It's a 1.6GHz with 256MB ram. I tried Hardy and Intrepid, but it gets to the install GUI and just kinda lags out. The disc drive spins up and down and up and down. I did install Windows 2000 from the disc drive, so I'm not sure if the drive is bad or just having trouble reading my disc. Any suggestions? [00:03] i686 '< [00:03] slarty [00:03] mikeshollen, try xubuntu [00:03] Hey guys, i have an ubuntu machine that's not very powerful but it's doing small things... but... it has my external hard drive connected to and i don't want to disconnect it and mess something up. i have Samba on it but i can't seem to connect to that drive from my Windows XP machine(this desktop). any ideas ? [00:03] Slart: [00:03] dont u pass out '< [00:03] Scunizi: i repartitioned the drive with gparted, and am now trying to install Ubuntu on one of the partitions. the Ubuntu installer does not see even a disklabel on the disk, even though it is clearly partitioned and mountable [00:03] mikeshollen, the graphical installer requires more ram, iirc, there's an "alternate install" disk which will let you do a text based install [00:03] dkulchenko: Thanks. Now, can you show the output of this slightly different command: "sudo fdisk -l" [00:03] mikeshollen: use the alternate installe and see : [00:04] CDrone``: I'll try.. but if I wake up tomorrow with a keyboard stuck to my face I'm blaming you [00:04] !bootoptions [00:04] For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [00:04] Stargazer, have you made the mount point of the external drive a share within samba's conf file? [00:04] Slart: rofl [00:04] :D [00:04] DasEI: Thanks, I'll see if I can get it to work. Thanks again! [00:04] that's a great idea guys! [00:04] so now should i pic the i380 ? [00:04] IntuitiveNipple: http://pastebin.com/m3cfe635b doesn't seem any different... [00:04] Stargazer, you gotta tell samba that you want to share that drive [00:04] Wickers, no, i installed Samba and used Nautilus to share it. [00:04] IntuitiveNipple: change ur nick man '< [00:04] dkulchenko: by disklabel do you mean it doesn't see the disk at all? something strange there since gparted and fdisk see it.. at what point in the install does it bork? [00:05] I'll try that out and let you know how it goes. [00:05] * niku is downloading 166g over usb - this is going to take a while. :/ [00:05] Scunizi: gparted does not see it. fdisk does. [00:05] Stargazer, I'm not sure how Nautilus does sharing with samba... I've always just written the share by hand into samba's config files. [00:05] dkulchenko: A slight difference, and vital. The second command listed the offsets in *cylinders* whereas the first listed them in *sectors* [00:05] s/downloading/backing up/ [00:05] Slart: still u didn't tell me which to pick now ? [00:05] ???????????? [00:05] Wickers, could you help me do that ? [00:05] dkulchenko: There's a know issue with some sector layouts causing the installer to fail. Your situation isn't affected by that though. [00:06] dkulchenko: ok.. when you boot the live cd does it boot ok? sounds like it does... but I want to verify [00:06] CDrone``: you haven't told me what the command said? [00:06] Scunizi: i created the layout in gparted. then i went into fdisk, pressed "x" and then "f" to fix the drive names, then gparted could not see it anymore [00:06] i told u [00:06] Scunizi: am typing from it now [00:06] its ends up with i686 Slart [00:06] CDrone``: ah.. sorry.. you did.. go for the i386 one [00:06] dkulchenko: what does the kernel see: show me the results of "cat /proc/partitions" [00:06] Stargazer, #sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf [00:06] can i pm u slart , just to render this faster ? [00:07] CDrone``: sure [00:07] wickers: gksudo, if using gedit [00:07] Stargazer, from within the samba config file, you can read the different sections and waht they are used for [00:07] Myrtti, what's the difference? [00:07] dkulchenko: gparted should also be installed in the ubuntu live cd.. are the drives invisible to that gparted as well? [00:07] IntuitiveNipple: http://pastebin.com/md493779 seems fine [00:07] <_VIM_> !gksu | wickers [00:07] wickers: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [00:07] can anyone assist in loading a template webpage [00:07] what files should be in /etc/ssh/ by default? [00:08] Scunizi: that is correct. parted, gparted, and ubiquity cannot see the drives, when the kernel, fdisk, and all others can [00:08] having a problem getting it to launch and modigy [00:08] Knives: I see you have joined #ubuntu [00:08] modify [00:08] only 3 files? [00:08] wickers: the other calls the gtk graphical frontend for typing the password, which is in theory a bit safer, not risking any files getting wrong permissions etc. [00:08] wickers: gksudo that is [00:08] hi all, i'm installing intrepid on a low cpu powered netbook, does anyone have any recommendations for an ide/code editor which has autocomplete? almost an eclipse lite? [00:08] Stargazer, ok, as Myrtti said, gksudo instead of sudo gedit [00:08] dkulchenko: Yes, that's good. Does this continue to happen if you restart the installer? [00:09] IntuitiveNipple: yes, it does. maybe this is a problem with an extended mbr due to so many partitions? [00:09] ok how do i edit the system files [00:09] keeps telling me no access to delete [00:09] dkulchenko: I doubt it, unless a major regression has crept in. [00:09] or edit [00:09] I'm using apt-cacher with great results, but would like something more generic so I can cache my windows and openwrt packages too. Suggestions? [00:10] dkulchenko: I think you need to look at the installer logs. If I recall correctly, they are in /var/log/installer/ [00:10] Myrtti, thanks, I've always used sudo and it's worked for me but if this is a better way of getting the job done then cool [00:10] dkulchenko: as an experiment.. on booting the live cd at the menu where you choose what you initially want to do you're able to hit F6 and add/subtract from the kernel line.. get rid of quiet/splash and add pci=nomsi then continue with loading the live cd and try again.. [00:10] I'm sorry guys, I'm having a little trouble figuring this out. I have the Ubuntu CD up, and I clicked on F6, but I'm not sure what to do now for text based install [00:10] dkulchenko: The thing to look at in particular is what partman shows when it repeatedly reports the disk partitions as it progresses [00:10] jimcooncat, squid? [00:11] Wickers, what now ? [00:11] IntuitiveNipple: bash: cd: /var/log/installer: No such file or directory [00:11] niku: I suppose, it looked fairly complex. [00:11] ok, near the bottom of that text file you'll start to see the share sections [00:11] like [shareNAME] followed by options [00:11] dkulchenko: search around, I can't recall exactly what the directory is called. Try ls -d /var/log/ins* [00:11] Is it possible to convert .xm to .mp3 file on Ubuntu? [00:12] Hi, I'm having issues with Intrepid after upgrading from Hardy 8.04 LTS. My network connection drops randomly, web fails, nslookup fails, etc (on WLAN, haven't tried eth). I don't see anything on any of the logs (messages,daemon,syslog,etc) that could point me in the right direction. Should I just wipe the partition and do a vanilla install ? Or is there a way to increase the log level of the network layer so that I can determine the issu [00:12] Stargazer, make one called [externalDriveName] [00:12] Stargazer, and follow the common options you see with the other shares in the file [00:12] jimcooncat, basic proxy functionallity is pretty easy, you might need to tweak it to keep files with various extensions around for a while. You can always look @ webmin to configure it if you don't want to get into it deeply [00:12] Stargazer, like, you'll need a 'path', browsable, guest viewable, etc... [00:12] IntuitiveNipple: turning up nothing. one sec, i'll search around [00:13] nvm [00:13] Stargazer, do you see what I mean? you're gonna follow some of the common options you see on the other shares that are written in that file [00:13] niku: I guess it wouldn't be too hard to tell it to use only a handful of sites. [00:13] dkulchenko: What version of Ubuntu is that? It may be the locations have been changed since that version [00:13] IntuitiveNipple: hardy [00:14] Stargazer, if you're not comfortable editing this kinda file to get the job done, then maybe someone can help with the gnome file managers' way of sharing that seems to be broken for you. [00:14] hi all, i'm just installed phpmyadmin from the ubuntu repos and restarted my system... but there isn't a phpmyadmin in my path.. any ideas [00:14] dkulchenko: okay... too long ago for me to remember the layout for that one [00:14] Wickers, there's a part with an example for sharing CD-ROM, would it be ok for me to edit that section and use it ? [00:14] IntuitiveNipple: that was a release ago [00:14] IntuitiveNipple: latest is 8.10, i'm on 8.04 [00:14] Stargazer, well the CD-rom example is set read only, and for obvious reasons, but you can alter it as you please [00:15] change the name too [00:15] After adding the third party repos and updating, is there any reason aptitude wouldn't be able to locate adobe-flashplugin? [00:15] download directly from adobe website [00:15] dkulchenko: Yeah, and I'm on 9.04 :) [00:15] IntuitiveNipple: oh... [00:16] burkmat: which "third party repos"? [00:16] IntuitiveNipple: syslog turns up nothing [00:16] success! (I think) [00:16] <_VIM_> Whats that Virtualbox header file needed for guest tools? something like sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.26.28-dev? or what not... [00:16] dtchen, the ones that are in software sources per default but disabled. i've got the same repos as another guy, i see the package, he doesn't... [00:17] dkulchenko: how 'bout dmesg [00:17] burkmat: what $arch/ [00:17] G'day everyone. [00:17] dkulchenko: I'm stumped then. Without being there and being able to 'fiddle'. Have you tried restarting the live-CD session? [00:17] IntuitiveNipple: parted /dev/sda print turns up: Error: Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition. [00:17] Stargazer, once you've completed the section, save the file, then restart the samba service [00:17] IntuitiveNipple: yes [00:17] burkmat: (adobe-flashplugin is only available for i386) [00:18] dkulchenko: Yes, I was looking at the values for the partition table but not spotted anything abnormal. [00:18] Stargazer, to restart samba: #/etc/init.d/samba restart [00:18] dtchen, hmm, checking that. good tip. [00:18] Scunizi: [ 522.638492] EXT3 FS on sda1, internal journal and [ 522.638500] EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. are the only 2 relavant lines [00:18] <_VIM_> Whats that Virtualbox header file needed for guest tools? something like sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.26.28-dev? or what not... [00:18] dkulchenko: One last pastebin please: "sudo dd if=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 | hexdump -C >/tmp/report.log" [00:18] i thought command line applications use less resources - xmms2 is taking up 30% of my CPU? Can anyone explain? [00:18] Stargazer, err, my bad, that assumed you were root, but in Ubuntu you'd do the same only: #sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [00:19] :p [00:19] How can I tell if a newly installed 8.04 can use a floppy drive?

[00:29] Stargazer, look up at my command line comment on how to do it [00:29] chmod [00:29] works wonders [00:29] dkulchenko: look carefully at them in the output of "cat /proc/partitions" [00:29] that would set it so anyone can read/write it [00:29] cant you use 8.10 server as a live cd? [00:29] dkulchenko: You were clever to achieve that :D [00:29] but gotta run [00:29] later [00:29] theres no option [00:29] fearful: okey? whit the update manager or thrue ubuntu.com ?

[00:31] dkulchenko: If not, wipe the darn thing out and start afresh :) [00:32] Has anyone installed the HP mie version of Ubuntu from the usb .img file? [00:32] IntuitiveNipple: 2 of the partitions were originally resized, the rest were added [00:32] Hey, I've been reading, and it's possible I have a clash between apm and acpi? I've looked in synaptic, and have apmd and acpi installed, so it's possible, I guess, though I don't know how to find out if apm and acpi are running... [00:32] IntuitiveNipple: i'm trying everything i can so that i don't have to backup and restart [00:32] can you use 8.10 server as a live cd? theres no option to do so [00:32] dkulchenko: okay... are all the partitions in the extended 'new' without anything in them?

What chip set etc. [00:35] sebsebseb: no reverse ;) [00:36] Davedan, depends on the package, the author, the requirements, etc [00:36] IntuitiveNipple: sorry, misread what you said. you're right [00:36] mgolisch: OpenSSH? [00:36] dkulchenko: Yes. If you look at the output of "fdisk -l" you can see that sda4 and sda5 appear to start at the same cylinder, but looking at "fdisk -ul" you can see they are sectors apart [00:36] I want to create a simple package and I'll need to create temp files that will hold for several minutes untill the package deletes them [00:36] please help.. one i log into gnome, nothing happens..the screen is brown and there is only mouse cursor [00:36] Myx0x3, openssh-server I think [00:36] please help.. WHEN i log into gnome, nothing happens..the screen is brown and there is only mouse cursor [00:36] dkulchenko: I'm wondering if we simply 'move' the start of sda5 to the next cylinder boundary and reduce its size correspondingly, if that might solve it [00:36] Myx0x3: yeah install the openssh-server package [00:36] IntuitiveNipple: hmm.. just 126 sectors apart...

[00:37] IntuitiveNipple: you are correct. there is nothing is sda5. i'll do that now. [00:37] if i want to add a command that starts up before GDM does, in which file would it go? [00:37] au_: you don't know what version of Ubuntu you got installed?

I created a /home/user/distro "mkdir distro" and mounted the partition there. Now I try to create a directory in "distro" called files. Why do I get a permission denied error? I should not have to sudo to make a directory there? [00:41] if you want a cli web client, install Lynx [00:41] sorry, thought it was popular [00:41] rootcut: have you tried in Wine === horstle_ is now known as horstle [00:41] rootcut - pidgin [00:41] ninux: sorry, but I am not sure [00:41] IntuitiveNipple: i'm creating a new partition with fdisk. the extended partition is at ***200 and the first logical wants to begin at ***263, and does not let me force it to ***200. [00:41] red-lichtie: am a noob, how do you find out?? [00:41] Thanks guys ^^ :D [00:41] sebsebseb: ok thx anyway [00:41] rootcut, check out pidgin [00:41] anyone can help me? I cant log into gnome [00:41] utraputz: i need webcam support, pidgin doesn't have it [00:42] sebastien, what does Wine have to do with it ? [00:42] * spirited smiles [00:42] dkulchenko: Are those sector or cylinder numbers? [00:42] rootcut -- that's a different issue. there's Ekiga, which is general open SIP... [00:42] rootcut: yes MSN on AMSN or Kmess and you got web cam, just not with Yahoo :d also Wine might be able to run your app [00:42] Ok, I believe I've mentioned this problem before. On my keyboard, which is a Mac's (the shiny aluminum keyboard), the function keys correspond to things like "eject disc", "volume up", "volume down", "brightness", etc. Things like that. However, I am unable to use the normal functions of the F-keys. An example would be when installing windows in a VM, where you need to hit F2. Instead, my brightness is lowered. [00:42] hey all [00:42] IntuitiveNipple: i've switched to sector mode [00:42] what files should be in /etc/ssh/ by default? [00:42] dkulchenko: And, no, don't force it... let the logical start at 263 if it feels the need [00:42] rootcut: if you want web cam, well you can have it with MSN if you use AMSN or Kmess [00:42] dkulchenko: Make the changes in cylinder mode, that is safest [00:43] rootcut or just simply get Skype [00:43] well the app is linux based, so i don't see how wine has anything to do with it ... and i need webcam support on yahoo .. [00:43] I'm trying to get my gigaware usb headset to work in ubuntu...it shows up...but no audio is coming from the headset...only from the pc [00:43] red-lichtie: am a noob, how do you find out?? [00:43] rootcut: Yahoo sucks anyway [00:43] rootcut: Wine is for running WIndows apps on Linux distro [00:43] sebastien, yes i know that .. but all my friends are idiots apparently, and use yahoo [00:44] rootcut: well that's interesting, because normalley they use MSN, not yahoo, the idiots lol [00:44] IntuitibeNipple: fdisk says "WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy. The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot." could that be why it is not updating? [00:44] sebastien, i know what wine is .. but since Gyachi is a linux app.. again, what does wine have to do with installingi t ? [00:44] dkulchenko: Use partprobe to reread it [00:44] rootcut: ok what linux downloads do you have for your app? [00:44] HWNOW, lspci, find out what controller your mobo has then check out the ubuntu support for that [00:44] good morning guys :) [00:44] w8 a min [00:44] dkulchenko: "sudo partprobe /dev/sda" [00:44] rootcut: tar.gz or something like that available?

[00:45] how do i search whit apt-get? O:) [00:45] I'm just realizing how much I missed it after a long gaming binge with WinXP [00:45] i tried it .. there's instructions in INSTALL.txt .. but the first command fails [00:45] and ./configure tells you to read install.txt :| [00:45] guys [00:45] IntuitiveNipple: partprobe returning same "constraint" error [00:45] does anyone have a website here? [00:45] rootcut: ok I see [00:45] Myx0x3: Applications > Insta/Remove Program [00:45] Myx0x3: apt-cache search [00:46] dkulchenko: oh grrrrrrrr!!! [00:46] andrey22: yeah I got two online right now [00:46] sebsebseb, thanks a lot for looking into it [00:46] rootcut: not not done yet [00:46] rootcut, do you have the dev tools installed (compiler, etc) ? [00:46] Myx0x3 Add/Remove will give you a list, and you can search or use that command [00:46] rootcut: you will need to compile that program yourself [00:46] !tar [00:46] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [00:46] i'm a noob, how do i do that ? [00:46] I still prefer apt-cache search [00:46] * dkulchenko 's brain hurts [00:46] dkulchenko: Shall I explain what I think is happening? [00:46] I need to know what program(s) to download in order to play games on Ubuntu like: World of Warcraft. Could someone please tell me so I can go to that website? [00:47] IntuitiveNipple: please, if it's not too hard [00:47] islan: Yea [00:47] fearful: im trying to use manage my computer whit putty so i need to use apt thing :P [00:47] guys, I need a little help :) [00:47] rootcut: heh yeah it's been a while for me, someone else here can hopefully explain to you how you install a .tar.gz. it did come in a tar.gz the program? [00:47] Ok, I believe I've mentioned this problem before. On my keyboard, which is a Mac's (the shiny aluminum keyboard), the function keys correspond to things like "eject disc", "volume up", "volume down", "brightness", etc. Things like that. However, I am unable to use the normal functions of the F-keys. An example would be when installing windows in a VM, where you need to hit F2. Instead, my brightness is lowered. [00:47] spirited: I think WOW works in Wine [00:47] Ok so Wine is one I need to install huh? What is the other? [00:48] dkulchenko: this is theory. The extended partition has extents (start - end) in the primary partition table. The extended partition table is the first sector of the extended partition. If the first *logical* partition entry in that extended partition says it starts in the same place as the extended partition table itself, that error might be the result :D [00:48] ok ebox downloaded, i'm gonna install it now [00:48] spirited: look here. http://www.winehq.org and http://www.appdb.winehq.org [00:48] thanks! [00:48] rootcut: try "sudo aptitude install build-essential" before trying to run configure [00:48] IntuitibeNipple: but it does not. that's why it's forcing me to start the logical partition 63 sectors away from the extended start [00:48] spirited: well there's Wine and commercial versions of it [00:48] that are meant to be paid for [00:49] wine is the opensource one [00:49] red-lichtie, thx i'll try [00:49] red-lechtie: I have a Corssfire Xpress 3200 ATI [00:49] I was installing Ubuntu 8.10 through Wubi, still hadn't logged in for the first time, and the computer is connected to a monitor, and after the Ubuntun image came up, the TV started to say Not Support! could that be the TV isn't supported by Ubuntu. [00:49] uldtot, gonna install it now [00:49] I need to run a program called unetbootin from the command line in ubuntu 8.04 ..can someone help me.. i al a relatively newbie in linux [00:49] dkulchenko: Factor into that explanation that many disk tools require measurements to align on *cylinder* boundaries and you can see why the error might be happening [00:49] sebsebseb: are those commercial ones still pay-per-year/ [00:49] ? [00:49] IntuitibeNipple: so i can't do anything short of a reformat? [00:49] spirited: also for games that aren't 3D, and with enough RAM, I think a virtual machine of Windows would be ok. [00:49] spirited: that is if it won't work in Wine or whatever you could try in a vm as long as it's 2D [00:50] islan: nope not pay per year [00:50] dkulchenko: Oh sure you can.. when it comes down to it, it's only 2 x 48 bytes that has maybe one 16-byte entry slighlty wrong [00:50] There is another app someone mention that ran games; does anyone know what that is? I have 3D shooters. [00:50] sebsebseb: cool, I remember there being one that was a forced donation of $50 per year or some-such [00:50] spirited: Crossover [00:50] so i have a website that wont render right in firefox... how can i emulate IE? [00:50] theres not firefox extension. [00:50] IntuitibeNipple: but how can i fix that short of editing the inodes with magnets? :) [00:50] spirited: I think you have to pay tho.. [00:50] yes Crossover is one of the commerical apps I was on about [00:50] Hey guys how can i auto mount a share into FSTAB? [00:50] and there's Crossover games now [00:51] dkulchenko: join me in #disk-recovery where we can think quietly :) [00:51] does Crossover do a good job? [00:51] rootcut, then, when (if) ./configure complains about missing stuff, you'll have to install therelated " *-dev" packages [00:51] Hmm ok... well let me read about wine. [00:51] islan: Crossover is pretty good yeah [00:51] islan: I'm sure it does, if you have to pay for it.. [00:51] I heard that you can run certain Steam games perfectly on wine === iron_man_ftw is now known as away_man_ftl [00:51] fearful: I tried a demo of it for Mac, ran TF2 alright, but it wasn't great [00:51] can I pass a value between two bash scripts? [00:51] islan: there's Cedega as well, but that's not liked by the wine community, since they took loads of code, gave nothing back, and made it into a commercial app [00:51] the graphics were poor and it tended to crash [00:51] red-lichtie, i just re-downloaded it .. the install.txt tells me to firstly run "./autogen.sh" then the usual configure, make, sudo make install [00:52] islan: Yea I couldn't say haven't tested, I don't really game maybe when D3 comes out :) [00:52] so i do that .. but the autogen.sh fails [00:52] but that could be the fault of the mac [00:52] should i paste you the error ? [00:52] islan: oh your on a Mac [00:52] no, I'm not [00:52] the Mac was at work [00:52] well [00:52] Windows can run quite well on the Mac, since bootcamp [00:52] I hate windows [00:52] anyone? pls [00:53] fearful: yeah I dislike it to [00:53] but if I could run my PC games perfectly, then I would ditch Windows and never look back [00:53] fearful: ,but look we got gamers wanting to use Linux, but yet the commercial Windows games companies most of them won't make for it [00:53] HWNOW http://news.softpedia.com/news/Latest-ATI-Linux-Driver-Introduces-Support-for-Ubuntu-8-10-99763.shtml [00:53] <_VIM_> get an xbox 360 [00:53] islan, Yea I don't really game so :) [00:53] Multimonitor just wont' work for me on this laptop grrrrr [00:53] islan: you may have to dual boot for now [00:54] islan: and with some effort you can get a lot of Windows games running in Wine anyway [00:54] sebsebseb: eh, it's not too bad [00:54] islan: ,but you need know how [00:54] oh, I do [00:54] islan: for stuff that won't just work in Wine [00:54] yeah, I've only experimented with it a little [00:54] _VIM_: afraid I'm not up for paying for online play [00:54] I'm sure you can get crossover without having to pay :) I already found one lol [00:54] rootcut, what does autogn say ? Why is it failing ? [00:55] fearful: lol and yeah a while ago it was given away legally for free by them [00:55] fearful: probably again in the future they will do that [00:55] I read an article one guy wrote about using wine to run TF2 "perfectly" I might try it out sometime [00:55] red-lechtie: are you asking for the chipset for the north or south bridge?

[01:01] good help, if you get past the asking [01:01] islan: ha ha I see, well Debian isn't really the distro of choice of so called Linux elites. I mean they will want to use stuff like Slackware, ArchLinux, and Gentoo [01:01] join #ubuntu-motu [01:01] sebsebseb: I was asking for help with this LinuxFromScratch experimental build I was doing, and I got shouted at by some of them [01:01] what happens if i install 32bit ubuntu on my system with 6gb of ram? Do the last 2gb just never get used? What about if i use vmware to host more OS's? [01:01] and one guy said something like "you're like a kid trying to play in the street, and we're trying to keep you from getting hit by a car" [01:01] islan: well Gentoo is meant to be like Linux from scratch [01:01] baz, it's simply not addressed [01:01] it was just an experiment I was doing, something small [01:01] red-lichtie: still didin't work...... http://paste.ubuntu.com/118651/ [01:01] HELP Network manager is not looking for access points [01:02] in my early days of linux to help me learn [01:02] sebsebseb: I personally like ArchLinux out of those three mentioned [01:02] fearful: I was so close to trying them on vm on my old computer, but then finally the hardware screwed up properly [01:02] nickrud, is there no way to make use of it all using VM's or similar?

