth (12mbps max) but they're expensive and dodgy... [04:41] jtek: easy to loose track of what is going on [04:41] jtek: possibly 10 conversations at once [04:41] anyone please help me ... i have problem installing lgtk-x11-2.0 [04:41] i'm getting 150 mbps and streaming HD much better than my wireless [04:41] powerline doesn't do 150mbps. [04:41] ccherrett tell me about it [04:42] jtek: :) [04:42] says so on the box...actually 200, but i'm only getting 150 [04:42] come funziona [04:42] ? [04:42] russ5811: ah ok.. I get it .. you're computer won't actually "see" it in the classic sense.. it should be invisible to the computer.. just a connection to the router.. if you're not connecting to the router through the powerline adaptors then there may be some additional setup on the initial adaptor that plugs into the main router. [04:42] i am trying to install ubuntu 8.10 from a mini cd on to a compact flash ide adaptor. the install seems to have worked but when i boot i get an error saying "grub loading stage1.5Read error" [04:43] nice [04:43] sorry [04:43] scunizi, you got it [04:43] a [04:43] i don't need net connnectivity to configure this box. just need my vm to see it, so i can configure it [04:43] russ5811: so on the main adaptor plugged into the router.. does that have a unique IP address for setup? [04:44] Ok here we go [04:44] how to install lgtk-x11-2.0 package? [04:44] any idea?? [04:44] if so, i don't know how to find it. it's "invisible" to my network. it is basically like having a really long cat5 from my pc to my router [04:44] russ5811: do you have to configure each powerline adaptor used for each computer? [04:44] sophi: is it in synaptic? [04:44] I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 to my aspire one, and everything has worked; unfortunately now it says "udevd-event [1496]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit [04:45] does anybody have install the xubuntu8.10 on the x60? [04:45] russ5811-> can you draw the network layout? pictures are worth a thousand words... [04:45] sure n8tuserf but how to show you? [04:45] if I am trying to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10, what entries should I have in my sources.list file? is there anyplace to find a copy of that file that points to the correct locations? I have tried various things (including adding the three entries found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades) and nothing has worked... it's hard to know what is right or wrong when I can't find any clear picture of what I am supposed to have i [04:45] n sources.list [04:45] I have some problems on my x60 vga. [04:45] russ5811-> post it in a page where it accepts jpeg [04:45] how must the /home directory be chowned ?? [04:46] ok, give me a minute, i'll put it on picasa [04:46] i did # chown user:user /home/user [04:46] but it said as a warning that i must own the home directory and whatnot [04:46] Geri: i tried searching lgtk-x11-2.0 in synaptic but i dint find [04:46] foolz-> do a fresh install, not an upgrade, upgrade usually have problems [04:46] russ5811: Honestly, the easiest way is to bring the adaptor's with you to a friend's house and use Windows to configure it. We ended up using my dad's laptop. [04:46] n8tuserf: let me see if I can explain for russ5811 .. wall to internet modem to router to powerline adaptor.. move to anywhere in the house and plug in another powerline adaptor and plug the computer into that.. viola internet connection.. if it's configured correctly [04:47] Scunizi: yes, you have to do each adaptor once, but after that it doesn't matter. [04:47] scunizi, you got it [04:47] tonyyarusso: what do you actually "do" to the adaptor? [04:47] n8tuserf - yeah, I will probably give up soon and do a fresh install... I was just hoping to get the upgrade to work since I am assuming the fresh install will just present me with its own set of issues (just based on my past experiences, hehe) [04:47] problem is, adding switch to the existing network requires configuration.. but can't access the utils on a linux box [04:48] russ5811: is there a program that installs on windows for configuration? [04:48] Scunizi: I think you set a "channel" or similar configuration and a "password", so they only talk to each other, not random stuff upstream along the power grid (ie, snooping neighbors). [04:48] yes, i put it in my win 7 vm, but back to the problem of the vm not "seeing" the switch via the ethernet conn [04:48] tonyyarusso: ah.. kinda like WPA type protection [04:48] if I do choose to do a clean install, do I have to uninstall my current Ubuntu installation first, or can I just burn an 8.10 installation CD or whatever, and overwrite my current install? I have been letting my linux knowledge stagnate lately... === Gerinyche is now known as Gerinych [04:48] Scunizi: kinda, yeah [04:49] foolz-> create a new partition for the newer os [04:49] russ5811: I mean .. is there software that has to be installed on windows to program the adaptor? [04:49] Geri: i tried searching lgtk-x11-2.0 in synaptic but i dint find [04:49] scunizi. yes there is. and i installed it in my vm [04:49] Question guys, how do i check to see what kinda of video card i have, running ubuntu 8.10, also how do i know if i have the correct driver for the video card [04:50] houstond: lspci should give you that information. [04:50] lspci? [04:50] houstond: it's a command. [04:50] Geri: i have pasted log here--- http://paste.ubuntu.com/116692/ [04:50] gocha [04:50] houstond -> try sudo ddcprobe [04:50] so what should i try first? lspci or sudo ddcprobe? [04:51] how to install lgtk-x11-2 [04:51] houstond -> correct driver is relative if you are able to view the resolution you need, then it is working, its working or not [04:51] any idea?? [04:51] russ5811: could be a win7 problem.. firewall.. permissions etc.. if you can take that same machine directly to the router and win7 can make a connection to the internet through the linux host then the adaptor should also be seen.. make sense? [04:51] any idea?? [04:51] i am trying to install ubuntu 8.10 from a mini cd on to a compact flash ide adaptor. the install seems to have worked but when i boot i get an error saying "grub loading stage1.5Read error" [04:51] sophi: it says that because the package's not in synaptic [04:52] um heres the thing, im gettin World of warcraft on my pc, its on and running, just a lil slow. the forums said that could be cause by not having the correct driver [04:52] can we use rsync so it --delete just on one side, the destination [04:52] it does, the win7 vm and a winxp vm "see" the router through firefox and IE, however, these stupid config utils don't "see" the switch when it takes the place of the router...follow? [04:52] n8tuserf, if I installed the newer OS on a separate partition, wouldn't that take up more room? [04:53] but it said as a warning that i must own the home directory and whatnot [04:53] russ5811: yep.. do you have more than one adaptor? if so make a switch and see if the adaptor just has an issue. [04:53] Gerinych: so i cant install those package? [04:53] are there any mods that can change my whois to hide the user? [04:54] sophi: im not sure if it exists, what's the package for? [04:54] how do I install a debian package thats 32 bit on a 64 bit machine? [04:54] whats the command for it dkpg --force? [04:54] scunizi, i'll try that and come back if necessary. thanks for helping [04:54] draginxx: Step 1: You run Debian. [04:54] tonyskapunk, sorry meant ubuntu [04:54] thanks to everyone else who tried to help so far too! [04:54] tonyyarusso, * [04:54] russ5811: np.. good luck.. I just wish they didn't have propriatory software like that. drives me nuts. [04:54] draginxx: 'k. :) You install ia32libs and use --force-architecture iirc. [04:54] danke [04:55] and --force-arch thanks D [04:55] so i ran the first command, got info about my video card, so i assume its running fine, anyone here familiar with setting up wow on ubuntu? [04:55] does anyone know if ubuntu 8.10 can be installed on a compact flash disk and an IDE-compact flash adaptor? [04:55] any ops on? [04:55] russ5811: bitter.. sp? [04:55] bitte [04:55] houstond, what problem are you having? [04:55] Gerinych: its for a displaying video in firefox browser [04:55] russ5811: schuss? [04:56] what is the compatability like with the newest imacs? im thinking about getting an 24" imac and running ubuntu on it [04:56] its just running a little slow marfi, [04:56] having issues configuring, error message: checking for jpeg_start_compress in -ljpeg... no [04:56] configure: error: zm requires libjpeg.a [04:56] houstond, whats the output of glxgears? [04:56] Marfi: most of those things are just settings in your IRC client - check the prefs and documentation for that. [04:56] I've worked out every other problem so far === sanjud is now known as n8tuserff [04:56] the only thing i cant fix is it running a little slow [04:56] houstond, try to run it with the -opengl flag. wine Wow.exe -opengl . that works for me [04:56] russ5811: it's been a lot of years but I lived in deutchland for 3 years in my late teens and early 20's [04:56] how do i create a samba share that is readable, writeable, and executable for everyone on the network? [04:57] tonyskapunk, alright, ill check it out. thanks [04:57] i'm only beginning to study it [04:57] i have it setup for opengl and it turns on and runs, just really low fps [04:57] Louis_, right click, share?

[05:06] houstond, type lspci. what is the video adapter? [05:06] ubuntu_: maybe if you have enough ram.. the cd doesn't touch your HD. [05:06] Is there an easy way to use the desktop CD to install ubuntu, but include an optional way to use the install as a server install? [05:07] Scunizi: its on my usb [05:07] vostibackle: you install the desktop and then after you can install LAMP for the server portion [05:07] Louis_, http://pastebin.com/m7b9df3ef [05:07] Scunizi: and i have 4 gb of ram [05:07] ubuntu_: still RAM dependant [05:07] ubuntu_: try.. [05:07] Marfi: thanks a lot [05:08] Scunizi: ok is it posible this will mess up my start up usb [05:08] I mean as regards user login and turning off x and whatever else has to be done [05:08] sophi: what ubuntu do you have [05:08] Louis_, np [05:08] ubuntu_: no.. shouldn't [05:08] Gerinych: Xubuntu [05:08] uh [05:08] sophi: ok, what version [05:08] what happened? [05:08] Scunizi: also i will be useing this on other computers i know the driver will only work on this one do you think ill have problems if i use it on other computer [05:08] can i remove the symbolic link emblem from a folder? [05:08] freenode doesn't split! [05:09] lol [05:09] anyway, how can I do a "press any key to continue" in a bash script? [05:09] i don't think i have ever been kicked off by a split [05:09] vostibackle -> i dont know, but try to install with debootstrap within livecd and then you get to pick and choose which package to install with tasksel [05:09] Marfi, you don't get kicked off, to them it looks like we got kicked off [05:09] Scunizi: Thanks alot, got Grub back. Was too lazy to disconnect my other drives after installing xubuntu to usb [05:09] that's why it's called a split [05:10] tsrk, ah, ok [05:10] Gerinych: 8.10 [05:12] how do i change my whois information? [05:13] lol, wow [05:16] anyone know if there is a fix for intel gm965 video tearing? [05:17] how to install lgtk-x11-2 [05:18] Gerinych: 8.10 [05:22] looks like a big split [05:24] n8tuserff yes, so really there is a bunch of crap I don't need but as I said it was the only legit version of windows I had that I could dual boot under VMWare [05:24] SJrX, wish i had 2003... i am just stuck with XP and vista [05:24] lol? [05:24] SJrX -> perhaps you can disable several server services on windows 2003 and see if it will pick up [05:24] anyone know if there is a fix for intel gm965 video tearing? [05:24] yup, any idea of how to get the ubuntu cube? i forget it is sudo apt get compiz something? [05:25] Can't find any on the site u gave me afaik [05:25] n8tuserff Hmmmmm I dunno I guess it could also be VMWare, cause it seems like CPU Usage is either 0% or 100% and dead slow. [05:25] SJrX -> possibly yeah.. its trial and error kind of thing to tune it to your liking [05:26] Any idea of how to get the ubuntu cube? i forget it is sudo apt get compiz something? [05:26] how to install lgtk-x11-2 [05:27] a555, sudo apt-get install compiz [05:27] Can someone help me with a problem about using wireless internet on ubuntu? [05:27] a555 probly 'sudo apt-get install compiz*' [05:27] Ubuntu Cube? You might need the compiz manager [05:27] i have compiz but not option for the cube, i had it before [05:27] i've got an external HDD that has been fscking for about 48 hours. i dont care about the data, i'm pretty sure its all trashed anyway.. but is this normal? [05:27] ok so i went to the website for my laptop and the drivers they offer are for windows only i think [05:27] a555, you could also go to add/remove type in compiz manager and install that [05:27] its been asking me if I want to clony multiplied locks every once in awhile [05:28] Voox that is how i originally installed it [05:28] So what shall I do? [05:28] andre_pl, it is uncommon but is possible... [05:28] houstond: look in system>admin>synaptic package manager .. search for your brand of card [05:28] with two NIC cards I wouldn't set the "gateway" for each NIC in the interfaces file? [05:28] a555, if you have compiz manager, to go system->preferences->compiz manager options (forgot the name) and enable the cube there [05:28] I would just have one gateway? [05:29] newmember, yes, for your primary inet access [05:29] pixelated: ty [05:29] newmember, yes one for your... etc [05:29] pixelated: the drive has been "traumatized" a bit. tried to do some repartitioning and cancelled because gparted appeared to be frozen after 3-4 hours of doing absolutely nothing, but I think it just trashed the disk, leaving it in this sorry state [05:29] its not sudo apt-get compiz there is more at the end of compiz, i am pretty sure [05:29] yes one gateway [05:30] a555 probly 'sudo apt-get install compiz*' [05:30] andre_pl, then it would probly be best to wipe and redo [05:31] a555, are you talking about "compizconfig-settings-manager" ? [05:31] Any1 here knows anytool that I could use for offline browsing? (saving an entire site to database) [05:31] I really need the help [05:31] overlord, yes that is it the * also worked.. thank you! ;-) [05:31] =) [05:31] a555, should have done it the first time i suggested it ;') [05:31] pixelated: whats the best way to do that without having to wait another 48 hours, I just want a clean empty ext3 drive again [05:32] andre_pl, repartition it, is it your boot disk? [05:32] pixelated, i did just took a second to get back used to linux :P [05:32] Is there a way to put my system monitor on my task bar? [05:32] I want to monitor my CPU and RAM usage [05:32] And it would be nice to monitor the video card as well [05:32] pixelated: no its a usb drive. when I tried to repartition with gparted it just hung for hours. :S [05:33] mikeshollen: right mouse click while pointed at the task bar and choose Add.. look for system monitor and "add" .. [05:33] mikeshollen, right click task bar and add applet (?) [05:33] andre_pl, use fdisk in a terminal [05:34] mikeshollen:right-click on the panel, add prog ..., graca isn't mentionded in most defaults, might experiement with conky or gkrellm/lmsensors for that [05:34] anyone getting video tearing with intel integrated gfx? [05:34] pixelated: will do, just waiting for fsck to die now, its being an arse. [05:34] Voox, tearing? [05:35] I'm off here.. no help here [05:35] pixelated, yeah, like horizontal halves when lots of movement occurs [05:35] pixelated, almost as if it doesnt refresh fast enough [05:35] whats tjhe best xwindows based mp3 player?

