[00:00] how do i set window opacity? [00:00] HOMEMADEJAM: for example: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/x329.html #bash might have more resources [00:00] :) [00:01] kitche: so there is no tool which can grab the screen? === Habeeb is now known as H[a]beeb [00:01] and info bash is a good definitive reference if you have the info pages for bash installed [00:01] benpicco: yes there is a tool but most likely you do not need one [00:01] any info on how I can do that?

[00:02] naxa, not really.. you can use synaptic or apt-get instead of the update manager, though [00:03] naxa, well, not that i know of anyway [00:03] kitche: yes, it's still in development [00:03] rdw200169, i see... :) [00:04] rdw200169, thank you! :) [00:04] can someone tell me if is possible for me to tweak my theme not to look so big ? for example, in firefox my bookmarks bar height is maybe 20px and i like it small [00:05] hi, firefox is resolving invalid hosts to a specific server, I checked with resolv.conf and removed some lines that must be affecting it, and restarted init.d/networking, but the error is still there. Anything I can do? [00:05] rdw200169, may i ask what is your exact desktop experience configuration right now? i don't want to be rude, but I always end up with unfinished things 'couse i don't know what's next. your previous tips were great but this question is about the details altogether. but please don't answer if i am asking too much [00:05] after a recent update, I've lost audio in xine (set to use pulse) ... anyone else run into this? === _drtroll is now known as drtroll [00:05] it was working like a champ prior to update [00:05] thebloggu: if I remember correctly, FF uses the your gnome theme for the menues [00:05] 'couse i don't want to be rude it's just i don't know how to put up a good selection of stuff [00:05] mistergibson: same wtih me too, haven't gotten it fixed yet :S [00:05] Is there a timeline for the release of Jaunty?

[00:07] Don't worry everyone, I found a solution for myself [00:07] thebloggu: or the fonts tab even ;) [00:07] yo [00:08] thebloggu: well your example, firefox has its own theme. you can download different ones. and for the toolbar, rightclick->adapter->small icons [00:08] Astero1D: Quake Wars? Maybe IDSoftware has an executable for it like with Quake 4. [00:08] Look in the Ubuntu wiki. [00:08] this was self-resolved, I was using the layout with dead-keys, bugt mine does not have deadkeys [00:08] Also, you'll probably need to copy some data files from the DVD first [00:08] sammyF, oh sorry :P i mean edit the theme itself and not change themes [00:08] Can anyone here recommend a simple LAMP based CRM (like SugarCRM) for small/medium sized business? I like sugar, but it's really way over the top for what we need. Anyone have some experience here? [00:08] Is there any way to format a /dev/sdd1 drive ?

[00:09] try nexuiz [00:09] its very good in ubuntu [00:09] zsquareplusc, yes i know, i have small icons but not in the bookmarks menu, and menus are almost always gtk and not firefox theme [00:09] ammagendut, it usually means another synaptic or apt-get session or updater is running. Close them [00:09] zsquareplusc: nothing major [00:09] do you know how can i unistall windows and install ubuntu [00:09] Barbaren tigercrm [00:09] zsquareplusc, and still, i would like integration with my desktop [00:09] i am using ubuntu and windows in the same pc [00:09] sammyF, i want to edit the gtk :P [00:09] thanks nightrid3r, any other recommendations? [00:10] treme.com [00:10] E: Unable to lock the download directory and this? [00:10] Astero1D: Quake 4 does, but it's hard to get. There don't seem to be many mirrors...

[00:25] nightrid3r, yes, I have an old AudigyZS2 in the box [00:25] but the onboard doesnt work [00:25] It just says "The network connection ahs been disconncted" when I try to connect to it [00:26] Ax4 that one is recognised and will work [00:26] naxa: I think you have to use compiz to get a true transparent terminal [00:26] Mech0zdid it work before you updated? [00:26] nightrid3r, so I should switch to the old one and forget about the onboard? [00:26] zawa, that will be the case then :) thanks [00:26] Mech0z__: did it work before you updated? [00:26] How can I figure out the path to a Windows share? [00:26] mastt: also try dmesg for a more detailed system info [00:26] So... USB hard drives aren't supported for this? Anyone? [00:26] I have not have any other os installed on that pc sammyF [00:26] Hi, I've a little issue with the screen command. When I launch a screen via ssh from my gnome-terminal and when I use my mousse to scroll, it goes in the commands history (like if I utilise up arrow) instead of scrolling the stdout. [00:27] Ax4 hmmm i also so intel hda support so maybe you should check you mixer settings === _NeoBlaster is now known as neoblaster === neoblaster is now known as NeoBlaster [00:27] but I can see that the switch sees it (light in it) and I my I have a mac address so something is working [00:28] nightrid3r, i've toggled it every which way lol [00:28] i'm having some issues with installing 8.10, i think i have a bad image file. I do have a working copy of 8.04. if i install 8.04 is it able to upgrade itself to 8.10 from within ubuntu? [00:28] Dante`: yes and what's the problem exactly if you want to scroll stdout press scrolllock then [00:28] nightrid3r, but thanks for looking i appreciate it [00:28] Mech0z__: apparently there was some really smegged up things going on in one of the last updates. I reinstalled first xubuntu, then ubuntu on a netbook. Wired network worked fine, until I installed the updates. after that, it can't connect to anything anymore. only loopback works [00:28] Dante`: yes and what's the problem exactly if you want to scroll stdout press scrolllock then press the up arrow [00:28] nightrid3r, i'll stick with the older soundcard for now I guess [00:28] Ax4 yes, see if that works for you [00:28] so I need to get an older version? [00:29] rip_ sure [00:29] sammyF or? [00:29] kitche: the problem is that on 4 servers, 2 ubuntu servers, it's the only which does that. I'd like to not use the scroll lock, just cause it's faster to just scroll with the mouse instead of doing ctrl+a echap page up [00:29] Mech0z__: maybe I misunderstood. you just installed ubuntu (fresh clean install) and your adapter can't get an ip address over dhcp? [00:29] sammyF yes [00:30] rip_ but be careful.. i cant install ibex to. i tried both updating and fresh install both led to kernel panic [00:30] kitche: "the only one" I mean === axisys_away is now known as axisys [00:30] its set as "method: automatic dhcp" [00:30] what's the most lightweight gui I can install and connect to remotely? [00:30] Mech0z__: ok .. did you have any connection to the switch at any time? [00:30] Dante`: hmm I don't use a gui on servers sicne I find it to be a waste of resources really but sounds like it's a configuration issue [00:30] kitche: and I dont see what is differents on this server cause the screen configuration is the same than on another. [00:30] sammyF no [00:30] mastt: either Xubuntu-desktop (XFCE) or LXDE [00:31] kitche: I don't use a gui on my server ! [00:31] Mech0z__: hmm ..Different problem than mine then, sorry [00:31] NFischer: yea, all the files are backed up, i have a feeling this is going to be an ugly install. its on a laptop that seems to have hard drive issues (unsupported hdd controller?) doing some really bizzare things. gonna give 8.04 a shot [00:31] :( [00:31] this sucks [00:31] cant use it for anything now without lan :S [00:31] kitche: I use ssh+screen in a traditional way. [00:32] dont even have an old card [00:32] <[8sch]> hello everyone [00:32] I want to set up my fingerprint scanner on a system 76 laptop. Can Someone help? [00:32] kitche: it's just that on this server, which I didn't install myself cause I bought it (OVH), the screen does this weird behaviour [00:32] Dante`: well then you need to figure out the issue like I said I don't use a gui on my server(my definition is different then what you think I m saying) [00:33] hi, I was writing in the file ibov.C and in other terminal I did ~$ > ibov.C After that I run the command in vim: :vs ibov.C and both windows where empty. Is there anyway to recover the file? [00:33] Dante`: as in I don't use a gui at all on my client to my server [00:33] <[8sch]> maybe someone can help me: i have a problem with my bcm4306 wifi chip. [00:33] OriWB sudo apt-get install thinkfinger-tools [00:33] kitche: you mean that you don't use X and a mouse on your client ? [00:34] <[8sch]> my system is finding the card, but don#t can connect to wlan [00:34] kitche: you connect your server directly from a tty ? [00:34] weird... [00:34] [8sch]: I'm trying it now. thanx a lot [00:34] I just installed Ubuntu through wubi, and when I boot it up, it ends up going into a BusyBox shell... [00:34] Dante`: not weird since using a gui for me is a waste of resources when I m just sshing [00:35] [8sch]: it finished i think... but nothing happenned [00:35] Dante`: why waste resources when you'll just be in a ssh session on a remote machine doing all the work [00:35] kitche: ok ok, so anyway you cant help me if you dont use a mousse [00:35] Dante`: I use a mouse [00:36] i have to internet connections one wireless, and one ethernet, to differnet isp:s can i somehow use both at the same time? === ianto is now known as failianto [00:36] !paste [00:36] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[00:37] iso [00:37] bmwM5 there is a 64 bit iso [00:37] redvamp128: Inside the BusyBox shell? [00:37] bmwM5: you can use either the i386 version or the amd64 version [00:37] but that one will work too [00:37] Dante`: also just so you know you onyl scroll gnome-terminal you don't scroll the remote output === XxDpakxX is now known as XxSwitchBladexX [00:38] will i386 on core 2 quad [00:38] be less optimal ? [00:38] kitche: yes, sorry, I mean I want to scrool in the gnome-terminal history and do not send "^[[A" through the ssh tunnel to the screen [00:39] what is direct link to 64bit ubuntu for core 2quad(64bit) system [00:39] bmwM5 for a desktop it will be beter cos off media support [00:39] redvamp128: Er, what do you mean?

[00:44] ok, I've tried supergrub but, it said that it couldn't fix the boot loader... so, anything else I can try? [00:44] anyone using thunar ?

[00:46] Thunderdome: you ended up in a busybox shell when booting? that means the it can not find the root filesystem. that's a kernel parameter, passed on at boot time. but i don't now what it has to be for a wubi install [00:46] is there ubuntu for sparc64?

[01:17] int256: well if you can't visit the site then how do you expect to get the file? [01:17] enoksrd -> try sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart or hald restart on same dir [01:18] Mal3ko: if your goal is to enable access to the range of ports from 4500 to 4600, then yes, wrong. :) [01:18] http://www.flock.com/download/?platform=linux [01:18] how do I move all of everything from /1/2/ to /1/ ?

[01:21] sirhc_ Belgium [01:21] Mal3ko: use 'delete'. as i suggested, "man ufw". it's all there. :) [01:21] Mal3ko: so, you'd go for something like "ufw delete allow proto tcp from any port 4500 to any port 4600" [01:21] I found a deb of flock which is built for Hardy and Intrepid here Application Information - Flock that is getdeb.

[01:42] sileni, Im to tired for this lol [01:42] YlandeFaran: np have fun :) [01:42] lol i think if u are on a linux channel or pretty much in the "know" but sometimes not so much [01:42] sileni: but it's /fun/ :) [01:42] So. Anyone have knowledge of GRUB? [01:42] ZiRiS, #grub [01:42] ziris: yes [01:42] what about grub? [01:42] lol i hate lilo [01:42] i ran the Ubuntu Live CD on this Pentium 4 multiple times and it runs slower than Vista on a P2... no big deal... i know how fast Ubuntu runs when it's off the hard disk... i had to test how well these drivers work using ndiswrapper and when i tested them.... i couldnt get them to work.... and when i kept trying... ubuntu locked up... here is my script i used to install http://rafb.net/p/bJAxIe21.html what is wrong with i [01:42] I'm having this issue..... I can't seem to get grub installed, even with super grub disk. [01:43] * Ishmael high fives ashlessburn [01:43] where are settings set by synclient/gsynaptics stored? [01:43] sileni: just joshing you around. don't worry, i know it was offtopic and all. :) [01:43] Well, sorta. It's installed into the partition, but on the mbr [01:43] lol thank you ishmeal [01:43] anyone know a vnc server that dont require port forwarding from the router? [01:43] mbr can be tricky are u dual booting? [01:43] HLM11: you should install mysql then. "sudo apt-get install mysql-admin mysql-common mysql-client mysql-server" in the command line will install what you need [01:43] Mech0zServer: That is not how vnc works [01:43] yes, with Vista [01:44] ahh i see did u set the part in vista? [01:44] meoblast: run those commands step by step and tell us what error pops up ? [01:44] is there a default VNC server for ubuntu? [01:44] !o4o [01:44] Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu. Controversial topics, which often turn into flame wars: war, race, religion, politics, gender, sexuality, drugs, questionably legal activities, suicide are not for here. Microsoft software in ##windows (Please note Freenode Policy) [01:44] WebcamWonder, what do you mean? [01:44] Mech0zServer: thing is, if you have NAT, any vnc server will require port forwarding. otherwise, there's no way for packets to get inside the nat. [01:44] nanotube: i understand, i was bored also [01:44] ashlessburn, whax used lilo if i remember right, when i first booted up i was all "What the *beep* is this shit?" [01:44] sileni: lol yeah right... and wait the 10 minutes to start Ubuntu again? [01:44] * ZiRiS looks at ashlessburn funny. [01:44] sileni: sorry.. i got very frustrated [01:44] nanotube, well if I use logmein.com I dont have to forward ports for that to work [01:44] meoblast: make a small partition then install ubuntu and try [01:44] sileni: i'm looking for a non-touching ubuntu method [01:44] even though I am behind a router [01:44] where are settings set by synclient/gsynaptics stored? [01:44] ashlessburn: I have ubuntu installed on a separate hard drive [01:44] lol ziris are u setting through gparted or the vistata part [01:44] Mech0zServer: If you need to access the VNC server from outside the internal network, you NEED to forward the ports. That is the logic of entire vnc. And this is offtopic for this channel [01:44] I am having trouble in xubuntu [01:44] ahh ok not same hdd [01:45] sileni: ugh....... does it require a restart after installing the drivers? [01:45] sileni: i remember doing that on my sisters system [01:45] disregard that typed min ago and got busy accidently hit enter [01:45] Mech0zServer: actually, there is a method, i can't remember the name of it, but there are several options where you can set up a proxy server, and have the client connect to that, that way it opens the port because its an outgoing connection rather than incoming. then you connect tot he proxy as well [01:45] Mech0zServer: i don't know what logmein.com is... but i suspect that what happens is that the remote machine connects to logmein, and your server also connects to logmein, and voila. so there are no /incoming/ connections to the server. [01:45] sileni: i would rather not make a small partition.. prepare it.. .delete windows... repartition... too much room for error [01:45] nanotube: That is exactly how it works [01:45] HLM11: then once you have those things installed, setting up a new database is pretty easy. All you have to do is "sudo mysqladmin create databasename" [01:45] would there be something similar I could run on ubuntu then? [01:45] ishmeal:i use lilo for backtrack if it wasnt for that i would have never used it [01:45] meoblast: do you have the broadcom .inf file already? [01:46] my ipod was working fine this morning. now i can't get it to mount. ive tried everything i can think of to get it to mount again. please help. can anybody tell me what this means and how to fix it? here is the pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/118226/ [01:46] sileni: yes and the sys file [01:46] Mech0zServer: Logmein has a linux addon for firefox, IIRC [01:46] ashlessburn: I have been changing first boot drive from linux drive (ide) to vista drive (eSATA) when I want to go back and forth. GRUB has never been on the vista drive. [01:46] WebcamWonder: cool. nice to know that my knowledge of networks is still current. :) [01:46] sileni: it claims it is installed and detected but it no networks appear in the network applet [01:46] meoblast: what happend when you ran that script? [01:46] when you did ifconfig did you see wlan0? [01:46] sileni: read the post right above what you said and thats what happened :P [01:46] Mech0zServer: well, if you want to roll your own 'logmein'-style thing, you'd still need a /server/ that sits outside your nat, and hosts that. [01:46] well doign that u are asking for trouble try reading up on the grub part, u can actually boot vista and ubunut off grub [01:47] sileni: :( do i have to start ubuntu again and do that? [01:47] neeto: I tried EXACTLY what you said and the 2nd command didnt work "sudo mysqladmin create databasename" [01:47] ncfi1013_: Could you pastebin, sudo fdisk -l, that pastebin is kinda confusing [01:48] i don't even think lilo recognized my windows partition i had installed, unless that's whax's problem for not adding it into lilo, but even after i manually went through and put it in, i remember it was still shitty [01:48] ashlessburn: I also booted to the Kubuntu live cd, and ran the grub utility from there. It returned some sort of exit error 1, there must have been an error. and won't load GRUB to the mbr. === ___mikem is now known as __mikem [01:48] i didnt think anyone really used LILO anymore [01:48] i hope not [01:48] ishmeal: unfort u are correct u have to open the lilo.conf fill to run other part in the same aspect or it will error out [01:48] not using it now, i just really hate it [01:48] hmm seems u might want to look into rebuilding ur grub platform [01:49] why would you use it instead of GRUB ? [01:49] HLM11: it might my mysql-admin create databasename [01:49] WebcamWonder: so, from your username, am i correct in guessing that you know something about webcams and v4l and all that good stuff? :) === _drtro758 is now known as _drtroll [01:49] ashlessburn: I also booted to the ubuntu live cd and tried to reinstall grub from the apt utility. [01:49] ZiRiS: If that didn't work then you could try wingrub -- which uses the mbr to point to a grub loader to then load your os. WinGrub and Ubuntu [01:49] HLM11: depending on the version of mysql, they like to change the syntax for no reason :/ [01:49] i run backtrack 3 ubuntu and debian 4.0 off grub tried lilo and was unsucceful on my 64bit but on 32bit i had no issues [01:49] nanotube: I am a hypocrite, I don't even own a webcam :P [01:49] and? [01:49] ok WebcamWonder here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/118227/ [01:50] WebcamWonder: haha i see. too bad. :) === jgoguen is now known as jgoguen|away [01:50] i find that platforms are a real issue with grub and lilo [01:50] WebcamWonder: (too bad because i have a webcam problem, that is. :) ) [01:50] ncfi1013_: Is it a 40 gig iPod? [01:50] nanotube: Did you check the regular factoid for Webcams? [01:50] using seprate bt parts [01:50] no a 4 gig ipod [01:50] sileni: i'm very confused on whether to waste another 10 minutes starting ubuntu or what [01:50] I'm having a bit of a problem on my box running ubuntu-server, its acting as a router/firewall running shorewall and it seems to die after a random amount of time. Looking at the logs though it seems like it might not be locking up, just the nics might be dying, unfortunately the logs don't really provide much information; I need a way to get much more informative logging or maybe someone has had this problem before? === TeamColtra[AWAY] is now known as TeamColtra[TFD] === TeamColtra[TFD] is now known as TeamColtra[AWAY] [01:51] meoblast: do you have ethernet connection? [01:51] hmpf [01:51] cpk1: Perhaps a dmesg would help you diagnose? [01:51] WebcamWonder it is a 4 gig ipod [01:51] WebcamWonder: hm, wel li didn't check the ubotu factoid... but i did do a fair bit of googling. well, let's see... [01:51] !webcam [01:51] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [01:51] ncfi1013_: Oops, sorry. My math was off, yeah 4 gig [01:52] ncfi1013_: When you do a, mount, do you see the partition mounted? [01:52] ashlessburn: I can try lilo from the supergrubdisk, see what happens. [01:52] ZiRiS, when you switch first drive to boot are you able to get into ubuntu [01:52] ahh unless directly familar with lilo i do not suggest that [01:53] bloodrock: no, it goes straight to vista. [01:53] sileni: no === jgoguen|away is now known as jgoguen [01:53] where do I go for mysql help? [01:53] hi i need some help, i try to install a tv card and finally i disable the sound but i don't know how i did that... [01:53] lilo is not a easy br it is a vary complicted issue once learned it is fine but it is a process [01:53] ZiRiS, even when you switch it to the linux drive? [01:53] i just read "Configure ndiswrapper for use with the Network Admin settings - this adds an Alias to associate wlan0 to ndiswrapper in modprobe.d * sudo ndiswrapper -m" [01:53] sileni: would that help? [01:53] bloodrock: no, now it does nothing, absolutely nothing. [01:54] meoblast, well without having acess to what your computer really doing i don't know how we could fix this problem. Since its taking you 10 minutes to boot it up. I would suggest holding off on this [01:54] WebcamWonder, thats what I am saying; logs dont have much information at all. the only thing that helped me a little was /var/log/messages told me about an unused module that was causing an error, still had the problem after unloading it though, looknig at messages it looks like the computer is still running even after I cant ping it anymore [01:54] meoblast: well if you had ethernet you could just boot up ubuntu and talk to us through that [01:54] sileni: i'll toy around in it one more time i guess :/ [01:54] do anyknow how to fix lid button on nc6320? my laptop's lid button won't work until i suspend or powersaving timer turn off the screen once..... [01:54] meoblast: good luck [01:54] sileni: thanx for the help though..... bye [01:54] meoblast: make sure ifconfig has wlan0 [01:54] ZiRiS, did you install grub to the mbr or the linux partion [01:55] cpk1: And you don't have physical access to the PC I am assuming to, do a ifdown and ifup just to check. That could be a little tricky [01:55] bloodrock: GRUB is missing from the MBR, and nothing I've done seems to get it in there. S.G.D. won't even put it in. [01:55] can anyone tell me how to run a file that is in my downlaod folder [01:55] iwconfig sileni [01:55] kqemu or virtualbox? [01:55] its a tar.qz file [01:55] WebcamWonder it mounts in the new device notifier but not in amarok. more specifically amarok tells me that no mounted ipod was found. ive tried remounting it and remounting it and removing the old device and adding in a new device in amarok/settings/devices but nothing is working. [01:55] hi i need some help, trying to install an tv card i disble the sound and now i don't know how to enable [01:55] ashlessburn: ah yes [01:55] lol i forget too sometimes [01:55] bloodrock: Yes. Both. But S.G.D. won't put it back in. [01:55] steelcityjim: you have to first unpack it [01:56] so, my webcam (sony eyetoy) works with cheese just fine, but not with ekiga. see this for details: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6723444 any suggestions? [01:56] ncfi1013_: But it is technically mounting it right? So if you goto /media//, you can see all the contents? [01:56] nanotube: how can you handle the though of your computer looking at you the whole time you are on there!!! [01:56] hi i need some help, trying to install an tv card i disble the sound and now i don't know how to enable [01:56] ZiRiS: Try Wingrub WinGrub and Ubuntu That way you keep your MBR intact and you can then point it to your ubuntu. [01:57] bloodrock: S.G.D. took it out of the mbr - my mistake - trying to remove it from extra eSATA drive that is only there for storage. (Linux and S.G.D. both see all my drives as SCSI for some reason.) [01:57] WebcamWonder, I have physical access, but getting a monitor hooked up is a little bit of a pain =\ [01:57] sileni: haha well, it's only fair - i am looking at it, so it's common courtesy to provide the comp with means to reciprocate :) [01:57] redvamp128: Wilco. [01:57] nanotube: heh [01:57] how does one mount a filesystem on another ubuntu computer in your network? [01:57] cpk1: Ahh. That could be tricky. Unfor. I have no expertise to share with you. You look like you know more than me in this kinda matter :) [01:57] hey [01:58] can anyone help me install a downloaded file on my desktop? [01:58] on ubuntu how do I install a font pack so webpages are normal again [01:58] hey steelcityjim lol [01:58] ZiRiS: basiaclly what happens is one line added to boot.ini loads the wingrub which then points to the actual grub or linux distro and from there enjoy... and is easily removed-- remove one line from boot.ini and delete 2 files. [01:58] yea long time no talk [01:58] steelcityjim: first unpack it using gunzip and tar -xf file [01:59] redvamp128: sweet! thx. I will def. try that! reading documentation now. [01:59] hi i need some help, trying to install an tv card i disble the sound and now i don't know how to enable [01:59] is gunzip in my applicatons? [01:59] ZiRiS: and big wow-- leaves MBR intact [01:59] steelcityjim: or click on it to start the gui thing. [01:59] anyone know about the font thing [01:59] i have extracted the files [01:59] I see 36 files [01:59] WebcamWonder type /media/DALE'S IPOD/ in terminal? apologies for the caps, that is the name of my ipod. [02:00] ncfi1013_: Browse to /media/Dale's Ipod/ [02:00] booooooring ;/ [02:00] steelcityjim: now find the executable one. It's prolly the name of the application [02:01] is it an exe extenson? [02:01] steelcityjim: or install [02:01] what is the linux exectuable ext [02:01] there is no ext [02:01] steelcityjim: what are you trying to run - what program/app? [02:01] ok did that and i can see all the contents [02:02] for example cat is just cat, not something like cat.com or cat.exe [02:02] WebcamWonder i did that and i can see all the contents [02:02] im trying to load no-ip.com software for ssh [02:02] i double clicked on the debian.sh file and it brought up gedit [02:02] steelcityjim, ok, do you know how to get it thru the repos? [02:02] ncfi1013_: That means that the problem lies with amarok. Not with the mounting. Amarok is not able to detect the iPod [02:02] no [02:03] WebcamWonder if it being mounted everywhere else why is amarok not detecting it? [02:03] steelcityjim: what distro are U using? [02:03] ncfi1013_: Possibly a bug with amarok [02:03] ubuntu 8.1 [02:03] 0 [02:04] WebcamWonder i mean it was working just this morning. how do i figure out what bug it is? [02:04] is there an app that would amplify sound more than it's maximum volume? i want something like vlc's volume that goes more than 100% [02:04] I have plugged a pci wireless card into a new Ubuntu pc and the NetworkManager task is constantly eating 30% of the cpu. After a while the pc locks up. What can I do about NetworkManager? [02:05] steelcityjim: ok go to a commandline and type: sudo apt-get update [02:06] ok [02:06] then what? [02:06] steelcityjim: is this a proprietary program or part of the linux community? [02:06] what is the name of the process in ubuntu that does dns lookups? [02:07] bloodrock: I have this problem with wingrub: Is designed for WinXP. Will not function with Vista - No Boot.ini to edit. [02:07] is it possible to install window xp on KVM that runs on a server without X? [02:08] I can't disable the wireless network for some reason. There is a tick box for this but it never unticks. Neither does the wired network. [02:08] im guessing proprietary [02:08] I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 32bit [02:08] but don't know for sure [02:08] steelcityjim: if it's proprietary and you really want to, you have to find the executable, make it executable by you and then run it. I can tell you how if you want. [02:08] endeavormac, try the dig command [02:09] well, i'm trying to tunnel those dns requests out, but i can't find them [02:09] like, i don't know where they are originating [02:09] would it be in the binaries? === FlareFlare is now known as Flare183 [02:10] steelcityjim: if it's in the repos you can find out by typing apt-cache search no-ip. [02:10] Hello, I need help with the appearance settings, when I go to them I get this message: "Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'. [02:10] Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take effect. This could indicate a problem with Bonobo, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings manager." [02:10] why doesn't ubuntu allow me to run several instances of the package manager? [02:11] Ivanlul: you're using gnome? [02:11] yeah [02:11] jam3s2001: it's limitation on the package manager itself - you could screw the system up [02:11] I want to download DOSbox, What download should I choose? rpm, binary (x86)? [02:11] jam3s2001: because they could try to modify the dpkg db simultaneously? [02:11] Droopsta915, from the repos [02:11] Ivanlul: run gnome-settings-daemon in a terminal and see what happens [02:11] ok i did that and a couple things came up [02:11] * jam3s2001 is a gentoo user... does not understand [02:12] how can I format a usb from command line to FAT32 [02:12] Nice didn't know Linux had it in the repos! Thank you [02:12] Droopsta915, sudo apt-get install dosbox [02:12] what do I type, gnome-settings-daemon? [02:12] Droopsta915, linux doesn't, but ubuntu does ;) [02:12] steelcityjim: what programs came up? [02:12] jam3s2001: -- even windows does not allow it--- what if 2 files are trying to be written to at the same time- would that not cause an issue. [02:12] two one for dynamic dns server [02:12] jam3s2001: it's a debian package management thing - it has a single database that it writes to - it's not downloading and compiling source code randomly all over the place - it takes the process and locks it in place, thus keeping the system sane [02:12] one for client === doc` is now known as doc`` [02:13] Gnea, thanks, I understand now. [02:13] jam3s2001: cheers :) [02:13] steelcityjim: what is the name of the client one? [02:13] inadyn [02:13] I typed gnome-settings-daemon into the terminal, and nothing happened [02:13] hi i need some help, trying to install an tv card i disble the sound and now i don't know how to enable [02:14] Ivanlul: did you get a prompt after that or is it still running in the foreground? [02:14] does anybody else have any suggestions to help me get amarok to detect my ipod? [02:14] I didn't get anything [02:14] ncfi1013_: what gen ipod? [02:15] Ivanlul: just a completely blank line? [02:15] need help formatting usb from command line [02:15] yeah [02:15] steelcityjim, check out this link: http://ubuntulinuxhowto.blogspot.com/2006/06/dynamic-dns-no-ip.html [02:15] IndyGunFreak 3rd gen 4 gb video [02:15] I pasted it it then I just get my name again [02:16] like the user@computer ect [02:16] steelcityjim: if you have a router, you may be able to configure it to handle dynamic dns for you [02:16] I find that more convienient than having an app run on a computer to do it [02:17] Ivanlul: that's a prompt, which means it's exiting immediately [02:17] hi [02:17] ncfi1013_: i think thats the prob [02:17] ah alright [02:17] What can I do then? [02:18] Ivanlul: if you run 'killall gnome-settings-daemon', does everything turn ugly? [02:18] is there a special way to type out ftp usernames in linux? i've set up an ftp server with proftpd but it saus login incorrect [02:18] where are in the filesystem mysql stored in ubuntu? [02:18] where are in the filesystem mysql stored in ubuntu? is that /usr/share/mysql ? [02:18] nop, looks the same [02:18] it always looked kind of like windows 98 [02:18] IndyGunFreak it worked this morning with this type ipod [02:19] or in /usr/share/mysql/sql-bench/ ? [02:19] Can I play nintendo roms on the dosbox? [02:19] ncfi1013_: it worked this morning? [02:19] Ivanlul: it's windows 9x gray? [02:19] yeah it's gray [02:19] yes IndyGunFreak [02:19] hm [02:20] Droopsta915, no, zsnes or others will do [02:20] oops [02:20] because i want to chmod to add a user but i don't know where the tables of mysql are saved in ubuntu === josspyker is now known as jos-away [02:21] AETE_KRAOUD: what exactly do you mean with add a user and mysql? [02:21] oh yeah, i forgot [02:21] AETE_KRAOUD: you want him to be able to access mysql?

Are there any really good util for linux which can check drives top to bottom.. maybe a spinrite of some sort for linux?

[02:26] Hello, I was recently entrusted with the task of remotely upgrading a machine running 7.04 Feisty and am running into problems using the update-manager: I've commented out all the nonexistent repositories and added the old-releases ones, but I can't seem to disable feisty-backports. Is there a configuration file I'm missing? [02:26] hi [02:26] AETE_KRAOUD: I think you are the one that asked this in the past about remoting from you work-- forgot to mention that you should check with your IT department if they even allow it-- and what they use for ports. [02:26] scizzo-, : i feel confused because i don't want to chmod +R in all the files but only in those neccesery [02:26] do u need to be a exspert to run scripts? [02:26] AETE_KRAOUD: the reason to why they say /bla/bla is because the path is different on different systems [02:26] crdlb: know anything I can do? [02:26] hmmm is anyone here who was here last time i was explaining this issue im having? i don't feel like re explaining :P [02:27] AETE_KRAOUD: a huge difference between Unix and Linux environments [02:27] redvamp128, : no sorry [02:27] Ivanlul: bus error makes it sound like dbus isn't running [02:27] meoblast: that's not going to help ;) [02:27] Ivanlul: what version of ubuntu are you using? [02:27] 8.10 [02:27] scizzo-, : but in ubuntu there is a default directory e? [02:27] sammyF: i was going to wait a second, and if no one responded, reexplain :P [02:28] anybody succeeded in compiling madwifi for 2.6.27-7 ? [02:28] yes [02:28] meoblast: good tactic ;) [02:28] sammyf [02:28] scizzo-, : i installed mysql from the repositories and it is empty it contains only the example databases [02:28] any idea how my up arrow got remapped to print screen in ubuntu? [02:28] Anyone can help me? I messed up ALSA in my dad's notebook trying to install an hda-intel modem. [02:28] I did a clean install about 2 hours ago [02:28] AETE_KRAOUD: the path you are probably looking for here is /usr/share/mysql/ [02:28] ashlessburn: hmm ... did you do anything special except installing build-essential? [02:29] doh! [02:29] What is the procedure when a dist-upgrade is interrupted because a remote ssh connection drops - no way to know where it got to [02:29] fuuu any on help in - es fuuu [02:29] scizzo-, : i suspected that path too [02:29] AETE_KRAOUD: however why someone would put that on a normal user level is beyond me [02:29] pls join ubuntu-es [02:29] flaviopontes: try using the ndisgtk wrapper and if u are having issues see if it is a vista only driver and look for the modded .ink file [02:29] not really sammf [02:30] IntuitiveNipple: btw. in case you remember me : the network not working is a new feature they introduced in the -11 kernel. returning to -7 helped [02:30] scizzo-, : i just want to follow the mysql manual word by word [02:30] i ran this script http://rafb.net/p/bJAxIe21.html and realized it hung at "sudo depmod -a" so i skipped that and continued manually entering the rest of the script and also ran "sudo ndiswrapper -n" and instead of adding wlan0 it removed eth0 leaving me with only lo..... what does that mean? [02:30] i'm getting really sick of booting this live CD [02:30] crdlb: should I reinstall dbus? [02:30] it's SLOW [02:30] ashlessburn: I'll try it as soon as I can, but what I need now is to get sound working again [02:30] scizzo-, : anyway thanks [02:30] AETE_KRAOUD: why? [02:30] how to install compiz settings manager [02:30] AETE_KRAOUD: why follow it word by word? [02:30] scizzo-, :for your time :-) [02:30] ashlessburn: sigh. thanks. running into a compiling error [02:30] pls tell the command [02:30] sammyF: Hmm, I was dealing with a similar issue the other day... Is your network interface an atheros by any chance? [02:30] scizzo-, : to get used to secured mysql :-) [02:30] flaviocpontes: try uninstall reinstall alsa-base?