[01:10] R0b0t1: every time you repeat yourself, the word 'shiny' is used and I get a bump/ [01:11] Scunizi: yes :) [01:11] shinygerbil: XD. [01:11] Myx0x3: I'll walk you through some of the tricks.. sudo apt-get install screen irssi === horstle_ is now known as horstle [01:12] sudo killall comes up with many options. [01:12] Scunizi: WHAA X) i started irssi how do i get out of it? :P [01:12] spirited lets say you want to kill firefox, you would do sudo killall firefox [01:12] sebsebseb whats good firewall for ubuntu [01:12] ah ok [01:12] Myx0x3: wait.. did you also start screen? [01:12] Darth_Tux: security is good, and you get good default security here, unlike with Windows [01:13] hey guys [01:13] fearful: what's a good firewall for any OS? simple a a hardware firewall in say the router that is enabled [01:13] hey amshake [01:13] I'm having a REALLY hard time getting any network shares to work. [01:13] Scunizi: no :P i started irssi before you told me to get screen :P [01:13] Myx0x3: /quit will exit irssi and dump any connections [01:13] sebsebseb, i am not new to linux, i like su [01:13] fearful: hardware firewalls are meant to be the best [01:13] trying to kill the package installer... how can I see the true name of the process? [01:13] hello [01:13] Specifically between two ubuntu machines.... I've got samba installed and have used the nautlilus right click options, but still can not browse shares [01:13] Scunizi: ooh, i tried /exit hehe :P [01:13] sebsebseb well how can I get one on my router [01:13] Darth_Tux: I thought that was you that, said didn't like sudo [01:13] spirited, why the package installer? [01:14] hello [01:14] spirited, getting errors of lock, there is other ways around it [01:14] Myx0x3: once you exit type screen [01:14] I setup a workgroup of "LinuxMachines" and can see that, but can not see the machines [01:14] sebsebseb: yeah, he wishes it was su isntead [01:14] fearful: most routers that have been sold in the last few years or so, have a hardware firewall as part of them [01:14] i dont like sudo, i prefer to su [01:14] instead* [01:14] Scunizi:yeas [01:14] Scunizi: yes* [01:14] Yes was trying to install limewire and went throught the dialogs and it was running a package installer. [01:14] <_VIM_> !fixapt [01:14] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [01:14] Myx0x3: ok.. now type irssi [01:14] fearful: a FW that stops outgoing connections, i.e. it stops bots caling home [01:14] spirited: music pirate [01:14] music pirate? [01:14] Scunizi: yeah :) [01:14] spirited, why limewire and not frostwire [01:14] red-lichtie can you give me one [01:15] becasue I didnt know about frostwire.:P [01:15] Darth_Tux: what exactly don't you like about it? It's pretty much the same from an end-user point of view [01:15] spirited: well if your using limewire I assume you will be wanting to pirate something [01:15] spirited, frostwire even comes in a deb package [01:15] Myx0x3: you now have irssi loaded in "window" number 0.. push ctrl+a (small a) [01:15] Myx0x3: now push c [01:15] yes frostwire, better than limewiere, but torrents for the win :) [01:15] Ok, I believe I've mentioned this problem before. On my keyboard, which is a Mac's (the aluminum keyboard), the function keys correspond to things like "eject disc", "volume up", "volume down", "brightness", etc. Things like that. However, I am unable to use the normal functions of the F-keys. An example would be when installing windows in a VM, where you need to hit F2. Instead, my brightness is lowered. [01:15] ug no comment.:) [01:15] Myx0x3: did it take you back to a console prompt? [01:15] Ok I'll look up frostwire [01:15] can anyone help me figure out why my video in ubuntu 8.10 flickets in my video player [01:16] fearful: don't connect directly to the web (if you only have 1 box) and use a UML system with IPCop+BOT (Block Outbound Traffic) [01:16] spirited: limewire and frostwiere LOL torrents for the win [01:16] UML = User Mode Linux [01:16] <_VIM_> what sebsebseb said [01:16] spirited: ,but you shoud only download legal stuff from the net really :D [01:16] Scunizi: yes :) [01:16] um.... I want my music back.:) [01:16] jrib, when i am actually doing something is root i tend to be doing a few things, typing sudo everytime seems a bit much [01:16] can anyone help me figure out why my video in ubuntu 8.10 flickets in my video player [01:16] Darth_Tux: you must not know about « sudo -i » then? [01:17] Scunizi: how do i connect freenode (this irc server? :P) [01:17] Myx0x3: you are now in window number 1.. lets split the screen push ctrl+a shift+s (to give you a capital S) [01:17] someone help me .. I am trying to install unetbootin in ubuntu 8.04 and cannot do it.. [01:17] jrib, i havent come across that in my 4 and a half hours [01:17] "/s irc.freenet.org" [01:17] Scunizi: dont remember how i did [01:17] red-lichtie, if you still remember my problem, can you check out this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/118653/ [01:17] ok then I'll only download legal stuff just for you.;) [01:17] Darth_Tux: try it, it will give you a root shell [01:17] CompuHacker: tnx <3 [01:17] _VIM_: yeah noobs and their P2P programs [01:17] sweet [01:18] can anyone help me figure out why my video in ubuntu 8.10 flickets in my video player [01:18] Yep I am a noob. [01:18] Scunizi: huh ?:P [01:18] Myx0x3: did it split? [01:18] sebsebseb, hey torrents dont work everywhere you know [01:18] Scunizi: did not understand that sorry :P [01:19] Myx0x3: ctrl+a shift+s [01:19] usser: you mean like at a univeristy or something, and the guys doing the net, has the port blocked? [01:19] <_VIM_> Do any of you use a Sony HandyCam on Ubuntu? if so what software if any do you use? [01:20] Scunizi: yes now, set title window to bash or somthing :P [01:20] sebsebseb, university, but here verizon throttles torrent traffic, on a tracker i normally get 100-150, with verizon its 10-15 [01:20] Myx0x3: ok.. is irssi in the top or bottom? [01:20] ok [01:20] rootcut, you are going to see this for each and every missing "....-dev" toolkit, although I'm not sure what the alsa on is (maybe `apt-get install alsa-dev` ?) . [01:21] s/on is/one is/ [01:21] Scunizi: top :P [01:21] red-lichtie, k i'll look in synaptic maybe ... [01:22] Myx0x3: ok.. and the cursor is blinkin in the "entry" line for irssi? [01:22] Is firestarter good? [01:22] fearful: how Linux does firewalls now that's interesting [01:22] fearful: ,but I can't really say much, worth finding out about that though [01:23] yes :P [01:23] All: Ubuntu 8.10, my sound just stopped working, produces only static, using ALSA [01:23] Scunizi: yes* [01:23] Scunizi: or its green :P [01:23] fearful: firestarter is ok [01:23] Myx0x3: now ctrl+a TAB to shift to the lower half that is empty.. now ctrl+a c [01:23] Scunizi: but i can enter text there [01:23] fearful: ,but you should read up on how firewall works with linux I think, and about what ports being blocked and when [01:23] wow, you really must be bored, giving step by step tutorials on how to use gnu screen [01:23] Scunizi: aha nice! :( [01:23] Scunizi: :)* [01:24] rootcut: synaptic won't help you much IMHO, when building from source you really have to read the README, especially the requirements bit ;) [01:24] fearful: heh you been running Ubuntu without a firewall then? [01:24] every Internet connected OS needs an enabled firewall simple as that [01:24] Scunizi: how do i make itlook like this: [_] [_] if you understand :P [01:24] Myx0x3: it gets better.. you're catching on that ctrl+a is always teh preface for any other command [01:24] hi guys i've got some really wierd behaviour with pinging a windows box on local lan [01:24] if i ping the ip it pings as normal [01:25] this is Ubuntu not Windows suppourt [01:25] if ping the hostname it also pings but takes a really long time [01:25] you can go to #windows for that [01:25] <_VIM_> wrong channel adante [01:25] Myx0x3: not sure I understand [01:25] Scunizi: hmm... now they are horisontal [01:25] what does it mean in /etc/shadow if a user has a * for a password field? [01:25] Scunizi: i want it ehm, whats the others name? XD [01:26] sebsebseb yes I have [01:26] fearful: yeah get yourself sorted out with a firewall, and ideally a hardware firewall, if you got a router it may already have one [01:26] Myx0x3: not sure I'm following.. [01:26] sebsebseb yea how can I check? [01:26] fearful: Linux distros can be broken into as well. you know [01:26] every Internet OS can be cracked into [01:26] Myx0x3: side by side? or one on top of the other? [01:27] Internet connected OS [01:27] Scunizi: i want the fields to be Vertikal [01:27] don't most linksys routers have firewalls built in? [01:27] Scunizi: yeah side by side [01:27] All linksys routers have firewalls [01:27] sebsebseb: What ? (Shock ! Surprise !) Ubuntu is not supported by windoes ? ;) [01:27] homeskill: 'man shadow' should explain. Basically, the user won't be able to login [01:27] fearful: maybe someone already been in there, but you didn't know [01:27] Myx0x3: that would be a verticle split.. sorry it doesn't do that from what I've been reading.. [01:27] jrib i thought thats what ! did [01:27] i am trying to install unetbootin .. can someone help me please [01:27] red-lichtie: I did not say that, I said that every Internet connected OS should have a enabled firewall [01:27] Scunizi: oooh :( [01:27] homeskill: take a look at the man page [01:27] sebsebseb: I do know that, how can I check if my router has a firewall? [01:28] fearful: your router configuration page [01:28] Myx0x3: now if you want to experiment a little .. try ctrl+a c in either window or split half [01:28] assuming you have one :D [01:28] the man page says both ! and * mean they wont be able to login. i just dont understand why theres 2 diff things tha tmean the same thing [01:28] sebsebseb yea ok well I got to go for dinner I'll tell you after :p [01:28] Scunizi: heh, okej ^^ [01:28] fearful, most routers don't port forward anyway [01:28] Myx0x3: now sudo apt-get install surfraw elinks [01:28] maybe i can read in: man screen? :P [01:28] Scunizi: whats that? ^^ [01:29] red-lichtie: sure they do [01:29] homeskill: the man page says more than that. ! and * are examples [01:29] sebsebseb can you help me please ...with installing a program .. i downloaded a *.BIN file and typed ./filename... but its not working [01:29] red-lichtie: ah ha you know about firewalls more than me? [01:29] joljam: ah yes .bin [01:29] unless you have enabled UPnP support for the applications [01:29] joljam: you have to chmod +x the file first to make it excutible [01:29] joljam: which app? [01:29] Myx0x3: elinks is a terminal browser for the internet and surfraw is something that allows searching the net FAST before loading the browser [01:29] sebsebseb..its unetbootin [01:30] <_VIM_> !info surfraw [01:30] surfraw (source: surfraw): a fast unix command line interface to WWW. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2.1-2 (intrepid), package size 84 kB, installed size 556 kB [01:30] red-lichtie: so port forwarding yeah. so since Linux distros tend not to have anything that calls back home, unlike insecure WIndows installs. a firewall in a way may not be needed? ,but people that have an insecure sudo password, could get cracked anyway? [01:30] sebsebseb: I meant "by default", you obviously can configure them [01:30] Scunizi: okey? ^^ but ill use firefox in Windows if i need anything, i dont have the fastest internet connection :P [01:30] sebsebseb...I want to create intrepid usb using unetbootin.. thats why I am trying to install unetbootin in LTS [01:31] joljam: why was I picked out of everyone here? [01:31] cumi [01:31] Myx0x3: terminal searching is quick because there's no graphics involved.. did you load it? [01:31] Myx0x3: or install it?? [01:31] hello room [01:31] joljam: bins are a bit of a pain in the arse, and I haven't made a bootable USB for Ubuntu [01:31] sebsebseb..no one was answering my question earlier..thats why [01:31] Scunizi: sorry no :P but i dont think ill need it hehe :P [01:32] joljam: Did you chmod +x thefile.bin? [01:32] joljam: someone already said what to do with bin [01:32] Myx0x3: ok.. one thing you need to learn is how to detach and reattach to screen.. [01:32] Scunizi: heh, okej ? :P [01:33] anyone else have the fast user switcher applet kill x ? using the nvidia 180 driver ? [01:33]  vip3rousmango:- I did a chmod 700 [01:33] My Intrepib box is still messed up all the same after upgrading from LTS [01:33] Myx0x3: to detach ctrl+a d ... try it.. everything will disappear [01:33] Ok, I believe I've mentioned this problem before. On my keyboard, which is a Mac's (the aluminum keyboard), the function keys correspond to things like "eject disc", "volume up", "volume down", "brightness", etc. Things like that. However, I am unable to use the normal functions of the F-keys. An example would be when installing windows in a VM, where you need to hit F2. Instead, my brightness is lowered. [01:33] hi there! im having dificulties with a pendrive. how do i manage to it mout itself automatically? [01:33]  vip3rousmango..just now I did a chmod +x also [01:33] iv installed autofs, but didnt worked [01:33] red-lichtie: messed up in what way? [01:33] but it says.. vip3rousmango [01:33] Scunizi: okej :P did i kill irssi? [01:33] Scunizi: or is it still running? [01:33] Myx0x3: nope that's part of the magick.. [01:33] dtcrshr, should mount automaticaly to your desktop when you plug it in , what is happening if not that ? [01:33] vip3rousmango..../unetbootin-linux-313: error while loading shared libraries: libaudio.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [01:33] Scunizi: oooh ;) [01:34] joljam: whaaaa, ok hold on one sec [01:34] sebsebseb: Ramdom loss of connection with nothing in the logs :( [01:34] well, its not mounting [01:34] Myx0x3: you could even close the putty session and it would continue to run [01:34] im insertint directly on the mobo connectors [01:34] they are activated from the bios [01:34] red-lichtie: Internet connection? [01:34] I need help, I have to Ethernet cards, how do I select one that im not connected to? [01:34] Scunizi: heh okej :P but how do i get it back? :P [01:34] How would I go about copying all folders from my current one to some other? cp -r ./ dest/ ? [01:34] and the pendrive lights flashes when i plug it in [01:34] Myx0x3: to reattach you need to know what the screen number is.. so now type screen -ls [01:34] dtcrshr, plug it in , open a terminal , type sudo blkid , do you see it there, also type lsusb , do you see it there [01:34] <_VIM_> I have surfraw installed how do i use it? I tried reading the -help but I'm not seeing anything usefull 'surfraw -g' didnt work either [01:35] screen -DR [01:35] Myx0x3: the line that is shown has a 4 digit number at the beginning of it. to reattach type screen -r [01:35] joljam: I'm not sure why it's giving that error.. did you sudo chmod? [01:35] Scunizi: okej :) [01:35] Scunizi: how do i remove the others? [01:35] Hello everyone! [01:35] where is the network information kept? [01:35] Scunizi: i have 5 here XD ill bet i did something :P [01:35] _VIM_: sr google [01:35] sebsebseb: nslookup fails, etc, but WLAN drivers say they have 100% signal. So I'm thinking of just flattening the box and going back to LTS [01:36] red-lichtie: I see [01:36] <_VIM_> Scunizi: ah ok thank you :) [01:36] sebsebseb: nothing in syslog, daemonlog, messages [01:36] red-lichtie: yeah wireless can be a pain [01:36] Myx0x3: yep.. you typed screen 5 times just after you loaded it.. so you have to attach to one at a time and see if there's nothing there then /exit [01:36] I have installed pidgin from source code, but removed it now with make uninstall. I then installed pidgin from the repos, and all images icons which are used by pidgin are gone. I tried apt-get --reinstall install pidgin, but it didn't work. Any hints? [01:36] red-lichtie: well hardy and intrepid not much difference anyway [01:37] red-lichtie: and next Ubuntu is out in April [01:37] _VIM_: sr ? to get the different "search" engines [01:37] NEED NETWORKING HELP: [01:37] how do I switch which network card I use? [01:37] the_dark_warrio, try asking in the #pidgin channel , they might know bettter === Daviey_ is now known as Daviey [01:37] sebsebseb: thats what I thought, but something has changed, and in my case it was for the worse :( [01:37] Pelo: Ok [01:37] red-lichtie: to do with the kernel maybe === techsupport is now known as orudie [01:37] the_dark_warrio: try #pidgin channel, they might have a better answer for you [01:38] hlm, try asking in #networking [01:38] Quick question from an Ubuntu newbie: Somehow, my resolution was set to 320x240 and I can't reach the menu to correct that manually. Is there any way that I can open the console with a keyboard shortcut of some kind (Since I can't reach that menu, either) and type in a command to set the resolution to 1280x1024 instead? 3rd party graphics drivers installed and verified working. [01:38] red-lichtie: maybe you could like ndiswrapper hte windows driver for your device [01:38] Scunizi: hmmm :P [01:38] Scunizi: /exit does not work :S [01:38] Myx0x3: hang on [01:38] Busbee, alt+f2 type gnome-terminal [01:38] Busbee, sudo dkpk-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:39] Busbee, and use xrandr to set resolution [01:39] red-lichtie: have you got a seperate home folder? [01:39] Pelo: , i got sda 1 to 8, but none of them is usb something [01:39] Thanks, I'll try that now [01:39] all ext3, besides one swap [01:39] dtchen, what file system is this usb stick in ? ntfs ? fat ? fat32 ? [01:39] Scunizi: bash: /exit: No such file or directory :S [01:40] Myx0x3: /quit maybe [01:40] Myx0x3: just regular: 'exit' [01:40] dtcrshr, what file system is this usb stick in ? ntfs ? fat ? fat32 ? [01:40] fat [01:40] sebsebseb: Yeah, maybe. I did a lot of compiling/configuration, maybe the distro upgrade broke some of that (I'll have to diff the dpk_old files) [01:40] i use it regularly with an xp machine at work [01:40] dtcrshr, what does lsusb tell you ? [01:40] prince_jammys: aha :) now it worked Scunizi ^^ [01:40] red-lichtie: if you have a seperate home folder. that makes ubuntu re installing easier, or if you like other distro installing easier [01:41] Myx0x3: I knew it was something like that :/ [01:41] red-lichtie: also next version has Ext4 :) and so loads of us will clean install for that I expect, that is the more experienced Ubuntu people [01:41] red-lichtie, i found the answer to the alsa problem .. thing is.. i don't know how to use it: "Install the alsa devel packages (using yast) and then try running ./configure again." ... how do i use yast ? [01:41] Scunizi: hehe nps :P [01:41] Anyone know what the latest core 2 duo mobile is? [01:41] Scunizi: if i dont want screen anymore? how do i remove it=? i bet it takes some process :P... [01:42] Ok, I believe I've mentioned this problem before. On my keyboard, which is a Mac's (the aluminum keyboard), the function keys correspond to things like "eject disc", "volume up", "volume down", "brightness", etc. Things like that. However, I am unable to use the normal functions of the F-keys. An example would be when installing windows in a VM, where you need to hit F2. Instead, my brightness is lowered. How do I get my function keys to act "normal"? [01:42] http://pastebin.com/m3bb06176 [01:42] dtcrshr, hold on [01:42] R0b0t1: you're right, you did [01:42] Myx0x3: you mean close it entirely? you can "exit" all the screens and they won't be running.. on reboot of the remote machine will also close screeen and it won't restart on reboot without you typing screen [01:43] sebsebseb: home isn't the issue I fear, it was all the twiddling that I did in etc and /lib/ to get my laptop working just right. (/me kick himself now for not dd'ing the drive before the distro upgrade) [01:43] red-lichtie: I was just saying about home, to make your re installs easier, if you have a seperate home folder [01:43] dtcrshr, the problem might be with the computer, try another usb device ( preferably a usb pen or music player) , try another usb port , check your bios settings to make sure you have usb enabled or whatnot [01:43] Scunizi: yeah close entirely :P whitout reboot [01:43] R0b0t1: Does your keyboard have an F-Lock key? [01:43] ok [01:44] thanks [01:44] red-lichtie: well actsaul end user features, not much difference between hardy and intrepid anyway [01:44] ill double check the bios [01:44] can anybody help me with a quick question? [01:44] vip3rousmango: No, nothing even remotely resembling one. In MacOS, I had to check an option in the system settings, however I am unable to find something like that in Ubuntu. [01:44] kevin_zhong, you need to ask it first [01:44] red-lichtie: plus then you will probably want to try the next version in April anyway as I was saying [01:44] Scunizi: is there a "short" commant to exit all at the same time? or do i have to "go into" everone and type exit? :/ [01:44] sebsebseb: definately [01:44] Myx0x3: just exit as the other nick suggested.. to close the split ctrl+a shift+x [01:44] lol, ok. Question is, can I write Mandarin Chinese in Ubuntu? I take a Chinese class, and I have to be able to [01:45] R0b0t1: hmm, The only other thing i can think of is to manually reassign the keys under the keyboard layout settings under Administrator [01:45] Myx0x3: each one is running independantly.. so yes you have to go into each one as far as I know.. [01:45] kevin_zhong, the answer is probably yes , #ubuntu-cn might be a better place to ask [01:45] how [01:45] red-lichtie: so you could try and configure this, but then not have intrepid for long anyway, or fail at configuring, and downgrade to hardy. and then clean install the next one [01:45] Scunizi: okey :/ [01:45] oh, okay, thanks [01:45] red-lichtie: no shame in downgrading to hardy, in fact that is the long term suppourt release anyway [01:45] vip3rousmango: Where might that be located? [01:45] Scunizi: well, i have to go to bed now :P im realy tired as you maybe can recognize XD [01:46] Problem resolved! Thanks, help channel! [01:46] did compiz ever get that bug fixed where firefox always started up full screen [01:46] red-lichtie: and yes wireless can be a right pain in Linux distros, thanks to manufactures that don't suppourt it properly with their devices [01:46] Myx0x3: np.. :) [01:46] sebsebseb: Question is, can I downgrade to hardy without having to do a wipe [01:46] sileni, I use compiz and I never get that so I guess yes [01:46] R0b0t1: Menu > System Preferences > Preferences > Keyboard === rachel is now known as Guest80646 [01:46] red-lichtie: that's where the seperate home folder thing comes in [01:46] red-lichtie: it's own partition for home [01:46] vip3rousmango: And within that, any idea which button I'd hit? [01:47] Scunizi: tnx for the help im realy glad that you helped me :) [01:47] R0b0t1: Sorry but no, my keyboard had the F-Lock key, which solved my issue. [01:47] red-lichtie: so the OS it self needs to be wiped, but you can have your stuff in a seperate home folder partition and keep that [01:47] Scunizi: now i feel like a pro whit linux ;) just kidding ;) [01:47] R0b0t1: that would just be the first place I'd look with any keyboard related issue [01:48] Myx0x3: I've been learning this for 3 yrs. just in the last couple weeks I've tried to live at terminal as much as possible.. just for fun and experience. [01:48] R0b0t1: if you can't find a feature in their or the Keyboard Shortcuts, try asking around the ubuntu forums if no-one can help here. Sorry I can't be of better use :( [01:48] Hi all.Synaptic shows that gcj4.2 is installed but terminal command says its not. [01:48] Nah, you're the first person that answered me in about 3 months :) [01:48] sebsebseb: yeah, I know that route, multi boot home, etc. I just should have gome there before I distro upgraded :( [01:48] you can do it now [01:48] s/gome/gone/ [01:48] it's not to late [01:49] you can make a seperate home now [01:49] !home [01:49] Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [01:49] sebsebseb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:49] Scunizi: yeah :) and i realy have to learn Linux to get a well paid work ^^ im just at school now but i realy would like to manage linux :P [01:49] R0b0t1, what is your question again ? [01:49] hi all :) [01:49] Pelo: Ok, I believe I've mentioned this problem before. On my keyboard, which is a Mac's (the aluminum keyboard), the function keys correspond to things like "eject disc", "volume up", "volume down", "brightness", etc. Things like that. However, I am unable to use the normal functions of the F-keys. An example would be when installing windows in a VM, where you need to hit F2. Instead, my brightness is lowered. How do I get my function keys to act "n [01:49] ormal"? [01:49] Myx0x3: you get good work for knowing Linux? ...why has no one told me this? [01:49] Copypasta. [01:49] Myx0x3: me too but I'm almost 50.. little age descrimination when you're competing with 25 yr olds. :( [01:49] * Pelo finds yajohny 's cheerfullness suspicious [01:49] nobody is responding in #ubuntu-cn guess its time to google [01:50] * _VIM_ puts tinfoil hat on, and hands one to pelo [01:50] islan: haha xD im getting the work from an friend to the family :P and its something whit cisco also xD [01:50] after 2year i install again ubuntu :) [01:50] Scunizi: hehe, nhaa i hope im done when im 19 ^^ im 18 now XD [01:50] sebsebseb: I think I adapted too much and "make install"'ed too much with out documenting it for myself, so my bad I guess [01:51] R0b0t1, I'm gonna take a wild guess that those keys are set in what ever the mac version of a bios is . you'll probably need to disable it from there [01:51] * islan looks forward to graduating [01:51] * Scunizi suggests _VIM_ also string coax cable around the parimeter of the house to keep the space men away [01:51] <_VIM_> :) [01:51] Pelo: Well, I think Ubuntu chooses to do it as other distributions accept them as normal F keys. [01:51] * vip3rousmango uses ray blasters for his space invader defence kit [01:52] ubuntu is after two years great distro... [01:52] Pfft, orbital ion cannon.

That's where I am atm. [01:53] I guess not :D [01:53] What is the best antivirus app for Ubuntu? [01:53] Windows-Away [01:53] Any gurus out there know a command to recursively search a directory for files with a specific file extension and then move all of those files to a different directory? [01:53] spirited: If you need an antivirus for Ubuntu, I'd have to say you're doing something wrong. [01:53] <_VIM_> !virus | spirited [01:53] spirited: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [01:54] Ubuntu installation is probably your best AV :) [01:54] reading now thank you. [01:54] nwillettjeffrie1: use « find » [01:54] red-lichtie: Window ME is such a nightmare =( [01:54] this should be interesting.:) [01:54] <|ns|nR8> ubuntu can need a AV if your running a mail server that relays mail to windows machines [01:54] hello, may someone please tell me how to tell banshee to list albums containing multiple artists correctly? e.g not each artist in another album with the same name on a different row? [01:55] * Pelo wonders if anyone else has had issues with X restarting when switching user , possibly nvidia related [01:55] Windows Vista is a nightmare!

[01:56] vip3rousmango, thanks, [01:56] aprilhare, i still have one :) [01:56] aprilhare: quite few machines around with windows 2000 or below still [01:56] how can i install all dependencies automatic when i put them all in the same folder? [01:56] MaxRide: loads of those [01:56] maxg__, brassero , gnomebaker [01:56] i downloaded all debs via the synaptic download script [01:56] The only window's i'll install in a pinch is Windows2k, best windows as far as Windows goes... [01:56] sebsebseb, yeah but usually its windows 98 [01:56] MrGoodkat_, you mean all the deb file? [01:56] sebsebseb: What's the default installed app? [01:56] MaxRide, brasero , gnomebaker [01:56] need help using liveusb [01:56] <|ns|nR8> you think windows 98 would still be more common that ubuntu [01:56] yes usser [01:56] windows 95, i have found, has this self destructive habit [01:56] MaxRide: Brasero disk burner [01:56] MrGoodkat_, sudo dpkg -i /directorywheredebsare/*deb [01:56] Pelo: Thanks. I'll try those. [01:56] MaxRide: find it in your menu [01:57] one day I might have a Win98 comp just to play old PC games [01:57] sebsebseb: For some reason it got uninstalled (Actually running EEEBuntu, so that's probably not an oversight) [01:57] there are probably machines with windows 3.11 but they would be in third world countries [01:57] islan: WINE can emulate 98 :P [01:57] MrGoodkat_, if you have an internet connection why not just sudo apt-get install the package you want , the dependencies will be added automaticaly [01:57] :) [01:57] I love wine. :P [01:57] pelo no internet connection [01:57] MaxRide: ok well K3B is what I would normalely use :) so sudo apt-get install k3b [01:57] * Pelo gives DeadRobot the number for AA [01:57] thanks usser, that worked like charm [01:57] vip3rousmango: but how well may yet be seen :P I once tried running Baldur's Gate, it crashed a lot [01:57] someone please help me.......I do i install a p[rogram which I have downloaded in .tar.gz format [01:58] sebsebseb: Cool, can it burn .iso?

[01:58] MrGoodkat_, you can list multiple packages in the command , sudo dpkg -i packageone pakcagetwo etc , put the dependencies first [01:58] MaxRide: do us a favour and try double clicking on a iso file. tell us what happens [01:58] joljam: gunzip | tar -xv [01:58] DeadRobot: type /list [01:58] DeadRoot: What client ? [01:58] interesting [01:59] sebsebseb: It opens. [01:59] DeadRobot: oh.. type /list in IRC to see a list of channels :P [01:59] DeadRobot, you jight regret doing that , there are several 1000 channels on this network, and I think /list is disabled [01:59] joljam, untar it then look for install script, to untar tar -xvf file.tar.gz [01:59] hi, when i scan my ports, i get random high number ports that appear to be open, is this bad? [01:59] So I really dont need to have an antivirus program installed and running right? [01:59] MaxRide: yes K3B does the lot [01:59] <_VIM_> correct [01:59] HELP! After running fsck on my harddisken _everything_ got thrown into /lost+found, some with the names like #1235435, others with their original name. How do I recover from this state?! [01:59] sebsebseb: Sweet deal. Thanks! [01:59] MaxRide: also it's a good idea to md5 check sum your ISO before burning [01:59] spirited, that is correct you dont [01:59] thanks [02:00] MaxRide: ISO for? [02:00] wow nice. [02:00] sebsebseb: =/ Checksums are for wimps. I live iun the danger zone. [02:00] spirited, you might want one so you don'T pass along viruses to your windows using freinds, but for linux you don'T realy need one [02:00] sebsebseb: Knoppix, for cloning a laptop. [02:00] MaxRide: well 99% of the time it will have downloaded correctly, but still a good idea to md5check sum [02:00] spirited: try http://www.clamav.net/ [02:00] MaxRide: cloning a lap top? [02:01] sebsebseb: Yea. [02:01] MaxRide: just re install the OS on there [02:01] or [02:01] I just tried clamav, and it requires root to update, and i couldnt figure it out [02:01] spirited: try `sudo aptitude install clamav clamav-daemon clamav-freshclam` [02:01] is there a way to click a torrent file and have it download on a local server?

[02:03] I think I will hold out on the virus protection progs for now. [02:03] ammagendut: not sure what it's called, but you can find in it synaptic or use apt-get cache serach or whatever it is [02:03] Hi everyone. I installed Fedora 10 on a second machine a few nights ago but was/am having problems getting ethernet to work. So I decided to install ubuntu 8.10 on it since I have 8.04 on this machine and I'm more familiar with it. However, every time I try to boot the live cd it does not boot. I says boot from cd:, sits a few minutes, then boots fedora. For some reason I can get it to boot the cd after about 6-7 tries, but then when I try to in [02:03] stall I get a continuous screen of SQUASHFS errors. I searched all over google, and have found that I could try setting ide=nodma, but I can't get the cd to boot now. The cd drive works. I can see the files on the cd from fedora. I'm burning the cds from this machine, and all cd checks turn out fine. Does anyone have any advice? [02:04] Hi [02:04] http://192.168.0.10/phpmyadmin why does it say "Not Found" ? [02:04] ammagendut, open sypantic, do a search for zip, several pakages for 7zip will be visible, insgtall them , fileroller will be able to unpack 7zip files [02:04] how come open office 3.0 is not supported by ubuntu? [02:04] L3Tum: sounds like a bad CD [02:04] try localhost/phpmyadmin [02:04] L3Tum: or your CD drive has gone bad [02:04] thanks for the links and thanks for the advice. [02:04] noogie: still not working [02:04] ? [02:05] L3Tum, cd might be damaged , try in another comp, or change the boot order in your bios [02:05] ok thanks Pelo [02:05] L3Tum: I would also recommend trying a DVD over a CD [02:05] Oh, I did it =p [02:05] for that matter, most of ubuntus software is outdated [02:05] i had to remove pidgin-data in order to restore the icons [02:05] sadaiyappan: OOo 3.0 isnt fully stable compaired to 2.4.. which is why they chose to continue 2.4's support untill 3.0 becomes less buggy [02:05] sebsebseb: I'm cloning my EEEPC's disk to DVD because I want to change up the OS for a bit, but I'll end up going back to how it is now. [02:05] oh ok [02:05] sadaiyappan, different version, ubuntu only updates to fixes , not new versions, 3.0 will probably be in the next ubuntu release [02:06] ok [02:06] Even though the cd loads in fedora on that machine and shows files and all? I tried making another cd thinking it was bad, and same thing.The boot order is coirrect, I made sure a few times [02:06] ... that too [02:06] vip3rousmango: nice story, but I think. it's, because Ubuntu only does security updates, until a next release. w ith the exception of some ppas [02:06] just wondering if there's any ubuntu/linux experts in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia? [02:06] should i block outbound connections?