[05:37] Can I get a few people's opinions? I am possibly interested in building a Linux Lab for my school. The systems I would have available to me would be P4, 333mhz ram, 4xAGP slot but standard integrated intel graphics. These systems currently have 128MB of ram. I would like to upgrade the ram and graphics card so they can smoothly run Ubuntu, push a 22 inch monitor and game. Would you go with 1 or 2GB of ram (I am having [05:37] Voox, check if dri is activated and using hardware acceleration [05:38] P4 2GHz systems* [05:38] so would you all say amarok is the most popular? [05:38] what's dri? [05:38] !google dri [05:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about google dri [05:38] sk8ball: it's one of the most popular ones, yep [05:38] you all with all your command bots dont have one with a google script [05:38] sk8ball: amarok is very popular. but will pull in a bunch of KDE libs if you dont already have them. personally I like Exaile (sp?) [05:38] mikeshollen, heh are they Dell systems? then i have one here... ;') i would say put 1GB ram in them [05:38] * sk8ball shakes head [05:39] so ... I'm going to attempt ndiswrappering, but how does one extract drivers from installation exe's without having a windows machine with the card in question to install them on? [05:39] what about audacious [05:39] pixalated: they're IBM NetVistas [05:39] sk8ball: what about it? [05:39] !google > sk8ball [05:39] sk8ball, please see my private message [05:39] i just want one with good implemntation of the coedcs and a fuckn playlist === rip_ is now known as Veratyr9 [05:39] I mean, the extra ram is pretty darn cheap [05:39] Voox, direct rendering interface, its where things are drawn on the screen with the hardware of the GPU instead of the cpu doing the work [05:40] like a old skool winamp 2.81 [05:40] But I'm really wondering if it's going to do anything at all [05:40] sk8ball: then try audacious [05:40] how do i force quit a program in ubuntu? like task manager in windows. firefox decided to stay open after i closed all the windows out [05:40] sk8ball: you can use old winamp skins on it, too. [05:40] i dont need to organize by id3 tags and all that shite [05:40] sk8ball : winamp even runs under wine [05:40] mikeshollen, going from 128 to 1GB will do alot, 1-2 wont be really noticable... [05:40] is there an application for maneging the quick launch keys on my laptop? [05:40] das, fuck wine [05:40] #mplayer [05:40] i can boot the windows machine [05:40] for windows [05:40] !language > sk8ball [05:40] sk8ball, please see my private message [05:40] !040 [05:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about 040 [05:41] !o4o [05:41] Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu.

Microsoft software in ##windows (Please note Freenode Policy) [05:41] Das, go recompile your kernel or something [05:42] Good Evening, is there any way I can see my Bluetooth password in terminal? [05:42] for the purposes of ndiswrapper, how does one extract wifi drivers from installation exe's without having a windows machine with the card in question to install them on? [05:43] Is there any way I can see my own PC Bluetooth password in terminal? [05:43] Hornet, it should be able to extract from a exe the driver [05:43] how do i force quit a program in ubuntu? like task manager in windows. firefox decided to stay open after i closed all the windows out [05:43] Veratyr9: you can use killall command in terminal [05:43] Hornet:if it's just the extraction, wine shall do it [05:43] kill -9 ! [05:44] sophi, i think i found the packages that can help [05:44] sopgi: libgtkextra-x11-2.0-1 [05:44] Is there any way I can see my own PC Bluetooth password in terminal? [05:44] !ndiswrapper | Hornet [05:44] Hornet: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:44] ah, going to be fun installing wine without internet access :\ === Tidus_ is now known as Tidus [05:44] I've read the manual, thanks [05:44] Hornet: ups, catch 22 [05:44] killall eh? is this gonna be like the last answer of ctrl+alt+backspace? lol [05:45] Veratyr9: pkill firefox, or killall firefox [05:45] Next question, what about a video card? I could leave it with the intel integrated graphics but I assume it'll suck with compiz and games. I could pick up an FX5200 card for about $35 with 256MB ram, or I could get a 6200 with 512MB video ram for about $55. There's also a 7600GT w/512MB of ram for $110. However the motherboard only supports 4xAGP (not 8). What do you think I should use for gaming? [05:45] thx [05:45] hello everyone [05:45] Veratyr9: nope, it just kill all childprocesses of a parent, too [05:45] I am trying to write my own start/stop script. What does this mean? start-stop-daemon: Unable to set gid to 1001 (Operation not permitted) [05:45] Gerinych: it is already installed in my system. [05:45] Veratyr9: Nop, Ctrl+alt+backspace is for restaring graphics, killall is to close applications [05:46] newmember: did you make the script executable ? [05:46] vera [05:46] goto terminal [05:46] ps -A | grep firefox [05:46] kill -9 pid [05:46] mikeshollen, do the machines have a agp slot? [05:46] pid being the pid associated with the process [05:46] got it, thanks guys [05:46] kill -9 `pgrep firefox` [05:46] or you could just open the process manager [05:46] lots of ways to do it :) [05:46] pixelated: they're 4xAGP, would you like a link to the machine's stats? [05:46] Is there any way I can see my own PC Bluetooth password in terminal? [05:47] mikeshollen, sure [05:47] the more ways the better [05:47] you don't have to kill -9 it, unless it refuses to die by other means [05:47] DasEI1: -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1523 2009-02-10 20:19 alfresco [05:47] prince, why give it a chance [05:47] just force the kill [05:47] Can I take this to a IM pixelated? [05:47] DasEI1: so the script is exec, I am going to check the program folder [05:47] sk8ball: because you don't give firefox a chance to clean up with -9 [05:47] mikeshollen, sure [05:47] newmember: so only root can run it (sudo) [05:48] DasEI1: I think I want it root because its in my init.d folder. I have the applicaiton running starting under a user 1001 [05:49] prince, as in garbage collection/memory clean up [05:49] or just its own bs? [05:49] sk8ball: yes, and temp files [05:49] newmember: ok, chmod 775 tried ? [05:49] sk8ball: stuff it would clean up if killed with less radical signals [05:49] ok i've searched the toshiba website and googled. i cant find out where to download my video card driver for linux [05:50] sk8ball: kill -9 is like throwing a grenade at it ;) [05:50] doesnt the kernel end up cleaning up stray garbage at some point? [05:50] i have 3 gateways on my subnet. (192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3) can i use three of them at the same time as a one connection? (merging their bandwiths in to one big pipe) ? [05:50] can someone point me in the right direction? [05:51] DasEI1: good thought, I changed the permisions on the folder the program was in and it worked [05:51] houstond : what is your videocard? [05:51] Anyone ever heard of Data.Data? [05:51] !yay | newmember [05:51] newmember: Glad you made it! :-) [05:52] houstond: stop thinking that you have to be on the web to get the driver for your card.. It may already be available in ubuntu just not activated yet.. let meshuggah know what kind of card and he can probably help you. [05:52] d [05:53] DasEI1: how do I make the start script start automatically when the server starts? [05:53] prince, doesnt the kernel end up cleaning up stray garbage at some point? [05:53] hey guys ihave ubuntu prblem [05:53] newmember: put it in /etc/rc.local [05:53] ras, ok [05:53] atleast dont ask to ask [05:53] ihave problem [05:53] just fuckn ask [05:53] with login window [05:54] the most they can do is tell you to fuck off [05:54] hey guys [05:54] ad give you some little !command about chan rules [05:54] wired letters appears in error message [05:54] newmember: or ask again here to integrate in init's runlevel, I gtg now [05:54] i tried [05:54] DasEI1: ty [05:54] the terminal [05:54] to reinstall login [05:54] anyone heard of 64studio? running off of debian and ubuntu [05:54] * sk8ball smacks prince_jjammys [05:54] but nothing [05:54] * sk8ball smacks prince_jammys [05:54] !enter | ras2 [05:54] ras2: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[05:55] what should i install to make mplayer work better with video? i'm using opengl as an output driver but it's slow [05:55] ok [05:55] prince, memory wise [05:55] the system ccannot connect to the net itried ipup --force [05:55] but also not thing [05:56] sk8ball: probably, but you rarely have to kill -9. the kernel's not going to delete temporary dirs and files, or whatever other crap the program would otherwise take care of before quitting [05:56] prince, well of course [05:56] how can i connect to the net through terminal to fix my problems [05:56] but firefox conviniently enough will do that for you on next execution [05:56] sk8ball: if the program will only quit with kill -9, it's usually a crap program [05:57] prince, do you use firefox? [05:57] ras2: did you install the sshd server? [05:57] sk8ball: not any more. i use opera [05:57] id do not know [05:57] but ithink yes [05:58] who has the highest acid test scroe these days [05:58] any idea prince?

[06:25] !cn [06:25] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道: #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [06:25] what benefits do 64bit have to offer? [06:26] JPSman: for 'regular people'? More address space for RAM [06:27] Flannel - yeah, I suppose I am a regular person. What does it offer for processing speed? [06:28] hey [06:28] hi [06:28] i'm trying out intrepid [06:28] Synaptic: "The scripts in the DEB program package 'initscripts' initialize a standard #debian GNU/Linux system at boot time and finalize it at halt or reboot time." How is halt time defined? [06:28] JPSman: No (well, not directly), but with the wider datawidth, you can do larger computations faster, and also the architecture itself has a number of improvements, lack of register starvation, etc. But for the stuff most people do, the biggest benefit is that you have have more RAM (more than 3.2ish GB) [06:28] glad they solved smb and geforce4 problems [06:28] i have an external ext3 hard drive, and i was wondering what the easiest way to mount it is, so that regular users can have write access to it, any one have any ideas? [06:28] but i notice it's quite cpu consuming!! [06:29] Flannel - right now I have 2 gigs, so your saying that it would increase the ram and address registration because it has a "wider" path than 32 bit? [06:31] Flannel, 32bit os is limited to only 3.2 ? thought it could handle closer to 4 [06:32] yeah, I decided against it, I dont know what programs i would be running that can use 64 bit anyhow [06:32] hi icecream [06:32] hi ice_cream [06:32] night yall [06:32] hi [06:32] :-) [06:32] JPSman you can move a 64bit word on a 64 bit machine in one execution [06:33] if i change a user's default shell to something like /bin/false, will it prevent the user from logging into Gnome via GDM?

(My native language is not English.) [07:11] I'm trying to come up with a solution for running Photoshop on Ubuntu. I've heard that under WINE, CS2 works pretty well, and CS3 and CS4 are coming up. Crossover Linux (codeweavers) says they run it perfect. Is there that much of a difference? Does anyone run Photoshop (any version)? I'm on Ubuntu 8.10, intrepid ibex. [07:11] bullgard4: Halt is part of shutdown [07:11] i installed ubuntu 8.10 onto a compact flash disk using an IDE adaptor. it's getting the error "GRUB Stage1.5Reading Error" when I boot. I took out the card and have put it into a different computer (this one, running ubuntu 8.10) and have the ability to look at its insides. is there anything i can look at to see what the problem is? [07:12] Canaen: have you tried the gimp for your graphic editing needs? [07:12] Canaen: The only Platinum (worthwile) CS of Photoshop is CS1, its the only guaranteed work with WINE, use gimp... [07:12] it does most of what photoshop does and does it without the need to emulate it [07:12] And its awesomer [07:13] you can even save to psd if you need to [07:13] :) [07:13] MeVsTheVoices: Shutdown is a rather long and complicated process. What part of it is halt in it? === aaditya is now known as dragon_ [07:14] My problem with GIMP is that it doesn't seem to do what I need it to do. I mean, I know how to do the things I want in photoshop, and not in GIMP [07:14] The tools just aren't as precise [07:14] or clean [07:15] bullgard4: Halt is the very last thing called by shutdown (usually) if it is specified that it should be called (-h or -H) else poweroff will be called, shutting off the computer [07:15] Canaen: make a suggestion here and it might be considered soon - http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ [07:16] Whens next version due out? [07:17] MeVsTheVoices: Ah! Thank you very much for explaining. [07:17] MeVsTheVoices: of Ubuntu? April. [07:17] bullgard4: No prob! [07:17] rww: Damn, not too shabby [07:17] dragon: thanks for the link! [07:17] Canaen: you're welcome [07:17] MeVsTheVoices: Why do you say CS1 is the only worthwhile under WINE? [07:18] Canaen: Its the only one that won't frustrate the hell out of you, it works perfectly out of the box is what I'm saying, all the others have serious compatability issues [07:19] hello all [07:19] HERRO PREEZ! [07:19] is their a program out there for Ubuntu that Joins FLV video files? [07:20] MeVsTheVoices: Thanks! The WINE website really talks up its compatibility with newer photoshops. It's nice to get another opinion [07:20] MeVsTheVoices: my son is really good with linux, but he moved to texas. i got this new used monitor and i'm trying to get it to where i can see it better.

[07:22] exgllo: wifi does work, it just takes tweaking [07:23] exgllo: I imagine that would depend on what type of Wifi card you have. [07:23] Not from the sources I'm talking to so far everyones agreeing that Ubuntu's wifi sucks [07:23] and I've been tweaking on it for 4 hours [07:24] how do i shot web? === exgllo is now known as UbuntuWifiFails [07:25] Ubuntu``: then youll be glad to know that our laptop works fine on it [07:26] where i can find termianl [07:26] terminal [07:26] I'm trying to set some keycodes for my keyboard, but setkeycodes seems to end up with a different key than what I set: eg sudo setkeycodes e017 225, then when I use xev it says keycode 233 for that same key [07:26] !terminal [07:26] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[08:02] UbuntuWifiFails: hows it coming along? [08:03] i think i've got a strange one for you guys... i compiled vsftpd 2.0.7 with ssl support for interoperability with Filezilla, and all went well. I copied the binary to /usr/sbin, when i run it i get errors telling me ssl support is not compiled in.... but if i run the binary from the build directory, it works fine... what the heck am i missing? [08:04] it's getting copied over correctly... md5sum on /usr/sbin/vsftpd and the one in the build directory are the same [08:04] oh just installing wicd now [08:05] doing the reboot it recommends [08:05] UbuntuWifiFails: ok [08:06] Crshman: Congrats, you have a confirmed bug [08:06] MeVsTheVoices: That was my next course of action haha...

[08:13] k sec [08:13] amikrop: no prob [08:14] boogywoogy: If you just want to tweak that particular behavior, install compizconfig-settings-manager, and you will get fine grained control over the behavior of compiz [08:14] hi there all i am having some trouble with my xubuntu install when i load it there are no panels and i cant right click on the desk top i can get to a tty and suggestions please === kb is now known as Guest6231 [08:18] i am unable t load firefox in vmware [08:19] does linux cache recently used binaries in path? running /usr/sbin/vsftpd works right, just running vsftpd gives me "ssl support not compiled in" [08:19] has anyone used octave before? [08:19] ubottu: anyone | mattycoze [08:19] mattycoze: 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? [08:20] is there a gui frontend for octave? [08:21] looks like matlab? [08:21] The NetworkManager applet could not find some required resources. It cannot continue [08:21] robbe it is similar. actually is matlab available for linux? [08:21] UbuntuWifiFails: you installed from deb? [08:22] i read somewhere that it was... but it's proprietary software right? [08:22] yes [08:22] QUESTION: can tint2 have a feature or plugin installed so that it can display the main menu and a tray for icons? [08:22] mattycoze: I think it is available, and yes it is proprietary as far as i know [08:22] don't know of any front-end for octave tho :) [08:22] let me reboot again [08:22] robbe grr... i see; oh well i might have better luck running a windows SPSS through wine [08:23] *rrrr* spss :p [08:23] *rrrrr*?

[08:26] mattycoze: ok, then octave is you best bet. perhaps wxMaxima can handle it (GUI), it is similat to Mathematica (Wolfram research) [08:26] yea [08:26] wicd managers up [08:26] UbuntuWifiFails: alright, did it see any networks right off the bat? [08:26] so octave has a GUI? [08:27] (@ rakudave) [08:27] nope [08:28] hello [08:28] mattycoze: no, octave itself doesn't, but there are projects such as YetAnotherOctaveGui, see yaog.sourceforge.net [08:28] oh i see [08:28] cool! [08:28] Any suggestions for user-friendly ways to make good-looking charts and graphs?

