gmspenceanyone able to help me with my vpn connection - i can successfully authenticate however I can't get any traffic to go through the tunnel onto the internet.....00:00
Titan8990Rustyt0n, and what does the officail aircrack website say about your chipset?00:00
Rustyt0nthat its supported for linux00:00
^hashbang^dmsuperman: well, you will still need the nvidia drivers... so I'm not sure...00:00
Rustyt0nbut i need to get the drivers so i can use the wireless card00:00
^hashbang^Scunizi: why not.. I do it all the time00:00
bjb1959I guess I'll try later since no one here seems to know00:00
dmsuperman^hashbang^: They're installed00:00
dmsuperman^hashbang^: I just have to insmod them whenever I reboot lol00:00
Scunizidmsuperman: did you install nvidia drivers that came directly from the nvidia site?00:01
^hashbang^dmsuperman: yea I know, but 9.04 isn't going to make this issue go away... it's something else, just not sure what yet.00:01
dmsupermanScunizi: Aye00:01
steve-ois there help here or is there a better place00:01
Titan8990Rustyt0n, first off, is your problem that your wireless doesn't work or it doesn't inject?00:01
Rustyt0nit doesnt work00:01
dmsuperman^hashbang^: Oh no I mean hopefully some of my issues will be cleared up00:01
Rustyt0nits not showing on iwconfig00:01
^hashbang^dmsuperman: oh oh, well I'd hope so =)00:02
Titan8990Rustyt0n, let me see the lspci line for your wireless device00:02
redvamp128!ask | steve-o:00:02
ubottusteve-o:: 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. :-)00:02
dmsuperman^hashbang^: Like I'll perhaps be able to use PAE + nvidia drivers without issue, or maybe (just maybe) flash 64bit will be usable by then :P00:02
^hashbang^dmsuperman: sorry, my eyes are starting to get blurry =)00:02
Huufartedtoo much hash?  *RIMSHOT*00:02
dmsuperman^hashbang^: Hehe, time for bed or more coffee00:02
Scunizidmsuperman: when I installed mine I first opened synaptic and uninstalled all references to nvidia that were installed.. then installed from a tty with the gdm stopped.. worked like a champ.. put 180.29 in today and automatically uninstalled the 180.22 drivers I had in there.00:02
^hashbang^dmsuperman: I am using flash 64bit just fine =)00:02
Dr_Willissteve-o,  i think one can run network manager from the terminal with  some commnd that starts with 'nm- ' but i dont know the full name.. try 'nm<TABKEY> ' and see what it fills in.00:02
gmspenceplease anyone that can help me route traffic over my VPN then please PM me....i'm going bald pulling my hair out!00:02
Rustyt0ni tried lspci, but its not showin there either, i thougth that there had to be a specific command line for it, ty very much Titan00:02
dmsuperman^hashbang^: Flash will load maybe once in 15 attempts using 64bit for me00:03
steve-othanks i'll try that now00:03
redvamp128Rustyt0n:  dmesg ?00:03
jessdoes anyone know if there is a "Linux FAQ" on the ubuntu forums00:03
Titan8990Rustyt0n, is it a usb device?00:03
Rustyt0nyes Titan00:03
dmsupermanScunizi: I've learned long ago to not even install the nvidia repos versions00:03
^hashbang^dmsuperman: did you install the version from labs.adobe.com?00:03
Scunizijess: what info are you looking for.. basic stuff?00:03
Titan8990Rustyt0n, then it will show in: lsusb00:03
dmsuperman^hashbang^: Yeah, flash 10 latest beta?00:03
Dr_Willisjess,  theres faq's all over the internet :)00:03
Titan8990Rustyt0n, also, NO usb wireless devices are supported for injection00:03
jessyeah.. more so propagand for other users/ friends Scunizi  Dr_Willis00:03
sathyrionDoes the nvidia drivers support HDMI out? Never tried.. only used VGA cable to mu LCD TV.00:04
Huufartedjess, something like this?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/Guide00:04
^hashbang^dmsuperman: yea00:04
mjcsathyrion: yes00:04
dmsupermanScunizi: With the exception of intrepid on my laptop they've never even worked00:04
dmsuperman^hashbang^: Yeah, doesn't work :P00:04
Scunizijess: check out www.scribd.com and search for whatever you want.. there's a lot of downloadable pdf books there and stuff you can read right online..00:04
^hashbang^dmsuperman: what!!00:04
dmsuperman^hashbang^: Yup :P00:04
steve-oDr_Willis - it gave me some suggestions but i want the gui00:04
^hashbang^dmsuperman: hmm, open firefox and do about:plugins00:05
Dr_Willissteve-o,  try running them and see.. i dont know what one launches the gui tool00:05
evilGUIanyone know if it's possible to have list view on the Desktop in GNOME?00:05
Scunizidmsuperman: suprizingly the 177 drivers worked for me on my laptop with an 8400 card in hardy but wouldn't on my desktop with an 8200 card.. the 180.29 drivers actaully make the screen writes almost tolerable.00:05
steve-othanks again00:05
HuufartedevilGUI, good idea.  I'd like that, too.00:05
Scunizidmsuperman: desktop was intrepid00:06

Dr_WillisDmole,  they are shown here.. history has some options that dont show/repeate/identical commands also..however.. so ls 3 times wont get shown 3 times...00:12

HuufartedRedvamp, that's not necessary.  I wanted to because the screenshots I've seen do not yet match what I have in GNOME.00:25

^hashbang^hiya alltax00:25
tcpt26then i manually edited the menu.lst with vista info ... but when grub is booting ... the windows option dont show00:25
exodus_msmartin_, I'm not sure what you mean by that, are you saying you don;t see a make file00:25
redvamp128Huufarted:  can you post a screenshot at www.imagebin.ca so I can see what you see00:25
alltaxI have made a little scriptfile to run xfig in a enviroment that is more suited for me but how can I make it open a file by using gnome? the script looks like this "LANG=sv_SE.ISO-8859-1 xfig -but_per_row 4"00:26
HuufartedRedvamp128, that's not necessary.  The screenshots just show preferences changed a bit.  I can work through that no problem.00:26
HuufartedRedvamp, I just jumped the gun assuming I was using something other than Nautilus, that's all.00:26
redvamp128Huufarted:  something simple if you want to see path-- click the icon that looks like a pencil and paper changes the bar inside (most common thing people don't think looks like theirs)00:27
martin_exodus_ms,  u see gnome vfs in some there...00:27
^hashbang^alltax: try ##gnome they might be able to help00:28
tcpt26i also tried to run grub and root (hd0,2) (this  is where the /boot/grub/stage1 is) and setup (hd0) but nothing00:28
redvamp128Huufarted:  though depending on your theme that can also change Nautilus.00:28
alltaxI saved the file in /usr/bin and configured nautilus to open .fig files with my script but what happens is that xfig opens empty00:28
HuufartedRedvamp128, I'm actually not half as retarded as I look lol.  I even administer a few Linux servers.  However, there's just a HUGE difference between my job that uses 100% command line on Red Hat to 80% graphical Ubuntu00:28

n8tuserdmi3on -> use scp please00:29
Huufarteddmi3on, my advice is to not use the VNC file transfer and instead use FTP.  BUT barring that, can you just not find the option or do the files just not transfer?00:29
exodus_msmartin_, I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time understanding what you are talking about? You are trying to install nautilus, but you don't want to use the repositories even though the version available is the newer version your trying to 'make' at the moment00:30

tcpt26i think00:36
redvamp128kingsley:  yes though it is recommended to run it live first give it a try .00:36
exodus_mskingsley, 8.04 is an LTS (long term support) other than that there is not much difference as far as learning Linux is concerned with the different distributions00:36

exodus_msmartin_, ok, tell me exactly why your are trying to compile nautilus00:37
tcpt26^hashbang^: but even when i update my kernel, the boot didnt change, i had to remove the menu.lst and the update-grub00:37
n8tuserjtaji ->  far too many issues in 8.10, hang around here for a while and you'll notice00:37
martin_./configure exodus_ms  make and make install00:37
tcpt26^hashbang^: and then update-grub00:37
jtajin8tuser: 8.04 had issues for plenty too, and both work fine for most00:38
^hashbang^tcpt26: hmm00:38
exodus_msmartin_, no, why are you trying to compile instead of using the repos, are you looking for a more 'lightweight' file manager?00:38
kingsleyjtaji: Thanks. I agree with your reasoning. You asked "why run an older version?". If I were to play devil's advocate, I might say that sometime newer software has more bugs.00:38
martin_yessssssssssssssssssssss00:38
HuufartedI use 8.10 and the only problem I've had was having to get and compile ath5k for my Atheros.00:38