[02:31] AETE_KRAOUD: just set a root password for it and then work with the security..... [02:31] Ivanlul: no [02:31] scizzo-, : it is most important than the delete insert * etc :-) [02:31] hda-intel on an inspiron 1525 [02:31] sammyF: aha! Yes, we're working on that. It's caused by the madwifi driver jumping in and partially taking over the device but then ath5k wants to grab it too [02:31] ashlessburn: hda-intel on an inspiron 1525 [02:31] hmm what chipset is that [02:31] scizzo-, : of cource i did already that :-) [02:31] sammyF: Let me find the bug report for you [02:32] Ivanlul: there should be a dbus-daemon with --session in its argument list, do you see it? [02:32] ashlessburn: yeah .. cleaned the make dirs, tried telling make the plattform to build for .. no chance [02:32] yeah [02:32] AETE_KRAOUD: right....good luck then [02:32] sammyF: See https://launchpad.net/bugs/327237 [02:32] on --fork --print-pid 6 --print-address 9 --session [02:32] scizzo-, : but i am confused what files to chmod to make mysql run by a user not root [02:32] :( [02:32] ahh i see try reading the forums. that seems not to common issue i wih i new the chipset fo rit is it on board or card [02:33] scizzo-, : in the mysql site the claim that is safer to run mysql as a user in your system with tha mysql safe & command [02:33] has anyone had problems with gnome-power-manager freezing up every so often on your laptop? [02:33] scizzo-, : but i have also make the right permissions :( [02:33] and the display dimming every couple of minutes?

[02:35] jbgordon: yes its a bug there is a fix for it please visit the forums for the exact script [02:35] sammyF: We were discussing it in #ubuntu-kernel on Friday, smb_tp (Stefan Bader) is looking into it [02:35] scizzo-, : not not not False-- > programmers joke :-) [02:36] scizzo-, : going to goooogle it :-) [02:36] scizzo-, : bye [02:36] ashlessburn: is it fixed in jaunty? [02:36] bye all [02:36] i guess this computer is not ubuntu compatible [02:36] :( [02:37] I have installed sun-java6-jdk (and all dependencies and so on) but running "java -version" still results in the output 'java version "1.5.0"'. what have i done wrong? [02:37] jdgordon: most likley have played with it yet [02:37] u running amd 64bit? [02:37] eclipse is similarly having problems that confirm that it cannot find a java 6 jdk even though it is installed [02:37] no [02:37] intel 32 bit? [02:37] yeah [02:37] ahh ok [02:37] IntuitiveNipple: nice :) reminds me why I've been using ubuntu for the last 2 years or so :D [02:37] hmm try the forums [02:38] there is a fix for intel 32 bit not for the amd i bleieve [02:38] honestly talk to the admins on here they woudl know more [02:38] Ivanlul: ok, let's test your dbus session bus; install d-feet and run it [02:38] brb [02:38] ok [02:38] but i beleive what i am saying is correct [02:39] brb getting milk [02:39] nevermind, found update-alternatives to make java6 my default :-D [02:39] Hi trying to get Xinerama to work on Hardy [02:40] ok ummm [02:40] How can i find the ports ID on my agp dual port video card? [02:40] crdlb: so you want me to type install d-feet or what? I did that and I got this: install: missing destination file operand after `d-feet' [02:40] now i see why the world doesnt use Ubuntu.... it doesnt run on 66% of computers [02:40] meoblast: thats not true [02:40] Ivanlul: sudo apt-get install d-feet [02:41] just take time [02:41] I have had great luck with Ubuntu [02:41] the world doesn't use it because most computers come with windows [02:41] or you could use a graphical package manager [02:41] meoblast: Well, neither does Vista, I'm sure. [02:41] meoblast it doesn't? [02:41] U mean winblows? [02:41] top 66% or bottom 66% ? [02:41] i have only converted 1 person because i cant get it to work on anyone elses [02:41] lol debian or backtrack doesnt work with most compaw but yet i have both installed [02:41] meoblast, 'sudo ifconfig eth0 up' didnt bring eth0 back? [02:41] meoblast: I still need to find a computer on which I wasn't able to install at least a barebone ubuntu or puppy install [02:42] Is there a better forum to ask about Xinerama on? [02:42] I've had issues installing Ubuntu on many of my older PCs and laptops, but given the right hardware it works out of the box (Or, out of the CD...since it doesn't come in a box). [02:42] What is the procedure when a dist-upgrade is interrupted because a remote ssh connection drops - no way to know where it got to [02:42] does anyone know how cpu scaling works with single core hyperthreaded cpu's? the gnome app shows that both "cpu's" can be at different speeds, butt hats doesnt make sense? [02:42] crdlb: Okay I opened the debugger [02:42] half my pc's cant run windows XP any more.. due to lack of drivers. :) [02:42] jdgordon:u can adjust that [02:42] Ivanlul: file -> connect to session bus [02:43] hello room [02:43] crdlb: alright, what now? [02:43] can some one point me in the right dirction in sratrting the ssh server on ubuntu [02:43] why do companies not make linux drivers for wireless cards? [02:43] Dr_willis: You'd love what I saw on the linux-kernel mailing list earlier... the kernel seeing a years-old 240MB drive as 1.2 TB ! [02:43] broadcom can go die [02:43] Ivanlul: did that put a whole bunch of 'org.something' entries in the left column? [02:43] ashlessburn: no, I mean, in my understanign of HT both threads should be at the same speed no? so what speed is the cpu actually at.. which cpu needs to be at powersave to force the speed [02:43] Dr_willis: I did a clean install of windows like half a week ago [02:43] and so can belkin [02:43] crdlb: yes [02:43] it varies in window its more of a coop but in linux it is a as needed [02:44] Ivanlul: ok, dbus is working fine, so the problem is somewhere else :/ [02:44] meoblast: I'm running EEEBuntu (On an HP Mini) with Broadcom drivers. [02:44] and meoblast bc windows own everything...good luck finding windows xp drivers anymore [02:44] IntuitiveNipple, now thats the new 'disk-compression' feature! :) [02:44] crdlb: where else do you wanna look [02:44] i had to manually mod my inf file in vista to put xp on my comp [02:44] how do I turn on ssh access to a ubuntu install [02:45] do anyknow how to fix lid button on nc6320? my laptop's lid button won't work until i suspend or powersaving timer turn off the screen once..... [02:45] in fedora it is service sshd start [02:45] how I do in ubuntu [02:45] jdgordon: u are fine. u will only see it when u need it [02:45] !ssh | cyberfab007 [02:45] cyberfab007: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [02:45] meoblast, ive noticed that windows 7 no longer has drivers for a large % of my hardware also. So to each their own. :( [02:45] amen dr [02:45] lol [02:45] Dr_willis: lol yeah... shame it was only a mirage... the problem turned out to be, that libata uses the drive's ATA ID block, words 57-58, to determine the number of sectors. On this particular drive the bytes were in big-endian order (or rather, mid-endian) and not the expected little-endian so 000782DA became 82DA0007 :) [02:45] My Poor old 14 yr printer.. getting obsoleted. [02:45] ITS NOT FREE UNTIL ITS ALL FREE [02:46] Dr_willis: that's not changing the fact that my dad finally wants to switch to ubuntu and i have once again failed [02:46] meoblast: Use ndiswrapper and install the drivers off of your wireless card's CD [02:46] ashlessburn: btw. found a solution for the madwifi complie error. I needed the latest svn version [02:46] hi, if i want to reinstall. I could just copy my home folder on another hd i have and leave it there, so i ll have my new installation with my home on another hd. But i still will lose a couple of configuration, like xorg.conf , mpd, and other things that i don t remember. Right ! [02:46] ahh yes what are u running [02:46] meoblast, ive not even heard the actual problem.. just ranting.. and other OT discussion.. So i cant really comment. [02:46] ok I did that with the ssh " commmand ssh localhost [02:46] it said conenction refused [02:46] Apple needs to release itunes for linux [02:46] make a seperate /home partition [02:46] help me.. i cant open .rar files [02:46] qcjn: It's not quite that simple...but sort of. [02:47] we dont need itunes :) [02:47] Ivanlul: hmm ... try Amarok and say that again ;) [02:47] sudo apt-get install rar [02:47] MaxRide: ok [02:47] thanks [02:47] ammagendut: install unrar [02:47] im sure u heard of the phrase "watch the world burn" well that be microsoft my friend [02:47] oops.. was a bit late [02:47] erm thats what i meant unrar lol [02:48] Dr_willis: i ran http://rafb.net/p/bJAxIe21.html and it hung at "sudo depmod -a".. so i skipped that step and ran the rest manually... then ran "sudo ndiswrapper -n" and then did "ifconfig" and not only was there no wlan0 but also no eth0.... leaving me only with lo... i can't get the stupid driver to work [02:48] Folowing https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Atheros I installed the necessary packages. The drivers are enabled. I don't get whats supposed to happen next. Is the network manager supposed to detect the card? [02:48] http://pastie.textmate.org/389512 <-- can't install python setup tools [02:48] use command ssh localhost it is telling me connection refused , [02:48] because i have a problem with my system and i was thinking that it could be easier to reinstall then mess around [02:48] sammyF: alright I'll do that later, but first I have to fix my gnome setting manager [02:48] how do I start this ssh server [02:48] Dr_willis: and the ubuntu forums are down once a-freaking-gain [02:48] Ivanlul: please put everything you get from gnome-settings-daemon --no-daemon on http://paste.ubuntu.com [02:49] qcjn: According to the Linux+ book, it's good to back up /etc /home /opt /root /var /srv ....although it might just be easier to go with just /home [02:49] theshadow: which atheros chip do you have? [02:49] sometimes laptop cards can be wlan0 eth1 ra0 ath0 ... [02:49] meoblast: do you get an error on depmod? [02:50] MaxRide: thats backing up almost everything [02:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/118248/ [02:50] qcjn: Well, yea. [02:51] crdlb: not sure. I was trying to find the ubuntu wiki entry for wireless but couldn't find it for 8.10 So I searched for the laptop model which told me I had that chipset :S [02:51] theshadow: lspci | grep -i ethernet should tell you [02:51] if not, look through the full output of lspci [02:51] MaxRide: i don t know, backing up youre whole system seems paranoia a bit.. no [02:51] Hi [02:51] bye [02:51] qcjn: I've never heard of anybody "accidently" backing up too many files. [02:51] sammyF: no it just hangs... it never ends [02:52] sammyF: ubuntu ussually locks up before it is done [02:52] qcjn: Forgetting to back something up, I hear all the time....plus you'll have a reference for any custom configs on your system. [02:52] meoblast: a shot in the dark, but have you tried adding -v to get some verbose output? [02:52] crdlb: did you get it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/118248/ [02:52] MaxRide, my wife had 10x copies of her vacation pictures all in nested subdirs.. does that count? :) [02:52] Ivanlul: ok, do it again with: gnome-settings-daemon --no-daemon --debug [02:52] crdlb: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [02:53] how accurate is the virus scanner? is it updated regularly? [02:53] theshadow: do you have wired access w/ ubuntu on that machine? [02:53] Ishmael, which virus scanner? Check its homepage? [02:53] Dr_willis: ...Heh...I'd choose a different strategy, but I get worried if my pics are only on 2 mediums...I like to have 3 or more... [02:53] clamTK [02:53] theshadow: for atheros stuff, you might want to try the madwifi drivers. check http://madfi-project.org [02:53] IndyGunFreak: yea thats how I'm here right now :p [02:53] theshadow: 32bit? [02:53] sammyF: no [02:53] theshadow: I have the same one in one computer; you just need to go to hardware drivers and enable "support for 5xxx series of atheros ..." [02:54] crdlb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/118251/ [02:54] IndyGunFreak: yea [02:54] i've got strange connection issues (under Ibex) - my laptop has intel 3945 [02:54] crdlb: he has to install the backporst. [02:54] sammyF: but the thought of restarting gave me a horrible frown [02:54] theshadow, for atheros support, the backtrack guys normally have lots to help [02:54] I installed the madwifi-tools but I couldn't find any other details about what to do [02:54] theshadow: first, system/admin/hardware drivers.. you should have 1 option there for atheros, right? [02:54] crdlb: I did that... [02:54] sammyF: i've been on here for 2 hours mostly waiting for Ubuntu to start up [02:54] connection seems to be fine (with NM) but actually nothing happens (dns do not respond) [02:54] brb [02:55] MaxRide: and it s all the messin around of doing all those back up, i have difficulties makin just the important backup [02:55] It says the 5x is enabled [02:55] theshadow: you shouldn't need madwifi with that device [02:55] meoblast: Are you sure it didn't hang? [02:55] in fact, madwifi doesn't work with that device afaict :) [02:55] hello [02:55] IndyGunFreak: fair enough. But the network manager doesn't seem to think there is wireless [02:55] meoblast: If using a LiveCD...is the drive still being accessed or did it settle down? You may need to use the Alternate. [02:55] theshadow: it doesn't... but madwifi isn't going to fix it. [02:56] yeah, lol, even with the slow cd-rom i have, it didn't take that long [02:56] MaxRide: i know that if you and this is a cd from an old rack-mounted server [02:56] crdlb: hmm .. just thinking it might have helped, as I'm compiling madwifi due to my atheros onboard wifi adapter right now ;) [02:56] qcjn: What type of medium are you going to use? [02:56] IndyGunFreak: again. I can understand that. But what do I do next? Thats what I've been trying to figure out. [02:56] MaxRide: i said i think it hung [02:56] iwconfig [02:56] iwconfig ath0 up [02:56] MaxRide: hard disk [02:56] what's this ssb driver? [02:56] theshadow: well,.. what do you have in sys/admin/hardware drivers [02:57] is it normal that the cmd route takes 30 seconds to display the default route ? [02:57] meoblast: Try using the alternate CD... [02:57] better idea... i will make a small install of ubuntu and growitize it later [02:57] brb [02:57] fga: use route -n if you dont like waiting for DNS requests [02:57] I put I added ServerAliveInterval 120 to my ssh config and I still get Read from remote host : Connection reset by peer [02:57] tnx [02:57] yeah, that's the problem - the dns are unreachable [02:57] qcjn: If your backing up to a dedicated harddrive, just use acronis to clone the entire install to the other drive. [02:57] is there a network guru currently available? My situation is too long to chat in the room. [02:58] IndyGunFreak: It shows a green light next to "Suport for 5xxx series of Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards." and "Support for Atheros 802.11 Wireless LAN Cards." === away_man_ftl is now known as iron_man_ftw [02:58] after a few mintutes it wasn't this way until today I installed ufw and denyhosts. [02:58] MaxRide: i ll look at that [02:58] theshadow: disable the second one.. "Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards" [02:58] Would any of those cause this problem? [02:58] anyone know of a good dreamweaver like IDE I could use? [02:58] theshadow: then restart, and see if your wireless works [02:59] ok brb [02:59] Hi, I was trying to dual-boot windows and linux and my partition / boot table now seems to be messed up and I am unable to boot windows (NTLDR is missing error) or to boot my Linux partition (it just goes straight to the windows boot), however I am currently running on a Live CD, can anyone help? [02:59] qcjn: Do a torrent search for "Hiren's boot CD" (If your into that) or just "Acronis"....cloning is VERY easy (Although, easy to make stupid mistakes as well) [02:59] Can someone test a torrent file for me? I'm trying to figure out how to see an original file [02:59] hello... i have a network of computers with an ip of 192.xxx.xx.xx each one... the router is 200.xxx.xx .. if i wanna use vnc on one of these computers from other network with ip i have to use?? [02:59] anarchman1: Copy NTLDR off a good computer to a floppy and try again [03:00] Ivanlul: I'm pretty stumped, but I'll keep looking [03:00] Getting disconnected every 5 minutes sucks :/ [03:00] aalright' [03:00] MaxRide: Ok, what will be my step to getting into Linux though? [03:00] MaxRide: As I don't care about the windows partition I just need to save my Ubuntu partition [03:00] batman_ramirez: the routers, IP and you have to set the router to forward the connection [03:00] I'ma restart my computer, brb [03:01] anarchman i think you need to install windows first then you need to install linux [03:01] anarchman1: Well, I'm actually kind of wondering how that happened....Ubuntu should have installed GRUB for you (EEEBuntu did for me at least)...Anyways, let me look up how to get grub working. [03:01] L33T-1: but Linux is already installed [03:01] if you have linux in there first then you have to start over i think [03:01] MaxRide: Grub was installed fine [03:01] hey, i ve just tought that under window you ve got this feature that you can go back to date before you did some changes, don t remember the name. Does ubuntu have that [03:01] anarchman1: But it's still trying to use the windows bootloader? [03:02] anarchman1: you might want to check supergrub. it can restore grub after installing windows I think [03:02] qcjn, not in the same way. No.. of course ive rarely had that feature WORK under windows either... [03:02] sammyf: Thanks, that's probably his best bet. [03:02] MaxRide: After installing Linux, I tried to get Windows to dual boot because it was not, I ran the Recovery Console and tried fixboot. This broke grub I believe [03:02] !rescue [03:02] To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [03:02] sammyF: Ok I will try that, can I apt-get that? [03:02] anarchman1, You need to make a grub floppy and boot using that after you install windows, then you need to re install grub and then add the line for windows in menu.lst [03:02] anarchman1: Yes, that sounds about right....FIXBOOT writes over the linux bootloader. [03:02] anarchman1: no.It's a (very small) iso. you boot from it [03:03] this machine does not have a floppy drive [03:03] IndyGunFreak: Alright now the first driver says "This driver is activated but not currently in use" [03:03] anarchman1, just boot from your ubuntu cd and do the rescue option [03:03] !grub [03:03] GRUB is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:03] anarchman1, use a usb stick then [03:03] anarchman1: you can get it from here : http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [03:03] zsquareplusc: then from where i connect... i used the router ip... and i have to specify and forward the pc ip im gonna use right? [03:03] could anybody help me out with getting my external hard drive to work with ubuntu? [03:03] theshadow: the 5xxx one [03:03] Ok thanks all for the help, I will try the live cd rescue, and the lost grub instructions [03:04] IndyGunFreak: yes [03:04] I cannot try anything that involves a floppy as I don't have one, nor a usb stick [03:04] anarchman1, see --> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/general-10/how-to-restore-grub-after-win-xp-install-446952/ [03:04] Does transmission BitTorrent client use alot of cpu power? [03:04] batman_ramirez: yes. and you know that vnc is not encrypted? so for connection over internet, i'd use an ssh tunnel [03:04] anyone know of a good IDE for web design, dreamweaver like ? [03:04] theshadow: ok... it shouldn't be like that... can you uninstall madwifi, and undo any changes you've made? [03:04] anarchman1, you have all the tools already to restore you grub, the cd you used to install ubuntu [03:04] transmission is quite lite [03:04] anarchman1, do you have a cd burner? [03:04] IndyGunFreak: thats a lot to check on let me see [03:04] i understand.. [03:05] Mechdave: yes, but as cpk1 is saying, maybe i can run the rescue from my livecd? [03:05] how do I get a list of packages that I've explicitly installed (as opposed to *all* of the ones currently installed)? is that even possible? [03:05] theshadow: well, we can try soethng before you do that [03:05] cpk1: thanks I will try running the rescue, i assume that is an option on boot up? [03:05] zsquareplusc: thx ill keep that in my mind [03:05] anarchman1, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub read that it will tell you how to reinstall grub [03:05] ideally I'd like to write this out to a text file and run it later [03:05] anarchman1, you might have to change the bios to boot from cd before trying to boot from the hard drive [03:05] !clone | jsquared [03:05] jsquared: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [03:06] IndyGunFreak: Ok I removed everything I installed except for linux-backports-modules-intrepid [03:06] ok thanks heading off to try these now [03:06] want me to remove that one too? [03:06] <[ucb]kevin> help! im trying to install the latest version of MINT (v.6) and i run into partition error [03:06] anarchman1, you can although I have not done it from the later live disks [03:06] theshadow: honestly, that should be the only thing you need installed to make that device work(i have it on 3 different laptops) [03:07] let me remove and reinstall it [03:07] theshadow: did you modprobe anything, etc...? [03:07] crdlb: won't that get packages that get installed as a dependency, though? [03:07] nope === john is now known as Guest99785 [03:07] I was working to avoid doing any of that [03:07] theshadow: make sure you haven't done any of the blacklist stuff on that guide you linked to [03:07] jsquared, aptitude tells you if something was autmatically installed [03:07] hi [03:07] I didn't do any of that [03:07] What are the security risks involved with disabling the sudo password prompt on an account? [03:07] if i want to decrement $i in a shell script, do i have to do ((i=i-1))? [03:07] theshadow: ok, you probably don't need to reinstall the backports just after youv'e removed all the other nonsense (madwifi, ndiswrapper, anythign else you tried), restart [03:07] my external isn't being seen by ubuntu but my imac and my vista both see it fine and i'm not sure why...it's formatted FAT32...can anyone give me some pointers? [03:07] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/118254/plain/ - Anyone got a solution for this? [03:07] IndyGunFreak: will do [03:08] cpk1: and I can write out to a text file the list of packages the things that were manually installed? [03:08] brb again [03:08] <[ucb]kevin> is there a channel or server designated to MINT? [03:08] MK13: why not just static and be done deal? [03:09] afraid Vista will freak out if it isnt done "it's" prefered way [03:09] Crdld are u there [03:09] dusting, is it visiable in "computer"? [03:09] MK13: then static vista too [03:09] cv [03:10] the vista computer gets moved around too much for that === blastron|away is now known as blastron [03:10] if i want to decrement $i in a shell script, do i have to do ((i=i-1))? is there another way? [03:10] Crdld I'm at the ubuntu log on window and it's blue [03:10] zsquareplusc: thanks it works pretty good [03:10] MK13: There should be a tab in Vista to set locations for networking....like an alternate TCP/IP config if the first one fails... [03:10] cbill, in computer i just see my cd/dvd drive and filesystem [03:11] ahhh, I'll check that out real quick [03:11] +++++++++++++++++++ [03:11] MK13: I know the feature exists, and it's in TCP/IP properties for the NIC, but you'll have to find it. [03:11] ok, found a problem with the network ... [03:11] <[ucb]kevin> help! im trying to install the latest version of MINT (v.6) and i run into partition error [03:11] dusting, it should be seen, fat32 is supported, try repowering the devise? [03:12] +++++++++++++++++++++6 [03:12] Ivanipod: what do you mean? [03:13] Hi, I tried the recovering Ubuntu after installing Windows instructions, and when in grub and run the command "find /boot/grub/stage1" or "find /grub/stage1" I get Error 15: File not Found" [03:13] jsquared, I think that command that crdlb gave you will do what you want, aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' should list installed packages that werent automatic and then the other half just redirects it to a file, you can change the location it redirects to [03:14] Sorry for asking a question about an out-of-support version, but I'm having issues upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10. The update-manager keeps failing to get the upgrade prerequisites, citing that it cannot find the feisty-backports server. I can't find the feisty-backports entry in sources.list, where can I go to disable it? [03:14] Cldlb I was at the log in window [03:14] cbill, i've repowered it and plugged it in/unplugged it numerous times and it hasn't helped thus far [03:14] sammyF: why not the Ultimate boot cd it also has the supergrub disk tools on it === eric is now known as talntid [03:15] dusting, do you have a windows box avail? could you plug in to that, do a proper dismount, and try again? [03:15] okay [03:15] hell all, [03:15] Back on my computer [03:15] cpk1: I was unable to follow your suggestion as I get a File Not Found error when trying find /boot/grub/stage1 [03:15] that was me on the ipod btw [03:15] sorry - that was a typo [03:15] hello all [03:15] blastron, feisty is not supported anymore [03:15] Ivanlul: I figured [03:15] you can download the gutsy alternate cd and use this cd to upgrade [03:16] u scan [03:16] but not to the ability u are looking for i believe [03:16] just burn the alternate and when you insert it ubuntu will ask you if you want to upgrade [03:16] cbill, what exactly do you mean by "proper"? i can't just unplug the usb? and yes i have the windows pc available [03:16] MrGoodkat_: Alright, I'll try that, thanks. [03:16] anarchman1, what about /grub/stage1? [03:16] a [03:16] dusting, correct, safely remove hardware [03:16] hm [03:16] MK13: I was looking for a tool for that I saw a while ago-- to allow multiple configurations for a network manager-. [03:16] Ivanlul: I just realized that Bus error is a low-level error similar to a segfault, not anything related to dbus, so there's some sort of bug in gnome-settings-daemon that you're hitting [03:16] dusting, never just remove a usb device ;) [03:17] crdlb: alright, what can I do? [03:17] cbill, oops alright i'll try that brb [03:17] dusting: Windows sometimes caches data to be written to USB, "Safely Remove Hardware" checks to make sure all the files are in the drive before you pull it out. [03:17] dusting, kk [03:17] crdlb: I tried reinstalling dbus too [03:18] Ivanlul: you said that this is a fresh install from a few hours ago? [03:18] crdlb: yeah pretty much [03:18] crdlb: + I've installed all the new updates [03:19] Ivanlul: did you run the integrity checker on the install cd to make sure there wasn't a burn error? [03:19] cpk1: also did not work, same error [03:19] how can i change the caps of compiz cube, I can change the skydome but not the tops/bottoms [03:19] crdlb: nope [03:19] crdlb: Should I go run it right now to rule it out? [03:20] Ivanlul: yeah [03:20] interesting... [03:20] What is the channel for general hardware help? [03:20] okay [03:20] I'ma be on my ipod [03:20] !compiz [03:20] Hm [03:20] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [03:20] guys ...have a stupid question ...what application do I use to read / work in Ubuntu for Excel?

[03:22] I installed it like a month ago [03:22] I did install wine and it doesn't work [03:22] anarchman1, I think you need to start at about 1/4 down the page where it says "Overwriting the Windows bootloader" [03:22] ?? [03:23] sunset: Which apps are you trying to run? [03:23] anarchman1, thats an I THINK though =) [03:23] And I did a fresh install a few hours ago [03:23] cbill, yes vista home as well as mac OS X detect it no prob [03:23] hello lady's and gentleman [03:23] sunset: http://www.google.com/url?sa=U&start=1&q=https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine&ei=m4qXSZr1AYic8gSnk-3SAw&sig2=wON8J6Iar1KEuxUYECWwcg&usg=AFQjCNFPKPGLt5BhISm0MkEZb7Rs6h5ayQ [03:23] Noone Certain of Enabling Sli in Ubuntu ?

[03:26] somethingclever: i'd say it's best to reinstall [03:26] maxride_: no i didn't know that, but by the way things are going it doesn't look like I can boot anything [03:26] hey guys [03:26] Freddy-Yi: type: /leave [03:26] dusting, run as sudo, dont change anything, just see if drive is detected there [03:26] Freddy-Yi: type /join #ubuntu-fr [03:26] anarchman1: Let me find the instructions on how to do that. [03:26] I try to install openssh server from the add add software progema and I dont see it [03:26] Freddy-Yi: then: /join #ubuntu-fr [03:26] maxride_: ok [03:26] hi does somebody experienced this bug: Nautilus 2.24.1 in open and save dialog box ( fore example firefox ) when you create a folder and press enter folder just created and not selected so if you press enter your file save on the current directory not in new folder [03:26] mkdir /mnt/root [03:26] ack [03:27] cbill, how exactly do i use it? [03:27] it's occur in new gnome and nautils [03:27] je tape où ces commandes ? [03:27] <[ucb]kevin> when are the ubuntu forums coming back up :( :( :( [03:27] anarchman1: you don't have permissions to create the directory /mnt/root here [03:27] :) [03:27] dusting, sec been awhile, im installing too [03:27] anarchman1: :P [03:27] I got my mid term report card today [03:27] ivanipod: u need help with ur ipod? [03:27] Hi all, Ubuntu (8.10 Intrepid) noob here... can anyone help me to tether my windows mobile phone to connecct to the internet? I'm stuck with XP right now... And I don't know how to compile, so manually installing usb-rndis-lite is out of the question! :S [03:27] I'm a bit worried [03:27] does any body ? [03:28] short of converting .lit files to html, is there any programs that can read .lit files directly on linux? [03:28] 2a- [03:28] nobody ? [03:28] dusting: cbill: I'd suggest checking "cat /proc/partitions" and also "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id" for signs the block devices have been seen, but mostly, I'd look at the recent entries in the log since the device was last plugged in: "tail -n 100 /var/log/kern.log" [03:28] please some body answer me [03:28] Dr_willis: if you gave me a copy of you re xorg.conf and i would make a back up of mine and tried yours [03:29] how can i change the hildon desktop look? rearrange the shortcuts ad a shutdown menu etc [03:29] anarchman1: First you want to boot to your windows CD into the recovery console. You'll then want to copy NTLDR off of the CD (or Thumbdrive) and run FIXBOOT and FIXMBR to get the windows bootloader to work. [03:29] The problem with everything I try is I keep getting special device does not exist [03:29] anarchman1: Let me switch the rest to PM [03:29] dusting, swith drives from the top right drop down menu, see if you see your external there, also read intuitivenipple advise [03:29] maxride_: ok [03:30] intuitivenipple, would it help to restart his PC? [03:30] No errors found cldrd [03:30] Come on how do I enable the ssh the docs say imust instal openssh but I dont see that in the repositiory is this right? [03:31] anyone would give me a copy of his xorg.conf [03:31] are there any body in amoung of 1307 user answer me here? [03:31] cbill: At this point, I'd guess no. I'd want to see what the kernel.log reports if the device is disconnected/powered-down/re-connected [03:31] lol [03:31] mrglinux: that doesn't sound like a bug. double click on the folder to enter it. then save. [03:31] cyberfab007, openssh-server if you want the server one, you should already have the client [03:31] cbill: I've had recent experience with USB external devices that got internally locked up and a power-reset on them fixed the issue [03:31] hey [03:32] MK13: I just found Bind9 -- dns server to put on your server-- then the network will have a dns. [03:32] wow, thnx [03:32] ok [03:32] let me chieck [03:32] check [03:32] I dont see it though in the GUI where I add software too [03:32] MK13: This guide is for 8.04 what version of server do you have? [03:32] intuitivenipple, kk thanks [03:32] 8.10 [03:33] do have the copy of Internet & www how to program by Dietel [03:33] do you have the soft copy of Internet & www how to program by Dietel [03:33] boshhead yes it's a problem because i doesn't exist in previous version so i habit when a create folder just press enter more and more to create new folder and go to new folder and save the file.. and in another os and browsers is sames . why don't you accept this as a problem ? [03:33] MK13: Though it should install on 8.10 (you may try googling bind9 for 8.10) but here is the guide... Installing An Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 LTS DNS Server With BIND | HowtoForge - Linux Howtos and Tutorials [03:33] keka, im a little confused, what do you need? [03:33] i still cannot get exe files to run using ubuntu? [03:33] kk, thnx [03:33] MK13: if you can't find it then try #ubuntu-server room [03:34] sunset, you need wine to attempt to run windows .exe files [03:34] mrglinux: because I've never found it to be un-intuitive, I guess. [03:34] respond to me [03:34] cpk1 i dont see that software anywhere [03:34] I am very new to ubuntu [03:34] MK13: Since the major complaint is lack of DNS -- why not just install DNS [03:34] i downloaded and its not working [03:34] I suppose I have to delete and retry again [03:34] cok1 i am new ubuntu and need this to give my engineer access [03:34] I first time in ubuntu [03:34] sunset, what did you download? [03:35] redvamp128: MK13 Are you wanting the Ubuntu server to 'serve' IP addresses/names to other PCs, or get an IP for itself? [03:35] wine doors [03:35] respond to me anybody [03:35] cyberfab007, in a terminal try "aptitude search openssh" [03:35] keka: what's your problem? [03:35] IntuitiveNipple: not for me-- but for MK13: [03:35] sunset, from terminal run "sudo apt-get install wine" [03:35] ok [03:35] redvamp128: I was just making sure you spotted I was asking about the same issue :) [03:36] sunset, you can also add from synaptic [03:36] hey sammyF I want a copy of Internet & www how to program by Dietel [03:36] cpk1 ok I have now is it [03:36] su aptitude install openssh-server [03:36] hey sammyF, I want a soft copy of Internet & www how to program by Dietel, if u have send me [03:36] brb [03:37] cyberfab007: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [03:37] keka: and I want a pony .. guess we'll both have to look elsewhere [03:37] i want the server to get it from Vista, since vista deals out ip's for the rest of the computers i connect to at home. But the weird thing is that in VMware the Ubuntu Server installation connects to the Vista pc flawlessly [03:37] cool [03:37] I guess VMware has built in DHCP [03:37] keka, check your library [03:37] hey sammyF, are an Indian [03:37] MK13: okay, then the Ubuntu PC needs dhclient3, which it should already have installed [03:37] cbill, i dont see a way to switch drives on the top right (where it has my username and date time etc.) i did those things intuitive mentioned but i dont know exactly what i'm looking for...i didn't see anything that looked like the external drive in question [03:38] IntuitiveNipple: how could I tell just to be sure? [03:38] dusting, top right in gparted, run from terminal: sudo gparted [03:38] MK13: For dhclient to work the interface needs to be set up for DHCP, or Network Manager should manage the interface [03:38] hey sammyF, are u an Indian? [03:38] IntuitiveNipple: any good tutorials? [03:38] fucking gnome [03:38] crdlb: [03:38] bye............

