[00:00] <_dbd_l12> KyMc1985: for PPC there used to be Yellow-Dog linux too iirc [00:00] why is hlm aways login is it a bot or human? [00:00] <_dbd_l12> KyMc1985: which off course is not ubuntu ;-) [00:00] !ask | jdmnynja [00:00] jdmnynja: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:00] Is there way to configure specific applications to have specific effects? I'd like to my text editor to roll down from the top, but all other applications to appear normally [00:00] Flamittor_, I am human [00:00] ubuntu [00:01] jdmnynja tell more about your problem, then someone might be able to help [00:01] How easy or hard is it to reduce the desktop's resolution from 1600 by 1200 with version 8.04? [00:01] has anyone seen a problem where the mouse ceases to register clicks in 8.10? cursor still moves when I move the mouse, just does not pass clicks through to the window below the mouse cursor. [00:01] I installed inkscape via apt-get and when I go to run it, it errors out complaining about libMagick++.so.10. Anyone had this issue in 8.10? [00:01] !pm>Flamittor_ [00:01] Flamittor_, please see my private message [00:01] devon: If I were you, I might try a different mouse. [00:01] what linux distro do you guys think is the best? [00:01] I am trying to install Ubuntu as my stand alone operating system, but everytime that I get to step 4 out of 7 at the partioning phase, it doesn't show up any harddrives to partition or work with. I want to completely destroy windows and run ubuntu. [00:02] <_dbd_l12> Flamittor_: what do you think ? In an ubuntu channel ? [00:02] kingsley: I have a mouse and a touchpad, clicks cease to register on either one, so I don't think it's hardware [00:02] Flamittor_: you don't suppose the answer will be rather biased perhaps in this channel? [00:02] _dbd_l12, I was gonna suggest windoze... ;) [00:02] Flamittor_ being an ubuntu channel i guess everyone will go for fedora :p [00:02] jdmnynja: the problem might be a sata controller driver or something. i had that problem once [00:02] kingsley: either system- preferences- screen resolution if using xorg- or for nvidia = sudo nvidia-settings - and if ati you would have to ask someone with an ati card [00:02] devon: I agree. [00:02] kingsley: it's probably this damn macbook hardware [00:02] why are you always on hlm [00:02] jdmnynja: is it a laptop? [00:03] no, it is a desktop. [00:03] Flamittor_, to support Ubuntu! [00:03] Flamittor_, are you a troll? [00:03] devon: Perhaps X's log file holds a useful diagnostic message. [00:03] petllama: im pretty sure he is [00:03] jdmnynja: the HDD works otherwise but ubuntu install cant find it? [00:03] does anybody here have experience setting up Raid 1 in 8.04? [00:03] kingsley: good idea, thanks. Not sure why I didn't look at that before [00:04] notwist, correct, the HDD works but Ubuntu installer cannot seem to detect it. [00:04] jdmnynja sata HD [00:04] jdmnynja: can you see the hdd in the bios? have you checked with a live cd and looked in the /dev/ folder+ [00:05] I'm not sure about these things, let me check. [00:05] I've been trying to setup Raid 1 in 8.04 and all the instructions on line say to select RAID instead of EXT3 during the Partitioning step of the installation but I can't find anywhere to select RAID, it isn't on the options of way so use the disk.... Does anybody know what I could be doing wrong? [00:05] is ubuntu native with .deb or .rpm files? I think its deb [00:05] stealth_tty1: deb [00:05] redvamp128: The computer is using nVidia's driver. Is my understanding correct then, that I must use "sudo nvidia-settings" to reduced the desktop's resolution, and that system-> preferences-> screen resolution will not work? [00:05] It's deb, yeah. [00:05] prince_jammys: thanks :) [00:05] stealth_tty1 deb [00:05] stealth_tty1: deb [00:05] lol, thanks guys [00:05] stealth_tty1, .deb (deb is for debian, rpm is red hat package manager) [00:05] Okay, notwist and nightrid3r, my HDD is IDE and yes I can see it in my boot window. [00:05] i disagree. it's deb [00:06] kingsley: With nvidia you have to use sudo nvidia-settings to make the changes permenant. [00:06] jdmnynja: can you see it in the /dev/ folder when you boot with a live cd? [00:06] im thinking about moving from ubuntu 8.10 to debian to try it out [00:06] jdmnynja: /dev/ holds all devices so you should look for a "hda" or something [00:06] yea, i have three hda's. [00:07] Hi I am having problems playing DVD on both VLC media player and Movie Player are there drivers I need to download and install for that? [00:07] jdmnynja: then thats probably three partitions on your harddisk, correct? [00:07] spirited, do you have libdvdcss? [00:07] !dvd > spirited [00:07] spirited, please see my private message [00:07] notwist: correct, i have a C: E: and F: drive. [00:07] kingsley: the other one is only if you are using the default xorg- but for nvidia = sudo nvidia-settings should bring up a window to then choose screen resolution. [00:07] Is there a wait to turn off a fan inside the motherboard in ubuntu? or control?? with commands/program [00:07] jdmnynja: so if you have nothing on those that you care about, i suggest you start up gparted and delete the partitions [00:07] redvamp128: Do you happen to know how reliable "sudo nvidia-settings" is for reducing screen resolution? [00:08] jeez, I thought I'd never get back on... [00:08] notwist: I tried loading gparted through the liveboot but it didn't do anything. only option it gave me was unmount. [00:08] I installed inkscape via apt-get and when I go to run it, it errors out complaining about libMagick++.so.10. Anyone had this issue in 8.10? [00:08] alpha7 its not recommended to turn off fans, your system might overheat [00:08] jdmnynja: you can unmount them, or rather, you have to probably, if youre gonna delete them [00:09] So how can I access the windows file system under wubi install of Ubuntu [00:09] Dai_: /host/ [00:09] neurobuntu: not sure how to tell if I have libdvdcss, this problems happens with new release dvds I buy. [00:09] notwist: wouldn't unmounting them just make the liveboot CD not recognize them? === stealth_tty1 is now known as kira\ [00:09] jdmnynja: no, you mount them because you want to use them, write/read to/from them [00:09] jdmnynja: if you unmount them they're still there [00:10] notwist: but will that enable the installer to format them and install ubuntu? [00:10] jdmnynja: so unmount them, go into gparted and delete everything so you get a "clean" drive, and then try to install [00:10] jdmnynja: thats my bet [00:10] notwist: all right, I am going to load it up and test it out. if I don't return soon it worked! thanks. === kira\ is now known as kira [00:10] kingsley: it is very reliable -- I have used it to change mine from time to time. It is what is used when you install nvidia-glx-XXX --(xxx=whatever version you have) [00:10] jdmnynja: im going to bed so good luck :) [00:11] notwist you're freakin' awesome. :D I'd hug you if I could. [00:11] notwist: thanks [00:11] I used the Synaptic Package Manager to install VLC: I assumed it would install eerything I needed. === kira is now known as kira\ [00:11] redvamp128, it's brandon_ and I got the thing working [00:11] thanks for the help [00:11] Dai_: haha, no problem [00:11] !mp3 | spirited [00:11] spirited: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [00:12] spirited: you need to add the medibuntu repository to get libdvdcss [00:12] bpat1434: Here is the link to your Libmajic Ubuntu -- Package Search Results -- libMagick++ [00:12] Now if someone would like to help by telling me how to install a sound card...