[08:35] kosnick: ok then you might try to uninstall 2.6.27. this should regenerate the grub menu inserting the old kernel. [08:35] UbuntuWifiFails, it's not only that, but what about compatability with the other OS's, most drivers are just for windows, not to mention the legal issues that could arise out of that [08:35] UbuntuWifiFails: there was a catch to this that i'm trying to remember [08:35] rakudave : "should"??? [08:36] UbuntuWifiFails: that would be "Linux" [08:37] kosnick: i suppose... i always keep up to 3 kernels in my grub in case the new kernel messes things up, so i've never tried this myself ^^ [08:37] l me too i've done this before and it's not just ubuntu but all os's piss me off with their lack of network compatibility out of the box [08:37] rakudave : all right, thank you for your time [08:38] huh?

I can kill wpa_supplicant and spawn it using cli and my custom conf file just fine. just nm-applet wont do it. the problem is, vmware doenst recognize my network device then and therefore no net in xp :s [09:01] hmm, confusing koshari [09:01] but it wont run [09:01] I've install samba and used the smbpasswrd -a user and set a password [09:01] although that's just for samba server isn't it [09:01] mandrig, done i registered :) [09:01] crdlb: Here it is--> http://paste.ubuntu.com/116727/ [09:02] hemanth: and you already have apache2 and sftp installed? [09:02] mandrig, yes :) [09:02] hemanth: then continue with ddclient [09:02] ok [09:02] mandrig, ok [09:02] primski: well, I don't think nm can accept a wpa_supplicant.conf, but you should file a bug if nm doesn't support your network [09:03] crdlb. ok thanks, i'll do that. === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [09:03] crdlb...i was thinking...where does nm get it default settings? hardcoded? it must take somesort of conf file, no ?

[09:59] shankhs: :) [10:01] I think there is a bug in bzr which prevents it from passing through proxy... How can I download the source code of bazaar then? [10:01] rakudave - what exactly do you mean? [10:01] yes, compiz is enabled [10:02] What's the best way to take an image of an ubuntu server (for hdd failure) [10:02] marius222: sorry :) this means that if you change the metacity theme, it might not change the compiz theme, depending on your settings [10:02] does anyone know if ubuntu is installed in c:\ubuntu? [10:02] ... [10:02] shouldn't be [10:02] blueraven: there is no c:/ in linux ^^ [10:02] LOL [10:02] because that's the directory I see in windows [10:03] blueraven: if you're using wubi, Ubuntu is installed there, yes [10:03] hi [10:03] ah [10:03] wubi sounds lame [10:03] linux is not windows [10:03] ext3 ftw [10:04] Ethos: use partimage for partitions and/or clonezilla for the whole disc [10:04] nothing worse than having a windows machine screw up your thumb drive partition [10:04] thanks erUSUL :) [10:04] Hey ,how to install ventrilo on ubuntu 2.1.4 version? who can help me? [10:06] feintoR: sudo apt-get install ventrilo not working? [10:06] shankhs: I don't have install ventrilo,can you help me? [10:06] feintoR: do you know how to compile from the source? [10:06] What about synaptic [10:07] rakudave - everything else from metacity theme works, except controls (progress bar, radio buttons, check buttons, scrollbars). In compiz settings there is nothing, that could affect these things as far as i can find [10:07] ventrilo has a Linux version? I didn't think it had when I went looking [10:07] when i try and turn my computer on at the power button it doesn't turn on for another 1-20 minutes, I think its psu, but i can't afford a new one so is there anything i can do? [10:07] shankhs: Maybe you know tauturial? [10:07] it has http://www.ventrilo.com/dlprod.php?id=102 [10:07] It's not done yet, but they are working on a linux version. I checked yesterday [10:07] I need 2.1.4 version :S [10:07] shankhs: that's a server, not the ventrilo client [10:08] Oh right the server.. [10:08] yes server... [10:08] Sorry got a tad excited that they had finally released a client =[ [10:08] i want great a 2.1.4 Ventrilo server on Ubuntu. [10:08] feintoR: read this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=323939 [10:08] marius222: then it might be that the specific control-theme is not installed correctly or something... (?) [10:08] What can cause 120gb of space to be 'unusable'? [10:09] Last thing I did was to resize the partition, and decrease it's size by 120gb [10:09] now those free 120gb are 'unusable'. also, sorry for not putting it all on one line [10:09] shankhs: i install this.. [10:09] i need ventrilo server 2.1.4 but i don't know how install it. [10:09] :S [10:10] Wizzup: are you talking about the partition you shrunk or the space you freed? [10:10] feintoR: read the link and also README.txt in the source [10:11] Wizzup: not formatted ? [10:11] ciao a tutti italiano [10:11] rakudave - well, it happens even when i do change the preinstalled (standard) themes. So it is not the theme installation issue. And i installed the same theme on other PC's in exactly the same way, and it worked. There is something in this particular PC that prevents theme controls to show up, some settings ovverride it (but only the controls). Is there something like global gtkrc file? [10:11] shankhs: where you see README.txt? [10:11] ko1: It won't allow me to format it, either [10:11] !it | pipasso [10:11] pipasso: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!

[10:13] but i need 2.1.4 version ;s [10:13] where is 2.2 [10:13] Wizzup: not much use to myself atm but thought I'd ask the obvious [10:14] marius222: "metacity --replace" in a terminal and "compiz-start" to start compiz again [10:14] feintoR: do this : 1 extract 2. move to the folder 3. ./ventrilo.srv in the terminal [10:15] feintoR: are u getting me? [10:15] no. [10:15] Wizzup: if your talking about the spaced you freed from the resise did you set it a filesystem? Sorry if im asking stupid questions [10:15] feintoR: have you downloaded it?

Haha. I'll open up good old fdisk soon [10:20] Wizzup: Haven't used that in YEARS! Must of been 12 again xD [10:21] rakudave - no, stopping compiz does not help [10:21] its the pure metacity problem [10:21] Ah, I have never used anything but fdisk, hehe [10:21] anyway ty 4 your help [10:22] I seem to have trashed a raid one (two 18g scsi ) array is there any way to mount and fsck the individual pieces of the array ie sda , sdb etc ? [10:22] How did you 'trash' it, what does it say? Using mdadm? [10:23] marius222: hmm... all themes are located in /home/you/.themes perhaps you can solve the problem by looking in there and see if the theme you intend to activate exists there and has all the parts it requires [10:23] power cycle caused 5 errors on one drive I'm unable to mount the logical volume [10:24] Can't you restore it using the other disk?

Very strange === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys === ngfkwleg is now known as absynth [10:29] marius222: strange... can't think of another explanation... perhaps you might try to download a theme from gnome-look.org and see if this works. if not, it if proof that something is wrong with your metacity [10:30] ko1: I found the problem with my gparted. There are just too many primairy partitions. [10:31] Wizzup: u only get 4 ! :-) [10:31] :) [10:31] ko1: I forgot. ;) [10:32] SAMBA Question.

[10:53] if you install MSN messenger 7 in ubuntu will paltalk work? [10:54] :) [10:54] or is there another less resource intensive way to get paltalk to work? [10:54] Can somebody please help me? My internet stops working over and over even though it says I'm still connected. But when I disable, and then enable the wireless connection, it works fine [10:54] why is it root access in ubuntu is off by default? [10:54] !rootsudo | ociugi [10:54] ociugi: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [10:54] - if that's the only way to get paltalk to work, would someone be able to give me a link to install msn messenger 7? [10:54] because gnome is for dummies [10:54] - like a torrent or something [10:55] Tyrath: Why not use pidgin? [10:55] ociugi: I don't get what you mean, off by default [10:55] [man lsof] Will operating systems covered by lsof but other than Linux call structures equivalent to an inode other than 'inode'? 'man lsof' seems to differentiate between 'inodes' and other 'nodes'. [10:55] Wizzup: I hate GUI messenger clients, the only reason i need paltalk is cause i need to communicate over audio with others in a company that seems to favor paltalk [10:55] you can't access root unless you sudo apt etc...is what he means [10:55] Can somebody please help me? My internet stops working over and over even though it says I'm still connected. But when I disable, and then enable the wireless connection, it works fine [10:56] ociugi: because the root account can be dangerous. I don't know the exact reasons, but if you really want a root termina, try sudo -s -H [10:56] Tyrath: Per http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=3824 , you probably won't have much luck with it. [10:56] i mean it is not available to use the root account [10:56] Tyrath: You could always try and see if it works in wine [10:56] ociugi: because "sudo" does everything you'd want to do with the root account, and is more secure. [10:57] ociugi: have you tried sudo su ? [10:57] ociugi: that puts you into root [10:57] ociugi: and if you're lazy bind an alias and stick it in .bash_aliases [10:57] Tyrath: sudo -i is preferred for that [10:57] rww: k, thanks [10:57] hey all ... ubuntu-xen... ne one know if any scripts to manage domU's creation?

I have a MySQL server running on intrepid, and trying to use it on another machine. Trouble is, I can't connect. On the machine with intrepid, I try to telnet localhost port 3306, goes fine. When i try and telnet the public ip and port 3306, connection is refuesd. I havn't messed with iptables, or anything like that. Do anyone have any clue as to why I can't connect?

[11:10] OriWB: ifconfig should give you a connection rate, or a noise reading [11:11] OriWB: go for a channel with less noise [11:11] OriWB: basically channels 1, 6 and 11 are the main channels for wireless [11:11] Tyrath: How do I change channels [11:11] OriWB: if you log into your router [11:11] No linux-indipendent APT client!? :'( [11:11] !pidgin [11:11] The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others.

KDE apps will show up in your GNOME menu and vice-versa, so things can get a little crowded that way, but it shouldn't break anything. You can install KDE with the kubuntu-desktop package. To remove it, see !puregnome. [11:12] OriWB: but if interference is that could help [11:12] So i can just download Pidgin to ubuntu without extract anything? [11:12] yes [11:12] pidgin should already be in ubuntu [11:12] rww: I was generally just wondering [11:12] pretty sure it's a default app [11:12] Firio: ubuntu comes with pidgin ... [11:12] Wizzup: generally, it works fine and doesn't break anything :) [11:13] hello [11:13] How do I find out where the pidgin is? [11:13] OriWB: there could be a number of explanations. for example, i don't know if this is possible so don't quote me, but the gnome networking program could be conflicting with /etc/network/interfaces [11:13] Hi! My local dns server which only uses it self to look up can resolv external domains. why? :P I don't have any other dns servers [11:13] Firio: Applications > Internet > Pidgin Instant Messenger [11:13] Thanks though. A more serious question now.... I just installed Ubu 8.10, and the restricted drivers come up. I choose to activate one, and it shows a download dialog with 0% for 1 sec approx, then just stops and closes [11:13] Firio: open console , type pidgin & [11:13] well, technically packages always have to be "extracted", but since apt-get and friends usually do that automagically it's not a problem :3 [11:13] Wizzup: do you have any updates or software installations running at the same time? [11:13] none [11:13] OriWB: possibly one could be saying one thing and the other another thing, or something like that, but i don't know if that's actually possible so don't quote me [11:14] OriWB: I'd generally guess the problem is interference [11:14] I'll try to update the default stuff first [11:14] OriWB: also if you have a number of people connecting to your wifi network it could cause problems [11:14] Wizzup: yeah. Do all the updating, then restart, then try again. [11:14] Right [11:14] How do I disable external disk shortcuts on desktop? I've got 3 ntfs-drives mounted and dont want the shourtcuts. :( === ed_ is now known as Guest39439 [11:15] Firio: & means an app is independent from your console window [11:15] Noisek79: There's a tool named Ubuntu Tweak. It can disable that. [11:15] Jonathan_L ok... i'll try that one [11:15] Noisek79: press Alt-F2 and run gconf-editor. Navigate to /apps/nautilus/desktop/ and uncheck volumes_visible. [11:15] Noisek79: It's in the repository, in "Add and remove programs" [11:15] would anyone have a link for MSN messenger 7 with a heap of seeders? [11:15] Pidgin? I can also use Terminal for that [11:15] apparently I need it to get Paltalk working on ubuntu [11:16] You'll have to look a bit among it's settings. [11:16] don't use pidgin, use bitlbee! - less resource intensive! [11:16] I wonder if anyone have bumped into a program or hack that can make an option appear in the gnome context menu of an image file, to convert that image to a set format (for instance 1024pp, jpg)? [11:16] Noisek79: ... or you could just do what I said and not have to install anything :/ [11:16] rww: You win. THANKS [11:16] can anyone explain why smplayer (being a qt app) works better in ubuntu than it does it kubuntu???? [11:16] Noisek79: You're welcome :) [11:16] never heard of bitlbee [11:17] !bitlbee [11:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about bitlbee [11:17] bah [11:17] Noisek79: Do'h. [11:17] Oh.. first I was told I could use pidgin,now I am told not to use it.. Shall I use pidgin or wine and then put mIRC in it? [11:17] Hi! My local dns server which only uses it self to look up can resolv external domains. why? :P I don't have any other dns servers [11:17] :D [11:17] Firio: you can start all applications with the terminal, just type the command for the application [11:17] use pidgin and xchat [11:17] Firio: What areyou using now?

I'm using www.mibbit.com and r on this server [11:18] I'll look into [11:18] what's the interface like? [11:18] Wunderbar: it doesn't have one, it's a gateway, not an IM client. [11:18] Wunderbar: it's the irssi interface [11:18] ftp://hemanth.is-a-geek.com/ can u open this link ? [11:18] I think I try install wine and then mIRC into it [11:18] Wunderbar: you'll need to connect to localhost [11:18] Tyrath: you can use other IRC clients with it too, like XChat :) [11:18] i tried setting up dyndns [11:18] anybody has idea where firefox stores its cookies? [11:18] everything is fine [11:19] Wunderbar: and then on localhost for the commands you don't need the backslash [11:19] I try it [11:19] Thanks [11:19] Firio: hehehe [11:19] mib_eqdyhl: ~/.mozilla/firefox//cookies.sqlite [11:19] rww: but as far as resource intensiveness is concerned, i pick bitlbee because i'm convinced its very low resource intensive and it allows me to stay in irssi ;) [11:19] dyndns help me !! [11:20] mib_eqdyhl: It's in the Firefox profile. ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles/profilename/somewhere_here [11:20] I use xchat [11:20] rww: basically it fires up on boot so to login to msn, yahoo and icq all i need to do is connect to localhost [11:20] Btw.. What u recommend for me to use.. pidgin or install wine and then put mirc on wine? [11:20] Wunderbar: up to you [11:20] do'h, I should train on writing while reading what the others are writing [11:20] Ive never used irssi [11:20] Wunderbar: but i love bitlbee ;) [11:20] Firio: pidgin for icq, irssi for irc [11:20] is it any better??? === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [11:20] lightweight ftw [11:21] cos xchat been's working great for me so far [11:21] Tyrath: I know, I use bitlbee+xchat. Not really concerned about the 20MB of memory Xchat "wastes" =/ [11:21] What's differnet between irssi and icq? [11:21] Port Forwarding from command line ? how to ? [11:21] rww: lol haha [11:21] Firio: irssi is an IRC client, ICQ is an OSCAR IM client. [11:21] Firio, try X-Chat first, or ChatZilla / KVirc (which looks somewhat like mIRC). If you aren't afraid of command-line get irssi [11:21] what is the command to print your distro version?