[03:39] dusting, i just want to know if gparted sees the drive [03:39] MK13: apt-cache policy dhcp3-client [03:39] wget [03:39] Ivanlul: does the xrandr command work for you? [03:39] damnit, how do I find in irssi? [03:39] (oops, lang) [03:40] crdlb: just xrandr [03:40] Ivanlul: ie, not print Bus error or anything else that looks like an error [03:40] yes, just xrandr [03:40] cbill, i see what ur talking about but my internal hd is the only option [03:40] Royal: I am trying to open a excel file from a usb into Ubuntu....don't know howto.... [03:40] dusting, ok its not being detected, i want to try a reboot with the device plugged in [03:41] IntuitiveNipple: prints out dhcp3 client: installed: 3.1.... canidate... etc. [03:41] crdlb: nop, no errors, just gives me something that looks like a matrix with resolutions and other stuff [03:41] Nasra: double click it and it should open with openoffice [03:41] MK13: That's installed then. Now, do you want NetworkManager to mange the connection or set it up yourself [03:41] is asking for an application nanatube: [03:42] nanotube: there is a whole bunch of stuff in there.... [03:42] IntuitiveNipple: i'd like to try Network manger first [03:42] Nasra: do you have openoffice? check in main menu: applications -> office -> openoffice spreadsheet, is that there? [03:42] yes [03:42] Nasra: well, then open that first, then from there do file -> open, and browse to that excel file [03:43] nanotube: okay [03:43] Hey guys, I'm trying (desperately) to play a DVD in my laptop, but it keeps on failing in NUMEROUS players. VLC, Gnome, Totem, Kaffeine, etc. It's a brand new DVD out of the box. I believe the problem is stupid copy protection. Can I watch this movie I paid for???? [03:43] cbill, okay i'll brb [03:43] Nasra: if it is really an excel file, it should open... [03:43] dusting, ill be here [03:43] MK13: OK, so we need to ensure that something isn't preventing NM from managing that interface. Can you generate a report using the commands I'm about to give you, and then copy the results to a pastebin? [03:43] !medibuntu | linux_guy [03:43] linux_guy: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [03:43] linux_guy: sure nuff [03:43] linux_guy: medibuntu has the libdvdcss package [03:44] sure [03:44] nanotube, thanks [03:44] how can i see which files a process is working on? === maxride_ is now known as MaxRide [03:44] linux_guy: once that and dma settings are right you are good to go...should have a script for you in the wiki [03:44] linux_guy: good luck :) [03:44] Ivanlul: remove the file ~/.config/monitors.xml [03:44] IntuitiveNipple: i'll try atleast [03:44] thanks [03:44] linux_guy: :) [03:44] crdlb: what command do I use [03:45] Ivanlul: rm ~/.config/monitors.xml [03:45] crdlb: It's prob. placed in a diff file, I can't remove it [03:45] MK13: "ifconfig >/tmp/report.log && cat /etc/network/interfaces >>/tmp/report.log" [03:46] MK13: You can then load the file /tmp/report.log into a text-editor, and copy-paste the contents into the pastebin [03:46] IntuitiveNipple: on a side note i realise that after a fresh reboot at the command "sudo ifconfig" that eth0 isn't listed, i have to run "sudo ifconfig -a" [03:46] Ivanlul: ls ~/.config/monitors* [03:46] does that output anything? [03:47] MK13: okay, that could be useful to know! [03:47] excusze me, I want to change the colours of mu text and background in Xchat. [03:47] IntuitiveNipple: i just remembered, sry [03:47] nanotube: is alittle window popup it says : Filter Selection...but don't know what to do from there...I have open openoffice.calc...open.... [03:47] MK13: let's see what we find out [03:47] Nasra: well, then it's not an excel file [03:47] oh [03:48] crdlb: no such file [03:48] what's the extension on it? what happens when you run command "file" on it? [03:48] nanotube; yes it's cause i work oll the time in Windows.... [03:48] Nasra: what's the extension on it? what happens when you run command "file" on it? [03:48] hangon [03:49] nanotube: it's ----> .shs [03:49] Ivanlul: ok, I didn't think that had anything to do with it since it's a fresh install, but the last thing that runs before it crashes is monitor-related [03:49] crdlb: I checked my config file and I have folders: auto start, compiz, enchant, gtk2.0,tracker and files: user-dirs.dirs and user0dirs.locale [03:49] at the end [03:49] config folder* [03:50] Nasra: i don't even know what that is... try running file on it and see what it says. you know the basics of using the terminal? [03:50] nanotube: everything is saved on a usb stick [03:50] Nasra: say your file is located on the usb stick which is mounted under /media/myusbstick [03:50] nanotube, i'm afraid i already have libdvdcss2 [03:50] nanotube: alittle eventhoug I am new in Ubuntu....know alittle [03:50] Hello [03:50] correct [03:50] Nasra: then you open a terminal and you type "file /media/myusbstick/yourfilename.shs" [03:50] i want some help in comfiguring compiz [03:51] using compiz config manager [03:51] okay [03:51] Nasra: and that will tell you what kind of file it is [03:51] hangon [03:51] Nasra: ok :) [03:52] * linux_guy would like to state that copy protection for his paid for DVD is ruining his night [03:52] int256: did you see the guide I posted the link to earlier - Forlong's Blog - I'm trying to comprehend the things I write about midway down-- there is also a compiz check too [03:52] Nasra: hm, well, according to google, .shs is some weird "shell scrap object file": http://www.fileinfo.net/extension/shs [03:52] linux_guy: awww, was it a movie for valentine's day? [03:53] linux_guy, did you run the script for libdvdcss? [03:53] redvamp128: windows is attaching to the edge of desktop. how to disable it [03:53] Ivanlul: btw, have you tried since rebooting? [03:53] boshhead, our first real date to a movie.... for valentines we bought the dvd and are watching it in the hotel on the laptop.... [03:53] cbill, no script...? [03:53] crdlb: hang on [03:53] linux_guy, ill find a link [03:53] cbill, thanks [03:53] By the way....the other day, I got Ubuntu to crash hard....it was the proudest moment of my life. [03:53] int256: did you install the compiz config manager and is it ok to PM? [03:54] crdlb: same thing [03:54] * linux_guy says this will help with other fun activities tonight guys HELP! haha [03:54] cbill, alright so i restarted with the drive plugged in and the ubuntu loading bar hung about 1/5 of the way until i unplugged the drive and then it completed loading up, still not showing up [03:54] redvamp128: ya it is working [03:54] crdlb: how do I manually start gnome setting manager? [03:54] Nasra: if that's the case... probably can't be open in linux. they are some kind of pseudo-executable... where did you get that file anyway? :) [03:54] Ivanlul: gnome-settings-daemon --no-daemon [03:54] Ivanlul: look for Bus error [03:55] linux_guy: well just get the repository set up as described in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu then you just have to sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 [03:55] so, if i want to put a launcher item in my xfce taskbar, whee do the apps to choose from live at? [03:55] nanotube: no such a file [03:55] boshhead, i just did that... and i already had all that [03:55] crdlb: year I got a bus error [03:55] went terminal I try to findout answer no such file lol... [03:55] MaxRide: I received an "Invalid Partition Table" error [03:55] yeah* lol [03:56] anarchman1: In windows or Linux? [03:56] dusting, i think you need more expert help :( im out of ideas, someone will get it figured though [03:56] it's so easy for me to open in office windows....loll... [03:56] Nasra: that means you are not typing the correct path to the file. [03:56] MaxRide: In Windows [03:56] what's a good dvd burning program? [03:56] nanotube: damn [03:56] Ishmael: k3b [03:56] lol... [03:56] linux_guy, sent PM with instructions [03:57] nanotube : I am trying again...lol.. [03:57] Nasra: remember that linux is case sensitive. :) [03:57] ok [03:57] Nasra: also remember to take advantage of tab completion. [03:57] anarchman1: Was this in the recovery console or in the emergency repair process? [03:57] IntuitiveNipple: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/118260/ [03:57] MaxRide: recovery console [03:57] Hi, I have problem! [03:57] Nasra: (ie., if you start typing file /med it will fill in the rest of the dir name and give you "file /media/" [03:57] I cannot log into ubuntu because my harddrive is full [03:57] Nasra: have tab-completion do the work for you, that way you can avoid typos. [03:57] okay [03:57] MaxRide: unfortunately don't have an emergency repair process so couldn't try that option [03:57] I mean the ubuntu partition is full [03:58] anarchman1: Humm...was this while trying to run FIXBOOT? [03:58] thebigham: can you log into recovery mode, and delete some useless files from there? [03:58] MK13: Okay, that looks good... now we just have to figure out why the interface doesn't appear at boot-time... if we do that, the rest will follow [03:58] !paste [03:58] 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) [03:58] nanotube, thanks for the quick respond, how do I get into recovery mode [03:58] oh wow, k3b added a fancy flash screen since i've used it [03:58] MK13: can you pastebin the results of: "sudo lspci -vvnn >/tmp/report.log" [03:58] anarchman1: I think that recovery console couldn't find the partition with windows loaded onto it for some reason. So actually, you will have to try to get GRUB loaded again. [03:59] cbill, thanks for trying to get it figured out, i still learned a few things [03:59] MaxRide: i ran fixmbr and it ran fine, then tried booting and got that error [03:59] thebigham: when you boot, you see the "booting in 2..1..0" text on the screen - hit "escape" to go to grub, and choose the recovery mode from there. [03:59] MaxRide: Ok, the problem there is everything I have tried runs into a File Not Found error in grub [03:59] dusting, no problem, i try to help but im no pro :| [03:59] crdlb: well, looks like I'm in a sticky place [03:59] cbill, http://paste.ubuntu.com/118262/ [03:59] dusting: Have you checked the kern.log immediately after plugging in the device? [04:00] IntuitiveNipple: when i put in "auto eth1 [04:00] iface eth1 inet static [04:00] address 10.0.0.1 [04:00] linux_guy, sudo apt-get install totem-xine [04:00] netmask 255.255.255.0 [04:00] MK13_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:00] oops, my bad :( [04:00] cbill, did that one first [04:00] can anyone point me to some good unix / linux noob dev sites? [04:00] anarchman1: Can you try LILO? [04:00] t3hp00ky: 'dev' site? what kind of 'dev' ? [04:00] thanks boshhead [04:00] cbill, nevermind its downloading / installing now [04:01] Where does my webserver log its visitors ip's if its being ran with apache/dyndns [04:01] Ivanlul: yeah :/ I can't find any reference to gnome-settings-daemon having ever caused a Bus error anywhere [04:01] Hello i have been busting my head trying to unrar split archive i have read most of the howtos but to no avail [04:01] linux_guy, sorry, i think you need to add repository, go into synaptic, repositories, ... ok nvm [04:01] basic linux development [04:01] xSlack: usually /var/log/apache2/ [04:01] crdlb: maybe it's a combination of problems [04:01] MaxRide: sure if i have instructions, also here is a paste of my partition table which appears to be messed up: http://paste.ubuntu.com/118264/ [04:01] IntuitiveNipple: Ty [04:01] nanotube: gaveup ... I am a quitter [04:01] can anyone help the files are *part1.rar [04:01] t3hp00ky: you mean kernel then? Try "Kernel Newbies" [04:01] cbill, now how do i get those libxinel yadda yadda yaddas? [04:02] linux_guy, run the script again after install [04:02] cbill, script = .sh? [04:02] anarchman1: That's not a partition table :( [04:02] Nipple thanks [04:02] nipple thanks1 [04:02] HAHA [04:02] crdlb: When I was updating I noticed a couple of errors dealing with java runtime, think that might cause anything? [04:02] IntuitiveNipple: it's all i have left of one [04:02] linux_guy ya : sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh [04:03] anarchman1: Ouch! [04:03] well with fdisk -l [04:03] anarchman1: Can you pastebin be something? [04:03] That is the correct command right? [04:03] anarchman1: Yes, it is. [04:03] sure i can pastebin [04:03] IntuitiveNipple: ok [04:03] cbill, we'll try again thanks [04:03] anarchman1: Can you access the drives via the live CD? [04:04] Ivanlul: definitely not, although both errors may have a shared cause [04:04] anarchman1: grab the output of this: "sudo dd-if/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 | hexdump -C >/tmp/report.log" then pastebin the contents of /tmp/report.log for me [04:04] linux_guy, let me know if you get an error when running script [04:04] crdlb: true [04:04] MaxDrive: i can try? not sure where to look in the file system [04:04] IntuitiveNipple: ok [04:05] hi any one with any experience making dvds on ubuntu [04:05] cbill, scrip ran cleanly, typed totem-xine from terminal, play disc, error [04:05] Nasra: heh... [04:05] anarchman1: hang on, I made a typo! [04:05] IntuitiveNipple: yep [04:05] linux_guy, do you have vlc installed? [04:05] * linux_guy throws laptop from hotel window === porter1_ is now known as porter1 [04:05] anarchman1: "sudo dd if=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 | hexdump -C >/tmp/report.log" [04:05] cbill, yes it played 20 min and cut off [04:06] well, your best bet may be to open it in ms excel, and "save as" excel file. but really.. i've never seen a .shs file in my life, so i really don't know how you came by it. :) [04:06] Nasra: well, your best bet may be to open it in ms excel, and "save as" excel file. but really.. i've never seen a .shs file in my life, so i really don't know how you came by it. :) [04:06] anarchman1: That doesn't look good to me...so I'm going to yield it to INtuitiveNipple now. [04:06] linux_guy, i would try vlc again, now that script is enabled [04:06] MaxRide: ok well thanks for your help [04:06] cbill, ok thanks [04:06] MaxRide: I'm just wondering if looking at the raw data we can determine *what* over-wrote the MBR [04:07] this is probable nothing but i made this dvd using devede and when i lay it on a tv the edges are missing [04:07] IntuitiveNipple: http://paste.ubuntu.com/118271/ [04:07] IntuitiveNipple: Doesn't really matter at this point...you can rewrite the MBR all you want, but it looks as though the partition table MAY be messed up as well. [04:08] MaxRide: that makes me a sad panda bear [04:08] topo, there is a crop setting in devede [04:08] anarchman1: thanks, lemme look [04:08] anarchman1: Well, it can probably be fixed.... [04:08] cbill, what do you mean? [04:09] cbill: when i play the dvd on totem everything shows [04:09] topo, you can pick how to format it on screen, i think you need the other option [04:09] MaxRide: The MBR/partition table are in sector 0... if something over-writes them it is sometimes possible to know what... and knowing that, you can make a judgement as to whether the partition table can be rebuilt. [04:09] MaxRide: I hope my probabilities are aligned correctly then :) [04:09] crdlb: alright, what's that bug error debug command again [04:09] IntuitiveNipple: It should be the Windows Recovery Console that overwrote the MBR, as I opened it up and ran fixmbr [04:09] and fixboot [04:09] Ivanlul: gnome-settings-daemon --no-daemon [04:10] I'm booting from a rescue CD, trying to get grub back. I get a "The rescue operation 'grub-reinstall' failed with exit code 20." when I try to do it through the UI... where would the logs be for the boot CD? [04:10] Ivanlul: you can add --debug for more output, but none of that seemed out of the ordinary [04:10] cowo nih [04:10] IntuitiveNipple: Yea....But looking at his other dump, things don't look so well when it comes to the partitions....MBR is easy to fix, but the partition table could be a real problem. [04:10] crdlb: what about the bus one [04:10] How do I unmount a volume via the terminal? [04:10] anarchman1: Looking at that, somehow it managed to corrupt just the 4x16 bytes of the partition table (stored at the very end of the sector) so in theory, we can rebuild it and recover the file-systems [04:10] jakarta [04:11] Ivanlul: which bus one? [04:11] IntuitiveNipple: that sounds promising [04:11] Royall: umount (Path to device) [04:11] i'm running xfce4 and not xubuntu desktop in ubuntu but it won't let xfce run the desktop when I log in how do i solve this? [04:11] thanks [04:11] :) [04:11] crdlb: the one to debug the bus [04:11] crdlb: wait that was that program [04:11] anarchman1: It can take a lot of work... if you want to try it, shall we move to a quiet channel of our own to focus on it? [04:12] IntuitiveNipple: sounds good if you have the time you can pm me [04:12] hi guys, i need help with an nvidia driver for intrepid 64 bit desktop edition - the card is a geforce 7950 gx2 [04:12] anyone knows how to use devede [04:12] anarchman1: Lets do /join #disk-recovery (any one else who is interested can join us) [04:12] Ivanlul: d-feet, but it's definitely not a d-bus problem [04:12] IntuitiveNipple: ok [04:13] that's not the bus in 'Bus error' [04:13] My vista hard drive crashed and I am trying to use a liveCD of ubuntu to transfer the data off of the drive. I am unable to mount the drive though can anyone help? [04:13] what is the bus in bus error [04:14] is there any reason exim4 should be running on Ubuntu server if I didn't install it? [04:14] nvm Ill try the disk recovery channel mention above first I guess [04:14] Ivanlul: I think it's caused by trying to access memory that a cpu cannot physically address [04:14] evilGUI: i'm running xfce4 and not xubuntu desktop in ubuntu but it won't let xfce run the desktop when I log in how do i solve this? [04:14] I'm booting from a rescue CD... when I chroot into the drive and try to fdisk, I get 'can't read /proc/partitions' (and /proc/ is indeed empty), so how the heck do I run grub-reinstall if I can't read the disk... that I'm running on...? :/ [04:15] I need help getting Audacity to play with my microphone. Confirmed the mic is ok, and Audacity plays stuff, but I can't get it to record from my mic. I triple checked my Audacity and Volume appelet control/settings, still no joy, ideas? [04:15] IntuitiveNipple: i don't think i'll be able to send that last command, I have no way of transferring it so I would have to type it by hand [04:15] lstarnes: any way to fix that [04:15] Ivanlul: what program is showing that error? [04:15] moneybags1234: No idea I don't use xfce4. [04:16] lstarnes: appearances [04:16] evilGUI: oh well thanks [04:16] what's up with pulseaudio? [04:16] MK13_: Could you transfer the file to a USB key and get it that way? [04:16] lstarnes: gnome-settings-daemon is [04:16] (and the appearance properties is complaining that it can't start gnome-settings-daemon) [04:16] nable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon' Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take effect. [04:17] his could indicate a problem with Bonobo, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings manager. [04:17] Ivanlul: try reinstalling gnome-settings-daemon [04:17] im new to using just the cli and the server, so I don't know how to access a usb key [04:17] * crdlb is going to die if that works [04:17] hi [04:17] synpnatic manager right [04:18] Ivanlul: yes [04:18] Ivanlul: it might be quicker to go into a terminal and type sudo aptitude reinstall gnome-settings-daemon [04:19] re installing [04:19] hmmhmm hmmmm [04:19] what is the error in forum ? and why? "mrglinux, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons: " [04:20] alright [04:20] i've made a movie with devede when i play it on the pc is fine, but when i play it on my tv the left and right borders are missing [04:20] is skype available for ubuntu via package management ? [04:20] should I restart or what [04:20] Is there a way to see what's thrashing my disk? Top doesn't show that. [04:20] douglasness: how did you try to mount your disk? [04:20] HAHAHHA [04:20] HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHAHHA [04:20] crdlb you better be ready to die [04:20] oh wow [04:20] what's a good program to convert avi to dvd? [04:20] first I just tried to mount it using the gui [04:20] HAHAHHAHAHA [04:21] then I tried to do a command in the terminal [04:21] I've got the knife ready ... [04:21] oh wowwwwwwwwwww [04:21] ill give it to you in one sec once I find it again [04:21] i've made a movie with devede when i play it on the pc is fine, but when i play it on my tv the left and right borders are missing [04:21] crdlb how many hours did we go at it? [04:21] whats up Ivanlul ?!!

[04:22] use a time machine to warn yourself-from-two-hours-ago [04:22] MK13_: Hmmm... not sure what to suggest. if you have one and plug it in, it should appear as an icon on the desktop, and then you can drag the file from another window where you've navigated to the /tmp/ directory, onto the USB key so you can transfer it to the Internet-connected PC [04:22] I'm not that good at linux [04:23] crdlb but that'll change anything [04:23] Ishmael: that has to do with the aspect ratio i choose 4:3 i thinkç [04:23] who wants to help me with user permissions, i think its chroot [04:23] what if I wouldn't've wasted 2 hours of your life [04:24] you might get in a car crash or something [04:24] and that will lead to something else!

Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add and link it from the channel. [05:25] hi there [05:26] Jeffzda: thats thee error? [05:26] derrek: well, I guess, If you want to blow the bucks on computers, but I'd rather spend it on radio stuff. [05:26] I want to find out that which file in gnome devel has this declared GdkAppLaunchContext [05:26] ziroday: aye [05:26] Jeffzda: it sounds like the drive is corrupted [05:26] ziroday: that is bad news indeed [05:26] last backup was a couple of weeks... [05:26] Jeffzda: best idea is to just overwrite everything and start a fresh [05:26] just used UNetbootin to put the 8.10 Live cd on my USB driver. When it boots on my laptop i only get a bash prompt. Not the GUI. [05:27] silv3r_m001: try asking in #ubuntu-kernel? [05:27] is flash 10 suppose to support v4l2 webcams?

When it boots on my laptop i only get a bash prompt. Not the GUI. [05:29] Jeffzda: GL [05:29] systemd0wn: tried doing sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start? [05:30] "starting GNOME display manager... [OK]" then drops me to a prompt again [05:31] systemd0wn: hmph, try startx [05:31] systemd0wn: any informative errors listed in the prompt? [05:31] can I ask for help with Xchat in hee? [05:31] here* [05:31] anyone knows how to find or fix /etc/enscript.conf? [05:31] please? [05:31] Is there a way to see what process's accessing my disk? Top doesn't show fs usage. [05:31] HLM11: sure, but #xchat might be more helpful [05:32] startx gets me "Versa(0): No valid modes" "fatal server error: no screens found giving up" [05:32] can anyone help with with a hard drive that is not listed in /dev ? [05:32] Did you try hooking it up correctly? =) [05:33] systemd0wn: right, try making a startup disk with the "Create a USB disk" option in the livecd instead of unetbootin === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [05:33] Hi people, is this the best place to come for help with a DVB card? [05:33] it shows in proc /scsi/scsi [05:33] o_o; Can you mount it? [05:33] ubottu: sorry some connection problem. i am back [05:33] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:33] Well, actually, let me ask this first... has it ever worked before? [05:33] can you mount it from proc? [05:34] yes the drive works - but is formated in UFS [05:34] ziroday, 1. i have no disks because i'm in out of the country 2. my laptop has no cd drive. [05:34] Oh.... [05:34] systemd0wn: right [05:34] =/ Sorry, Probably can't help. [05:34] I have a ComPro VideoMate T750F DVB Dual-Tuner card, and i can't seem to get it to work with MythTv... Any suggestions? [05:35] #xchat is quiet, I will ask here until a response... is there a way for me to delete the Xchat config file and hope Xchat makes a new one, or manually edit it? the problem is that I probably messed up xchat while editing the config (and enabling window transparency) [05:35] do not care, it can be reformated but i cannot mount it from dev - it is not lsited there (as far as i can tell) [05:35] ziroday, ugh. shouldn't the app just copy everything over the the USB drive and make it bootable? I have a Dell Mini 12. Perhaps that is the problem? [05:35] It says it is using the saa7134 drivers, but it doesnt get picked up by MythTV [05:35] HLM11: most apps create new config files if you delete the old one [05:35] OK, i am restarting wish me luck [05:36] hum... does spca505 support v4l2? [05:36] systemd0wn: don't think so, I've only made usb startup disks with the bundled creator. Sorry [05:36] iaindalton: would you hapen to know the name and location of the Xchat app? [05:36] ubottu: http://imagebin.org/38432 [05:36] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:36] damn. [05:36] HLM11, the config is in ~/.xchat2 ; just close xchat, rename that directory and restart xchat [05:36] HLM11: try .xchat [05:36] when i open any window the title bar is under the [05:36] topbar [05:36] in256: press alt and left click and move the window down [05:36] !rename [05:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about rename [05:36] !files [05:37] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [05:37] I've had that issue before, you have to restart compiz [05:37] in256: does that help? [05:37] nice chat [05:37] Intel CS430 -> gspca_spca505 -> v4l2 -> flash = working. :( [05:37] ziroday: but each time i open a window i have to do that. [05:37] HLM11, something that would work is mv ~/.xchat2 ~/Desktop ; that will move the config dir to your desktop and let xchat make a new one [05:37] DP1, what are you talking about [05:37] ziroday: its a problem [05:38] in256: is gnome-panel set to autohide? [05:38] no [05:38] nickrud: seems a strange place to move it, ~/.xchat2~ seems better [05:38] ziroday: no [05:38] well, more canonical anyway [05:38] in256: try toggle that setting [05:38] is it possible to combine two connections (wireless and ethernet with different isp:s) to get higher performance ? [05:38] iaindalton, he wants to reset xchat's config to default. And appears to just be learning the fhs [05:38] any one see lsof warning ? [05:39] Is anyone free to talk? [05:39] if I delete the .xchat2 directory will problems occur? [05:39] errr, I mean it's not working. [05:39] ziroday: you mean enabe and then disable [05:39] HLM11: don't delete it. Rename it [05:39] nickrud: I know, but why move the file out of its current dir to the Desktop instead of just renaming it? [05:39] tony_, whats up? [05:39] HLM11, no. But usually it's a good idea to move it, so you have the original until you're happy with your new config. [05:39] HLM11: then if you're happy with the results, delete it. [05:39] iaindalton, so he knows where it is [05:40] ziroday: not working [05:40] Intel CS430 webcam -> gspca_spca505 -> v4l2 -> flash = not working. [05:40] I cant get my DVB card to work with MythTv, i've done a bit of searching, but nothing has really helped. [05:40] in256: then I don't know sorry [05:40] need some ideas...... [05:40] If he can't remember that it's in his home dir he won't remember to put it back there :P [05:40] ok [05:40] whats up guys [05:40] iaindalton, been doin' this for a while, I've learned a few safety moves ;p [05:40] any one know what is wrong.. [05:40] hmmm... that was unsuccessful Xchat still refuses to startup [05:40] tony__, sorry im not rlly knowledgable on that [05:41] It's a ComPro VideoMate T750F DVB Dual-Tuner card [05:41] nickrud: I haven't, so I defer to you. [05:41] tony_ you need to get one of the cards listed here - http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_PCI_Cards [05:41] HLM11, try starting xchat in the terminal. You might get a few useful error messages [05:41] fuuu [05:42] martin__, do you have a question tonight? [05:42] And if my card's not listed there, it wont work? [05:42] nickrud: how do I start it in terminal, I try xchat, but that doesnt work, it says its not installed [05:42] HLM11, aha! sudo apt-get install xchat [05:43] not usually [05:43] ... [05:43] Hello, i recently installed rosegarden and when i start it, it mentions a jack server needing to be started prior to the program, im not sure which jack im supposed to install, any help would be appreciated. [05:43] i have a nova 500 t that works ok [05:43] I need help getting Audacity to play with my microphone. Confirmed the mic is ok, and Audacity plays stuff, but I can't get it to record from my mic. I triple checked my Audacity and Volume appelet control/settings, still no joy, ideas? [05:43] when i open any window the title bar is under the topbar. pls help [05:44] illumin8, that's the jack sound server. That's about all I know about jack ;) [05:44] gotobedsleepyhea: It shows up in lspci as using the same driver that is supported on the DVB-T200 that is listed on that page... [05:44] seems like the usb sticks are the best bet [05:44] soo.. has anyone gotten flash to work with a webcam? [05:44] nickrud, do you know where to find the jack sound server? [05:44] Is there a way to log into a server of mine as root, but not allow root to have a password? [05:44] well you might be able to get it to work - but you will probably have to contact the dev of that driver [05:44] gotobedsleepyhea: Kernel driver in use: saa7134 [05:44] ubottu: i found the solution [05:44] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:45] Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is now disabled, to reduce issues experienced by users who accidentally trigger the key combo. Users who do want this function can enable it in their xorg.conf, or via the command dontzap --disable. <--- why would they do that. thats one of the best features, easy to restart x after changes [05:45] illumin8, I _think_ its asking for jackd ; but I've not used rosegarden and am not sure how it hooks up with pulseaudio, which is the sound system ubuntu uses. [05:45] gotobedsleepyhea: I'm not aware of how to do that... [05:45] ubottu: disable and the reenabe the effects. [05:45] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:45] nickrud, thanks much appreciated. [05:45] my LAN cable is plugged in but I can't ping any websites [05:45] HLM11, how is xchat doing? [05:45] ermm... error, I am trying to use xchat-gnome [05:46] !pastebin [05:46] 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) [05:46] MrGoodkat_: question is suited for #ubuntu-offtopic === Frog29 is now known as Mirus [05:46] how can I fix my wired connection ? [05:46] HLM11, oh. xchat plain is muuuch better than xchat-gnome . the -gnome version is very brain dead [05:46] dandu, can you ping yourself? [05:46] try http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Development:_How_to_add_support_for_a_device [05:46] What is your wired configuration? [05:46] hey regard's from w i e n e r [05:46] im now reboot [05:46] byyyy [05:47] n2diy: how do I ping myself? [05:47] thanks gotobedsleepyhea, i'll have to check it out [05:47] do you know any chat application which work in terminal, can connect to google talk. [05:47] hi all [05:47] dandu, 127.0.0.1 [05:48] anyone here use launchpad? [05:48] ch0d3, in a limited sense, yes. [05:48] n2diy: I can ping myself. what next? [05:49] well, i am having trouble pushing my project. i use my launchpad user name for login& registrant, but when executing bzr+ssh i get a "unknown directory" error [05:49] i get a black screen after booting jaunty alpha4, seems like its stuck somewhere, ctrl-alt-f1 doesnt show a terminal either [05:49] dandu, this is a digital world, yes or no, no fuzzy maybe logic! :) [05:49] MrGoodkat_: jaunty in #ubuntu+1 :) [05:49] nickrud: xchat is working wondefully :) === iron_man_ftw is now known as away_man_ftl [05:49] n2diy, are you still needing help? [05:50] illumin8: witth Audacity and my mic, yes. [05:50] bye [05:50] ch0d3, well, my limited sense is much more limited than that :) You could ask in #launchpad ; I think that's the user channel [05:50] n2diy, what version of ubuntu are you running [05:50] n2diy I can't connect to my router, for example [05:50] HLM11, great [05:50] illumin8: 8.04 [05:51] Install Question, trying to boot off a USB drive and X will not start. I get "fatal server error: no screens found giving up". Ideas? [05:51] dandu: do you have any other devices on your router? [05:51] nickrud: how do I select channels to join on server connect? [05:51] dandu, Then the problem is between your box and the router. [05:51] HLM11, xchat->network list, select the network, and then hit the edit button === doppler_ is now known as dopplerdeffect [05:51] n2diy, this may seem like a basic thing to check but could you right click your speaker icon (top right of screen) and open volume controll, then click second tab and see if headset is checkmarked? [05:52] Hi all. Is it possible to set init level 0 from grub? [05:52] iaindalton, you've been using linux for a while? [05:53] nickrud, you were right, it needed the jack QT controll center installed and started. Apprecaite the help. [05:53] Does anyone know a program that will let me grab hex color codes from websites? [05:53] dsnyders, i dont think thats doable in ubuntu. since ubuntu dosent use the runlevels that way like some other disrtos do. [05:53] illumin8, thanks for the feedback. [05:53] n2diy I did ifconfig eth0 up and I got SIOCSIFFLAGS: PERMISSION DENIED therefore I think it's a driver's issue [05:53] illumin8: wow, no tabs in my volume control === kevin__ is now known as uvacav [05:54] anybody getting this error on jaunty ssh buffer_get_ret: trying to get more bytes 4 than in buffer 0 [05:54] buffer_get_int: buffer error [05:54] dandu: did you prefix that command with sudo? [05:54] yeah, i asked in launchpad first, they seem a bit busy i guess [05:54] dsnyders, that's just a halt; why do you need it? [05:54] n2diy, so perhaps its not registering your headset on the system? [05:54] probably solving real launchpad problems ;p [05:54] dandu, does ifconfig see eth0? [05:54] n2diy: I did it with sudo . eth0 is up [05:54] ch0d3, heh. [05:55] n2diy: but I still can't ping the router [05:55] nickrud, Dr_willis. My laptop keeps turning on for some reason. I want to set up a default poweroff, and grub's halt doesnt shut it down. [05:55] illumin8: headset? I'm trying to record audio with a microphone? [05:55] ch0d3, you might try asking in #ubuntu-motu; I'd suggest asking if it's ok to ask first though [05:56] dandu, can you ping eth0? [05:56] n2diy, sorry i assumed it was a boom mic headset [05:56] dsnyders, ah, I think I remember this question from a while back; that was you I'd bet. And no, no idea [05:56] n2diy: I can't [05:56] illumin8: Nope, I wish! [05:56] n2diy: eth0 has no inet addr [05:57] nickrud: what is the ubuntu-motu channel for? [05:57] Mike_92, u trying to sample colors from graphics? or just want the hex codes? [05:57] dsnyders, grubs halt? [05:57] nickrud, It may have been me. I asked a couple of weeks ago. Someone pointed out grub halt to me. [05:57] n2diy, on the same note, are your front mic, and line in volume adjusted and unmuted? [05:57] nickrud: is there a way for me to join multiple servers on startup? [05:57] malfal: Nevermind that, I found a firefox plugin called ColorZilla that meets my needs. Thanks anyway. [05:57] dsnyders: Wake on lan enabled? [05:57] ive neer seen a halt on grub. :) [05:57] Dr_willis, Yes, grub has a halt and a reboot command. [05:57] ch0d3, it's the Masters of the Universe; the guys that handle the packages in universe hang out there. It used to be very informal but I don't know about recently. But for sure they use ppa's [05:58] sounds like some apci-issue to me then. [05:58] Neil_alan, Not sure. Are you thinking that the wireless is waking the laptop? [05:58] nickrud: ah, cool, thanks [05:58] dandu, good, there's your problem, assign eth0 an IP address: "ifconfig eth0 192.168.XXX.XXX, and see if you can ping it. [05:58] seems theres 'halt' and 'halt --no-apm' for grub :) [05:59] just installed ubuntu 8.10 desktop in my compaq x1000 but i need to know how to install driver for radeon 9200 [05:59] HLM11, I'd suggest clicking the 'connect to this network on start' on the edit dialog window for each network you want. But I only connect auto to this one. [05:59] n2diy it doesn't ping :( [05:59] thankyou [06:00] illumin8: Yes, yes, and yes. Can the BIOS control a mother board sound card? Maybe the mic is disabled in BIOS? [06:00] dsnyders: That would be my first guest, wake on lan settings, but I didn't catch the grub halt error, all together. [06:00] *: whats the difference of removing a package and completely removing a package? [06:01] HLM11, removing leaves systemwide config files in place in /etc ; completely remove removes those files. [06:01] HLM11: the latter also removes all settings [06:01] HLM11, one removes SYSTEM setting files [06:01] dandu, ok, does ifconfig report eth0's ip address? Can you ping that? [06:01] n2diy, If you have an older sound card, you may have a slider volume adjustment on the back of the card [06:01] HLM11, dont expect it to remove user setting files. :) people often missunderstand that point [06:01] HLM11: though not the stuff in your home dir, iirc [06:01] n2diy: yeah [06:01] Dr_willis: heh yea [06:01] n2diy, or is it onboard? [06:01] so then I should only select remove if I plan on reinstalling it? [06:01] Neil_alan, I think wake on lan requires a specific MAC address (or whatever passes for a MAC address on a wireless), I'll have to check. Otherwise you'd be waking the whole net. [06:02] illumin8: onboarfd. [06:02] and completely remove if I dont plan on using it in the future whatsoever? [06:02] HLM11, unless you have customized the configs.. it proberly wont matter [06:02] ashok .. hey wassup [06:02] HLM11: yea, basically, if you have made some custom changes to the conf files that you want to keep [06:02] HLM11, that's a good working decision [06:02] any ideas why my mounted devices don't show up on desktop anymore [06:02] HLM11, setting files are normally rather small anyway [06:02] how should i load radeon 9200 driver in ubuntu desktop 8.10 [06:02] Neil_alan, also, there was no specific error. The screen cleared with the word "halt" in the upper left [06:03] dandu, so you can ping eth0's ip address? [06:03] * nickrud always forgets to remove them; aptitude search ~c is always suprising [06:03] nvm got it [06:03] n2diy: can't [06:03] dsnyders: I just know I have heard about a similar problem with other laptops and had to disable the bios setting. [06:03] _Xchat user_: for some reason my nickserv password for identify fails to work... it will not Identify [06:04] HLM11, check it again; works fine for me [06:04] dandu, ok, so your card is dead, misconfigured, or your BIOS is nott seeing it/mirconfigured. [06:04] Neil_alan, *shrug* Won't do no harm I guess. I'll poke around in the bios settings next time I reboot. [06:05] n2diy: how do I check if driver is compiled in the kernel? [06:05] Dr_willis, You said ubuntu doesn't use init. What does it use? [06:06] How can I configure firefox to handle apt: links that are availabl e on the web/ [06:06] !upstart | dsnyders [06:06] dsnyders: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [06:06] dsnyders, it uses Upstart. :) other disrtos are beginning to use it also [06:06] dandu, drivers are called mods in linux. Do you know the driver/mod's name? see if lsmod lists it. [06:06] Dr_willis, Thanks! I'll google now that I have a starting point. [06:07] n2diy: I don't know my card name. how do I find it? [06:07] deleted applications/other/knetattach icon, need the command to reinstall it === squiddy is now known as Guest39270 [06:08] dandu: do you know anything about your card?