[00:14] prince: reading about libcss [00:14] redvamp128: Yeah I know...I used BCD and went through lengths to reinstall ubuntu under wubi. [00:14] spirited: you need to install libdvdcss2 , which you can do by adding the medibuntu repository [00:14] !medibuntu > spirited [00:14] spirited, please see my private message [00:15] bpat1434: so theoretically it should run -- but you said it was missing that particular package so I found it [00:15] how do I use the intel framebuffer intelfb [00:15] thank you I am getting all this and reading. [00:15] I tried adding video=intelfb to the grub options [00:15] redvamp128: would you know how to install a creative sound card to the system? [00:15] I just installed streamtuner. When I tune in to a shoutcast channel it pulls up audacious-->then nothing happens. Youtube works fine. Any ideas? [00:16] but i get "video mode must be programmed at boot time" [00:16] nightrid3r i mean other kind of fans [00:16] Dai_: hold on I think I still have the link to the page on troubleshooting [00:16] redvamp128, well, that's what inkscape is complaining about... just wondering where it is, because locate can't find it either. but aptitude says it's installed [00:16] nightrid3r i have at least 4 fans [00:16] Which keys let the user step through the various desktop resolutions specified in Xwindows' configuration file? [00:16] Dai_: lspci and let me know what card it says [00:16] bpat1434: you could try installing from the deb file it is possible you have a lower version installed [00:17] redvamp128, I have a newer version... [00:17] Creative Labs SB X-Fi redvamp128 [00:17] redvamp128, 7:6.3.7.9.dfsg1-2ubuntu3 [00:18] bpat1434: it expects the earlier version-- If this were windows I could get a version lie to fix that [00:18] Okay, this may be the wrong room, but I'm in Ubuntu wanting to link my Supybot I just installed to my Pidgin. What shoud I do?

[01:08] redvamp128, and rww: not the command line way but is there something with a GUI that lists it all? [01:08] is there a way for me to have both the grub menu and the windows 7 bootloader functional? [01:09] Night thanks Anacranom [01:09] yns88: why would you need two bootloaders ??? [01:09] does ubuntu have a native file sharing service? [01:09] or even linux has to use samba? [01:09] because windows 7 won't load without its bootloader [01:09] and ubuntu won't load without grub [01:09] wolter nfs === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [01:09] spirited: not really none that I have found- I personally like dmesg but the lshw needs to be ran as sudo though. [01:10] anyone else know how to stop amarok from auto starting? [01:10] nightrid3r, oh.. could you help me with samba? my sister can't get into my server/laptop [01:10] Crayboff: go into system->prefs->sessions [01:10] it might be in there [01:10] wolter can she see your share [01:11] redvamp128: it doesn't /need/ to be run with sudo. it just gives you more information that way. [01:11] yns88: does grub list windows 7 ?? [01:11] nightrid3r, if you mean my computer, yes, but when she double-clicks my computer on her network browser, she gets an error saying that she cannot access my computer? [01:11] i mean . [01:11] semanticpc: yes, but when I choose it windows gives an error saying it cannot find the boot menu [01:11] Hi there... I need a little postfix help.

There's also a gnome- package I always forget the name of [01:12] ne1 pleez im ready to slashup im having resolution problems after a reinstall of 8.10? [01:12] hi there [01:12] since when I installed grub it overwrote the windows menu [01:12] any speech recognition software for ubuntu/debian? [01:12] wolter set security to user that might help [01:12] Hi all.

[01:13] I have a question... for some time now, and I understand this is not an uncommon problem, I have been unable to play sound through more then one application on Ubuntu at a time. It seems like whenever an app 'grabs' the sound card by playing a sound, it will not relinguish it to other apps that need it, so for example if Pidgin wants sound, Firefox can't have it, and WINE can't have it. This is quite annoying, since it's r [01:13] eally hard to find the app to close to get back sound. Any suggestions? [01:14] hi freaks and geeks :-) [01:14] Hi. [01:14] I'm working on a new Intrepid install, i'm new to Ubuntu but have been using Slackware for the past 13 years... I managed to get mail working great with postfix, everything looked awesome, then decided to reboot just to make sure any changes I might have made survived the reboot... after I came back up no mail is sent to the server... It *looks* like port 25 is being blocked to the outside world, but I have a hard time believing my ISP [01:14] having problems with Azureus [01:14] wolter strange it should ask for user/pass [01:14] mysterious firewall === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [01:14] hello! is there is prorgram i can use to debug a script ? [01:14] semanticpc: it seems that many people in that thread have the same problem as me, thanks [01:14] sure my firewallbox AND router are forwarding [01:14] and iptables are A-okay.... [01:15] nightrid3r, well, i think it doesn't... let me see.. [01:15] wildbat, what kind of script? [01:15] nope [01:15] my computer says "vesamenu.c32: attempted DOS system call" when I try to boot from my ubuntu CD [01:15] yikes.. gonna try to find a postfix specific forum... [01:15] can anyone help please [01:15] on 7.04 there was system->preference->hardware info now on 8.04 i cant find it where is it ???? [01:15] nightrid3r, could it be the "encrypt passwords" option? [01:16] wolter check the samba logs see if you find anything in there [01:16] where does gnome-display properties save its settings? [01:16] wolter that has to be on for Win98 and higher [01:16] can any one tell me how to find the .profile or .login file for my tcsh [01:16] yns88: it's not there [01:16] semanticpc, ctrl+h [01:17] semanticpc, it's at /home/$USER/.profile [01:17] semanticpc, or simply. ~/.profile [01:17] yea but i dont find it there [01:17] how does one zip a directory in cli? [01:17] semanticpc, you can create one then - it's not always present [01:17] nightrid3r, ok, which are the samba logs? also, i saw there is a --no-pass option on smbclient --help. I don't know how to set it though [01:17] Crayboff: check /usr/share/gnome/autostart/ and /usr/share/autostart/ [01:18] "vesamenu.c32: attempted DOS system call" when i boot from the CD can anyone help me please? [01:18] wolter lemme check [01:18] TimothyA2, unzip a .zip file you mean? [01:18] TimothyA2, tar cvzf myarchive.tar.gz mydirectory [01:18] Crayboff: depending on your IDE, the programs that were running when you shut down will start again on startup [01:18] nevermind, had the order wrong [01:18] hi everyone, BEAGLE, how do i make it list as many files as i want so i dont have to click on next button all the time? [01:18] yns88: i quit it before shutdown [01:18] I don't know then [01:19] unop: do you know any sample setting for VI or VIM ??