tcpt26^hashbang^: and the windows options dont shows00:39
^hashbang^tcpt26: and when you boot, can you pick a kernel option from the boot menu?00:40
exodus_msmartin_, sudo apt-get install thunar00:40
^hashbang^tcpt26: hmm00:40
tcpt26^hashbang^: yup00:40
jtajikingsley: I don't find that true in the linux world really, I would try 8.10 first00:40
n8tuserinertial -> once mounted, you can use your common linux tools00:40

n8tusermib_z0uxs4 -> perhaps get an older kernel that has a known issues, newer ones are patched01:49
n8tuserbenjamin_1 -> depends, of what i may have for breakfast01:49
jonaskoelkermib_z0uxs4: are you just trying to make your program crash?01:49
mib_z0uxs4oh yes im tryin this on ubuntu 8.1001:49
bazunop, your suggestion seems very good, what do u think of yoyoned's rc.local suggestion? Better, worse, matter of preference?01:49

jriblinny1: really?  that's the full output?01:49
linny1jrib: yes01:50
jriblinny1: erm, so you've messed with groups?01:50
unopbaz, /etc/rc.local is run as root - which means all scripts spawned from it are run as root too - now, that might not be what you want01:50

linny1yes ubuntu 804 lts01:51
mib_z0uxs4at this point im just trying to overwrite with AAA's01:51
mib_z0uxs4the app i made has a buff size of 1001:51
jriblinny1: did the install complete successfully?  This is not normal behavior.  Your user should have more groups...01:51
unopbaz, the advantage of rc.local is that it is run on boot - even when a user has not logged on physically at a console - and that can be used to launch script in the background - but usually you'd write your own init script then01:51
mib_z0uxs4and even if i send a 100 A's to it i cant overwrite eip01:51
n8tusermib_z0uxs4 -> umm why not try it againts older kernels? you may have better luck with the older ones..like 2.6.11 perhaps..01:52
^hashbang^mib_z0uxs4: did you take a look at http://kerneltrap.org/node/578301:52
bazunop, ahh, very important to knnow because actually some of the scripts would not work if run as root (which is sudo, right?) - strange I know, usually root is not safe but atleast gets u where u want to go - in my case i wouldn't be able to get there01:52

Dexitritium: system>prefernces>sound: Playback "MY Card (OSS)" Music and Movies "My Card (OSS)"03:42

ubottuDexi, have you followed this?: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

fwaokdais there a detailed battery meter i can use with ubuntu? I bought a battery online and am wanting to see if its actually what they said it was...04:04
jbmigel_2 what if you just use a tty console on your laptop to run xrand commands think that will get you anywhere04:04
_2jbmigel i got one guy in #debian to talk to me about it,  seemed at first like a nice enough chap.   gave me one command to run "an xrandr command of course" which turned off both the lcd and the crt.  when i told him what it did, he got mad at me. and stopped talking to me.04:04
_2jbmigel sure.   that's where i have been working, because xorg is hosed.04:04
jbmigel_2 if you mess up with xrand commands you can restart the computer and they go away04:04

jbmigel_2 ya maybe... so ok i dont get it you want to fix xorg first then right and worry about external monitor later04:06
Lucifer_Catok so someone suggested this before, and im following up on it... i installed *buntu, and then i installed packages like sshd and tightvnc etc. now what should i do so i dont have to install them again the next time i do a clean install?04:06
EtFbfwaokda: In a konsole, you can get all the battery info you need: cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/*04:06
soreaumib_ytomitbs: You need to install the driver in Sys>Admin>Hardware Drivers04:06
chu_constantine_ if you use synaptic I believe they have all the officially *supported* themes available04:06
fwaokdaEtFb, thanks!04:06
fwaokdaill try that04:06
_2jbmigel oddly enough consoles display correctly in both the lcd and the crt    and xorg works if the external is not plugged in.04:06
mib_ytomitbssoreau, if I do that, I get a solid white screen upon reboot.04:06
simzeeHello! I use Ubuntu Eee (latest version), and I try to connect with my Huawei E169 usb modem, which should work out of the box, but it just gets ignored somehow. I use an Asus Eee 900 (as far as i remember) Could anyone tell me what to do now? ._.04:06

EtFbfwaokda: The key information is the total manufactured capacity and the last charge.  You can expect a battery to lose its ability to fully charge over time.04:06
soreaumib_ytomitbs: That means it's installing it wrong, most likely because you used envy or tried to install a driver manually04:07
_2jbmigel i would like to setup xorg to use only the crt  if i could04:07
snakedocdoes anyone know how to work evolution mail with gmail account?04:07

mib_ytomitbssoreau, how can I wipe all driver and xorg settings, and then retry this?04:07
jbmigel_2 it really sounds to me like you just need to give the right xrandr command perhaps just before you plug in the external04:07
fwaokdaEtFb, says that directory doesn't exist04:07
EtFbfwaokda: Do you have /proc/acpi?  Look in there.  I may have misremembered the path from there.04:08
jbmigel_2 you saw the second example command in the link i sent? it says it will give you external monitor only04:08

mib_ytomitbsI mean, I am to the point where I am considering doing a fresh install.. This is absurd.04:08

_2jbmigel two of them about half an inch wide top to bottom.04:12
jbmigel_2 do you think maybe you are trying to use a resolution the screen doesnt support? try 640x480 in the xrandr command04:12
EtFbfwaokda: "design capacity" tells you what the maximum charge capacity was when the battery was manufactured.  It's measured in mAh (milliamp hours).  "last full capacity" says how fully it was charged the last time you charged it.  That will start out close to the d.c. but get lower over time; there's nothing you can do about that, it's normal.04:12
soreauKkoala: The program you have downloaded is for windows, not linux. If there is no linux version of the program already you can try running it with wine (ask in #wine)04:12

rwwAuctioneldlama: [20:10:24]<soreau>mib_ytomitbs: You're upgrading at this very moment?04:12

_2jbmigel that crt is a little old but does everyting from 320x200 to 1600x128004:13
AuctioneldlamaSoreau, Oh yes I am. I figured upgrade now, so if I did get it working on 8.04, and upgraded it later, it could mess it up.04:13

EtFbfwaokda: For example, my brand-new Toshiba A300 has a design capacity of 4000mAh, but because the battery is a few weeks old, it can't charge more than 3863mAh.  In a year's time, the way I use my laptops, that will probably be down to 2000 or so.04:13
fwaokdaEtFb, :( the one i bought was supposed to be DC @ 5200mAh, yet it says its 4400mAh dang ebay04:14
snowysoreau: you are right, my .matlab is owned by root. I tried sudo chown -R myusername .matlab/ but no luck04:14
jbmigel_2 could you try a different resolution and see if the screen changes or stays the same?04:14
Jaan|Perfecthi all04:14
_2Peddyt LIST="your package list here" ;sudo apt-get install $LIST04:14
Jaan|Perfectgood morning04:14
Jaan|Perfecti would like to test my laptop [ almost 3 years old ]04:14
EtFbfwaokda: What does it say for the model number?04:14
Jaan|Perfecti have installed ubuntu 8.10 inteprid [ 600+ mb iso file] in vmware workstation04:14
Jaan|Perfecthow do i test my laptop and send a report to the laptop wiki ?04:14
FloodBot1Jaan|Perfect: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.04:14
fwaokdaEtFb, model number is blank04:14
soreauAuctioneldlama: Alright. In that case, don't try to install the proprietary driver (in Sys>Prefs>HW Drivers) since Intrepid has the open radeon driver version that supports your card. Chances are you will need to delete xorg.conf altogether after the upgrade is finished (since it will load the correct driver by default)04:15
fwaokdaEtFb, i guess someone just "made" it04:15
EtFbJaan|Perfect: You can't.  If you're running in VMware, you can't get a clear idea of how it's working in your laptop, because it isn't.04:15
EtFbfwaokda: Odd!04:15
soreausnowy: Well that was my one and only guess, sorry04:15