G'night all! [06:11] my wireless card is AR242x 802.11 [06:11] dandu, lshw [06:11] its lspci [06:11] * nickrud tries to figure out what help he gave [06:11] Good night. I am logging off too. [06:11] ok my card is atheros communications inc ar242x 802,11abg wireless PCI express [06:11] dandu, or maybe sudo lshw? [06:12] ok i just gave u my card name [06:12] which driver should i use [06:12] nickrud: you gave me an immeasurable amount of help [06:12] madwifi? [06:12] i still don't understand why eht0 ins't working - it was working two weeks ago [06:12] let me reboot and see what happens [06:12] hlm, you're welcome. d snyder was asking about stuff I know little about. I just commented enough to realize he knew more about his question than I did ;) [06:13] dandu: don't reboot that is a Windows solution. [06:13] where does ktorrent keep the .torrent files?

[06:17] okashi: I will attempt to help you the most I can, but I am a linux newbie [06:17] ah [06:17] innociv: if you want to copy all contents, as you probably do, you are looking for "cp -R" [06:17] me too [06:17] lol [06:17] ah [06:17] yeah [06:17] it happens to all of us okashi [06:18] innociv: "man cp" for details. :) [06:18] (hlm): so what do all of us do to fix it? [06:19] Okashi: first quick question: are you plugging it directly into a usb port on the comp, or using a usb hub? i have a cam that refused to work plugged through a usb hub, but works when plugged directly.

[06:21] yeah [06:21] Okashi: hm well in that case... it's something else. :) [06:21] I plugged my mouse into it to check and it's fine [06:22] can anyone help me on sound advice, im new to linux and i have no sound, and im wondering if anyone has any advice [06:22] magelomaniac: is it onboard sound o soundcard? [06:22] or* [06:22] onboard [06:23] megalomaniac: have you looked to see if its supported? [06:23] where do i check? [06:23] ive tried many things [06:23] * Okashi sighs [06:23] how can I access my NTFS drives in ubuntu ? I already installed and ran ntfs-config [06:24] maslen, internal? or external? [06:24] internal [06:24] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/ has all the support lists you need mealomaniac [06:24] megalomaniac* [06:24] I followed the instructions at :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G, but I still can't access them [06:24] i will check [06:24] maslen, you could add a proper line to the /etc/fstab file. and they should work.. whats the line you are using? [06:25] i messed up when making my enternal hard drive auto authenicate. i must have typed the pass wrong. where can i chagne that? cause now everytime i try to mount it fails. [06:25] hi all, ubuntu wanted new nvidia drivers, downloaded but now have no gui, can login via cmd prompt, but now no Gnome, anyone know a fix? [06:25] AlabamaHit: I will look this up please hole.. [06:25] hlm, thank you :) [06:25] hold* [06:25] Dr_willis: do you know what I should do ? I didn't modify any files manually, just used the "automatic" setting [06:26] yeah its supported [06:26] maslen, thats for external removeable media i belive.. an dif you had a exuisting line in /etc/fstab for the internal - it would of 'fixed' them also.. [06:26] Dr_willis: I openedd fstab, and it has the XP and Vista partitions listed [06:27] maslen, You m ay want to pastebin the fstab file then for the channel to see [06:27] it had /dev/sda/media/XP ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en ..... [06:27] Dr_willis: I can't, I'm running on two different computers [06:27] maslen, its not got the right options.. you need more then just 'defaults' [06:27] oh [06:28] i think it needs a uid=1000 for yoru first user.. or some similer option for all users. === elpargo|away is now known as elpargo [06:28] I was able to access it with a BT3 live cd, so I assumed defaults would work here also [06:28] yeah its supported [06:30] w21 [06:30] grr [06:30] maslen, the live cd may been using different fstab./settings :) [06:30] maslen, or running as root user. [06:30] fawaka my brothers [06:31] Dr_willis: so how do you reccomend that I fix it (seeing as that computer can't join this channel) [06:31] actually .... let me see....... [06:31] maslen, read up on ntfs-3g and find some example lines - the ntfs-3g homepage also has the faq. and the ubuntu docs should mentuion the correct options [06:32] I have an old machine that I want to use as a music server. I want it to boot fast and only really run a media player and possibly something to rip cds...any suggestions on how to set it up? [06:33] Not to be a pain in the Arctic Silver 5, but would somebody here care to refer me to a general tech support channel kind of like this (large base, etc)? [06:33] !fstab [06:33] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [06:33] !partitions [06:33] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QtParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [06:33] !launchpad [06:33] Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [06:34] ok, im in here [06:34] !swap [06:34] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [06:34] hello, i just created a new install of ubuntu installed on hd0,2 (hd0 is just ntfs data) and installed grub to the MBR, but when i try to boot i get a disk boot failrue from my bios or a disk read error from SGD if i try to boot from mbr [06:35] hello everyone [06:35] Or a grub Read error [06:35] my setup is: Internet -> Vista Laptop --ICS Enabled-> Ubuntu 8.10 Server ; is there any reason why Vista doesn't assign the Server an ip like it does when i connect the desktop version of ubuntu? [06:35] heh, ubottu is a bit wrong there... swap is actually used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system /slower/. [06:36] does anyone know what is the weakness of this code in C programming? -> system("id"); [06:36] Dr_willis: here's the pastebin http://codepad.org/tezjIa36 [06:36] Not to be a pain in the Arctic Silver 5, but would somebody here care to refer me to a general tech support channel kind of like this (large base, etc)? I'd ask here, but its not Ubuntu specific [06:37] welll.. what type of issue is it ? [06:37] is it linux? [06:37] potwak: just that system calls are platform dependent, and are a bit slow [06:37] Its more general hardware stuff [06:37] how do i go onto newsgroups??? (news://....)? [06:37] maslen, mine are similer to --> /dev/sda5 /media/XP ntfs-3g defaults,umask=0,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 [06:37] thanks.

A real limitation of unix/linux [07:10] http://pastebin.com/m147aaf49 - that is my fstab. I have never seen drives specified by UUID, not even sure what that identifier is [07:10] If I was to install 9.04 from a CD, and resize my / partition, but that means shrinking my /home partition, will that risk damaging my data? [07:10] can anyone tell me how I determine the UUID for a drive [07:10] I have used less than 3gbs, and have over 230 available. [07:11] !uuid | cyrus__ [07:11] cyrus__: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [07:11] cyrus__, also, ls /dev/disk/* shows all the alternative paths [07:12] nickrud: or maybe a limitation of gnome? i'm sure from shell it's possible to do without logout/login. :) [07:12] ty [07:12] nanotube, nope. [07:12] nanotube, try it in a console even :) [07:12] nickrud: won't "bash --login" pretty much set you up?

[07:13] chu_: All resizing operations risk damaging your data to some degree, and you should always backup before doing them. That said, gparted and the Ubuntu installer will refuse to resize your partition to a size if they detect it'll cause problems. [07:14] kernel, middle button, and move the mouse. You should see a cube rotating on the screen, with the desktops as the faces [07:14] what is the /usr dir used for? [07:14] you mean middle mouse button, i've touchpad [07:15] Files which are shared by all user? [07:15] nanotube, not sure, but I don't believe so. I've had several consoles open (when I had a console only system) and had to log them all out [07:15] invisibleninja: essentially, yes [07:15] nickrud: hmm... well, i learn something new every day. :) [07:15] Hey guys [07:15] Does anyone know how to permanently disable mouse acceleration? [07:15] so it's a good idea to keep my mp3 files there, I believe? [07:16] !fshs [07:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about fshs [07:16] will gparted let me delete the windows install i have on /dev/sda2 and let me resize it so my ubntu is 1 big partition again ? [07:16] Can anyone recommend a program that can tell me how much I have downloaded over a month and stuff?

[07:24] no worries [07:24] bemuse, they really need to standardise the descriptions of programs or something [07:24] yeah [07:24] i get confused too :( [07:25] If you get desperate, you could always just use wine [07:25] nickrud - I ran checked out the UUID by listing /dev/disk/by-uuid. It shows for instance my boot ID is /dev/sdb1. The fstab has the correct UUID but when I type mount to see what is mounted it says /dev/sda1 is mounted at /boot [07:25] and use netlimiter [07:25] Whenever I try to run anything using dpkg I get the error "E: could not open /var/lib/dpkg/status" because the file isn't there. Anyone able to tell me how to fix this? [07:25] thats what i wouldve used on windows [07:25] cyrus__, sudo blkid will relate sd* to uuid clearly [07:25] bemuse, hmm it seems to be only for windows, I meant Ubuntu [07:26] anyone know how to download wordbiz using ubuntu [07:26] yeah, you could run it through wine :P [07:26] sunset, wordbiz is a windows program; you might be able to run it under wine [07:26] but i think Down2Home should suit your needs [07:26] ty nickrud [07:26] I'm having an issue with sound and I just went to the troubleshooting section on Ubuntu website and I can't seem to get it to work I was working fine earlier and now it won't even work [07:26] nickrud - tried that to. It shows the UUID of the boot as /dev/sdb1 (and that is what I have in the fstab) but mount reports that /dev/sda1 is mounted at /boot [07:26] I will try that [07:26] If I decide to make a partition for ... stuff is there a way I can convert that to free data under the ubuntu partition un the future? [07:27] in [07:27] and how can I do that? [07:27] nickrub - oh, I see why, the UUID reported for both sda1 and sdb1 is the same [07:27] cyrus__, could you put the output of sudo fdisk -l , ls /dev/disk/by* , sudo blkid and your fstab on http://paste.ubuntu.com ? I'm not sure exactly what you're saying (and the issue) so let's get a common base to speak from [07:27] as is the UUID for sda2 and sdb2 [07:27] cyrus__, ah! did you do a dd [07:27] nickrud - yes === Guest61731 is now known as baddog === baddog is now known as baddog[bbs] [07:28] I'm having an issue with sound and I just went to the troubleshooting section on Ubuntu website and I can't seem to get it to work I was working fine earlier and now it won't even work [07:28] do any of you use MS Reader on ubuntu? [07:28] cyrus__, that's the problem, you need to give them new uuid's. The uuid is written to the partition metadata. a sec [07:28] nickrud - ok, thanks [07:28] hi there [07:28] ookz: what type of soundcard do you have? onboard, pci, or USB? [07:29] is there any text editor which can automatically indent the source code ? [07:29] hlm onboard [07:30] do any of you use MS Reader on ubuntu? [07:30] hlm: it's a AC'97 [07:30] cyrus__, sudo tune2fs -U time /dev/ to give it a new uuid. You should read man tune2fs before you do this to be sure you understand what you are doing [07:31] rww, When you say backup, is there a special way of backing up, or just zip my current /home partition? [07:31] nickrud - ok, was just reading up on that. Thanks [07:31] chu_: That'll work. There are more complicated options, but zipping up would work fine. [07:32] silv3r_m001: A bunch of them can do that. There's an option in Gedit to do it, for example. [07:32] rww: where ? [07:33] dunno [07:33] silv3r_m001: I'm not using an Ubuntu computer right now, but it's in the gedit preferences somewhere. [07:33] This whole sound thing is pissing me off [07:33] And, will my current gnome session be saved to /home? What happens when I install 9.04 in terms of my gnome session? [07:33] Will I lose all current settings? [07:33] rww: ok , let me check [07:33] I'm about to break this computer [07:34] culebra [07:34] Just noticed, rww, are you on a gnu/linux machine? [07:34] chu_: not right now, no [07:34] alrigh [07:34] Does anyone think that installation of codecs would mess my soundcard drivers up? [07:35] ookz: no way [07:35] ookz: I dont believe so, it didnt do it for me [07:35] Cause it was working fine now its jacked up [07:36] that doesn't really explain what's happened. [07:36] hey, does anyone know how to turn off the screen in intrepid besides closing the lid? [07:37] wow [07:37] Um [07:37] what? [07:37] Naw this soundcard shit is crazy [07:37] The file /var/lib/dpkg/status seems to have disappeared leaving me unable to install or update anything. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? [07:37] I'ma bout to nuke this notebook [07:38] I spent all day with it working fine [07:38] Now stupid crap goes down [07:38] and then? [07:38] ookz: the biggest problem with linux, aside from the bloat, is that the hardware often doesn't work (you can thank software patents for that) [07:38] I installed the codecs [07:38] how do i extract split 7z archives together to get the original file? [07:38] ookz: and you're using what program with the codecs? [07:38] !pastebin [07:38] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [07:39] kohlrak: you have to admit it has gotten quite a bit better [07:39] http://paste-it.net/public/uec76ed/ any idea why i cant remove these files ? [07:39] lunakrist: did you try reconfiguring dpkg? [07:39] Well screw them software assholes [07:39] kohlrak: that's not as true as it was 10 years ago [07:39] i'm not sure if that will help [07:39] kohlrak, there's bloat? :/ [07:39] !language | ookz [07:39] ookz: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [07:39] IMO hardware=pay software=free [07:39] opps [07:39] sorry [07:39] that's the second time. [07:40] chaosrl: http://www.shallowsky.com/linux/x-screen-blanking.html [07:40] jon23d: i agree, it has been. All the sudden the ATI proprietary drivers now work better (probably from threats and more opening) and no longer need ndis, however right now i'm having a hardware issue myself [07:40] ookz: perhaps you need to go AFK and chill out for awhile, then come back to the problem later. [07:40] chaosrl: you mean dpkg --configure? Just craps out saying "error could not read /var/lib/dpkg/status" [07:40] kohlrak: I just started paying attention, what is it? [07:40] nogagplz: you don't even want to know... The boot process is plastered with unnecessary retries for things... and i don't even want to begin on gcc (and how it always static links and how the stripper does a bad job of stripping) [07:40] I blame being mad and a mix of alcohol, I'm sorry [07:41] ookz: it's only a laptop, it's not really broken, the problem can be solved, but are you of a state of mind that's patient enough to make it happen without losing your head right now? [07:41] nanotube: is there any way to kill the backlight instead of just blanking the screen? [07:41] lunakrist: that's what i meant, let me see if i can find something else [07:41] choasrl: How should i be reconfiguring dpkg? [07:41] chaosrl: thanks [07:41] Gnea yes I can fix it I'm just a tad bit mad right now [07:41] jon23d: i don't actually ask for any help really, aside from alternatives to a program. Google pointed out to me that my bcm43xx is not exactly friendly [07:41] ookz: go get some rest then and try again later, we'll be here :) [07:42] kohlrak: okay, wireless has been a nightmare at time [07:42] I've been at this for 4 hours now, google has failed me for the first time [07:42] kohlrak: for your broadcom card, just use bfw-cutter [07:42] i have no problems using it with mine [07:42] I have several wireless devices that I have never been able to get to work completely [07:43] MK13: never heard of it. Will it make monitor mode work? =p [07:43] hi all [07:43] anyone know why i can't telnet into my server.. [07:43] ookz: then I definitely recommend some AFK time. it'll give you time to sort things out on your own and make it easier to solve the problem. [07:43] kohlrak: do you mean setting it to master mode? [07:43] lunakrist: is there a file called [07:43] Well before I crash out can someone hook me up with the command to find out what soundcard is set to default [07:43] jon23d: i know. regular usage here is working fine, just trying to hack my own wireless network for kicks and finding out i'm having some hardware trouble with my laptop [07:43] lunakrist: /var/lib/dpkg/status-old [07:43] ookz: plus, you'll be, hopefully, less likely to offend people in the process [07:43] chaosrl: nope [07:43] mk13: no, monitor mode. For things like sniffing... [07:44] hey guys I did this once but nothing seems to work now.. how do I disable recent documents? [07:44] chaosrl: yes, it's in that link i sent you. "vbetool dpms off" [07:44] ookz: cat /proc/asound/cards whatever '0' is set to [07:44] mk13: to make kismet happy XD [07:44] Gena sorry too much time in the military [07:44] kohlrak, I do want to know. I've built my own Linux system from scratch, and there's no bloat anywhere from what I can see, so perhaps you can inform me of what to keep an eye out for [07:44] kohlrak: desktop w/ wireless has never been an issue, laptops are a whole different ball of wax though [07:44] chaosrl: I don't see any form of the status file in /var/lib/dpkg . Closest I see is statoverride and statoverride.old. Do you know if that would be related? [07:44] I'll keep it cool, but I need to have this fixed asap [07:45] is there any text editor which can indent automatically and intelligently (rather than rigidly by shifting forward or backward) [07:45] ookz: it's not a problem, but we do have standards here. [07:45] is there a gui for 8.10 server version??? Any help would be appreciated. [07:45] lunakrist: what about in /var/backups? you may have a dpkg.status.* file in that folder? [07:45] silv3r_m001: emacs works well for me [07:45] kohlrak: well, I dunno about sniffing, never tried it with ubuntu [07:45] nogagplz: i havn't looked myself so i don't know what file, but i've seen some copy and pasted code involving a huge nested if just to check for certain hardware on startup (where 2 or 3 would be just fine) [07:45] I blame my laziness I didn't read the MOTD [07:45] nanotube: thanks, sorry about that. totally missed it! [07:45] timbo__, that's rather pointless [07:45] ookz: did you get that command alright? [07:46] chaosrl: I do. Can I just unzip the latest an cp it to var/lib/dpkg and hope for the best? [07:46] trying to get remotely into my server but cannot access it.. Was hoping for somehting a little more graphical as it has been a few years between Linux's.. :) [07:46] mk13: i'm going to try this "backtrack" boot cd to see if it's easier with that, since things are supposedly autoconfigured for me there [07:46] Gnea: wait one I'm trying to see it [07:46] kohlrak, and is this huge nested if specific to Ubuntu, or across the board [07:47] ookz: cat /proc/asound/cards whatever '0' is set to [07:47] lunakrist: hold on a sec, i've actually not done this before, i wanna just make sure [07:47] kohlrak: i've used backtrack 3, i don't use it much anymore though i still have a live USB jump drive [07:47] nogagplz: i don't know where he pulled it from. I'm guessing Ubuntu, but it could be most linux distros, however since linux is open source, we can't assume all are like that [07:47] could anyone help with an onboard sound card not working? [07:47] * nogagplz sighs [07:47] mk13: did it work with your broadcom? [07:47] !sound | megalomaniac [07:47] megalomaniac: 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).

[07:48] i'll try it with the other laptop first, then i'll try it with this one XD [07:49] kohlrak: tell me if it works [07:49] lunakrist: i would go ahead and try? if not, there is a script here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474587) that can rebuild (albeit imperfectly) your status file [07:49] Gnea: I was getting sound at bootup, now nothing. I also was trying to stream some internet radio and I can't seem to get that to work either [07:50] mk13: supposedly, updating to 8.10 ibex and blacklisting 2 drivers works... however...

Didn't have to blacklist anything [07:51] Gnea: I have nothing at bootup: [07:51] mk13, i'll try that right now [07:51] ookz: do you have a surface that you can set your bottle/glass down on that can make some noise without breaking it? :) [07:52] just use "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter" and it will also get the firmware for you [07:52] ookz: okay - have you tried running alsamixer in a terminal? [07:52] mk13: what's in that package anyway? [07:52] Gnea: It's been down for a good 45 minutes now [07:52] Gnea: I did that a while ago [07:52] kohlrak: the driver and it gets the firmware [07:52] : It was on the Trobleshooting page [07:52] mk13: that's weird... really, the card works just fine except for monitor mode. I'm using it right now actually XD [07:52] ookz: okay, and is it giving you the mixer for just pulseaudio or all of the options for your soundcard?

[07:54] ookz: I will rephrase the question, just to be safe: when you run alsamixer, on the upper-left of the mixer, what does it say after Card: [07:54] I recently discovered that not all applications installed with apt-get show up in applications menu, is there a way to see all installed apps? [07:55] Gnea: Wait one I have to redo terminal [07:55] mk13: well, i need the monitor mode to do what i'm trying to do, hopefully this'll work so i don't have to lug a cd around when i may actually need to hack a wlan for emergency purposes [07:55] ookz: sure [07:55] illumin8: what do you mean by all installed apps?

[08:24] jsquared: that's not 100% true [08:24] Gnea: I looked it up on support.gateway and it seems like my pc doesn't have a mute key [08:24] gnome can still be installed with out gdm working [08:24] jsquared, I'm trying to boot the install cd now. It cant find gdm or startx [08:24] ookz: we're on the same page lol [08:25] Gnea: lulz beat me to it [08:25] Tr3y-: that's true. but for practical purposes, from a clean install, it's usually the case [08:25] Gnea: so it works fine, I install codecs and it dies [08:25] systemd0wn: er, it doesn't see startx either? [08:25] So when i switch to compiz with the fusion icon my whole screen goes white and i have to restart x....does anyone know what might be wrong? [08:25] Gnea: what else could it br [08:25] systemd0wn: fresh install? [08:25] jsquared, ya, it just leaves me at a prompt that says "initramfs".

[08:28] systemd0wn: anything error when you burned the iso? [08:28] jsquared, i got the CD to boot in another computer, which is when i made the bootable USB drive for my mini.