[01:19] settings* [01:19] wolter /var/log/samba/*.log [01:19] Dillizar: it's in system->administration [01:19] hi all, are there any people here that create debs? I am trying to figure out how to add to a deb, the ability to ask the end user if a specific file should be overwritten by the package maintaners version or to leave the current version. Does anyone know how to do this? [01:19] yns88, nope not there [01:20] TimothyA2: zip -r zipname /directory/path/to/recursively/zip [01:20] semanticpc, plenty out there. http://tinyurl.com/d5z4kg [01:20] unop, just a shell script [01:20] oh hardware info, not drivers, sorry [01:20] anyone with expierence using Azureus [01:20] :) [01:20] Dillizar: what are you trying to look up? [01:20] wildbat, if it's a bash script. bash -x /path/to/file. if it's a POSIX shell script. sh -x /path/to/file [01:21] nightrid3r, well, besides not having *.log files, but log.* files instead, there are like a million and I don't know what would be an abnormality [01:21] evon: it appears to be that the livecd can't boot with your video (though only found that answer from a fedora forum) but if you are trying to install there is a command line option to install. [01:21] yns88, there was a window i can find all the graphic cards drivers just i want to check smt [01:21] wildbat, it depend on the type of script. head -n 1 /path/to/file # should give you an indication. [01:21] Shouldn't xubuntu be using less RAM then ubuntu? [01:21] if I use the 'guided, use entire disk' option with the gui installer on a disk, how come grub is installed on a different drive (breaking my ich9 raid boot)? and how do I stop this? [01:21] s/then/than [01:21] the graphics cards drivers is in system->administration->hardware drivers [01:21] wolter do you have a linux account for every user in samba [01:22] nightrid3r, i have just one account [01:22] anyone have any experience with USB devices in virtualbox? I installed it but under devices, they're all greyed out [01:22] redvamp128: it did not give me an option to use command line. that same message just keeps repeating over and over again [01:22] i need help with bitpim, anyone? [01:22] hajmola, usb does not work in the ose edition of virtual box [01:23] velko, i dont' have the OSE version installed [01:23] hajmola, have you installed the guest additions? [01:23] velko, no... do I need to? [01:24] evon: Though they say download the alternate cd - burn it then boot with that and type cli - just make sure you are connected to the internet (it downloads the ubuntu files from the web) but will bypass the error you are getting. [01:24] it did not give me an option to use command line. that same message [01:24] hajmola, boot your guest os and don't maximize it's window. in the menu you'll find an entry "install guest additions [01:24] ah, ok [01:24] jrib: i checked them, the only things i found in /usr/share/autostart/ was kab2kabc, Tracker, Wicd Network Manager Tray [01:24] jrib: there is nothing about sessions which I could find [01:24] evon: In 2 of the fedora forums -- they say that error is that the live cd can't configure your video card to boot itself. === nick_ is now known as Mcbane32 [01:25] velko, after I install guest additions, any other tricks? [01:25] redvamp128: so when it gives me that message then type CLI? [01:25] any speech recognition software for ubuntu/debian? [01:25] hajmola, none that i know of :-) [01:25] evon: you have to download the alternate cd [01:25] !alternate cd [01:25] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [01:25] velko, thanks i'll try it out [01:25] jrib: and it's not in /urs/share/gnome/autostart [01:25] oh i c [01:25] Crayboff: create a new user. Does amarok still start automatically? [01:26] jrib, i have another user, i'll test it, brb [01:26] redvamp128: I will try it out [01:26] wolter i'm installing samba to see what might be the problem [01:27] velko, they're still greyed out [01:27] how do I set ttyusb0 and give it a com port number? [01:27] hajmola, sorry, i can't help you with more ideas [01:27] velko, thanks anywyas [01:28] I have a usb to serial converter that is set on /dev/ttyusb0 and I need to make recognized as a com port... How can I do this? [01:29] intrepid is reading my 360 controller as a mouse [01:29] does the 8.10 desktop installer allow me to choose where to install grub? [01:29] randommm, no [01:30] nickrud: it doesn't? Isn't there "advanced settings" at the end or something similar? [01:30] nightrid3r, thanks so much [01:30] i only tried the "guided use entire disk" option and it didn't was just checking I didn't have the option if I partioned manually [01:30] hi i want to install ubuntu on a partion on my sony viao laptop using the text based installer anyting I need to do before I start === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [01:31] I should use the alternative cd if I want this option? [01:31] jrib, I don't remember seeing it; if it does it's a new thing for me. I probably need to start playing with 9.04. I haven't used broken stuff enough recently (only way I learn) [01:31] (or disconnect my raid :) [01:31] and how do I noe if I can use the 64bit [01:31] how do i enable wifi-radar for Xfce? [01:31] what do I do to get later repos instead of stable/tested ones? [01:31] amarok is 1.4 but latest stable is 2.0.1.1 [01:31] could someone please point me to a site were I could get old ATI drivers for linux [01:32] wolter ok i seem to have the same problem here, can see computer but no shares show up [01:33] nightrid3r, you mean, you can enter the computer from the network browser? [01:33] wolter yes [01:33] nightrid3r, oh, well.. i can't even enter the computer. [01:34] could you send me your /etc/samba/smb.conf ? [01:34] wolter its the standard one when you install samba [01:35] nightrid3r, yeah but, i don't know what could i have changed in mine... if i deleted the smb.conf, would samba create another one? [01:35] wolter no it wont [01:35] oh [01:35] jrib, no it doesn't when I switch to a different user [01:36] can anyone help me install wifi radar on Xubuntu [01:36] Crayboff: then start renaming folders (start with ~/.gnome) and see what happens [01:36] wolter you can find a copy of the original in /usr/share/samba [01:36] jrib, ummm what? [01:36] how do I get the latest version of amarok (2.0.1.1) without manually compiling the file myself? the repos have 1.4 [01:37] ugh, I keep getting dc'd..-.-; [01:37] Crayboff: we don't know where the setting is. So rename a folder that might contain the setting and log out and back in. If amarok doesn't start up, then you've narrowed down your search to that folder. Understand? [01:37] jrib: yes, but wouldn't doing this potentially screw something up? [01:38] Crayboff: no, you'd rename it back after you test... [01:38] port problems with Azureus under Ubuntu 8.10 anyone? [01:38] maybe a link [01:38] jrib, i'd just figure that some things needed to start on start up and them not starting up would screw up the comp [01:38] I've done all the forwarding and opening of iptables [01:38] still it says firewalled [01:38] >:O [01:39] Crayboff: your user starts with an empty home basically [01:39] I have been working on it for HOURS [01:39] how do I get the latest version of amarok (2.0.1.1) without manually compiling the file myself? the repos have 1.4 [01:39] jrib, ah, so I should just choose random folders and rename them? [01:39] Crayboff: not random, choose likely culprits [01:40] anybody [01:40] When I run wireshark(as root), I get a bunch of References to "BelkinIn_4d" One of my neighbors has a wireless access point named Belkin something or other [01:40] Hola, ¿alguien puede ayudarme con un problema de configuración de compiz? [01:40] like /usr/share/gnome/autostart/? [01:40] jrib^ [01:40] Is my system trying to connect to that network? could that be why my internet on my laptop is so slow?

[01:45] If I'm doing a script for running at login and only want affected user to be able to execute it, should I change its group to user's group (1000) and have executability for root and group only? [01:46] jrib: i thought i did, apparently not [01:46] Crayboff: ok. Do you understand what ~ is? [01:46] Crayboff: in terminal it would be like " cd ~; mv .gnome .gnomeold " you know [01:46] ah [01:46] i think i get it [01:46] Crayboff: try going to terminal, type " cd ~ " and press tab. you'll see what jrib meant [01:47] scream -> yes you may [01:47] part ii how would i find a file anyfile if i knew it had the string *paypal.com* [01:47] scream: sure.. after boot go to synaptic and search for kernel you'll see the ones that have a lower number are the one(s) that you want to uninstall.. tag them and hit apply.. the listings in grub will automatically be removed. === rachel is now known as Guest4918 === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [01:47] ok [01:47] SmackPotat: is that in the filename?