Auctioneldlamasoreau, should I erase xorg.conf before it finishes updating?04:15

bartekHi there. I want to be able to access my machine via ssh from outside my network (behind a router). I forwarded port 1985 (my ssh port) to the ubuntu boxes ip address on the network but when I do ssh <my external ip> -p1985 it just sits there and eventually closes connection. I can do ssh localhost -p1985 quite fine though. Any tips?04:16
linux_guythat should be a requirement for joining here04:16
fwaokdaEtFb, http://rafb.net/p/JD4O5Z89.html04:16
Jaan|Perfectbut how do i install an iso file on my laptop ?04:16
_2jbmigel ok it changes size.  but the picture is exactly the same.04:16
Auctioneldlamasoreau, Oh alright. And after wards, I don't have to install anything, just delete xorg.conf, and reboot and I'm ready to go? Will that also support 3d acceleration so I can play 3d games and use compiz with my dual screen setup?04:16
chu_Yeah, I was thinking that too (As 8.10 doesn't detected my battery), what are the chances of 9.10 running *stable* now?04:16
soreausnowy: That is correct. As user from a terminal use: sudo chown -R $LOGNAME ~/.matlab04:16
Peddyt_2, the package list is in a text file.04:16
chu_9.04 rather04:17
Cpudan80bartek: shh ip -p 198504:17
Droopsta915What should I install when installing wine? wine, wine-dev, winefish?04:17
Cpudan80bartek: Are you sure you got the space between the p and the port # ?04:17
Auctioneldlamadroopsta915: Wine04:17
Peddyt_2, the package list is in a text file, which is formatted like the pastebin paste that I mentioned above. I can't just copy and paste it into apt-get, because it's oddly formatted.04:17
snowysoreau: Thanks, it worked :)04:17
Auctioneldlamasoreau?04:17
Droopsta915thanks04:17
EtFbfwaokda: Weird.  Ah well, what did it cost you?04:17
soreauAuctioneldlama: It does support 3D acceleration and you can play games but the proprietary drivers work better for graphically intense games. The open driver is better for compiz and video playback04:18
fwaokdaEtFb, DC: 48.8wh  ??04:18
fwaokdaEtFb, thats what the gnome one says04:18
jbmigel_2 wow it really seems like its close to working... how about if you use the third xrandr command... and try to just set your laptops monitor active04:18
fwaokdaEtFb, does 48.8wh = 4400mAh ?04:18
bartekCpudan80: uh, I dont think the space matters because I've never used a space after a single dash (-) arg. But I tried it with a space and it doesn't work either04:18
_2Peddyt so use grep, cut, to format it04:18
linux_guyis there a driver that will allow compiz and video files to play nicely?04:18
Auctioneldlamasoreau: Oh I see. So all I have to do is just let the distro upgrade, reboot, then delete xorg.conf, reboot again, and everything should work just dandy?04:18
EtFbfwaokda: I don't know enough about electronics to even begin to guess.04:18
Cpudan80bartek: no firewalls on the serveR?04:19
Cpudan80I cant type today apparently04:19
Peddyt_2, how would I do that?04:19
prince_jammysPeddyt: it's in the format readably by dpkg --set-selections04:19
prince_jammys*readable04:19
soreauAuctioneldlama: Finish upgrade, rename xorg.conf to xorg.conf.bak then reboot and it should work (hopefully)04:19
jtajifwaokda: divide the 48.8Wh by the battery voltage, then multiply by 1000, and you'll have mAh04:20
bartekCpudan80: good point, I setup iptables. I'll check them out04:20
* linux_guy pulls his hair out04:20
EtFbfwaokda: In Australia at the moment, a ~4000mAh battery tends to cost around $100 AUD, which is about 50 euros.04:20
bartektotally forgot :)04:20
AuctioneldlamaSoreau: Oh ok, just like triple checking here: So I let the distro finish (don't reboot yet?) delete xorg.conf (or rename it) and then reboot?04:20
EtFbfwaokda: Or twice that if you want a warranty...04:20
Peddytprince_jammys, I understand, but how would I install it? I do 'dpkg --set-selections installed-software.txt', what do I do after that?04:20
Cpudan80easy to forget about04:20
fwaokdaEtFb, haha ok ;) i paid: 52.95 USD04:20
fwaokdaEtFb, plus 12.95 shipping (2nd day air)04:21

ubotturedline565353:: 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. :-)04:21
EtFbfwaokda: You did OK then.  Expect it to last a year and a half of really solid use (ie draining and charging entirely every single day) and you'll be OK.04:21
fwaokdaEtFb, alright well thanks been a big help04:22
b3z3rk3rfwaokda, never drain your battery fully04:22
Auctioneldlamasoreau, So if I do what I said above, it should work, correct?04:22
b3z3rk3rLi-ion batteries like to be charged frequently04:22
Droopsta915Will wine automatically try to install my .exe file when I double click on it?04:22
prince_jammysPeddyt: sudo dpkg --set-selections < yourfile && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade04:22
soreauAuctioneldlama: Yes, but I will be working and may or may not be available. If it doesn't work, the very best thing you can do is ask in #compiz-fusion in about 10 hours from now04:22
HectorGASP.04:22
Auctioneldlamasoreau Alright will do. Too bad I have to work and don't get back until 2:25 EST.04:23
EtFbb3z3rk3r: There's a lot of advice around about batteries.  The advice I got from experts at the local battery shop boils down to: you get 1000 cycles (ie charge+drain = 1 cycle) and then it's an ideal anchor for a small boat.04:23
redline565353i'm having problems when trying to install cd drive only loads grub and gets to the "setup" menu and then after that it says error loading bootdisk. i'm downloading another copy and going to try that but i need to think of other ways to install ubuntu04:23

metalpresis there a way to force a device to keep the same id number on boot,  by id number i meant the id number thats listed when you use the command 'xinput list'04:55
soreau_2: Then you're definitely asking in the wrong channel ;)04:55
_2soreau heh.  because it's not gnome either huh ?  :)04:56
metalpresi have a gamepad that requires me to use a certain command everytime i boot for it to work properly but the command requires entering the id number, but the id number changes everytime to I cant set it to just do it automatically04:56
soreau_2: Go show the radeon guys your x log, be patient. They're much more qualified to solve both your video related issues04:56

eater9hi - my screen gets very dim whenever I change consoles or suspend and resume my laptop; i have to use the brightness controls to bring it back up. How can I fix that?04:59
mneptok_2: boot the machine. look for the "Press <ESC> to enter the GRUB menu" prompt. do so. choose recovery mode.04:59
ScottG489Glassworks: Hm, I think metacity is gnomes window manager. I could be wrong. I use compiz. I would know how to solve your problem with compiz but otherwise I don't know if there is a way to fix that in metacity05:00
_2mneptok there isn't a recovery mode.   why do you want me to do that ?05:00

ubottuIf you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

alapTitan8990: yes i checked with dmesg also but i am getting following lines as 1) serial_lcd: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel. 2) serial_lcd: Unknown symbol usb_serial_register. 3) serial_lcd: Unknown symbol usb_serial_deregister. so please specify me what to do05:48

Titan8990alap, upload the whole dmesg there05:49
_2jeff__ you want shred05:49
rip__2: didnt know about -i, but -rf was what i was trying to remember.  -i makes more sense05:49
maximeI like this chan, pretty friendly05:49
_2rip_ debian based distros generally don't alias the rm command so -f generally isn't needed or wanted05:49
redline565353ok i pressed e to edit the kernal and i got "<OOTFLAGS=syncio" do i put a space?05:49
* rip_ cheers maxime05:49

Titan8990that was what the entire kernel line said?05:50
bernzJamesG, if you've already installed and set up X, probably just add 'startx' to the end of one of your startup scripts (look in /etc/rc?.d/*05:51
redline565353no thats after the rootflags bit i didnt scroll back to see rest05:51
_2rip_ redhat based distros generally "did" alias rm="rm -i"   so -f was needed to counter act the -i05:51
rip__2: ooooh ok, gotchya05:51
usserJamesG, did u install x server?05:51
Titan8990redline565353, yes, put a space, but it usually ends in:  splash quiet05:51
Titan8990redline565353, I have never used wubi though05:51
JamesGbernz: I haven't yet. I assume that, since there's a desktop version, there might be a package I can use.05:51
alapTitan8990, http://paste.ubuntu.com/117539/05:51
rip__2: yea the last time i did any file manipulation was back in like 2000 on redhat05:51
rip__2: using shell**05:52
usserJamesG, you generally don want to install gnome or any metapackage like ubuntu-desktop on a server it has so much cruft05:52
bernzJamesG, yep, i just can't think of the package name off-hand (it's probably not simply 'x')05:52
JamesGI did manage to do some googling via links (happy happy joy joy), and it appears to suggest the ubuntu-desktop package05:52
JamesGusser: It was installed as a server, I'm converting it to a desktop05:52
bernzoh yeah, perhaps xfce is lightweight enough05:52
JamesGI don't need lightweight :)05:52
Titan8990alap, thats code?05:52
usserJamesG, oh then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop should do05:52
_2rip_ yeah  that's why i mentioned it.   many people cut their teeth on rh# and now they just default to rm -f  everything05:52