[11:21] After ur opinion? [11:21] Port Forwarding how to ? [11:21] rww: i wish i could purely interface with everything through a console but unfortunately due to the evolution of the web, i have no choice but to always use the GUI [11:22] Wunderbar: I don't read private chats, so you're probably better off just talking to me in here or #ubuntu-offtopic [11:22] fro cli [11:22] Firio: irssi is a clientprogg for irc , icq is an protocol? for chats [11:22] Tyrath: yeah, I know how that goes. If I didn't have GNOME up to use the WWW anyway, I'd probably be using irssi or weechat [11:22] Firio, just try which one you like the best :/ No need for wine if you just want to be on IRC [11:22] Firio: If you prefer GUI in front of CLI then Pidgin is decent. Not perfect, but decent. [11:22] rww: thanks to javascript especially - god how I wish the net was more javascript independent [11:22] What's the status of Packagekit for Jaunty? [11:22] Tyrath: What if my channel is already 6? [11:22] are there any other advantages using bitlbee over pidgin than a little bit of ram [11:22] rww: thanks! :-) [11:23] Firio: i like irssi because i can run it in terminal, and pidgin is nice and stable with icq [11:23] X-Chat and irssi are probably what I'd recommend (ChatZilla has great per-channel encoding support) [11:23] OriWB_: that's fine, it's generally the most popular channel [11:23] also, how do I set it up with xchat, I'm a complete n00b, by the way [11:23] OriWB_: try the others, then try ifconfig to see how the noise is [11:23] That is what I want.. I want to use IRC.. That means I shal then install irssi.. What about extracting irssi before using it? [11:23] Tyrath: Javascript can be good - like now when I'm using an online IRC client that's based on AJAX [11:23] OriWB_: pick the one with the least noise [11:23] Firio, on ubuntu the repositories are your friend [11:23] Firio: just #apt-get install irssi [11:23] Jonathan_L: don't get me wrong, it can be good when GUIs are important to you [11:23] what absynth said :3 [11:23] Tyrath: ok... [11:23] Jonathan_L: but personally I like to keep typing [11:23] Firio: Extracting before using? Huh? [11:24] Firio: then #irssi + hf [11:24] Yes [11:24] Wunderbar: Open the Network List, create a new Network with the Add button, then edit it to use the right settings (like setting the server to 127.0.0.1/6667) [11:24] Tyrath: I dont hear any noise [11:24] Huh? hf? [11:24] Firio: just take out the # [11:24] Firio: so sudo apt-get install irssi [11:24] Tyrath: I also like to "keep typing". I can do a lot here too. [11:24] Firio: hf = have fun ..sry bad habbit [11:24] Oh :-D [11:24] Ty anyway [11:24] Tyrath: what does that mean? [11:24] Port Restricted for Security Reasons , how to overcome this [11:24] For all the help [11:25] OriWB_: noise basically means interference - low noise = low interference [11:25] OriWB_: noise isn't a sound in this context [11:25] hello... I would like to have a .bin file, which is now located in the tftp's root dir, in its' subdirectory (so not in /tftpboot, but in /tftpboot/something)... I have a line "tftp 0x20200000 somefile.bin" and it loads successfully, but when I change it to "tftp 0x20200000 something/somefile.bin" it doesn't load... as it shows not asking for a wrong file if I try with "somefile.bn" I think it could be some memory limitation of this .img file [11:25] OriWB_: when you type ifconfig it should give you a readout for wlan0 [11:25] Tyrath: right [11:26] * Tyrath thought .bin was a windows extension... [11:26] I still haven't gotten any response about linux-indipendent APT client. I just want something that can download packages with all their dependencies so that I don't have to browse a bunch of Web 0.0.0.1 pages that lists files [11:26] Tyrath: lol where's the noise part? [11:26] Tyrath: meaning, how do i know what means it has more or less noise? [11:26] Jonathan_L: I don't know of a client that does that. Last time I needed to download Ubuntu packages in Windows I ended up getting them from http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [11:26] Tyrath, could be, but now this is in linux :D [11:27] OriWB_: try #iwconfig [11:27] OriWB_: pick the channel with the least noise, try to minimise the number of clients connected to the router and try to ensure there are as few number of metallic elements in the room as possible [11:27] rww: Do'h! Can't somebody try to create a windows client for APT? :'( [11:27] OriWB_: there is noise level and signal level and lot of other informations [11:27] Jonathan_L: You're welcome to take a shot :) [11:27] !de [11:27] In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen.

[11:27] I'm a total programming newbie [11:28] OriWB_: maybe it doesn't give a noise reading... i thought it did, bizarre [11:28] I can basicly only remove pieces of code and do some cut-and-pasting to mess with code. [11:28] Tyrath: can i show you what i got? [11:29] OriWB_: not here... hmm. i don't seem to be getting a noise reading either atm [11:30] [man lsof] Will operating systems covered by lsof but other than Linux call structures equivalent to an inode other than 'inode'? 'man lsof' seems to differentiate between 'inodes' and other 'nodes'. [11:30] OriWB_: maybe you only get a noise reading if you're connected to wireless... [11:30] rww: It works after full update + restart [11:30] Tyrath: I am conected wireless [11:30] OriWB_: have you altered any of the wireless settings in gnome? [11:30] ah k [11:30] hmm [11:30] Wizzup: Heh. Probably was some bug in the restricted driver manager that got fixed, then. I vaguely remember having the same problem a few months ago. [11:31] :) === Rouq is now known as Roq [11:31] OriWB_: do you tried iwconfig and not ifconfig? [11:31] hi.. [11:31] absynth: yes [11:31] anyone know how to change the ip in virtual box? [11:31] OriWB_: ok [11:32] absynth: i got something else, but nothing to do with noise, or something like that [11:32] OriWB_: what u got? [11:32] absynth: I'm connected wireless if that helps [11:32] I had a nfs share mounted, the server went down and now my system is hung, only terminal works, and when I do umount /share it says that devcie is busy. how to fix it? [11:32] because i cannot use Host interface in my virtual machine..The one that is functioning is only NAT.. [11:32] OriWB_: me 2 ;D [11:32] hope someone can help me.. [11:32] absynth: hehehe [11:32] #vbox is kind of too quiet [11:32] hi all [11:33] OriWB_: so why u want to see the noise level? [11:33] OriWB_: yeah, iwconfig is basically the wireless narrowed down version of ifconfig [11:33] Tyrath: i dont know what im talking about, but could it be a flaky dns server?

[11:55] Anyone ever got wireless working on a Dell Inspiron 1721 ?? [11:56] dotcom, idk but maybe searching for how to get wireless working in general (i.e. on any machine) might help [11:56] Is there any good reason to do a fresh install unless upgrading goes wrong. I started with Gutsy and upgraded through Hardy to Intrepid and everything has gone perfectly. I have noticed however that my system is a little out of step in using some old defaults like Alsa mixer. [11:57] And I have Transmission as well as Bittorrent [11:57] anonusing: I'm trying that now but none of the articles talk about the 1721 specifically and the hardware it uses :| [11:57] !wifi [11:57] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs === [Blay] is now known as Blaay [12:03] hi [12:03] i would like to ask [12:03] how to fix this? [12:03] rndc: connect failed: 127.0.0.1#953: connection refused [12:03] [fail] [12:04] shally87-2: you'd need to be running a bind server [12:04] what's the fastest way to record tuner input from a box that has a tuner card and an ubuntu CD? [12:05] brunner: recording TV from a livecd is not a good idea [12:05] my friend will be on national TV in an hour, and I'd really like to record it for the youtubes [12:05] ikonia: I have a hard drive [12:05] brunner: are you going to install ubuntu ? [12:05] ikonia: I mean, there's a hard drive installed [12:05] or just run the livecd [12:05] ikonia: I'd prefer to run off the livecd [12:05] ikonia [12:05] brunner: but will you install ubuntu onto it ? [12:05] shally87: yes ? [12:06] that one is my setting for bind server [12:06] brunner: then you won't get much recorded [12:06] and i use vbox for it [12:06] ikonia: I guess I could, but I'd be running pretty short on time [12:06] shally87: then you're bind server is not setup [12:06] brunner: you won't get anything from a livecd [12:06] when i restart the bind9 it appears [12:06] (in my opinion) [12:06] ikonia: why couldn't I record onto the hard drive? [12:06] ok [12:06] brunner: because the OS that is used to process it would be running from a livecd [12:06] i do the last step first then i ask if got error [12:06] thanks [12:06] I see... [12:07] shally87: "it appears" what are you talking about ? [12:07] i'm trying to bind meta-r (winkey - r) to run a program, but it zooms instead... is there soem accessibility stuff put on from start? [12:07] shally87: you need to be clear about what you're saying [12:07] lame. I wish I had a USB tuner card or something. [12:07] ok [12:07] for my ubuntu laptop [12:08] aah... i think it's some compiz stuff... where has those setting been hidden? [12:08] ikonia: I still setting up my dns server, and i reach the part where it needs to restart..then i restart it but there is where i get the problem. [12:08] shally87: have you set up rncd channels ? [12:08] by the way i just proceed then i know what happen next.. [12:08] ikonia: if I can get it installed fast enough, what program should I use? [12:08] !ccsm > chosig [12:08] chosig, please see my private message [12:08] brunner: tvtime maybe ? [12:08] rncd? what is that? i dont found any manual for DNS server [12:08] brunner: I only really use myth and it's a massive overkill for wha you wnat [12:09] shally87: you need to read all of the DNS docs hen, rncd is a key component for manamgnet [12:09] ikonia: I may actually have myth installed on the box already... just no tvguide feed [12:09] or a way to connect to the network [12:09] ok.. [12:10] i will search the dns doc now.. [12:10] thanks for reminding me.. [12:10] DOES ANIBODY KNOW HOW TO DISSABLE WIFI EXTRA CHANNELS ON MANDRIVA? [12:10] don't use caps [12:10] extra channels? [12:10] mandriva? [12:10] :) [12:10] mib_6x5hkr: mandriva is not supported here, try the mandriva channel [12:11] lol, I was thinking what fosco_ was thinking. [12:11] mib_6x5hkr: and try not to use capslock - it is considered rude on irc and "shouting" [12:11] or if everyone is dead there [12:11] use ##linux also [12:11] ikonia: what about trying to record with a p2p app. are there any p2ptv apps that get fox news? [12:11] brunner: no idea [12:11] brunner: never heard of p2p recording [12:12] I've heard of it, but I might need to use some vmware nonsense to make it work [12:12] [man lsof] Will operating systems covered by lsof but other than Linux call structures equivalent to an inode other than 'inode'? 'man lsof' seems to differentiate between 'inodes' and other 'nodes'. [12:12] brunner, so whats the tech meant to be able to do? [12:13] bullgard4: come on, how is that "ubuntu" [12:13] netsurf3: I'm just trying to record my friend who will be on fox news in an hour [12:13] ooo [12:13] brunner, why the P2P then? [12:14] maybe take the TV record options to #ubuntu-offtopic ? [12:14] someone may even record it for you [12:14] netsurf3: because I have no USB turner card, and no time to install ubuntu on the box that has pci tuner cards [12:14] ikonia: okay, but I really was looking for an ubuntu solution [12:14] brunner: well you're moving beyond that now [12:17] hello everyone [12:17] hi [12:17] brunner, live disk with the tuner card? [12:17] can someone tell me how to play real media files in ubuntu ppc [12:17] netsurf3: yes [12:17] #join apache [12:18] !ppc [12:18] PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [12:18] xiaojianjun: sure you open the package manager and search for realaudio and you'll find the package you need [12:19] Has anyone installed red5, and does anyone know how to remove the server? Or any other way to remove a server? [12:19] http://www.geexbox.org/en/index.html [12:19] brunner is that any good? [12:19] Jack1: how did you install it ? [12:19] i dont know a p2p solution but that apprently doesnt need installing [12:19] ikonia: through a deb package [12:19] Hi, any one know how do I mount one of raid1 disk from one computer on another computer? [12:20] Jack1: if you do a "dpkg -l | grep -i red5" do you see any packages [12:20] netsurf3: I'm sort of giving up on recording with the tuner cards. we can chat about it in #ubuntu-offtopic if you want [12:20] ikonia: one moment [12:20] piti_: sure, break the mirror, plug the disk into the new machine and mount it using the correct native cile system [12:20] piti_: I'm assuming this is software raid ? [12:20] yes it's ubuntu software raid [12:21] I tried mount /dev/sdb1 [12:21] it gives me mount: unknown filesystem type 'linux_raid_member' [12:21] piti_: was ir you where where discussing this with yesterday ? [12:21] "was it you" [12:21] ikonia: do I have to insert both those command seperately, because then on the second command nothing happens [12:22] Jack1: "dpkg -l | grep -ired5" is one command [12:22] by this you mean mounting raid? nope [12:22] piti_: someone yesterday had the same problem [12:22] ikonia: I get -> ii red5 0.8.0-RC1 Red5 flash streaming server [12:22] I have downloaded the realplayer's bin file but i got a problem that i can't install libstdc++ [12:22] piti_: basiclly you need to do a mount -t and specify the correct file system type [12:22] Jack1: great, so now "sudo dpkg -p red5" [12:22] 3.3 [12:22] it's ext3 so it should me mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1? [12:23] how to know the bind version? [12:23] piti_: looks good [12:23] ikonia: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d73526ca8 [12:23] shally87-2: it tells you in the package name [12:24] Jack1: "sudo dpkg -p red5" [12:24] ikonia: same thing [12:25] ok [12:25] ...[ 1177.395617] VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sdb1. [12:25] Jack1: sory dpkg -P [12:25] may be this is the bad one I'll try another one... [12:25] piti_: are you %100 sure it is ext3 ? [12:25] yes [12:25] ikonia: np, I did su dpkg -P and then? [12:25] piti_: show me the full command your using [12:25] it used to be the boot drive on anohter computer wihch is also ubuntu... [12:25] Jack1: ooh come on [12:26] sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 sdb1 [12:26] Jack1: sudo dpkg -P red5 [12:26] piti_: don't you have to specify and abouslte path for the mount point ? [12:26] (I appriciate that's not your problem) [12:26] ikonia: id soes not told. only known was bind9. but there is bind 9.4, bind 9.6 [12:26] you havent a dir where to mount the device [12:27] ikonia: thanks! is it removed completely now? [12:27] ikonia: oh wait I got error [12:27] ikinia: it still gives the same error. I'll try another disk [12:27] shally87-2: named -v [12:27] ok [12:27] ikonia: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d17a38aa1 [12:27] ikonia: I took this disk out because it refused to boot [12:27] owh.. [12:28] ok [12:28] hello all ! [12:28] thanks [12:28] piti_: are you sure there is data on it ? [12:28] anyone can tell me how can i ssh with the terminal ? [12:28] ikonia: i'm quite sure [12:28] Jack1: looks like a problem with the pakage, have you ried "sudo dpkg -r red5" [12:28] Armag3ddon: ssh $hostname [12:28] Armag3ddon: ssh uername@hostname [12:28] Armag3ddon: ssh loginname@server -p portnumber [12:28] piti_: any idea why it wouldn't boot ? [12:28] piti_: it looks like there s a problem with that disk on some level [12:29] sudo mkdir /media/Daten (e. g.) then sudo mount /dev/sdax /media/Daten [12:29] ikonia: it gives me grub error 17 [12:29] ikonia: gives me same error [12:29] piti_: ahh grub error, not data error [12:29] ikonia: which i believe is part of my ignorant when I installed raid1 [12:29] Jack1: then you need to contact the place you got the deb from [12:29] Have anyone here ever installed Gmail FS succesfully? [12:29] Jack1: the uninstall routine is not correct [12:29] ikonia: my theory is that one of the disk failed and there is no grub on the other disk [12:29] ikonia, i know that, but it says connection refused :) [12:29] yo yo yo [12:30] ikonia: maybe it's because it can't stop the server, is there a way to stop running the server? [12:30] piti_: what that means is he grub entry is hardcoded to the other disk [12:30] Armag3ddon: then the other server is not listening on ssh ports [12:30] it is [12:30] it should be [12:30] Jack1: open a terminal use "ps -ef | grep red5" to get info then use sudo kill -9 $pid and replace the value $pid with the process ID on the left [12:30] Armag3ddon: it's not [12:30] ikonia, it is a shell server so it is :) [12:31] Armag3ddon: it's not running [12:31] ikonia: how to check the log for dns server? [12:31] Armag3ddon: try netstat -a [12:31] Armag3ddon: and pastebin the output [12:31] shally87-2: have you setup logging [12:31] ikonia, i am connected to my server through irc [12:31] you tell me its not running ? [12:31] ikonia: yeah so when one disk failed it probably read grub from the other disk but the grub.conf or something still try to have grub boot from the bad one.... [12:31] what do you think im stupid ? [12:31] ikonia: that's what I guess [12:31] Armag3ddon: that doesn't mean its running ssh [12:31] no [12:31] yes it does [12:31] ho to? [12:32] how did i install the server then ? [12:32] how to? [12:32] Armag3ddon: no it doesn't irc is not ssh [12:32] how did i install the server ? [12:32] how did i install the service [12:32] Armag3ddon Please tone it down [12:32] ikonia, i already installed server and services :/ [12:32] funny [12:32] shally87-2: you need to walk through the bind guide on "channels" which is logging [12:32] Armag3ddon: that doesn't mean the daemon is still running/listening [12:32] Jack_Sparrow, i am tuned down :/ [12:32] ok [12:32] Jack_Sparrow, im cool :D [12:32] Armag3ddon: if you are getting connection refused it's gettingt to your server but rejecting you [12:32] oh [12:32] Armag3ddon: that meants either a host rule blocking you, or the service is not running [12:32] well :/ [12:33] hy i want to see a web stream cann you help me wat i can take for Programm [12:33] Swift_: can you expand on that a bit, what do you mean by web stream [12:34] ikonia: when I do sudo kill "ID" nothing happens [12:34] Swift_ What is your native language? [12:34] Jack1: kill -9 $pid [12:34] The webpage is bibelstream.org [12:34] Hi, anyone have any clue how to get nvidia drivers working under Sun xVM VirtualBox (vista) running ubuntu 8.10? [12:34] Jack1: killall -9 [12:34] Or what ikonia said :/ [12:34] sathyrion: the vm will not have an nvidia card on the guest [12:34] ikonia: 1000 6243 6225 0 13:34 pts/0 00:00:00 grep red [12:34] sathyrion: you need the guestadditions [12:35] Jack1: doesn't look like the server is running then [12:35] from: Install guest additions under -> devices? [12:35] sathyrion: it will install as a vbox video card, you will not get 3d accelleration in a virtal machine [12:35] I recently did a apt-get autoclean that removed some kernel files I think, after that I get "Boot from (hd0,0) ext2 *GUID*" Error 15: file not found" [12:36] sathyrion: yep thats it, or manually download the iso from someplace and mount it in the vbox, same deal [12:36] ikonia: weird, because it gives me this error when I try to remove it -> Stopping Red5 flash streaming server: red5invoke-rc.d: initscript red5, action "stop" failed.