[01:59] n8tuserf-> how do i do that? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [01:59] i've set up smb.conf but i cannot find way for browse something [01:59] Crayboff: so what have you tried so far? although i really don't recommend renaming gnome for that [01:59] duxbarak-> post your /etc/boot/menu.lst and /etc/boot/device.map [01:59] syockit, i haven't tried anything yet [02:00] n8tuserf-> here? or in pastebin? === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [02:00] duxbarak-> in pastebin [02:00] syockit: thanks :) [02:00] Crayboff: ~/.gnome = /home/boff/.gnome/ [02:00] ah ok [02:00] assuming boff is your username [02:00] ya [02:01] Crayboff: do you have session save enabled? [02:01] and you should be able to just log out and log back in; would be quicker than restarting =/ [02:01] so I should be naming files such as "core.971, core.4011", etc. as ".gnome"? [02:01] syockit, no plus i always quit the app [02:01] what is this? (:1757): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_paint_box: assertion `style->depth == gdk_drawable_get_depth (window)' failed [02:02] hey [02:02] n8tuserf-> um, i'm kinda new to irc, how do i do that?

O_o [02:06] How do you do system updates in Ubuntu?

[02:09] How do you install Java JRE on ubuntu? [02:09] daedra_: then start wicd-client or something [02:09] i guess /etc/default/syslogd should do it [02:09] Crayboff: yes it's hidden [02:09] n8tuserf-> yeah, there is no file named that [02:09] syockit: what is invoke? === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [02:10] Crayboff: in terminal, you use ' ls -a ' to view hidden files as well. in file browser, pressing ctrl-h should toggle it [02:10] syockit: I don't seem to have it [02:10] daedra_: invoke-rc.d runs the script inside /etc/init.d/ [02:10] ah [02:10] daedra_: invoke-rc.d === daedra_ is now known as daedra [02:11] how do i fix a host name problem: sudo: unable to resolve host itlearning localhost /etc/init.d/hostname.sh start [02:11] ServerName localhost [02:11] How do you install Java JRE on ubuntu?

[02:23] billybigrigger: basically my hd has an empty table but all the data should still be there right ?

The people in Pidgin sent me to supybot, and the people in supybot ignored me [02:24] okay guys basically i have a HD with no partition table but all my data, is there any way i can get it back [02:24] jspMyth, well, yes...data should still be there as long as the table wasnt saved/written [02:24] billybigrigger: i accidentally deleted the table and it saved too [02:24] jrib: should I? syockit? should I? [02:24] jspMyth: testdisk (but I must go now) [02:24] If someone answered, then I missed it. So I will ask again, How do you do system updates in Ubuntu?

[02:25] jspMyth: if you can recreate the partition table exacty like it was, it will work [02:25] jspMyth, i would restart, but someone else here might have a solution [02:25] kleanchap: click on the red triangle in the notification area [02:25] kleanchap sudo apt-get update [02:25] kleanchap, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [02:25] yoyoned2: what about the MFT wouldnt that be all messed up ? [02:25] !apt > kleanchap [02:25] kleanchap, please see my private message [02:25] jspMyth, hard to say...im not at your computer to see how far you went so...either restart or keep asking for advice here [02:25] jrib, alright, so what I should do is 1) rename the .bnome2 to .gnome2 2) do the thing with .gnome 3) do it with .gconf ?? [02:25] MFT? [02:25] hmm, what is /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -br -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7 it seems to eat up a lot of my cpu running at 50% sometimes [02:26] kleanchap, my answer was best ignore the others :P [02:26] Crayboff: sure. Or do more. We're kind of shooting in the dark here [02:26] billybigrigger: yeah i think i will try restart and see whats the deal, i have the old table information saved [02:26] Crayboff: maybe grep -R amarok ~/.* is smarter [02:26] jrib: do that in the terminal? [02:26] jspMyth, you on 2 computers? or you irc'ing on the computer that you fubar'd? [02:27] billybigrigger: only one laptop, i am IRCing off ubuntu live cd [02:27] Crayboff: sure, I have to go now though [02:27] ahh [02:27] jrib: what do i do if i find the file? [02:27] Crayboff: if you want to do that you must not be logged in or else your old .gnome will be overwritten [02:28] Crayboff: depends on file [02:28] jrib: should I be doing the grep thing with sudo? [02:28] Crayboff: shouldn't be needed [02:28] jrib: and how long would it take? [02:28] is there a way I can skip the gdm login screen and automatically login as me? [02:28] jspMyth: Not sure how good the tools are-- but www.ultimatebootcd.com has some tools for data recovery on the cd. [02:29] luckyone: system > administration > login window [02:29] lycidas: look at the security tab [02:29] Pricey: if I can't get there, how do I do it from the shell? [02:29] jspMyth, well come back and let us know :P [02:30] how can I find information on a process running in htop [02:30] Does anyone know how to get Supybot to function as a Pidgin addon? The people in Pidgin sent me to supybot, and the people in supybot ignored me [02:31] jrib: before you leave, what would grep -R amarok ~/.* tell me? [02:31] KemrinH: pidgin doesn't have addons. supybot connects directly to irc, not through another program. [02:32] ?DCC SEND "ff???f?" 0 0 0 [02:32] billybigrigger: it cant boot anymore, says no bootable devices found [02:33] jspMyth, hmmm fdisk might be able to fix the mbr [02:33] nuke it from orbit.. it's you're only hope. [02:33] jspMyth, fdisk /mbr [02:33] your* [02:33] Hello everyone! Can anyone help me with something? [02:33] if not specific to ubuntu, you can try asking [02:33] no guarantees [02:33] Pricey Right, but I was hoping there was a way to have it connect to Pidgin and interact with anyone who messages. If that's not possible, do you know of any Pidgin based bots? [02:34] billybigrigger: it says unable to open /mbr [02:34] Taylor, please do not ask to ask a question ^_^ === qwerty is now known as Guest22401 [02:34] jspMyth, fixmbr? [02:34] KemrinH: you want a bot to connect to a network like aim? [02:34] jspMyth, sorry havent had to do this in a few years, cant remember the command [02:34] billy that wont work [02:35] Okay. thanks. Well I have an _OLD_ PC that had windows 98 on it. I wiped that. So now I just have a PC lying around. I would like to install ubuntu, howerver; I cant put from CD(no cd BIOS support) Is there some type of 'boot disk' I can use? [02:35] you need to specify a partition where u fix the boot record [02:35] jspMyth, your positive fdisk /mbr doesnt work? [02:35] yeah [02:35] i think ill just write a new table with the old settings === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [02:35] Pricey Basically I want a bot that doesn't connect to any network, but just deals with the messages Pidgin gets, independent of network [02:36] jspMyth, [02:36] jrib: ok it finished, what do i do with this? [02:36] jspMyth, http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/01/15/how-to-fix-your-windows-mbr-with-an-ubuntu-livecd/ [02:36] KemrinH: probably against their ToS. I'd check that out first. [02:36] I did ls -l on a directory and found some files were having this permission: -rw-------@ [02:36] jspMyth, fix your mbr with your live cd [02:36] I stated a question in #xubuntu but didn't receive much input so I repeat it in here. Hopefully some experts in here can help me with it... [02:36] I did ls -l on a directory and found some files were having this permission: -rw-------@, why is there a @ in the end, how do I remove it? [02:36] "A general question about "sysv-rc-conf". It's more or less for usage with Red Hat systems but also widely used on Debian/Ubuntu. What do you think about it (also in comparison with BUM and the default XFCE service control)?" [02:36] Pricey But one that works on AIM and YAHOO would do if oyu know of one... Against who's terms of service? [02:36] Pricey Pidgins? [02:36] my system starts to act really strange. it suddenly freezes, and won't accept any user input anymore! only thing i can do is hit the powerswitch. [02:36] jspMyth, its a short simple tutorial by the looks of it, 3 or 4 commands maybe [02:36] KemrinH: I'd guess connecting automated bot things could easily be against yahoo or aim's ToS. [02:37] Aquina: umm can you bring those to offtopic [02:37] billybigrigger: that wont work unless i create partition [02:38] Pricey Maybe... not sure. I don't really care though considering the volume of bots they already have swarming their networks harassing people. I just want something to respond when people message me but I'm away, in a way slightly more in depth than an Autoreply [02:38] now, which logs should i check? under /var/log/messages ? or which will be the one that could help me? and what should i grep for? already grepped for 'error' but nothing really found under any logfile [02:38] billybigrigger: currently the disk has no partition table, it looks as if it has 100gb of free space [02:38] jspMyth, ahh [02:38] I've had this problem for a version of ubuntu or two but I've just sort of ignored it.