RussMGuest56595, OK, I'm guessing cisco's VPN client. So, you downloaded it in a terminal, but you can't get it to install? Still have the terminal open? What kind of file is it?06:00

garbohello, i have tried to install 8.10 with 7gb for the root partition and 3 gbs for the home partition and 1 gb for the swap during half way of the installation i get  a hdd error, Is it because i need more space for the root partition?06:01
alapTitan8990, its drivrr  code for pl2303 serial cable06:01

ubottuSamba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.06:02
fiasco|homehey whats a driver I can install so my vista box can read my ext3 partition external hard drive06:02
_2garbo rootfs need only have enough room for the system and the primary packages.   thus 5g is more than enough06:03
Titan8990alap, yeah, but if you are trying to modify code and get it to work, you most likely want to be talking to other programmers06:03
garbo_2; than why do i only get that error with ubuntu? i tried 8.10 and 8.4  same thing but when i tried pclinuxos it instead fine with the same space06:03
Guest56595RussM i messaged u06:03

fiasco|homesmokinjoe: yes but samba is slower06:04
_2garbo dont know why you get a disk error.  probably the install disk and not the target.   maybe not enough ram ?     but the target spaces well exceeds the needed.06:04
bernzsmokinjoe, since you have only two options, you might as well try each in turn06:04
Guest56595SmokenJoe me2! if u find nething out u should message it to me06:04

smokinjoeI want to map a network drive on my vista laptop06:05
_2garbo i installed ubuntu 6.6 on a p1 with 128m ram and 2g hdd    so it's not the space.06:05
bernzsmokinjoe, i think you'll want to use your samba password, because i think what you're trying to do is get samba to pretend to be windows-friendly, so it needs an authorization (windows networking)... i could be wrong, but you'll never know unless you read about it at the samba homesite... :-D06:05

mib_hjbqwzcan someone open the package manager and see it they can search for something called kvm. I found it when i was on the live cd but now i installed ubuntu and cant find it so i would like someone else to try06:06
usserbadfish69, try devede06:06
ossWhat command actually opens up the Network Connections window in ubuntu?06:06
alapTitan8990, yes you are right but i am asking about error message at the time of modprobe because if there is any problem in program den it will not work but it will get installed atleast06:06
_2garbo if ubuntu ever requires 7g of rootfs just to install.  i'll stop supporting it.06:06
badfish69i fotgot all about devede06:06
badfish69thanks06:06
garbo_2: so space is not a problem than what coud it be,,,,,,, it actually installed inside windows but with live installer it did not06:06
_2garbo idk.    have you tried the "alternate install" iso ?06:07
joshjtlis VLC qt, or gtk?06:07
Titan8990alap, did you build that against your current running kernel source code?06:07
joshjtli was about to install it, and it wanted to install a bunch of qt libs... i was surprised06:07
oss<06:07
garbo_2: that's a problem i don't have any spare cds :-( i am only using the ones i got from the mail06:07
quibblermib_hjbqwz: i have kvm in synaptic06:08
usserjoshjtl, they switched from wxwidgets to qt in 0.906:08
joshjtloh lame06:08
mib_hjbqwzwhat would be causing it to nt show up on mine?06:08
bernzsmokinjoe, you mean you want a linux drive to appear on your vista machine as a drive letter?06:08
Titan8990alap, no idea on the last two errors but if I had to guess I would say that the first error was due the module not being compiled with the kernel source...06:09
Titan8990alap, other than that wild guess, I don't think I will be of much help06:09
alapTitan8990, yes its giving warning messages at registration of driver but kernel is building module without any error06:09
mib_hjbqwzand how do i check what my kernal version is06:09
Anacranomalap, Titan8990 ,  2.6.24~ looks like older kernel, what you trying to compile to?06:09
garbo_2: is installing inside windows and live installer the same things? performance wise?06:09
Titan8990Anacranom, not that old, 2.6.29-r3 is the latest stable....06:10
atom^xmib_hjbqwz, uname  -a06:10
quibblermib_hjbqwz: to check  your kernal:  uname -a06:10
redline565353i'm going to give up i think i never had any problems installing all diff versions apart from a few drivers but now cant even get up and running :(06:10
_2joshjtl the version of vlc in dapper isn't dependant on either qt or gtk06:11
Titan8990redline565353, i blame wubi06:11
garbodo you get the same performance if you install via wubi?06:11
redline565353i dont know what to do then cos my cd drive dont work and i cant boot from usb :/06:11
_2garbo no.  you will take a performance hit when you install within wubi06:11

Titan8990mib_hjbqwz, np06:14
garboAnacranom: what broke in 8.1006:15
bernzsmokinjoe, perhaps the best thing to do is read about smb.conf06:16
mib_hjbqwzcould an older kernal be causing kvm not be listed in the package manager?06:16
_2mib_hjbqwz or apt-get dist-upgrade06:16
Anacranomgarbo, lots06:16
ussermib_hjbqwz, most likely you dont have some repositories enabled, multiverse, universe?06:16
bernzsmokinjoe, or maybe read about SWAT (samba web administration tool)06:17
_2mib_hjbqwz that will update the kernel if there is a newer version in the same release06:17
redline565353would you know why my cd drive boots from my "backup xp cd" and wont read linux ones properly?06:17

redline565353they burned the same way same prog they work on this comp but only xp cd does on other06:18
_2redline565353 or the xp cd may just bounce to the hidden partition and the boot actually happen there06:18

papnahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases claims that Jaunty will have Pidgin 2.6, which is bogus (that may or may not exist by April, if nothing else). Is there someone who knows what software Jaunty will include who can correct the list in the article?06:19
Anacranomgarbo, i have 8 boxes, varying hardware, things that just worked OOTB in 8.04, dont in 8.10, granted (most) its fixed since its release, but not good from start06:19

Titan8990redline565353, it is the lts release06:20
Titan8990!lts | redline56535306:20
ubotturedline565353: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.06:20
papnaTitan8990, I am not interested in the information, I am interested in the wikipedia article being correct but without doing any real research myself.06:20
_2Anacranom 8.4 should be getting pretty stable by now too06:20
redline565353hmmmmm06:20
Titan8990papna, lol06:21
redline565353cos i've tried with my 7.04 and 7.10 and 8.10 with no joy so far06:21
Titan8990papna, i think pidgin has their own repositories06:21
Anacranomredline565353, .04 is supported longer, 9.04 will be released in a few months,06:22
papnaTitan8990, Pidgin doesn't have their own repositories in any meaningful way (they have a public Hg and releases on their website), but no matter what they're not up to 2.6 anywhere, and even if they were, Jaunty probably won't have it.06:22

redline565353the thing is i can and have installed many versions of windows legal and not but i want linux :(06:23
papnaTitan8990, The oddest thing is that the one reference was to the history of the Pidgin package. This was my third time seeing if anyone else wanted to fix it. I'll just delete that part of the article if no one wants to.06:23
Titan8990papna, so you already knew the answer?06:23
atom^x_2, you bet06:23
jeeves_Mosshas anyone ever gone through the full install of 8.1 server on a proliant 5500 and then on reboot, it says "error loading OS"06:24
papnaTitan8990, I don't know what the Pidgin version will be (just that the article is incorrect), I don't no how to read the cited source, and I don't trust any of the other information.06:24

=== jaran is now known as karbo
bernzcasdf, well, wep is long dead, and wpa is no longer considered secure, but wpa2 is the best thing available *commonly*, so it's worth trying to get it working as opposed to leaving a WAP unsecured07:11

appledozehow do i boot ubuntu from the grub4dos screen?07:12
bernzcasdf, however, if you're reasonably sure you won't suffer abuse (e.g. unplug WAN cable to WAP if applicable), then disable all security and try to get things working that way first07:12