They say nothing is wrong. [08:29] jsquared, "/bin/sh: startx: not found" [08:29] ookz: lol, that's a pretty good background :) [08:29] wow, it's not even starting bash?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [08:30] Tr3y-, haha... actually i was installing gentoo first. :P That was taking to long and i gave up for now. [08:30] Gnea: wait one [08:30] ookz: o.O !!! pastebin was the greatest thing ever created [08:30] ookz: you got it [08:31] Tr3y: I r noob [08:31] question: so i was previously dual booting xp and ubuntu, but now i would like to delete xp and recover the space. how do i repartition the drive so i can use the space in ubuntu [08:31] systed0wn: lol yea that one is time consuming [08:31] jsquared, "/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin" [08:31] dreadnaught11: gparted === patrick is now known as Guest67797 [08:31] Tr3y-, the last time i used gentoo was like 2005 so it has been a while. [08:32] okay [08:32] ready [08:32] ffmpeg codecs [08:32] systemd0wn: I actually used FreeBSD for like 6 years and decided I wanted something different more stable of a desktop for wine / wow lol [08:33] ookz: now select the list and middle-click on the pastebin site to paste it, then submit. then just paste the URL it gives you here. [08:33] Tr3y-: what happens if you type cat /etc/*-release? [08:33] Tried gentoo didn't wanna spend the time on it so picked ubuntu great desktop distro imo [08:33] * prince_jammys has just written another 'pastebinit' [08:33] dreadnaught11: cbilljones already told you : use gparted from live disc, delete windows and resize ubuntu [08:33] jsquared: was that really inteded for systemd0wn? [08:33] haha [08:33] er [08:33] oops, sorry [08:33] yes [08:34] jsquared, "/etc/*-release: no such file or dir [08:34] " [08:34] Goodmorning folks. last night i disconnected the monitor from my laptop, now when i plugged it back in this morning it wont come on/up, i have the reselution set to 3840x1200, i tried to switch to 1920x1200 and back but it's still black. [08:34] systemd0wn: how about cat /proc/version? [08:34] Gnea: wait one [08:34] Dreamglider: did you plug in the monitor when the laptop was already running or from boot? [08:35] jsquared, linux version 2.6.27-7-generic (buildd@rothera) (gcc version 4.3.2 (ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu10) ) [08:35] okay [08:35] looks normal. at least you're not running Gentoo :P [08:35] jsquared, haha. [08:35] >_< [08:36] ichbinesderelch: the laptop was on(and displaying) when i unplugged the monitor. i did not shut down the laptop. [08:36] can you sudo apt-get gnome and try running that? gnome is supposed to be part of the livecd [08:36] (iirc) [08:36] Dreamglider: maybe try to restart X [08:37] systemd0wn: you can't start X from the live CD? [08:37] the only thing I can think of is that you downloaded a LiveCD for the server install [08:37] it usually comes up when i plug it in again, it's just wired it didnt turn on today [08:37] Gnea: http://paste.ubuntu.com/118355/ [08:37] jsquared, hrm. i can try, dont know if eth0 is there but i will check. [08:37] prince_jammys: or gdm apparently [08:37] systemd0wn: oh =/ [08:37] hey here's a thing [08:37] what happens if you install gnome on a server install? [08:37] prince_jammys, correct. i am at a busybox prompt. (initramfs) [08:38] yownanymous, you get to use gnome just like it was a desktop. nothing bad happens. [08:38] systemd0wn: well can you still control the server software from there? [08:38] yownanymous: Ubuntu Devs bust your door down actually for tinkering with an open source system! [08:38] yownanymous: the server installs aren't much different from the desktop ones. mostly they just have different packages and different default configurations [08:38] Tr3y-: :D [08:38] I see [08:38] jsquared, ya that isn't going to work. [08:39] so why don't they just deliver the server images with a GUI? [08:39] systemd0wn: d'oh. and you said this livecd booted on a different machine into gnome, no sweat? [08:39] yownanymous: it's smaller, lower footprint [08:39] Gnea: http://paste.ubuntu.com/118355/ [08:39] yownanymous: x / gnome take up resources you don't want to be used in a server setting [08:39] jsquared: Ah, is it morally wrong therefore to install a GUI? :P [08:39] yownanymous: typically if you're using a server you want to start from ground zero and build up, so that you only take the pieces you need [08:39] ah I see [08:39] thing iss [08:40] ookz: when you installed the codecs, do you recall how many packages were installed at the time? [08:40] jsquared, :) ya. I said that i booted the cd in a computer (with a cdrom) and created my bootable USB drive. I get the install menu but when i make my selection it doesnt boot propersly (obviously) [08:40] what would you actually use a server for? [08:40] e.g., no sense in opening ftp up if you're not going to be an ftp server [08:40] 3 [08:40] hey there, I'm running Xubuntu, I have a Canon MP610 printer/scanner, printer working okay, scanner not being recognized, don't know what to do next [08:40] homebrewcider: probably a driver problem? [08:40] systemd0wn: oh, wait. so you never got to the desktop before? [08:40] yownanymous: webserver, counterstrike server, router, email server, file server, w/e [08:40] anon here now [08:40] systemd0wn: what are you trying to boot with now USB or CD [08:40] * ookz amazed [08:41] Tr3y-: Can you convert an old computer to a server? [08:41] jsquared: thanks it is working now [08:41] jsquared, Not on the dell mini. [08:41] provided you have the equipment [08:41] parveenks: hooray! :) [08:41] yowanymous: yea... [08:41] Tr3y-, with the usb stick [08:41] :) [08:41] sweet [08:41] systemd0wn: try the cd... [08:41] might try it with the dead system over there then [08:41] could use a server [08:41] Tr3y-, i will right now. gotta go grab a external cdrom. brb. [08:41] parveenks: yeah, most of the time crufty config is hiding in gconf or a dot-directory in your home dir [08:41] ookz: ok, now: sudo apt-get remove libavcodec51 libspeex1 libwavpack1 [08:41] systemd0wn: perhaps you should try the alternate cd [08:41] parveenks: deleting /usr/share stuff is overkill [08:41] Gnea: wait one [08:41] yownanymous: its all about the software your using, if the PC is old enough go with a very lightweight distro though imo [08:42] Yes anyway to restore it back [08:42] Tr3y-: Actually it's got alright specs but I think it has a bit of an outdated BIOS [08:42] hi there [08:42] how is it going you all? [08:42] parveenks: I bz2 all my dot-directories every 4 hours for the last 60 days [08:42] good to be able to roll back when needed :) [08:42] systemd0wn: you can probably download, burn and try the alternate cd in the time it will take you to debug this [08:43] who do i add volume control to the panel ? [08:43] I do wish Ubuntu had a Time-Machine/System-Restore-like ability, though [08:43] prince_jammys, ummm.. prolly not. :) i am on a shitty satcom connection. [08:43] Gnea: says cannot find libavcodec51 [08:43] systemd0wn: it sounds so much more James Bondish when you say satcom [08:43] is there any news on the development of the nfs and ext4 ? what will be the next file system for ubuntu, any insights? [08:44] ookz: the others are removed? [08:44] jsquared, oh it is. Did i mention i'm in afghanistan right now? [08:44] Gnea: yes [08:44] systemd0wn: branch? [08:44] Dreamglider, there should be an volume on the pane, if not right klick and add to panel [08:44] Tr3y-, Marines [08:44] Dreamglider: right click on panel - add to panel - volume control [08:44] unimatrix9, still ext3 [08:44] systemd0wn: tbh I would've assumed Air Force [08:44] ookz: okay, try the sound again [08:44] Tr3y-, haha. fuck that. [08:44] Gnea: Nothing [08:44] velko , really? hmm, i thought they where working on an new files system [08:44] :) [08:44] systemd0wn: Meh I hear we get it a little better over there :-P [08:45] unimatrix9: ext4 you mean? [08:45] systemd0wn: you'd figure all the money we're not spending for your flak jackets and adequate protection would at least go towards a non-shitty comm link :P [08:45] bfs, or nfs , or something like that [08:45] quibbler: tks, i didnt see the vol icon the first time [08:45] Tr3y-, i can't argue with that. [08:46] unimatrix9, btrfs ist still experimental. you're right, they will use ext4. but all this is off topic here [08:46] jsquared: your s6 must blow then [08:46] jsquared, hahahaha. We are lucking to get toliet paper where i am. It cracks me up. Sometimes our comm goes down because they don't get us fuel in time. [08:46] yes i see [08:46] systemd0wn: any error messages? [08:46] but interesting non the less === away_man_ftl is now known as iron_man_ftw [08:46] systemd0wn: what base? [08:46] systemd0wn: nvm you prolly shouldn't say [08:46] prince_jammys, Tr3y-, jsquared, Ya i loaded the CD and it gives me the same thing. Must be a driver issue. [08:47] systemd0wn: how old is the laptop! [08:47] ookz: ok, type 'id' and press enter - do you see the 'audio' group listed there someplace? [08:47] Tr3y-, ya. I can tell you i am with 3rd Battalion 8th Marines.... you could prolly google. :) [08:47] systemd0wn: well, consider the alternate cd whenever you have the time. that'll probably work. [08:47] Tr3y-, BRAND NEW! it is a dell mini 12 [08:47] systemd0wn: that's possible. how old/new/bizarre is your video card? [08:47] still doesn't make sense that you wouldn't at least have the VGA drivers available [08:47] systemd0wn, just so you know, this channel gets logged and posted to the net [08:47] systemd0wn: OPSEC MAN!!!!!!! that shouldn't be on google lol [08:47] i did a little google and someone mentions using Ubuntu Netbook Remix [08:47] systemd0wn: did ubuntu complete installation? [08:48] I mean, hell, I installed Ubuntu on my Blackberry =P [08:48] Nickrud, thats fine. [08:48] Gnea: No I don't see it [08:48] didn't work super-well though [08:48] there is easy peasy, wich is for netbooks too [08:48] ookz: what about pulse, pulse-access or pulse-rt? [08:48] prince_jammys, no i can't even get to the live desktop to install [08:49] Gnea: negitive [08:49] systemdOwn, how far does the installer get? [08:49] ookz: paydirt. now: System->Administration->Users & Groups [08:49] unimatrix9, it starts loading with the spiffy GUI loading bar and then it drops me to the busybox shell [08:49] systemd0wn: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765195 [08:50] systemdOwn , did you check the cdrom for errors? [08:50] Gnea: k [08:50] unimatrix9, yes [08:50] ookz: then, unlock it [08:50] Gnea: k [08:50] systemdOwn , and tried napic etc options? [08:50] Tr3y-, i am looking into the bios right now. thanks [08:51] ookz: select your username, then 'properties' [08:51] unimatrix9, no i havent yet. good idea [08:51] k [08:51] ookz: 'user privelages' tab, make sure 'Use audio devices' is checked [08:52] Tr3y-, that isn't going to work. i don't have the option to change my sata mode [08:52] Gnea: k wasn't checked [08:52] ookz: alright, go ahead and close out of it all, then logout/login [08:52] okay brb [08:54] systemd0wn: dunno what to tell you :-/ all I know right now is it's 3am in texas good luck out there and good night [08:54] Tr3y-, haha. thanks. have a good night. [08:54] Gnea: nothing [08:55] systemdOwn , have a try at noapic http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-148761.html [08:55] systemdOwn , is the pc you run an desktop? [08:56] ALSA lib ../../../src/pcm/pcm.c:2156:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Cannot open shared library /usr/lib32/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_bluetooth.so [08:56] what brand is it? [08:56] help ? [08:56] Gnea: I think ubuntu doesn't like me [08:56] unimatrix9, i am trying to install on a Dell mini 12 [08:56] ok [08:56] systemd0wn: I run a mini 9, it's similar [08:56] ookz: hrm [08:56] i will try noapic in a sec. [08:57] hello, I need to resize a logical LVM volume with ext3 on it... seems that you need to use resize2fs (2??) to shrink the ext3 volume, and then lvreduce teh volume to that size... is that right? [08:58] Gnea: yeah i think i need to call it quits tonight [08:58] unimatrix9, ok, this time i booted off the cd an i at leat get a bash prompt [08:59] Gnea: i'ma hard boot and see if that helps but if not then night night for gonzo [08:59] unimatrix9 (still haven't tried noapic) [08:59] Gnea: Thanks for all the help [08:59] Gnea: snd time [08:59] systemdOwn , instead of noapic "use all_generic_ide" [08:59] ookz: alright [09:00] systemdOwn , read the about it here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014534&page=2 [09:00] unimatrix9, i 'startx' and it says "VESA(0): No valid Modes Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration' [09:00] yes i know, just read about it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014534&page=2 [09:01] k [09:01] you can take a look there too , i think its the same problem [09:01] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014534&page=2 [09:01] CQ, i don't know about the procedure but it is very likely that you have to use resize2fs. ext3 is ext2 with journaling. you can create ext3 either with mkfs.ext3 or with "mkfs.ext2 -j". and this is true for other ext-commands too [09:02] systemdOwn , i have to go, hope you get it working, good luck, see you around! [09:02] unimatrix9, thanks for the help. [09:02] np [09:02] :) [09:02] Gnea: Seems like hardboot worked [09:03] ookz: excellent! [09:03] ookz: try reinstalling the codec :) [09:03] Gnea: I wish I knew what caused the whole issue [09:04] ookz: sometimes new users aren't always added to the audio group, among other groups [09:04] Gnea: and what would cause this? [09:05] damn it [09:05] ookz: any number of things. i've seen the system not get sound setup before the first user is added during the installation phase - without a soundcard, the system goes "oh, well if there's no sound, then we can't add them to the audio group" [09:05] skype keeps muting my microphone [09:05] what the hell [09:06] phantomcircuit_: no need for the language [09:06] Gnea: But what caused my sound to drop for no reason then start up for no reason? [09:06] phantomcircuit_: have you looked at the settings? there is a "let skype change my mixer settings"-checkbox somewhere [09:06] Is there a meta-package which installs proprietary packages like flash and java? [09:06] Slart, that is not checked [09:07] kingsley: I don't think there is one that does all the proprietary stuff.. but there are separate packages for flash and such === Chipmonk is now known as Gary [09:07] !flash | kingsley [09:07] kingsley: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [09:07] ookz: I have no idea [09:07] !java | kingsley [09:07] kingsley: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [09:07] Gnea: lulz, well thanks anyways for the help [09:07] ookz: cheers :) [09:07] Gnea: I hope to see you around then [09:07] which SATA mode should i use ATA, AHCI, IRRT? [09:08] Gnea: Later [09:08] phantomcircuit_: how did you come to the conclusion that it was skype that changed the volume? [09:11] I have a bootable that I want to backup or create ISO image of , then be able to restore it back to flash. any good way to do this? [09:12] http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/ [09:12] RtApiAlsa: callback thread error (RtApiAlsa: audio read error for device (pulse): Input/output error.) ... closing stream. [09:12] i keep getting that [09:13] what is a recommended native document processor for ubuntu? [09:13] phantomcircuit_: mm... I get that too if I use pulseaudio.. there is a launchpad bug report about it [09:13] phantomcircuit_: I think it's a bug in skype.. or pulse.. [09:14] lianimator1: latex? [09:14] I'm having issues with my Atheros AR9280 wifi chipset on my laptop. It's there, but I can't see any wireless networks, or connect to one when I specify SSID. I'm running 32bit. [09:14] Slart: sure. never used it but I could try. [09:14] Slart, probably both >.> [09:14] lianimator1: what are you trying to do? [09:15] Slart: I want a program to write school reports. without worrying about all the formatting details.. and I need to include images and caption [09:15] any application to monitory the curent internet usage (amount downloaded and uploaded this session) [09:16] int256: vnstat === lianimator1 is now known as lianimator [09:16] lianimator1: well.. take a look a lyx.. or openoffice.. openoffice would be more familiar if you're used to ms office [09:16] m [09:16] dmsuperman: how to install [09:17] int256: lots.. nload in a terminal will do it.. there are numerous small apps for the gnome panel or screenlets that does it too [09:17] Slart: OO is quite ugly in my opinion. lyx is native to KDE right? [09:17] lianimator: I think lyx is a gtk app... [09:17] lianimator: I've only used it in gnome myself [09:17] OO is just utterly wretched [09:17] lianimator: ugly gui or ugly output? [09:18] Slart: I found it in Add/Remove. there's a heart icon and the K icon. [09:18] OO is ugly and KDE looks nice? C'mon, lianimator [09:18] Slart: both [09:18] add poor usability to the list as well [09:18] I want to install ubuntu on an external hard drive, but my laptop's cd drive is broken. How can I do that? [09:18] ploom: I don't use KDE, so I don't know. [09:18] I'm having issues with my Atheros AR9280 wifi chipset on my laptop. It's there, but I can't see any wireless networks, or connect to one when I specify SSID. I'm running 32bit. [09:18] lianimator: hmm.. I don't think it's very KDE-centric.. afaik.. it works nicely on gnome anyways [09:18] Athenon: use a LiveUSB [09:18] well, assuming your USB ports aren't broken too :) [09:19] Slart: okay, lyx it is [09:19] Athenon: what do you have installed right now? [09:19] hii my Cisco material does not work with ubuntu even when i installed Wine [09:19] jsquared: XP Pro [09:20] zeralda, what material from cisco? [09:20] !doesntwork | zeralda [09:20] zeralda: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [09:20] Athenon: use https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent to make a USB drive that can boot Ubuntu (like a CD). then install it as normal [09:20] lianimator, but what's better than OO?? [09:20] Athenon: see section 6 there in particular [09:21] ploom: that's what I'm looking for. ;) [09:21] ok i can see it in wine applecatin but when i click on it it doesnot open ...it just make start opening and then stop [09:21] jsquared: sounds good. thanks. [09:21] Athenon: basically, just download the ISO you want, have a USB drive big enough for it (you need about 550 MB free for the latest one, iirc), run Unetbootin, then fire away :) [09:21] hi have y find that in ubuntu 8.10 the usb 2.0 is stuck to 4.5 Mb/s?? is this a bug? any fixes? [09:21] its lan switching and wireless CCNA academic [09:22] Hey is there any kind of GUI for vnc4server? [09:22] enry: my usb goes faster than that.. how do you measure it? [09:22] hi [09:22] only thing i could did is open this material online ...but im not satesfied with this solution [09:22] all [09:23] enry: mine goes way faster than that. (obvious question, but just in case...) you have 2.0, right? :) [09:23] Slart this is a problem fount with a lot of people in ubuntu-it, we all have usb 2.0 [09:23] we don't know how to fix it [09:23] lianimator, what better alternative would you want? isnt it enough to beat Office suit (except exchange) and Works?? [09:24] enry: any similarities across the cases? [09:24] jsquared: i install it on the usb drive, take it over to the laptop, plugin both usb drive AND external hdd...then boot to usb drive, install to external? [09:24] hi all, my firts time with ubuntu, how can I install openoffice? already downloaded but I don't know wich is the installer [09:24] we are studing this but i think that it maibe can be a bug [09:24] ploom: if exchange is the accounting software, I like gnucash much more. [09:24] Athenon: that's about right. I mean, you can use your original computer too - just don't overwrite your existing OS by accident :) [09:24] ddn: use synaptic or applications, Add/Remove [09:25] no one hear me [09:25] ploom: can't really say it "beats" office [09:25] ddn: ubuntu uses repositories to install software.. you don't have to download software like you do on windows [09:25] jsquared: could i just install the live directly to the external and install it on the laptop? I mean, I don't think I have an available thumbdrive :P [09:25] zeralda: we hear you.. we just don't know how to help you [09:25] Slart, I did, because this linux4one has writer and calc, but when I try to install presentation I have some repositories error [09:25] ddn: linux4one? [09:26] Athenon: you can do that. Unetbootin doesn't really care whether it's a thumb drive or a hard drive [09:26] Slart, acer aspire one, very cool distro [09:26] jsquared: ok cool. thanks. [09:27] ddn: we don't support that here afaik.. you'll have to ask the people who distribute it [09:27] lianimator, why can't you? It does the same job, is documented (more) and even free? [09:27] jsquared: one last thing. will it erase my external at some point? :S [09:27] bash: /etc/default/openvpn: Permission denied [09:27] Slart, funny, I thought ubuntu... so... check linux4one.it [09:28] how can i gain access ? [09:28] Athenon: erase it? [09:28] jsquared: yeah. i want the data on the external...and i have like 80+gb free...i just want to install ubuntu ALONGSIDE the data [09:28] ddn: mm.. it's ubuntu based.. but it's not ubuntu.. ubuntu is debian based.. but you won't get any help with ubuntu in #debian [09:28] ideally anyway [09:28] Slart, ok, ty [09:29] Athenon: when you say you have "free space", is that space unpartitioned, or in a partition but just not occupied? [09:29] in a partition, unocuppied [09:29] what is the partition format? [09:29] probably ntfs/fat32 I'm guessing [09:29] ntfs i think...if not, fat32 [09:29] yeah [09:29] :S [09:29] DJ_HaMsTa: what are you trying to do? edit the file? [09:30] remove it.. [09:30] Athenon: that's not going to be super-good for your robustness on Ubuntu. I forget if the installer lets you resize partitions [09:30] ok :S [09:30] Athenon: if it doesn't try downloading gparted and adjusting things [09:30] DJ_HaMsTa: sudo rm /etc/default/openvpn would do it [09:30] unetbootin isnt going to erase it, though? [09:31] hey! im gonna sell two of my harddrives, but I want to wipe them clean first.. is there a good tool to do this? Not just format, but also like write zeroes everywhere on the disk? I tried dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdd but it seems to take forever (even on a 120 GB disk) [09:31] DJ_HaMsTa: that will delete the file.. without sending it to the trashbin [09:31] !wipe | BlastuR [09:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about wipe [09:31] BlastuR: its either going to take forever or youre not going to write 0s everywhere i think ;P [09:31] Unetbootin doesn't do an install. it tries to makes a partition bootable and unpacks the ISO [09:31] BlastuR: wiping a drive will take "forever".. a day or so for a large drive [09:31] oh i see [09:31] cool. thanks [09:31] /var/lib/dpkg/info/openvpn.postrm <-- tried it with this one, does not work [09:31] BlastuR: yes, that will take a long time [09:32] BlastuR: and using wipe will take even longer since it does it several times [09:32] saluté [09:32] goblok [09:32] crap [09:32] !info wipe | BlastuR [09:32] wipe (source: wipe): Secure file deletion.

Thanks [09:33] jsquared, this is a bug....read this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/183839 [09:33] BlastuR: can't you just leave it on over night? [09:33] enry: that doesn't sound like the same thing. you didn't say anything about kernel freezes [09:33] can someone explain to me how to "set the file rights to a+x via: chmod a+x msreader.sh" [09:33] maybe [09:34] enry: also your description seemed to suggest it was all files, not just large files [09:34] cheyne: hmm.. there should be a network under the places menu in gnome too.. [09:34] jsquared, my kernel freeze only if i use the case usb port [09:34] cheyne: is your network setup? [09:34] alright, say I just plugged in an mp3 player, what might it be named in /dev so I can mount it? [09:34] how do I unmount /sda1 from resuce mode so I can fsck it ? [09:34] do you think it is good to use a larger block size with dd? like dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdd bs=100MB ? i guess it will only write 1 byte at a time otherwise? [09:34] how can i delete /var/lib/dpkg/info/openvpn.postrm ? i have tried rm, rm -rf [09:34] yeah the network is all set up [09:34] i just cant find where to access the folders [09:35] i don't try with small file [09:35] BlastuR: yes.. I think using a larger blocksize will make it faster.. at least I think so [09:35] i just plugged in a usb device, how can I find out what it's named in /dev?

I run ubuntu on my production web server. What is the best way to mirror a website on that server so I safley can develop on it on another machine? [10:39] I've heard about something called rsync? [10:40] dixon: are you just wanting to mirror the files or is it a more complicated web site? [10:40] wolfe_: try #trial-translate on efnet [10:41] madmike, the thing is that your drive isnt getting mounted at all... [10:41] thanks slart 8-) [10:42] arvind_khadri: I know, but I was hoping that since the computer recognizes that it is plugged in, it would let me mount it [10:42] madmike, http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/11637.html this seems promising [10:43] oh, and block id doesn't show it [10:43] just the drives already mounted [10:43] ghd1: It's a more complicated website. One solution is to make a full backup of all files, the apache config and the database and just rebuild it as a sub domain on antoher server. But lazy as I am that seems to be quite some work. I wounder what the "standard" way of doing things like this it? [10:44] guys i've rebooted my pc and now the windows in my desktops are not going to close except if i type the killall command by the terminall... what's happening? [10:44] Maybe CVS is a better solution for the files? [10:45] even in the case i try to use another DE like Xfce instead of my default GNOME DE, the problem persists... [10:46] sicked, some process would be using all the processor... use top to find out which one [10:46] dixon: there is no "standard way". You could probably use rsync to copy over the files but the database will not be in a consistent state on the new machine [10:46] arvind_khadri: i have no process using the processor.. the maximum rate is 6% [10:46] this is bizarre..

[11:43] anybody with ubuntu and a MacBook ? without OSX, just ubuntu ? [11:44] Sec_Goat: are you installing over a wireless network or something? [11:44] arent there any dictionary support with linux ...like arabic english dictionary [11:44] gotobedsleepyhea: I think I have to edit my xorg manually.

I have seen something like this in Windows before, and what i did to fix it was reduce the resolution, is there a way to do that the Boot / install options? [11:46] Sec_Goat: In the bootloader, there should be a screen res option I think [11:46] you might have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:46] Durt: Yes it is something the video card bu t is definitely signal OVER Range [11:46] OriWB_: Erm, well the wikipedia article plan went out the window [11:46] if it is detecting the your monitor properly [11:47] OriWB_: do you close the lid or press quit from the menu? [11:47] harlemdavvey: sometimes you have to ask your question over, since it may be missed. don't be afraid to ask two or three times sometimes [11:47] harlemdavvey: preferences - sessions - add and in the command part enter metacity --replace [11:47] yownanymous: well, i set the computer not to do anything when i close the lid [11:47] OK, so it's quit [11:47] yownanymous: but thats a waste of battery [11:47] Sec_Goat: press esc before boot to gui install and select text install, or download the alternative install cd [11:48] durt: Oh there's a point, never thought of that [11:48] zzx [11:48] hi, still cannot get my hard drive to mount. it is installed on a aacraid controller and shows in /proc/scsi/scsi but no coreesponding device in /dev. http://paste.ubuntu.com/118402/ [11:48] yownanymous: :) [11:48] durt: I will give that a shot, any suggestions for alt Cds? like the txt install one? [11:49] OriWB_: erm right, so it's just a black screen and a horizontal line like in terminal? [11:49] atlef_: do i have to put something on the "browse.." button?

[11:49] OriWB_: Strange, when mine does that, I wait for a maximum of about 10 seconds then it goes into standby [11:49] Sec_Goat: no, it's straight forward [11:49] seriously.. i don't know how and why but my system reboots without a window theme working and i have to fight to have my windows closeable... what can i do to solve this problem? i cannot always have this problem... i cannot stand this situation that is always the same everytime i uninstall some program... [11:50] hi, somebody know the name of that... font installer in kubuntu? i really want to install that on my gnome [11:50] yownanymous: hmm [11:50] does anybody have ubuntu on 3g mobile phone [11:50] OriWB_: You got any hardware like USB pens inserted or anything like that? [11:50] i could try letting it sit for a bit.... or look for standbye setting somewhere [11:50] alright i will give this another shot and see what happens, hopefully i will be back on ubuntu! [11:50] Sec_Goat: don't do a cli install, thats just a basic server install, no windows [11:50] yownanymous: well, now i do, but not always [11:51] OriWB_: Well put it in standby, wait for a while, and if it doesn't work, come back here [11:51] yownanymous: k thanx [11:51] can you install ubuntu from memorycard [11:51] v2: You can install from USB stick [11:51] but not from memorycard? [11:52] v2: Dunno, check out http://unetbootin.sourceforrge.net [11:52] I mean [11:52] http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net [11:52] typo [11:52] :D [11:52] yownanymous: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === atlef_ is now known as atlef [11:52] I'm not flooding, I'm correcting a typo! :@ [11:52] that bot is too smart [11:53] can anyone help me with skype in dsl [11:54] hey anyone know the name of that font installer in kubuntu? i switched from kubuntu to ubuntu, now i really want to have it on my computer again [11:54] it logs in but no contacts are found [11:54] anyone here ever used mknod command? [11:55] does anybody know mobile phone where you can connect usb stick [11:55] v2: Do you want to install Ubuntu Mobile Edition?

[11:57] is there any good psp iso compressor for linux? [11:57] that... ubuntu mid edition :) hehe [11:58] oh right [11:58] you are now breathing manually [11:58] yeah [11:58] I was gonna install it on my f****d phone [11:58] :) [11:58] well that's for smartphones right? [11:58] hello [11:59] how do you limit a new user's access to anywhere outside the home directory? [11:59] mastt: It should be like that by default, they need root access [12:00] mastt: Oh wait a sec [12:00] * yownanymous slaps himself [12:00] Hey how do I "open ports"? [12:00] yesterday i did an apt-get upgrade, and after that smba and lisa aren't working. is there something hat i can do to have my old samba and lisa?? [12:00] hey what is the easiest way to install fonts? [12:00] !iptables | G-Bleezy [12:00] G-Bleezy: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [12:01] thank you [12:01] G-Bleezy: but no ports are closed by default in the firewall. You just need to start whatever service you want to run on them. [12:01] mastt: You mean you don't want them even able to see the other directories? Because without root access they can't do anything to them [12:01] !fonts | juniecho [12:01] juniecho: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [12:01] oh ok that is good to know === gozilla is now known as L3r0y [12:01] i thought it was closed :/ [12:01] juniecho: essentially, drag the .ttf to ~/.fonts [12:01] G-Bleezy: why? [12:02] because i could connect via from localhost but not remote.... [12:02] G-Bleezy: if you're running some service but can't access it from an external host that's more often because you're behind a router doing NAT than because of something ubuntu is doing [12:02] how can i prove that? [12:02] is there a tool like aida that can tell me the type of ram i have [12:02] G-Bleezy: (which is more of a #networking thing really, assuming that exists) [12:02] im on wireless [12:02] jrib: wasn't there a font installer tool on kubuntu? can't i get something similar? [12:02] yownanymous: yes [12:02] G-Bleezy: sudo iptables -L to make sure there are no iptables rules [12:02] mastt: Hmm, there should be some way to do that, give me a sec [12:03] G-Bleezy: I bet your wireless router needs a port forward set up [12:03] juniecho: there's probably some nautilus script that will let you right click and install font (since all it would do is copy the font to ~/.fonts), but I don't know [12:03] oh I know [12:03] looks clean [12:03] FN'mzz is there any way i can check that?? [12:03] jrib: that easy ? :) i think i'll give it a try [12:03] can i undo the apt-get upgrade? [12:03] I don't have access to the physical router...can i confirm that im screwed without physical access?? [12:03] henaaque: not supported. Why do you want to? [12:04] physical access to the router is more what i meant to say :) [12:04] one apache process is running as root, is that safe? [12:04] mastt: It should all be under Preferences->Administration->Users and Groups [12:04] yownanymous: I don't have a gui installed [12:04] mastt yes it is [12:04] mastt: Oh [12:04] G-Bleezy: I'd ask #networking, assuming it exists [12:04] I'm pretty useless without a GUI I'm afraid [12:04] G-Bleezy: it is not hard to be a lot better at this kind of thing than I am :) [12:05] yownanymous: thanks anyway [12:05] no problem [12:05] hey guys, how to let BitTorrent Transmission to select a port automatically?? [12:05] lol don't be so hard on yourself! [12:06] jrib: i can't find ~/.fonts , am i to manually create it? [12:06] is squirrelmail all I need to act as a mail server and display mail from a web interface? [12:06] G-Bleezy: you can't get to the router with your browser? [12:06] guys any one can tell me how to make the system do a fsck on the next boot? [12:06] jrib, yesterday i did an apt-get upgrade, and now the others computers of my network can't access my files using samba [12:06] hi ppl [12:06] what's the fastest program for torrents in ubuntu 8.10? transmission? [12:06] I was wondering if it's possible to read an ext 3 filesystem in Windows [12:07] transmission is really simple and fast, I'd say is a good choice === iron_man_ftw is now known as away_man_ftl [12:07] yownanymous: google for "ext3 ifs" [12:07] mzz: cheers [12:07] yeah [12:07] actually ext2FS [12:07] harlemdavvey they are all the same when speed is concerned [12:07] FN'jimcooncat, Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.0.1. [12:07] so what essentially is the difference between ext3 and ext4? [12:07] yownanymous: (no firsthand experience with that one but I've heard it works pretty well)( [12:08] yownanymous: kernelnewbies.org has a page on that iirc [12:08] well, yes but maybe there is some difference in resuming, availability in finding sources.. i don't know... [12:08] * mzz digs it up [12:08] yesterday i did an apt-get upgrade, and now the others computers of my network can't access my files using samba. what can i do?? [12:08] rockyrock: in transmission - preferences-network-set what port you want [12:08] juniecho: yes === away_man_ftl is now known as iron_man_ftw [12:08] !repeat | henaaque [12:08] henaaque: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [12:08] hi [12:08] yownanymous: google site:kernelnewbies.org ext4, first hit [12:08] henaaque: ubuntu version, package version, etc. Have you checked bugs.ubuntu.com [12:08] argh, kernel compilation, not something I'm comfortable with [12:08] how can I disable networkmanager from starting at login? === eric is now known as Guest24342 [12:09] G-Bleezy: You know that's your gateway IP? Perhaps try 192.168.0.1:8080 [12:09] G-Bleezy: "route" can tell you what your gateway's ip is [12:10] G-Bleezy: and if it won't listen on common ports like 80 or 8080 you can use nmap to figure out what it has open [12:10] !bit torrent | harlemdavvey [12:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about bit torrent [12:10] hey this IFS stuff looks pretty good, thanks mzz [12:10] np [12:10] !torrent | harlemdavvey [12:10] harlemdavvey: Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [12:11] FN'mzz, hey route was good!! I found the gateway, it was hiding!! :p [12:11] personally I do this the other way around, most linux distros are pretty good at reading and writing local ntfs or network cifs mounts [12:11] one last time before i go to bed...has anyone here ever used mknod command? does it sound like to answer to my missing hard drive in /dev? [12:11] 192.168.1.1 [12:11] mzz: Yeah but I use wubi so Windows is my "proper" OS [12:11] gotobedsleepyhea: I've used it, you shouldn't need it [12:11] When I try to add a partition in GParted it says I already have 4 primary partitions. Thats true, but I want to add a logical partition :S Why Can't I do that? [12:11] gotobedsleepyhea: what's the problem? [12:11] "NETGEAR WGR614v8" :( [12:12] yownanymous: hmm, I hope that ifs stuff can access the loopback fs... [12:12] anyone got that gear? :p [12:12] mzz: I heard something about that actually [12:12] lordnoid: you need to add an extended partition to put that logical partition in, most likely [12:12] lordnoid: remove a primary partition and create an extended one [12:12] lordnoid a logical partition is a primary that acts as a container for other partitions [12:12] but it's a virtual disk, that's the problem [12:12] lordnoid: yeah, what cousin_luigi said [12:12] oh okay [12:12] have a hard drive on an adaptec raid controller that shows up in /proc/scsi/scsi but not in /dev [12:12] s/logical/extended [12:13] thanks [12:13] gotobedsleepyhea: using which kernel? Standard ubuntu one? [12:13] my headphones feel oppressive :P [12:13] good question - its mythbuntu with fixes [12:13] not sure which kernal [12:13] gotobedsleepyhea: could be a missing module. Can you pastebin dmesg? [12:14] mythbuntu is good but it's really complicated [12:14] Has anyone idea why Surf applet for AWN doesn't show not visited rss links? === eric is now known as Guest5990 [12:14] i thought dell worked well with unbuntu, why doesnt suspend work on an e6400? [12:14] do i need to do something with a user for it to be able to connect via sftp?... I keep getting access denied [12:15] innociv: did you install openssh-server? [12:15] i can get on it with one usr [12:15] user* [12:15] innociv: if they can ssh in they can usually use sftp too afaik [12:15] but not a new one i made [12:15] http://paste.ubuntu.com/118417/ [12:15] and hte user can ssh in [12:16] innociv: I'd look at the server-side logs (may have to increase verbosity a bit), they're usually more interesting than the client-side logs [12:16] what lines do I need to add to sources.lst to get access to most software? [12:16] what log am i looking for? [12:17] innociv: good question :) Probably just the usual /var/log/messages, but you may have to increase verbosity through /etc/ssh/sshd_config, iirc [12:17] Is it possible to put an IDE harddrive in a cabinett for an extern DVD-burner? [12:17] ugh [12:17] oh [12:17] i dont have allowusers in there [12:18] Anybody here know about phpsysinfo and its config file?

[13:04] Davedan: apt doesn't install anything without your approval [13:04] hi [13:05] pino: because its a complicated package that involves building kernel modules etc [13:05] jrib: I want to add an 'event listener' to apt and run a script on my machine each time apt installs something [13:05] i have a problem with wine: toslan@ignaz-acer:~$ wine [13:05] bash: /usr/bin/wine: No such file or directory [13:05] but wine is installed: toslan@ignaz-acer:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/wine [13:05] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5496 2008-10-27 02:32 /usr/bin/wine [13:06] Davedan: I'm pretty sure you can do that in apt or dpkg preferences (yes, I know that's vague) [13:06] am i supposed to use mkinitrdramfs somehow after my kernel is built?

At least I know I wasn't completely wrong [13:29] sammyF: are they in use (shouldn't matter) or locked ? [13:29] helloo!!! [13:29] sammyF: can you chown one of the files manually? [13:29] helloo [13:29] can you help me? [13:30] Axel_ESP: ask, and lets sing [13:30] ikonia: hmm .. they are owned by root, although they are the config files in my home dir.

[13:51] opr: that's quite a late card so full support may not be available, lets see [13:51] Out of interest, I have a graphics card identified as NV5 [RIVA TNT2/TNT2 Pro].. can't seem to get proprietary drivers with 3d acceleration loaded at all.. any ideas? [13:51] it says its available AND enabled. [13:51] i can easily make my res go to 1280x1024 but it always resets at startup [13:51] blizzle: what type of card is it [13:52] opr: how are you making it go to the higher res ?

[13:53] sky_: use gparted [13:53] i shall try [13:53] i wanted to ask you ... do you think it's possible to run "*buntu 8.10" on an "acer aspire 7730g" ... as far as i read there shouldn't be much problems [13:53] blizzle: probably why no 3d - support was dropped for old cards [13:53] i dont see there a resize function [13:53] ikonia [13:53] mado: try it [13:54] ikonia: Can't even get a proprietary driver installed.. even though the card is supposedly supported by the nvidia drivers. :/ [13:54] Bonjour [13:54] blizzle: who said it's supported ? [13:54] ikonia: nvidia's site. [13:54] blizzle: old card support was dropped from a lot of the newer drivers [13:54] blizzle: really, can you show me the link [13:55] Is there a type tutor or somesuch thing , and if so, which do you or would you recommend?

Current issues affect the kill switch and some WPA-Enterprise networks, so ideally need these to work. [13:57] ikonia: I've tried with the nvidia tools and whatever's in the repository.. can't seem to locate support for the card. [13:57] opr: it seems to be your desktop rather than your overall x server, interesting [13:57] I know the rules here, but as I said, no one gives a god damn about me. [13:57] ye [13:57] blizzle: it says your card is only supported in the 1.071 driver [13:57] innxis: calm down [13:57] innxis, sup? [13:57] ok thanks ... i'll try it then [13:57] innxis: if you know the rules, you can drop that attitude now [13:57] ikonia: Yup, indeed. Is there a way to force that driver into Ubuntu?

The max resolution I can get to is 1024x768 [13:58] opr: Actually it is 800x600 [13:58] chazco: better to look for what is supported in the currentl kernel, then do a search for one of those cards in a shop [13:58] !hcl > chazco [13:58] chazco, please see my private message [13:59] innxis, are u using an nvidia card? [13:59] innxis: I know its frustrating when no-one answers you, but maybe thats because they don't know? [13:59] Hi! Where does Intrepid saves the configuration of samba shares? I made a folder shared through nautilus but there is no share entry in /etc/samba/smb.conf however the share works! Where was this configuration saved?

[13:59] Ah thanks ikonia, the ubottu link is useful. Downloading 7.10 as a temp solution though [13:59] vigo: yes [13:59] Hi!

[14:00] cdffsagf [14:00] ikonia: hm it is odd, do you think it might be anything to do with autologin? [14:00] innxis: I did that also, re-installed, did NOT select that, then went to Synaptic and got the right one, still restricted, but it worked.