[03:23] grkblood13: vnc works fine.. and the other will be able to watch.. windows typically had RDP installed already and you just hook to it. [03:23] syockit: would you like me to do it again? [03:23] spideyman: I tried to install an ATI card, but gave up and am trying to go back to my original "Generic Driver". But I didn't back it up, and now I think I'm screwed.

I tunnel VNC properly over SSH :) [03:27] syockit: so i just ran grep -R amarok ~/.* -i and will copy paste it in if i can [03:27] grkblood13: If they are in front of their computer when you use a program like VNC or FreeNX or RDP or whatever, they will see you moving the mouse.

[03:28] sebsebseb: i don't think he's worried about security [03:28] PhillipA: if i run bootsect.exe -fixmbr in wine do you think that will work ?

Last week I deleted the win partition and I have also changed the hdd boot order (firstly I was booting with an IDE HDD and now with a SATA HDD). The problem is grub disappeared, and when I use the live cd, every option (except the mem test) leads to the busybox command line. How can I fix this situation? [03:57] redvamp128, thanks. i'll give this a try. [03:57] Crayboff: sadly no [03:57] Troy1: It basically -- uses the boot.ini to point to the wingrub to then load linux -- keeping your mbr intact.

[03:59] syockit: didn't happen when i did it before [04:00] syockit: well i didn't do tail before [04:00] cause my OS plays sounds but i can't configure amsn to output to my /dev/audio or /dev/dsp [04:00] !fstab [04:00] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [04:00] Crayboff: wait, before-> means grep finished completely? [04:00] syockit: yes [04:00] ubottu: you talkin to me? [04:00] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:00] Crayboff: what is grep doing now? [04:00] evon: it is a bot, automated [04:01] ok loks like i have some reading to do [04:01] ? what kind of bot is that? [04:01] Scunizi.. Ok! I'm going to try it now. [04:01] evon, aren't partitions mounted automatically by default? [04:01] it reads what we write and responds? [04:01] mine are. [04:01] wil wubi work for installing to a second HD [04:01] Borgir: do you know how.. correctly? [04:01] appears to be an easier method for newbie's like me [04:01] syockit: now it's hanging out at "grep: /home/boff/../boff/.mozilla/firefox/j4d3th5q.default/lock: no such directory" got one thing farther than it was before, i think [04:01] evon: it reads certain commands started with the exclamation mark, ! . [04:02] Troy1: Using that wingrub will make the mbr still be windows based. [04:02] Pengul: they are not mounted until i try to access it with nautilus but I want it to mount on boot [04:02] can someone tell me where i set file associations? [04:02] underdog7: find the file you want to set-- then right click choose properties then open with tab choose the program. [04:02] my freind has a dual boot without Grub [04:02] how did he do it [04:02] syockit: ya it's one thing after it paused at before [04:03] Troy1, he probably used Wubi [04:03] Crayboff: as you can see, grep tries to output any line in a file that contains the word we give. but for non-text files, one line could be veeeeeeery long [04:03] can anyone tell me how to get ubuntu to mount partitions automatically? For example my windows partitions? [04:03] Troy either that or he used wingrub. [04:03] Crayboff: that's why I think this won't work [04:03] how do i access shared files on my windows pc from ubuntu? I've tried smb:///192.168.1.100 [04:03] ah [04:03] and it's not working [04:03] evon: install and run ntfs-config [04:03] underdog7 you mean links? [04:03] redvamp128, but i don't want to have to go through that process. i want it automatic association. [04:03] wingrub kinda sound like grub [04:03] but it's ok [04:03] syockit: well it just did work before, so that's why i'm confused [04:03] evon fstab [04:03] hello.. [04:03] NFischer, sorry, i'm sure i know what you mean [04:03] thanks again redvamp your a helpful [04:03] Troy1: basically it is but runs on windows parition-- [04:04] I got some error while using ipmitool [04:04] evon sudo gedit etc/fstab/ [04:04] please help me === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [04:04] * Crayboff is starting to hate tail [04:04] Crayboff: probably the -i flag makes it run slower, or results in more results [04:04] underdog what do you want to do? [04:04] how do I end an invisible process? [04:04] Troy1: but unlike standard grub it does not overwrite the mbr-- basically it uses the boot.ini file to link to the windgrub to then boot your linux [04:04] ah, syockit would you like me to continue tail and grep? [04:04] Crayboff: then can you ctrl-c the grep and repeat without i. that is: grep -R instead of grep -iR [04:04] Scunizi.. I will look for "quiet splash" in the line that appears when pressing F6. Then delete those 2 words? [04:04] NFischer: i don't know how to edit fstab. that file is confusing to me [04:04] Troy1: but you have to be in windows to configure it /edit the boot.ini [04:05] Borgir: yes [04:05] Ok.. brb [04:05] evon you have to do some work on your own... http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html [04:05] honestly i am feel i will screw that wingrub process up [04:05] evon please try gogole first [04:05] playing with HD s scary for me [04:05] i just speant all last night getting my windows all back to normal [04:05] NFischer, i would like to associate a certain program with a certain type of file, such that i don't have to right click on the file and choose what program i want -- i want it automatic. [04:06] hlm, "invisible"? [04:06] even though i do like linux [04:06] how do i get my computer (192.168.1.xxx) recognized as http://wolter-laptop on any network i connect to? [04:06] Troy1: it works for me, well i used wubi to install [04:06] NFischer: i did otherwise I would not be here. I don't understand how to input lines into the fstab. I'm also trying to mount another linux partion as well. not just windows. I don't want to have to go through nautilus everytime i want something mounted [04:06] underdog, right click the file, hit properties, then hit 'open with' and hit close. it will associate with that program from then on. [04:06] RussM, it was started in a terminal, its no in sysmon and I closed the terminal and its still running [04:06] underdog7 ah i see... right clock > properties > open with [04:06] yeah wubi looks like an easier method for newbie like me [04:07] hlm, If you open another terminal, and type "ps -elf", do you see it there? [04:07] all the chain load and map and Hd) stuff gets confusing for me [04:07] Troy1: it is,seeing how i'm a newbie myself, but it's caused some problems for me [04:07] ahh, thanks NFischer. that's actually what redvamp128 was telling me. thanks to you both. much appreciated. [04:07] aaa, syockit you said i can't close tail, right? [04:08] Crayboff: yes you can [04:08] oh how did wubi fail for you [04:08] Crayboff: ctrl-c it [04:08] RussM, I cant decipher what that is saying [04:08] the only downside to Wubi is the inability to hibernate [04:08] syockit: umm i closed it before you said ctrl-c it [04:08] Guys i borked my grub install on my ubuntu partion when i installed fedora 10 to another partion, is there a way to fix it from the live install? [04:08] Crayboff: okay then [04:08] hlm, What process is it? It's possible it started some other process, so it is showing up under a different name. === NeT_DeMoN_ is now known as NeT_DeMoN [04:08] wubi I woudn't recommend it [04:08] You want to restore grub, illumin8? [04:08] wubit is