[12:38] Does anyone here have any experience with vmware tools for a virt Ubuntu? I'm trying to get automatic mouse-focus, and compiz to work in a jaunty VM, anyone had any experince with this?

[12:40] Ienorand: for jaunty ask in +1 [12:41] bastid_raZor: i'm working on that now, kinda hoped someone might say "oh, you screwed up XYZ before I went mucking with things, :) [12:41] ikonia: mysql loads database from /var/something. now that I mount this disk as ~/sdb1 how do i get mysql to load database from ~/sdb1/var/something? [12:41] piti_: that's in the configs *somewhere* [12:41] Ienorand: you wont get 3d acceleration in a vm so compiz wont work [12:41] piti_: or you could do it the stupid-but-effective way and just symlink it [12:42] gordonjcp: great idea... [12:42] ikonia: I also get this message when I try to remove java5 through Synaptic package manager -> E: red5: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 [12:42] bastid_raZor: which package, headers or image?

Moreover dvd's seems to turn forever, even when I don't read 'em. Windows works fine so It's not an hardware problem... [13:41] Cara: So IRC server?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [13:56] Why do I need to use the pastebin, jrib, I have nothing to paste!

[13:57] freshmilk: yes you can [13:57] You can [13:57] Flimm: can you just pastebin everything you see on your terminal including the command you ran? Too many times assumptions are made in this channel that wastes time, so this way I see exactly what you see. [13:58] my only way of connecting to the net with the pc in question is via wifi, do i need to make sure i include the drivers for the wifi card on the boot disk?

[14:01] I have tried changing my server [14:01] is there any reason why i can ping ip from remotepc - otherpc, but if i goto http://ip from the remotepc it times out, yet http://ip on the localpc works fine [14:01] I have been fiddling with proxies a few days ago, I forgot about that, thanks jrib! [14:01] g2g, bye [14:01] nick|here, What soundcard are you using? [14:01] i get no sound when I run vlc or mplayer. If I login as a different user, everything works. What could be the problem? using hardy [14:01] Ado you probably need to allow access to http service for other than localhost .. [14:02] rem1500, how do i go about that? i know port 80 is open on the localpc [14:02] "aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav" works fine [14:02] sathyrion: snd_hda_intel works fine. for the exact name "Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP67 High Definition Audio (rev a1)" === hiredgoo1 is now known as hiredroon [14:02] in host.allow file or Apache.conf not sure where ... This happens sometimes with apps like phpmyadmin etc .. === elpargo_ is now known as elpargo === hiredroon is now known as hiredgoon [14:03] AdvoWork -> can you ping from remote to localpc? [14:03] not much time now, and dont remember exactly but had something similar, and resolved it that way..maybe the same for you .. google about it .. [14:03] anyone know why my scandisk cruzer 16gig micro usb cant be mounted/recognised on ubuntu and could help solve the problem? [14:04] milostrife, does a smaller disk work? [14:04] nick|here, Check if your alsa-base have specified the card model [14:04] malahal i only have the one size [14:04] milostrife, what are the error messages? [14:05] sathyrion: it works until i login. and after i login, i can get it working again with "sudo alsa force-reload". [14:05] n8tuserff, yeah i can ping [14:05] malahal i dont get and error messages at all i safely removed it from xp on my desktop and plugged it into my laptop and nothing is coming up [14:06] AdvoWork -> can you ping from remote to localpc? but what is the result? [14:06] nick|here, Ok. I misunderstood. Maybe update to latest alsa drivers [14:06] AdvoWork -> also try telnet 80 from remote to localpc [14:07] n8tuserff, i can ping 192.... from remote to local,and get replies [14:07] milostrife, I just started using Ubuntu (was a gentoo user and still use gentoo on other machines) [14:07] sathyrion: thanks. i just wanted to know if this is a common problem or not. apt does says me that my system is up2date. i'm fine at the moment. ain't broke don't fix :) [14:07] telnet 192... 80 just says trying... [14:07] does nothing else [14:07] remove the driver, connect it back and let me know the messages in /var/log/messages file [14:08] hey everybody. i want to load the kernel module with the option "quirks=16" at boot. how can i do that? right now it's loaded without that option [14:08] the kernel module is "uvcvideo" [14:08] milostrife, gnome-auto mount should work. Maybe there is a problem. You can certainly manually mount and I can help you with that. [14:09] nick|here, My HDA Intel card doesn't work at all on 8.10 until I reconfigure the alsa-base file. But I see people reccomend updating to the freshest alsa release because it has more compability with newer cards. [14:09] malahal how do i manually mount it btw it uses something called u3 softwear? [14:10] milostrife, u3 software doesn't work on Linux. It is Windows only software, but you should see a partition on the drive that can be mounted. [14:10] sathyrion: i'm checking the alsa-base file. fine with it know. if it breaks i'll update it to the freshest one. thanks for your help [14:11] malahal so how do i manually mount it through the terminal?