\KiraMy server, which is run though a dynamic DNS, sometimes just sits at the command prompt, like when im trying to ssh in. It just does nothing, and eventually breaks the connection, this only happens sometimes, but Im worried about people viewing my website (once I get it online). Any idea how I could fix this?08:36
ikonia\Kira: then you should host it properly08:36

ActionParsnip2Jumpingmanjim: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded as well as check the cd was burned ok on the first boot screen10:24
broonsparrowthanks parsnip- i was reading an old guide to installing it.10:24
Jumpingmanjimi'll do that then10:25
ActionParsnip2Jumpingmanjim: you SHOULD have done it anyway10:25
shavinActionParsnip2: I could not make it work. when i give "sudo fdisk" it gives the following output http://paste.ubuntu.com/117592/10:25
ActionParsnip2Jumpingmanjim: md5 checking stuff like CD images is very important, especially with OS disks10:25

Sarge_TJHi guys! I'm lacking a good media center on ubuntu, so I'm considering installing mythbuntu side by side to my ubuntu system. Is it done only by installing the mythbuntu-desktop, and after that I'm able to choose from the login screen wether I want to boot Ubuntu or Mythbuntu?10:37
ActionParsnip2shockwave: using what app?10:37
|HSO|SadiQgeirha, I added all the character coding that appear in gedit...none can open the file10:37

chuxxsssActionParsnip2 the screen in Gnome is black I can't see anything10:39
ActionParsnip2chuxxsss: hit ctrl+alt+backspace, change session type to console and log on there10:39
shavinso i install ntfs-3g package and then run it on C drive probably?10:40
Sarge_TJWill installing the mythbuntu-desktop package enable me to choose between the basic ubuntu (gnome) desktop and the mythbuntu desktop at the login screen?10:40
ActionParsnip2chuxxsss: or reboot and hit esc to bring up grub menu and boot to recovery mode, you can select fix x from the menu that appears10:40
|HSO|SadiQgeirha, ...yes...I can read it10:40
ActionParsnip2Sarge_TJ: I believe so, it may just install the apps you dont have from the mythbuntu meta package10:40

zone000how can i install ubuntu iso from mandriva 2007 without cdrom or usb support so that it overwites the mandriva partitions?10:42
Moodzone000: mount?10:43
geirha|HSO|SadiQ: Then there's probably just a few odd characters here and there, that are not UTF-8 ... not sure on how to find and fix them though10:43
ActionParsnip2zone000: you will need to edit your mandriva boot loader (grub / lilo) to boot the iso (it can do this)10:43
zone000how?10:43
zone000i have lilo10:43
ActionParsnip2zone000: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-28948.html10:44

zone000how can i do that but inorder to wipe mandriva away and replace it with ubuntu10:44
|HSO|SadiQgeirha, it's ok...I'll keep using nano...ty anyway :)10:44
zone000i searched and i found alot of stuff but the commands don't work under mandriva like tht loop command10:44
ActionParsnip2zone000: you will need to burn the disk unless you have 2 bootable disks10:44
dundelWhere can i find the ubuntu 8.10 HAL hiccup fix???10:45
ActionParsnip2zone000: all linuxs have the loop devices10:45
ActionParsnip2zone000: its how you mount an iso10:45
zone000no i have no cd rom support10:45
shavinActionParsnip: I am a bit confused. Is there a command i can run which will scan the hard disk and fix the logfile error. or do i have to manually find out the log file and fix it? I am sorry for my naive query10:45
zone000i just have that iso10:45
ActionParsnip2zone000: do you have a 1Gb usb drive laying around10:45
zone000yes but my bios doesn't support usb booting10:46

zone000so the iso is on an ntfs10:47
ActionParsnip2shavin: what is the logfile error?10:47
zone000and want to install it in place of mandriva partions10:47
ActionParsnip2zone000: then I think you will need to put the drive in another system using an adapter to install10:48
ActionParsnip2zone000: you need a bootable partition containing the cd iso, its gonna get extremely messy10:48
wallunitHow can I encrypt multiple partitions in a way tht i don't have enter a passphrase for each of them on boot?10:48
shavinIt was coming in details when i was unsuccesfully trying to mount the volume earlier. It was related to "unclean shutdown" or similar words10:49

ActionParsnip2elimin8: ok good so far11:07
elimin8it seems to be the version that operates best with my processor, but i was wondering if theres a way to minimize whats using my ram11:07
syockitQixotic: or you can use find <path>, but it is slow11:07
elimin8so that i can use it for grapical processes and gui11:08
ActionParsnip2elimin8: run ps -ef | less11:08
elimin8i have 5.4gb swap and a usb (readyboost like)11:08
elimin8erm whats the less?11:08

elimin8is that something specific to ubuntu?11:13
ActionParsnip1elimin8: how much ram do you have?11:13
elimin82gb of physical ram11:13
elimin8no dedicated video card11:13
ikoniaalexises: you need the same ammount as your ram if you wish to use hibernation, I'd always suggest ram+a bit extra to be able to swap out your ram totally and a bufer,11:13
ActionParsnip1then 4Gb is usual, 2 x RAM11:13
ikoniaalexises: sorry not you11:13
ikoniaelimin8: that was for you11:13
ikoniaelimin8: swap space is personal preference11:13
* ActionParsnip1 thinks ubuntus "default" partitioning is obscene11:14
elimin8would lower swap space speed up the system?11:14
elimin8i have made a few tweaks like turning off system time stamps and such11:15
elimin8to help increase the speed, but honestly i dont see any11:15
elimin8i also used the "ready boost" concept of using usb for swap space and did notice a small performance difficene with grapical apps11:16
elimin8but then i was told that the hd is faster than usb11:16
elimin8so now im confused and back to square one11:16

funkyHatIf you want to restrict sftp access to a particular folder you can use 'scponly' as the shell for that account, and set that person's root as the folder you want to allow access to12:22

Thanks in advance.12:36
funkyHatmasood: if you do `ls /etc/X11` do you see anything that starts xorg.conf. ?12:36

bernzSleepingSebbe, okay, well, here's an idea i thought of in 2 seconds, so it's pretty much ummm.. german-word is "umstaendlich" -- can't think of the english, atm -- anyway: write a simple proxy that goes between your server and the next level "out" (to-Internet) -- if it loses connection, it will "notice", and then it can take some action (shell script or something) to do whatever is required to give the server a kick in the head and log the user out14:13
rakudavebrendan`: the word is "cumbersome" :)14:14
rakudavebernz, not brendan`14:15
bernzSleepingSebbe, erm, or maybe the same idea, but in reverse -- in any case14:15
bernzrakudave, ah, close, but i'm thinking more... um... "overcomplicated" (but that's not even a real word, i think)14:15
SleepingSebbebernz: sounds complicated because we are using a VPN, and we would like to implement a java VNC viewer. Is there an option to auto logout after a certain amount of time?14:15
rakudavebernz: ok, "overkill" then...14:16
francesco_ciao a tutti14:16
bernzSleepingSebbe, for that, i'd check the documentation for the VNC server you're using; it should be in there somewhere, though i don't know what it would be called (search text for 'auto', though, for sure)14:16
godownerHello all, Is there anyone that can help me with installing gdlibrary2 ? please :S14:16
bernzrakudave, yeah, well... it's hard to translate14:16
edju/etc/passwd has the shell for nobody set as /bin/sh.  Should that be /bin/false?14:17
bernzrakudave, i mean, to get the precise connotation right in English14:17

* bernz would like to stress how important it is to use standard (some would say "correct" but let's not get political) terminology when describing a problem [this is also for the log]14:25

Cheerybemuse: that's ugliest desktop I've ever seen14:26
bernzheatmzzr, well, out of sight, out of mind, right? so you should be able to edit your boot menu (read docs on your bootloader to find its location) and remove the unwanted entries, and you're done ;-) (that's the "quick and dirty" way, though... not the Right Way)14:26