for noobs that can't partition [04:09] partitions are the best [04:09] Hibernate, meaning just during installion process ? [04:09] I want to have grub be my primary bootloader yes [04:09] illumin8: does fedora use grub? or lilo? [04:09] not sure what they meant by that ? [04:09] illumin8: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [04:09] RussM, will you promise to continue to help me? [04:09] danbhfive: hardly any distros use lilo [04:09] danbhfive: by default [04:09] so Grub [04:09] yeah [04:09] syockit: i got back like 30% of my cpu by closing it :) [04:09] Troy1, hibernate is a feature that saves your ram to your hard drive, so when you reboot your desktop is exactly as you'd left it [04:09] sebsebseb: hehe, ok [04:09] RussM, its metasploit framework web UI [04:10] and Fedora Core 2 and 4 were my first Linux distros, and yes they used Grub [04:10] when you delete a partition where does the disk space go to [04:10] madagascar27, unallocated [04:10] wolter: ? [04:10] hlm, Well, I've never run metasploit, so unfortunately that doesn't give me any insight. [04:10] illumin8: is it that ubuntu is just not listed in the grub menu? [04:10] Crayboff: have you restarted the grep? [04:10] madagascar27: unassigned and unavailable until you reassign it [04:10] madagascar27: if you just delete a partition it is really still there, untill being overwritten, it's just not in the partition table [04:10] to wherever it was, but it has nothing, nor is it formatted. [04:10] The disk space is cleared, madagascar27, e.g., 'unallocated' [04:10] not quite sre what you meant by that [04:11] hibernate is a feature that saves your ram to your hard drive, so when you reboot your desktop is exactly as you'd left it [04:11] how can i take that parition and add the space to an existing spot [04:11] NICEE [04:11] wolter: oh it's you [04:11] syockit: didn't know you wanted me to restart it [04:11] swap space ? [04:11] Troy1, if your were running a program or watching a video, you could reboot and the program would still be running. [04:11] syockit: i'll do it, you want it without the -i, right? [04:11] Im sorry if im not responding to your messages, they appear bright yellow to me so very hard to read. What happend was i have 7 Oses installed on the machine, recently i put fedora 10 in and it failed to load the other Oses on boot, so I would prefer to use Ubuntu's since its most reliable [04:11] http://.local [04:11] wolter: the one from my MSN? [04:11] hey sebsebseb [04:11] yeah.. [04:11] haha [04:11] wolter: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:11] how can i get amsn on ubuntu [04:11] don't use wubi [04:12] I did what that post said, so hopefully that will resolve it. Brb :) [04:12] ????? [04:12] idris: I already told you the command way [04:12] hi all [04:12] sebsebseb, i setup ftp server and everyone on network can access it by entering ftp://wolter-laptop.local/ =DD [04:12] my windows does not have the option [04:12] illumin8: you need to learn how to use vmware or virtual box.. much easier to install and delete an OS for testing playing etc [04:12] shut up, FloodBot2 [04:12] Crayboff: yes please [04:12] idris: you should read up about Ubuntu [04:12] how can i take that parition and add the space to an existing spot [04:12] hlm, I see from wiki that metasploit framework is a ruby app... you might try killing all ruby stuff... [04:12] soeant appear like anything imprtant to me [04:12] Troy1, no, windows does not have that option. [04:12] alright, started it, syockit [04:12] sebsebseb, i had to do nothing =D that's the greatest thing.. [04:12] idris: http://www.ubuntuguide.org [04:12] i can live without that [04:12] please response me any one who doing application with lighttpd [04:13] idris: sudo apt-get install amsn [04:13] wolter: yep Ubuntu is good for setting up servers [04:13] Madagascar27, you can resize partitions with gparted [04:13] RussM, what should I look for in system monitor? [04:13] redvamp128: I already told him, but he can't seem to use the terminal even [04:13] hlm, try "ps -elf | grep ruby" and see if you get back anything. [04:13] sebsebseb, good? AWESOME [04:13] pengul: where do i find gparted [04:13] thats way better than samba, for file sharing.. [04:13] samba is dead for me... [04:13] redvamp128: even told him he has to press enter and put in his Ubuntu password after running the command [04:13] ftp should be the universal way of sharing [04:14] RussM, I found it now, thankyou [04:14] wolter: oh you can help someone [04:14] madagascar27, system > administration > partition editor [04:14] and I now understand how to ready it [04:14] sebesebseb: I think I even told them to look in the synaptic package manger [04:14] the only bad thing is that you cannot limit whether its read-only or read-n-write [04:14] RussM, how do I kill one of these processes? [04:14] pengul: thanks [04:14] but i need to use read and write, so even better [04:14] ! [04:14] Resizing partitions takes a long time. [04:14] !kill [04:14] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [04:14] Whoever sent me the link to restore grub on my ubuntu partion thank you, i couldnt read your name from the live cd [04:15] hlm, the first number in the ps output line should be the pid, you can "kill -9 thatnumber" [04:15] hlm, or, if you don't have any other ruby stuff running, try pkill ruby [04:15] hlm: I know the simple way to kill it-- just ctl-alt-backspace then log back in and the process should be stopped [04:15] illumin8, that was me. you're welcome. [04:15] redvamp128, no thanks, I dont want to restore all my running apps [04:15] One final question, Since i installed other oses on the system after the install of ubuntu, how can i update ubuntus grub so it registers those new installs? [04:15] Pengu1, Thank you very much :) [04:15] RussM, would it work if I did a pkill $app? [04:16] quit [04:16] hi, about "back in time", when the back up is made, after to retrive the file, do i just have to re-copy from where there saved ?? [04:16] They aren't there automatically, illumin8? Listed under 'other os's'? [04:16] hi again please connect with me some one who working with lighttpd web server [04:16] hlm, It should, pkill just runs a match against the process list. Be careful of unexpected matches, though. [04:17] Pengu1, no, im missing an install of fedora and one other [04:17] RussM, its a pretty hard match, itll be 'msf' [04:17] RussM, I tried kill -9 PID and it didnt kill it [04:17] I'm not sure how to edit the file that detects them, I'm not much of an advanced user myself. [04:18] hlm, msf should be pretty unique, try pkill -9 msf [04:18] what's win32codecs called? i can't find it in the package manager [04:18] how can I reinstall firefox? [04:18] RussM, I dont think that command is being found... its instantly returning me [04:18] im on the ubuntu alt installer and up to the partion part and it has been over 10 mins and the loadbar did not move past 0% [04:19] Pengu1, Currently i have Ubuntu, crunchbang (8.10), fedora, debian 5.0, and one other i cant remember.. all installed on seperate partions but using the same swap. 2 of them were installed post ubuntu 8.04 install.

[04:22] madagascar27: I would strongly suggest getting the disk diagnostic for that model hard drive [04:22] Angelus_Delapsus: unfortunately plama isn't highly reliable [04:22] Honestly, on any other occassion I would be able to riddle that info off for you. But for some reason, I can't remember [04:22] Quontrex_Ashimi: how [04:23] kc8pxy, it'd help if we knew what app it was. [04:23] you think? what do you suggest I do?