[14:39] milostrife, if there are any partitions, they should have listed in the '/proc/partitions'. Looks like sdb doesn't have any partitions. That is odd [14:39] ganesh: lshw might tell you [14:39] constantine_: no output usually means the command successfully completed, for results check output of 'dmesg' and/or the syslog [14:40] rkvirani: jaunty support in #ubuntu+1..if you wanted help with the kernel thingy [14:40] malahal it wont mount at akk? [14:40] milostrife, "/var/log/messages" is a file that contains system/daemon messages (error messages, information, critical ...etc) [14:40] Slart: oh, thanks but, I just booted in the old kernel :D [14:40] !broken [14:40] Sorry, I don't know anything about broken [14:40] rkvirani: that works too =) [14:40] milostrife, what do you mean by 'akk'? [14:40] though I do say the NVIDIA binary drivers in general are ... frustrating [14:41] I have an NVIDIA 6200/256MB and Docky is slow even after putting in the recommended settings :( [14:41] malahal at all sry and where is that file? [14:42] milostrife, I gave the complete pathname. You can see the file using any of your favourite tools. What do you use to look at files in Linux? [14:42] can i make an sftp user able to write files without owning the folder? [14:43] malahal found it now sry i was being slow what am i looking for in the message [14:43] Slart: no i din get [14:43] hello all. When i do rm * in a big folder i get: -bash: /bin/rm: Argument list too long. How can i ovverride this? [14:43] innociv: Add them to a group, make that group own the file, give the group +r permission? [14:43] milostrife, at the end it may give indication about why it failed to open /dev/sdb [14:43] <_VIM_> /quit [14:44] milostrife, What does the following command say, "ls -l /dev/sdb"? [14:44] Can someone supply me with a bunch of commands to se my computers hardware specs? [14:44] cpu/memory/graphic etc [14:44] YlandeFaran: lshw [14:44] YlandeFaran, lshw [14:44] YlandeFaran: start with "sudo lshw" [14:44] how do i know which graphics card i have? [14:45] ganesh, lspci [14:45] fd or any similar file is missing in /dev directory. how can i mount my floppy? [14:45] snmpwalk and snmpget to remote host dose not work in ubuntu. how can I do it? [14:45] <`Matir> ociugi, check if the 'floppy' module is loaded with lsmod. If not, modprobe floppy === marius is now known as Guest14365 [14:45] `Matir: ok [14:45] malahal everyone now and then i get some lists on scan disk cruzer but noting else [14:45] ociugi: should be /dev/fd0 device.. You may want to try "sudo modprobe floppy" first to 'create' that device file [14:46] i see [14:46] milostrife, "lists", what do you mean? [14:47] malahal_: thanx [14:47] milostrife, what does the 'ls -l /dev/sdb' gave you [14:47] brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 16 2009-02-11 14:45 /dev/sdb from command you sent "ls-l /dev/sdb" [14:47] ganesh, np [14:47] is there any quick way to install mod_rewrite in apache/ I mean...any magic package? [14:47] my kernel was broken so I changed to an older one, but the kernel "build" directory is missing, what is the safest way to replace it? [14:47] any command to se how much ram I have too? [14:47] perhaps that is somwehere in the output from lshw? Quite verbose though.. [14:48] <_niko> hey there, is there a way to block a user from using sudo? [14:48] YlandeFaran: free [14:48] YlandeFaran: free will tell you a bit about memory and usage [14:48] _niko, remove them from the admin group [14:48] _niko: remove them as a superuser, or perhaps alias sudo to something else? [14:48] hi [14:49] , <`Matir>: tnx guys [14:49] malahal brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 16 2009-02-11 14:45 /dev/sdb [14:49] <_niko> how would i remove them as a superuser? [14:49] does anyone know how i can set ls to highlight directories using a different colour? at the moment it's blue, but my terminal's bg is black, so it's hard to read. [14:49] mun: check the colors on your 'profile' in terminal [14:49] _niko: file /etc/sudoers contains definition who may use sudo. Default all users in admin group have sudo rights. Modify /etc/sudoers, or remove the user from group admin [14:50] <_niko> ok will try [14:50] hi, I have a simple script (set -x as only content) chmodded and trying it to execute on a new 8.10 install, it runs forever aslong as the bash_completion stuff in .bashrc isn't commented out, ever seen this? [14:50] hello how can i open weechat i just instaled it ... but i don„t know the comand to open it [14:50] rkvirani: thanks [14:50] apollo13: what do you mean it runs for ever - it's not doing anything ? [14:50] ikonia: yep, but top shows bash eating much [14:51] im having trouble with the java SDK that comes with ubuntu, so i installed the official Sun one, but each time i want to use it , i have to adjust the JAVA_HOME path, which only applies it for the current session - is there a way i can do it once and set it as the default? [14:51] it starts and never returns a prompt, can't ctrl c it [14:51] apollo13: have you not given an exist status ? [14:51] hello how can i open weechat i just instaled it ... but i don„t know the comand to open it [14:52] ikonia: as said the content of the script are just set -x, that one line, and it never ends; it does on other pcs so (ubuntu 8.10 too) [14:52] hello everybody i am totally exhaust by ubuntu coz i am not able to run my camera(inbuilt),help me out [14:52] hello how can i open weechat i just instaled it ... but i don„t know the comand to open it [14:52] apollo13: try another command [14:52] the "build" directory for my kernel is missing, how do I replace it? [14:52] ikonia: same for echo 3.... [14:52] hello how can i open weechat i just instaled it ... but i don„t know the comand to open it [14:52] enywhone knows? [14:52] apollo13: interesting, sounds like that instsall has a problem [14:53] vlad: how did you install it? [14:53] small question - im looking for any kind of live bootable that supports at least - memtest - some kind of hdd tester, and perhaps other usefull utillities, - but most just are geared for desktop use (and i dont need stuff like thunderbird OOo or gaim (and stuff) [14:53] vlad: asking ever 15 seconds will not get you help [14:53] shad_: heh english dude [14:53] ichat: the ubuntu live cd [14:53] zash: from synaptics [14:53] vlad, Should appear in menu. restart x/system if it's not there [14:53] ikonia: guessing that too, how can I debug it (it works fine if I comment out the bash_completion sourcing in .bashrc) [14:53] running debsums now [14:53] i know i have to open it from the terminal [14:53] apollo13: truss and stace the bash script while running to get an idea [14:53] rkvirani, sir it is important to help me....... [14:53] ikonia: - does it support hdd testing (cuze i never saw that before - (or maybe not sure - ) [14:53] vlad: what package? in terminal run dpkg -L package-name [14:53] * apollo13 goes to find out how to do that [14:54] anyone here have an HP DV9819wm? I need to know what kind of webcam it has [14:54] common [14:54] shad_: hahaha [14:54] ichat: tons of test programs you can install [14:54] shad_: since your broken english and attempt at being polite is so humerous [14:54] vlad: dpkg -L package-name | grep bin [14:54] shad_: what kind of camera? [14:54] you can install apps on a live boot? [14:54] rkvirani, i am using sony vaio as my laptop [14:54] http://forum.pauldotcom.com/viewtopic.php?id=180&action=new [14:55] zash and if not [14:55] it is of VGN-CR24G series [14:55] ? [14:55] shad_: does lspci give you any hints as to what kind of camera you have [14:55] how do I rebuild an existing kernel without breaking anything? my build files are missing [14:55] vlad: type "weech" and hit tab ... it's weechat-curses [14:55] rkvirani, i post the output of lspci [14:56] ihavnoth: yes [14:56] malahal: belated thanks [14:56] a newer kernel broke my notebook and i'm trying to get it back running again [14:56] rkvirani, i couldn't get exactly [14:56] ikonia: - its possible to install apps on a live cd (or usb) - (pre configured - ?) [14:56] rkvirani, where should i post it [14:56] ichat: pre-configured ? [14:56] ichat -> you can remaster your livecd [14:57] pastebin [14:57] shad_: read it [14:57] <_niko> thanks for the info guys! [14:57] !pastebin > shad_ [14:57] shad_, please see my private message [14:57] shad_: what does it say? does it say anything about your camera? [14:57] Would Ubuntu auto-detect my Wired Connection? This is my static connection to Server in a static/dynamic router setup. [14:57] * lasivian grovels [14:57] oCean_: thanks [14:57] ubottu: why dont you post to the channel? [14:57] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:57] j03lar50n: static means user assigned [14:57] rkvirani: you missed the ! [14:57] ikonia: http://pastie.org/386013 does this tell you something? [14:58] rkvirani, how to see the private messages [14:58] jedimind -> you use update-alternatives tool to set your java defaults [14:58] ! [14:58] yes, this is my user assigned static ip for my server [14:58] n8tuserff: i already ended up just setting it in .bashrc [14:58] shad_: I dont know I didnt send you one and I dont know what IRC client you are using [14:58] apollo13: not really, run the script, then do a strace on that process while it's "hung" [14:58] ikonia: ok, sry missunderstood you [14:58] i can talk to the router but not the Internet...wondering my settings aren't autodetected when i plugin my LAN [14:58] n8tuserff: any tutorial on that, - because, im not allowed to install anything to the disk - so a usb stick with ubuntu live (with most of usefull tystem diagnostics would be briliant [14:58] !pastebin | shad_ [14:58] shad_: 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) [14:58] jedimind -> well you can do it several ways, now if you need to update.. [14:59] ikonia: oh I see what you are doing [14:59] yeah, I dont know bots well [14:59] * lasivian begs to know how to rebuild an existing kernel that is only half functional [14:59] rkvirani, http://pastebin.com/m5b9c3700 [14:59] n8tuserff: i'll look into that option as well, thanks [14:59] j03lar50n: static IP's are not detectable - they are static, which means users assigned, only dhcp is detectable [14:59] so i do this in the Network Connections ikonia? [14:59] Wired Connection? [15:00] ichat -> yes there is, but its a circuitous way, remaster the livecd iso then modify it to boot from usb [15:00] j03lar50n: you assign a static ip in the network configuration gui [15:00] /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/build is missing so I can;t install my wireless drivers [15:00] the MAC address they ask for there - should that be the router MAC? [15:00] j03lar50n: no - the mac address of the card [15:00] ikonia: http://pastie.org/386016 :/ [15:00] j03lar50n: that is normally automatically picked up [15:00] absynth: u there? [15:00] repeated all the time... [15:00] and do i need to worry about IPv4 Settings? [15:01] j03lar50n: yes [15:01] !ebox [15:01] 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 [15:01] apollo13: doesn't tell me much, but it is useful, your shell is segfaulting [15:01] lasivian: install kernel-headers. 'build' is a link to the headers directory [15:01] and I get the address of the card w/ ifconfig [15:01] !webmin [15:01] 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. [15:01] * apollo13 tries reinstalling everything near bash^^ [15:01] apollo13: segfault of a shell would suggest something like corrupt install or a memory/cpu issue [15:01] * lasivian thanks oCean_ profusely [15:01] ikonia: how can I dig deeper there? [15:01] ubuntu 8.10 has an option to create boot usb disk - ( is it an option to start from there - (never tried the option yet ) [15:01] !version [15:01] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [15:02] apollo13: well in what respect deeper ? how much do you understand of the debugging output [15:02] ikonia: nothing :/ [15:02] !dns [15:02] DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System, and is an internet system used to translate names into IP Address. [15:02] apollo13: ok -s o you can't go much deeper, you may want to try running the memtest checks from the boot menu for a few full passes to get an idea on your hardware [15:02] do you need to apply changes after you change iptables? [15:02] AdvoWork: it's real time [15:02] hii...i have flash working and i am able to watch youtube videos...but i have my subject notes on a particular site in flash and I am unable to watch it....any help?? [15:02] huh~!..Dns Manual got 108pages.. no easy to use stuff for it? [15:03] ikonia: I'll try that, but I guess I kick the pc back to the reseller [15:03] DarkKnight: we have discussed this before [15:03] lasivian: use "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)" and it'll fetch the appropriate headers for your running kernel [15:03] too time consuming..any suggestion? [15:03] shally87: it's a complex and serious topic [15:03] shally87: you have to know it well [15:03] ikonia; ya but i can't help asking if anyone else has any solution....i am desperate to find a solution for this..... [15:04] n8tuserff: ubuntu 8.10 has an option to create boot usb disk - ( is it an option to start from there - (never tried the option yet ) ???? [15:04] DarkKnight: we told you last time - there is no solution, the site is not supported/working with the linux version of flash, talk tot he site maintainer [15:04] ubottu, what does lspci does [15:04] I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:04] DarkKnight: it doesn't get any more clear than that [15:04] ok.. BTW if I just set up LAMP server and point my ip using no-ip , i wont be needing a dns server is it? [15:04] ikonia; and hiii ikonia....nice to meet you....and by the way you have gud memory [15:04] shally87: you there? [15:04] yes rkvirani [15:04] shally87: if you want to use dns you'd need 2 dns servers on uniqe ip's any way [15:04] rkvirani, i posted the lspci output [15:05] oCean_: Bless you sir! [15:05] * lasivian grovels some more [15:05] Shad_ lspci with LIST all availible pci divices on your system (including those on your motherboard (like onboard sound - and stuf like that ) [15:05] shad_: sorry can you tell me the url? [15:05] ikonia: if i just want to support my website such as example.com do i need a dns server or just a lamp server would be ok? [15:06] lol - a dumb question... i have a file named -foo and want to move it... but "mv -foo bar" thinks (of course) that -foo is a parameter... putting -foo into slashes doesn't work either... any ideas plz ? :D [15:06] Greetings... question on users and groups [15:06] rkvirani, http://pastebin.com/m5b9c3700 [15:06] bOiNk_: mv "-foo" doesn't work? [15:06] shally87: dns has nothign to do with your website - to host a DNS name - you need two unique dns servers, lamp is nothing to do with dns [15:06] hi there, could anyone tell me how to install ubuntu from iso? I downloaded 810amd iso, and verified the md5 is correct, but I failed 3 times when burning CD. [15:06] All users on my CVS box have the primary group matching the CVSUSERS group in passwd... does that also need to be reflected in the group file? [15:07] what on earth is wubi? [15:07] ok..then DNS is only pointing url for hosting server is it.. [15:07] ichat -> if you have not installed ubuntu before, that would be a good starting point for you [15:07] I tried to use wubi to install, but it try to download everything from net, not using the files I extracted from iso [15:07] Fenix|work: passwords do not go in the group file [15:07] Slart: no :( [15:07] shally87: nm I got it [15:07] must be a USB camera cause I dont see it [15:07] s/shally/shad [15:08] bOiNk_, you have to escape the file ... mv \-foo bar [15:08] rkvirani, no it is not it is inbuilt [15:08] aaahh :D ok i'll try thx :D [15:08] bOiNk_: many unix commands support using -- to signify that there are no more options after this character... ie... mc -- -foo might work [15:08] shad_: lsusb [15:08] rkvirani, [15:08] rkvirani, ok [15:08] shad_: you dont understand it could still be USB even if it is built-in [15:08] then as time too short, gonna stop for dns server a while.. running my LAMP first..thanks ya... [15:08] n8tuserff: - i have, but never worked with live - and the machine neading service - neither supports cdrom nor am i allowd to (overwrite data on its hdd - before its backed-up propperly - \ [15:08] gonna ask loads and loads of question later on... [15:09] bOiNk_: sorry.. mv -- -foo [15:09] shad_: infact your Optical drive is probably USB even though its built in. [15:09] Fenix|work: excaping doesn't work either, Slart: gonna try :D [15:09] rkvirani, http://pastebin.com/m4f046ea4 [15:09] ichat -> well back up your data is your highest priority, what os is currently running? === shally87 is now known as shally87[LAMPing [15:09] ikonia, passwords don't go in the group file? I don't see how the correlation to my question... [15:09] Slart: worked :D thx alot ! === shally87[LAMPing is now known as shally87[AFK] [15:09] could anyone explain this: is there any difference between wubi install and normal cd install. In another word, can I use wubi to install from windows, and after install is ok, get rid of windows to get a pure ubuntu system? [15:09] ikonia: how long can a memtest through 4 gig take [15:10] apollo13: hours [15:10] ... unless you're saying that users with a primary group set in passwd don't need inclusion in group [15:10] how would i get irssi to integrate with firefox... [15:10] ???? [15:10] Fenix|work: one would think the /etc/group should reflect that.. however I've seen otherwise. .. e.g. not all users in a group were specified in the group file [15:10] rkvirani, and yes my fingerprint is also not working [15:10] shad_: good luck with that [15:10] <_niko> xrfang: why not just boot from the live CD and format the drive to have a pur Ubuntu system? [15:10] windows xp - with to manny error to trust its backup ops.. - - if it where linux it would have been so mutch easier [15:10] fingerprint readers are a bad idea anyway [15:10] insecure [15:10] xrfang: I think you would have to install to get a real install after installing with wubi [15:11] I dont wnat my finger print on my computer for someone to steal thank you [15:11] _niko: I just explained, the iso refused to burn correct, but my burner can burn other CDs without problem [15:11] ok who broke firefox :( [15:11] hwilde: just got the update ? [15:11] rkvirani: you can't extract your fingerprint from a fingerprint reader [15:11] i've got like four updates so far today and now I can't open pages [15:11] hwilde: are yup upgrading? [15:11] Slart: really [15:11] Slart: my intention is to use wubi to install ubuntu, not to just run it in live mode. [15:11] yeah.,.. right... [15:11] hwilde: me too [15:11] Fenix|work: /etc/passwd is leading. If all cvsusers have correct (same) groupid.. it should be fine [15:11] hwilde: restart all firefox programs [15:11] is that possible, I am not familiar with wubi. [15:11] rkvirani, i could not understand [15:11] rkvirani: you'll only get a hash.. some kind of number based on your fingerprint [15:11] hwilde: (I had to ps -ef | grep and kill to get them all) [15:11] :// [15:12] shad_: I wont help you with your finterprint reader [15:12] rkvirani: you can't use that hash to draw a picture of your finger [15:12] hwilde: or reboot to make it simpler [15:12] ichat -> get another disk to load ubuntu on, load vmware or vbox to get virtual, and run xp on as guest.. many options [15:12] ikonia: anyways thx for your help [15:12] ikonia, any page i try it pops up this error: http://pastebin.com/mb53419c [15:12] rkvirani, but try in case of camera [15:12] xrfang: afaik wubi is a install.. [15:12] oCean_, :) that's exactly why I asked the question :) The user's primary group in passwd is cvsusers but in group there's no users beside cvsuser :) [15:12] I know this'll get a big groan -but I got a sound problem on Hardy. I can only get my USB headphones to work by unplugging/plugging in, then running asoundconf-gtk and selecting the headphones. Where do I edit to make this work at start-up. anyone? [15:12] xrfang: not a way to run a live cd [15:12] rkvirani, i really spent hours behind this on internet [15:13] 254kb/sec is roughly my download cap speed [15:13] n8tuserff: - that might work.. [15:13] hi all, I'm sort of new so please be kind!... If I extend a path to include an application (using export in bash), how do I make this a permanent change..so I don't need to keep doing this? [15:13] hwilde: do what I suggested [15:13] oCean_, yeah, I thought that's how it worked... but I'm trying to track down some errors with CVS and that's the first place I started. [15:13] hwilde: some libs from the old install are probably still in use [15:13] opps wrong window :) [15:13] hwilde: common if you update with firefox open [15:13] shad_: I dont care [15:13] shad_: pastebin lsusb [15:13] ikonia, yeah it did some scrolly stuff and started up ok [15:13] Slart: what I did is this, in windows, extract the ISO to a folder on a fat32 partition, run wubi to install ubuntu... now 2 questions: 1) it just start install without giving me option for hard disk partion etc... 2) most importantly, it try to download everything from network, not using the file I just extracted from iso... [15:13] shad_: complaining isnt fixing anything [15:13] * ichat hates servicing windows computers - but unfortuatly its still part of my job :( [15:13] Fenix|work: I never found an explanation on that. "/usr/bin/id " should list the correct prim/sec groups. Then you're fine [15:14] right, keeps us in a job [15:14] rkvirani, http://pastebin.com/m4f046ea4 [15:14] shad_: Im glad you sat down for hours on the internet to learn about linux but it really isnt going to make your computer work if you just keep whining [15:14] Slart: yes I DO want to install, I do NOT need livecd... [15:14] shad_: thats lspci [15:14] xrfang: the livecd is the installer cd [15:14] I SAID 'lsusb' [15:14] rkvirani, please do not be so rude, i really love ubuntu [15:14] So do I :) [15:15] sudo apt-get install brain [15:15] now I need lsusb output not lspci [15:15] xrfang: I haven't used wubi myself but I think it uses some kind of big image file as a file system.. so you don't have to partition it.. I think it will use the cd/existing files for most packages.. or all packages in the default install [15:15] sudo apt-get install patience [15:15] oCean_, have any clues as where to look for permission settings on new directory creation and submission into CVS? It appears that when new directories are included into the repository g+w is excluded and then future checkouts fail. [15:15] rcshah -> there is /etc/environment and /etc/profiel for everyone or localized to .bashrc for a user [15:15] ikonia: yes I know, I just failed to burn the iso to a CD for 3 times, and I wonder I need to try again or not... [15:15] xrfang: have you md5'd the image ? === Linuturk_ is now known as Linuturk [15:15] hi [15:15] xrfang: but if you want a real install you have to either use a live cd to install.. or use the alternate install cd if you really don't want to run a live cd to install [15:15] anyone knows how to change the notifications theme? [15:16] rkvirani, http://pastebin.com/me3aabb4 [15:16] ikonia, yes I did, I downloaded twice, first one is wrong, 2nd one I downloaded through BT and did md5 it is correct. [15:16] Slart: alternative CD is a good option to try, thanks! [15:16] xrfang: if you don't want to burn a cd you can install from usb.. type !usb here in the channel for more info [15:16] maybe I should boot my nix instead and run win in virtualbox instead of the other way around :P [15:16] Fenix|work: not sure on cvs, but it might be the default umask for the users. [15:16] Slart: I don't want to use a file image etc. I intended to install and then get rid of windows [15:17] Slart: unfortunately I tried usb already, and it refused to boot. I will ask here tomorrow, when I try. thanks everyone! [15:17] I'm going crazy looking at the `fix your soundcard` tutorials at ubuntu on this one. usb headset did work, now it doesn't post update. have to unplug/plug in and run asoundconf-gtk after book to get them to work. anyone know where I should look to make a permanent fix? [15:17] !usb [15:17] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [15:17] xrfang: then it's 1. install using live cd or 2. install using alternate cd or 3. install using usb [15:18] hey everyone... I just did an upt-get upgrade and firefox got upgraded. Now I can't use it -- firefox opens up and it's just a blank window! [15:18] hoorah, it worked!