[02:09] how much RAM? [02:09] But SQUASHFS errors are a cd thing, or do they have to do with the machine? [02:09] 512mb [02:09] how do i do that dr williis [02:10] Dr_willis, yes [02:10] mamaro, many torrent clients can 'watch' a directory and auto-load torrents from them.. set up some shared location, and hafe the client watch - you just save the torrent to that location and away it goes. [02:10] oh ok.

NSPlugin-wrapper does expose XRender but the program that uses the lib has to implement the interface. Konqueror dose not do this, never has, may never do so in the future.

[04:31] NeoBlaster: System > Administration > Software Sources > Download from: Other... > Select Best Server (or choose your own) [04:31] neohaven: see above [04:31] NeoBlaster: sorry, wrong nick >.> [04:31] rww: I'll assume that was for me. [04:31] yeah :P [04:31] hehe [04:31] bah nobody replying in #linuxhelp :( [04:31] basically i have a .dmg that im trying to mount or extract. but im not having any success. [04:32] a tutorial; i found on the openchrome website says to type dmesg | grep -e agp -e drm and i should get [04:32] Linux agpgart interface v0.102 [04:32] agpgart: Detected VIA KM400/KM400A chipset [04:32] anyone here using the iphone sdk on linux? [04:32] agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xe0000000 [04:32] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810 [04:32] david__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:32] Hi i have a 4th Gen Ipod, and banshee says that it is working for it... but the ipod does not say that it is synchronizing when banshee says that it is doing stuff... help? [04:32] [drm] Initialized via 2.11.1 20070202 on minor 0 [04:32] FAJALOU: check dmesg, maybe [04:32] limpc: you can't use the official sdk on linux for as much as I know. :3 [04:32] im assuming its failing to mount the iphone [04:32] neohaven: yeah i doubt i can use it [04:32] just want to browse it and write code [04:32] limpc: you can't mount the iPhone as a drive. [04:32] limpc: where would i check that for banshee? [04:33] neohaven: you can with the ipod touch's [04:33] they're essentially the same device [04:33] Hi. I'm trying to downgrade some packages to the stock versions from intrepid, after disabling some third-party sources. I can't do it with aptitude, because it "can't find the packages to download." I can't do it with gdebi, because "a newer version is installed." And I can't do it with apt-get because "the latest version is already installed" [04:33] Can anyone help me? [04:33] amarok dosen't even work [04:34] saying can't play mp3.. yet everything else plays mp3s fine [04:34] limpc: You could try AcetoneISO2 it says it can handle a .dmg If it is not in Apt then you can get the .deb from www.getdeb.net [04:34] limpc: not directly, not out of the box, and no you can't. :P As far as I have played with those I own, I don't remember seeing any other way than getting some ftp or ssh server running on it. [04:34] jaminkle, install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package [04:34] TiZ: System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager, find and select the package to downgrade, Package > Force Version. That's worked for downgrading for me in the past, anyway. [04:34] limpc: a .dmg is just an HFS+ filesystem piped through bzip. [04:34] rww: I'll try it [04:34] jaminkle: try going to system>preferences>sound and switch those around. [04:34] if it's a compressed dmg, that is. [04:35] neohaven: http://www.fsckin.com/2007/09/23/how-to-mount-your-iphone-filesystem-on-your-desktop-in-ubuntu/ [04:35] FAJALOU: No, he needs to install mp3 support. [04:35] also http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/09/how-to-mount-your-iphone-filesystem-on.html [04:35] TiZ: or uninstall the packages and reinstall them. That tends to work if Force Version doesn't. [04:35] TiZ: that possible, but i know that i did that once and i installed banshee, and sound disappeared for me. [04:35] limpc: yeah, needs SSH and jailbreak. As I said earlier. [04:36] 𝑺𝑼𝑷 𝑮𝑼𝒀𝑺 [04:36] limpc: In that case, you wouldn't really mount the iPhone/iPod Touch, but more like connect to it with scp. [04:37] neohaven: sshfs :P [04:37] ubuntu would only install without a swap drive for some reason.. can i use grub to partition out a swap drive or do i need to reinstall [04:37] RHorse, could i possibly upgrade the packages using an intrepid alternate cd without upgrading the dist? [04:37] rww: But they're x11 libs. It's probably highly inadvisable to uninstall x11 libs for any amount of time. [04:37] limpc: you're *still* not connecting directly to the filesystem on the device, which is a variant of HFS+. :) [04:37] TiZ: ah, good point [04:37] ubuntu would only install without a swap drive for some reason.. can i use grub to partition out a swap drive or do i need to reinstall [04:37] neohaven: details, details! ;) [04:38] does ubuntu 8.10 have a text web browser installed by default anywhere? [04:38] numus: you can just make a swap file instead === flaco is now known as flacom [04:38] pepperjack how [04:38] limpc: anyway. with sshfs it's gonna be doable, but you need OpenSSH working properly first. [04:38] pepperjack doesnt it need to be on its own partition [04:39] ronin_: Lynks and others are available in the repositories. [04:39] limpc: and the sdk wouldn't even compile on linux. Apple's gcc is... peculiar, same for their make system, and their gcc actually can produce ARM .app folders... [04:39] speaking of sshfs...I just switched over to ubuntu on my server and I'm trying to figure out why sshfs isn't working for me. I can ssh in just fine, I can see my samba shares just fine...but sshfs gives me the Connection reset by peer error. Anyone know what is going on? [04:39] neohaven: that AcetoneISO2 link on getdeb.net is dead :( [04:39] numus: no. you can make a file and then format it and point to it in /etc/fstab as your swap or make a partition either way [04:39] anyone mind telling me why Steam wont startup in Ubuntu when i run it? [04:40] ubuntu-restricted-extras wont installed because of conflicted shit ahhh [04:40] thanks just checking before i install lynx [04:40] !ohmy > jaminkle [04:40] jaminkle, please see my private message [04:40] pepperjack you know where i can find a guide for this [04:40] limpc: that wasn't me. that was redvamp128... anyway, as I said, .dmg is just HFS+ piped through bzip. [04:40] 🂓 [04:41] 🂓🂓🂓🂓🂓🂓🂓🂓🂓🂓🂓🂓 [04:41] I am running kmail in gnome, it is stuck in full screen mode, I need help to exit this mode. [04:41] pepperjack i think i found it.. what size you recommend for a swap [04:41] berbs, try f11 [04:41] limpc: I think something like 'mount -t hfs -o loop yourDMGImage.dmg /mnt/macdmg' should pretty much work now. [04:41] 🂓wh🂓i🂓my🂓🂓🂓🂓typi🂓g🂓🂓🂓mes🂓d🂓up [04:41] neohaven: I said that because all he said at first was that he needed to open a .dmg and it does support opening a .dmg file- Though I didn't know he was trying to access a phone - so that is why I stepped out of that one. [04:42] anyone recommend a size for a swap file [04:42] mepholic: your encoding is wrong. :3 [04:42] 🂓🂓🂓🂓🂓🂓🂓🂓🂓🂓🂓🂓 [04:42] lolol [04:42] nah [04:42] numus: equal to amount of ram is typical recommendation maybe alittle more. you want at least that much to support suspend to disk [04:42] m t :P [04:42] mepholic, change to utf-8, in the server menu [04:42] neohaven, utf-8 is pretty cool [04:42] nvm [04:42] pepperjack i have 3.5 gigs of ram [04:43] numus, 2x RAM, max 2gig, [04:43] redvamp128: no need for software other than mount for a DMG! :3 [04:43] pelo so i should make it 2 gigs? [04:43] and for the phone, it's gonna be sshfs or something like that [04:43] :3 [04:43] pelo cause 2x my ram is 7 gigs [04:43] I have a problem. I followed these instructions (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89197) to change the font color of icons on my desktop... but now icons everywhere (e.g. Thunar file browser) also use white, on the standard white background of an application. [04:43] neohaven: i already tried that before [04:43] numus, with 3.5 gig or ram I would go for 1 gig, more then enough, unless you are running very ram intensive progs [04:43] numus: you dont really need much swap unless you want to have suspend to disk. if you do then maybe 4 gig file [04:43] thats what i pasted from dmesg [04:43] I am confused as to how I can rectify this situation... [04:44] numus: normally i only use about 256MB [04:44] pepperjack ubuntu is just a play around os for me.. primary is vista for now.. use to have 7 but untill wmp 12 is stable i wont be using 7 [04:44] limpc: what? the mount line? you tried that and it didn't work? [04:44] dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=1024 should be right for 1 gig swap right? [04:44] yeah earlier. [04:44] can anyone bye me a pc? [04:44] mikedoty, change one colour change them all, basicaly, you might want to change your theme until you get the colour fixed, so you can see what you are doing [04:44] also tried hfsplus [04:44] can anyone buy me a pc?

[04:45] ill buy mine first [04:45] naiba: stay on topic, please [04:45] any one speak portuguese [04:45] naiba, ppl in this channel can't even aford to buy an os , what do you think ?

[04:45] naiba: You just got banned from #debian. Try not to repeat the performance in here. [04:46] limpc: hfs, not hfsplus [04:46] try that [04:46] yeah they both give the same error [04:46] numus, I'm not familiar with dd , I use parted or gparted personnaly [04:46] pelo: maybe people from this channel are spending money on weed and cocaine, what do you belive? [04:46] true we cannot even get an os :P [04:46] Ok, I solved it by removing my existing .gtkrc-2.0 or whatever and just not specifying anything. Kind of hacky but oh well, I'm happy now. =) [04:47] Question; I just switched over to ubuntu on my server and I'm trying to figure out why sshfs isn't working for me. I can ssh in just fine, I can see my samba shares just fine...but sshfs gives me the Connection reset by peer error. Anyone know what is going on?

[05:13] hmm, maybe you can use mrtg [05:13] hide1713: although it might be a little overkill for what you want [05:14] Hi. I just installed NetBeans 6.5 inubuntu and i do not know how to run it? Help Please. [05:14] hide1713: you could use iftop, it doesn't track processes but it does connections, so you can tell which process is which by the remote host it's connected to [05:14] xGeek: Thx [05:14] ditto for mrtg, plus it needs snmp probably [05:14] miken:Thx [05:14] nsadmin: Thx, Thanks everyone [05:14] hide1713: oops... I just realized you want to know process specific. vnstat won't do that for you. [05:15] hello my ethernet card don't work my card is a realtek RTL8101E my ubuntu is 8.10 the kernel is 2.6.27-11-generic [05:16] xGeek: The problem is that I am working on RHEL5 and I am not a root user.

I have fuse loaded and users added to the necessary groups. I get Connection Reset by Peer every time. What needs to get changed so it works? [05:16] hide1713: the topic for this channel is ubuntu support [05:16] for servers you can watch the logs on the server side [05:17] tritium: Well, I use ubuntu and I ssh to that RHEL.

[05:22] It seems like I have a problem with my video drivers, when I go to hulu and play a video it's choppy, I have an ATI radeon Xpress 200 integrated chip === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [05:22] Videos worked fine in windows btw [05:23] perhaps an additional news item should be posted announcing that squeeze is now testing? then link to that [05:23] Ivanlul, do you have the radeon driver? [05:23] Is there anyway to add go-oo as a repository so I can get the latest distribution? There's too many rpm files to choose from just using the FTP site [05:23] yeah [05:23] I think i do [05:23] gbear14275 specific informative concise complete... more people will know if they can help. [05:23] Ivanlul, well you should make sure [05:23] I'm pretty sure [05:23] Ivanlul, is compiz on? [05:24] yeah, I went to hardware drivers and I have an ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver [05:24] nop [05:24] anybody help a beginner to compile xchat :/ [05:24] but how do I check? [05:24] kookaboorra, don't compile, sudo apt-get install xchat [05:24] Ivanlul, it's in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:24] nsadmin: runnig 8.10 x64 trying to install the java feb update (http://download.java.net/jdk6/) looking for some help as I'm not exactly sure if I should be running from a prompt [05:24] kookaboorra why do you want to compile? btw it's pretty easy [05:25] I've never used compiz [05:25] nsadmin: E: Couldn't find package xchat [05:25] what does that mean? [05:26] kookaboorra, sudo apt-get update [05:26] kookaboorra your read is as good as mine... [05:26] "QGtkStyle cannot be used together with the GTK_Qt engine." Even though I removed the engine. [05:26] kookaboorra, then sudo apt-get install xchat [05:26] kookaboorra: sudo apt-get update first. If that doesn't help, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file. [05:26] binarymutant: I went to that file [05:26] ok [05:26] Ivanlul, what did it say under Device ? [05:27] Ivanlul, dont paste/flood though [05:27] binarymutant: device or section device? [05:28] Ivanlul, the section device should have 'driver '... blah blah blah [05:28] binarymutant: Configured Video Device" [05:29] I though you were looking for the driver [05:29] binarymutant: Identifier "Configured Video Device" [05:29] Driver "fglrx" [05:29] are you using Desktop Effects? [05:29] none [05:30] no clue, maybe add more ram [05:30] it worked fine on windows :\ [05:30] I'm sure it did [05:30] lol [05:30] I still love ubuntu [05:31] I just want my graphics to work better [05:31] #canonical [05:31] anyone installed and have working the 64 bit version of java update from february? [05:31] Ivanlul, flash-nonfree installed? [05:31] think it has something to do with acceleration? [05:31] I don't think so [05:32] Ivanlul, where'd you get flash? [05:32] what do I type on the terminal to install it [05:32] like, where'd I buy it? [05:32] rhorse [05:33] Ivanlul, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [05:33] where is teh infomration on boot up stored.? all the verbose stuff? [05:33] josh__, /var/log/messages [05:33] yeah it's installed [05:33] no upgrades or anything [05:34] anyone else have an x-fi card and have the pulseaudio process hijack 100 CPU every so often? it locks up the machine for like 1500 ms then returns to normal function. [05:34] Ivanlul, maybe hulu is just acting up [05:34] i have 1 hdd which previosly used on my winxp machine [05:34] hmm [05:34] maybe [05:34] I have another question [05:35] i have 1 hdd which previosly used on my winxp machine. i already put it on my ubuntu machine. but how to repartition and reformat that drive [05:35] rj_, try gparted [05:35] rj_: You will want to boot to a live cd [05:36] http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=11896448 [05:36] Is this build compatible with ubuntu [05:36] no.... i already install my ubuntu... just need to add another HDD but how to delete the current partition and recreate it and reformat it as well [05:37] I mean the black screen with all that information, where is that stored or logged? [05:37] Ivanlul, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/ [05:37] thanks [05:37] rj_: then use gparted [05:37] is it possible to repartiion my drive in ubuntu (currently its the only os on the machine) without creating problems? [05:38] in terminal rite.. let me try [05:38] repartition [05:38] illumin8: well itll depend on how your filesystems are setup [05:38] Does anyone know how I can get usb tethering working with a windows mobile phone (WM5) on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid? I don't have ethernet/wifi access right now, so it would be an offline install. And I don't know how to compile... :S [05:38] josh__, /var/log/dmesg is this what you want? [05:38] letalis, im attempting to put some other debian based oses on the machine like the new debian 5.0 [05:38] let me check [05:39] well if /home is a separate partiton on the machine, there might be hope [05:39] letalis, all my file system is set up on one drive i believe with Home folder being the majority of memory [05:39] what program can I use in ubuntu to track all the get/post from a website when I login? I want to automate this process but need to know what is sent [05:39] letalis, how can i pull up something you can see to judge the setup? [05:40] ronin_, like an rss reader? [05:40] wait a minute [05:40] where's the latest one? is it in a archive [05:40] otherwise, if it resides in / on the same filesystem, you may run into some issues with the new installer bloing away all that was on it [05:40] ddc on DVI does NOT work in open source driver, you have to edit xorg.conf for correct resolution & refresh rate. Does not recognize size of video memory correctly. Dual head not working for me on HP dc5750. 3D only accelerated in proprietary driver. [05:40] josh__, dmesg is the latest [05:40] type df -h in a console [05:40] WHat'd I have to do? [05:40] itll tell you what is mounted where [05:40] k thanks [05:40] does it make sense that if I run sudo ifup -a; dmesg | grep wlan0 I get no output? [05:40] letalis, k [05:40] Ivanlul, if it doesnt work, it doesnt work [05:41] hmm [05:41] k [05:41] basically as you could contemplate from the command I don't get wireless [05:41] wireless simply refuses to work [05:41] and I have no idea why [05:41] illumin8: if you do not implicitly see /home as a mount point, you could have issues keeping your personal information in a new install [05:41] Tyrath_, what driver? [05:42] I have /etc/init.d/networking restarted about a thousand times [05:42] reconfigured /etc/network/interfaces about a thousand times [05:42] and if youre like me and dont use the ext3 filesystem at all that could further complicate things [05:42] letalis, i see / but / is not home? [05:42] Ivanlul: ati card? you could /join #radeon and see [05:42] binarymutant: I have no idea [05:42] binarymutant: and I have no idea how to update it either [05:42] Tyrath_, whats the hardware? [05:42] illumin8: no, home is /home [05:42] nope / is the main filesystem that all others resde in [05:42] reside [05:42] Ah ok [05:42] binarymutant: DLINK DSL-G604T [05:43] So it will require me to set up multiple partions then reinstall all the oses. [05:43] What's the whiziest, most eye catching and jaw dropping linux application to convert windows users with? Beryl? Open Office? [05:43] hi, I like the ubuntu [05:43] if home was not implicitly listed in the df command, the /home is in / and that means more than likely that everything on / wil get blown away in a new install [05:43] I'm trying to get blu ray workin' on my ubuntu server 64 bit. I keep running into a jre type error "missing library libmawt.so". I can't seem to find out how to install it. [05:43] Tyrath_, whats the hardware in the computer? I mean the wireless card [05:43] I'm trying to automate log in an retrival to a website using wget but i need to know what the website post comman on login contains so i can do that [05:43] kingsley, There is none. [05:43] hey everyone, does it really matter what filesystem you use? or is ext3 for home and root the best choice cause thats the default? [05:43] oh, and I've also turned on and off NetworkManager a stack of times to no avail - by using the start/stop commands [05:43] your best bet will be to backup the /home folder to another device [05:44] then do it. [05:44] kingsley, though I suggest loading everything they use on the regular basis and then throw XFCE in there. [05:44] letalis, thanks for the great info :) [05:44] Can anyone help me with ftp settings for joomla? [05:44] sure thing hief [05:44] binarymutant: is there anyway I can find out [05:44] chief [05:44] :) [05:44] binarymutant: I thought there was some lspci command or somthing [05:44] binskipy2u: you could use reiser or even xfs etc. ext3 is the standard for now until ext4 gains more momentum [05:44] Tyrath_, you could open the computer case [05:44] Tyrath_, or lspci yes [05:44] Can anyone help me with ftp settings for joomla? [05:44] whats the best choice for a 500gig hd? [05:44] sata [05:45] bin [05:45] Brand or what? [05:45] I'm using this one for my new build [05:45] !reiserfs [05:45] reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html [05:45] !xfs [05:45] xfs is a high-performance journaling filesystem originally developped by Silicon Graphics for their IRIX OS. It is now fully supported by Linux so you can install Ubuntu on it if you wish. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS [05:45] is there any software for gnome that can do what itunes does as far as putting songs onto my ipod and doing it properly? [05:45] !ext4 [05:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext4 [05:45] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148395 [05:45] aw [05:45] ohzie: Can you elaborate on why XFCE might impress windows users? [05:45] I hate that goddamn ubottu [05:45] what will cause APCI to stick @ the top of my list on PowerTOP? [05:45] skate2, rhythmbox [05:45] i cant stand xfce personally [05:45] Kingsley aside from running way faster? [05:45] * letalis uses reiserfs and xfs for all filesystems [05:45] :) [05:45] ducks [05:45] whats the difference between intrepid and intrepid ibex, and does anyone here use fvwm? [05:46] they are the same [05:46] How can I get the libmawt.so java library? [05:46] kingsley: xubuntu wont impress anyone with the default theme. its kinda ugly and plain but its really easy to make it pretty presentable [05:46] so what should / be and what should home be? [05:46] intrepid is just the shortened name [05:46] ok its working [05:46] the same? [05:46] Can anyone help me with ftp settings for joomla? === e_e is now known as innociv [05:46] ive even seen people just call it ibex too. [05:46] And is anyone here running joomla on ubuntu [05:46] what will cause APCI to stick @ the top of my list on PowerTOP? [05:46] either way they refer to ubuntu 8.10 [05:46] Any help at all? [05:46] binarymutant: lspci -v | grep ethernet gives me Hewlett-Packard Company Device 30a5 [05:46] 'lo [05:47] kingsley, After using linux and windows off and on, both, for a long time, I'm impressed with XFCE's simplicity. I really cannot stand thunar though. [05:47] Thunar is poop. [05:47] pepperja1k: Can you be more specific about precisely how you'd make it more presentable? [05:47] tonylthornton: id suggest a /join #joomla as that channel looks pretty active [05:47] But the window manager itself, and most of the tools with it, are very nice. [05:47] Thanks pepperjack [05:47] i'm on x64 intrepid and i'm having trouble with adobe flash 10 x64 alpha release. flash videos WORK, but the CPU spikes and it gets really slow in fullscreen [05:47] Much more stable than KDE. KDE doesn't seem to like my graphics card. [05:47] binarymutant: what do you make of that? [05:48] ohzie: i remember when i used to just use the blackbox window manager and nothing else. [05:48] now, that was simple. [05:48] :D [05:48] kingsley: i usually put both panels together at top or bottom one on each side. change the gtk theme and splash image and background. after that it looks pretty slick especially for the underpowered boxes i use it on [05:48] letalis, I used Fluxbox. :) [05:48] yossarian.. isnt flash & java 64bit both final now? [05:48] Tyrath_, idk if thats a wifi card or not, I didn't think hp made wifi cards [05:48] how to connect to other and run rsync through the network [05:48] i have it on this mint install [05:48] letalis, I see XFCE as the usability of gnome with the ease of fluxbox. :D [05:48] both are 64bit and from what ive read, final [05:48] kingsley: nothing fancy [05:49] binarymutant: do you want me to pastebin dmesg? [05:49] i like having my at a glance indicators in gnome [05:49] binskipy2u: dunno, gimme link then :\ from what i've found so far, it's still alpha. [05:49] Tyrath_, what about grepping for wireless instead [05:49] http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Adobe-Flash-Player-64-bit-on-Ubuntu-8-10-98076.shtml [05:49] and the flexibility of making gnome as simplistic or as hardcore advanced as i want it to be [05:49] binarymutant: grepping for wireless doesn't return anything :/ [05:49] :) [05:49] yeah, have this version [05:49] I [05:49] how to connect to other and run rsync through the network ..... [05:49] :/ [05:49] so everyone.. what is the best file system for a 500gig sata for ubuntu for / and /home [05:49] binarymutant: should I pastebin my dmesg and give you the link? [05:50] Tyrath_, ya pastebin dmesg I guess. But you could always just open the pc up and look for the card [05:50] same for each or different for one or the other [05:50] binarymutant: when I grep ethernet it does state that that's the ethernet device [05:50] binskipy2u: ext3 [05:50] when i run 'ps -U root -u root u' to see all the processes running as root, it shows tons. i thought ubuntu doesnt run processes as root? [05:50] how to connect to other and run rsync through the network ..... can anyone guide me on this [05:50] binskipy2u: xfs will be the fastest but its more vulnerable i suppose to sudden power loss.. you could use ext4. im not sure about its supported status in ubuntu yet [05:51] binskipy2u, its personal preference [05:51] ok [05:51] binarymutant: http://pastebin.com/f206fe120 [05:51] skate2, anything run by sudo belongs to root [05:51] just asking, i have both /and /home ext3 [05:51] so any ideas why adobe flash doesn't work too well on x64 intrepid? [05:51] is anyone else using this? [05:51] pepperjack, binskipy2u: ext4 is not supported in Intrepid (the current version of Ubuntu), but will be supported (but not default) in Jaunty (the next version) [05:51] it works GREAT on 64bit opera [05:51] binskipy2u; i have a 1.5TB that is ext3.. works well for me [05:51] for a usb stick...whats the best file system..for linux and windows to read it right now im going to format and do a unetbootin install on it with ubuntu...fat 16 or fat32 [05:51] Anyone else have an X-Fi card and have the pulseaudio process hijack 100 % CPU every so often? It locks up the machine for like 1500 ms then returns to normal function. [05:51] but works like every other time in firefox for whatever reason i dont know [05:51] Tyrath_, iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux [05:51] binskipy2u: can you view youtube clips in fullscreen? [05:51] binskipy2u: my thing is this, having a dedicated home partition will make for upgrades to be more bearable because you can tell an installer not to touch it and leave it as it is [05:52] yes [05:52] some are better then others [05:52] though the drawback is that it also limits the amount of space in the /home folder [05:52] any idea why it's going like crap here? :( [05:52] since most of your downloaded crap will wind up there, its like forcing a quota on yourself [05:52] Tyrath_, that should be working without problems whats up with it? :/ [05:52] whats the difference between intrepid and intrepid ibex, and does anyone here use fvwm? [05:52] how to connect to other and run rsync through the network ..... can anyone guide me on this [05:52] letalis: you can always ln -s other user directories to like /usr/home or something [05:53] madmike: intrepid is the same as intrepid ibex is the same as 8.10. [05:53] how to connect to other PC and run rsync through the network ..... can anyone guide me on this [05:53] madmike, they are one and the same [05:53] hi i am not able to install the b43 drivers for my broadcom chipset. i installed the b43-fwcutter but it still shows "wl" as the kernel driver in use [05:53] binarymutant: can't get wireless working [05:53] i want to use b43 as the driver instead of wl.. if i blacklist wl in modprobe.d then my card doesn't get detecte [05:53] binarymutant: it happened right after my brother removed the WEP password on the router [05:53] Tyrath_, is it turned off in the BIOS? [05:53] pepperjack: this is true. but getting ln happy leads to later 'wth happened to this?' syndrome ;) [05:54] binarymutant: how can I check that? [05:54] LOL [05:54] how to connect to other PC and run rsync through the network ..... can anyone guide me on this [05:54] binarymutant: I blacklisted ipv6 recently just incase it was that [05:54] Tyrath_, pastebin this command `sudo ifconfig` [05:54] thanks rww and bazhang [05:55] binarymutant: because before dmesg was telling me it couldn't locate ipv6 [05:55] Tyrath_, and `sudo iwconfig` [05:55] binarymutant: i'll give you sudo ifconfig -a [05:55] how to connect to other PC and run rsync through the network ..... can anyone guide me on this [05:55] regardless of looks, and packages, whats the fastest (for the most part) DE, kde 4.2 or gnome 2.24.2 [05:55] whats the difference in 8.10 and dauiy [05:55] anyone have "both" [05:55] and have an answer for that [05:55] opps 8.10 and daily [05:56] binskipy2u, I'd say gnome. [05:56] KDE gives me serious issues [05:56] binskipy2u: id say gnome overall is faster. [05:56] kde 4 is slower then gnome [05:56] if you go the kde route at this time id stick with kde 3.5 [05:56] i don't like kde :\ [05:57] 4 is nice and pretty but hardly ready for primetime. [05:57] damn why is flash playing so badly here :( [05:57] because it's proprietary [05:57] whats the difference the ubuntu 8.10 and daily builds [05:57] one more question guys.. then ill be done.. lol.. if you have gnome, and install kde, 1. does it slow things down with both DE's? and 2. what do you install kde or kubuntu-desktop in synaptic? [05:57] binarymutant: http://pastebin.com/f311e5dc7 [05:57] my Tomboy notes keep changing their window position (in Gnome) every time they're opened. I like them to stay in one place. does anyone know of a setting I could configure to do this? [05:58] binskipy2u, no effect practically; kubuntu-desktop if you have 8.10 [05:58] binskipy2u: haivng both will do nothing tot he performance of the other [05:58] what will cause APCI to stick @ the top of my list on PowerTOP? [05:58] binarymutant: - sorry for the wait. I had to sudo su before it let me pastebin ifconfig -a --- really bizarre [05:58] in fact they dont both run at the same time [05:58] binskipy2u, if you have hardy then kubuntu-kde4-desktop [05:58] so choose both "kde" and "kubuntu-desktop"? [05:58] binskipy2u, no [05:58] as for installing kde, kubuntu-desktop will install kde as if you used a kubuntu install disk [05:58] im using intrepid [05:58] sorry didnt see "hardy" in your response [05:58] the latter only [05:59] thanks guys,... very helpful :) [05:59] Tyrath_, give me iwconfig too [05:59] And is anyone here running joomla on ubuntu [06:00] wudup! [06:01] what will cause APCI to stick @ the top of my list on PowerTOP? [06:02] jeeves_Moss: gremlins? [06:02] pepperjack, thanks [06:02] pepperjack, I figured [06:02] jeeves_Moss, there are a number of things that affect powertop, something will always be at the top [06:02] no idea jeeves_Moss, sorry [06:02] jeeves_Moss, have you done the suggestions it gives you? [06:03] binarymutant, it's more like the system chokes on something simple like e-mail and FF [06:03] jeeves_Moss, I dont think that has anything to do with acpi [06:03] hi i need a bit . i try to install ubuntu 6.10 live for my mac ibook g4 , but the thing, the cd boot fine, only till i try install it, the sreen gose white after i pust, enter. when i try use my keybrad , i seem to miss key"s when i spell , can tell what wrong or which a better linux for ppc g4 [06:04] Does anyone know about iscsi? [06:04] binarymutant, I know, but that's the point [06:04] binarymutant: http://pastebin.com/f5d3e335c [06:04] I like the ubuntu a lot [06:04] binarymutant, this box has also taken to not launching some apps, etc [06:04] Tyrath_, do you want the GUI way or the CLI way? [06:05] jeeves_Moss, I've only used powertop for the suggestions that it gives you, you might be having hardware failure [06:06] Tyrath_, sudo iwconfig essid enc on key s: [06:06] binarymutant, lol, woulden't suprize me. it's a Toshiba laptop [06:06] Tyrath_, oops, it's `sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid enc on key s:` [06:07] binarymutant: I'll give it a shot [06:07] can someone link me to that ubuntu paste website [06:07] jeeves_Moss, if your running on battery thats why acpi would be at the top [06:07] Ivanlul, paste.ubuntu.com [06:07] thanks [06:07] binarymutant, it's plugged in [06:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/118724/ [06:08] binarymutant: what's that do? [06:08] can you explain that to me [06:08] jeeves_Moss, no clue, run the apps that don't want to pull up from a terminal and then pastebin the output I guess [06:08] I downloaded it, what do I do now? [06:08] Tyrath_, if you did it then do `sudo dhclient` [06:09] binarymutant: what does it do? [06:09] binarymutant, I think I'll blow it away and start fresh again. it's been a while [06:09] binarymutant: I don't want to set a wep key if at all possible [06:09] Tyrath_, connects to your wifi and pulls an ip [06:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/118724/ - what do I do? [06:10] binarymutant: I'm getting, unknown command "DLINK" === b1 is now known as co_need_co_smg [06:10] do i need to add my external IP or anything to my apache config files at all? [06:10] Tyrath_, if you dont have a password set then its just `sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid && sudo dhclient` [06:11] B1OS, no [06:11] cant connect :( [06:11] B1OS, is it running? [06:11] ok, maybe I'm not 'grasping' this but why doesn't youtube sound work with intrepid? [06:11] i can connect locally [06:12] hi there [06:12] via localhost [06:12] B1OS, sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [06:12] I can see both ruby 1.8 and 1.9 in synaptic ... 1.8 is installed what will happen if I install 1.9 also [06:12] and internal IP [06:12] silv3r_m001, you'll just have both installed. so nothing will happen [06:13] B1OS, firewall? [06:13] silv3r_m001, 1.8 will be default still [06:13] binarymutant: so how will I run 1.9 ? [06:13] can someone tell me what to do please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/118724/ [06:13] binarymutant: wont there be any conflicts ? [06:13] silv3r_m001, ruby1.9 [06:13] pss [06:13] I'm glad I dual booted, at least I can get back to Vista for youtube stuff, sucks that something so good is missing support for such a popular website [06:13] silv3r_m001, nah, seperate directories and everything [06:13] hey guy on interepid i did it once but cant seem to do it again for some reason..disable recent documents [06:13] constantine: what's wrong? [06:13] binarymutant: hmm [06:14] ive added port 80 and 443 [06:14] Ivanlul: I can't get sound on youtube, I installed the nonflashfree, I uninstalled, reinstalled pulse audio....tried other things that I've forgotten by now [06:14] B1OS; almost all isp's block port 80 if you don't have a commercial subscription [06:15] I'm setting up virtualbox, and trying to set up the mouse, but the guest additions iso isn't downloading, and the version of the guest additions in synaptic fails to install. anybody set this up before [06:15] thats not true, AT&T doesnt [06:15] it judt tries connect to my router when putting my external IP in a browser [06:15] B1OS, are they forwarded to the machine running apache [06:15] Ivanlul: the best answer I got here was "Talk to Adobe" lol.....well that is a problem because I never met Adobe and don't know where he lives [06:15] atom^x: yes [06:16] B1OS, does apache start without error? [06:16] hold on [06:17] constantine: i just got here, are you just trying to install flash? [06:17] binarymutant: still getting the same result [06:17] Tyrath_, :/ [06:17] B1OS, blocked by isp? ck apache logs.. [06:17] rip_:no I am trying to get youtube sound to work in Ubuntu 8.10 [06:17] constantine: did you install adobe's version of flash, or one of the open source versions? [06:18] Tyrath_, the unknown command dlink error? or just doesn't pull an ip? [06:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/118726/ [06:18] is that normal? [06:18] rip_: I believe I installed one of the open source versions....but not sure - how can I check it? [06:18] B10S, and you can't connect to 127.0.0.1 from that machine? [06:19] i can [06:19] hmm [06:19] B10S, what's the problem again? srry [06:19] hey [06:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/118724/ can someone help me with this? I don't understand the last line, I'm new to linux. [06:19] constantine: i had the same problem with the open source versions. though adobe's is "nonfree", unfortunately it does perform much better than the open source ones (from my experience) one second while i try to remember how to check [06:19] cant connect with my external IP [06:20] B10S, you won't be able to connect from inside the lan to your external ip [06:20] no possible way? [06:20] B10S, no possible way from your lan [06:20] I really, really like the ubuntu [06:20] B10S, use internal ip from within the LAN [06:20] Can someone explain the last line please? [06:21] Ivanlul; that is telling you what to do. how to compile it [06:21] constantine: in firefox just goto tools>add-ons, then goto the plugins tab, and uninstall the open source ones. visit a youtube video, then install flash from adobe [06:21] can you tell me step by step how to compile it? [06:21] B10S, just make sure to set up port forwarding in your router so that other people can connect to it [06:22] is it normal that it tries to connect to my router (when i try cnnecting to my external IP)? [06:22] hi, is someone able to assist. I have installed KDE and have KDM running at boot, but it's still defaulting to Gnome when I log in. I would like the default to be KDE with Gnome as a "session type" option. [06:22] other people meaning outside the lan [06:22] B10S, what do you mean? [06:22] i'll block WAN users for now [06:23] binarymutant: when i type my external IP in a browser on my network, it askes me for my router login details [06:23] B10S, that's normal [06:24] How do I upgrade one package with aptitude? [06:24] How do I compile something? [06:24] B10S, it should just say "cannot connect" or whatnot [06:24] i guess it is normal from my local network [06:24] rip_: are any of these considered open source, if not, I don't have any add-ons for that yet I'm not getting prompted at youtube: GCJ web browser plugin for java applets, shockwave flash, totem web browser plugin 2.24.3 for video and audio streams [06:24] B10S, well mine just says cannot connect [06:24] test [06:25] hey everybody, I am running Ubuntu 8.10 and it constantly crashes. Any suggestions? [06:25] B10S, but your apache looks/sounds normal [06:25] Hi; dumb question, I have an ATI RAGE 128 Pro XL [06:25] phasma, You need more information than that. [06:25] binarymutant: the unknown command error :/ [06:25] How i can i make it work pretty :) [06:25] lol. [06:25] nicest way to re-install grub into the mbr? [06:25] so i have to wait now and test if it works from someone elses computer [06:25] phasma, check logs to see which bit is crashing [06:25] !troubleshooting > phasma [06:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about troubleshooting [06:25] Oh. :[ [06:26] hi! I am using a "acer aspire 5335-2238" and I am trying to get the wireless drivers working. wheres a good place to start? [06:26] binarymutant: iwgetid pulls me a blank essid. possibly the comp isn't even locating the router... [06:26] constantine: what is the gjc plugin do? [06:26] Everytime I try apt-get install or download something it crashes and freezes up. [06:26] !grub | askvictor, first link [06:26] askvictor, first link: 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 [06:26] tuxflavrdwafls: google ndiswrapper [06:26] and my neighbours wireless is no longer open to me :( [06:26] Tyrath_, iwconfig wlan0 essid .... ? not forgetting the 'wlan0'? [06:27] hahaha [06:27] neighbours wireless [06:27] nice [06:27] rip_: it executes java applets [06:27] :) [06:27] This is a known issue, do you know if you are using an atheros card? [06:27] Will gtk-sharp2 2.12 appear in the Gutsy Gibbon repository? (It is in the Intrepid) [06:28] B10S; using http://localhost/ should connect you to your apache server [06:28] Where are the logs to check to see why Ubuntu crashed? [06:28] constantine: could this be the source of the problem, i know if you disallow java, youtube videos fail to load. "shockwave flash" is what adobe calls the plugin [06:28] binarymutant: ah - that was it. so I got a result there, now what? pull out my cord and see what happens? [06:28] constantine: try removing it, if you know where its from and all that, and just see if it works [06:28] bastid_raZor: it does: shows my site in /var/www [06:28] B10S; then apache is working. [06:28] Tyrath_, dont pull the cat5 out yet, but then do the `sudo dhclient` and see if you can pull an IP [06:29] i no, but i dont know if its working externally yet [06:29] B10S, whats your IP i'll check it [06:29] B10S, you can PM if you want too [06:30] binarymutant: it's 10.1.1.2 [06:30] B10S, works d00d [06:31] what can you see? [06:31] Tyrath_, k, you can pull out the cord now [06:31] rip_: I uninstalled shockwave and went to the youtube site....no video was displayed and it said "get the latest version of adobe flash player" so I clicked, got the deb package and now it says: "error: a later version is already installed" [06:31] B10S, you want a screenshot? [06:31] how do I compile something? [06:31] ok [06:31] constantine: when you uninstalled it, did you fully close out and restart firefox? [06:32] Ivanlul; follow those instruction it gave you. [06:32] !compile | Ivanlul [06:32] Ivanlul: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [06:32] thanks!! [06:32] Does anybody else have the spastic crashing problem? [06:32] rip_: yes I closed all windows, even the download window [06:33] binarymutant: you are a genious! [06:33] binarymutant: I am on wireless [06:33] Tyrath_, :) === nathan__ is now known as anhtna [06:33] constantine: but it still says its installed... is it in the plugins window? (and i meant uninstall the java applet plugin you had) [06:33] binarymutant: i love you, you'll have to forgive me but this is awesome! [06:33] B10S, http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/735/b1osef9.png [06:33] rip_: I misunderstood that part, I uninstalled shockwave [06:34] binarymutant: so would the next step be to take down those commands you gave me and put them in a safe place? [06:34] constantine: my fault, i forgot to say specifically [06:34] good good :) [06:34] what is a .bin file? [06:34] file nameoffile.bin [06:34] Tyrath_, well you should be able to use nm-applet the network manager thing too, but you can always use those commands if the gui doesnt want to work [06:34] might help you [06:35] rip_: there is also a seperate "java applet" should I kill that also? [06:35] tuxflavrdwafls: typically that is meant to designate an executable file. like .exe in windows [06:35] constantine: running under firefox? yea anything that is. [06:35] sounds lika virus to me [06:36] pepperjack good thing i dont use windows [06:37] hello [06:37] rip_: expectedly, the video is back but disabling all java didn't bring sound to youtube [06:37] guys. 32bit vs 64bit? :( [06:37] tuxflavrdwafls: could be an CD iso sometimes they are .bin, on linux though most of the time they are binaries [06:38] binarymutant: I totally don't get why some things work sometimes and not others... [06:38] binarymutant: like sometimes ifup -a is enough to get wireless on [06:38] binarymutant: othertimes i need to sudo networking restart [06:38] constantine: so you uninstalled that gxx plugin, uninstalled flash, reinstalled flash, and still no sound? by default on all setups ive done, installing flash with nothing else sound works as long as its not the open source ones. are you positive your volume is up (not mocking you), and the pcm volume is up? can you hear other audio? [06:38] binarymutant: other times i need to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file === pc-03 is now known as doel [06:39] anyone know how I can get "libmawt.so" ? [06:39] I know it's a java related thing, but can't find anything on google [06:39] Tyrath_, depending on the wireless driver, networking can get really screwy [06:39] Tyrath_, I just remember ifconfig and iwconfig because they are in the lower level stack, like ifup is just a script that uses ifconfig [06:39] Tyrath_, iwconfig + lousy driver = hell [06:40] Tyrath_, you have a good driver :P [06:40] rip_: audio is just fine,.....except youtube audio.....even other flash sites work - it may be that there is an open source flash player that I installed outside of firefox, but I've installed quite a few packages and am not sure how to check [06:40] constantine: oh thats odd... so audio sources using flash in other places like metacafe work? [06:41] constantine: dpkg -l | grep gnash [06:41] rip_:metacafe works lol but not youtube? [06:42] jphase; http://www.thetacticalnuke.com/2008/tip-fix-java-not-finding-libmawtso-ubuntu-810/ .. i found this on google :P [06:42] I'm still having problems, can someone explain this to me step by step? http://paste.ubuntu.com/118724/ [06:42] Ivanlul, I thought you were already using fglrx ? [06:42] constantine: well thats where i get off the train, i have no idea where to begin where it works at one place but not another. codec issue? no clue at that point. very bizzare, sorry i can't be of more help. haven't run into that beforew [06:42] I am [06:43] ii gnash 0.8.4-0ubuntu1 free SWF movie player [06:43] ii gnash-common 0.8.4-0ubuntu1 free SWF movie player - common files/librari [06:43] Ivanlul, why are you trying to compile it? [06:43] Ivanlul, why do you want to compile the free driver; is there a problem with the one in ubuntu and your card? [06:43] yeah prob [06:43] seriously peeps. x32 or x64 ubuntu? [06:43] help, I just did a fresh install from the desktop cd, andupdated everything, but I dont get the splash screen (ubuntu image with orange bar) [06:43] I keep getting choppy video [06:43] where do i find a .inf file for ndiswrapper? [06:43] Ivanlul: me too [06:43] bastid_raZor, your googl schools are far superior. Your master taught you well! [06:43] yossarian, more than 4gb? Think 64bit. less? no reason to [06:43] thanks [06:43] google* [06:43] wow. [06:44] nickrud: thanks for that :) [06:44] jphase; i googled libmawt.so [06:44] oh and is 9.04 ready for desktop use? [06:44] yossarian, no. Talk to the guys in #ubuntu+1 for more info [06:44] Ivanlul, you should check to see if your hardware is compatible with the driver. Also, if it's integrated you might consider buying an actual video card because it might just be using 2MB of cache, etc [06:44] HELP: im not getting the ubuntu splash screen after a fresh install [06:45] aka the card could just suck :/ [06:45] hmm [06:45] hello everyone [06:45] well I'ma build a new system pretty soon [06:45] Sorry to bother, but for anyone with a flash enabled browser... does this work? http://vyew.com/desktop/543154/ds-36413 Trying to test a desktop cam >.< [06:45] Ivanlul, binarymutant has some good points there :) Did someone tell you that your card would definitely work better if you compile the latest? [06:45] i'm new here been looking for help on the forums and i haven't seen an answer so i fifured i'd give the irc a try:P [06:45] yep [06:45] Elda, it says flash not installed for me, but it is [06:45] bleh... yeah [06:46] I enjoy the ubuntu [06:46] na [06:46] constantine: free swf player? thats the same thing i used to use that didnt allow sound [06:46] magevideogames: ?