[14:02] ikonia: what you mean? the nvidia drivers i installed or the drivers i can chose? [14:02] innxis: you installed additional nvidia drivers ? [14:03] no [14:03] the restricted ones [14:03] ikonia: I'm hoping http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_x86_71.86.06.html might help. [14:03] innxis: so what did you mean by the ones you installed ? [14:03] well i activated a restricted driver [14:03] [BRB] [14:03] opr: someone just made a good suggestion, your not using xnest or anything like that [14:04] ok, is there an easy way to install ubuntu with an encrypted root filesystem? [14:04] ikonia, not afaik, this is pretty much a fresh install [14:04] tapas: sure. Use alternate installation cd. [14:04] opr: ok, more thinking required [14:04] [Back] [14:04] At first boot, there is a icon, says this is the driver you need, well that does not work on some boxes, the workaround I found was ignore that, install the restricted one from Synaptic, all works ok. [14:04] tapas: the alternate has a great tool for that, and it's pretty well documented [14:05] Myrtti: ok, awesome.. thanks for the info [14:05] tapas: you can do it with the normal installation cd too, but it's easier to do it with the alternate one. Doesn't need that much hassle [14:05] ikonia: nvidia restricted drivers 177 [14:05] tapas: just remember that you need unencrypted /boot ;-) [14:06] hello, is there a way of getting a list of available source packages through the commands? [14:06] papagaj: all packages have a source package [14:06] innxis: is your card supported by that driver ? [14:06] dunno [14:06] ikonia: supposed to be [14:06] innxis: checking is a good thing to do [14:07] innxis: how do you know if it's "supposed" to be, if you've just said "don't know" [14:07] innxis: I installed the same driver on gNewSence, it was the one that works, that suggested driver at boot is buggy or non compliant with some cards and setups. [14:07] innxis: you'll get a lot futher if you are just straight with your answers [14:07] ikonia: not quite -- there are the nonfree packages, there might be other extra repos added -- so I would need to filter out just the packages whose source is available [14:07] and all this with on a terminal [14:07] papagaj: apt-cache policy sets the policy - [14:08] papagaj: so anything that's not a binary release will have a source package [14:08] ikonia: I used ubuntu for 2 years. I had this problem in the past but someone edited my xorg and it worked. The problem is i lost that xorg file. It was on a private host. === avc_work is now known as acuster [14:08] where are you from [14:08] hello, i need help with driver installation for printer samsung clp-315, printer works but no colour, just black.. using interpid [14:08] innxis: that doesn't mean the current driver is support [14:09] i'm from china [14:09] xiao: this is a support channel, not a chat channel, if you want to chat #ubuntu-offtopic may be better [14:09] !cn | xiao [14:09] xiao: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [14:09] Does someone here know if PHP is compiled with the GD library by default in the version available in Ubuntu?

This of course messed up grub (but I followed instructions to restore it so he can boot into ubuntu). Problem now is that windows does not show up on the grub menu.lst How to fix this? Ubuntu is on sda1, windows xp on sda2 (with boot flag), and linux swap on sda3.

[14:28] ikonia: vsync [14:28] ikonia: where is located? [14:28] innxis: it's not a directory, it's a parameter in the xorg.conf as I said [14:28] dantel123: In BIOS , is a select OS and a boot time ,1,2,3,4secs and so on, I would guess that is where the answer is. [14:28] dante123: Sorry, that was meant for you - windows first then ubuntu tends to be easier; but in your current state look in /boot/grub/menu.lst and there is an example for booting windows - uncomment it and change the root (hd0,0) to (hd0,1) [14:29] hi penguin42 [14:29] penguin42 okay will look at that, do I need to change any boot flags etc?? [14:29] penguin42 is also very correct. === StevePearce_ is now known as StevePearce [14:30] ikonia: thanks [14:30] dante123: No, if you just change that entry in grub.conf it should do it - or install in the opposite order [14:30] how do I tell what process is opening what port?

[14:35] everything is fine using remote desktop [14:35] but that doesnt help my friend of course [14:36] i have already upgraded audacity to version 1.3.5 using backports in the repos [14:36] metoshade: Well if he's desperate he could use a remote desktop to his own machine :-) [14:36] If I move /tmp to a ramdisk (tmpfs), and it runs out of space, saize a declared size of 100MB, what happens if runs out of space? does the process die horribly that was using /tmp? [14:36] lol [14:36] indeed she could, but this should of course work [14:36] no I have not this entry penguin42 [14:36] chawarma: Thanks [14:36] where can i find a good guide for Pinnacle PCTV Hybrid Pro Stick 330e [14:36] penguin42 the menu is in french [14:36] what is GL Desktop ? [14:37] carpii: I am not the admin,gksudo or something? [14:37] chawarma: Oh erm - in that case do you have something similar? GL Desktop is the compiz fancy pretty effects [14:37] vigo hrm, yeah gksudo if youre on gnome [14:37] i am starting to think that the problem is not directly related to audacity because using remote desktop solves the problem "kinda" [14:37] Ok, thank you [14:38] metoshade: It's a little odd - is the remote desktop seeing the whole of his existing desktop? [14:38] yes it is [14:38] it is really odd [14:38] theres a person completely surveilled by y keylogging tool, is there anyway a possibility to have secret communications to her without having to manipulate her computer eexcept in a language unknown by the owner of the keylogger? [14:38] anyone using Kasablanca FTP client please send priv msg [14:38] ikonia: thanks [14:38] penguin42 I havn't something like this [14:38] quizme: for what ? [14:39] it is very difficult to explain the problem, i hope you guys understand [14:39] Neato, Thank you carpii [14:39] np [14:39] hey everyone, im trying to run Steam on my Ubuntu8.10, i have it installed and everything but when i run the .exe with wine it says its starting up but when it closes steam doesnt start at all , anyone know whats with this? [14:39] gerhard_: As answers to something they see on the screen - e.g. you display everything as yes/no answers - the keylogger won't know what the answers are to [14:39] chawarma: Thanks [14:39] i can echo $HOME to find out what my home dir is. how can i find my usergroup? [14:39] ikonia: good news. It's working :) [14:39] dayo: id [14:39] innxis: that's great, well done [14:39] dayo: id [14:39] penguin42: thats an idea but i am unsure if not the whole screen is logged... [14:39] ikonia: and the gnome-pannel doesen't kill my day anymore [14:40] innxis: mega, well done. [14:40] GeffIsLegend, try reading the install instructions here http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=1554 [14:40] also: the mous acts normal when hovering over the rest of the interface of audacity, it is just when hovering over a song (the blue sinusoide) that it acts weird [14:40] penguin42: ikonia: i need something that spits out *just* the group, so i can pass it to a command/variable [14:40] ikonia: thank you :) [14:40] thanks carpii [14:40] ikonia: I should give you a beer ;) [14:40] it even disappears for about 1/3 of the window and than re-appears further on [14:40] gerhard_: If everything is logged then the only way is to use some existing piece of knowledge with the person you are speaking to [14:40] innxis: you did it yourself, well done [14:41] dayo: id -g try id --help [14:41] ;-) we are, trying to talk in latin ;-D [14:41] ikonia: it it wasn't for you, I would punch the monitor :D [14:41] when looking in with remote desktop, i can see her mousepointer over 1m37 and selecting a point on 1m37, at the same time she sees her pointer over 27 seconds and selecting a point on 1m37 [14:41] I am running xubuntu, but I would like to install ubuntu minimal install and just apt-get everything for minimalism. However, my internet conection is via a wireless usb adepter. Will I be able to conect to the internet after I install the minimal install so I can apt-get everything? [14:41] innxis: well, your working now, so that's great [14:42] hello, I am looking for a tool to synchronize my data with an external hard disk. it should be fast to check for differences because I want to transfer multiple GBs [14:42] ikonia: ok, thank you very much. you made my day :) [14:42] so for her it seems her pointer is functioning but the "actions" are displaced to the right [14:42] innxis: no sweat, glad your working [14:43] penguin42: that gave me the numeric value. how do i get the alphabetical group name? [14:43] mysql_safe is using 100% cpu for some reason, how can I find out why? [14:43] ikonia: you said ".bashrc" I asked how to have .bashrc read into the current console window. [14:43] quizme: ooh right, no problem [14:43] mastt: what are you doing with mysql ? [14:43] penguin42: id -gn [14:43] mastt: use mysql-admin to monitor it ? [14:43] penguin42: thanks! :-) [14:43] mastt: check the logs to see what it's doing ? [14:44] and her mouse / pointer act normally for her when hover over the index bar, right above a loaded song (which has the seconds / minutes in it) [14:44] clicking that causes to song to start playing at the correct point [14:45] penguin42 what does the makeactive statement do? [14:45] but clicking the song at a point causes the selection bar to drop somewhere about a third of the window to the right [14:45] this happens in a wav file and in an mp3 file [14:45] is gecko engine required to use steam and play the games? [14:45] dante123: I'm not sure - I think it changes a flag in the partition table before booting [14:46] and this happens in audacity 1.3.2 as it does in 1.3.5 on ubuntu hardy [14:46] do you think I need that statement in there (only used it because it was in the example given- an example where windows was on hda 0,0) [14:46] test [14:46] penguin42 do you think I need that statement in there (only used it because it was in the example given- an example where windows was on hda 0,0) [14:46] dante123: Not sure, but given the example has it you may as well keep it! [14:47] Hello. I have one problem: I wanner download data in html to plain text. [14:47] okay, thanks for your help penguin42 [14:47] hi [14:47] where are the input devices associated to the KBD handler ? when I do "cat /proc/bus/input/devices" I see my remote input is associated to "kbd event5", so is there a way to get rid of KBD handler ? otherwise when I press key of my remote it's like if I press keys of my keyboard. [14:48] For example, you know the PEER in UC berkekly? The data is in html format which I wanner transfer to plain text, which I would use later in MATLAB. [14:48] Any help or suggestions? [14:51] i'm going crazy need ftp client with TLS and FXP support, tried Kasablanca but cant find how to make the setup for active mode [14:52] or to say, what's the command to save page as other formats? [14:52] does ubuntu have full ntfs read/write? [14:52] Hello, I'm trying to back up a HD HOME directory (it doesn't boot on it because grub is "busted"), onto another HD using a live ubuntu CD but I can't because I'm not OWNER of the files and folders... How can I solve this? [14:52] hi, how do i check the version of a file or driver ie. file.ko that is being used??? [14:52] or is it better to use another FS if ou need to share between dualboots? [14:53] ubuntu_todd: sudo apt-get install html2text, man html2text [14:54] durt: At this moment I just wanner save the opened page as plain text format. [14:54] um, copy and paste? [14:55] Hi, how do I protect my server from UDP flooding? [14:56] I have 2 drives running on a software mirror, how do I break it? [14:56] anyone have an id? [14:56] ubuntu_todd: if your using firefox, maybe try galeon [14:56] or is there a irc chat room where i can go to for further info? [14:56] durt: I am using firefox. [14:57] ubuntu_todd: try other browsers, or search for an extension that adds that function [14:57] durt:http://peer.berkeley.edu/smcat/data/ath/KOBE/TOT000.AT2 [14:57] anybody know how I can run wireless after a minimal install? [14:57] hi everyone! could anyone help me with recovering usb flash? when mounting it says it's write protected [14:57] durt: This is the web file. If in windows I would copy all the data in the page then save to a txt file which I need. [14:57] Seito, Try mounting it with rw flag [14:58] durt: But that would require a lot of work. [14:58] id doesn't even wish to mount [14:58] ubuntu_todd: so copy&paste into gedit [14:59] durt: Just now I use the SavePage As in File then save as plain text. That works. [14:59] Hey... I'm having a problem getting apache2 to serve files that are in my home directory. I guess there is some security setting or something that I'm not aware of? If I place the exact same files with the same permissions in /var/whatever then it works fine (but not in /home/myuser/whatever) [15:00] durt: But I want use command to do all the jobs like open the web, save the page as plain text. [15:00] ikonia: nope... the gnome-pannel works like crap T_T" [15:00] durt: I have more than 1000 records to do. So copy and paste is not so reasonable. [15:00] ikonia: still takes me 50% of the cpu's and dies [15:01] i am going to audacity at freenode to see if i can find a solution [15:01] thanks for listening [15:01] cheers [15:01] sudo mount -o rw /dev/sdb /media/disk [15:01] ubuntu_todd: not sure of the syntax but something like 'wget | html2text ' [15:01] mount: block device /dev/sdb is write-protected, mounting read-only [15:01] mount: you must specify the filesystem type [15:02] but there is no file system - it's clean [15:03] ikonia: the bug is related here too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/291656 [15:04] anyone uses smartctl (s.m.a.r.t. hdd monitoring tool)? what does the disk lifetime mean? is it how old the disk is or is it the expected lifetime? [15:06] so any ideas? gparted doesn't see it at all [15:08] gparted says about my usb flash (/dev/sdb) - unrecognised disk label. [15:08] hello there, when i startup ubuntu intrepid, i have the default gnome icons and colors because gnome-settings-deamon failed to start. When i logout and then log in again it works [15:08] how can i fix this? [15:09] if i have a domain (ath.cx) that points to my ip, how do i use it in irssi? i've tried -h and --hostname= but they wont work :( [15:09] I'm thinking about virtualizing a gaming server (Left 4 Dead) with Virtualbox or KVM, which do you suggest I use? [15:09] Ljudkort: why virtualbox? :S [15:09] notwist, previous experience, and networking seems easier, or do I fool myself? [15:09] Ljudkort: i mean why emulate another OS, it will take a lot more resources from your computer [15:09] Ljudkort: don't they have servers for both windows and linux? [15:10] notwist, yes they do. I was thinking more in the way of security if someone breaks in? I have personal stuff on that server too [15:11] 1qazxsw23edcvfr45tgbnhy67ujm,ki89ol.-òp0 [15:11] hello everyone, can anybody give me a hint how I can rotate my backup folders? I have a backup script that runs weekly, but I want to rotate backup folders so that I have access to weekly backups [15:11] Ljudkort: i don't think that you really have to worry about someone "breaking in" [15:12] notwist, hmm... Okay, thanks :) [15:12] Ljudkort: IMO you will only lose capacity if you emulate another OS. Say that you install linux and reserve 1 gb of RAM for that for your server -- then you lose 1 gb for yourself! [15:12] Ljudkort: seems to make more sense to actually install the server in the OS you're running now. If you're concerned about security you should get a firewall [15:13] How can I use the LiveCD to install grub? [15:13] notwist, true, true. I suppose a Shorewall well configured would do my security problem [15:13] magcius: google, there are plenty of guides on how to reinstall grub via live cd [15:13] notwist, well. Thanks for your opinion, might take you up on it :) [15:13] Ljudkort: are you going to use windows or linux natively? [15:14] Ljudkort: and what did you plan to run through virtualbox in that case? [15:14] notwist, linux - and JeOS in Virtualbox/KVM [15:15] help! [15:15] !ask [15:15] 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. :-) [15:15] Ljudkort: I'm not familiar with JeOS but it seems to me that it makes more sense to run the server natively and close off ports in a firewall if you are bothered by the security aspects [15:15] !ask | Seito [15:15] Seito: please see above [15:15] :) [15:15] lol [15:15] notwist; Yeah.

I'm dualbooting a 250G drive with Windows, which has 50GB; /home is about 180GB and / is about 20GB. GRUB keeps throwing an Erro1 8 at me, even though it's worked for months with no problems. Any suggestions? [15:32] Scunizi: I could see it on netstat -p and connect to it before and now I can't when I restart it [15:33] Scunizi: I also get "No /usr/sbin/vsftpd found running; none killed." when I restart [15:33] !connect [15:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about connect [15:33] mastt: is it the stock install or have you modified the conf file? [15:33] Scunizi: I modfied the conf file but it worked after that [15:33] I'll reinstall [15:34] mastt: have you tried starting it with sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd start ?? and what were the results? [15:34] in the menu where is Gparted?, i just downloaded it from synaptic [15:34] * Starting FTP server: vsftpd [ OK ] [15:34] thiebaude: system -> administration -> partition editor [15:34] thiebaude: if it's installed it would be called Partion Manager in System>admin [15:35] *editor [15:35] thanks jrib [15:35] jrib: my fingers are fat this morning :/ [15:36] mastt: is this on a server install with no gui or desktop [15:36] Scunizi: I reinstalled and it's working [15:37] mastt: great.. are you using it for personal use or something like Joomla? [15:37] Scunizi: to upload files to my website [15:38] I'm trying to install a USB to SERIAL adapter under Ubuntu. How do I know if the drivers can be installed? [15:38] Scunizi: do you know the correct way to make the ftp directory the apache http root directory? [15:39] mastt: ah.. yes.. I've been playing with Joomla CMS and I'm having a tough time getting an ftp to work correctly so I can change templates, upload photos etc.. this is on my home server .. commercial server has no issues. [15:39] mastt: that's pretty much the same issue I'm dealing with. the ftp user is ftp.. so I think you either make the user ftp a member of www-data or move it's /home [15:40] Andry_Afk: check out this link http://blog.mypapit.net/2008/05/how-to-use-usb-serial-port-converter-in-ubuntu.html [15:41] thank you FiReSTaRT, i'll check it out right now [15:41] Andry_Afk: no worries.. it helped me set up mine without a hitch :) [15:43] any idea what is worng here? ls -ltr *.sql [15:44] hi I just installed Xubuntu 8.10, sound worked, then installed Amarok and VLC and sound stopped working, how do I troubleshoot? [15:45] nielsbom: uninstall both and see if sound returns.. then if it does reinstall one at a time and test.. the one tha makes the sound stop is the one you need to look at. === FlareFlare is now known as Flare183 [15:46] when I try to make use of the "guest session" entry in the drop down of the logout button in the upper right, the background becomes orange and that's all... [15:47] Scunizi: thanks, I'll try that [15:47] Scunizi: is a reboot necessary/advisable? [15:48] nielsbom: nope [15:49] nielsbom: if something needs to be restarted, typically you don't do it with a full reboot.. that's WAY overkill. there are easier ways of restarting particular services.. like the sound server, desktop display etc. [15:49] Ah ok [15:50] <_delirium> I have just installed 8.10, but it does boot after restarting - I get the message - Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/ does not exist! Dropping to a shell!! [15:50] Scunizi: I tried the command alsamixer [15:50] <_delirium> does boot = does not boot [15:50] FiReSTaRT: man I did it!!! thank you so much!!! [15:50] anyone familiar with backuppc? [15:50] nielsbom: that's just a mixer and should allow you to check if the Mute is on for any particular input [15:51] and got the volume settings, the problem is that my laptop (on Windows) shuts down the laptop speakers and switches to headphone output when I insert a headphone jack [15:51] _delirium: do you have more than one harddrive in your machine? [15:51] Andry_Afk: I'm glad it worked.. what did you need it for anyways? i use it for some older gps receivers [15:51] Scunizi: but alsamixer shows me the volume on headphones is 00 and I can't turn it up like the other channels [15:51] <_delirium> Scunizi: sure - 4 [15:51] _delirium: so you get to the initrd, but that can't find the root filesystem [15:51] _delirium: raid? [15:52] FiReSTaRT: i'm planning to use this new netbook for my job, and I need it for configure routers and switches, as a networking technician [15:52] <_delirium> i think it doesnt get to initd im not sure - drops into BusyBox [15:52] _delirium: yeah... which is the shell in the initrd [15:52] <_delirium> I have 1 x Sata connected to the mobo and then 3 x Sata connected to a HPT RocketRaid 1640 PCI Card [15:53] <_delirium> stefg: ash [15:53] Andry_Afk: ahhh ok.. i guess those little toys do come in useful for a thing or two.. for my kinda work, you need a desktop replacement.. 16-17" optimal size [15:53] _delirium: tell abozt your hardware and partitions [15:53] _delirium: what may have happened is setup put a bad uuid in /etc/fstab.. so you need to sudo fdisk -l to identify your partitions and sudo blkid to discover the correct uuid numbers of the partitions then look at fstab and match them up. Change the bad one. [15:53] hi [15:54] <_delirium> Scunizi: okie dokie - im in the live cd at the moment - will take a look... [15:54] is there a better tool than bluefish to edit my codes [15:54] ? [15:54] FiReSTaRT: yes, it's quite inexpensive and very lightweight, and for my job it will be perfect =) [15:54] _delirium: any data on the drives that are off the raid card? [15:54] .msg Andry_Afk and spreadsheets... so having a half-decent screen size is crucial [15:55] oooops lol [15:55] <_delirium> Scunizi: yes the 1 x sata connected to the mobo is for my OS (partitions - 1=swap, 2=ext3, 3=ntfs) - the 3 x Sata connected to the RAID PCI card are for my important files (1 partition - ext3) === _polto__ is now known as _polto_ [15:57] hi, can avant window manager be put elsewere then the bottom, like on the right side..i didn't see that option [15:57] _delirium: If you don't discover an error in fstab with the uuid numbers, I'd suggest disconnecting the raid card and see if you can boot using the primary drive.. It'll still give you errors about uuid etc because any drives it identified on the raid card won't be there to reference.. [15:58] _delirium: it would be easiest if you could pastebin the outputs of 'sudo fdisk -l' 'sudo blkid' the content of /boot/grub/menu.lst and probably the /etc/fstab of the installed system [15:59] avant window navigator in fact [15:59] <_delirium> Scunizi: no mistakes in /etc/fstab - it also only lists the /dev/sda devices - which is the disk connected to my mobo [15:59] Hello guys, I can't get to share my internet connection from my linux box with a Windows XP client, I tried firestarter, I can ping google ip from the windows PC but I can't resolve any domain name, what's wrong here? [15:59] _delirium: the easiest way to do what stefg suggested is at terminal with pastebinit [16:01] _delirium: that's probably why it's having issues.. but if you can do what stefg said.. he/she may have more input than I can provide concering the raid card.. I'm not particularly good with raid [16:01] <_delirium> just checked the uuid's in /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab and they are all correct [16:01] How does gnome-power-manager measure system idle? [16:01] any hints guys? [16:01] _delirium: try yanking the raid card and see if the errors go away [16:02] _delirium: is there any kind of dmraid/ mdadm involved or is that hardware raid ? [16:02] <_delirium> Scunizi: is there a way to disable a module from being loaded at boot time - i see that the live cd loads the module pata_hpt37x - which is the wrong one for my raid card [16:02] !blacklist [16:02] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » === sale_ is now known as sale [16:02] _delirium: I think you're into stefg 's relm now..

[16:09] Hi, can I run ubuntu on a laptop with 256Mb RAM using a USB stick? [16:09] Khronox: hardly.... use xubuntu rather [16:09] Khronox: probably not.. xubuntu maybe [16:10] thankx I will [16:10] Mb or MB? :P [16:10] jsquared: bits vs bytes [16:10] I don't think you can run any flavor of Ubuntu with 16 MB of RAM ;) [16:10] er, 32 [16:11] i have ubuntu of my system and only 384 MB ... ;O) [16:11] ubuntu could run in 32mb of ram ? [16:11] jsquared: I overlooked that thinking that I havent' see a laptop with 16 MB's of ram ever.. except maybe in the early 80's [16:11] how? [16:11] realsifo: a minimal install without gui [16:11] hi ! [16:11] i think if you use online the text / shell install it works [16:12] yeah, if you stick to shell it's perfectly doable [16:12] ow [16:12] a GUI will hose your page cache [16:12] ... as will hal and avahi and all those fancy modern services [16:13] hi, what's the correct way of switching to super user in ubuntu? (i remember "sudo su" was not reccommended, but i can't remember the correct syntax). [16:13] aar: sudo -i i think [16:13] !sudo [16:13] aar: get a root shell with sudo -s or sudo -i [16:13] 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) [16:13] <_delirium> stefg: this is weird - i rebooted and it started fine, whilst i had added that module to the blacklist i was unable to run update-initramfs from the live cd! [16:13] danbhfive, stefg: thanks! === me is now known as Guest50002 [16:14] <_delirium> stefg: anyways just ran update-initramfs rebooted and it started up fine without loading that module [16:14] _delirium: this fake-raid pci card might be misbehaving and/or confuse the bios... If you ask me: get rid of it, connect everything to the mobo and use plain mdadm softraid === CShadowRun is now known as cshadowrun [16:15] Wanna install a few games like alien arena, openarena and hedgewars, thing is i only made my root quite small, only 1.4gig free, as i wanted a large /home... any way to install these to my home instead of root? im using the debs from getdeb.net [16:15] <_delirium> stefg: well I have used it for years with no problems until now - older version of Ubuntu, FreeBSD, Windows XP and Vista [16:16] <_delirium> stefg: out of interest - why do you call it a fake raid card? [16:16] _delirium: the CPU does the RAID, not the h/w controller itself [16:17] <_delirium> jsquared: hmm interesting, how can I tell when im buying such a card? [16:17] I'm a newbie and have a cp question. Can someone help? [16:17] jratliff: ask .. if someone knows the answer they will [16:18] <_delirium> Scunizi: thanks for your help :-0 [16:18] <_delirium> :-) [16:18] <_delirium> stefg: thanks also for the help dude [16:18] _delirium: np :) [16:18] _delirium: if it doesn't advertise "hardware RAID" it probably doesn't have a dedicated controller. this is less common nowadays because of price pressure on h/w components [16:18] _delirium: if i understand right it has no cpu on it, so it's nothing but a cludge to present a raid array as a single disk to *win*-type OS's ... the raid calculations are still done by the cpu, so you're better off using mdadm (which isn't dependant on a special piece of hardware, but will work in any box) [16:19] cp -r /media/fatdata/flac/ ./ copies all subdirectories and files from /media/fatdata/flac/ to the current directory. [16:19] if the kernel image and initrd are in the /boot directory, why would i have a kernel panic? [16:19] trialman: wrong/incompatible/corrupted image? [16:20] I just want to copy the jpg files and try cp -r /media/fatdata/flac/*.jpg ./ [16:20] But I get cp: cannot stat `/media/fatdata/flac/*.jpg': No such file or directory [16:20] trialman: why would its location matter? [16:20] jratliff: remove the * and try again [16:20] jsquared, compiles without errors, make install completed without errors, same with installing the modules. [16:20] Hi how to make khelpcenter autostart as a service not with the Gui [16:20] danbhfive, the images are supposed to be in /boot? [16:20] cp: cannot stat `/media/fatdata/flac/jpg': No such file or directory [16:20] jratliff: actually remove the *. no need for either. [16:21] trialman: is that all the information you get? just a kernel panic? [16:21] am i supposed to run mkinitramfs or something? [16:21] trialman: well, a kernel panic means your kernel is found, it runs, but then it crashes [16:21] hi there [16:21] hmm...suppose i'll do it it again. trying to run ath5k [16:21] khelpcenter claims is not running when i click help [16:21] _delirium: as an interesting side note: with mdadm you could use different raid levels on your parititons ... say raid 10 for your system and working data, but a raid-5 for the backup parition. This can't be done with fake-raid controllers which take a full disk, not a partition [16:21] is there any tut on setting up mysql with ubuntu ? [16:21] Scunizi - still not working. [16:21] im unable to create my database [16:21] :S [16:21] am new to ubuntu saver and am faicing problem to mount flash on it? [16:22] jratliff: try removing the -r with the old command [16:22] HugoDaniel1, : official website of mysql [16:22] jratliff: what directory are you in when you are issuing this command? what does ./ represent [16:22] /media/fatdata/temp [16:22] jratliff: you want to copy all files and subdirectories in directory A to directory B? [16:22] so guys, i went t odo my installation on my flash drive [16:22] rebooted [16:22] my machine [16:22] when it got to the installation stage, it didn't show any partitions to install on :( , even tho the memory stick was in the machine. Any one else have this problem ? [16:22] Not all files, just the jpgs. [16:22] CokeNCode: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:22] HugoDaniel1, : or just select it from synaptic [16:23] jratliff: ah. but only *.jpgs in that directory, not in subdirectories? [16:23] I am trying to copy jpgs from /media/fatdata/flac and all subdirectories to the current folder. [16:23] how to make khelpcenter autostart? in kubuntu [16:24] and also in ubuntu ? [16:24] ah. cp can't do recursive specific copy, I don't think [16:24] is there a specific channel support for ath5?k? [16:24] could someone take a look at my log to see if they know why my external hd isnt working with ubuntu?? [16:24] ath5k?* [16:24] trialman: whats wrong? [16:24] ath5???? lol [16:24] jsquared: I'm new to IRC and this is very confusing to follow. Is there a less crowded place to chat? [16:24] trying to get a kernel to boot so it'll support ath5k [16:24] mathousalix: ask any kubuntu questions in #kubuntu please. :) [16:24] how to mount flash in ubuntu saver? [16:25] pop79, : nice ok [16:25] jsquared: jratliff you could use find and then pass the results to cp to do the copy.. I don't know the syntax but it's possible. [16:25] jratliff, find /media/fatdata/flac -iname "*.jpg" -type f -exec cp -t . {} + [16:25] There is a nice graphical disk usage gizmo- what's it called / what menu is it hidden in? [16:25] trialman: are you using intrepid? if so, try installing linux-backports-modules [16:25] Hello. I've a little problem. My "run now" button in kcron is always disabled. How to reenable it ? [16:25] jratliff: unop's got what you want, I believe. [16:25] !who | jratliff jsquared [16:25] jratliff jsquared: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:25] 8.10? [16:26] what command can convert jpg to gif? (or what command line tool)? [16:26] Zzeiss: baobab [16:26] is there any difference from using codeweaver instead of wine? [16:26] yabuk, convert from imagemagick [16:26] yabuk: convert from imagemagick [16:26] just use the search button in nautilus [16:26] what unop said ;) [16:26] what do green files mean on ls -l? [16:26] ubottu: how can I see just the messages to me? [16:26] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:26] Anybody know who to turn on ZeroConf for SMB? It seems to be working for every other service but SMB. I am on 8.10 [16:26] yabuk: maybe "convert" [16:26] yuabuk: many options.. Gimp can do it. [16:26] trialman: 8.10 = intrepid [16:26] E: Couldn't find package linux-backports-modules [16:26] jsquared: thanks [16:26] yabuk: convert pr0n.jpg pr0n.gif [16:26] <_delirium> stefg: okay thanks, will eventually be moving those disks to a OpenSolaris ZFS NAS hopefully - http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=42 [16:26] jratliff, nautilus, search button, type jpg and you can select all and copy to where-ever [16:27] trialman: try tab completion [16:27] yabuk: sudo apt-get install imagemagick .. then.. convert .. works great. but not changing pdf's to tif or other type of "pic" file [16:27] any body knows how to mount flash in ubuntu saver? [16:27] unop: Thanks, but I can't use wildcards with cp to copy just certain files? cp /dir1/*.jpg /dir2 [16:28] trialman: if you have the -generic kernel installed, then you should get the -generic version of lbm, I think [16:28] jratliff, that works for *.jpg in /dir1/ only not those in subdirectories of /dir1/ [16:28] trialman: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic [16:29] join #mediawiki [16:29] danbhfive, so what if i'm compling a kernel with the wireless extensions? [16:29] Anyone with Zeroconf experience not working with SMB [16:29] ? [16:29] jratliff: ".../*.jpg" means "all things in the specified directory matching the pattern *.jpg" [16:30] what laptop computer do you recommend that is fully compatible with ubuntu? [16:30] jratliff: since files in subdirectories that match that pattern aren't in that directory, you don't get them picked up =/ [16:30] trialman: sorry, I've no idea. That means you aren't using the ubuntu kernel, right? Anyway, here is the bug report for the ubuntu kernel: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/259157 [16:30] !hardware | epsac [16:30] epsac: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [16:30] What part of Ubuntu is actually Ubuntu?

[16:31] can someone attempt to help me access my external hd? from the log i can tell that ubuntu detects the hard drive i cant seem to access it... [16:31] There's the GUI and then there's the core part that runs underneath, what's that called? [16:31] dmphotography: it's not the parts... it's the sum of all parts which makes up ubuntu [16:31] dmphotography: Ubuntu is the whole as pieced to gether from other projects.. [16:31] is there a log for vino-server (or vinagre)? i can't connect to a remote machine (authentication problems) and can't figure out the problem. [16:31] im having some real stresses with mysql on ubuntu, can someone help me out plz ? [16:31] dmphotography: same with any other distro.

Any suggestions? :) [16:32] I did CTRL+ALT+Backpace and that restared the GUI part. [16:32] Dethray: eeebox? [16:32] dmphotography: yes.. one of the benefits.. BSOD in windows takes everything down.. not so in ubuntu [16:32] any help guys new install and I am locked out not sure what passwords or username to put it [16:32] Dethray: atheros! [16:32] oops [16:32] Nah, regular laptop [16:33] Owner_: on install it asked you for your user name and password.. you don't remember? [16:33] it did not [16:33] I do like atheros very much, anyone will do? [16:33] Dethray: http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/net/wireless/cards.html [16:33] Owner_: we should let you reinstalll... and this time remeber what you put in for user and password :-) [16:33] http://ath5installation.blogspot.com/ [16:33] it seems that the ubuntu packager is messing things up (again) [16:33] Cool thank you :) [16:33] But how was that so that only the GUI froze and not the underlying processes?