[15:22] shad_: though formally it needs some work. [15:22] mine issue is simple: 1) i need to unplug/plug my usb headphones, 2) i need to run asoundconf-gtk and select headphones and 3) everyone should solve mine problem as a priority. I mean, is that really to much to ask... :) [15:23] shad_: if you need to install svn type: apt-get install svn [15:23] yes [15:23] beehemoth: log a bug - then it will get worked on [15:23] Or do I need to join the queue of people who want their problem solved as a priority? [15:23] beehemoth: or if a bug exists, put a comment === Blaay is now known as bl === bl is now known as Blaay [15:23] I can't hear you, it must be my usb headphones [15:23] beehemoth: your number 1 problem is using the word "mine" where you should be using "my" :P [15:23] beehemoth: stop messing around [15:23] screen resolution question: Each user can set their own resolution; what file is this information stored in?

[15:24] oCean_, hehe any quick way of changing .profile in each home directory? It'll help that they're all identical. [15:24] rkvirani, ok i will try and thanks for your help [15:25] Fenix|work: I think editing the /etc/profile is the easiest way. [15:25] why are all my partitions called "Volume", can I rename them somewhere? [15:25] oCean_, true... I can then modify the root user's profile to 022 [15:25] * lasivian cautiously sees what else the kernel change has broken [15:26] shad_: no prob [15:26] Fenix|work: sure, or do something like if groupid = cvsusers, then .. etc [15:26] oCean_, even sweeter [15:27] hey guys [15:27] guyse [15:27] can i ask s.th i ghave a big problem [15:28] Just ask [15:28] rkvirani, http://pastebin.com/m2182dcdd [15:28] okay [15:28] rkvirani, it said couldn't find packages svn [15:28] craggi, you have to draw a lot wheter you are allowed to ask [15:29] i have a dell inspiron 9400 [15:29] hi, i have an external eSata drive which my Gnome (Ubuntu 8.10) shows upon connection in nautilus. how can I mark this drive as an external one, so that it will show up automtically on the desktop and can be mounted automatically?

[15:31] tommi_ -> do you really want that? or you only want your ~/ directory? [15:32] How can i tell Ubuntu not to use the badsectors on my hard drive? It constantly writes my stuff on the same badsectors rendering the files written on it useless. [15:32] is there no solution for the bluetooth problem? [15:32] Basem - only some apps support the MSN webcam feature. but afaik non support the voice feature [15:32] bhaka -> what made you so sure it writes back to those badsectors? what tools you used to verify these?

[15:35] Hi [15:35] hey [15:35] bhaka -> kernel makes lots of i/o errors but it does not mean its writing on a bad sector [15:35] shad_: apt-get install subversion [15:35] ubuntu gets better and better everytime isn't it? [15:35] bhaka nope, i dont know of such tools, thats why i asked you if you know a tool to back up your claim [15:36] the quick talk hover May or may not work - (meaning you press a hotkey - and releasing it will send the voice msg in wav format, - (like a walki talki) [15:36] at first, I didn't like it, but now every piece of hardware in my laptop is supported!

Or perhaps I should stick with my rock stable 8.04 and simply install all the necessary -dev packages and compile the tarballs myself. On the other than, 8.04 dev packages might be out of date.

[16:01] ok, i just wasnt sure how important the upgrade was [16:01] Wizzup - I've found some manuals (and even tried to use included in 8.10 software for creating USB disk), but finally it shows only two lines (first one is SYSLINUX bla-bla-bla and the second - "boot")and nothing else [16:01] xaos11: the upgrade will be offered to you via the package manager when it is available on your repo [16:01] you could install the compiz-icon it would be easeir [16:02] anonusing: Try what xaos11 said, the icon is useful [16:02] wizzup, whenever i did that it crashed my system or something... i installed anything to do with compiz from add apps [16:02] ok i just read that it was already out for intrepid so i thought something might have been wrong with apt.. like a pgp key or something [16:02] anonusing: I take it you have the correct drivers installed? [16:02] xaos11: maybe good to ask before messing around with tar files, changing repo's etc etc [16:02] ikonia :kthx [16:02] wizzup, yes i downloaded that. when i put compiz --replace, it:s the common problem of the windows disapearing but other things stop working too. i have to log out then.

[16:03] wizzup, i believe i have the correct drivers... i went through every turorial i could find... ATI [16:03] i can run compiz fine on my thinkpad which i think just has intel graphics [16:03] so it should run [16:03] I don't have alot of experience with ATI.

[16:59] ActionParsnip, weeks of project files on this thing ... i pray i can get it [16:59] xaos11, usually auto yes [16:59] celdridge, when you plug them in, does it pop up boxes? [17:00] xaos11, yes [17:00] celdridge: does it show up on another system [17:00] ActionParsnip, only other system i have is windows and this is formatted ext2 [17:01] celdridge, does it still report the same amount of free space? [17:01] xaos11, honestly not sure how much data was used and not ... so im not sure [17:01] celdridge: http://www.fs-driver.org/ [17:02] yeah thats good [17:02] but becareful [17:02] ActionParsnip, fsck just reported an error Unconnected directory inode 19562497 [17:02] Anybody here have a Dell?

[17:03] !recover [17:03] Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [17:03] Hello, all - is there a way to only update a specific package + dependencies using apt-get? [17:03] thanks [17:03] ActionParsnip, Why are you recovering me? [17:03] xaos11: now I can't activate the drivers 177, and X does not start [17:03] I'm trying to run 'apt-get upgrade package', but it always seems to want to upgrade things that aren't related at all [17:03] Sargun: weather its a dell or an IBM, it doesnt matter, its the hardware inside that counts, the plastic case and the sticker means nothing [17:03] ActionParsnip, I'm curious if anyone here has a Dell M4400? [17:03] celdridge -> do not , i repeat do not fsck a mounted partition, or else you'd damage the filesystem, happened to me already [17:03] ActionParsnip, I accidentally dropped off the model [17:03] dad: ok, when you try the nvidia run.sh what happens? did you also run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? [17:04] xaos11: I did [17:04] n8tuserff, yeah i unmounted it first [17:04] I did a 8.04->8.10 upgrade and now my icewm is not starting - any hints? [17:04] Sargun: again it oesnt matter much, just state your problem and we can advise [17:04] I must redowload the nvidia run file [17:04] I am back in a few minutes [17:04] ActionParsnip, I don't have a problem -- yet. I was just wondering people's general feel of the unit [17:04] ActionParsnip, where does it create the lost+found dir ? [17:04] dad: ok, you're going to need the kernel sources === sale_ is now known as sale [17:05] celdridge: on the root of the filesystem [17:05] erUSUL, said it was making it .. but there is nothing on that disk still [17:05] Sargun: then its offtopic for here, head to #ubuntu-offtopic [17:06] celdridge: :| "sudo fdisk -l /dev/whatever" shows the expected partition table ? [17:06] erUSUL, yes [17:06] celdridge: and if yu mount it manually does it make any difference ? [17:06] erUSUL, none at all sadly [17:06] erUSUL, still blank === dbrinegar is now known as dbrinegar-work [17:07] celdridge: you are navigating it with nautilus or with console tools (cd ls etc) === sadfasd is now known as DBO [17:07] how is it possible that my Kubuntu is much faster on a USB stick than on my hard drive? [17:07] flash is faster than hard disks [17:07] erUSUL, both produce the same issue ... even du shows 4k used .. although gparted shows 9gb used [17:08] blarg, I think I just ruined a flash drive [17:08] oh noes?! [17:08] what happened lasivian? [17:08] xaos11: it is? [17:08] PC locked up in the middle of formatting it [17:08] now it just flashes constantly and nothing detects it [17:08] xaos11: 18:07 < xaos11> flash is faster than hard disks <<<< normal flash is not... [17:09] cumulus007 yes flash is faster because no spinning disk etc, but the speed at which it connects to the system is probably not [17:09] xaos11: I got IDE at the moment, do you think a SATA drive would be as fast as a USB drive? [17:09] xaos11: only newer and expensive SSD from intel are [17:09] cumulus007 yes it would faster, but you should try hdparm on the ide [17:09] erUSUL yeah even linus torvalds says those intell ssds are good [17:09] xaos11: what's hdparm? [17:10] hey, did anyone else's spellcheck in firefox break with the most recent update? [17:10] !hdparm [17:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about hdparm [17:10] xaos11: it's a tool to manage disk drives, I see [17:10] celdridge: i'm out of ideas... sorry [17:10] xaos11: can it speed up my hard drive or something? [17:10] cumulus007: sometimes you can speed up disk transfer withthat [17:10] cool [17:10] yeah, there should be some tutorials somewhere [17:11] how to do that? [17:11] celdridge: maybe you can try photorec from the testdisk package [17:11] okay [17:11] um... google ubuntu hdparm [17:11] did that [17:11] Why can't I rename a Music folder?

[17:12] cumulus007 i don't know much about it. i only did hdparm once [17:12] homy: what's OneNote? [17:13] xaos11: I found this [17:13] http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-5551745.html [17:13] good tutorial [17:13] cumulus007: to test your hard disk speed do "sudo hdparm -tT /dev/whatever" === mkatz_ is now known as TopKatz [17:14] Timing cached reads: 1520 MB in 1.99 seconds = 762.78 MB/sec [17:14] Timing buffered disk reads: 170 MB in 3.02 seconds = 56.35 MB/sec === cs278^ktulu is now known as cs278 [17:15] cumulus007: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/onenote/default.aspx [17:15] cumulus007: pretty standar speed for a desktop hard drive... there is nothing wrong with your disk [17:16] mines only 566 /mb/sec [17:16] does anybody know how i open automessage properties? [17:16] homy: TomBoy? [17:16] in amsn? [17:17] any ideas why the installer sees a fakeraid mapping, even though I have all that disabled in the BIOS, AND have done my best to clear the hard drives of anything from a previous install.......... [17:17] I'm sure this has to be a FAQ but my google-fu is failing me. Why does Intrepid run two copies of GDM and two copies of the X server? [17:17] xaos11: well the cached read test is not interesting... you have to pay attention to the buffered disk reads value [17:17] cumulus007: no, isn't nearly as powerfull as OneNote. [17:17] "Write speed up to 6MB/sec Read speed up to 20MB/sec" <-- should that be sufficient for running Ubuntu from? [17:17] oh well thats like 54mb [17:17] Also, the whole concept is different.

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [21:31] hello, is anyone running individual windows apps in ubuntu under virtualbox with seamlessrdp? [21:31] lithixium the problem is that the windows driver package is clumsy and doesnt really fit my system, furthermore i want a big library of printer drivers, like CUPS offers it for linux. [21:32] how can I make gnome ask me for confirmation before deleting a file? [21:32] lithixium, the dist-upgrade just finished, and i get the same error [21:32] what are diference betwen server edition and desktop edition ? [21:32] dericku, the desktop [21:32] Gabriel_, Apart from what Windows own library offers, I don't know such a thing exists. Anyway the ubuntu library wouldn't work in Windows [21:32] keevie, ah [21:32] lithixium, https://keevie.privatepaste.com/613iKalpIi [21:32] aka GUI [21:33] as i understand it there is some bug with the gnome network tool in ubuntu 8.10, any idea how i can get it to autoselect the new connection i've made? rather than falling back on its home-made crack-pipe connection? [21:33] what does key mean under automatically join channels mean under network properties in xchat? [21:33] man i dislike that person PEER. it reseting alot of connetcion (LOL) [21:34] ... [21:34] how can I make gnome ask me for confirmation before deleting a file? [21:34] in console rm -i [21:34] lithixium so there is no way for using the existing library? I think it should be possible to write a programm which could read the library under windows, too [21:34] guru9, ? [21:34] its a pitty that there isnt such a thing out there, ubuntu is so much better at this [21:35] hi, what is the name of the "default" mp3 ripper in Ubuntu [21:35] brasero, isn;t it? [21:35] bubba, there is no such thing as an mp3 ripper, if you mean cd ripper i think sound juicer [21:35] brasero is burning [21:35] rhythmbox can be used to rip cd's [21:35] oh that was it [21:36] keevie, sound juicer whas the program I was looking for. Thanks [21:36] Anyone have any idea why my sound works for a while when I start my computer up [21:36] Then I do nothing but leave it on while I sleep [21:36] Wake up, try to play something, and it fails [21:37] Just completely mute, but alsamixer, Gnome Volume Control, etc. don't show mute or anything [21:37] Gabriel_, I think the best advice is to install the Windows driver without the added utility - but the ubuntu driver won't (to my knowledge) work. There is no CUPS for Windows === mgolisch is now known as mgolisch_NotMS === mgolisch_NotMS is now known as mgolisch [21:38] lol.. my compis was on :) Turned it of and jumped from 2300fps to 4100ish in glxgears :) [21:38] compiz* [21:39] lithixium, thats what i hate windows for. I cant install it without the added utilities [21:39] sathyrion: yeah compositing will cause a performance drop for sure. [21:40] Gabriel_, I haven't used Windows in a while, but the inf file is probably available somewhere on the disc or in the download, which you can install manually with the Windows utils. Anyway, can't you switch completely to Linux? [21:41] Lithixium, there are some applications that are Windows only and simply don't have a Linux alternative as of yet. [21:41] keevie, then how can i set up sound juicer to create mp3 files? [21:41] hey, how can I define file associations? I can't find that option in nautilus' preferences [21:41] bubba, im not sure, because i dont use it, look in the options? [21:41] like mp3 -> audacious, etc [21:42] Huufarted, that's true, but in my own experience I've managed to use Wine or virtualisation to solve the issues [21:42] lithixium, linux needs a lot of expertise and a huge bunch of hours to get into it. I do not really have the time, and to use linux without knowing what it really does is a step back, because i am "well educated" with windows XP stuff. When XP is not sold any longer i will have to switch. Maybe you could help me getting into it ;-) [21:43] yeah, Lithixium. That's true as well. There are some times where it's not an option. For instance, my wife is a middle school teacher and getting her school district to allow Linux on their work machines is about as easy as convincing Paris Hilton to leave men alone. [21:43] Gabriel_:i learned linux back in 1999 in about a year, and that was before it practically set itself up :) [21:43] i remember when getting quake 2 to work was a total pain in the a$$ :P [21:44] jrjfjf [21:44] так русских тут нет я смотрю [21:45] !gr [21:45] #ubuntu-gr και #kubuntu-gr για Έλληνες χρηστές / #ubuntu-gr kai #kubuntu-gr gia Ellhnes xrhstes [21:45] letalis, the problem i have is, that ubuntu does not let me see everything on a view.