[06:47] magevideogames, your going to want to make a script for that probably [06:47] move all files starting with a to directory a all files startign with b to directory b ect. and create the directory if it doesn't already exist [06:47] B10S; ln -s [06:47] oh [06:47] sweet site [06:47] help: I dont have a splash screen when I start my system, this is a fresh install [06:47] constantine: I can't remember the terminal command, but you should be able to find it in synaptic under "gnash" (thanks pepperjack for jogging my memory with that) [06:47] !splash [06:47] To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.

[06:51] magevideogames: i would think a simple for i in ./*; do cp $i /mnt/dir; done would do that [06:51] yes, I click the restart button in the infobar [06:51] magevideogames: but it seems redundant [06:51] Ivanlul, I struggled getting my Radeon HD 3300 to take in ubuntu, but I found a forum post on it and got things working. Search ubuntuforums [06:51] binarymutant: how do you figure? HP 30a5 - doesn't mean anything to me lol [06:52] and using sudo everytime is a task and a half :o [06:52] rip_: yes [06:52] Tyrath_, huh? [06:52] from what i gather from that line it says for each file in the directory copy to /mnt/dir [06:52] but does that assign them alphabetically? [06:52] Tyrath_, thats not your wifi thats your ethernet [06:52] binarymutant: isn't that the driver for my wireless? [06:52] binarymutant: ah k [06:52] constantine: do dpkg -l | grep gnash one more time to make sure its gone [06:52] binarymutant: what's my wifi driver?

[06:54] i just tried to install "Broadcom 4312 WLAN Driver v4.170.25.19 Vista x86_x64" with ndiswrapper but i dont know if that is actually what i need, and i dont think it worked. any suggestions? [06:54] Tyrath_, Tyrath_, iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux [06:54] hlm: did you type no splash in the grub file? [06:54] Remote desktop in preferences will let you display your desktop [06:55] Hi all! I'd like to make a rsync script that makes a real incremental backup; that is, based on a complete backup, I want it to identify changes and to copy new/modified files in a NEW folder, not just to sync the original backup folder. Is it possible, and how? [06:55] hlm: I can't remember what the file is but basically you will need to remove wherever it says quiet no splash in the file [06:55] rip_: no sound even with that command [06:55] Tyrath_: It's /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:55] hlm: that's providing you are on that particular boot for grub [06:56] hi! [06:56] ackbahr does it have to be rsync [06:56] rip_: thanks for trying, this seems to be an inherent issue in Ubuntu and not my configuration [06:56] anyone got some interesting conversations? [06:56] broken__: Not necessarily [06:56] just trying to learn commands lol [06:56] psufan, #ubuntu-offtopic [06:56] psufan, #ubuntu-offtopic does [06:56] hlm: yep. so type sudo vim /boot/grub/menu.lst and take off where you see quiet no splash [06:56] constantine: did the command return anything? or did it just act as if you hit enter to nothing? also check out http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507 to see what version you are using [06:56] rip_: it acted as if nothing happened [06:56] constantine: excuse me, permalink is http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_15507 [06:56] try bash for making backups [06:56] Tyrath_: I prefer nano to vim, but yes, that'd work [06:56] hlm: personally i prefer to see the text than the splash screen because it tells me what is wrong. but it's personal preference i guess [06:57] constantine: ok that means gnash is gone, now to step 2, making sure that adobe's flash is the one being used [06:57] ackbahr: is nano good to programming?

[07:26] B10S, you need the -r switch [07:27] I have a Linux ext3 partition, non-ubuntu, that I'd like to boot from. It's in an external HD case, connected via USB. Does the LiveCD loader recognize USB drives? Should I be able to pass boot, root, and image parameters to it? [07:27] B10S, err -R [07:27] drash it's mounted properly thank you. only other question i have is when i created a blank ext3 partition there's a lost+found dir on it.. can i rm it? [07:27] exec /screen -d [07:27] constantine: so is mine lol [07:27] constantine: mine is intel ich5 [07:27] (I'm doing the final dreaded conversion from Slackware to Ubuntu after 13 years..

[07:28] tweak66: not sure you can, those are added to do recovery work i believe [07:28] drash can it be hidden? or i'm stuck with it lol [07:28] need help: I have no splash screen, and everything checks out to be quite fine pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/118737/ [07:28] constantine: make a post on ubuntuforums about it, maybe somebody who is currently sleeping will have another idea? [07:29] hmm i only wantted the contents of /var/www/ not the www dir itself [07:29] tweak66: that might be one of those sticky ones :) [07:29] B10S, cp /var/www/* then [07:29] thanks [07:29] with -R ? [07:29] anyone? [07:29] drash hehe okay thank you very much, serriously. :) [07:29] Hmmm, just was able to get ahold of a web host which allows free ftp access and the like... anyone know of an easy to use/intuitive ftp program? [07:30] B10S, uh...if there's any directories in /var/www yes, if not no [07:30] thanks [07:30] OK, alternate third question then: Is it possible to "Boot from second hard disk" from the Ubuntu liveCD boot menu? [07:30] Elda, how about plain old ftp? [07:31] ? [07:31] binarymutant: It's a little late and I'm working on a few different projects. That documentation worked like a charm after I had a smoke.

[07:33] Elda, well then how about using Nautilus for it? [07:33] tgb: No [07:33] Flannel, thanks. [07:33] tgb: well, you can switch to a tty === MadMax is now known as Guest2213 [07:33] Flannel, it doesn't boot that far... :( [07:33] tgb: You'll want to try the alternate CD then.

[07:38] owen1, you can use any of them to log into xfce [07:38] owen1, do you have xubuntu? [07:39] binarymutant: yes. [07:39] tweak66: how does your fstab look for that fresh partition ? [07:39] owen1, I think by default it's gdm [07:39] Quick question... does Ubuntu come with a command-line program that will let me grab a single image (or a segment of video) from a webcam? I can use programs like Cheese (using GStreamer for configuration) and they work fine, but I need something that I can script. [07:39] drash : now that you mention it i never added it, that's the issue? [07:40] hello folks [07:40] binarymutant: ok. i'll google for it. i am trying to compare xfce to lxde (which uses openbox). [07:40] can someone help me? [07:40] jkoltner: not by default, but you can install it: camE [07:40] Second question: Is it reasonably safe to let Synaptic access the Backports repositories? Or am I just asking for a less stable system that way?

This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [07:40] owen1, login screens should be excluded because you can use any of them to log into the window manager [07:40] binarymutant: gdm is only the login screen, i think. [07:41] tweak66: might be, you can have it mounted manually if you like, much is possible :) .. but it's quite possible you mounted it read only right now [07:41] owen1, lxde is incredibly light in comparison [07:41] AkaBkn: what does it put there? [07:41] binarymutant: i am talking about window manager. [07:41] owen1, sorry you've completely lost me :/ [07:41] Gnea: the official ips of the nameservers [07:41] how to change /home ? [07:41] AkaBkn: are you sure that your router is running a dns server? [07:41] binarymutant: gdm is not a window manager. i think. [07:42] owen1, what's dm mean? [07:42] owen1 xfwm4 is xubuntu's default window manager i believe [07:42] owen1, your right, gdm is not a window manager [07:42] Gnea: yes, it was just perfect, till now... however, i have setup a bridge an so, later i deinstalled it, but it seems that i missed something [07:42] binarymutant: i want to compare xfce to lxde and the main element i assume, is window manager. [07:43] drash: thanks. do u know which one is lightwight - xfwm4 or openbox? [07:44] AkaBkn: ah, okay. i would suggest that you go through your router's configuration again with a fine-tooth comb and make sure that everything is setup right... most routers also allow you to backup your configuration parameters to a file. I usually do that in the event that I want to try something off-the-wall, like bridging. [07:44] drash: i went to removable media under places to mount it? [07:44] owen1: openbox [07:44] i get 503 error while trying to use tor+privoxy [07:44] hi [07:44] all [07:44] plz help [07:45] drash: ok. i am trying to create a lightweight ubuntu, with desktop and icons etc. [07:45] tweak66: hang on for a second please [07:46] drash: no problem thank you [07:46] Second question: Is it reasonably safe to let Synaptic access the Backports repositories? Or am I just asking for a less stable system that way?

[07:50] AkaBkn: you'll need to write your own script for that, then [07:50] owen1: that's always going to be subjective .. personally i dislike panels and have removed all of them in xfce (that lightens things up pretty nice as a bonus) ... i guess once you're in lxde you can tweak at will [07:50] ok [07:51] AkaBkn: or... [07:51] RJN, scp @:/home// [07:51] ok [07:51] wait [07:51] AkaBkn: iirc, NetworkManager has the ability to use different profiles - you might be able to use a static dns server with it [07:52] RJN, here's an ex. scp filename.txt binarymutant@192.168.1.96:/home/binarymutant/ [07:52] How do you install java on 8.04?

[08:21] binarymutant: it is not scared, it is it failed during upgrade. [08:21] that command was supposed to make the installer files executables.

[08:27] hbekel: so chmod made that same file an executable? [08:28] spirited: yes [08:28] constantine, open that link you gave, File->Save as.. then open a terminal and `chmod +x alsa-info.sh` and then `./alsa-info.sh` you have to do this in the folder you saved it to [08:28] hah! [08:28] LogicFan: im just in the windows installer, does everybody just do it without the mouse? [08:28] hi I'm really at my wits end here - my monitor is not being detected properly by xorg - its a samsung 740bf and only showing a 800x600 [08:28] ok I never would have expected that, thanks.

[08:28] guest additions just add extra features [08:29] constantine: you dont have the also drivers installed? I thought they came installed by default (read a part of what was going on earlier, i was afk) [08:29] anyone pls? [08:29] hbekel: Ok where should I install most of these things like netbeans? In Vista Im used to installing in program files or off of the C: [08:29] C:\ drive. [08:29] lolo | ask [08:29] rio_I do I think, this is just a bug reporting script [08:29] LogicFan: no mouse support, says: "note that mouse integration feature requires guest additions to be installed in the guest os" [08:30] heh forgot the ! [08:30] constantine: ah [08:30] I have a printer hooked up to a print server, which is itself plugged into a wireless router...I need to find how to make CUPS detect the printer [08:30] binarymutant: so you just guess answering ? [08:30] I like ubuntu and it treats me just fine [08:30] binarymutant, are you ther [08:30] rip_, it just means seemless integration [08:30] I have a problem with a samsung 740bf lcd monitor - only showing 800x600 [08:30] e.g. moving in and out of the virtual machine without having to capture and release your mouse/keyboard everytime [08:31] lolo..... try to reinstall your display driver [08:31] LogicFan: ooohhh ok. well then i switch my question to "why doesnt my mouse work in virtualbox" :) lol [08:31] rip_, yeah, thats the problem [08:31] rip_, how is your mouse plugged in? [08:31] Lor [08:31] optraz, no, if those debs are not in the repo then the best way to dist-upgrade would be to reinstall them afterwards [08:31] LogicFan: usb [08:31] or go to preferences - monitor settings [08:32] wired? [08:32] LoRdRapTuReZ, I am using the openchrome driver [08:32] lolo go to preferences - monitor settings [08:32] lolo look on the settings at ther [08:32] LogicFan: no wait, i take that back, its ps/2 and yes wired, with a usb to ps/2 adaptor.... wow im still running this kvm setup though there isnt a kvm, just realized that === Tweak is now known as tweak66 [08:32] LoRdRapTuReZ, I'm here [08:32] binarymutant: Error stating file '/home/constantine/Pictures/utils': No such file or directory [08:32] binarymutant: remove, install back too much hassle, imaagine you have to do every 6 months! i have more packages coming currently at 20 [08:32] binarymutant, its already installed [08:32] Guys where are you supposed to install things in Linux? For example in windows most things go in Program Files by default or C: or whatever. [08:33] LoRdRapTuReZ, what's installed?