Andy[1]Hey all, I'm trying Ubuntu (and Linux) for the first time, am on the live version atm as I can't seem to get dual boot working, when I try and partition it says the partition fails. Is there settings I need to change to the XP installation to allow Ubuntu to modify the existing XP partition?14:39
shally87Scunizi: motherboard driver.. there is linux driver that it supply here in the cd and i just notice it. as now i am using the compatible driver provide by the ubuntu cd14:39
shally87i might think of installing the exact driver for my lan14:40
=== Alex_chieur is now known as chieur

chaosphere_@andy[1] perhaps try to partition the disk before installing.14:40

shally87it's just that right now i got the vbox in my pc..then i can oonly use NAT but cannot host interface to give my Vbox different ip each.. so i think i want to install the lan driver14:42
bernzAndy[1], no, linux is generally sufficiently powerful to overwrite existing OS without help14:42
ScuniziAndy[1]: If you're going to dual boot. before repartitioning go to windows and run defrag from recovery or safe mode.. that means when booting push F8 to get the boot menu and choose safe mode.. the screen will look weird but then just run defrag..14:42
chaosphere_yes gparted for example14:42
chaosphere_when it's not installed, open a terminal and type 'sudo apt-get install gparted'14:43
shally87the path to my lan in cd is /media/cdrom0/LinuxDrivers/Lan/Attansic/AtL2Linux_v0.2.40.014:43

shally87so hard only know15:04
kavityshockwave: Maybe?15:04
shally87they dont want to simplified this?15:04
shockwavesudo apt-get install alsa-oss15:04
Scunizijerndoe: I'll have to try that.. right now I'm ssh'd into my server and running screen.. all cli stuff.. nice to use x once in a while15:04
jerndoescunizi: fooling around in blind, just wanted to add my torrents to another server actually15:04

shockwaveit says15:05
kavityshockwave: Simplify what?15:05
kavityErr, sorry...15:05
kreinohelp...15:05
[SkG]shally87, use cd Documents not cd /Documents15:05
kavityshally87: Simplify what?15:05
shockwaveE: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.15:05
Scunizijerndoe: it would be interesting to run screen before starting x ..15:05
shockwavehow do i fix this?15:05
kavityshockwave: Type dpkg --configure -a ...?15:05
shally87simplify like in windows.. you can cd documents and no need cd ~/documents15:05
Scunizishockwave: do what it says?15:05
shally87plus you can do ..15:05
oCean_shally87: If you like graphical file browser better... Go to Places menu > Home folder15:05
jerndoescunizi: erh.. am not with you there, screen?15:05
shally87then back to the root15:05
[SkG]shally87, use cd Documents not cd /Documents <-----------------15:05
kavityshally87: You can use cd Documents, then use cd .. to go back to the root.15:06
shally87[SkG]:  tq15:06
[SkG]if you put /Documents is not your home folder15:06
shockwavenow i have a nother problam15:06

kreinoplz help, all locked. i cant run anything.. hwo to reset what i have done... i had doing chmod 66715:06
shally87kavity:  i've been cd Documents since just now and thats why i come and ask15:06
[SkG]is / -> Documents, not /home/user/ -> Documents15:06
ct529Ace|Work: bimberi: back .... I have switch to AHCI and no problem so far .... do you have a nice benchmark to measure hard disk performances?15:06
shockwave?15:07
Scunizijerndoe: screen is magick for the terminal.. when you ssh into a box you get a terminal prompt.. what if you wanted to do several things on that machine but only had one terminal prompt.. some would create another ssh session.. but it's not needed with screen .. it can create different "windows"15:07
elimin8shockwave, try sudo dpkg --configure -a ?15:07
kavityshockwave: Put sudo infront of it.15:07
shally87i guess the case is important after all15:07
kavityBeaten.15:07
elimin8Yay :D15:07
shally87need to be so careful15:07
shockwaveok15:07

PhineI just want to shot the current desktop15:09
jerndoescunizi: thats handy, I actually needed that earlier today.... is it a command og program15:09
Phineanyway I can15:09
Scunizijerndoe: k.. I'm back.. screen lets you disconnect from a computer and reconnect later with all your stuff still running and accessable.15:09
kavityPhine: You could try finding a console screenshot program for X, and ssh and run it, but I don't think that'd work for you either.15:10
heatmzzris there a command to delete all folders in a location?15:10
Phinehmm15:10

genii-aroundkavity: What kjell just remarked. There are ppl who will just test whatever commands others write in this channel, sometimes with disastrous results15:12
Scunizijerndoe: I've just started playing with ssh & screen.. so I have irssi running on the server for irc access from any machine in the housee and mutt for imap access to my gmail account all via cli and ssh and screen15:12
kavityOne would have to be pretty stupid to run it a second after I just explianed how it deletes all the folders...15:12
kavity:\15:13
kitchequibbler: I see nothing that kavity did wrong since he said don't run that command15:13
heatmzzryeah, im wiping out 115 gb of crap lol15:13
kavityI guess some people just have to learn the hard way.15:13
kjellkavity: well, printing the logs in some ways sometimes makes the terminal to run the commands if not commented before with a #.15:13
jerndoescunizi: is screen a command or program?15:13
Scunizijerndoe: program..15:13
DIFH-ice1ootjerndoe: both :)15:13

syadowmhall119, then he try to follow the instrction15:54
genii-around1204?15:54
mhall119syadow: I think he followed them wrong, 667 gives read/write to the owner and group, but read/write/execute to everyone15:54
Scunizidee25: your system might have the 7xx intel driver instead of the 8xx driver loaded.. check System>Admin>synaptic and search for intel looking for the driver.. install the right one and uninstall the wrong one.15:55
mhall119syadow: boot into recovery mode and chmod 755 /home/$yourname15:55
Scunizidee25: after that restart and it if that was the problem then it'll be fixed.15:55
neeblyHi there!15:56
Cpudan80dee25: you can use xrandr if the resolution is not detected, by 1024x768 is so common that it should be detected no sweat15:56

mhall119dee25: if you have the right driver installed, try going through: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg16:45
ikoniadirective0: if your going to log a bug it's worth running memtest for a good few hours on your PC to get an idea of your state of hardware before logging it, as that will be a common question you'll get asked once it's logged16:46
ikoniadirective0: make sure nothing is overclocked etc etc16:46

calwigfound it17:23

mhall119calwig: for batch resize you can use phatch, or image magic's command line tools17:23
credothen $SOURCE ~/.bashrc if i remember correctly17:24
calwigmhall119: gimp-plugin-registry has a batch program17:24
mhall119oh, I didn't know that17:24
wallunitcredo: and systemwide?17:24
int256ikonia: ok17:24
credonot sure17:24
mhall119calwig: I've been using phatch recently, it's very handy17:24
mhall119integrates with Nautilus too17:24

quibblerikonia: i told int256 to use sudo apt-get install centericq17:25
spsneoi tried this one but it does not work17:25
mhall119I use it for making thumbnails of screenshots, resize, round corners, add drop shadow, save under a separate directory17:25
deusif i click on a pdf file in firefox, it asks me to save the file. is there also a way to just open the file?17:25
douglmhall119, that is the thing can - how I get them to run in the forground to view output?17:25
mhall119dougl: if you re-direct their output to a log file, you can just tail -f the log file17:26
ikoniaquibbler: well as it's not in the urrent repo's - I assume that's why he's got a deb from their site17:26
int256quibbler: but sudo apt-get install centericq is not working17:27

spsneo?17:28
Picispsneo: lsb_release -a17:28
calwigmhall119: installing....17:28
mhall119dougl: your script would just redirect output to a log file, when you want to see what it's doing, you just open a terminal and type: tail -f $logfile17:28
spsneoPici: thanks17:28
WRXusdoes anyone know if "safe graphics mode" is supposed to automatically launch the installer, or do i need to run the executables manually?17:31
WRXushaving a hell of a time getting the installer to boot on my laptop, seems to hang with the normal install mode17:31
mhall119WRXus: save graphics mode is just a fall-back setting when you have a problem with your video configuration17:31
mhall119WRXus: how much memory do you have in it?17:32
WRXuswell i'd say i have a problem, because every time i try to boot the installer, it hangs when X starts17:32
WRXus1gb17:32
mhall119hmmm, what graphics card does it have?17:32
WRXusits a HP pavillion dv5000 series17:32
WRXuswith a ATI radeon xpress 200M chipset17:32
douglmhall119, ok - that would seem to work, but what if there were 5 that I like to review as I walk by my PC (a dvb tuner app, mythbackend, mythfrontend, synergys, hellanzb, and ushare) surely there must be a way to launch all of these things in console view on my desktop (2 let's say) - lol?17:32