[04:24] Harp: Installed the latest version from kubuntu source... Litterally clicked the "Latest Version" download. :) And no, nothing else is on it. I uninstalled windows when I installed Linux (An action I took extreme pride in doing, btw) [04:24] syockit: i'll start grep again [04:24] g [04:24] Pengu1: it's a chat.. let me get the applet name. [04:24] Crayboff: sounds like its flocked [04:24] Crayboff: but really I don't think you can find the root cause with grep [04:24] :( [04:24] hmm...well i just formatted this drivewhich previously had xp on it again with no issues [04:24] Crayboff: it's unfeasible, as it goes through binary (non-text) files as well [04:25] looter, I'm not sure why ubuntu would make a sound and xp wouldn't.

It was one of the main reasons I decided to switch to Kubuntu. [04:26] and ALWAYS put your /home on a seperate partition [04:26] That and it just runs better. [04:26] Quontrex_Ashimi: my entire computer and any electronic thing i come in contact with finds a way to flock itself [04:26] Crayboff: why don't you just find files with filename containing amarok instead? do this: find ~ | grep -i amarok [04:26] Crayboff: I know the feeling [04:26] alright, i'll try, syockit [04:26] Crayboff: sorry, repeat that with " > result.file" added [04:26] syockit: would running "locate amarok" be faster? [04:26] Syo isn't that normally ~/ , or somewhere in ther? [04:27] hlm, back. any luck? [04:27] jbuncher: yeah forgot locate [04:27] Crayboff: use locate instead [04:27] RussM, no, the command kill isnt found and no luck with pkill [04:27] could use find / -name amarok [04:27] syockit: just making sure my search habits aren't bad :) [04:27] frostwire wont close after upgrade [04:27] Angelus_Delapsus: if you installed kubuntu, the possiblity is you only have kde not gnome, but when you restart your system you will see option of starting kde or gnome, if not, you;'ll have to install gnome [04:27] hlm, can you pastebin the output of "ps -elf | grep ruby"? [04:27] make up your mind, syockit, "locate ~ | grep -i amarok > result.file " ? [04:28] Harpreet: Can I do that when my GUI isn't even starting? [04:28] Crayboff: locate amarok | pastebinit [04:28] or do it through "sudo apt-get install"? [04:28] syockit: is it sudo? [04:28] redvamp128: thanks, nice tip. i found something i thought was it, but it wasn't. i needed ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:28] RussM, its two lines... want me to send via pm? [04:28] Crayboff: no [04:28] spideyman: you have to uninstall and reinstall the later version - I saw that one about a week ago-- from someone who upgraded from hardy to intrepid (that fixed her issue) [04:28] alright, i put it in, lets see what happens [04:28] syockit: http://pastebin.com/f62ea2c4b [04:29] jbuncher: it's just that I do not trust my system has up to date updatedb, that's why i keep forgetting locate [04:29] 1/2 an hr and no progress on the partition what can i do to stop it, alt instaler ubuntu 8.10 [04:29] redvamp128 thanx [04:29] kyledr: here is another guide to installing w32 How to Install win32 codec - Ubuntu Forums [04:29] RussM, http://paste.ubuntu.com/119511/ [04:29] Angelus_Delapsus: you may try package manager, oh its called apt package manager and search for gnome there [04:29] madagascar27: turn it off [04:29] when i go off to college next year, my roommate better be an ubuntu expert [04:29] spideyman: now you have to unistall current version then install the version that is for the upgraded one [04:29] redvamp128: thanks.. my current trouble is that apt-get instlal w32codecs won't work, says it's referenced by another package but no installation candidate is avail [04:29] I have this smoothwall box, no cdrom drive. It has ftp access to the rest of my network -- what is the most straight forward way to get ubuntu onto it -- [04:29] madagascar27: open the box, get make and model of the hard disk drive and come back with that info [04:29] syockit, I think there's a cron job that runs it pretty often, but sometimes I just run it manually after I move a ton of stuff around [04:30] kyledr: Intrepid or Juanty?

I could shut it down and open it up, but I would rather not [04:58] Dracie: how would i go about doing that? [04:59] Crayboff, Applications -> Accessorys -> Terminal [04:59] type in firefox [04:59] return [04:59] dracie, alright, ya, it didn't return any feedback [04:59] Pengu1: looks like i can confirm it on 64-bit ubuntu. 8.04 === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [04:59] I think firefox has a built in debug thingy [04:59] FearMoth: Look up your computers model online? === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [05:00] kc8pxy, it works on 64-bit ubuntu?

[05:03] So I have figured out that its shockwave flash thats creating firefox and seamonkey to crashes. Anyone know what the possible conflicts could be with? [05:03] i can't enable my mic with pulseaudio [05:03] syockit: did you figure anything out, can't recall or see if you said anything [05:03] amorok does all that well except the movies i suggest vlc for that [05:04] or mplayer [05:04] kc8pxy: Well if you confirm that it works on 64-bit, I wouldn't know what to tell you. If you don't, then he'll probably have to run it in 32 bit, if possible. [05:04] either way he'd probably have to do that, I suppose. [05:04] spidey, i'll look into it, thanks [05:05] well i'm using amarok right now but i'm having all sorts of problems with it [05:05] anyone here versed in setting up 32-bit java on 64-bit ubuntu? [05:05] like what? [05:05] Crayboff, my buddy had the same deal, he said banshee was like heaven lol [05:05] Crayboff, Banshee def. doesn't do apps [05:05] Crayboff, are you on KDE or Gnome? [05:06] hey all i'm trying to play a video in totem, fullscreen, and it looks like the totem UI is flashing through from behind the fullscreen video every now and then [05:06] pengul, gnome [05:06] Well I'd recommend Banshee or Exaile for Gnome. [05:06] word [05:06] never heard of Exaile tho, need to check that out [05:06] Amorok is good, if you're running KDE. [05:06] I use amorok in gnome with no probs yet even got a 3g ipod nano workin [05:07] hey guys i have a completely bricked ipod, cant get any operating system to detect it, do u guys have any idea how to fix it [05:07] anyone, weird video flashing issues running in fullscreen? [05:07] Exaile is a clone of Amorok, more or less. Written in GTK [05:07] spideyman: i mean i have other problems, like it keeps starting up at boot and i can't stop it [05:07] lol [05:07] set it in start up options [05:07] CRAP, my firefox is worse off than i though, the back and forward buttons are broken [05:07] @fixmypod I think you're in the wrong IRC for ipod support [05:08] spideyman: i already tried sessions [05:08] reinstall firmware from itunes [05:08] spideyman: it's not in there [05:08] But yeah, Banshee is good if you like the iTunes or WMP style of music sorting, Exaile is better if you're into running music from active playlists constantly. [05:08] Pengu1: what about songbird? [05:08] spideyman: ubuntu doesnt even recognize the ipod, neither does any other operating system [05:08] I haven't tried it. [05:08] whats the difference between the splash screen and the USPLASH [05:08] Crayboff, Banshee is also good if you just shuffle all of your shit all the time [05:08] spideyman: is there a way i could look in the /dev folder to manually flash the device ? [05:09] I've tried Exaile, Amorok, Banshee, Rythmbox, a few others. Banshee is my favorite. [05:09] Pengu1: you try songbird, though? [05:09] @Pengu1 same, it has a pretty icon too [05:09] Crayboff, No, I haven't. [05:09] anyone know what i have to install to get /usr/lib/win32/avisynth.dll? It's a codec for mplayer [05:09] youd still have to gey the firmware from apple [05:09] get [05:09] you know what, I'm starting to get really pissed with my computer right now. how could firefox fail me like this? [05:09] lol [05:09] Yeah the Exaile icon is too close to Pidgin's. I keep thinking I have IM windows open. [05:09] what in the world do you mean [05:10] I have a live cd in a Mac Pro with wireless mouse, the mouse does not work. How do I use the keyboard to get to the top bar? [05:10] Can someone please assist me? rmmod ath9k and sudo modprobe -r ath9k causes my system to lockup and crash.