Are you sure there is no netbeans pkg in the repos you can install via apt-get? [08:34] binarymutant: if not remove them, else the upgrade wont work === EzraTest] is now known as EzraTest [08:34] binarymutant: it won't let me save the script [08:34] binarymutant: cause that is for personal usage [08:34] optraz, dist-upgrade will work even if you don't remove them [08:34] binarymutant: answer the questions, how cna the upgrade be possible in that case. [08:34] optraz, what error do you get? [08:35] !patience [08:35] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [08:35] spirited: you dont install like that in linux, things go in different places, it just depends [08:35] Hi there, what's the best version of ubuntu for a 486DX4-75mhz? I've no cd-rom, and only 19MB or RAM.., can Ubuntu do anything for me? [08:35] LoRdRapTuReZ, sorry I was in xubuntu - got into gnome again [08:35] constantine, open the link, File->Save as [08:35] ratbox, i wouldn't try ubuntu. stick to something optimized for those specs like damn small linux or puppy linux [08:35] binarymutant: dont hve with me now [08:35] I just got punted from my ubuntu 8.04 server and I can't log back in with putty. I can log in from the server itsself using the same user etc. I restarted ssh server. but no luck. How to I troiuble shoot this? [08:36] screen says 'unknown' [08:36] spirited, its all in etc inside the file system [08:36] even a server install?? === EzraTest is now known as EzraNZ [08:36] binarymutant: I'm trying that, but i got that strange error [08:36] optraz, your not making sense sorry [08:36] arquebus: Ok this is netbeans but it is giving me a choice. [08:36] constantine, whats the error in File-> Save as ? [08:36] It wants to default to /home/todd/netbeans-6.5 [08:36] what can I do? [08:36] !slax [08:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about slax [08:37] ratbox, what kind of server? [08:37] Can a folder and it's files have multiple owners? [08:37] just do it? [08:37] spirited- are you intalling netbeans from aptitude or are you using a deb file? [08:37] who should be the owner of /tmp and what mod? [08:37] which file that get install when we do the upgrade? [08:37] binarymutant: The folder contents could not be displayed (and beneath that:) Error stating file '/etc/utils': No such file or directory [08:37] its that .sh file I downloaded. [08:37] ratbox: if you cant get 2 network cards in it you can turn it into an overpowered router with smoothwall :) [08:37] Well, I meant a ubuntu server install, though I might use this a web server... [08:37] can* [08:37] constantine, save it to your desktop [08:38] spirited-netbeans is in the repos, just install it from aptititude [08:38] and did chmod on to turn into an executable. [08:38] OOOOH, ethernet to dial-up and serial net server!!!! [08:38] and she's got to dual-boot with Windows 3.1.... [08:38] ratbox: smoothwall > .... whatever its competition is :) [08:38] Anyone? Can a folder and it's files have multiple owners? [08:38] ratbox, even the ubuntu alternate install requires more memory than those specs [08:39] oh lord I don't even know what aptititude is.. === rip__ is now known as blbox [08:39] dmphotography no [08:39] nightrid3r: Thank you. [08:39] http://wiki.cihar.com/pma/ubuntu [08:39] dmphotography: no. the normal thing to do would be to make a group with multiple users in it and assign the file to the group [08:39] or what you mean by its in repos [08:39] #counter-server on gamesnet.net [08:39] damn, she runs blueflops ooff of two floppy disks to RAM.... [08:39] I check out smoothwall, too, though... [08:39] binarymutant: ok I got it, now how do I chgmod and ./ ? [08:39] ratbox: pfsense is alternative to smoothwall [08:39] rww: Thank you! [08:39] i would stick to something optimized for those specs, if you need server and it sounds like you're familiar/comfortable with the commandline anyway, might as well install a BSD or use a server-purpose specific distro like smoothwall [08:39] spirited-repositories, you should install everything from aptitude, just go into system>install packages [08:40] spirited, you can screw things up in ubuntu by installing stuff not in the repos [08:40] ratbox, or m0n0wall [08:40] LogicFan: mouse plugged directly into usb, deleted and recreated the vbox, same result :-/ [08:40] btw you guys are really doing great on here I never would have gotten this far without this channel [08:40] lianimator: owner should be root, mode should be 7777 [08:40] All: has anyone ever setup a counterstrike game server on ubuntu?

[08:42] Evening / Morning All [08:42] spirited, ok that should work [08:42] yup [08:42] rip_, nice :) [08:42] me is RJN [08:42] the name change would be confusing just so you know [08:42] oo ok [08:42] does anyone else know what he is talking about?:) [08:42] sorry for that [08:42] where is my /mnt/sdx? [08:42] Is there any reason why Linux will mount one USB Flash drive but not another? [08:42] LoRdRapTuReZ, `scp -r rjn@192.168.1.96:/home/rjn/folder .` [08:43] does anyone know where to find aptitude? [08:43] binarymutant: you rock thanks a lot! [08:43] izzit from my machine or the XPC [08:43] spirited: System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager [08:43] constantine, glad that worked [08:43] thanks rww [08:43] arquebus: aptitude is a command-line application. it's not in gnome-menu [08:43] Ok thanks looking into it. [08:43] hello can someone help with my problem pls - I can't get my display to be 1024x768 - I have a samsung 740bf lcd monitor [08:43] Anyone: whats the best multiplayer game on linux right now??? [08:44] rww-ok, I thought the commandline was apt-getr [08:44] lolo what video card [08:44] noogie, define best [08:44] Well smoothwall wants too much of my little AT&T, but it's great for my caching servers... [08:44] logicfan: in your opinion [08:44] lianimator: sorry, mode should be 1777 [08:44] what kind of multiplayer game? [08:44] mmorpg? fps? [08:45] nightrid3r, openchrome driver - using via chip [08:45] logicfan, either one of those actully, thos two are my fav [08:45] nope [08:45] its cant work [08:45] noogie, its hard to answer an opinion [08:45] noogie- sauerbraten or urban terror [08:45] well, the most popular mmorpg (WoW) works perfectly with linux using wine [08:45] noogie, Open Arena [08:46] binarymutant: i guess, what game is most like Counterstrike [08:46] ha! ok... I think I'm getting it. [08:46] noogie, urban terror [08:46] I will try to tell you if/before my system explodes which I don't think will happen.:) [08:46] lolo can you chan it with system -- preferences -- screen resolution [08:46] Is there any reason why Linux will mount one USB Flash drive but not another? One is a very cheap 16 gig verbatim (Works), Other is a 4 Gig Lexar (wont Mount) and it has all my personal stuff on it from when I was using windoze [08:46] binarymutant: im gonna check it out, ty [08:47] noogie: assaultcube is nice, too [08:47] hbekel: ty, ill check that out also [08:47] Just downloaded smoothwall-express-3.0 for the caching server, the 486 lappie needs something else, though... [08:47] so I can delete that netbeans.sh file? [08:47] off to bed, night all [08:47] nightrid3r, no - screen is not identified [08:48] night LogicFan [08:48] spirited- yes, dont try and install anything in ubuntu outside of the package manager [08:48] binarymutant: is there an apt-get command for urban terro [08:48] ...anyways, thanks so much for the smoothwall suggestion Logic... [08:48] nightrid3r, only shows 800x600 and 640x480 [08:48] lolo ok let me check something [08:48] night LogicFan [08:48] noogie, there are some license issues with it so no [08:49] brb [08:49] binarymutant: meaning its not free? [08:49] noogie, it's free as in beer but not free as in speech [08:49] arquebus: Ok for example I was using firefox to look for apps I needed, found them and downloaded them and then clicked on them to install... they were .deb files <--- so that is a no no? [08:50] binarymutant: hmm...i have yet to understand [08:50] !bluetooth [08:50] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [08:50] spirited- a few deb file installs are ok, but pretty much anything in linux you will find already in the ubuntu repos that you install with the package manager [08:50] lolo https://wiki.ubuntu.com/800x600%20video%20mode check the monitor mode and screen sections [08:50] arquebus: don't forget checkinstall [08:50] noogie, its free as in it costs nothing, but it's proprietary [08:51] K-Rich-never heard of it [08:51] binarymutant: i c, only their team can work on the source? [08:51] So what is the differance between add/remove and Synaptic Package Manager? [08:51] noogie, right [08:51] back [08:51] spirited- add/remove just has some commonly used apps for easy install, there is no difference really [08:51] It seems like two things that do the same things. [08:52] Oh ic. [08:52] arquebus: it makes debs from sources 'sudo make && sudo make checkinstall' creates a deb to install rather than a 'sudo make install' [08:52] synaptics requires root pass? [08:52] Well I have to admit so far I really like Ubuntu. [08:52] noogie, ya [08:52] K-Rich-ok, thx, didnt know that [08:52] had to get some heat it's 48^F in here... [08:53] damnit, need to check on smoothwall, brb [08:53] So I could find and install Wine in the same way using Synaptic Package Manager?

[09:38] ikonia: so you don't have fragmentation on a disk that hasn't been used very much [09:38] does ubuntu come with KDE or GNOME? [09:38] noogie: GNOME. [09:38] k [09:38] anarchman1: I didn't say you had fragmentation, I said it's a known problem if the disk is not chkdisked and / or defragged before install [09:39] jpds: why are their KDE packages in the add/remove applications? [09:39] because they work [09:39] !kubuntu | noogie [09:39] noogie: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [09:39] ikonia: It was chkdsk'd the day before I installed and it didn't have fragmentation because it was a brand new install, perhaps you are referring to a different problem, but your suggestions don't apply to this problem, or are quite weird if they do [09:39] noogie: cause you can install kde if you want [09:39] hi, i use firestarter as firewall. It's strange: when I turn on firewall there's no active connection and activity is 0kbps, but when i turn it off active connection is still nothing but activity is more than my internet connection (i got 60KBps but activity is 180KBps). How can I check what is that making this activity ? [09:39] i do not have kde installed, am using gnome, and some apps do work [09:39] anarchman1: it's a known issue - either way, "windows starts to boot and BSOD" = windows problem, please join ##windows [09:39] all: but the KDE packages wont work if you have the GNOME desktop running? [09:39] noogie: they will work just fine in gnome granted you have the needed kde files installed too. linux is linux [09:40] rip: oh, ok [09:40] noogie: however its best practice to stick with programs intended for gnome, but ones for kde are not off limits by any means [09:40] help me please [09:40] * rip_ helps Fruzen [09:40] ikonia: wow, you are counter-productive. I was here with a kernel developer the other night who said nothing about it being a Windows problem. By your logic, if I install Windows after installing Ubuntu and then can no longer boot Ubuntu then that is an Ubuntu problem. [09:41] anyone has cedega?

[09:43] ikonia: I'm sorry that you don't see the fallacy in your logic. It saddens me that there are people like you who immediately dismiss anything that involves windows [09:43] anarchman1: I'm not dissmissing anything [09:43] anarchman1: the boot loaders loads windows - it' BSOD's look / debug the BOSD to find out why [09:43] * tweak66 pats ikonia on the back [09:43] you guys need a moral support team lmao [09:44] lol [09:44] lies I say! ubuntu is perfectly capable to cause BSODs! [09:44] *of causing [09:44] anarchman1: Please dont try to live up to your nick here you asked for help and got "A" suggestion if it is not to your likeing berrating the helper is not the answer [09:44] ikonia: You know you are right, and I'm glad you are being patted on the back, I don't know why I was foolish enough to try to run Ubuntu. I will just go back to Windows [09:44] anarchman1: ok [09:44] Dartel_: I was not berating, I was being berated [09:44] zaggynl: windows only bsods because its jealous of what is on the other partition [09:44] rip_: please don't make issues like that - it's nonsense [09:44] guys please help me.. [09:45] Fruzen: what's up ? [09:45] ikonia what I have to do? [09:45] if you want to attack me just for trying to use Windows that is fine, all I wanted to do was ask a question, and I am being teamed up on by group think, that will never do well to try to convert people to Ubuntu [09:45] good day [09:45] Fruzen: for what [09:45] linux is better than windows than performance [09:45] and appearence [09:46] kukuchopra: this channel isn't for comparisons :/ [09:46] * Dartel_ prays for patience with the frusterated and foolish [09:46] support only.

[09:46] IRCd bahamut [09:46] Fruzen: aptitude install build-essential ? [09:47] except its 3:45 am, sometimes we get off track :-P [09:47] 4:47 here [09:47] Chousuke, I dont know what I have to do.. [09:47] Dartel_: we get people like that once in awhile. they're sad and very rare, thankfully. [09:47] I am new [09:47] is there a generic ubuntu chat channel, that isnt for support? [09:47] Fruzen: there are many ircd daemons in he repos [09:47] rip_: #ubuntu-offtopic [09:47] * Dartel_ hands Rip a Coffee (__)D [09:47] ubuntu-offtopic [09:47] I noticed Gnea [09:48] Fruzen: if you open the package manager and search for "ircd" you'll find many IRC daemons waiting [09:48] ikonia : synaptic? [09:48] tweak66: if that's your package manager, yes [09:48] I can not wait to get a quad core system and see how Linux does on it [09:48] Dartel_: same a a single or dual core [09:49] Fruzen: why not install it from the repos? [09:49] Dartel_: but, you can't help everyone. you can try, and that's about as good as it gets. for every 1 person that feels like they've been backstabbed, there's another 1000+ that has the patience to push on. [09:49] Oh it does not utilize all cores? [09:49] Dartel_: yes it does [09:49] Dartel_: that would be pretty sweet [09:49] rip_, so what I have to do ? [09:50] Fruzen: i'm still reading up, trying to figure out what you need, i missed that line [09:50] Gnea: Some people are to frusterated to listen by time they come for help [09:50] Fruzen: oh you're just trying to install some programs? brand new to linux as of within the last day or two i assume? [09:50] Fruzen: open the package manager, search for "ircd" and install one of the IRC daemons from the repos [09:50] Ok.. Cause I wanted to run some @home stuff and heard Linux uses more resources for it [09:50] Dartel_: yeah, and not everyone appreciates having selected absolute facts shoved in their faces [09:51] Fruzen: type "aptitude search ircd" [09:51] * Gnea seems to recall @home as an ISP [09:51] gusy I may install a lot of things in the future.. [09:51] it tells me that there no C Compiler [09:51] Fruzen: you do'nt need one [09:51] Fruzen: use the package from the ubuntu package manager [09:52] Fruzen: they are built for you [09:52] Fruzen: but why do you need c compiler if you have ubuntu and you can install ircd from the package manager? [09:52] Fruzen: starting from the beginning, are you familiar at all with synaptic or the add/remove button in applications? [09:52] Gnea: It has always amazed me that those with out the answers are quick to say anothers answer is wrong. [09:52] ikonia, but I need built essential... [09:52] Fruzen: there's a reason that many irc daemons are already packaged for ubuntu. [09:52] Fruzen: no [09:52] Fruzen: type in "aptitude search ircd" [09:52] guys i dont think Fruzen realizes the power of ubuntu repositories, i'm getting the feeling he's used to having to compile source [09:52] Fruzen: open the package manager - search for the phrase "ircd" you'll see a list of IRC daemons software, install one [09:52] Fruzen: they are built for you so you don't have to [09:53] rip_: hold on, we have something else in mind ;-) [09:53] rip_: he can't be used to compiling from source he's new to linux [09:53] Fruzen: why do you need to compile your ircd? [09:53] ikonia, I have VPS - Ubunto 6.10 [09:53] I am using Xchat is there better? [09:53] Fruzen: there are pre-built IRC daemons in the ubuntu software repositories [09:53] ikonia: ah, touche hehe [09:53] yes there are [09:53] lots of them [09:53] Fruzen: search for them in the package manager [09:53] it's so easy [09:53] Fruzen: 6.10 is a bit old, you should consider upgrading to 8.04 [09:54] 8.1 even [09:54] Even I could do it and I am almost as smart as a Geico Caveman [09:54] beats me dartel [09:54] Dartel_: I'm an irssi+screen person [09:54] Fruzen: check for me, please, what do you get if you type in "lsb_release -r" [09:55] some people like the GUI of an irc client - i could never get the hang of it, but whatever floats your boat [09:55] Gnea that makes you true Admin material for sure :-) [09:55] * Dartel_ ducks [09:55] Dartel_: what do you mean? [09:56] running shell for IRC [09:57] been doing it for years [09:58] lol irssi is easy [09:58] Your run split screen? [09:58] ttt [09:58] Anyone has any idea on how to search and replace for a string in several files in a dir and its subdirs? [09:58] try sic from suckless [09:58] of course :) [09:58] some bash command perhaps? [09:58] suckless.org* [09:58] Mattias: perl -pi -e 's/onething/anotherthing/g' ./* [09:58] I am lazy give me a default IRC program like Mirc Xchat and I am happy LOL [09:58] i hate xchat lol [09:59] can we keep offtopic somewhere else, please [09:59] Gnea, thanks [09:59] sorry myrtti [09:59] i will go now [09:59] * Dartel_ goes back to his corner and watches the room [09:59] Mattias: not sure that that'll traverse... might need to: find . -type f -exec perl -pi -e 's/onething/anotherthing/g' {} \; [10:00] Fruzen: did you get that lsb_release -r already? [10:00] Gnea, it's on a web hosting server thats running linux, going through via ssh [10:00] checking if they allow perl first though [10:00] or if there is perl installed [10:01] Mattias: then you should check it on your end, first [10:01] Mattias: note that "onething" is a regexp in Gnea's command [10:01] most modern distributions have perl [10:02] Mattias: are you familiar with how regexps work? [10:02] Gnea, yeah, learned some when I tried Ruby out a long time ago ^.^ [10:02] Mattias: good :) [10:03] Mattias: omit the -i switch (inplace edit) for testing. you can also use -ibak to have the original files renamed to orig.bak for safety [10:04] hi all [10:04] how are u [10:04] !hi | faria_786 [10:04] faria_786: Hi!

I've installed the package and according to the docs it should be all configured, but I don't get any special formatting for .otl files [10:22] Fruzen: open the pakage manager of your choice (aptitude/synaptic/whatever) search for the keyboard ircd - you will be presented with a list of IRC daemons, once you see them, select one you like and install it through the pakage manager [10:22] Fruzen: does that make sense to you [10:22] ziroday, I've installed Droid.ttf font inside /usr/share/fonts/truetype, I've updated the cache then.

[11:05] ikonia: until it got through all the tests and reported success [11:05] tomkirby: roughly how long was that ? [11:05] tomkirby: usual procedure is to run memtest several passes [11:05] about an hour [11:05] maybe just over [11:05] tomkirby: not enough [11:05] a full pass is normally about 4 - 8 hours on a modern machine [11:05] and you need to run several passes to get a solid output [11:05] ikonia: ok - is that influenced by how much ram i have?

[11:06] tomkirby: you said you'd not overclocked your computer - right ? [11:06] tomkirby: watch the pass counter [11:06] wait for it to do say 3 full system passes [11:07] cih997: launch paprefs and disable all network related stuff [11:07] tomkirby: dont go on time - go on pass [11:07] Hello, a moment ago I was mentioning a problem using Skype in 8.10. The solution (case anyone is interested) is to deinstall pulseaudio and install esound instead. [11:07] tomkirby: there are individual tests/passes then a "full" pass which is all the tests [11:08] january: it is possible to get pulseaudio working... I needed to add my user to pulseaudio group toget all other packages working... Ubuntu has issues with pulseaudio apparently but once working it is great. [11:08] ikonia: looking at the segfault data in the system log, i tend to see errors cropping up at similar addresses sometimes, but don't know how to interpret the data. can you suggest anything?

[11:16] ActionParsnip: I'd suggest we'd leave it at that, I'm not too comfortable in assisting someone exploit security holes [11:17] Myrtti: its just mounting a partition which is fine [11:17] to be fair [11:18] Linux is kind of built to help exploit security holes [11:18] ActionParsnip: yeah, for now.

If he's later intrested in say, Gimp, it's fine ;-) [11:22] Darth_Tux: yo [11:23] Myrtti: true but as far as I can see he just wants to mount a partition, what he does or doesnt do with the data is beyond the scope of this roo :) [11:23] *room [11:23] ActionParsnip: exactly :-) [11:23] :D [11:24] thie room:-) [11:24] ezerhoden, dude! [11:24] hmm... what happened to your m?

Must be careful to not let them know you're on Ubuntu!!!!!!! [11:25] lol chronographer [11:25] chronographer: well there are differences but at a lot of abstracted levels its the same [11:25] yeah I know. [11:26] Debian is much more sensible. Ubuntu is for all us that like to live on the edge =) [11:26] make no mistake, you have to be careful here too [11:26] chronographer: if you want sensible, try bsd [11:27] Why are there two directories /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon and ../gnome/settings-daemon-2.0?

[11:34] !find libcap [11:34] Found: libcap-bin, libcap-dev, libcap1, libcap2, libcap2-dev (and 10 others) [11:34] lied: you could have just ran: apt-cache search libcap [11:34] lied: to search your repos yourself ;) [11:35] ActionParsnip: yeah of course but there is no information about the version...

I have a jamlab guitar interface by M-audio. anyone has experience in setting this up in ubuntu studio? Thanks for the help guys. [11:36] P.S. Googled it up, but didn't get anything usefull apart from some rather oldish OSS drivers. I'm on Ubuntu 9,04 x86 with Ubuntu-studio pakets from the official repository. Plain Kernel. intel core2 6300 with 3 Gig. [11:37] how do i access network files thru a terminal ? [11:37] piasdom: mount the shared folder with smbmount [11:37] metasepp: is it supported by alsa ? [11:37] while in any dir ? [11:37] ActionParsnip: so it changed the name ... ok. thanks!

[11:39] Sarkie: thise are ftp SERVERS, lied suggested filezilla which is an ftp CLIENT. It depends which you require [11:39] yeah i saw that link, ActionParsnip. Cheers [11:40] Yeah wanted a server, with access to my /www dir [11:40] ActionParsnip: meeep, wrong. filezilla has also a server... [11:40] am normally still on 8.04, booted 8.10 and in the process of updating it. was wondering if there is a 2.6.28 kernel for 8.10 ? [11:40] metasepp: what is it, pci/usb/fw ? [11:40] i use ssh as a sftp file server. Is this particularly unsafe? [11:41] chronographer: only if you have a weak sshkey [11:41] lied: on the filezilla site the only server is windows based, and the official repos only have the client [11:41] it is letters and numbers, not very long though [11:41] lied: so meep, wrong back at you [11:41] ActionParsnip: ah ok, that maybe. i thougt in the new linux versions there is also a ftp server implemented [11:41] chronographer: its very safe :) [11:41] JackWinter: its USB. Someone over at the Ardour List claims that it works on his box in Ubuntustudio on 8.10. Doesn't show up on my box though. [11:42] great! it is quite easy to set ssh up. I had great trouble with ftp. think I had a port closed which it needed... [11:42] chronographer: uses the same encryption as ssh to transfer the data [11:42] chronographer: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [11:42] yeah thats how I understood it. [11:42] there are very much hits shows in firestart,is that's ok? [11:43] yep I have done that!

[11:52] Tonik|away: because ubuntu's /bin/sh is now a symlink to dash. scripts with [[ ]] should have #!/bin/bash in the shebang, and not be run as 'sh script' [11:52] B1OS: tab complete it, they will be managed for you [11:52] B1OS: use quotes around the directory name eg "My Directory/" [11:53] or, yes, tab-complete [11:53] thanks [11:53] B1OS: if tab completing doesnt work its something like: cp this\ file\ name\ contains\ space.txt [11:53] Tonik|away: that happened sometime around feisty or edgy [11:53] B1OS: tab completing is WAYYY easier [11:53] Ok, I'll try it [11:53] Pricey: I see. Do you think it's ok to use [ instead of [[ if it works? I don't even know how to google help on these expressions :) [11:54] hey guys I had this once on intrepid and have searched all day... disable recent documents?

[12:00] bullgard4: #gnome might know. it's a pretty esoteric question [12:00] ActionParsnip: i compiled the vsftpd by source and the error appears again.. think this must be a error by ubuntu === guillaume_ is now known as freko28 [12:01] bullgard4: its n investigation. If you rename the folder and reboot, next time you log on a stock one will be generated, you will then see system differences which you can then attribte to the change.

[12:05] piasdom: ok thats cool [12:05] nsadmin: jep [12:05] piasdom: ok can you run mount with no parameters and pastebin the output please [12:05] so maybe you could see if it's possible to make the logging more verbose, either by configuring it that way or rebuilding it that way [12:06] while you're doing that you could try other ftp daemons [12:06] ActionParsnip: i have to use -o [12:06] and by the way...

I've had that set-up through Outlook that connects to a hosted Exchange server... [12:36] DarkKnight: it's been 2 days [12:36] I have a couple questions, Does Ubuntu 32bit recognize more than the 3GB of ram that Windows does? [12:36] And I need to find a client that works better than Evolution for Exchange accounts. === josh_ is now known as sec_goat [12:37] josh_: it's a long story, it "can" but it is better to use 64bit if you want 4GB of ram support [12:37] I know about Thunderbird, but it looks like it doesn't have a specific category for Exchange accounts. [12:37] sec_goat: not unless you enable PAE [12:37] sec_goat: server or desktop? [12:37] Nero-Wolf: MS dont like none MS clients connecting to Exchange, its a real pain [12:37] sec_goat: the server kernel uses PAE for example [12:37] nero-wolf have you tried thunderbird? [12:37] ikonia; like i said before...you have good memory....i have busy schedules and i didnt really remember that [12:37] this is just a desktop computer [12:37] lawl, 13:37 ;) [12:37] Nero-Wolf: make sure you pst your emails so you can port them to your next system [12:37] sec_goat: I grabbed it, but TB doesn't look like it has a way to set-up Exchange access... [12:38] Action: I'd debated on that, but I've kept my stuff on the server for a reason. ;3 The hardware I own/operate tends to be very volatile. [12:38] Let's just say I've wiped my main stuff at home more than 3 times in the past 60 days just because I've been experimenting with stuff. [12:38] But yeah... [12:39] I've got Thunderbird now and I'm looking at it, I'm just not sure how to set it up to access the account like my Outlook client is set-up now.

[12:54] *too [12:54] yiyezhou: doesnt matter, did you check the iso before burning as well as checking the burned cd was correct? [12:54] ActionParsnip: i did it; in fact i deleted the user with userdel, moved the home user dir; recreated the user with adduser and i still see the same gnome-panel configuration... maybe it's an inode (not file) problem; trying to reboot to fix it [12:54] Ferran: you will need to grant the new user acces and ownership [12:55] bye...I cannot get the right information here now for the moment thanks [12:55] ok [12:55] ActionParsnip: yes, i did it [12:55] ciao sw [12:55] Ferran: even if its the same name it may not get access so you can aleiviate this issue with the simple commands [12:55] ActionParsnip:no,i have not burning CD,I use USB to install it.

[12:57] yiyezhou: that doesnt matter [12:57] The startup is right at first. [12:58] yiyezhou: you could have been givien it by the head of canonical, you still need to check the iso you downloaded [12:58] yiyezhou: downloads are not 100% garunteed to be accurate all the time and you need to check the iso, especially with something as critical as an operatings system [12:59] ActionParsnip:OK,i have got it. [12:59] That is what that MD5 hashum stuff is all about [12:59] yiyezhou: if you have a bad image its not going to work, if you have a good image then we can look at other things [12:59] ActionParsnip:Thank you very much,i will download it again.

[13:04] ActionParsnip: OK,md5 is match.there is another XP system in my notebook.is it may be the reason? [13:05] hi all, i'm looking an app to burn a DVD iso to a USB stick and make it bootable, can anyone help? [13:05] hi, i have a problem with partition sizes on an existing Hardy system, i have 2 partitions setup, sda1 and sda3, sda1 is 18.9 gig, and sda3 is 162 gig, sda1 is my file system partition, sda3 contains my home folder, sda1 now has 0 free space remaining, i believe the problem is I have a large Postgresql server which I believe is being stored on sda1, I would obviously like to have it stored on sda3 but I cant even start Postgresql to [13:05] move it anything over since it wont start without any free space [13:05] anyone have a suggestion for what i can do without losing any data? [13:05] Is there a program like msconfig for linux to check what programs services run at boot of computer ? [13:05] DeadRooster: Tried Brasero? [13:06] SunnyDP: system - admini - services [13:06] yiyezhou: that doesnt matter, you are booting from the usb stick so the internal drives dont get looked at [13:06] !bootoptions | yiyezhou [13:06] yiyezhou: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [13:06] SunnyDP: system -> administration -> services.

[13:07] jrib; hey i did that then i got a .gpg file...so i just have to use this file...is it..and i dont require that original .zip file right?? [13:07] i guess my main question is can i reduce the size of sda3 and increase sda1 so i can move backup postgresql and then move it over? [13:07] DeadRooster: I think it can, I have never done it, but media is media, sorta [13:07] DarkKnight: yes. gpg -d xyz.gpg (or double click if you install seahorse) [13:07] DeadRooster, use usb-creator [13:07] hey i have a problem with xchat (dcc) the speed on linux is much slower than on windows what could be the issue for that?

I would restore your data from backup after reinstalling linux [13:22] well [13:22] orly_owl: depends what apps are running at the time [13:22] ActionParsnip: do you know how I can find the correct setting?