WRXusi'd like to use a 64 bit version as it has a turion17:33
mhall119dougl: you can get log file readers that sit on your desktop, screenlets or gdesklets or something like that17:34
dmphotographyHow come when using Synaptic Package Manager, the versions of Apache, MySQL, php5, phpMyAdmin are all older versions?17:34
mhall119WRXus: have you tried the 32bit version?17:34
Pici!latest | dmphotography17:34
ubottudmphotography: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports.17:34

leonardo_Hi, I'm with debian installed and i want to install ubuntu too. I have a separeted partition for home on debian and I would like to use this as home for ubuntu too17:35
leonardo_is it possible? and how?17:35
dmphotographyI figured it was something like that.17:35
dmphotographyBut thought I would ask.17:35
douglmhall119, cool = that is a good idea... eyecandy is nice - especially with a purpose. Thanks17:35
dmphotographySo when do they actually post new versions?17:35
mhall119leonardo_: install Ubuntu, then change fstab to mount your home partition to /home17:35
mhall119dmphotography: usually only for a release uprade17:36
WRXusi have not tried the 32 bit version, though the 64 bit install disc sees the CPU correctly in dmesg17:36
Picidmphotography: New releases of Ubuntu have new versions.  We are not a rolling release like debian is.17:36
leonardo_mhall119: any other way?17:36
mhall119WRXus: but the drivers may not be working right in 64bit17:36
leonardo_on buntu installing process17:36
mhall119leonardo_: that's probably the easiest17:36
WRXusgood point, hadn't thought of that17:36
leonardo_mhall119, thanks17:36
dmphotographyPici: Well where exactly does Synaptic get it's packages from?17:37
WRXusassuming 32 bit install does work, can i do something like a dist-upgrade to get 64 bit?17:37
mhall119leonardo_: not in Ubiquity, I don't know if the debian installer has an option for that17:37
mhall119WRXus: I don't think so17:37
Picidmphotography: The Ubuntu package repositories. http://packages.ubuntu.com is a good way to search them from outside of synaptic17:37
leonardo_back17:37
beldaanyone know where I can find the xorg.log file??17:37
dmphotographySo is Synaptic only designed for Ubuntu?17:38
leonardo_mhall119: didn't understand17:38
HuufartedQuestion:  Running Ubuntu, this morning is the first time this happened.  I start up Pidgin and when I attempt to send a message, the entire program locks.  Is there a way to determine what's causing it?  I apologize if this is offtopic, but not sure where else to look.17:38
mhall119leonardo_: the alternative CD might have more options during the install about using a separate partition for /home17:38
HuufartedDoes Ubuntu log lockups to give me a place to look?17:38
Picidmphotography: No. Synaptic is a program that looks through the APT repositories defined in /etc/apt/sources.list17:38
leonardo_mhall119: it has when installing ubuntu, i can change to /home17:38
Flannelleonardo_: You can install with a separate home partition in either(any) of the installers.17:38
mhall119dmphotography: synaptic is a front-end to APT and DPKG, any debian-based disto should have it17:38
dmphotographyGotcha.17:39

Flannelmhall119: Of course.  Ubiquity isn't a second class installer.  The only thing it can't do is LVM17:39

PiciEnissay: xwininfo *might*17:40
leonardo_Flannel: I can change this partition to home when installing ubuntu?17:40
Flannelleonardo_: Right, that's fine.  You just mark that partition to be used as home, without formatting.17:40
mhall119Flannel: oh, I hadn't seen that option before.  Not a dig on Ubiquity17:40
dmphotographyIs there a package manager that would install the latest versions of Apache, MySQL, PHP, etc?17:40
leonardo_Flannel: thanks17:40
beldahi, anyone know, where I can find the xorg. log file17:40
mhall119dmphotography: Synaptic will, if you point it to a repository that has the latest versions17:40

l337ingDisorderis there any way to put an icon on the desktop of all users without having to create individual icons? (ie, the equivalent of the 'All Users/Desktop' folder in Windows18:04
mhall119miroerr: is Mint based off Ubuntu?18:04
powerslavemhall119: yes18:04
mhall119l337ingDisorder: not easily, no18:04
miroerrmhall119: yes, it is based on Ubuntu and should be compatible18:04
rakudavepowerslave: "5" i think18:04
mhall119miroerr: then it should be possible18:04
mhall119differences in package versions might cause you issues though18:04
powerslaverakudave: yes, 5 it is, thanks you so much!18:05
Myrttimiroerr: I suggest backing up your /home18:05
Myrttimiroerr: chances are you need to do a full reinstall.18:05
l337ingDisordermhall119: know anything about the livecd? I'm trying to customize the livecd to put an icon on the desktop but the livecd doesn't have any users defined (I'm guessing it creates the 'ubuntu' user on bootup but can't find where)18:05
=== solid_li` is now known as solid_liq
miroerrmhall119: ok, thank you. just wanted to try out mint whether its working, because ubuntu wouldn't at the moment :-/ So you think I could switch back to Ubuntu without losing all my data?18:05
GridSimForNowhello, anyone familiar with openCV? i have problem to run this code in linux:   cvCreateTrackbar( "Position", "Video2",  &g_slider_position, frameCount, onTrackbarSlide); but the same code is fine in windows. the error is : OpenCV Error: One of arguments' values is out of range (Bad trackbar maximal value)18:05
GridSimForNow           in function cvCreareTrackbar, window_gtk.cpp(861)18:05
mhall119l337ingDisorder: The LiveCD creates the "ubuntu" user at runtime, it uses /etc/skel as the template for /home/ubuntu18:06
miroerrMyrtti: yes, that would be the best idea I think, thanks18:06
FlannelGridSimForNow: That's offtopic for this channel.  You may try #ubuntu-offtopic, but youll have more luck in the appropriate OpenCV channel18:06

douglJack_Sparrow, I did that command once by suggestion - nice warning :)19:55
n8tuserAster0ID -> what does that mean ?  password filler?19:55
Aster0IDsomethign that will take and fill forms online for you (login forms)19:55
Aster0IDn8tuser, instead of copy paste in fields19:55
Aster0IDfor example there is roboform on Windows19:55
AuctioneldlamaPsst19:55
ejerAster0ID: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox:Password_Manager there is one built into firefox...19:56
Aster0IDn8tuser, is keepassX the most popular password keeping tool?19:56
ejeri use keepassx19:56
Aster0IDejer, no that won't do19:56
n8tuserAster0ID -> you have to write a jsp or script for that and you almost have to learn the http protocol to grab the fields and fill it with whatever contents you wish19:56
guntbertAster0ID: you can let firefox do exactly this too19:56
ejerwhy not Aster0ID?19:56
daviddolphinWow, I _never_ knew you could ctrl click tasks in the taskbar on windows and choose to tile them. That is amazing.19:56
Aster0IDejer, because I need a local copy of my passwords, and if I clear all data in FF then it will be gone19:57
daviddolphinCan you do that on ubuntu, im not on linux right now?19:57
Aster0IDguntbert, how ?19:57
ejerAster0ID: that is up to you what you clear, look at the clear privacy settings, and you can use foxmarks to sync passwords across systems and back them up19:57
ejerdaviddolphin: compiz has stuff to do that19:57
guntbertAster0ID: ejer gave you link a few lines before me19:57
n8tuserAster0ID -> another way perhaps is to use netcat or some packet monitoring tool to grab "all" while you send the logon form to the webserver19:58
daviddolphinejer, its neat, ill have to check it out19:58
madmikeI get these errors when I plug in my external:     http://imagebin.org/38347          I can manually mount them, but there is no line for it yet in fstab, so I don't know what it's talking about19:58
Aster0IDis keepassx the most popular trusted tools?19:58
Aster0IDany others I should look at?19:59
ejerAster0ID: not sure keepassx will autofill to your liking, but it is widely used19:59
n8tuserAster0ID -> wait a sec, you said forms? or you just want a particular field (userid and password)  from a form?19:59
ejeri used to use pasword gorilla19:59
EvilrickI changed the setting in gconf editor and still no go19:59

=== OSte is now known as OSte_pala
Aster0IDn8tuser, ejer, I'll deal with forms later, for now I need to store passes19:59
ejerAster0ID: keepassx is nice, cross platofrm, and USB version available20:00
n8tuserAster0ID -> well same thing, they all are fields in a form, so you may as well get to the bottom of things, they all are just fields in a form for you to grab and fill20:00

VieQguys, what do this mean (Ubuntu Engineering Content Services.), I know it's off-topic20:21
tlchack5ah, how do i fix it? is it a faulty install disk cuz i did the diskcheck and it said the disk was fine. but when i try to run the OS from the disk it does the same thing but instead of a mouse curser it has the loading curser that freezes after a couple seconds20:21

yaluHi! good evening. I have a small problem here with an ubuntu installation. I upgraded from 2.6.24 to 2.6.27 kernel and the system does not want to boot with the .27 kernel. My root is on LVM. It says 'waiting for root file system' and keeps waiting forever. frub config is fine, but I examined the differences between the initrd files and from the .27's initrd the whole directory of kernel/drivers/ide is missing.20:31