[16:34] linux is hard to use thanks any way [16:34] I shall check it out [16:34] <_delirium> cheers [16:34] jratliff, nautilus search...easy peasy [16:35] dmphotography: the gui is a collection of processes seperate from the underlying system.. if it freezes the remaining part of the system remains.. thus you can run a server with no monitor, keyboard, mouse etc.. [16:35] anyone available to help me with my external hard drive problem? [16:35] deany: That will find them. Will it copy them? [16:35] dusting: run dmesg in a term and put that to pastebin [16:35] BulBulRed: How did you add the extra HD? [16:35] when you select em all and do COPY yes [16:35] error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' (i keep getting this error message when i try to setup the mysql root passwd) [16:35] trialman: well, you might as well give lbm a shot. It won't mess up your attempt to compile your own kernel, and it might get your ath5k working. Worth a shot? [16:35] and paste into whatever folder you nwat [16:35] want* [16:36] dmphotography: i added the hard disk in the pc: popped a sata cable in and power cable [16:36] and started the pc [16:36] danbhfive, lbm? [16:36] Ok, as a spare HardDrive? [16:36] no i formatted it as fat [16:36] HugoDaniel, "(using password: NO)" means mysql thinks the password you are supplying is invalid. what command are you using there? [16:36] trialman: the package I was telling you about earlier, Linux-Backports-Modules [16:36] it is used as a storage disk [16:36] oh right. [16:36] Using Intrepid. Anyone know how to get working SMB shares to announce themselves via ZeroConf? I used to just work automatically on previous versions..... [16:37] yah,it's cpmiling right now [16:37] unop: im using the usual mysqladmin -u root password newpwd [16:37] BulBulRed: Go into your BIOS settings and make sure it's not set to boot from that Hard Drive first. [16:37] danbhfive, but once i make the kerenel and do a make install, do i have to run a mkinitramfs comand or something? [16:37] BulBulRed: It looks like it's scanning the new hard drive first for the boot manager. [16:38] dmphotography: does that matter? grub should know which drive holds windows? (maybe i am wrongà [16:38] i will check it at once [16:38] !paste > dusting [16:38] dusting, please see my private message [16:38] BulBulRed: Well, Grub is more for Linux than Windows.

I am learning about the wireless Card issues fast. I thought I had it all solved, but I have a new problem... Is there anyone who can help? [16:38] HugoDaniel, try this instead. dpkg -l | awk '/mysql/{print $2}' | xargs sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow # you'll be prompted to set a new root password [16:38] i also noticed that BOOT folder and BOOTMGR was on my "data2" disk [16:39] BulBulRed: If that fails, fix the boot with your Vista Installation disk. [16:39] i read on UbuntuForums that it should be cut and pasted onto the Vista partition [16:39] is this an optin to try out? [16:39] PMEDUB: whats your question? [16:39] I have a netgear, that automatically loaded a STA driver (so I am not using the windows Driver). It connect to wireless networks, but only for a couple minutes before it disconnects and reconnects. It does this constantly. Should I use the windows drivers? [16:39] danbhfive, hmm, done it a few times on linux, several times on the BSD's, a bit different. [16:39] fix it how? "restore windows installation" ? [16:40] hello to all I would like to know how can I write with the mouse on the Destop leaving strips of fire P.s I speak Italian [16:40] and english apparently [16:40] BulBulRed: I'm not sure about copying the boot manager. No, you have the option to repair windows, but this will also mess up the GRUB Boot Manager, which you will need to use your LiveCD to restore it after you get Windows working again. [16:41] use the translator [16:41] Hey, seems something went horribly wrong during an installation, ubuntu has rewrote things it shouldnt have and now the hard drive in my laptop is unable to have the partitions removed or rewrote to. Does anyne know of a good disk scrubber on the live cd I can use? [16:41] thanks unop, it worked ;) [16:41] stefg, http://paste.ubuntu.com/118502/ [16:41] BulBulRed: I personally recommend formattting the new drive to a Linux format, such as ext3. [16:41] HugoDaniel, :) [16:41] nike95: install compiz config settings manager and enable the "fire" option [16:41] BulBulRed: That way Windows ignores it. [16:41] ok [16:41] it isn't supose to ignore it... my brother and siter boot this pc from windows [16:42] and like to access the data drives from that OS as well [16:42] but ok: thanks for the info: i will try some things out [16:42] brb [16:42] hello? [16:42] dusting: have you tried a different usb port already? is this a disk without external power? it might starve from having not enough current from the USB port [16:43] Ok, back to what I was inquiring about. . . . what other distros have the same core as Ubuntu? [16:43] Isn't Ubuntu built off of Debian? [16:43] anyone? [16:43] yah [16:43] stefg, yes i've tried my other ports and the drive has its own power supply...also it works perfectly with my vista pc and my mac...

[16:50] dmphotography: what do you mean by 'similar'? Debian shares quite a bit of internals with Ubuntu (as Ubuntu is basically derived off Debian) [16:51] Thanks everyone. [16:51] anyone want to help me with a bad PROFTPD install? [16:51] jhonnyboy: but dist-upgrade will NOT take you from say 8.04 to 8.10 .. sudo apt-get upgrade looks for packages needing upgrading. [16:51] !anyone | Digitalcheffe [16:51] Digitalcheffe: 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? [16:51] hello [16:51] raboof: Well Debian is freakin huge to DL. [16:51] dusting: to make a long story short: you are suffering from a known kernel bug with drives which report incorrect geometry information. Ther's work underway to fix it, but at the moment you could either try the dirty workarounds or just wait... [16:51] rukudave I do not understand [16:52] dmphotography: you can download a netinstall cd and then only select the packages you need [16:52] i figured there was to much traffic in here , but ok [16:52] dusting: you might try pci=nomsi on the kernel line [16:53] raboof: Well what all does it come with from the full download? Everything? [16:53] im getting an error trying to run the GADMIN-PROFTPD [16:53] help me please [16:53] omg [16:53] dmphotography: sorry, i'm not quite sure what you're asking [16:53] nike95: you have next to your Ctlr button a windows button that is the supper button [16:53] Digitalcheffe: There's an easy fix for that. [16:53] hey guys I just posted this yesterday and was wondering if anyone here knows what happened becuase this was fine last week https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/329592 [16:53] the section containing the b43 drivers has nothing in it [16:53] ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [16:53] ok [16:53] failed to execute child process "su-to-root" [16:54] raboof: Nevermind. I was just wondering why it was so huge. [16:54] nike95: so you get fire?? [16:54] dmphotography: yeah what is it [16:54] Digitalcheffe: Yeah, you need to download a different version. [16:54] ok? [16:54] sudo apt-get intall? [16:54] digitalcheffe: Give me a second and I'll get you the link. [16:54] thanks [16:55] stefg, thanks for the assistance [16:55] Hi there! I have a big problem: I just changed my user so that he cannot administrate the computer... and now I can't do anything! Change it back, install software, etc. I'm using Ubuntu 8.10. How can I go around this? [16:55] no [16:55] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=970110&highlight=gadmin-proftpd [16:55] It was an accident... btw. [16:55] :( [16:55] Look on the second page. [16:55] ( [16:56] so i guess the firmware doesnt exist? [16:56] because google knows nothing of it's existance [16:56] nike95: you have to hold down the two keys and at the same time press mouse1 and move the mouse [16:56] -file ~/.irssi/logs/logconv.log -regex elementz -levels -public -notices -msgs [16:56] ok [16:57] Digitalcheffe: The first post on the second page is what you need. [16:57] meoblast, sorry I didnt see what that was about can you repeat? :) [16:57] meoblast, im not an expert. i was messing with it the other day. [16:57] viajador: how did you do that exactly? [16:57] what exactly you trying to do [16:57] home>.kde>share>apps>amarok right? if i deleted the amarok folder that is inside apps folder that is inside share folder that is inside .kde folder that is inside home folder, would that make it that i could start over in amarok so it could connect to my ipod ? [16:58] ok guys i got a problem with 8.10 on my desktop. [16:58] jsquared: I was changing my user so that he could use the scanner (why isn't that enabled by default, btw?) and clicked the wrong checkbox. [16:58] tchmnkyz, what is the problem [16:58] viajador: right, but what did you actually uncheck? [16:58] every 10 - 15 days my X will freez up and i cant do nothing. once i ctl+alt+backspace out of it to reload X it is fine for another 10+ days. [16:59] kinda getting annoying now [16:59] nike95: sorry, i was afk, "super" is the key with the window$-logo on it (by default) [16:59] tchmnkyz, mm which video card? [16:59] jsquared: Administrate Computer, I guess. [16:59] OK [16:59] Nvidia 7800 GS [16:59] tchmnkyz: anything in your ~/.xsession-errors ? [16:59] sorry 7600 GS [16:59] tchmnkyz, do you know the driver version? glxinfo | grep version [16:59] nike95: it worked?? [16:59] NO [16:59] I just installed 8.10, and I'm trying to install wotlk under wine. Wine v 1.1.14 .. however, after scrolling to the bottom of the EULA, the accept button isn't enabled. Google has a fix, but I'm already on a newer version of wine than google suggests. Any ideas? [17:00] 1.4 on the version [17:00] and hes there was an error [17:00] nike95: ... if you want to know more you should visit #compiz-fusion [17:00] http://pastebin.com/m2eb97d2c [17:00] o yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [17:00] tchmnkyz, no in a terminal type glxinfo | grep verson or simply highlight the command here and middle click inside the terminal window to paste [17:00] if i deleted the amarok settings folder what would that do [17:00] Hi, do you know how to turn off the cursor blink in the terminal? [17:00] it worked [17:00] i did that [17:00] thanks [17:00] it says 1.4 [17:00] nike95: ;-) [17:01] ncfi1013_: instead of deleting it rename it and see what happens [17:01] the nvidia version is 2.1.2 [17:01] sorry [17:01] tchmnkyz, then your video driver is not installed properly [17:01] viajador: so you can still get to Users and Groups, but now you can't click "Unlock"? [17:01] jsquared: no, I can't even go to users and groups. [17:01] because amarok is not connecting my ipod [17:02] tchmnkyz, how did you install the nvidia driver? [17:02] !ipod | ncfi1013_ [17:02] ncfi1013_: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [17:02] i will say the card was over heating like 2 months ago. but i replaced the fan and it has been fine since === lol is now known as Guest16475 [17:02] i let the hardware tool do it for me [17:02] how do I restrict which users are allowed to connect with ssh? [17:02] i figured it was there i should let it do it [17:02] tchmnkyz, ah oh an over heated card for what length of time was it over heating? [17:02] viajador: open a terminal and type "users-admin" [17:02] mastt, in /etc/ssh/sshd.conf [17:02] mastt: don't give them your password [17:02] about 24 hours before i fixed it [17:02] rename it to what? scunizi what does that do [17:02] viajador: what happens? [17:02] Scunizi: very helpful [17:03] mastt, /etc/ssh/sshd_config sorry [17:03] jsquared: It says I don't have permission ... [17:03] tchmnkyz, ooo that doesn sound good ah go to system/administration/hardware drivers [17:03] okay. do "sudo users-admin" [17:03] i can't connect to a remote vnc session. i'm using the same settings on my local machine for vino-server that i'm using on the remote machine's vino-server. can connect to local machine, but can't connect to remote server. any suggestions? [17:03] ncfi1013_: add .backup to the end of it.. then the program won't see it [17:03] tchmnkyz, see if the driver is active [17:04] jsquared: is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported [17:04] mastt, add something AllowUsers user1,user2,user3 [17:04] coz the recommended drivers are active [17:04] Version 177 [17:04] ubottu i already know how to do that. amarok is not connecting to my ipod. that is what i dont know how to fix [17:04] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:04] tchmnkyz, ok the command glxingo | grep revision should have brought back the read out that the 177.xx driver was being used [17:05] mastt, err AllowUsers user1 user2 user2 they are separated by spaces sorry [17:05] tchmnkyz, do you have any thing like compiz fusion installed also? [17:05] OpenGL version string: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 177.82 [17:05] it is not enabled [17:05] ok [17:05] i found it to be too buggy [17:05] viajador: yeppers, you locked yourself out =/. Reboot into recovery mode, then do "sudo adduser viajador admin" [17:05] scunizi: .amarok.backup? like that? [17:05] ncfi1013_: yes [17:06] usser: as soon as I add that, the non present users won't be able to connect? [17:06] tchmnkyz, if you are on intrepid compiz fusion itself is not buggy but.... out of curiosity enable it for a second under system/preferences/appearance/visual effects and choode "extra" [17:06] viajador: er, actually, just "adduser viajador admin" [17:06] tchmnkyz, see if it runs [17:06] mastt, what do you mean non-present? [17:06] hmm... my new laptop has an annoying blue tinted display... does anyone know of a color correction tool for Intel GM965 integrated graphics? [17:06] jsquared: i'll try that. That's why I like to have a root account :| [17:06] usser: the ones not on the list. I don't need DenyUsers * or something? [17:06] viajador: the perils of root can far outweigh the benefits [17:06] it wont right now cuz i have dual screens in xinerama [17:07] viajador: of course, one could just argue that you should be more careful when setting permissions that can wreck things :) [17:07] mastt, well yea the users not specified explicitly in AllowUsers wont be able to connect, you have to restart sshd after you edit sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [17:07] tchmnkyz, ok then what you need to do is upgrade the video driver to the 180 which is in synaptic [17:07] jsquared: absolutely ;) [17:07] what should i do to play my dvd's on my Ubuntu? [17:07] Anyone here have issues with SMB and ZeroConf on Intrepid? Looking for a fix.... [17:07] viajador: you know how to reboot into recovery mode, right? [17:07] k [17:07] what do i have to do to start amarok fresh so it will connect to my ipod scunizi? [17:07] tchmnkyz, the 177 had some serious memory leak issues which were . for the most part. fixed in the 180 [17:07] wunnymush: open your cupholder and insert the DVD ;) [17:07] wunnymush: xine perhaps? [17:07] jsquared: I'll be right back. Yes, I know! Thanks for the help. [17:07] rgr [17:07] Why can't I use a screen resolution of 1920x1200 with EnvyNG? [17:07] Is it my Xorg conf? [17:08] Heeeeyy... google is not being nice to me. Can anyone tell me where I can set trackpad settings? [17:08] is there a channel specifically for the alpha release [17:08] !dvd [17:08] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [17:08] tchmnkyz, then of course you are going to have to test this for another 10 days to see if in fact it was the driver's memore leaks or the card itself [17:08] ok, xine i should try. :) [17:08] is there a channel specifically for the alpha release [17:08] oops [17:08] bazookatooth, #ubuntu+1 but please read the topic when you get there :) [17:08] coz_: tchmnkyz 180.11 is a good improvement over the 177 driver but the 180.29 is a lot better than 180.11.. unfortunalely it's not in the repos [17:09] k [17:09] Scunizi, yes indeed [17:09] installing it now [17:09] wunnymush: i would suggest vlc but you also need certain codecs from medibuntu repos [17:09] Mimi: you can set general mouse settings in the mouse-preferences dialog (System > Preferences > Mouse) [17:09] Is EnvyNG outdated? [17:10] It seems i'm not the only one to have weird behavior with the nvidia driver [17:10] Mimi: I don't have a laptop so I'm not sure if more-specific touchpad stuff shows up there [17:10] scunizi the result of the terminal command you gave me: bash: !ipod: event not found [17:10] hi [17:10] magcius: a bit, yeah [17:10] will the xinerama ever work with compiz? [17:10] jsquared, what should I use instead? [17:10] tchmnkyz, no [17:10] that sux [17:10] i dont like having 2 sep desktops like that [17:10] tchmnkyz, you should be using twinview with that [17:10] magcius: what are you trying to do? [17:10] but then i cant drag windows between [17:10] I installed ubuntu 8.10 desktop edition some time ago. Now I want it to work as a server (ie: don't bother looking for a keyboard, mouse or screen, connect to the internet as soon as it boots, don't wait for a login screen) [17:11] like i can with xinerama [17:11] tchmnkyz: TwinView gives you a single desktop [17:11] how do I make that switch? [17:11] tchmnkyz, I use twinview and can drag anywhere to either monitor [17:11] jsquared, get the latest graphics drivers for my nVidia Quadro FX 550 and run 1920x1200 [17:11] hmmmm [17:11] i thought i tried twinview and it did not work how i wanted [17:11] jsquared, it does show something, but I was looking for more (theres only 4 basic things there) ^^ Thank you very much [17:11] ncfi1013_: what terminal command? I had ubottu give you a link [17:11] Mimi: what specifically? sometimes there's more specific utilities from your manufacturer [17:12] !nvidia | magcius [17:12] magcius: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [17:12] tchmnkyz, well you may have done it incorrectly what I do , just my preference. is to boot into the system then open nvidia settings and start twinview manually because sometimes i dont want or need dual monitors [17:12] jsquared: it worked. Thanks. [17:12] viajador: hooray! :) [17:12] jsquared: actually, it was too easy! === erle64- is now known as erle- [17:12] will try it again once this is installed [17:12] jsquared, Oh really? :O Well, I just want the cursor to move faster when I'm using t befe trackpad. I got to move 4 times [17:12] Anyone with Avahi experience? I am using it for ZeroConf, but it won't publish my SMB shares.... [17:12] jsquared: how am I protected from a user that just does this to gain admin rights? [17:12] im finally asked to install ubuntu and i can't do it [17:12] tchmnkyz, to do that you open nvidia-settings and go to X Server Display configuration [17:13] How can I create shortcuts (launchers?) on my desktop that won't choke on those long URL tracking numbers for FedEx, UPS, etc? [17:13] How can i take space off /home (sda5 logical) and make root (sda3 primary partition) bigger [17:13] !ipod | ncfi1013. that wasn't a terminal command? [17:13] tchmnkyz, then you click the secondary monitor image [17:13] viajador: all bets are always off if someone has physical access to your machine [17:13] anyone help with reading debug output from gtk-vnc? [17:13] viajador: at that point they can just take the hard drive out :) [17:13] tchmnkyz, hit the Configure button choose Twinview then click the resolution Button to adjust the resolution for that secondary monitor [17:13] viajador: you can set a boot password, though. [17:13] jsquared, sorry ~ when i type my mouse keeps clicking where im typing, messing up what I wrote, so I have to write all over again [17:13] tchmnkyz, however you will have to disable xinerama [17:13] does anyone here have a bcm-4306 working? [17:13] if im switchin from lenny i386 to amd64 i take it my home dir isnt going to be compatible correct? so i might as well move all my /home to a different drive and start fresh? [17:14] ya [17:14] ncfi1013. that wasn't a terminal command?: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [17:14] i just did that [17:14] KimK: what happens? [17:14] damn the anl.gov mirror is slow today [17:14] Hmm... Hardware Drivers says I'm running the latest drivers and yet I can't run at 1920x1200 [17:14] Mimi: try "sudo apt-get install gsynaptics" (if you have Gnome), then look in your System > PReferences and you should have a touchpad control panel applet [17:15] !command [17:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about command [17:15] !list [17:15] !bot | rookies [17:15] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [17:15] jsquared: but if I have an office computer with different user accounts, and I want only one of them to have admin rights... how can one protect the computer from something as easy as "boot in recovery mode"? [17:15] rookies: what are you looking for? [17:15] rookies: please see above [17:15] billybigrigger, thats not true, all the files stored in home are arch independent, you may as well keep it [17:15] I get the FedEx or UPS webpage that says "enter your tracking number". I have the tracking number in the URL, I don't want to re-enter it. If I paste it into the address bar, it works OK. I can't make launcher work yet. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? [17:15] i know how to "sync and add tracks to my ipod" already. i cant connect the ipod to amarok. that is my problem. [17:15] I think I reaaaaally s***d up.... formatted an external USB drive with ext3, and now my fstab shows TWO /dev/sda1... one holding / and the other one is my USB drive. the only difference is that they are showing different mount points. I'm afraid to reboot.... :( How can I fix this? [17:15] Gwkki. [17:15] I want to move my mail server.. exim4/postfix with mutt over to another ubuntu box on my home LAN. and I want to move Mailman and several lists it manages over to the same box... so that I can reformat and then install ubuntu on said box. it's running etch right now.. what's the best way to move these things? [17:15] viajador: boot password [17:16] bye [17:16] stefg: I get the FedEx or UPS webpage that says "enter your tracking number". I have the tracking number in the URL, I don't want to re-enter it. If I paste it into the address bar, it works OK. I can't make launcher work yet. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? [17:16] viajador: Well, depends on your users. But in general, if they have physical access to the machine, you cannot stop them, just slow them down a litle. [17:16] usser, yeah they're arch dependant, im switching from i386 to amd64, how are 32bit iceweasel configs going to work with 64bit configs? [17:16] viajador: you can also make life harder by removing the recovery mode line, but that's not much of a deterrent either. basically, if someone can touch your computer, your data is not secure unless everything is encrypted [17:16] jsquared: but won't they need the boot password to... boot as normal users? [17:16] KimK: show me on of the url's on pastebin [17:17] I nverthought of that :) [17:17] KimK: and what do Launchers have to do with it? [17:17] oh, there are other people using the computer? I thought you just wanted to stop casual passers-by [17:17] billybigrigger, there's nothing in those configs specific to architecture, 64 bit and 32bit iceweasel use the same config file [17:17] usser, hrmm [17:17] !vnc [17:17] I think I reaaaaally s***d up.... formatted an external USB drive with ext3, and now my fstab shows TWO /dev/sda1... one holding / and the other one is my USB drive. the only difference is that they are showing different mount points.

It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [17:17] stefg: I'll show you two. Aren't launchers like Windows shortcuts?

[17:19] KimK: actually #'d call that a bookmark [17:19] Hello everyone. Everytime i restart my system it freezes @ the BIOS screen. Anyone know why this is happening? [17:19] i have installed flash player 10 but my mozilla still has the 9! how can i remove the 9th?? [17:20] jhonnyboy: ram trouble? overclocked? bad ram timing settings ? [17:20] jhonnyboy: that could be b/c a multitude of reasons.... first thing: did you overclock? [17:20] wpgmb: If your internal drive is /dev/sda (using various partitions) Your flashdrive will be using another /dev/sdXX devicefile [17:20] stefg: I just wanted a quick way to temporarily save the tracking URLs from email to my desktop to check on them until they arrive. Is there something besides launchers I should be using? Bookmarks? I guess I view them as more permanent, but I guess they could be temporary too. [17:20] How can i take space off /home (sda5 logical) and make root (sda3 primary partition) bigger [17:20] no overclocking guys [17:20] everything is stock. [17:20] oCean: I can paste my fstab if you like? [17:21] I just finished installing Ubuntu, i am dual booting xp [17:21] wpgmb: using pastebin.. yes. [17:21] jhonnyboy: stuck at bios? or a terminal prompt? [17:21] KimK, thunderbird 3 :), its beta just yet, but it has a browser engine built in so you can watch pages from within thunderbird [17:21] KimK: nobody keeps you from having a 'temp' folder in firefox' bookmark toolbar... you coukd even d'n'd pages to there [17:21] bios [17:22] when i restart from the Ubuntu OS it freezes at the BIOS splash screen. [17:22] Doesn't happen from XP. [17:22] weird aint it? [17:22] wpgmb: fstab by the way is a configuration file. So the output of "df" command is also useful [17:22] jhonnyboy: yes.. doesn't make any sense. [17:22] oCean: pastebin 118510 [17:23] quibbler, i tried xine now, and i get a errormessage saying that the dvd is encrypted [17:23] wpgmb: pls give full link. There are many pastebin services ... [17:23] any idea what i could try? [17:23] wunnymush, you need libdvdcss2 from medibuntu [17:23] jhonnyboy: how new is your motherboard/computer.. and do you know the chipset? like intel? [17:23] "aptitude changelog PACKAGE_NAME" shows the change history for a package... is there a similar command where I can see the actual changes (the diff) for each changelog entry??