Quick tip on how to avoid? And to switch cleanly between each? [13:37] <[TK]D-Fender> ActionParsnip: Gnome used to start up and certain bits bitched at me about the fact KDM seemed to have taken over. [13:37] I have 4 500G hard disks. / partition is 10G, /HOME resides on same disk (but different partition). My other 3 disks are mounted on /media. Utilization of / is nearing 100 percent (mostly due to /media). Without using LVM, is it going to be necessary for me to move the mount point (from /media)?

When i transfered data to my external I use sudo.

[13:50] the manual is for ubuntu 6.10, does it matter? [13:51] Why are running 4 processes gvfsd-trash on one Ubuntu 8.04.2 computer but on another only 1? [13:51] vigge_sWe: which manual? [13:51] the wpa howto [13:51] I am on windows, developing a Ruby on Rails app. I have learned that linux is better than windows for developing a RoR app. [13:51] on how to install wpasupplicant etc [13:51] So I downloaded VirtualBox, and Linux Rails Turnkey Application. And am now running both. [13:51] It came with Ubuntu. [13:51] vigge_sWe: hmmm should be updated information about that somewhere [13:52] But I am at the DOS prompt of the linux window. [13:52] bash prompt :) [13:52] and have no idea what commands to use, as ive never used linux before in my life [13:52] adamwitt: never heard of that release really [13:52] Bash prompt*, thanks. [13:52] ezerhoden: terminal [13:52] ezerhoden: bash is a shell [13:52] shell [13:52] yes, thats the word im lookin for [13:52] I'm in the shell console [13:52] What do I type in to boot up ubuntu? [13:53] lol adamwitt dos promt of linux :D [13:53] :P [13:53] jorn: dont laugh.....I said that at the begining also [13:53] I am 100% new to linux, bare with me :P [13:53] at least i am making an effort! [13:53] sure no problem :-) everyone had to learn it some way or another :) [13:54] adamwitt don't mind them but please don't use your return key as punctuation [13:54] Point taken. [13:54] true it makes it hard to read :) [13:54] vigge_sWe: you can use your install cd to install packages from if your www is down but they will be old. [13:55] Ok, so, now that we have my context all out of the way / laughed at....how do I get Ubuntu up and kicking? [13:55] insert live cd and start installation [13:55] adamwitt: I am sorry but I am not sure what version of ubuntu or anything like that.....that you have downloaded [13:55] adamwitt: did you install a minimal version of ubuntu? [13:55] adamwitt: you want to install ubntu? or what? [13:55] http://www.turnkeylinux.org/appliances/core [13:55] Thats what ive got [13:55] vigge_sWe: you can install the supplicant off the install cd, or turn or wpa, get stuff installed and then re-enable. Or just use a wired connection til you get on your feet [13:55] which i got from this: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/appliances/rails [13:56] try typing startx [13:56] "command not found" [13:56] adamwitt: that doesn't seem to come with a GUI [13:56] How can I dualboot Ubuntu 8.10 and Ubuntu 8.10 encrypted? [13:56] dumb question warning: Isn't Ubuntu a GUI? [13:56] ubuntuuser: you need LVM [13:56] adamwitt: besides, while your distro is based on ubuntu its not ubuntu, so maybe you'd be better off reading your distributions dicumentation [13:57] adamwith [13:57] ubuntu is debian [13:57] modded [13:57] is debian a gui ???? [13:57] adamwitt: well, you install the GUI on top. you don't have one installed. [13:57] adamwitt: the server edition doesnt come with an x server by default [13:57] shall i use the same /boot directory? [13:57] action :D:D:D thats right [13:57] adamwitt: turnkey linux does not have nothing to do with ubuntu... we can not help you here [13:57] ahh [13:57] SunnyDP: debian is a distro of linux [13:57] SunnyDP: metacity is a gui to gnome DE [13:58] erUSUL - the turnkey came wit Ubuntu [13:58] adamwitt: what you have is very minimal. you'll have to install X to get a GUI. [13:58] Ah, ok [13:58] i would advice you to just reinstall the machine [13:58] why reinstall? [13:58] and use the latest ubuntu cd [13:58] <[TK]D-Fender> adamwitt: I see nothing on there that indicates what the base distro is. [13:58] yeah why ?> [13:58] adamwitt: if you install ubuntu-desktop you wil get all the stuff for a desktop system [13:58] <[TK]D-Fender> nvm, I'm blind :) [13:58] adamwitt: what happens if you type: d-i [13:59] installing x is maybe to hard. I just based on what you said earlyer:"linux dos promt" [13:59] Might be the time to remind everyone that I'm running Linux out of Virtual Box on my Windows laptop, purely for the purpose of developing a Rails application. [13:59] adamwitt if I were you I'd run Wubi from your Windows machine. It installs a "virtual" Ubuntu installation on your Windows machine [13:59] hello peoples. [13:59] adamwitt: sure, but apparently you want a gui [13:59] d-i = command not found [13:59] adamwitt: type this (including the word 'type'): type apt-get [13:59] if i have an ext3 filesystem with some bad blocks in it, and i know which ones they are, anyone know how i can find out which files they're in? [14:00] adamwitt: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [14:00] the problem he may run into in WUBI is that his devices may not all be supported [14:00] adamwitt: you might as well install plain ubuntu 8.10 and setup the rails stack on your own. check out this for install instructions: http://blog.olszowka.de/2009/01/22/setting-up-the-whole-rails-stack-from-a-single-debian-meta-package/ [14:00] user/bin/apt-get [14:00] adamwitt: then use the command above to install ubuntu-desktop [14:01] just checking to see how minimal your turnkey thing is [14:01] Why are running 4 processes gvfsd-trash on one Ubuntu 8.04.2 computer but on another only 1? [14:01] bullgard4: have you got multiple users logged in? [14:01] couldnt find package ubuntu-desktop [14:01] ActionParsnip: No. [14:01] ok, so lets forget i want a GUI [14:01] I have a question. How do you burn mp3 files to a DATA CD without it auto organizing it for you. I want the tracks in specific order but when i go to burn them it will not allow me to put them in the order i want [14:01] I am going to go hardcore linux geek now [14:02] fuk GUIs [14:02] they suk [14:02] so there is no 1-click config? We don't have access to network info [14:02] ok, so with that out the way [14:02] adamwitt: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-gte install ubuntu-desktop [14:02] adamwitt: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:02] we only get username and pass, that's it [14:02] <[TK]D-Fender> bigdaddy0522: On a data CD there is no concept of "order" [14:02] oooo [14:02] <[TK]D-Fender> bigdaddy0522: they are just files. [14:02] adamwitt: this is using tasksel [14:02] vigge_sWe: there is network-manager which allows configuration of the network settings [14:02] :P [14:02] adamwitt: the old debian install stuff..... [14:03] TK so i can not organize the files into the "order" i want with out making folders etc etc. [14:03] ActionParsnip: sorry, ubuntu has no support for TKIP it seems, and needs hellalot of config [14:03] adamwitt: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html [14:03] I already tried all in the list [14:03] vigge_sWe: its not something i use, I dont even use wpa as its such a faff [14:03] WPA, wep, LEAP, PEAP, w/e [14:03] adamwitt: I would suggest you have a little looky there...to see if it can help you in anyway to get started with the installation [14:03] adamwitt: what you've got there is an appliance for deploying rails apps. i think what you'd really want is a setup for developing them first, so you really will need a UI [14:04] weeeee ciao a tutti [14:04] bigdaddy: if you rename the files with the track number in the front of the name it will organize them by name [14:04] I read on google that the TKIP driver costs $19, which I wont pay [14:04] vigge_sWe: you can configure wep easily [14:04] then they will be in track order [14:04] DeadSerious - Im devving in windows [14:04] ce qualcuno ke mi aiuta [14:04] windows GUI is easily understandable to me [14:04] so why do you want that rails appliance? [14:04] Im used toit [14:04] !it | alfio [14:04] alfio: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (click col tasto destro sul nome del canale per entrare) [14:04] ActionParsnip: , this is WPA2 enterprise+PEAP+TKIP [14:04] or you can save a playlist file to the same directory and use that to play the files [14:04] my graphics in X simply stopped working yesterday - I've been trying various adjustments to my xorg and nvidia driver install and all I get is the same result, generic monitor 800x600, and when I load the nvidia-settings tool it says I'm not using the driver - I confirmed the driver installed properly - can anyone please point me in the right direction?? head -> wall = true; [14:05] Hi all. Can somebody tell me what is creating the following folders upon first login Desktop, Document, Public, Music, Pictures, Video, Templates ? (Ubuntu or Gnome) And how can I modify this? [14:05] DeadSerious - because im getting segmentation faults in windows when i try to run it and dont know why - they came out of nowehre... long story, cant find the bug, so trying in linux... [14:05] vigge_sWe: i have no experince of those [14:05] jeez this chat moves fast o.o [14:05] ShackTiDe: /etc/skel [14:05] Alterious: with the playlist file is that the same as m3u, or whatever. [14:05] adamwitt: you'll have an easier time getting the full ubuntu installer and running on a gui. [14:05] yes [14:06] hello [14:06] would u please tell me a WLAN manager [14:06] Eh, I'll better format again and run 100% windows, because I need internet for my schoolwork [14:06] ActionParsnip: The are not in /etc/skel [14:06] adamwitt: you'll have no fun at all setting up a connection to your development directory on windows and making that run on the linux machine with rails. youll have to mess with port forwarding and such [14:06] I forgot its name [14:06] ShackTiDe: lt me get the folder [14:06] the first letter was [14:06] W [14:06] Alterious: so i just put all the files onto disc, then have the playlist on the disc as well saved to the order i wish. will my car stereo be able to play this playlist file, as it is mp3 compat. [14:06] wici or something like that [14:07] bigdaddy: to make it foolproof open the tracks in a media player in order and save the playlist to the same folder as the tracks so it will always work [14:07] Hi I tried changing a volume mount point via "right-click > properties > volumes" but I messed it up (I put the absolute path whereas it was expecting the relative one), so now I can't mount this volume, so I can't access this windows again! I tried looking in /etc/fstab, but no trace of my mistake here.... Can someone help? [14:07] ActionParsip: This is Domain login. Nothing is copied from /etc/skel. Already tried this. [14:07] ActionParsnip: This is ubuntu 8.10 [14:07] does anyone know how i can do find -iname *.pdf -exec rm '{}' \; and find -iname *.doc -exec rm '{}' \; in one command? [14:08] hmm seems that when X is loading, i'm getting this error message: (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) - considering the nvidia installer said it worked - any suggestions on what steps I can take to remedy this problem? [14:08] hello all users of this site of IRC [14:08] because running two commands seems to be overkill, i have however been unsuccessful at using a more complex regular expression (which doesnt seem to be supported) [14:08] adamwitt: if you really want to stick with windows, you should rather try to get rails running on that. will be easier to setup than the combined linux/windows thingy [14:09] icewaterman: test with 'echo': find . \( -iname '*.pdf' -o -iname '*.doc' \) -exec echo rm {} \; [14:09] icewaterman: remove the echo if the output looks correct [14:09] prince_jammys: grrml, how am i supposed to know that i should escape the brackets... [14:10] bigdaddy: it may depending on the player [14:10] most players use the ID3 tags though [14:10] icewaterman: they are special to the shell. you need to pass them as literals to find command [14:10] hi [14:10] so you need to make sure those are straight and it should play them fine [14:10] i can;'t find industrial-cursor-theme on ubuntu [14:10] it's on debian [14:10] but not ubuntu [14:11] I have installed ubuntu 8.10, how do I upgrade to ubuntu 8.10 without re-installing? [14:11] ShackTiDe: theres a script /etc/profile which runs stuff in /etc/profile.d/ but otherwise i'm unsure, try websearching [14:12] zxd: then download the theme from the place you get it for, for debian and apply it to ubuntu [14:12] ActionParsnip, the thing is i've seen the cursor before in ubuntu , maybe it's named under a different package name [14:12] I have installed ubuntu 8.04, how do I upgrade to ubuntu 8.10 without re-installing? sorry for the previous message [14:13] prince_jammys: ok, now it works. [14:13] thx [14:13] zxd: if you get the .deb files from Debian it should work fine in Ubuntu. The theme most has not been added to the latest repositories yet [14:13] icewaterman: cool [14:13] Alterios, it has , i think it's the default [14:13] sakhi: type sudo apt-get upgrade in the command line [14:13] Alterios, in ubuntu atleast is the default [14:13] Alterios, but i am doing a boot strap installation and i dont know the package nbame [14:13] only under debian [14:14] type sudo apt-get update first though [14:14] zxd: you can install cursor themes easily, just download the theme and put it on ubuntu [14:14] zxd: oh I see [14:14] !debian | Alterios [14:14] Alterios: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process.

When i do, right click on desktop and change desktop background -> Visual effects -> normal. It gives a error that "Desktop effects could not be enabled"???? [14:16] I think it's the same [14:16] it's derived [14:16] when serching for obscure thins I usually use the ubuntu packages webpage [14:17] Alterios: use apt-cache and you can grep to refine :) [14:18] hey [14:18] ActionParsnip: u have any ideas of my problem?

[14:24] my xorg is using the config file xorg.conf.failsafe - that's why nothing is working - how do I make it load the normal file or see the others from xorg.conf??? any direction would be appreciated [14:24] I want to copy it here /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps [14:24] sorry - see the others -> see the errors [14:24] blackjak rightclick then properties [14:24] I think it will be a lot easier to run ubuntu as a root [14:25] err... liveusb, not live2usb heh [14:25] spl0it: backup your current xorg.conf somewhere, then run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [14:25] so there will be no such stupid situations [14:25] how to enable root account [14:25] blackjak don't run as root, you'll fsckup your system [14:25] I try to log in the login screen as a root [14:25] blackjak: it makes your system significantly less secure [14:25] blackjak: what are u trying to do? [14:25] !root | blackjak [14:25] blackjak: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [14:25] but it does not let me [14:25] ActionParsnip: i m not getting dude [14:25] !root > blackjak [14:25] blackjak, please see my private message [14:25] someone know how to get 8.10 to connect to the wireless network automatically on boot rather then ask for the keyring? [14:26] blackjak: there is no root in ubuntu [14:26] !release [14:26] Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [14:26] actionparsnip: thanks [14:26] there is root user [14:26] you can "sudo su" to root if needed [14:26] bogey: dont advise him of it [14:26] err what was the command to tetermine the operating system? [14:26] but why to do it [14:26] bogey: sudo -i is advised over sudo su [14:26] hi there ActionParsnip:) [14:26] blackjak what are you trying to do? [14:26] remoteCTR1: lsb_release -a [14:26] Pici: ah yeah thanks:) [14:26] hi remoteCTR1 [14:27] ActionParsnip: can plz explain wat to do? [14:28] indian_munnda: you need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf so the display sections look like those in that example [14:28] Alterios: apt-get upgrade will upgrade the entire OS right? not just the packages. [14:28] ActionParsnip: now what - simply restart and see if it uses the normal config instead of the failsafe? [14:28] spl0it: ctrl+alt+backspace [14:28] sakhi: packages are the entire OS [14:29] sakhi: yes it will [14:29] sakhi: the OS is made up of packages, so they are one and the same thing [14:29] it will take a long time but when it finishes you will restart to a brand new 8.10 if all went well [14:29] well, he may be asking whether it'll do a distro upgrade [14:30] without losing your stuff [14:30] What do I need to install to get the cube working? Wasn't it something like" Advanced Desktop Settings" [14:30] compiz [14:30] laku: you probably have it installed already [14:30] anyone know how i can update git to the latest version on ubuntu? [14:30] tekteen: Alterios ActionParsnip thanks, working on it as we chat. [14:30] ActionParsnip: the same result unfortunately - it simply says at the top of the log file its using the failsafe conf file [14:30] phantasam: compix is installed [14:30] and advanced desktop efects [14:30] i have been using the package manager, but need the newest [14:30] * OwNeR está away; Almoço - site[n/a] email[none@none] uin[none] log[on] pager[off] -=[Cyber]=- [14:31] !away > OwNeR [14:31] OwNeR, please see my private message [14:31] laku: assuming you have installed 3d video drivers: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [14:31] * OwNeR retornou do away; Almoço - duração[30s] -=[Cyber]=- [14:31] kde is better for 3d effects! [14:31] no [14:31] not even close [14:31] I disagree louis [14:31] spl0it: i'd read through: dmesg | less to see whats going on [14:32] should i uninstall via package manager? [14:32] me I have some problems with gnome [14:32] then by source [14:32] louis: both have advantages, if one was better, no one would use the other [14:32] but with kde it's better [14:32] Thanks! [14:32] !away | OwNeR [14:32] OwNeR: You should avoid noisy away messages in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» [14:32] ActionParsnip: do i need to fill section "monitor and screen" also or just have to edit section "Device" [14:32] ? [14:32] louis: neither is better, its individual, you may think its better, spl0it disagrees [14:33] kde 3 is good stable,kde 4 is realy bad brakes all the time,crashes [14:33] ok [14:33] indian_munnda: the video "device" the monitor section and screen section will all need populating similar to that example in that guide [14:34] indian_munnda, doesnt sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg work? [14:34] ActionParsnip: can I priv. message you a potential cause (Error msg) from the log? [14:34] spl0it: just pastebinit [14:34] !paste | spl0it [14:34] spl0it: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [14:35] ActionParsnip: actually there are only 3 sections in that file but the example u gave me ,consists more section. thats why confused. [14:35] ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/118838/ [14:35] is it possible to get desktop effects working on an SIS771/671 video card [14:35] indian_munnda: thats because intrepid has less xorg.conf lines due to things like keyboard and mouse being handled by HAL [14:36] I have xubuntu and when I enter in my desktop, network manager always demand me the code to acces the "Bottom drawer of key" [14:36] ActionParsnip: so is it enough if i fill on those 3 sections? [14:36] ActionParsnip: or i have to put all of them which are in that example [14:36] How to stop it? [14:37] spl0it: ok you have the 180.x nvidia driver but the nvidia kernel cannot load as yu havent installed and compiled the nvidia-source for the 180 driver [14:37] nightrid3r, google about it [14:37] louis: you use wireless and xubuntu?

Anyways thank you very much. :) [14:38] rootrot: check out inkscape [14:39] #inkscape [14:39] prince_jammys: thanks, [14:39] ActionParsnip: there's no nvidia driver numbers in any of the results (had to remove 180) to get results - what am I looking for here the nvidia-kernel-source? [14:39] rootrot: there's many other possibilities. inkscape is a good one.

[14:50] Workk1: do you have xchat-gnome or xchat?

[14:50] ActionParsnip: Ok [14:50] Renfie|d -> jaunty discussion is on #ubuntu+1 [14:50] workk1: try searching on packages.ubuntu.com and change your distro version below the search box [14:51] Elda: yeah echo >> adds the line to the end of the file [14:51] ActionParsnip: thanks! working great now - you're my hero :) [14:51] Elda: same kinda deal [14:51] dk, are you using mysql on a stand alone system? [14:51] spl0it: cool [14:51] i am using xchat gnome [14:51] n8tuser I don't want to use Jaunty, just this one package. [14:51] spl0it: you were using intrepid drivers [14:51] lol at xchat gnome [14:51] dk, and it would be better if you ask #mysql [14:51] arvind_khadri; yes...i installed it just now [14:51] Myrtti: : I am using xchat gnome [14:51] ActionParsnip, that is nice. Thank you again :D [14:51] I tried using that a couple of weeks ago [14:51] spl0it: those numbered ones are usually for intrepid [14:51] elda np man [14:51] Workk1: xchat-gnome is a totally different app than xchat, that's why it looks different from what in Windows [14:51] dk, then you need to have mysql-server-5.0 [14:51] horrible experience [14:51] ActionParsnip: hmm okay - good to know [14:52] well, am getting use too for this ubuntu [14:52] [erUSUL]: =0 [14:52] arvind_khadri; yes...i installed mysql-server-5.0 [14:52] so i decided to start from graphical interface [14:52] Renfie|d -> newer packages is not guaranteed to be backward compatible [14:52] spl0it: jaunty is out soon so if you upgrade you'll be on the usual stuff [14:52] Workk1: xchat is graphical as well [14:52] dk, then use the command i gave you ... you will be prompted for a password after installation... [14:52] ActionParsnip: perfect - thanks again [14:52] n8tuser I understand. [14:52] yesterday i got this gnome Xchat.... i don't see any tab for any proxy etc.. or protocol field for irc? [14:52] Workk1: could try one of the many other clients [14:52] Workk1: if you've used xchat in Windows and now how to use that, then uninstall xchat-gnome and install xchat instead. [14:52] arvind_khadri; i had installed it previously since i couldnt remember the username and password [14:53] sudo apt-get install xchat is your friend :D [14:53] Myrtti: i am using dual boot windows with ubuntu [14:53] arvind_khadri; i reinstalled it again now...but it didnt ask me any username and password [14:53] Workk1: makes no difference [14:53] ok guys, problem connecting via wifi, but wired connection works fine- only thing that's changed since yesterday is that I was using bitlbee with irssi and now Im not [14:53] Workk1, which version of windows?

[14:54] dk, np :) [14:55] reel_: i know what you mean but i'm not sure, you could check the settings of your current media players to see what they can do [14:55] Myrtti: i am using win xp [14:55] n8tuser- do you have any idea what the solution is?? any help would be much appreciated [14:55] Wunderbar, why would you turn off wifi if doing so is an inconvenience? [14:55] reel_: smplayer claims to do that [14:55] I thought linux was supposed to be about that type of thing :> [14:55] Myrtti: yesterday i installed this ubuntu its my first experience on linux machine [14:55] because it won't allow me to connect [14:55] Wunderbar -> first is check if your wifi drivers is loaded and okay, post the results of sudo lshw -C network [14:55] ah thank you, I will have a look.

[15:04] that's the real question that Im asking [15:04] Wunderbar: no [15:04] action: i ran the update manager, and it didn't find anything else [15:04] Pici: [15:04] Wunderbar, I don't think a program would cause you to *lose* your connection [15:04] hey guys trying to set up a raid. have the dumb little built in raid controller on the mobo. have it set to raid 1, in windows it's recognized as one drive, but in linux... it shows 2 as if they aren't on a raid. help? [15:04] i need to talk to you in PVT [15:05] Workk1: go ahead [15:05] Nero-Wolf: it does but i think you have to symlink it to your browsers plugin folder [15:05] Nero: iits sun-java6-plugin I think [15:05] I can't check the checkbox. [15:05] And I tried to apt-get it and apt-get tells me the package doesn't exist in the repo. [15:05] Nero-Wolf: if you are using a 64bit linux, you wil need nspluginwrapper to run the 32bit flash [15:05] ... are you kidding? [15:05] :( That's lame. [15:05] Really? [15:05] So... there's like 30 more steps I have to do to get Java6 running in FF? [15:06] I guess I got lucky then in that I had to download ndiswrapper to get my wireless working xD [15:06] actionparsnip: any ideas? [15:06] Nero-Wolf: if you are running 64bit linux install icedtea and it runs 64bit java pretty good [15:06] made a live usb...my bois has usb fdd usb hdd usb Ls120 and usb cdrom....witch do i want [15:06] anyone have a bright idea on how to copy files over DAAP? [15:06] ActionParsnip: One problem with that... [15:06] its a usb stick [15:06] LogMeIn doesn't run. [15:06] Well, I should correct that... [15:06] I log into my desktop box at home, and it loads a single screenshot at a time. [15:07] mikeshollen: run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [15:07] That's my biggest problem right now. [15:07] hi [15:07] Been trying to get Java6 installed so that'll stop breaking. [15:07] where is the guide about creating packages [15:07] !newpackage | zxd [15:07] zxd: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [15:07] Nero-Wolf: ive not used that, i'd use ssh instead [15:07] i want to create a package that just list a few dependencies on other packages and some config files to put here and there [15:07] ssh? === rip_ is now known as Veratyr9 [15:07] Nero-Wolf: securre shell === root__ is now known as dk [15:07] is there anyway to benchmark in ubuntu? [15:08] Hi, can you configure Gnome (or X) so that a different keyboard shortcut can be used instead of Ctrl-C for copying into the clipboard? I couldn't find the option to do that in System - Preferences - Keyboard Shortcuts, and Google has not helped [15:08] From a Ubuntu box to a Windows XP box? [15:08] Nero-Wolf: gives you a command line interface to your system [15:08] ooh to xp i wouldnt know [15:08] how can i put a .deb package in ubuntu repos? [15:08] #xbins [15:08] Heh... LogMeIn is complete desktop control of the target system that has the systray client running on it. [15:08] Nero-Wolf: you can install rdesktop and rdp over as long as you have remote desktop installed [15:08] !newpackage | leonardoalt take a look [15:08] leonardoalt take a look: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [15:09] ActionParsnip: I would, if my firewall wasn't set on "paranoid". :) [15:09] Or rather, the firewall at home. [15:09] Nero-Wolf: then just allow the one port through [15:09] Tried that... [15:09] why would you use logmeinrescue when youve got vnc ? [15:09] can someone tell me what does it mean allow_other in fstab [15:09] carpii: Windows XP Box. [15:10] you can run vnc server on windows [15:10] I know that. [15:10] Thank you ubottu [15:10] kk, i just caught last bit of conversation ;) [15:10] is there much of a performance difference between ubuntu and ubuntu x64 for server stuff like running apache, mysql, postgresql? [15:10] DD-WRT > Linksys WRT54G > Set to "Paranoid". [15:10] Still can't get to my box at home, heh. [15:10] LMI works, though. Strangely... [15:10] ! [15:10] can someone tell me what does it mean allow_other in fstab i cant find explanation [15:10] does it make any sense to install ubuntu on a server with 2 GB RAM? === botman is now known as arvind_khadri [15:11] oops i meant ubuntu x64 [15:11] danfg: Sure, why not? [15:11] hello people [15:11] Pici: sorry, i meant ubuntu x64 [15:11] carpii: I'd debated on running a VNC server on the desktop at home, but I don't think it'll let me, heh. [15:11] Pici: will there be a performance advantage/hit from using ubuntu x64 instead of regular ubuntu? [15:11] why not? [15:12] i use vnc server on windows server [15:12] Again, firewall at home. [15:12] danfg: Oh, some proprietary applications do not yet offer good 64bit compatibility, but if you're just using it for a server (i.e, no graphical environment) then by all means, go for it. [15:12] Let me try opening the port again... [15:12] ah right, yea [15:12] you have remote access to the firewall ? [15:12] i dont get why its a problem then :) [15:12] carpii: For some reason, even when I open the RDP port to my windows box and have the permissions set properly, it doesn't want to connect. [15:12] Pici: but will it be better/worse for performance of stuff like apache and mysql/postgresql? [15:13] Actually... now that I think about it, avast might be blocking it... === snowwhite is now known as skywalker [15:13] have you got windows firewall turned on too? [15:13] No. [15:13] Oh hell no. [15:13] heh [15:13] hi can anyone confirm or deny this repo is down or gone: W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 60D11217247D1CFF [15:13] >:| A thousand violent deaths await the programmer who introduces himself to me with the phrase "I programmed the Windows XP Firewall!" [15:13] what port are you opening ? [15:13] Wait one. [15:14] danfg: You shouldnt have any performance hit at all. I would think you'd get better performance with those apps, but I've not done or seen any comparisons. [15:14] actionparsnip: I ran those commands and then ran top, still 73% CPU for Xorg and %22 for Gnome-System-mo [15:14] 3389 [15:14] ñóêà [15:14] hm [15:14] carpii: Wikipedia lists that as the main RDP port for Windows. [15:14] isnt that remote desktop, rather than vnc ? [15:15] Yeah... that's what I'm trying to do... I'm here at work on my Ubuntu box, and I want to RDP to my home box. [15:15] hwilde: Neither probably. Launchpad introduced the ability to sign PPAs recently, which would result in the error that you see now. Let me see if I can find a link on how to fix. [15:15] :) [15:15] hello [15:15] I cannot find a man gnome-settings-daemon. Where is a manual for gnome-settings-daemon available? [15:15] ah right [15:15] Hi all, seems like the last kernel update 2.6.27-12 broke some nvidia hardware drivers [15:15] I just installed ubuntu on my desktop and get "error 21" from grub when its loading on startup.. what should i do= [15:15] Meh, let me try checking the firewall again... [15:15] ? [15:15] sorry i thought you had a seperate vnc server installed ont he windows box === credo is now known as zumz [15:15] FYI this is on hardy [15:15] Oh, no. :p [15:16] I -wish- I had that kind of spare hardware. [15:16] I fell back to an earlier kernel but wanted to let yall know [15:16] Bolin: Google for Grub error 21. [15:16] i seem to recall some problems accessing XP boxes via RDP even in a lan environment. I assumed it was because they were on XP home and so remote desktop they have to mess about creating an invitation etc [15:16] Hmm... well... that would help. [15:16] whereas for windows server you can just remote in [15:16] carpii: No, even in XP home, it's as simple as telling Windows to allow incoming RDP connections. [15:17] My Computer >Properties > Remote Access [15:17] folk , prompt address else what-thread Pirk [15:17] ah right, its been a while since i used xp home now [15:17] :) This is what happens when you spend too many years on a Windows environment. [15:17] Hehe. [15:17] :) [15:17] or rather [15:17] :( [15:17] I know, right? [15:17] Trying to go with Ubuntu seriously now. [15:17] The only thing I'm keeping Windows for these days is for games. === betapi_ is now known as betapi [15:18] I still don't trust WINE to run Gears of War... [15:18] i ditched windows a year ago, but i keep vista on a laptop for the sole reason so i can use MS Money [15:18] guys does anyone a Wireless manager with W letter in his name? [15:18] but im trying to write a replacement for it, slow going tho :/ [15:18] one guy said it to me but I forgot the name [15:18] Pici, so, i updated my local updater, and it is expecting a key, but that launchpad repo is older so it does not have a key available. Am I interpreting right? [15:18] Yeah. I thought the other money apps available for GNOME were fairly good... [15:18] hwilde: I can't seem to find the link I was looking for, but the PPA that you are using for that repo should have instructions on it... i.e: https://launchpad.net/~projectname/+archive/ppa [15:18] Of course, I'm not doing any kind of investing or anything, so I suppose that helps. [15:18] ah theyre all a bit basic for my needs. i need small business stuff [15:18] Oh, yeah. [15:19] hwilde: More like: That project just got a key, but your system doesn't know about it yet. [15:19] GLWT. lol. [15:19] :P [15:19] Pici, doh [15:19] ... bugger. I hope I didn't just kill my router. [15:19] Bugger, bugger, bugger. [15:19] amis [15:19] oh dear [15:19] ... I think I just boned it. Lovely. [15:19] :( [15:19] how can i deny mount of Xp partiton with system files, i have two partition of ntfs file system , one XP and one Docuemnts. documents is properly mounted and can be found in fstab and mtab , but Xp partitition isnt there [15:19] Pici, i manually upgraded to OOv3.0 with deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu intrepid main [15:19] *sigh* That router was on its last legs anyways... [15:20] how can i deny mount of Xp partiton with system files, i have two partition of ntfs file system , one XP and one Docuemnts. documents is properly mounted and can be found in fstab and mtab , but Xp partitition isnt there, but is mounted [15:20] Pici: check you pvt [15:20] keyton, deny mount? i dont understand [15:20] hwilde: https://edge.launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa [15:20] i don wana ubuntu mess with my files where is Xp system [15:21] so why mount it in the first place? [15:21] carpi, undestund now [15:21] yeah i think so, i thought you were talking about remote samba mounts :p [15:22] i think i need sleep. im scatterbrain today [15:22] carpii, any idea ??? [15:22] keyton, its not in fstab or in mtab ? [15:22] carpii, no she isn't [15:22] where is it being mounted to? [15:23] Hunh. I think the firewall is sending me to the wrong computer... [15:23] After years I just lost some data from a NTFS USB HD, luckily I lost nothing important. Bought the drive some weeks ago (it has 5 yrs of guarantee), so I think, it was some sort of logical error. Is it possible, that the linux NTFS drivers were the cause of the error, or do you think, they are stable, and I should look for the reason elsewhere? [15:23] Wierd. [15:23] carpii, media [15:23] Actionparsnip: I figured it out. In the bios of the Dell Latitude c640 I'm working with, there's an option for automatic processor speed, or max performance. I set to max, and the CPU use went way down for those programs. Must have been limiting the processor speed for battery life. [15:23] i seem to recall some xml file you can edit to stop it being mounted [15:24] caprii, can yoou tell me wahat xml files [15:24] im not sure yet, looking... [15:24] carpii, ok [15:24] was it in your fstab at one point? [15:24] and you removed it? [15:24] is anyone aware of any network asset tracking database / diagramming FOSS? [15:24] carpii, xp patition isn't in fstab or mtab but is mounted [15:25] keyton, and it wasnt in fstab ever? [15:25] hello, can I use jaunty alpha 4 on a pendrive? [15:25] Meh... I'll fix it later... [15:25] carpii, no , but i need to know what does it mean allow_other in fstab [15:26] !compiz [15:26] 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 [15:26] I can find stuff on google, but I am looking for a few 'off the cuff' responses to: "Why Ubuntu? (And not Fedora, Suse, Debian, etc)" === jbache is now known as Guest26959 [15:26] please, i'd need some urgent help, cause after have enabled bicubic filter, now i have black blocks all over the screen and I cant see what i'm doing [15:27] MarcoPau: in #ubuntu+1 is discussions about Jaunty [15:28] quibbler: thank you [15:28] For some reason, Wine isn't opening exe files anymore. I click on the exe, and it just sits there, I can hear it working (the hard drive) but it doesn't open the program. [15:28] WARNING: /etc/modprobe.d/options line 19: ignoring bad line starting with 'rawr' [15:28] bullgard4: i looked around but didn't find anything that helped me [15:28] djc: I have found that Ubuntu has fantastic hardware support and is easy for beginners to use from the initial install. I have introduced several people to Linux using Ubuntu and the support community associated with it. [15:28] Hey, what is it called to connect to your Ubuntu machine using terminal? [15:28] anyone know what it means? [15:28] myownserver: ssh/ [15:28] Andry_WorkZ you could try killing X for getting into the login screen and select another "session" like "failsafe gnome" for disabling the stuff again [15:28] how can i deny mount of Xp partiton with system files, i have two partition of ntfs file system , one XP and one Docuemnts. documents is properly mounted and can be found in fstab and mtab , but Xp partitition isnt in fstab or mtab and is mounted [15:28] For some reason, Wine isn't opening exe files anymore. I click on the exe, and it just sits there, I can hear it working (the hard drive) but it doesn't open the program. Any ideas? [15:29] I can find stuff on google, but I am looking for a few 'off the cuff' responses to: "Why Ubuntu?