I have checked my settings in gconf-editor and the settings in my user administration tool. Any Ideas?20:32

loafersSome of my programs such as pidgin and deluge are outdated, and I downloaded them via the Add/Remove program.  Is there a way for ubuntu to automatically detect new versions without me having to download them manually?20:51
Piciloafers: As long as you have been doing updates those are the latest versions in the repositories.20:52
guntbertSeanTater: np, btw against what project do write the bug report?20:52
lithixiumloafers, Ubuntu's update manager will automatically keep you up to date with security patches20:52
loafersPici, how do I update those repositories, because they are NOT up to date.20:52
Pici!latest | loafers20:53
ubottuloafers: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports.20:53
whutHow can I perform fsck?20:53
HuufartedMIgration question:  Looking to replace the HDD in my laptop with a larger one.  Currently dual-booting XP and Intrepid.  Is there a piece of software you guys know if that can migrate them and let me resize the partitions?  Or perhaps even shrink the NTFS and Ext3 partitions to make room for a larger 400GB partition?20:53
whutMy Ubuntu won't load and prompts me to perform a manual fsck.20:53
tilluxheya there. I've got problems enabling java 6 update 12 (don't tell me to use icedtea/openjdk [which I do like]). I used the sun .bin and extracted the files to /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_12 ... I afterwards added a .jdk1.6.0_12.jinfo file in the jvm info and corrected the pathes... when trying to invoke "sudo update-java-alternatives -s jdk1.6.0_12" it says it is unable to find the correct files (although they're there) see: http://paste2.org/p/14693220:53
ScuniziHuufarted: partimage20:53
guntbert!fsck | whut20:53
ubottuwhut: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot20:53
SeanTaterguntbert: Right now, "I don't know", because imagemagick shouldn't have any control over SIGKILL20:53

Seitook. so I found custom made linux image for eee on http://www.array.org/ubuntu but firstly I installed by default 2.6.27-7 which was then upgraded to 2.6.27-11. everything works fine for me except volume control buttons wich didn't whant to work. is it possible to setup my currient configuration without installing custom core from array.org?21:35
lithixiummartin_, hi21:35
jungarlithixium, guntbert im just asking you guys because theres a 52MB update that is taking AGES.. like 1 hour or more.... and its scaring me.... its calling linux source 2.6.27 ... did you guys get it yet??21:35
TruthTacoumm...i can check and try and boot it again... but at the screen where you choose your operating system, i try to load ubuntu (its listed etc) and it tells me the partiton doesnt exist.21:35

TruthTacoi had mint installed with seperate partitions for /home and /user21:36
jungarlithixium, and what is it supposed to do?21:36
steelcityjimi just loaded ubuntu desktop and it shows 247 updates available21:36
lithixiumjungar, It's the core of the system, it's what you boot and runs everything else21:37
steelcityjimdo i need to load these?21:37
martin_soo /var/log/auth.log ?21:37
steelcityjimnew to ubuntu21:37
nickrudsteelcityjim, fresh install? If so, you should21:37
tilluxTruthTaco: the problem is, (if you've got different linuxes installed) they / grub handle partition naming differently... depending on which hard-disk-order you used while installing grub will change the partition naming21:37
steelcityjimyes thanks21:37
doc`ok, have some usb-speakers that work perfectly if i install ubuntu, but if i unplug them and plug them back in they wont work21:37
martin_hey how is the link off pastebin21:37
martin_I poust21:37
nickrudsteelcityjim, security updates, fixes for really bad bugs, etc21:37
jungarlithixium, then why is it a PROPOSED UPDATE?  shouldnt it be with the important ones?   should  i download it or cancel???21:37
lithixiumjungar, If it's already downloading/installing, maybe just let it do its thing - proposed updates rarely break anything in my experuence21:37
TruthTacowell i formated all the partitions before i installed21:37

TruthTacopreviously i had linux mint and windows 7 dualbooting each with their own partitons and then the rest of the drive space with its own partition21:38
steelcityjimnow im looking to do a files server with some media streaming21:38
lithixiumjungar, It's proposed, which simply means, it's going through a final testing phase to eek out any last bugs before wider distribution21:38
martin_tnx nick21:38
doc`can you elaborate? tillux21:38
TruthTacoand then the mint was partitioned into 3 differnt partitions i think... one for /home /usr etc21:38
guntbertjungar: I had proposed but turned them off, they gave me troubles, but I suppose I will get the new kernel in a few days and I'm more of the patient type :)21:38
steelcityjimon a windows network21:38
steelcityjimI load samba right?21:39

doc`i have a Asus CS5111, tried finding out exactly what wireless card there is but cant find it22:17
nightrid3rdoc` whats the exact type of ralink22:17
willbergellar: No, my xorg is as The Team made it, basically empty. It stays that way even after I set up my dual screen config - I assume it's just all done by auto detection and that's why it's so sparse in there. What I'd like to do is populate it with my actual config, to override the autodection (bvecause sometimes it goes awry)22:17

willbergjohan12: I'm 90% sure that there's a way to install grub or lilo from the live CD, but I don't know off the top of my head. Google 'install Grub' or somesuch, and it should auto-detect where your installs are22:19
nightrid3rdoc` maybe check the asus or ralink site for new drivers22:19

rufneck..22:21
willbergellar: I want to populate it with my settings (i.e. fill out the Screens section, etc.) from the current working config that I'm using. So that when autodetection stops working, I have the config safe. I thought there might be a write_config_to_file I coudl use or something22:21

illumin8ardchoille, will i be missing much by going with 8.04?22:43

macd_illumin8, being a new user, I dont think either version will present or take away any challenges in learning Linux, however the LTS version are supported longer, and tend to be more stable (however not as cutting edge)22:44

EvilrickI got a problem with 8.04 HH, as of a few weeks ago my removable media stopped automounting. MMC cards USB disks and the CD rom drive. I can still mount them manually with sudo mount so its not a hardware issue. If I log into Gnome as root then the automounting works. I have checked my settings in gconf-editor and the settings in my user administration tool. Any Ideas? here are my subsystem...22:57
Evilrick...logs http://paste.ubuntu.com/117863/22:58
redvamp128baz: sometimes swap is not used depending on how much memory is installed and the type of processor- though from what I have seen mine just uses a mere 100mb when under heavy load-- like 10 tabs open in firefox-- compiz on and pidgin (933mhz PII with 256mb of memory)22:58

ardchoille!root22:59
ubottuDo not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo22:59
EvilrickMyrtti: yeah I enable administrator login and logged on as root to see if it would help, and it does22:59
savvasMyrtti: what do you need to do as root?22:59
will_savvas: Kate had a very clean and slick UI, good code highlighting and dialogs. It seems to have more of the basic features than Gedit. That said, it's been a couple of years since I used Gedit, so I might give it a spin22:59

EvilrickI got a problem with 8.04 HH, as of a few weeks ago my removable media stopped automounting. MMC cards USB disks and the CD rom drive. I can still mount them manually with sudo mount so its not a hardware issue. If I log into Gnome as root then the automounting works. I have checked my settings in gconf-editor and the settings in my user administration tool. Any Ideas? here are my subsystem...23:25

Read about the PAE (Physical Address Extension) - most people seem to think that by installing server kernel (apt-get install linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server) that the 4Gb then becomes addressable, but when I installed it and rebooted, I still at 3.2Gb?23:41

DelvienTeamColtra[TFD]: Correct, unless you are running some HEAVY applications.23:43

fwaokdaDasEi, make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.23:43
DasEigizmo_the_great: there is a solution for 32 bit too, but then have to recompile kernel, I#d suggest using 64 bit instead23:43
DelvienTeamColtra[TFD]: that mostly lies in the OS, mobos have evolved a bit23:44
ximoanyone?? could my problem be related with the fingerprint soft I use?23:44

pepperjackHuufarted: mostly just a matter of internet connection sharing and seting up a dhcpsever  the dhcpserver would only be a few changed lines in the config file and then a restart of the service and then you could use firestarter for ics its just a few mouse clicks23:50
benstedelvien yes it uses NAT23:50