[17:26] hola.,. una pregunta...no puedo ver videos desde youtube, con mozilla 3. en ubuntu 8.04...responder en privado por favor [17:26] Scunizi: the BIOS lol [17:26] KimK: it'S not the launchers, it's the way the UPS site works... [17:26] Scunizi: It is very weird. [17:26] jhonnyboy: that's why I asked what you were actually looking at.. that's like the post screen.. do you have acpi off in the bios? [17:26] KimK: they simply don't accept deeplinking [17:26] wpgmb: okey [17:27] If I paste them into Firefox's address bar, it works fine. [17:27] FREAKING LOVELY [17:27] now the ubuntu install is broke [17:27] wpgmb: it seems like you have mounted "/boot" partition twice. Once correctly over /boot mountpoint, once at /media/USB_250G [17:27] Scunizi: Would that make a difference? I can't say if i do or not i would need to restart. [17:27] maybe those Linux haters are right [17:27] KimK: hmm... let'S see [17:27] Linux works on about 3 machines and that's it [17:28] wpgmb: doing "ls -al /media/USB_250G" will show the same output as "ls -al /boot" [17:28] Scunizi: I am going to disable the ACPI option. [17:28] oCean: correct [17:28] jhonnyboy: might.. but what's really weird is once the system goes down for a reboot from the post ubuntu has nothing to do with the machine.. no control at all. [17:28] wpgmb: so. To undo the 2nd (incorrect) mount.. just type "sudo mount /media/USB_250G" (Be sure that you are not 'on' that filesystem) [17:29] <- Old MIRC user..new to ubuntu/linux and havent been on IRC for a long while..is there any tard manuals out there so i can get back into it? [17:29] Scunizi: I know :) it is weird. [17:29] Scunizi: Let me try to disable the ACPI [17:29] jsquared: maybe you can help me with this one: I've added myself as a scanner user, but I can't acess my scanner unless I use SUDO. Any ideas? [17:29] spliffy: xchat or irssi not pidgin for irc.. manual.. use.. man [17:30] i have a rather strange and bizar problem with audacity under Ubuntu Hardy [17:30] KimK: i see... some particularly clever algorithm doesn't pass the query parameter... [17:30] thx Scunizi [17:30] wpgmb: There is only one sda1 entry in fstab, so that is not the problem. The /dev/sdd *is* your flashdrive? [17:30] hi! [17:30] who here can help me with a rather challenging problem? [17:30] spliffy: np :-).. irssi is good to learn.. it's cli.. xchat and not xchat-gnome.. [17:30] metoshade: first of all, share the problem. After that, someone might :) [17:30] !ask | metoshade [17:30] metoshade: 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. :-) [17:31] ubuntu is bothering me today [17:31] its a complex question, hard to explain [17:31] i cant install it on any computers that arent mine [17:31] i just broke a computer that isnt mine thanx to ubuntu [17:31] metoshade: if you don't state part of your question then it's tough for those that might know the answer to respond [17:31] meoblast: you can't break computers with ubuntu. Why not just state the problem/issue/question? [17:32] meoblast, ouch...... that sucks [17:32] its about audacity under ubuntu hardy: the mouse pointer doesnt function properly when hovering over a project/song [17:32] oCean: I'm still not getting rid of the fact that /boot and /media/USB_250G both reside on/dev/sda1 [17:32] metoshade: if it's really long and convoluted.. use pastebin.com to write it up and then paste it here asking for help [17:32] stefg: Great, you can see the problem too. Thanks for looking into it. And you think this problem is in Ubuntu too, right? Is there anything that can be done about it? [17:33] wpgmb: It's not that way [17:33] metoshade: do you have "effects" turned on? [17:33] metoshade: that would be the spinning cube thingy.. screen effects.. wobbly windows etc. [17:33] wpgmb: the /dev/sda1 partition (with only the files from /boot on it) is mounted twice. Have you unmounted /media/USB_250G ? [17:33] it acts normally in the rest of the UI " *and* the problem doesnt exist when the computer is viewed with remote desktop [17:33] there are no effects [17:34] its a rather old machine [17:34] metoshade: what kind of video card do you have? [17:34] why would authentication fail if i set "authentication_methods" to "[none]" for vino-server and attempt to connect without a password? [17:34] So I am trying to install the barry package for my blackberry. I added deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nafallo/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main and nafallo's pgp key and yet the ppa does not appear in synaptic. what am I doing wrong? [17:34] oCean: fixed it. thanks for your help! [17:34] unknown, the problem exists on a friends computer [17:34] KimK: my understanding is that this is a design decisison by the gnome dev's ... i'd make a folder lieke 'traking temp' in firefox' bokkmark bar and drag and drop the links there... that works, b/c no external parameters are passed [17:34] wpgmb: ok [17:34] at the moment i cant login because she isnt home [17:35] shall i write down all i know about the problem in one line? It may take a while. [17:35] metoshade: give us a quick overview [17:35] metoshade: chances are it involves the video card.. if it's nvidia and she hasn't instsalled the restriced drivers in System>Admin>hardware drivers then that might make a difference. [17:35] metoshade: quick summary [17:35] ok, just a minute [17:36] KimK: lets see if quoting ("url") works [17:36] when i try and sftp into my server, i get "subsystem request failed on channel 0". google has basically nothing on this, anyone know how I can fix it? === tabris is now known as tabris|away [17:36] ikonia: metoshade is working on a friends machine. He's not in front of it right now.. Mouse actions act wierd when hovering over Audacity [17:37] Scunizi: hard to do much if he's not with the machine [17:37] any takers on my ppa question? [17:38] jacobi, how did you add the repository? [17:39] KimK: no doesn't work... i think it's a security thing to not pass query parameters (the stuff after ? in the url) ... would make attacks quite easy, so go for the temp bookmark folder in FF [17:39] Jacobbs: did you run: sudo apt-get update [17:39] Need some help: I can only use my SCANNER with SUDO, although I'm in scanner group! [17:39] coz: I went to System Software sources. [17:39] jacobi, ok then open a terminal sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [17:40] jacobi, make sure synaptic is closed first though [17:40] jacobi, then look for your new package [17:40] coz:doing that now. [17:40] stefg: OK, thanks for looking into it. I just tried what I'm used to in Windows. But I can change to the bookmark way. Thanks again, I appreciate it very much. [17:40] I am having trouble with a older harddrive, when I try to mount it, it fails due to superblock. I don't care about the data on the HDD, is there a way to mk new superblocks altogether....removing/adding partitions and formating don't seem to affect it. I've tried XFS, ext2, and ext3 so far [17:42] coz:still not there. What I am doing wrong. When I added the deb line to third party it reloaded at that point. Can I check to see if if apt is going to the right place? [17:42] KimK: you might also look into tomboy (the notetaking applet)... i think it could be waht you want. [17:43] stefg: OK, will do. Probably available in Synaptic? [17:43] jacobi, y ou could check that you copy and pasted the entire deb string in the sources list to be sure it was copies over corretly [17:43] I think i got it...i was trying to run mke2fs -n /dev/blah but I missed the -n so it did the whole disk...it mounted ext2....woohoo.....Does that mean its fixed....thats the new question :) [17:43] coz: shouldn't I be able to type sudo apt-get barry-0.14.0~ppa1 or something from the terminal? [17:43] jacobi, well it depends open synaptic and hit search and type in barry [17:44] coz: all I get is vamp in the list [17:44] KimK: should be instralled by default ... 'add to panel...' [17:44] Hello [17:44] bash question : using this -> "for file in *.part1.rar; do unrar e $file;done" I've been able to extract multiple multi-part rars with one command , however each rar file has the same password which is requested upon the start of each extraction. What can i add to this command to parse the password from a txt file?? "for file in *.part1.rar; do unrar e -y < pass.txt;done" <- this is what i was thinking but will unrar take thi [17:44] s? [17:44] jacobi, mm then check the deb string to make sure it is correct and the other issue may be that the repo is down [17:44] coz_, much better [17:44] thnx [17:44] jacobi: sudo aptitude install barr and a tab would help you [17:44] the problem is as follows: the mouse pointer works properly in the Audacity UI except when hovering above a project/song (the blue oscilloscope). The mousepointer disappears in about 1/3 of the field in which the song is displayed. When she clicks to drop the "bar" to start songplayback from that moment, the bar is dropped somewhere else to the right in the field. When observing this with remote-desktop, i see her mouse behaving normally, [17:45] tchmnkyz, I thought you would like that better :) [17:45] my vid card runs cleaner now too [17:45] not as laggy [17:45] jacobi: sudo nano /etc/apt/sorces.list to check the apt line [17:45] tchmnkyz, yes it should nvidia has its own implimentation of xinerama [17:45] o and she doesnt have jackd installed [17:46] i still get laggy full screen video [17:46] not out of sync [17:46] but it is crappy [17:46] tchmnkyz, with which video player? [17:46] just what ever it opened it in [17:46] same problem here choppy video [17:46] tchmnkyz, well that may be totem do you have mplayer installed? [17:47] what is an easy to use yet powerful 2D animation program? synfigstudio isn't working by the way. [17:47] ya [17:47] mplayer freaked out [17:47] stefg: Yes, tomboy is already installed, and I have used the manual menu editor, but what's "add to panel..."? [17:47] kept opening and closing windows [17:47] lol [17:47] thenano:using the barr line showed several packages with barry in the name. Why doesn't synaptic pull them up? [17:47] tchmnkyz, ok open that and lets check the settings right click on the main window and go to preferences [17:47] vlc is alot better === pop79_ is now known as pop79 [17:47] tchmnkyz, under the Video tab make sure you have X11/Xv for the video [17:47] tchmnkyz, then move over to the codecs & demuxer tab [17:48] k [17:48] KimK: if you open the 'add to panel' Dialog you get a list of applets that can be ... well... added to the panel. tomboy should be listed there [17:48] tchmnkyz, video codec family = FFmpeg's libavcodec codec family audio codec family = MPEG layer-2, layer-3 [17:48] tchmnkyz, also make sure you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed [17:49] i do [17:49] tchmnkyz, then sudo apt-get install libdvdread3 gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly === erik_ is now known as Guest38827 [17:49] stefg: But where is the "add to panel..." dialog? I don't see it here. [17:49] KimK: right click on a panel... [17:49] thenano: Is it that these barry packages are not normal in someway and that synatpic is filtering them out? [17:49] already there [17:49] tchmnkyz, then sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh [17:49] hi i have just installed openbox, but there is no panel. Doesn't openbox have a panel? [17:49] mplay is crying about alsa for some reason [17:49] scunizi, ikonia, any ideas? [17:49] ardchoille, your link got the desired result, and my dvd's play well in Xine :-) Tnx [17:50] KimK: in some open space that is.. so e.g. in the middle of th top panel [17:50] need help with theme, the only affected area of gnome are the windows and the color, the theme doesnt apply to the whole gnome interface. how do i get that fixed within terminal ? [17:50] tchmnkyz, open a terminal and type alsamixer and at the top see if your card is identified properly [17:50] wunnymush: you're welcome :) [17:50] TheNano: you still there? [17:51] i ssh'd into a remote machine, it has an x server running, i want to run an X program using that server. how do i do this? i believe i have to set the DISPLAY variable, but i'm not sure what i have to set it to [17:51] it is using pulse for some reason [17:51] wunnymush: also you might want to check out mplayer, it's a popular alternative to xine [17:51] jacobi: There is alot of people hating ? synaptic , there will be another app. doing that jobb later , i can't remember the name , but aptitude is the best tool you can use [17:51] tchmnkyz, open system/preferences/sound [17:51] i never did get the audio working correctly on this system [17:51] damn builtin [17:51] tchmnkyz, check t6he sondplayback pull down and test for each [17:52] TheNano: So how do I use aptitude to install this stuff? [17:52] Nehal: if it does not just work then try putting the -X option on the ssh might help. [17:52] vigo (who apparently is no longer here), Sorry I didn't give more information, didn't seem like there was a lot of interest... Any way, I had posted to the forum and have posted a resolution: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6733762 [17:52] ardchoille, that should i certainly do :) [17:52] Is real time kernel still broken in ubuntu 8.10? [17:52] jacobi: I have tested that package manager when hardy was in beta stage , don't know why it is not in UBUNTU yet [17:52] could this behaviour be unrelated to audacity but more of a xorg problem? [17:52] or something? [17:52] jacobi: just choose one of them [17:53] k [17:53] cfedde: i believe that's if you want to run the application on a local server, i want to run it on the remote server... nevertheless, that doesn't work either [17:53] Need Help: My SCANNER only works with SUDO, although I'm in SCANNER group! [17:53] KimK: and i just found by accident that if you drop the links to the *panel* you get a working launcher there.. you can even drag it to the desktop then :-) [17:53] they area ll set to ALSA [17:53] jacobi: when tab give you alts. you car write some more letters then it will pick the one you want, or you can just write the hole name if you know it [17:53] and it works fine [17:53] just dont work [17:53] lol [17:53] tchmnkyz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:53] any recommendations for connection to an existing X session remotely since I can't seem to be able to get vino-server working properly? [17:53] i have searched the net all afternoon for similar problems but have been unable to find them [17:54] basically the program won't start unless it finds some sort of X server, although i just want it to write some logs so i don't really need the GUI at all [17:54] apart from problems with jackd and audio playback in audacity under ubunut [17:54] but no posts about mouse skipping [17:54] stefg: Aha, so a workaround appears? At least until the "security" people find out, LOL [17:55] and the problem is that i cant recreate the problem on my machine, so i cant post the problem in the ubuntu help forums [17:55] stefg: I wonder if the URL looks any different there? [17:55] the problem does however persist on her computer [17:55] Nehal: I'm not sure I understand the issue. What error are you getting? [17:55] coz got any other ideas? [17:56] Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: [17:56] tchmnkyz, not off hand but you could go to the #alsa channel I am sure they will have more options there :) [17:56] ill go and try to make a post on the forums [17:57] Nehal: that sounds like the remote X client cannot connect to the Display on the local system [17:57] k [17:57] tchmnkyz, that would be the best channel to get answers [17:57] tchmnkyz, for sound [17:58] thnx [17:58] ardchoille: mplayer is already installed, but my dvd get a error-message. [17:58] KimK: i think (just like me) the nautilus developers are desktop icon haters... desktop is space for windows, not for icons (which get covered anyway. ) *quick* launchers belong to panels [17:58] cfedde: i'm sure an X server is running because when i startx i get: Server is already active for display 0 [17:58] join # [17:58] wunnymush: what is the error msg? [17:58] and i need to get the program running on that server [17:59] Nehal: you can ssh into the remote system then start something like xterm. do you get that same error? [17:59] ardchoille: just a minute... [17:59] stefg: Yes, that's why I use the desktop for all kinds of "temporary" things (important now, get rid of later). How did you drag and drop? I tried to drag from Xchat and drop to the upper taskbar, is that right? But it didn't work. [17:59] cfedde: yeah, all programs. xcalc too [17:59] KimK: i use chatzilla... simply worked [17:59] Nehal: export DISPLAY=:0.0 works for me (running Xserver at :0 and starting 'xclock' from terminal) [17:59] /quit [17:59] Nehal: Are you trying to do X11 forwarding? ssh -X [17:59] stefg: And what exactly are you calling "the panel"? [17:59] oCean_: i tried that too [18:00] ardchoille: error-message: "Failed to connect stream: OK" [18:00] ardchoille: but i want to run the application on the remote X server, not mine [18:00] Nehal: ok [18:00] stefg: Ah, chatzilla is a Firefox plugin, isn't it? [18:00] KimK: the (usually) white bars on top and bottom of the screen (note i'm talking of gnome/ubuntu, not kde/kubuntu) [18:00] wunnymush: is mplayer seeking the correct device? [18:00] KimK: yup [18:01] hi [18:01] how do I connect to dhcp on bootup (and not when I log in to gnome)? [18:01] My friend has a desktop pc with windows me on it. I want it to have ubuntu. WHich version will run with 128 MB [18:01] ardchoille: i think so, because i right-clicked on the dvd and choosed mplayer [18:02] stefg: OK, well, thanks again for all your help, I really appreciate it. [18:02] !xbuntu [18:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about xbuntu [18:02] wunnymush: I've never tried playing a dvd in mplayer like that, I just use the mplayer ui [18:03] Greetings all [18:03] ardchoille: ok, i would try another startup-metode [18:03] ok, why would my ubuntu box be freezing during the night, twice in a row now... [18:04] wunnymush: Not sure which skin you're using for mplayer, but try clicking the "DVD" button on the player control [18:04] ardchoille: it works when i do like you said. [18:04] anom01y is this a trick question? your using a distro based on debian unstable/expirimental [18:05] wunnymush: ok, if you are more comfortable right clicking the dvd, then maybe xine would work best for you [18:05] ardchoille: yes [18:06] ardchoille: tnx for your help [18:06] yw [18:06] Azerthoth, lol, that's the best single line answer to that kind of question I've read yet [18:06] wunnymush: and thank you for letting me know about that right click and mplayer info [18:06] need some help....would someone mind ? [18:07] anom01y, but the most common cause of freezing is still memory; you should try running memtest overnight [18:07] ardchoille: :) [18:07] blufade: what's the issue? [18:07] nickrud, that would be a hardware issue then, not a software ? [18:08] anom01y, yes. in my many years of using debian unstable/experimental directly and indirectly, only a couple freezes didn't come down to faulty memory [18:09] anom01y, or binary blob video drivers, which there's nothing anyone but the manufacturers can do anything about [18:09] How do I list the partition structure in the terminal? [18:09] scream, sudo fdisk -l [18:09] Nehal, did you run xhost + on the machine running X [18:09] dose ATI support 9.04 yet [18:10] Commie_Cary, you should ask in #ubuntu+1 [18:10] Sylphid: i even get an error when running xhost [18:10] nickrud, will it also list the volume labels? [18:10] xhost: unable to open display ":0" [18:11] hi guys [18:11] Nehal, you need to run xhost + on the machine running X you cannot do it from an ssh session [18:11] scream, no. but, you can do ls -l /dev/disk/by-label ; ls -l /dev/disk/by-* will list all alternate naming [18:11] scream, well, not sure about fdisk -l showing labels, but the above will [18:11] i need to replace my sources.list [18:12] well coz with this new driver and compiz installed my mem usage is down 25% [18:12] Sylphid: aww.... :) .... is there no other way, even if i have root access? [18:12] nickrud, no fdisk-l did not and --help did not list any help for that. Also the other command worked and thank you. :) [18:12] where can i get a default sources.list for feisty [18:12] One more question for now... [18:12] aliases [18:12] I like the ls -l /dev/disk/by-label command... === c0wbol|aw is now known as c0wbol [18:12] But I don't want to have to type it all the time. [18:13] Is there an easy way to create an alias? [18:13] !feisty | jodi07 [18:13] Nehal, from my understanding xhost has to be run from the users session that started X so it can modify the appropriate Xauth file [18:13] jodi07: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [18:13] jodi07, what that means, is there are no longer any official repos for feisty [18:13] scream, does blkid /dev/sd[a-x] give you the info you want? [18:13] Sylphid: how do i know what user started X? [18:13] where can I find info on apt.conf.d ? [18:13] scream: You can add aliases to ~/.bash_aliases [18:13] Nehal, its not a problem of what user but what instance of that user [18:14] oh [18:14] hello again ; on Ubuntu 8.10 I have an NTFS drive and I went to its Properties, Drive tab, and changed "File System" to "Test" ( I didn't know what I was doing :( ) ; now I can't mount the drive to erase that setting [18:14] nickrud thanks [18:14] benacke, /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/configure-index.gz [18:14] !update [18:14] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [18:14] Nehal, you may be able to do some finagling to get xhost + to run on X startup after a reboot [18:14] itachi, that command did not do anything "blkid /dev/sd[a-x]". But the earlier command by nickrud works fine. [18:15] Nehal, however i have not tested this so i dont know how well it would work [18:15] i really shouldn't reboot the machine [18:15] that's ok [18:15] ah, blkid has been improved, shows labels. Don't remember it doing that before [18:16] nickrud: ah, that seems to be new [18:16] does anyone know how i can get vlc to support wmv3 and wmap ? === tanner_ is now known as tanner [18:17] Nehal, do you have vnc on the remote machine? [18:17] i don't know, perhaps [18:18] !vnc | nehal [18:18] nehal: 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 [18:18] during installation of ubuntu there's a stage in which partitions are created. what are the default partitions for the whole disk automatic creation of partitions? which are the primary and which are the logical? there's one / and one swap, right? [18:18] Can I place the alias command in the .bashrc file (I don't have a ./bash_aliases in my home directoy. [18:18] does ubuntu have zfs r/w support? [18:19] scream: yes [18:19] scream: yep, sure. Or create the .bash_aliases file [18:19] cow_2001: correct [18:19] scream: you can make a ~/.bash_aliases or add aliases to ~/.bashrc - your choice [18:19] scream: create your .bash_aliases file [18:19] who here can help me with a rather challenging problem? details can be found here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1070731 [18:19] scream: then uncomment the alias block in .bashrc [18:20] ok [18:20] Okay so i just changed my WM to fluxbox and now everytime i reconfigure it i lose the ability to left click. Any ideas? [18:20] good morning (or evening) dayo [18:21] okay [18:21] here we go. [18:21] dayo: which one is the primary and which one is the logical? i'm trying to use testdisk to recover my partition table and i need to choose between those two mysterious titles for each of the partitions.

[20:09] chuckc: right, that's why I asked if you're after it for something specific [20:09] thats why you get update messages [20:09] chuckc: utorrent/wine is fine (utorrents webgui is great). but you only need a lightweight windowmanger for wine and utorrent [20:10] jsquared: well yeah but how does it know the latest version? is there a list of all the latest ones or something or does it parse every package file?

I found the solution once before (disabling some setting in CUPS) but can't seem to find it again. [20:10] stefg: thankyou, will check out [20:11] jsqared: will check out deluge as well [20:11] chuckc: there are plugins that give it the features of utorrent (scheduling, web UI, etc.) [20:11] is there a way to make perform when i connect to xchat so it would set me modes and auth ?

I would like to have some tracking ability like this too, but my router is a pretty old celeron [20:57] sfire: pretty much [20:57] Anyone here running Ubuntu on a PS3= [20:57] it would uninstall samba [20:57] I am 8.10 64 bit [20:57] heh [20:57] that'd be a great distro [20:57] hey does anyone know what Netx is? [20:57] cpk1: you'd better have a decent system to run it on, it does a LOT [20:57] I have created a partition. I have mounted this ext3 partition to /logs I have also added this to fstab. I would like to change the location to where all the logs are stored to /logs Is there a GUI or easy terminal way to do this? [20:57] ? [20:57] cpk1: it's mostly memory intensive... i'd suggest 1gig of ram or more [20:57] my favorite tracking tool is urlsnarf [20:58] scream: It might be easier simply to mount that file-system to /var/logs [20:58] Gnea, so my 433 celeron is out? =( [20:58] cpk1, try and see? [20:58] you can run ubuntu on a ps3? [20:58] cpk1: I wouldn't trust it [20:58] Gnea: nothing happens.... there is no bootloader [20:58] windowsrefund: is this for internet tracking? [20:58] Gnea, I see, is cacti any easier on the system? [20:58] IntuitiveNipple, I see. Once mounted all the files there were in the /var/logs will still be there, but hidden? [20:58] cpk1, a 433 celeron is powerful enough to do anything you want [20:58] cyka: then you probably need to get grub on there [20:58] I just get reboot and select proper boot device... or insert boot mmedia and press a key! [20:59] cpk1: yes [20:59] scream, you could look at something like: mv /var/log/* /log/ ; rm -rf /var/log ; ln -s /log /var/log === BfrOv3rfl0w_ is now known as BfrOv3rfl0w [20:59] you'd want to do this from single user mode so nothing is depending on /var/log to be there [20:59] that will creat a symbolic link from /var/log -> /log [21:00] anyone recommend a cheap/stable hardware setup for Ubuntu?

(intel) [21:01] scream, mount it to /log/ initially, copy everything over then remount it to /var/log [21:01] scream: If it were me, I'd start from the recovery console to a root prompt (to avoid unwanted dameons running) mount the new file-system to /mnt/logs/, stop sysklogd daemon, then move the files from /var/logs/* into /mnt/logs/, unmount /mnt/logs/ and mount it to /var/logs/, restart sysklogd, then add an entry into /etc/fstab [21:02] chthp, yup, ubuntu hardware support is probably better than vista these days [21:02] hi [21:02] niku, aha, great news, so what about hardware like this: http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2009/01/15/msi-nettop-d130-is-j.html [21:02] anything special I have to do to get video capture, through firewire, working?

However, suddenly it stopped working, and I haven't tried to make any changes. This started with an attempt to access my server through ssh, and it told me that the host rsa key did not match, which was strange.

[22:17] ehsanul, Sounds either like someone messing with your connection (beware of MITM attacks!), or a server issue. [22:17] or I don't know how to unzip file [22:17] I'm using sudo zcat to extract files to my flash drive to create a usb startup disc. It's been running for roughly 30 minutes. Is this unusual? [22:18] sunset, please give us some examples [22:18] cpk1: it doesn't [22:18] slart: how do i update ssh? [22:18] cpk1: and apt-get --reinstall install initramfs-tools doesn't bring it back [22:18] dupondje, normally I would say purge the package and then install but not sure if that would work [22:18] wich sux :p [22:18] ok [22:18] unop: hmm.. I'm not very fond of vim but if it gets the job done I think I can live with it =) [22:18] got sound working after initial ubuntu install, upgraded to Intrepid with no issues, used a "ctrl alt backspce" command to fix a screen issue (little dashes), and sound is no longer working. help?

[22:19] slart: it was working 2 days ago, so that's not the problem [22:19] ehsanul, Are you the server admin? If you didn't do anything to cause that key alert then I'd be suspicious.

[22:23] hi dudz [22:23] CDrone``: cheer up... installing windows again isn't so hard once you get the install media === Dimebag_D is now known as Ephram [22:23] roccity_: windows ones open in command prompt wich linux lacks [22:23] burkmat: no, it really isn't. that's why i highly doubted any attack. we were mainly just using it to host a git repository and a couple of blogs [22:24] Slart: i'll be back to u , am sure i'll fail in smth [22:24] :D [22:24] will__: if you use a console app in linux it will open in a terminal [22:24] burkmat: the issue is that the server will not accept the password i provide [22:24] will__: use debian if you want a text-based installer. :-) [22:24] cool, but i dont understand....how can linux to be againster viruses? [22:24] roccity_: thank you [22:25] balrog_: debian? [22:25] burkmat: i get the same error that when trying it without any connection at all [22:25] ehsanul, Well, that's disturbing as it could be a possible attacker changing it... [22:25] oh **** just deleted my amil accounts :( [22:25] ehsanul, Wait, you get the same error without internet connection? oO [22:25] burkat: yes, strange right? [22:26] burkmat: permission denied (publickey,password) [22:26] skeletal: the developers simply fix vulnerabilities fast. vulnerabilities still exist, they just decrease rapidly over time, so it ends up not being worth a hacker's effort to crack a linux machine. instead, they go find an easily hackable windows machine to exploit. [22:26] ehsanul, ...that sounds... really odd. oO [22:26] alright, i have a wireless card, for some reason, died. on a 8.10 installation, using the latest svn madwifi's. So i pop in a old 710 cd, load it, svn the latest madwifi's, card works. go back to the 8.10 installation, card doesn't work. Am i mising something? [22:27] burkmat: indeed. i've been scouring google with no luck. [22:27] anybody have experience getting cloned dual head to work on an intel gm965?

[22:27] ehsanul, unless... your ssh is trying to connect to your own box with the remote server login details... not sure why it would... [22:27] madmike, f7 will take you back to your first x screen [22:27] oops === fernando is now known as FernandoF [22:27] ehsanul, but that would just give you something like 22: connection refused, wouldn't actually handshake... afaik. [22:27] Hi! I'm trying to get virtual desktops to work on Ubuntu 8.10, and I'd like to send one workspace to a projector, and keep the other separate (so, a bit different than extending a monitor). Unfortunately, I haven't found anything about Xinerama/TwinView that would let me do this. Is it possible? [22:27] mads, f7 will take you back to your first x screen [22:28] balrog__: im using intel for dual screen [22:28] Could anyone here help answer a few question regarding vmware?

[22:29] ehsanul, hmm... try running `nslookup prophetpiggy.com` and see what it returns. [22:29] i've had to remove the plugin, because firefox crashes on just about every flash site i view (epiphany too) [22:29] Hello, does ubuntu already comes with xorg-x11 or xfree86 library?.. how can i check if a particular library is already installed? help please [22:29] viktorkAZ, what do you mean exactly? ubuntu install by default installs X [22:30] LogicFan: the alpha has plenty of issues, hence why it's an alpha [22:30] roccity_: does output cloning work? [22:30] LogicFan, yes, i was just seeing if anything i particular to the FF 3.0.6 update, since i had less trouble with previous version of FF [22:30] oops ikonia, meant for you === Wunderbar is now known as satansaunt [22:30] What's a good web site to book mark in firefox to introduce a MS Windows user to ubuntu, and ideally, openoffice?

[22:32] Hello there! [22:32] balrog__: then tci kwhere it says mirror [22:32] mountainma1, iwconfig [22:32] LogicFan: I don't believe the solution to my problem is going to be there.

[22:34] cpk1 - put essid number in there? [22:34] roccity_: right. the reason im here is because that didnt work (well). the native resolution is 1280x800, and its displaying it at 1024x768. the other display is a hidef tv. is there a way to specify a resolution for cloning that isnt 4x3 aspect ratio?

I can't get my built in mic to work. And I can only get my built in webcam to work with Ekiga. [22:37] Uldtot, did you check the link I gace you from launchpad about the package being broken for Interpid and how to work around it [22:37] rip_:didn't look a the pic but you're probably talking about AWN.

[22:38] roccity_: i see the panel applet, but that doesnt let me do anything. i suppose i simply use extended desktop instead. thanks for your help! [22:38] I'm booted from a live CD and am trying to back up files to my external drive, but I'm encountering quite a few files I do not have permission to read.

[22:39] just curiosity === ememessien is now known as Wundervar [22:39] Wunderbar, haha, I feel ya === Wundervar is now known as Wunderbar [22:40] hey i need a download link to "wine" [22:40] hi [22:40] i cant find it :O [22:40] www.winehq.com [22:40] hi there :P [22:40] i think [22:40] cpk1 - sorry, wpa..., no access to router, quotes doesn't work, just comes up antoher command line [22:40] CDrone``: wine is in the repositories (like all the other software) [22:40] !wine | CDrone`` [22:40] CDrone``: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help [22:40] CDrone``: try get deb [22:40] i cant login to my ssh server, why is this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/118622/ [22:40] CDrone``: getdeb.org [22:40] shutterbrandon: haven't had issues with my built-in cam, but i have stereo mic's and that i have not gotten to work yet. it doesnt really matter if its built in or not, you just need to know what kind of camera it is. try lsusb in terminal to see if you camera is listed in it [22:40] or getdeb.net [22:40] damn it [22:40] CDrone``: there's no need for getdeb, use the official repositories (see ubottu's link) [22:41] ur really really something else tha #linux [22:41] rip, it works with ekiga [22:41] but nothing else [22:41] mountainma1, sudo iwconfig essid "my network has spaces" should work... [22:41] the guys there only mock me when i ask about anything there [22:41] shutterbrandon: then you know your camera works just fine, its an issue with the application that you're trying to use. is it skype by chance? [22:41] B10S: you can. Read what the message says [22:41] mountainma1, and is your wireless device really eth0? [22:42] Actually no. have not tried skype. There is a feature on myspace that allows you to take a picture. [22:42] And when I click that it cant find the camera [22:42] shutterbrandon: oh, so its like a java web app? [22:42] burkmat: now my question would be which is the best way to install a new library :) ? [22:42] yes, but also the app "Cheese" doesn't work on here. [22:42] just shows static [22:43] err "easycam" [22:43] cpk1 - according to iwconfig - yes, eth0 is the only one that has any data attached to it [22:43] jrib: what if i type in the wrong name a then type "Yes" after? [22:43] rip: Actually yes, it only seems to be a problem with the java applet === iron_man_ftw is now known as away_man_ftl [22:44] what to click there : http://winehq.org/site/download ? [22:44] rip: I just checked the easycam again and it works [22:44] CDrone``: nothing. Use System -> Administration -> Synaptic to install wine [22:44] CDrone``, sudo apt-get install wine (in the terminal) [22:44] i think i done it wrong before and it added some keys..?? [22:44] shutterbrandon: then you need to find out how to configure your java installation to identify your camera, its an issue with java. I have not run into that yet with mine (haven't tried) so i'm not sure where to start on there. try google, ubuntu forums or maybe there is somebody else in here that has experience with it [22:45] burkmat: which is th easier way to install a new library? [22:45] viktorkAZ, apt-get probably. [22:45] rip::: thank you, I will look around [22:45] mountainma1, and using the quotes the way I showed doesnt work? [22:46] viktorkAZ, Heh, sorry about the delay. Saw viktorkAZ_ disconnect and sat here waiting for you to reconnect, didn't realize you were still here :p [22:46] too packed in here [22:46] jrib: i couldn't get that [22:46] im back [22:46] :( [22:46] i was disconnected [22:46] did you get my question? [22:46] CDrone``: be more specific. What exactly did you try and what exactly happened? [22:46] exodus_ms > read all of it now. and done what i could do. (all :D) still cant install ebox-software. missing esofttool [22:47] burkmat: yeah i try apt-get of course but its not working for me.. for example when i try to install x11-libs.. states that E: Couldn't find package x11-libs [22:48] jrib: i cant understand ur words , i just need some programmes for running exe files on ubuntu [22:48] viktorkAZ, try `sudo apt-get update` first, and if that doesn't work maybe it's not in the repos? [22:48] CDrone``: well I didn't say anything technical, I'm just asking you to explain to me what exactly you tried that did not work. [22:48] CDrone``: All you need is wine - www.winehq.org [22:49] ugh, please stop recommending winehq.org [22:49] CDrone``, open a terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) type this into the Terminal sudo apt-get install wine You will then see Wine installed under Applications [22:49] it seems im having problem with my RTC, does anybody know how to check whether if it is the clock battery or some software problem ? [22:49] jrib, what is the problem exactly? you need to run windows software in ubuntu? [22:49] LogicFan: no, CDrone`` is asking how to install wine [22:49] jrib: it's the most simple way to move the problem into someone else's hands ;) [22:49] oh [22:49] burkmat: ok, brb, after i did that is asking me to install updates [22:50] viktorkAZ, hehe, alright : [22:50] oh [22:50] exodus_ms: thanks [22:50] <__Ali__> how can i set env vars for ANY apps? not just for terminal with editing ~.bashrc? [22:50] but just another Q [22:50] i dont have internet on the device with ubuntu '< [22:51] jrib: He asked what do I need to run wine-- You just told him what he needed without an explanation... On that page it explains what it is. [22:51] then there's very little to be done [22:51] redvamp128: no, I didn't [22:51] hello. i'm new to ubuntu and linux and i'm having a problem with a software named golly (it's a conway's game of life simulator). if i install it using applications/"add/remove...", it's installed in /usr/share/golly and that folder is modifiable only by the root account. it happens that when i try to use copy/paste while using golly, it shows up a message like "can't create /usr/share/golly/golly.clipboard" and i figured it out that it [22:51] 's because of permission issues. [22:52] hallo [22:52] jrib: i dont have an internet connection on the ubuntu-harboring device '< [22:52] irc.prison.net [22:52] jrib: I sent him to that page because it explains what wine is and how to get it .. [22:52] cpk1 - nope [22:52] so now i've downloaded the .tar.gz from golly's official website and i want to install it in my ~ folder, so i don't have permissions issues anymore. how do i do it? [22:52] redvamp128, cool, let it go, it doean;t matter anyway, he doesn;t have an Internet connection ;) [22:53] redvamp128, so he says, but I don;t know how he is connected to #ubuntu? [22:53] I need some gpartition help, can I ask in here? [22:53] #n [22:53] redvamp128: unless someone requests beta software, it's not a good idea to recommend beta software, especially if it is harder to obtain than the version in the repositories [22:53] exodus_ms: On a windows based Pc other than the ubuntu he is trying to get fixed [22:54] jrib: on the main page it links 1.0.1 stable and then says sudo apt-get install wine [22:54] redvamp128, yeah, I guessed that, just wondering why he hasn't connected the ubuntu machine [22:55] redvamp128, wine reached 1.0? i've been waiting for that for quite some time :) [22:56] hlm, what are you trying to do? [22:56] apt has 1.0.1 stable -- and 1.1.15 for development [22:56] I don't know where to ask, or how to best phrase this question, but if I hit alt-F1 to go the terminal, can/how can I change the resolution/number of characters on the screen?

[23:12] right, but if you can learn another language, it'd help the translation teams === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [23:12] SiDi: nah, I'm just talking about the issues with ooo3 [23:12] i'm using the fluxbox windows manager and cannot connect to the internet for one of my users. but it works with other users [23:12] !sru | AdemoS [23:12] AdemoS: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [23:12] AdemoS: basically, the official repos only get updates for security and big bugs after release [23:13] how do i upgrade intltool for ubuntu 8.10? [23:13] I have complained here before about firefox crashing all the time. I installed some more memory yesterday and it's been smooth sailing so far! So, my apoligies to firefox. Running Ubuntu with less than 1gig of RAM seems ill-advised though (now I have 3.3GB visible, used to have 512MB). [23:14] jrib, even backports etc? [23:14] Is there a document anywhere that explains the intended usages of folders like /bin or /etc ?

You should *not* be putting anything into /bin yourself. Let the package manager (apt) do that for you. [23:15] hello leo_rockw [23:15] AdemoS: well maybe backports. I don't know if ooo is hard to backport or not. But then you need to check if ooo3.1 has hit jaunty yet [23:16] enau1289: For your own user files, the only directory you should ever write to is under /home -- (or any mount points under /mnt or /media). Other than that it's all system administration stuff. [23:16] ubottu, Slart, boshhead: Thanks, help is appreciated!

[23:28] itachi: we can talk about this in #ubuntu-offtopic or in #gnewsense [23:28] itachi: I mean that I love gNewSense [23:28] ok. but it sort of makes me sad that freedom became "offtopic". === Hieronymus is now known as Hieronymus88 [23:29] itachi: the topic of this channel is ubuntu support.

What are the risks in upgrading (not reinstalling) from Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft straight to Intrepid Ibex?

[23:35] pr3d4t0r: So, if files or settings for a package have changed, installing the latest release over an old means that settings, files, and so on may well be messed up, not converted, not removed, etc [23:35] hi.. i am getting a error: libelf.h not found.

[23:36] hi all [23:36] tranceparance: I think that requires some clever fiddling with the ALSA configuration in ~/asoundrc [23:36] ah [23:36] hello all [23:36] hehe any tips?

Whenever I try to type one it shows up as an infinity sign instead. Also I noticed the squared sign ² shows up as a less-than-or-equal-to sign. Some other unicode characters work though. kinda strange... Any ideas? Also, even if I copy a degree sign from the web and paste it it, it still shows up as an infinity sign. [23:36] hello gpzawx [23:37] tranceparance: I know you can configure it to split one sound card into several virtual devices, and combine multiple devices into one virtual device. I think you need the latter [23:37] perillux: with all fonts? [23:37] amitprakash__, install libelf-dev [23:37] hey leo ;-) [23:37] leo_rockw: I'll try some others [23:37] tranceparance: I'd say search for advanced ALSA configuration guides [23:37] IntuitiveNipple: Got it -- thanks. So in theory if I have backups of my basic configuration files, then skip-over-upgrade, then try to resolve the differences... it *may* work but I may spend as much time dicking with the configuration as if I did a full backup anyway and just installed fresh, then sort the configuration out anyway.

[23:38] hi [23:38] pr3d4t0r: Yes, I think you've got it... it may be quicker to so a fresh re-install side-by-side and then later figure out which of your custom settings should be brought over to the fresh installation [23:38] i want to extract 7z [23:38] gpzawx, 'test out a live distro', what do you mean by that?

I had a few issues with modified config files during the dist-upgrade that I had to research as they came up, and after there was a problem with postfix not able to access the sasl daemon for authentication.

[23:42] perillux: ttf-liberation are Free fonts with the same metrics as Times, Arial and Courier [23:42] gpzawx: to download and burn? lots and lots [23:43] perillux: you can't reliably tell what would happen when opening your .doc in another app. You can't even reliably tell what would happen from one version of MS Office to another.

I picked up a Dell Studio 1537 [23:43] hi Slart, no sorry to try li ve :-) [23:43] perillux: that's why PDF is preferred in those cases. [23:43] gpzawx you cant use a distro on the web [23:43] leo_rockw: ok, and what will the font names be in the list in OpenOffice, so I can find them?

[23:48] codeguru, it served me well, did dual monitors with xrandr without a fuss, etc...

[23:49] and I'm probably asking this stuff in the wrong channel ? [23:49] CDrone``: did you tell slart you have no internet connection? [23:49] the problem is xandros is too restrictive [23:50] yeah that aswell Slart '< [23:50] :D [23:50] CDrone``: oh.. no internet connection.. then I don't think that will work [23:50] codeguru, the big thing was video playback... linux, even with all the right drivers and others, just did not fair well with video playback on heavy codecs... so I installed XP through an image called EeeXP [23:50] so what should i do :( [23:50] intel video on XP sadly is much better [23:50] one last irritating question if I could: where could I get the smallest sized distro. I'm really only looking for command line for now............ [23:50] xandros is really useless, and i personally hate windows [23:50] Can somebody give me some pointers as to why my ubuntu installation freezes right away when I press the intall ubuntu option? [23:50] codeguru, I actually found the best linux for the EeePC was xandros with extensions [23:51] CDrone``: well... you'll need to get that wine package from somewhere.. afaik it's only one package so you can get it at the library, friend with internet connection or whatever [23:51] codeguru, have you unified the filesystem for extra space? added other repos? [23:51] how do i get the extensions, i wanted to java 6.0 and couldn't get it [23:51] I have DSL but it's graphical ony [23:51] codeguru, go to eeeuser.com [23:51] codeguru, look at the wiki there [23:51] ok thank let me take a look [23:51] codeguru, it says how to do pretty much any software tweak for your EeePC [23:52] cphillips: well, I found this: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/linuxdir.html [23:52] TechGladiator do you have a newer motherboard? in the last year or so.. maybe with an intel chipset?

[23:52] codeguru, ubuntu runs rather well for genearl use... but it is a bit heavier than the default xandros, so it all depends on your preference and how you use the EeePC [23:53] leo_rockw, thanks thats what i was looking for =) [23:53] cphillips: yup, np [23:53] CDrone``: =) then download the wine package from packages.ubuntu.com, save it on a usb stick and open it on the ubuntu machine [23:53] thanks wickers i have a relatively newer model, i.e. 900 mhz [23:54] and don't want to do much fancy things on it and for the most part xandros serves the purpose [23:54] codeguru: see ubuntu wiki for tips on running it, there are some ubuntu-based distros that add value (so I'm told, I'm still saving up for mine). [23:54] codeguru, but they don't run at that speed unless it's specific models... mine was listed as a 900mhz celeron but it's always downclocked on the 701s [23:54] codeguru, some of the 900 series models run at the full rate by default... [23:56] Slart: thanks dear , plz dont go anywhere , will be back to u :) [23:56] CDrone``: I'm off to bed in a couple of minutes [23:56] IntuitiveNipple: Awesome -- thanks for the advise.