[15:29] Photoguy, what is this 'click' you speak of. open a term window, and run 'wine /.exe' [15:29] photoguy: run it in the terminal and look what the error is [15:29] keyton Please slow down the repeating and re-phrase your question into something better. [15:29] djc_: yes It opens the wine process [15:29] djc_ you can usually start programs in wine by simply double clicking them [15:29] hmw: It seems I cant use graphic mode now, I should go back to terminal [15:29] djc_: Fedora uses KDE, which I've personally found more limiting than Ubuntu. [15:29] how do I do that? [15:29] keyton, if it is not in fstab, it will not be mounted on boot. [15:30] Andry_WorkZ you can kill X by pressing CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE [15:30] seedso, what's the command? [15:30] how can you determine the current shell for a user? [15:30] re: wine Im kidding, I know that ($window manager) can do that.. Im a cli person [15:30] djc_, for such a debatable question why Ubuntu instead of X, better asking on #ubuntu-offtopic === chris__ is now known as FFForever [15:30] djc_: KDE is in some ways easier for people new to Linux, but it didn't have near what I needed. [15:30] myownserver, WM is irrelevant, I prefer WindowMaker [15:30] Photoguy: ssh -2cl username ip/domain [15:30] keyton, i just remembered. The xml file i mentioned was to stop it adding icons in kde. its not relevant, sorry [15:31] photoguy: ssh has to be installed [15:31] Seedso, wrong person :) [15:31] mainly becuase it gets the heck out f my way and lets me open full screen term windows [15:31] caprii, ok np [15:31] try sudo unmount /media/windows then sudo mount -a [15:31] see if it comes back [15:31] maybe someone can help me out? getting Grub error 21 on boot after installation. I have looked around using google and most of the answers i found was to check the /boot/grub/menu.1st file but how can i access the file when the system wont boot? [15:31] hi, i keep getting this error when trying to run modprobe "WARNING: /etc/modprobe.d/options line 19: ignoring bad line starting with 'rawr'" does anyone know what it means?

[15:32] photoguy: sorry :D [15:32] Hey, what is it called to connect to your Ubuntu machine using terminal? [15:32] bolin: your drive is probably referred to by stuff like /dev/hda1 or sdXX. Hint: use the UUID instead. [15:32] <`Matir> myownserver, ssh [15:32] myownserver: ssh is the prefered method. [15:32] Seedso, nor problem [15:33] Im currently on Fedora 7, and I'm considering swithcing to something else instead of updating to 10. Ubuntu is on the shortlist of options.. just wondering what the advantages are, from the perspective of someone using it [15:33] photoguy: wine program.exe [15:33] if didn;t found out yet :) [15:33] djc_: try them, see what you like [15:33] djc_, you can try the livecd without installing and see if you like it [15:33] most of what I want to ' [15:33] most of what I want to 'try' is stuff that would probably be difficult with the livecd [15:34] system config, package management [15:34] I installed LyX (frontend for latech) using the Add/remove button in Ubuntu, but LyX doesn't show up. [15:34] whY? [15:34] djc_: all do-able on a livecd [15:35] hmw: ok, i didnt know that one, but when it reloads it does the same thing [15:35] how can I remove complete a package of my PC "sudo apt-get purge remove " ? [15:35] shubuntu, probably it didnt 'install' itself into whatever wm you are using.. open a term and just type 'LyX' [15:35] kbye [15:35] djc___ i went back to ubuntu from fedora, because my fedora often "lost" some capabilities (things stopped working for no apparent reason). Other positive thing about ubuntu is the higher number of stuff you can use out of the box. in my opinion, it is a little more easy on your nerves, than fedora, except you like using the shell. [15:35] OK, WILL TRY, THX [15:35] Andry_WorkZ when the login screen comes up (i hope you dont have autologin), compiz is not yet loaded. [15:35] Bolin: See for example http://74.125.77.132/search?q=cache:WrfehpHJxoUJ:www.pendrivelinux.com/grub-error-21-after-full-install-to-usb-hard-drive/+%22Grub+error+21%22&hl=de&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=de&lr=lang_en [15:36] hmw, hrm.. what are the differences between ubuntu and debian? [15:36] djc___ no idea. i only used ubuntu, fedora and LFS in recent times. [15:36] worked! thx! [15:36] hmw: can i ask you some thing [15:36] What is a wrn? [15:37] Workk1: most probably, but how could I know that? [15:37] Workk1: btw. you just asked me something :-)=) [15:37] when i installed my ubuntu, it reserved my drive 4GB [15:37] hmw, well.. maybe I will download the dvd and play with it... got a new HD for my machine.. [15:38] How do I connect via SSH from a Windows machine? What app do I use? [15:38] but the setup was of only 700 OR 800 MB i guess [15:38] djc___ i guess, you will like ubuntu. [15:38] myownserver get "putty" [15:38] myownserver, you need an ssh client, like secureCRT or maybe putty [15:38] Thank you. [15:38] thanks a bundle, saved me lots of headscratching time.. [15:38] * djc_ baffles why someone would want to sit at a windows machine and ssh to *nix [15:38] instead of sitting at the *nix machine === _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde [15:39] hmw: ubuntu took my 4GB drive space [15:39] maybe the unix machine is 500 miles away? [15:39] but the setup was of 700MB [15:39] djc_: Because my primary machine uses software and hardware I cannot use on Linux. [15:39] so use a local *nix machine [15:39] ah [15:39] djc_: chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic [15:39] win afs wornf [15:39] it always baffles me why people dont answer a question but instead try to persude them to do something they didnt want to do ;) [15:40] Workk1 you usually download updates after a fresh install, and most probably will install more apps, too. If the partition would be 700MB, you couldnt use the system after a very short while. About the 4GB - this much is quite a nice amount of disk space for ubuntu, so that you can play arount quite much wihtout getting into out-of-disk-space situations. Next time, do the partitioning manually. [15:40] 뭐라씨부렁되고있냐 [15:40] quibbler, someone die and make you god of irc? [15:40] 뭐라씨부렁 [15:40] ㅜㅜ [15:40] ^^ [15:40] hmw: i see [15:40] ㅡㅡ [15:41] ㅏㅣ [15:41] hmw: see at the moment i am download a software updates for my ubuntu coz from yesterday i am getting some thing like new thing available etc [15:41] Workk1 - its quite easy. you need a partition as "swap" (roughly around 1GB) and at least 2GB for the root file sys ("/") [15:41] its of 234MB in size [15:42] i'm looking for a clean BASH script to RENAME mp3s to ARTIST - TITLE (ALBUM) and then move them to $TARGETDIR does anyone have any suggestions? [15:42] can anyone please tell me with what apt resolves names? cos nslookup n stuff works fine, i can ping but apt tells me it cannot resolve names? [15:42] Why are running 4 processes gvfsd-trash on one Ubuntu 8.04.2 computer but on another only 1? [15:42] hmw: the minimum is the amount of RAM, because if it's less, hibernate won't work [15:42] remoteCTR1, cat /etc/resolv.conf [15:42] Workk1 - you might like this: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ [15:43] !ko [15:43] For Korean help, /join #ubuntu-ko [15:43] hmw: tell me some thing.. like the commands in fedora core etc we use... do we have the same commands for ubuntu too === Blacki__ is now known as Blacki [15:43] remoteCTR1: if it says: could not resolve DNS name, your problem is probably your DNS server (wich would most likely not be set) [15:43] Myrtti - uh?? hibernating uses swap? thats quite cool, didnt know. now i know, why it crashes! lol [15:43] hmw: sure i'ma gonna check it [15:43] !ko | mac [15:43] mac: For Korean help, /join #ubuntu-ko [15:43] What are these programs that everyone gets which tell you your cpu consumption? [15:43] I just installed Wubi on my Compaq Presario, and when I boot to it, I get BusyBox for some reason. [15:43] #ubuntu-es [15:43] hmw: hibernation == write what's in RAM to disk and power off [15:43] Workk1 - almost. you dont have yum but apt: "sudo apt-get install PACKAGE" [15:44] Elda: System monitor [15:44] So, I just installed the new Kubuntu... I was under the impression the Desktop Special Effects were build in (i.e 3D Cube) and ready to use after install??? I guess i'm completely wrong? [15:44] Myrtti i know what it is, but as a dumb win user, i didnt think about, how linux would do such a thing. win writes to a special file on the C: drive by default. [15:44] hmw: actually from switching from windows machine to this linux sub type ubuntu its kinda hard [15:44] but i am hoping for good :) [15:45] hmw: yup. but now you know where it writes that data :-) [15:45] Wow, what the heck? Which version of Putty do I need? [15:45] workk, its hard for everyone ;) it gets easier as you become more familiar with it [15:45] Workk1 i didnt expirience that. to me ubuntu seems quite easy (i know some stuff about linux, admitted). if you use ubuntu for some weeks, you might even like the "feel" of the GUI more than win's.

You might have to configure it to your will tho. [15:46] anTiX: ie. nautilus [15:46] myownserver, proftpd is not a client...

[15:48] now i have the ubuntu and i've installed Xchat [15:49] but i cant find the channel i used to connect to [15:49] Workk1 - you might want to apt-get stuff like "ntfs-config", themes from art.gnome.org, apt-get the pack "fusion-icon", and "mplayer" / "mplayer gui" (plays virtually any vid). [15:49] and i dont know how to find it [15:49] Oripor: look for compizConfig manager [15:49] w33d5, a bash script, or you mean some software you can run from terminal ?

Im trying to get my Dell Latitude D630 working when docked . Everything seems fine aside from the display. When docked, i see the console booting, but once X Starts, it uses the laptop display, versus the external one. I can do a ctrl+alt+F1 , and it goes to console mode, on the external monitor, but cant seem to get X to pick up the switch, anyone know any tips/tricks ? [15:52] hmw: i used it yesterday pidgin [15:52] hmw: but it was not connecting to irc [15:52] Joker_-_: it was an mdns entry in nsswitch.conf that i removed, now it works [15:52] it was very hard for me to understand it though i was able to log on to my MSN account [15:53] Workk1 - do you need some unusual settings for your inet connection? i never needed a proxy for IRC [15:53] remoteCTR1: playing with config files is always a dangerous thing, wich I strongly encourage ;) [15:53] raqphil_mad: was it about java scripting?

Before installation I wanted to try out ubuntu 8.10 live version, but I have WEIRD problem with network. I'm using wired internet with router. Ubuntu connects to internet everything is fine except that i can only access www.google.com and nothing else!! I found some suggestions for fixing this problem here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=418144) but it didnt work. Can someone please tell me how to fix this? [15:55] Also, is it possible to get that scroll wheel like in windows ? [15:56] ah cmon, we dont really wanna hear about your argument with some unknown op [15:56] What's the trick to open a text document on a windows PC via SSH connection? [15:56] I mean.. when you click the scroll wheel in , the little circle comes up [15:56] and you can move it up/down/left/right [15:56] to scroll for you [15:56] Joker_-_: well basically it used to work just fine, the nessessity to screw emerged out of the above problem;) [15:56] Gedit obviously won't work. [15:56] myownserver, you ssh to the linux box and open the editor inside the ssh term [15:56] SuperMT, I know what you are talking about, but I think this is more about getting the software/drivers for that :> [15:56] Elda: do you understand korean :) [15:56] Im trying to install skype but I get an error saying "Error: Dependency is notstisfiable: libqt4-core" [15:56] Workk1, nope sorry :> I use altavista+babelfish [15:57] lolz i don't know how to play korean game [15:57] myownserver, try something like nano filename [15:57] carpii: What editor is that? [15:57] zendo: can you ping out to the internet? try "ping ist.org" and then (if failed) "ping 212.69.162.25" [15:57] Gotcha. [15:57] Myrtti : This XrandR Extension will allow me to swap the Xserver's Display from the internal laptop to the external attached dock monitor ? [15:57] Elda: why in the hell wouldn't it come with the OS [15:57] Elda: i love gaming [15:57] myownserver, theres lots. nano is one of the more user freindly, CTRL-O to save, CTRL-X to quit [15:57] deathtech: very probably [15:57] Scutum: how are you installing skype? [15:57] does anyone know how I can get the GUI up if Wubi keeps taking me to a busybox command-line? If I cannot get this working, the users of my network will not be very happy. [15:57] if I have both wifi and ethernet how can I tell which one is being used? [15:57] hi all [15:57] you know i have 98GTX plus graphics card [15:57] Elda: or perhaps it's the GUi [15:57] lasivian: check your routes [15:57] both are connected but the ethernet is much faster, however the icon in gnome shows wifi [15:57] lasivian - look to the kernel routing table - type "route" in a shell window [15:57] lasivian: if they both have the same default route - they will likley take your networking down [15:57] I tried both ways with the command line then I downloaded the app and double click it [15:58] SuperMT, it may be there but keep in mind Ubuntu is a NON FOR PROFIT project which is made to work basically on all computers, but for the extra stuff you have to do it yourself :P [15:58] have you played Gearz of War 2 [15:58] thanks [15:58] Workk1: why ? [15:58] Workk1, not so much [15:58] anyone from edubuntu server circles knows if edubuntu 8.10 works x300 thin client? [15:58] hmw: for trying only that command I would need to reboot, boot up live session again, and come here... it has some problem with tcp window size but cannot fix it [15:58] Myrtti: if someone were spamming you in PM in korean, would you not think directing them to the korean help channel correct? [15:58] maki: should do [15:58] Workk1: let's keep this channel for support questions, please [15:58] <^Cheeky> hi installed the lastest eclipse version by downloading from the site, how can i add it to my applications menu and give it a category ? [15:58] Elda: a scroll type thing is going to break computers? [15:58] ikonia: really ? [15:58] well, atleast if you like to play game you should have a good 3D graphics card [15:58] betapi: no? [15:58] maki: think so [15:58] Myrtti: why not? :\ [15:58] myownserver: alternate method (for .doc, xls or anything else than plain text): sftp (ie: filezilla), download file, play with it, upload it back, thank you come again? [15:58] SuperMT, no but by the same token is it even necessary to get a base function of the OS? [15:59] zendo - do you have DSL (ADSL, XDSL)? if yes, your problem is the "MTU Size" [15:59] betapi: I'd ask them to stop first... [15:59] Myrtti: sure... [15:59] Yes [15:59] hrrm, there is only one default gateway listed, neither ethernet nor wifi show a gateway [15:59] Myrtti: :) NP [15:59] SuperMT, the difference between this and windows is that you have to do some of the stuff yourself :P [15:59] ikonia: will try, but i think the driver only works on 7.04 [15:59] Myrtti: its hard to get a word in edgewise with mountains of spam characters scrolling down [15:59] maki: what driver ? [15:59] zendo: asked in another way: do you have PPPoE [15:59] hmw: I think so. So can you please tell me how to fix that MTU size? [15:59] I'm not running my res at a super high res so everyone's page fits in the browswer window [15:59] yet the text is tiny [15:59] SuperMT, not to say that you won't be able to get it done but there are TONS of guides for doing most anything you could want. [16:00] Then change your font size [16:00] ikonia: the x300 thin client driver [16:00] SuperMT: are you talking about ctrl+ scroll wheel mouse? [16:00] maki: pretty sure it's in the later kernels and stable too [16:00] hi, has anyone an idea which process is permanently accessing my harddisk. Whenever I boot into Ubuntu the lamp starts flickering and never stops - even after hours. [16:00] ikonia: the problem is that it is proprietary [16:00] Joker_-_: You want me to try "ctrl + scroll wheel click" ? [16:01] SuperMT: nope, wheel "roll" [16:01] woum, open terminal and type 'top'. make sure its not using a lot of swap space [16:01] maki: oh, not the open one - try it [16:01] zendo: only in principle, depends on your router/firewall. you need to tell it, to use 8 bytes less than 1500 for one ethernet frame, due to 8 bytes PPPoE overhead. Google for "MTU Size problem" or tell me more details about your home network [16:01] SuperMT: it zooms in and out in a webpage. characters will be bigger or smaller [16:01] Elda: let me ask you some thing important [16:01] hmw: I dont think I do. I really am not sure. This is not my pc and all I know is it has wire connection with router and ubuntu connects automatically wiht no problem... sorry I cannot explain better [16:01] Joker_-_: no, that's for text. I was talkign about scrolling up and down. [16:01] SuperMT: thats a standard feature in all browsers, even IE [16:01] Workk1, sure.... not sure if I can help though. I am a novice user in Linux myself [16:01] Joker_-_: the little white/black mouse thing in Windows [16:01] Elda: today when i booted my system to ubuntu it gave me 3 times errors [16:02] that points up ^ and down [16:02] SuperMT: oh, guess I should try to answer questions I havent read :P [16:02] Workk1, yeah that is over my head [16:02] Elda: it was like operation failure etc [16:02] and you can gradualy drag it up and down for the scroll speed [16:02] or to left/right [16:02] and it game me 2 choices like dskclean etc [16:02] Workk1, well google? [16:02] then i did a trick to enter in to recovery mode and then i was able to run this ubuntu [16:02] SuperMT: what? black and white mouse that you drag? sry I dont follow you [16:02] Is there a difference between Data DVD-Rs and other DVD-Rs? Because Brasero is calling my blank DVD-R a "Data disk" and refusing to burn a video on it. [16:02] Brb... [16:03] SuperMT: are you talking about the scroll bars? [16:03] hey guys trying to set up a raid. have the dumb little built in raid controller on the mobo. have it set to raid 1, in windows it's recognized as one drive, but in linux... it shows 2 as if they aren't on a raid. help?

You need to use LVM for doing RAID (logical volumes manager) [16:04] oh [16:04] hmw: yea exactly [16:05] Good day to everybody [16:05] superMT: what are you trying to do and what doesnt work as you expect it to? [16:05] Elda: correct [16:05] Veratyr9 - thats totally normal. get a real raid controller, unless you want raid for security (not performance9 [16:05] Elda: Oh, right [16:05] if I have wifi and ethernet connecting to the same network and "route" only shows one gateway under "default" is there any way to tell which interface is being used? [16:05] SuperMT: I hate that feature lol [16:05] hmw: its on the list of things to get when theres a spare paycheck. i hate this onboard crap [16:05] Joker_-_: shrug [16:06] Veratyr9 yeah, onboard shall die *g* especially those dumb "raid" controllers. [16:06] SuperMT: tastes arent to discuss tho. I never tryed to get that thing in linux, but iirc, it's usually provided by mouse drivers. [16:06] can someone tell me when you can specify CLI install when installing from the alternate CD? [16:06] hmw: do you think that if I find some MTU size value with (sudo ifconfig eth0 1400) I should stop at it and put that command int /etc/rc.d/rc.local ? [16:06] does the latest Ubuntu support ext4? [16:06] what is the syntax to ssh to a box on a port other than 22? [16:06] hanasaki: ssh -p port# ip [16:07] SuperMT: you could always map the middle button click to a function that would then capture the mouse moovements and scroll the documents according to it...