Dreams do come trough :) hehe [21:49] ie. home theater setup, when you dont have enough speakers it emulates it through two [21:49] gotcha, Letalis [21:49] volume levels on the mids and back speakers may not be setup right [21:49] oCean_: I have Itrepid , but there is some ting wrong as you see [21:49] aiuw GIMP has many differences and misses some features that are very important to me. Photoshop is commercial, it will always be some steps further [21:49] How do I modify that in Ubuntu (if there is a way)? [21:50] Gabriel, are you able to run Photoshop through Wine? [21:50] mine is an audigy, trust me ive had fun getting ubuntu to juggle my four sound devices.

[22:38] JPSman http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [22:39] RAMDAC: pastebin the output of the ifconfig command [22:39] RAMDAC try "lspci" in the command line to identify which card u use [22:40] To use my soundcard, I'm supposed to have the package "snd-usb-audio" [22:40] Where is this? [22:40] spasticteaport try apt-get install snd-usb-audio [22:41] Myrtti: ok it is Realtek [22:42] spasticteapot: grep -i usb_audio /boot/config-2.6.27-11-generic [22:42] spasticteapot: it is in the kernel [22:42] ezerhoden: Hmm. [22:42] RAMDAC: which Realtek? [22:42] How do I get it to "talk" to my soundcard? [22:43] spasticteapot: that is probably only one part of it, what card do you have? [22:44] Myrtti: RTL8111/8168B [22:44] M-Audio Audiophile USB. [22:44] With newer versions of the kernel (post-2005), it's supposed to work without a firmware update. [22:44] hey, how do i enable that desktop cube thing, there was a command that let you get onto the control panel for all sorts of effects settings. [22:44] RAMDAC: perhaps someone else has more experience of that than I do [22:45] opr: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [22:45] ty :) [22:45] RAMDAC: pastebin the output of the ifconfig command [22:45] Myrtti : ok thank you [22:45] My Network Applet (nm-applet) does not have selection to set up a VPN like by other PC has. [22:45] opr: once you do that, look in System > Preferences for compizconfig settings manager [22:46] mneptok: Look i've found a solution by editing the etc/network/interfaces [22:47] anyone running CS4 Master Collection + wine ? [22:47] opr: then you need to enable desktop cube and rotate desktop [22:47] RAMDAC: what edits did you make? can you pastebin it? [22:48] mneptok:by writing in it "auto eth0 [22:48] iface eth0 inet dhcp" [22:48] RAMDAC: that will get you an automagic DHCP lease. hope that's what you want. [22:48] yep, thanks, mandrig, Jufis [22:48] opr: i mean rotate cube [22:48] no problem [22:48] mneptok: could u explain more plz? [22:48] opr: dont you happent to know any good mouse gesture software? :) [22:48] how do I install microsoft arabic fonts [22:49] nope, sorry heh :P [22:49] firefox is displaying arabic fonts in an ugly manner [22:49] whereas in windows, they display fine [22:50] did you install the ubuntu restricted extras? [22:50] mouka, [22:50] goodbye! [22:50] bye [22:50] macd__ whats up, email me sometime [22:51] RAMDAC: do you want a dynamic IP assigned by DHCP? [22:51] ezerhoden: How do I see a list of soundcards? [22:51] I'd rather not have to install new firmware - this is a dual-boot machine. [22:51] can i give a trash can to a separate ntfs partition? [22:51] mneptok:it doesn't matter but what if i want to change it? [22:51] Since fsck has screwed up all of nodes on the harddrives ie. linking /sbin/shutdown to /sbin/umount.cifs and its wont fix it properly, is there anyway to just use apt-get to force reinstall everything and thereby fixing the nodes and such? [22:51] hi [22:51] does anyone know the driver for the SysKonnect SK-9871 network controller ? [22:52] RAMDAC: the syntax of /etc/network/interfaces is well-documented :) [22:52] *sigh* is there a version of ubuntu server that DOESNT do any frame buffer stuff on boot [22:52] as in boots raw text mode [22:52] mneptok:where i can find it? [22:52] my remote management IPKVM doesnt like that frame buffer stuff [22:53] When I have a full screen game running, I can always lightly see my desktop and other windows behind it. How can I stop my full screen stuff from being slightly transparent? [22:54] mikeshollen: sounds like compiz is running [22:54] mikeshollen: disable compositing [22:55] ... you could make irc transparent w/ compositing? [22:55] is it possible to grep through a variable in a shell script? [22:55] what is command to see what version of kernel I am running?? [22:55] Dante123: uname -a [22:56] mneptok: There is another problem. [22:56] (or rather, make irc burn-through them windows on top of it?) [22:56] Can someone please help me with apt-get function? [22:57] Dante123-> uname -r [22:57] I'm weeTODDiddd [22:57] what about it? [22:57] !ping [22:57] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [22:57] list packages [22:57] !apt kronicKoH1 [22:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about apt kronicKoH1 [22:57] !apt | kronicKoH1 [22:57] kronicKoH1: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [22:57] !apt-get [22:58] Hello people of #ubuntu!

For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [22:58] kronicKoH1-> stop with the bot abuse [22:58] arkside [22:59] is it possible to grep through a variable in a shell script? [23:00] shingalated: elaborate can you? [23:00] hi [23:00] does any one know how to or know of the Xubuntu code for terminal? with out having to reinstall everything? [23:00] Marfi: Thanks [23:00] My Network Applet (nm-applet) says that my device is unmanaged === kronicKoH1 is now known as RussellAlan [23:00] RussellAlan, np [23:00] hi can anyone tell me what the small program that runs on the top of your screen its a tiny bar that has your system information on it cpu useage etc? [23:00] josh1: the "command" to run xubuntu's terminal should be just >terminal< [23:01] arghh2d2, I am trying to grep for ": directory" in the variable $RES [23:01] arghh2d2, "grep ': directory' $RES" does not work, that's what I have now [23:01] shingalated-> `echo $RES`? [23:02] "grep ': directory' `echo $RES`" [23:02] l [23:02] i've got a problem with synaptic. it's showing no packages whatsoever. i can use apt-get and apt-cache, but not synaptic. any ideas folks? [23:02] What can i do to fix this? When i click a link suddenly firefox won't show me the page but instead want to download the php-file, not always but like ever 3 time i click link.. it is annoying [23:02] when doing an apt-get, if it says size mismatch on the deb, where is it pulling that size from? [23:03] #join ubuntu fr [23:03] hello [23:03] is there a free lan messenger for linux? with no need for server and automatic detection of other clients in the lan?

[23:04] fiftyone: conky, maybe? [23:04] graingert: but i need firefox addons also [23:05] fiftyone: a deskbar applet? [23:05] step21_: ogame.lv [23:05] csc_ no it's a protocol you can add from the Manage/Add Accounts menu option [23:05] fiftyone: conky? [23:05] My Network Applet (nm-applet) says that my device is unmanaged [23:05] do the ati property drivers work with jaunty [23:06] RAMDAC: I think that's what happens when you configure it in /etc/network/interfaces [23:06] csc_ then you just enter a name for yourself to show up as, and you will see others on the network using Bonjour [23:06] Rencx: then try konqueror and if it works there check for plugins you installed for firefox recently that might cause this [23:06] Commie_Cary: 1) Jaunty stuff goes in #ubuntu+1, not here. 2) No. We're waiting on an update from ATI. [23:06] good evening (or whatever it is there) good sirs and ma'ams! I've got a problem while trying to execute a .jar file (particularly: finchsync.jar); while it runs properly I can't click the "OK" button in the error dialog which pops up informing me of no config file being present; I'm attempting to run the .jar by doing java -jar finchsync.jar (either this or gij -jar finchsync.jar) [23:06] is there a way to force synaptic to reload its db? [23:06] rww: yes you are right on what u just said ? but can i fix it [23:06] jrib, might be, however this is a small thin bar === jgoguen is now known as jgoguen|class [23:07] RAMDAC: You can't use both /etc/network/interfaces and NetworkManager for the same interface. It's by design, and isn't an error or bug. [23:07] fiftyone: why don't you post a screenshot? Conky is pretty customizable... [23:07] step21_: can you explain this word: konqueror [23:07] oh, if this changes anything - every now and then I manage to get through that dialog but the app freezes with the main window shown [23:07] Rencx: it's the browser from kde [23:07] thanks arghh2d2 [23:08] jrib, sure [23:08] konquerror is the default web browser for Kde (or Kubuntu) [23:08] mattfletcher: press the "Reload" button in the Synaptic window. From the command-line, "sudo apt-get update". [23:08] correction it's not synaptic, it's "add/remove applications" that is empty [23:08] step21_: ty will try [23:08] rww: sorry!

[23:09] Hey all, friend has Dell Inspiron 1501 but needs dialup internet to work. I am going over to his house. I have downloaded the modem driver deb file (in case it isn't already installed) and gnomeppp.deb file too. Anything else you think I will need to get dialup working on his Ubuntu 8.10 setup??? [23:09] you know i downloaed conky aand i cant do anything with it, it just pops in as a little box no options nothing [23:09] mattfletcher: Does it look like http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20247925/Screenshot.png ? [23:09] i googled around, tried a few things.. it is not mounted, (when it is, then on /mnt/cdrom , w/o a cdrom0) [23:10] this may not be ubuntu speciic [23:10] fiftyone, Check the official site for theming/config advice. [23:10] my CD is no longer recognized at all any clue what would cause this? [23:10] how can I mount a NFS share with nautilus which is configured in /etc/fstab? It worked in 8.04 but in 8.10 this functionaily seems to be gone :-/ [23:10] Dante123: some way of updating via CD :P [23:10] blizzle, i am not themeing, i just want to know what that program is [23:10] running at the top of the screen [23:11] Dante123: or, all ubuntu repositories on a huge external disk [23:11] fiftyone: that's just a customized conky [23:11] fiftyone: conky [23:11] fiftyone: http://maketecheasier.com/10-of-the-best-linux-desktop-customization-screenshots-to-inspire-your-creativity/2008/11/28 see #4 [23:11] fiftyone, It's a basic system monitoring tool. Can be configured in many ways, very lightweight. You might also want to check gkrellm, as an alternative/additional tool. [23:11] rww: exactly like that [23:11] mattfletcher: okay. Have you installed Adobe AIR? [23:12] rww: ok is there an alternative way instead editing etc/network/interfaces [23:12] thanks all [23:12] mattfletcher: If so, there's a bug that causes that: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-app-install/+bug/311455 [23:12] RAMDAC: to do what? [23:12] hi folks, i just used resize2fs and then lvreduce to reduce an ext2-on-lvm partition - if i run fsck -f on it now and it is ok, does this mean it's all good? or is it still possible i screwed something up? [23:12] When I listen to music the sound will stop for one second every once in awhile. Any ideas? I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 32bit.

[23:14] <|ns|nR8> mine did it on audacious..i went into preferences, audio and changed the current output plugin and it fixed it [23:14] RAMDAC: There are a bunch of different ways to manage network connections: NetworkManager, the interfaces file, wicd, etc. Each one is incompatible with the other. The idea is that you pick one and use only that one. [23:14] <|ns|nR8> dunno if that will help you [23:14] ummmm wth? i just installed ubuntu on my laptop, went to add/remove applications... and everything in it says "cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)\ [23:14] Intello, do: sudo apt-get update [23:14] okay, I've found a workaround for my problem (quote: "good evening (or whatever it is there) good sirs and ma'ams!

[23:15] rww: i want to use the NetworkManager [23:15] |ns|nR8, I have them set on autodetect. [23:15] i was just wondering [23:15] RAMDAC: then remove the stuff in /etc/network/interfaces related to the interface you're using, and configure it in NetworkManager instead. [23:16] Is there a way to set nvidia/ubuntu to switch to a single-monitor if the other is unplugged? [23:16] lockd: You mean the system startup/shutdown/runlevel scripts? They work with the interfaces file, yeah. [23:16] <|hashbang|> RAMDAC: make a backup copy of that file before removing anything =) [23:16] I want to use a voice/fax modem to record a phone call (so I can interview a client over the phone).

[23:17] my CD is no longer recognized at all any clue what would cause this? [23:17] rww: the problem is that when i use NetworkManager the internet connection become disabled i don't know why? [23:17] <|hashbang|> Smegzor: are you going to tell them you are recording them? [23:17] of course [23:17] rww: well, I still have scripts in /etc/rc.d, because I didn't feel like writing init-style scripts [23:17] <|hashbang|> Smegzor: there are phone adapters for that purpose [23:17] why isnt ubuntu 8.10 using Firefox 3.0.6? [23:17] my plan is to have them explain their project while I record my desktop and follow them through it. [23:17] <|hashbang|> Smegzor: are you in the US? if so, try radio shack [23:18] Does NetworkManager work with multihomed hosts at all?

[23:22] its as ancient as irc itself [23:22] weird... when i did "sudo eject -sv /dev/scd0" the last line of output was "eject: SCSI eject succeeded", yet the drive did not eject [23:22] had to physically take it out [23:22] so to cut a long story short, is it not possible to record the phone line just using a voice modem? I know it can be done in Windows. [23:23] Is there a way to set nvidia/ubuntu to switch to a single-monitor if the other is unplugged? [23:23] happyface_0: the program nvidia-settings will allow you to make changes like that without modifying the X server settings [23:24] I would have the client use Skype but they are Brethren (no modern technology) [23:24] Smegzor It requires a special vice modem and special windows software. To the best of my knowledge, there is no equivalent. If you find one.. Please msg me here so I can check it out.. thanks [23:24] ok [23:24] letalis: I've checked that out, but I don't see an option to auto-switch to single-view mode when a monitor is unplugged [23:24] I only lack the special windows software atm [23:24] I wonder if I can pull it off with my XP running in VirtualBox? [23:24] happyface_0: usually i just disable the second screen and hit apply from within that program [23:25] i dont think theres a way to auto disable it. [23:25] thanks, letalis but I was looking for something automatic [23:26] i dont think it even disables it completely in windows. [23:26] i know the documentation says otherwise, but is it actually possible to update 7.10 to 8.04 to 8.10 from the normal install cd? (has anyone real (i.e. not from the documentation) experience in this?) [23:26] Yes, it does :) [23:29] naxa: it could probably be done, but honestly, id attempt to save your filesystems in an 8.10 install. i imagine quite a bit changed between 7x and 8.10 [23:31] Naxa, I have successfully done what you are talking about [23:31] any lvm/linux people here - i just resize2fs and then lvreduce'd a partition - if i run fsck -f and it turns out ok am i in the clear? [23:32] naxa, but you have to keep in mind many people have problems just updating from 8.04 to 8.10.... [23:32] id say clean install on everything with the exception of your home directory. [23:33] at least that way you retain your home folders. [23:33] letalis, yes, that would be ideal [23:33] Titan8990, can you help me to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04? second thing do you tell me that i shouldn'T upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10? [23:33] naxa, no I am telling you that it CAN work but it also may not [23:34] naxa, letalis' suggestion of a clean install IS ideal [23:34] it can be done so that you retain your /home directory [23:34] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [23:34] letalis, only if /home is on its own partition [23:34] that way, itll clean out anything old and install the system fresh without any of the old stuff left behind [23:35] yeah thats the drawback to it. [23:35] Titan8990, letalis i see. i can backup my home i think. but can you tell me how can i do the upgrade from cd? i would give it a try after backup. if it fails, i will do the normal install. also i am curious how to do that from the normal cd. [23:35] also, backup any files you customized with root [23:35] but really, just backing up /home and then restore it will be sufficient for most [23:35] the other option would be backup your home folder(s) and install 8.10 from scratch [23:35] how does one install an X server with debug symbols in intrepid?