[16:14] austin: you need to untar it (decompress) [16:14] SuperMT: anyway, I google that: "mouse middle click scroll ubuntu" and it's the first hit. [16:15] Joker_-_: what about weechat? It rocks :) [16:15] Joker_-_: But why loose something I already scripted all kinds of protection in to [16:15] cchildress: its songbird, i have it uncompressed, and my terminal is pointed in the file with CD....../congfigure won't work [16:15] Jeruvy: have only one HD with a good bit of room on it, computer is just like i bought it except i added ram to it. [16:15] Joker_-_: just to have to redo it [16:15] drax2gma: never tryed anything else since I found IRSSI so I can't tell ;) [16:15] Joker_-_: :) [16:15] austin: have you already run the installation commands it instructs you to perform? [16:15] some here there can help me? [16:15] hmw things dont always need to get de-compressed, as in login or gnome themes [16:16] !patience > oz7t [16:16] SuperMT: to get rid of windows and closed source apps ;) [16:16] oz7t, please see my private message [16:16] cchildress: I don't think so....where do i find them? [16:16] are there somebodo there can help me? [16:16] austin: why did you mention, that it was tar.gz at all?? i dont know the software, maybe the README helps you [16:16] !patience [16:16] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [16:16] austin: typically they are make commands. i'd strongly suggest reading the README file that's probably in the base folder of the archive [16:16] Is there any virtualisation software from which I can run Ubuntu that is completely 'portable', i.e. does not alter the host computer? Kind of like if I converted VMware Thinkstation with VMware Thinkapp [16:16] *thinapp [16:16] Jack_Sparrow he talked about software [16:16] Joker_-_: Adolf Khlablahblha-Bey would not approv of these messages you say. [16:16] wemdowemd: by default, ubuntu live CD is exactly that [16:16] oz7t: only the developer can debug that assert file a bug report [16:17] |bugs | oz7t [16:17] hi room.... i have Ubuntu-8.04.2, Intergraph GL2 Series A, Intel Pentium II ( 450 MHz x 2 ) .... Creative Sound Blaster 16 Wave Effects on ISA Slot.... i loaded the snd-sb16 sound module but it is not working? [16:17] Joker_-_: He will send his SS on yo rear [16:17] cchildress: it doesn't give me any installation instructions, just tells me the new thigns, and some documentation [16:17] SuperMT: it's Adam, I think Markam bey? something like that === FlareFlare is now known as Flare183 [16:17] hmw that covers a broad area.. simply best to ask first what they are trying to install [16:17] !bugs | oz7t [16:17] oz7t: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [16:17] ersul ok [16:17] Joker_-_: Tomatoes, tuhmatoes [16:17] Joker_-_: It would be, except a) you can't save changes on it, and b) it still requires the rebooting of the target computer [16:17] SuperMT: ;) [16:17] ubuttu ok i try [16:17] Can i get some help setting up unique wallpapers for my different workspaces? [16:17] Joker_-_: What I'm thinking of might be more akin to a 'portable wubi' [16:18] wemdowemd: then you can always use the virtual box software [16:18] I need some help setting up my wireless internet again. Someone just came to our house and set up Comcast Digital telephone service, gave us a new modem...now my wireless driver isn't picking up any wireless connections [16:18] bbl [16:18] ashok_ /join #compiz for help with that [16:18] hey jack, so good to see yoU:) [16:18] thanks jack [16:18] Anyway, I'm being told to remove xubuntu-desktop that I need to remove each indvidual package that was installed ? [16:18] np === OSte is now known as OSste [16:18] obottu its difficult with the language hi hi [16:18] Joker_-_: Does this virtual box software require installation on the host machine? [16:18] hi, can u tell me the octal form for a+rw [16:18] wemdowemd: you could have a virtualbox (wich is a vmware port). Yes it does require an installation on host. [16:18] a vmware port? [16:19] loller ty in MC [16:19] cchildress: It says somethign about GSstreamer, that its there main media play back....must i install that? [16:19] austin: alright...not sure exactly where to tell you to go...but maybe i can get a copy of the archive and be more help [16:19] ashok_: wrong words, good idea ;) [16:19] loller: depends on the previous status of the permissions [16:19] :P === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [16:19] loller try with MC [16:19] ashok_: rebuilt of vmware would be more appropriate? [16:19] how do I set my connection setting so I get the same IP address from my home router? [16:19] cchildress: its called songbird [16:19] austin: it should already be there. gstreamer is included in ubuntu afaik [16:19] I have used the howto on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto and manually set up my menu.1st where /boot is located and also where / is located.. but still i get Error 21 on bootup [16:19] ashok_: vmware-like open-source app? [16:19] well, comparing the performance of the two [16:19] oz7t MC? [16:19] how do i install ubuntu 8.04 without messing up my windows vista already installed? will following the prompts on the livecd work ok or is there something specific i should do? [16:19] that sounds better ;) [16:19] Bolin Would you like me to look at that [16:20] Joker_-_: It is the installation on host bit that I'm trying to avoid - otherwise virtual box and VMWare would be fine already [16:20] Jack_Sparrow i will memorize that. But: Are there "programs" that can be installed without untarring (except .deb) at all? [16:20] cchildress: alright, so i'm still having trouble installing. (i tryed teh .deb, but it refuses to load when i click on the icon, so i'm trying tar.gz) [16:20] yes thas a very good program for ubuntu [16:20] Jack_Sparrow: yes please... can i query you? [16:20] ashok_: thats what samba is to windows netowrk computing ;) [16:20] Hey everyone can anyone help me with Super Grub Disk? [16:20] How can i upgrade ubuntu to ubuntu ultimate [16:20] What the hell is Ubuntu Ultimate [16:20] natty stay with 8.04 thats good [16:20] Natty: I think you have to do a fresh install [16:20] Bolin yes.. or /join #Jack_Sparrow [16:20] !language | SuperMT [16:20] SuperMT: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [16:20] SuperMT: a non-supported clone distro [16:21] wemdowemd: maybe you could burn your own live CD wich would mount config and /home to a usb disk? [16:21] austin: i'd suggest checking out what went wrong with the .deb rather than a manual install, to keep things clean on your system [16:21] Flare183 ? [16:21] wemdow: give me a min and i will find the link to the video that covers the exact thing you are trying to do [16:21] My wireless has stopped picking up signals after someone came to our house and gave us a new modem and set us up for Comcast Digital Phone Service. Wireless was previously working with the ath5k fix...I've run through the procedure to set that up again and it still won't work [16:21] Ubuntu ultimate looks kool [16:21] SuperMT: Watch your language [16:21] really kool [16:21] cchildress: alright, how do i go about chckign? i donwladed and reinstalled twice [16:21] Flare183: and again ? [16:21] I need help with Super Grub Disk it is not being able to read my partitions [16:21] cchildress: and restarted nermerus times [16:21] Joker_-_: Running the OS from a liveCD would still require rebooting into it thoug [16:21] Natty: in what way do you see it different from ubuntu ? [16:21] but i want the gamers edition [16:21] SuperMT: Read the rules/CoC please [16:21] Natty: you have to do a fresh install [16:22] Natty: what's in the gamers edition that you want ? [16:22] Hi All! Any working feisty repos out there? [16:22] austin: you'll find that restarting your pc rarely helps linux...brb i'm checking the .deb [16:22] Games [16:22] brian98: festy is eol [16:22] wemdowemd: http://www.revision3.com/systm/usbbooting2 [16:22] Natty: the games are available in the ubuntu repo, just install what you want from the repo's [16:22] Natty: you know you can manually install games [16:22] !upgrade | brian98 [16:22] brian98: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [16:22] cchildress: ok. hehe restart is a thing of windows then [16:22] * SuperMT shrugs [16:22] That takes awhile [16:22] !coc > SuperMT [16:22] SuperMT, please see my private message [16:23] hi [16:23] Flare183: what is he doing ? [16:23] I have quite a few servers running fine I don't want to upgrade, I just want to apt-get install ntp :) [16:23] !coc > hmw [16:23] hmw, please see my private message [16:23] ikonia: He is not listening. [16:23] it also has a cool interface [16:23] Natty: would you rather lose everything and start fresh? If so just download the ultimate ISO and install it [16:23] ikonia: I think he is talking about a place. [16:23] i'm having problems installing Mozart on 64b, is there a way to install it using 32b on the same machine? [16:23] Natty: it's gnome - the same as ubuntu [16:23] brian98: do you understand what I mean by "eol"? [16:23] I do. [16:23] Natty: just grab the theme and wallpaper and whatnot, then you're set [16:23] Frare183 <- What a jobsworth! [16:23] CAN ANY ONE HELP? [16:23] Hi all! I'm looking software for java programming! Anyone? [16:24] brian98: so why would you run servers on a distro that no longer receives security updates? [16:24] austin: yeah, windows has all sorts of reasons why restarting helps. typically in linux you only restart a specific service or app, not the whole machine [16:24] jrib: If it ain't broke :) [16:24] austin: unless it's something really major like the kernel [16:24] Templis__ try Eclipse [16:24] My wireless has stopped picking up signals after someone came to our house and gave us a new modem and set us up for Comcast Digital Phone Service. Wireless was previously working with the ath5k fix...I've run through the procedure to set that up again and it still won't work [16:24] cchildress: alright cool, so the DEB is locaed under contributed builds i think [16:24] ok so im about to do a softraid setup. i have 2 750's that are currently identical data, but are NTFS. Is there a way to setup softraid, convert them to ex3? I was thinking of putting drive A in a windows box, formatting drive B to ext3, then copying via network all the data from A to B, then putting A in and format to ext3, then copy data over to it. Will this work or am i set to loose data [16:24] it also has compiz fusion [16:24] brian98: A server not getting security updates is pretty broken [16:24] Natty: so does ubuntu [16:24] Natty: which ubuntu release are you running? [16:24] 8.10 [16:24] hmw Does it build jre too? [16:25] so they pull the repos completely when they stop supporting? [16:25] Natty: ubuntu 8.10 has compiz fusion [16:25] Natty: sudo apt-get install compiz-config-settings-manager [16:25] ok [16:25] Natty: We do not support Ubuntu Ultimate here, it is not an official version of Ubuntu. [16:25] !fakeraid | Veratyr9 [16:25] Veratyr9: raid is Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID wto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto === salmenara is now known as Varaner === Varaner is now known as Varanger [16:25] brian98: security updates are no longer guaranteed. The repos are available in an archive so you can upgrade. I recommend you upgrade to 8.04. You won't have to worry about support until 2013 then [16:26] Templis__ dont know really, but some of my friends use it and they say, it would be THE thing for java (and other languages). I guess it does. [16:26] Why are running 4 processes gvfsd-trash on one Ubuntu 8.04.2 computer but on another only 1? [16:26] erUSUL: just read that, but there isn't anything in there about preserving data. [16:26] Natty: you might also want to sudo apt-get install emerald emerald-themes [16:26] Natty: then you can make your system look pretty by downloading themes for emerald [16:26] bullgard4: different files deleted from different gvfsd file systems ? [16:26] Veratyr9: sorry for the noise then [16:26] jrib: The repos are in an archive, where do I find the info for sources.list? [16:26] austin: the .deb just worked 100% perfect for me -_- [16:26] erUSUL: np :) [16:26] bullgard4 due to a crash of some programs? sounds like somehting hangs. did you perhaps try to empty the trashcan without success 4 times? [16:27] ok [16:27] austin: where did you get the .deb from? and what version of ubuntu are you running? [16:27] ikonia: Yes, this may have been the case. But I do not remember well. [16:27] brian98: read the info I had ubottu give you [16:27] Anyone know if there is an easy way to rebuild a panel that I deleted? [16:27] I like kool stuff [16:27] bullgard4: I'm only assuming, [16:27] jrib: Thanks. [16:27] Anyone, please I need help with Super Grub Disk!!!! [16:27] cchildress: http://www.getdeb.net/release/3520 i'm running 8.10 64 bit [16:27] !resetpanel | ashok_ [16:27] xsever: that's nothing to do with ubuntu [16:27] ashok_: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [16:27] xsever: ubuntu do not make super grub disk [16:27] erUSUL: thanks [16:28] do the <<'s go in the command as well? [16:28] ikonia: could you at least point me in the right direction where to go [16:28] My wireless has stopped picking up signals after someone came to our house and gave us a new modem and set us up for Comcast Digital Phone Service. Wireless was previously working with the ath5k fix...I've run through the procedure to set that up again and it still won't work [16:28] ashok_: no [16:28] all: does anyone know where I can go to find a step by step tutorial(preferably with pics) on how to install ubuntu 8.10 on a machine already running Vista Home Premium without messing up Vista? [16:28] anyone? [16:28] please? [16:28] xsever: no idea [16:28] xsever: check the website [16:28] austin: i would suggest this link for the .deb: http://files.tac-ops.net/ubuntu/songbird_1.0.0_i686_unter-hund-blog.deb [16:28] brb [16:28] hmw: I do not remember well. It may well have been that I tried to empty the trashcan unsuccessfully several times. How to proceed now? [16:28] and the games are in the repo [16:28] bullgard4: kill the processes ? [16:28] Natty: what do you want from this channel ? [16:29] InvaderZim, just start up Vista, pop in your Ubuntu install disk, and select Install Ubuntu, it'll install Ubuntu inside of Vista, and you can later uninstall Ubuntu like any other windows program [16:29] ikonia: I will kill them bravely. [16:29] hmw: Ok, I'll try! [16:29] Anything that makes my ubuntu look kool [16:29] bullgard4: I would too [16:29] bullgard4 - hmm... i would try to kill the processes and watch, if they come back (automatically? triggered by some action of yours?) [16:29] Natty: gnome-look.org [16:29] jrib: Great, thanks for that.. I will start upgrading the servers when I get a chance.. I have about 20 boxes with that version of ubuntu ser, should have stuck with Debian :) [16:29] Baatti: Otherwise known as Wubi... ;) [16:29] ok [16:29] Natty: compiz [16:29] !themes > Natty [16:29] Natty, please see my private message [16:29] Hi, would anyone here be able to help me install my eyetoy on ubuntu? i've found every guide i can and ic ant get them to work righ :\ [16:30] I am also a young programmer [16:30] xsever: eyetoy ? [16:30] hmw: There was no autmatism involved I guess. [16:30] doing c & c++ [16:30] ps2 eyetoy [16:30] InvaderZim: I found a video tutorial if you're interested? [16:30] Xrm123: heh, there's an idea [16:30] hi there, where can i get hd-media/boot.img.gz for 8.04.2? [16:30] what stuff for that too [16:30] My wireless has stopped picking up signals after someone came to our house and gave us a new modem and set us up for Comcast Digital Phone Service. Wireless was previously working with the ath5k fix...I've run through the procedure to set that up again and it still won't work [16:30] Natty: this channel is for ubuntu support discussion only [16:30] pringat: hd-meida ? [16:30] !ot > Natty [16:30] Natty, please see my private message === sebest_ is now known as sebest [16:31] yownanymous: I've gotten it to work on windows, but i cant get the drivers to work in ubuntu [16:31] Natty: there are many ides editors and a compiler for c c++ aviable on the repos [16:31] ikonia: hd-media I meant... [16:31] Baatti: really? it knows how to do the partition things without messing it up? [16:31] ashok_: yes, please [16:31] pringat: what is the hd-media/boot.img ? [16:31] bullgard4 it might be possible, that another process is trying to do something, which might cause these processes to appear again. My hint was just a generic one. [16:31] InvaderZim: the point is it doesn't partition [16:31] brian98: how long is a debian release supported out of curiousity? [16:31] ikonia: to boot the installer from a USB for instance.... [16:31] InvaderZim, yes, it will set up a partition for you. Just choose a guided partition when asked === ObiWanQueNoob is now known as WHATEVER [16:31] InvaderZim: baatti is correct, but if you check the PM i just sent you theres a link to part 1 of 5 video tutorials [16:32] Baatti: actually it sets up a virtual disk which ubuntu thinks is a partition [16:32] :P [16:32] well, whatever the technical names for it are, its pretty friggin' cool [16:32] cchildress: it sitll won't load....like i click on it and it shows up in the bar below, and goes away after a few seconds [16:32] Baatti: thank you [16:32] ashok_: thank you [16:32] Baatti: indeed, a real operating system run on the idea of a virtual machine [16:32] InvaderZim: yep ;) [16:33] ikonia, hmw I killed 3 of them using System Monitor. They did not re-appear. [16:33] yownanymous: hurr. ok [16:33] bullgard4: seems a good sign [16:33] yownanymous, can you try and hlep me fix my wireless? [16:33] InvaderZim: it's complicated, but trust me, it works [16:33] Baatti: what's up with it? [16:33] Can anyone recommend me good guitar composition software? [16:33] ikonia: I finally went back and found out about the nonsupported clone distro reply after the various attempts to distract [16:33] jrib: I've never ran into this issue with debian servers, I have one box that is running since 2003 [16:34] bullgard4 - if they should reappear, you will have to hunt down the source. if not, well... forget about it. Maybe you want to check your drives for data integrity. [16:34] yownanymous, I was previously using the ath5k fix, everything was working fine. But now someone came to the house to install Comcast Digital Phone service, and gave us a new modem..now my wireless won't work [16:34] yownanymous, I've followed the original steps to try and set up ath5k again, still not working [16:34] It looked like it'd need a monster of a video card. [16:34] Baatti: erm... Have you contacted Comcast about it? [16:34] hmw: Thank you for your careful additional hints. [16:35] yownanymous, nay, my father's Vista is working just fine. He didn't have to change anything on his computer [16:35] I forgot my password for ubutnu [16:35] Baatti: before did you have wireless networks showing up besides your own? [16:35] How i find out what is the password [16:35] gnome voice control not working [16:35] Baatti: that's an odd one, can you give me some specs for you and your dad's computer then? [16:35] ashok_, yes one [16:35] alpha4: you need to reset it [16:35] alpha4: boot into single user mode and reset it [16:35] yownanymous, what kind of specs? [16:36] alpha4: here is a uide http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [16:36] Baatti: well most particularly [16:36] Baatti: can you still detect that network? [16:36] things like wireless/network adapters [16:36] ashok_, no, no networks are showing up [16:36] I install gnome voice control [16:36] Baatti: you got a new modem but the wifi router/access point is the same? [16:36] yownanymous, hrm, I'm using Atheros 5007 I believe [16:36] it said its installed [16:36] erUSUL, correct [16:36] Baatti: ah, infamous atheros [16:37] but wont work [16:37] yownanymous, aye [16:37] Baatti: well I'm not very good with telecom technology so I probably can't help, sorry [16:37] once again... does any body know where can i get hd-media/boot.img.gz for 8.04.2? [16:37] How do I accept the license for java in terminal? [16:38] yownanymous, its ok, thanks for the attempt, looks like I've grabbed the attention of a few others anyway [16:38] ashok_: use tab and enter [16:38] erUSUL: grahtzee [16:38] Baatti: what about a kernel update or something? it might work [16:38] ashok_: tab to navigate to the ok button and enter to "press" it [16:38] I updated the kernal last night :( [16:38] hmm [16:38] how strange [16:38] erUSUL: grahtzee = thank you :P [16:38] yeah, I'm like, clueless [16:39] ashok_: no problem [16:39] Baatti: to me it sounds like an issue on your system only because you lost both wireless networks, not just yours [16:39] well I think I'm gonna go now [16:39] ashok_, aye, any ideas on how I'd go about fixing/finding out what went wrong? [16:40] my ubuntu home server crashed and it brought down my wife's life support system [16:40] brian98: "The Debian security team releases security updates for the latest stable major release, as well as for the previous stable release for one year." http://www.debian.org/security/faq#lifespan [16:40] Baatti: I came to this channel only with my powers of deductive reasoning, no previous linux experience, I fear :P [16:40] can anyone help me with a song brid install? [16:40] ashok_, heh, well, thank you much for the help [16:40] Baatti: yep, sorry i'm a linux nub [16:41] I'm thinking I should just back up my stuff, and reinstall linux *sigh* [16:41] Baatti: ooc, have you tried booting into the older kernel version? [16:41] hrmm [16:41] no, haven't tried that... [16:41] That might give you a nice jumping off point to troubleshoot it, if it works in the older kernel version === osxdude_ is now known as osxdude [16:41] jrib: The repos don't get pulled. It's no biggie, I wasn't aware of the old-releases repo.. [16:41] um *blush* how do I boot to an older kernal??? [16:42] when you get grub [16:42] jrib: Thats fine for the moment until I can get to a bleeding edge version :) [16:42] Baatti, in the grub menu [16:42] that big long list are all the previous kernel versions [16:42] brian98: because running an unsupported release is a bad idea... === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [16:42] k [16:42] just scroll 2 listings down to the one that isn't (recovery mode) [16:42] brian98: nothing to do with bleeding edge, even 6.06 still has support [16:42] I'm going to try a few things...thanks for the starting point guys...I might see you later [16:42] peace [16:42] peace [16:43] jrib: Which is older than 7.04 .. Thats like microsoft dropping support for windowsXP but supporting windows 2000 [16:43] Thanks [16:43] brian98, nope not quite [16:43] LTSes get longer support [16:43] :) [16:43] how do i grant a user permission to create samba shares? [16:43] can anyone help me out on atheros wifi support thing? [16:43] LTSes are for business - like Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Windows 2003 [16:43] brian98: the LTS exist exactly so servers only need to be upgraded once every 5 years [16:43] its like microsoft dropping support for vista but leaving xp supported [16:44] Thanks for everything, Everyone! ashok [16:44] hey, by any chance, if I change gnome to icewm, will it remove the qtlibs? I have no idea if they are related or not, but I wanna go playing with my eebuntu base install :) [16:44] Agreed, and I like a right plonker decided to roll out 7.04 to servers about when it came out.

I just wanted to make it clear to you that running servers without getting updates for security issues is dangerous [16:45] unless there are no security issues :) [16:46] remember how long the Debian openSSL flaw went unnoticed by devs? [16:46] brian98: then there would be no updates, [16:46] Imagine that, except nobody is looking for security flaws [16:46] enjoy your "128 bit" encryption... [16:46] unless it's related to something your exposing to the world then it doesn't matter [16:46] Afternoon [16:47] brian98: it does matter, but if you feel you know better, lets stop discussing it [16:47] the point is, who knows what the actual flaws are if nobody is looking for it? [16:47] anyway, 8.10 has a cooler login sound :P [16:47] ashok_, its the same... [16:48] so if your blocking all traffic except to say port 80 and there is no issues with apache which is listening on that port, whats the vulnerabilty? [16:48] brian98: look at what apache is linked against, lets move on [16:48] arvind_khadri: shhhh...... :P [16:49] I was wondering if someone could help me - I have a 3 screen set-up with two Nvidia cards using Xinerama, where I upgraded to 8.10 today from 8.04, my screens no longer work.

I've recently read that Vista can mess up if you do the partitioning wrong. will the automatic install wizard do that for vista? [16:53] dk: just a waring, fix your ServerName varible if you want to get rid of it [16:53] Enissay you need to tell virtualbox about the other hdds and then you cann access them via the network neigbhourhood [16:53] Enissay, you can't [16:53] dk: it's an apache config varible [16:53] InvaderZim: yes [16:53] arvind_khadri: i did as ActionParsnip said but it didnt worked and it even stopped my gui when i restarted GUI.

[17:30] ratinacage78: to restart X ? [17:30] yeah [17:30] <|Sigma|> alpha4: if you have an extra HDD around, you might be better off using that as your /home... never lose info if your linux install gets trashed :D [17:30] ratinacage78: ctr-alt-backspace [17:31] how can i install sun's java on x64 intrepid instead of IcedTea?

[17:40] ratinacage78: that's standard now with the recent X, no need to set anything specific ... which makes me wonder if there's something in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log that explains why you're locked into 800x600 ... did you check that log file for errors, lines starting with (EE) ? [17:40] if it doesn't exist, well, that's a different story [17:40] refefer: so use it as your window manager and use gnome and kde as you wish [17:41] ratinacage78: that thing i was thinking of it gtf [17:41] <|Sigma|> ratinacage78: pm [17:42] anyone here use Anki?

[18:00] SkyLeach: look at your auth log [18:00] Ricardo777: haha [18:00] SkyLeach someone is attacking you? :> Why not just take the server down for a bit?

[18:00] Ricardo777: everyone bombarded you with answers [18:00] Elda, it's from a single IP. I'll just block it. [18:00] Hi, I need help please! I have spent over 20 hours on forums and do not like asking for help so please know I do not come here looking for a quick fix but I am at the end of my wits in looking for what should be a simple answer My Background: Brand new to Linux with 20 years of computer experience...heavy windows user today that learned on basica then Dos however I am not a programmer and have no formal IT trainign. Configuration: Vista PC, [18:00] got it from the auth log. [18:00] blocked in 5 [18:01] SkyLeach: look in messages auth.log (firewall log ig you use ulog) etc [18:01] 4 is many answers? lol [18:01] RockmanFL, just get to the question part [18:01] How can I easily record the screen (or part of it) for some minutes and then upload it on a server (website) with password protection? (That actually makes two questions: recording and sharing) [18:01] RockmanFL, Ive used pcs for less time than you and Im sure if I can understand linux you can do it too :P [18:01] RockmanFL: your question got cut off :) [18:01] Jockeo: use xvidcap or recordmydesktop [18:01] ok I get Linux very well [18:01] erUSUL, ty [18:01] erUSUL: I will look those up. Thanks! [18:02] Just ask the question part, hehe [18:02] ty others that offered advice [18:02] ok [18:02] * SkyLeach still prefers syslog-ng ;-) [18:02] well, I'm going to get the latest ubuntu & put it on some black CD-R disk & see if it works this time. [18:02] Cannot see Samba shares on Vista or XP and Windows cannot see Ubuntu [18:02] Look, I'm going to lose a LOT of money if I can't get this problem fixed. [18:02] Doesn't anyone here know anything about GNOME? [18:02] Draconicus, I hear it's a desktop [18:02] Ricardo777: cool. burn it slow [18:02] especially cause Ubuntu is up-to-date [18:02] or more specifically, a window manager and library :-) [18:02] Spent hours in forums with no luck to fix [18:02] Vista/Windows cannot see the etc3 or whatever it is Ubuntu uses normally Id think you need a program to do that [18:03] !helpme | Draconicus [18:03] Draconicus: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [18:03] Linux should be able to see windows NTFS partitions though [18:03] Elda, ntfs-3g [18:03] burn it slow, oh yeah, maybe that was what I didn't do. But how slow though? [18:03] sorry...thought my background would help for a base for the answer [18:03] I know for a fact that patience leads to swallowed questions that never get answered. :| [18:03] Personally though What I did is created a 20 gig partition for Windows (windows 7) a 10 gig for Ubutu, 4 for swap space and the rest ~80 gigs as a shared space [18:04] Draconicus: what is the question anyway? [18:04] i don't see any question here [18:04] If you want to share space between both OSes just Id say make a shared partition that both can use [18:04] prince_jammys: same [18:05] hai [18:05] prince_jammys: How can I disable the automatic enabling of numlock when GNOME starts? [18:05] toggling* [18:05] arvind_khadri: u there? [18:05] Draconicus: i can't find any setting inside of gnome to control the state of numlock. I would first check my bios to make sure the numlock setting is set the way i want it. if no relief there, i would install numlockx and then make a script to turn off numlock and add it to my startup programs [18:05] anyone able to guide me trough on how to setup TKIP on wireless? === vigge_sWe1 is now known as igge_sWe [18:06] henchy: It's not the BIOS. I've been through all that. It's GNOME. [18:06] I want to use Ubuntu as a medial center and have the files shared so it can also be a server to other window PC's in the house. Cannot get any on the PC's to see Ubuntu box and vice versa === igge_sWe is now known as vigge_sWe [18:06] Draconicus: did you see the second half of my post [18:06] http://wiki.robotz.com/index.php/Numlock_State_&_Keyboard_Mapping <--- It's something like this, but I don't know what the "X startup file" for GNOME is. [18:06] all hard wired [18:06] !numlock [18:06] To enable Number Lock by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NumLock [18:06] Draconicus: do the opposite of that ^ [18:06] henchy: I tried adding numlockx to the startup. It only turns it on. [18:06] can anyone tell me how can i auto schedule a process after the completion of another process????? [18:07] anyone? [18:07] prince_jammys: I know, but I need the file. [18:07] The path. [18:07] Draconicus: numlockx [on|off] [18:07] ...Oh. [18:07] :P [18:07] Thanks. [18:07] hi my frend [18:07] :) [18:07] how slow? [18:07] how are you [18:08] indian_munnda, ya [18:08] web from bulgaria [18:08] heh [18:08] arvind_khadri: help me yar [18:08] arvind_khadri: can you tell me how can i auto schedule a process after the completion of another process????? [18:08] Hello [18:08] Ricardo777: how slow to burn you mean? as slow as you have patience for :) it reduces chances of a bad cd. [18:08] I can be patient...Can someone please confirm you saw my question...is it in que to be answered? [18:08] indian_munnda, Do you mean run one after one has finished? [18:09] triggerhapp: yes [18:09] indian_munnda, that would call for some scripting.... [18:09] After updating my 8.10 install my display can only be set to 800x600, how do I fix this? Monitor is capable of 1024x768. [18:09] indian_munnda, How are you currently running said first program [18:09] RockmanFL: that isn't how it works. If someone knows the answer, someone will answer you. If no one answers, try again in 15 minutes [18:09] RockmanFL: try again in a bit [18:09] understood [18:09] it's a common question, someone will know [18:09] alanbshepard70: try reinstalling your video drivers. (or they may need to be updated to a higher version) [18:09] As slow for best chances of it working. [18:10] triggerhapp: i m downloading 300 mb update of half life now and i want another download when it completes and then after completion of 2nd dwnld, i want auto shutdown [18:10] ooh errm, not one I'd know about, because of the downloads... [18:11] redvamp128: Ok.....how? [18:11] I have a gtk2 theme unpacked and am trying to install it [18:11] triggerhapp: what? [18:11] Draconicus: think i found it, run gconf-editor and then navigate to: /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/host-YOURHOSTNAME/0/numlock_on [18:11] how do i do this [18:11] indian_munnda, This would probably require a specialist program to download or some scripting [18:11] indian_munnda, look at the ETA and use the shutdown to switch after so much of time...give a relaxation of say 10 mins [18:11] alanbshepard70: What video card do you have? [18:11] henchy: wow, talk about obscure [18:12] prince_jammys: hehe, i went into gconf-editor and searched for numlock [18:12] hello all [18:12] xSlack, put the folder containing "gtk2" and "metacity" folders directly in your .themes folder [18:12] alanbshepard70: What is your video card? === fernando_ is now known as azendal [18:12] crunchbang, hi! [18:12] redvamp128: an old nvidia geforce mx440 [18:12] hello? Is anyone there? I need some help with my computer. [18:12] SiDi: where is that folder located === root is now known as Guest47587 [18:13] alanbshepard70: try this first before installing " sudo nvidia-settings" then try and set it there [18:13] ndubuntu, Ask [18:13] xSlack, it's an hidden folder, press Ctrl + H in order to see hidden folders [18:13] arvind_khadri: ok can u just tell me , how to schedule auto shutdown? [18:13] ^.^ we dont know what you need yet [18:13] guys, I managed to somehow break my sounds. I only hear some weird static-like noise when the log on sound is supposed to play or any other sound. [18:13] ndubuntu: ask away, all in one line, and provide details [18:13] ok, none of my updates will install [18:13] xSlack, you can also make an archive (.tar.gz) of your folder, and then drag it into the theme selection window to install it [18:13] Don't suppose anyone here could help me with something? [18:13] ndubuntu, Is it giving an error message? [18:14] yes [18:14] exit [18:14] Felix_Aurelius: ask away, all in one line, and provide details [18:14] is there a way to specify the default size of desktop icons? [18:14] for all 26 of them [18:14] Guys, when I go to connect to my wireless connection on my 8.10 system it nags me for (Unlock Keyring, Enter password for default keyring to unlock) I know that turned that setting on when I first set up Ubuntu, but I'll be dang if I can figure out how to turn it off. .LOL Can someone clue me in on shutting it off?