[05:17] Pengu1: umm i can check for you, if i had any videos to play on them [05:17] tritium: ath9k [05:17] Pengu1: i think it's a yes, though [05:17] shey: that's peculiar. [05:17] @Crayboff /home/urname/Examples [05:17] OK I have determined my mouse problem definately has something to do with the serial port. It works just fine with usb. Anyone please? [05:17] Hm. My videos don't blink, but when I run something like xScreensaver or Google Earth it flickers contantly [05:17] check there for a movie to play [05:18] spideyman: actually i have a fat32 probably, i used it with windows, sry for the confusion [05:18] L3Tum: what's the problem [05:18] ? [05:18] its still a good read [05:18] tritium: Im on a macbook 2,1; and according to forums and such, I had to compile the module myself, and now when I rmmod ath9k, the system just hangs. Theres a kernel bug with the ath9k module, it keeps dropping the connection. [05:18] yes, Pengu1 it does [05:19] spideyman: it shows using a firewire port tho, i dont know if my usb will work [05:19] @Crayboff, you found a video in there? [05:19] Damn.

It quit working when I had Fedora, I installed ubuntu still doesn't work. I checked BIOS, as far as I can tell everything is right there. I tried changing to another mouse and neither work with the serial port, but when I use the usb mouse it does work [05:19] tritium: so to get the blacklisted module to unload, I need to reboot no? [05:19] I wonder why my videos don't blink and yours do. [05:20] stupid compiz bugs. [05:20] L3Tum: is the "sermouse" module loaded? [05:20] @Pengu1 in my experience, it's always Compiz' fault [05:20] lol [05:20] there all the same [05:20] shey: sounds like it, given what you described [05:20] do you know if it's a particular compiz feature? [05:20] tritium, I don't know, how do I check that? [05:20] because I'd sacrifice wobbly windows for a fix to this crap. [05:20] L3Tum: lsmod | grep sermouse [05:20] the 3g nanos you have to manually set the firewire id [05:20] L3Tum: you may wanna see if the serial port is connected INSIDE the machine. most people now disconnect it to save resources & ports. [05:20] @Pengu1 its not the features, just the load on the chip [05:20] Pengu1: well... why not just kill compiz and use metacity? it's stable as a rock. [05:20] tritium: thanks for your help. [05:21] shey: sure. Good luck.

[05:21] @Pengu1 other times, it's a lost cause [05:21] spideyman: i went to /proc/bus/usb, the folder is empty [05:21] nanotube: much work to get that installed? [05:21] Dracie: yes, quite possibly === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [05:21] @Dracie if you upgrade to 9.04, expect nothing to work [05:21] @Dracie at least not yet [05:21] @Dracie rule of thumb [05:22] btw has anyone recompiled a kernel and recompiled nvidia nonfree to work with it? [05:22] I couldn't get it to work following the wiki [05:22] spideyman: it says that /proc/bus/ieee394 should have "APPLE IPOD..." but my usb folder is just empty [05:22] Dracie: if you really have further questions about 9.04, /j #ubuntu+1 [05:22] Pengu1: not at all, it comes installed by default. if you just disable all desktop effects, metacity will be used instead of compiz.

[05:22] tritium, ok thx [05:22] hopefully rebooting my computer will fix all my problems? oh and I have a problem during startup/shutdown [05:22] Does anyone know offhand, all the compiz features that are enabled when running 'Normal' visual effects? [05:22] linux is fickle with ipods it may look mounted or even transfer files but wont work [05:23] Pengu1, get compiz config manager [05:23] what model ipod is it? [05:23] I have that. === abyan is now known as abyan_83 [05:23] spideyman: its an ipod classic === abyan_83 is now known as abe [05:23] okay, i'm an IRC noob, can someone explain to me a few things [05:23] tritium, when I type lsmod | grep sermouse it says nothing. Also, the mouse did work until started trying to configure my network card, then it quit, so I know it is connected inside [05:23] spideyman: i cant get it to show as a device in windows either [05:23] such as are there sub channels in this channel [05:24] and how do i know what they are [05:24] try gtkpod it worked well with my shuffle [05:24] L3Tum: ok, that means it's not connected. Try "sudo modprobe sermouse" to load it. [05:24] pHreaksYcle: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FAQ [05:24] dracie, compiz config manager still requires too much from the video driver and still flashes [05:24] spideyman: k ill try that later [05:24] @B1n43y muchas gracias [05:24] spideyman: tks for the help [05:24] Crayboff, flashes? [05:24] np [05:25] trying to fix the flashes is a hopeless cause until the gods make a brandnew driver [05:25] can someone please help me install wifi radar on xubuntu? [05:25] tritium, still nothing. Nothing printed, and no mouse control [05:25] tritium, replug in your mouse and then try it [05:25] L3Tum: are you in X right now? Try restarting gdm after you've loaded the module. [05:26] L3Tum: i.e., "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart" [05:26] @Crayboff get another gfx card? [05:26] lol looks like i have been doing that wrong [05:26] hi, I am getting this error @ boot "can't find /init in /etc/fstab" [05:26] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [05:26] @borgista that sucks [05:26] Dracie: ATI cards make OpenGL flicker like crazy with compiz on. [05:26] yes, dracie, flashes. the ATI driver sucks balls and 3d graphics and video flashes. ironically, it doesn't happen on youtube, so flash video still works [05:26] yup Pengu1 [05:26] I don't know what you guys are talking about [05:26] Dracie: that's another way to do it. [05:27] pHreaksYcle: any advice? [05:27] 3300 HD works fine [05:27] Crayboff: watch the language, please [05:27] I've been trying to fix it too, borgista [05:27] sorry, tritium, i'm pissed off right now [05:27] @borgista wait for someone more experienced [05:27] Crayboff, youtube isn't opengl accel [05:27] Pengu1: so is it a known bug? [05:27] tritium, my screen went black and I have blinking cursor but cannot type anything, it didn't restart [05:27] i'm rebooting right now, brb [05:27] Crayboff: never mind that. This channel needs to be kept family-friendly. [05:27] i know [05:27] It's known but not widely reported [05:27] borgista, you have a seperate boot partition? [05:27] can someone please help me??? [05:27] I'm guessing not all Radeon cards are affected by it [05:27] Dracie: yes? [05:28] @tritium i thought it was 13+ [05:28] I have one too, Dracie [05:28] L3Tum: Ctrl-Alt-F7 doesn't take you back to X? [05:28] Same problem. [05:28] pHreaksYcle: no [05:28] pppp [05:28] borgista, it seems it thinks your root file system is the same partition [05:28] damnit [05:28] borgista, don't worry its an easy fix [05:28] Dracie: yay!!! [05:29] borgista, do you know what the device name is of your root filesystem? [05:29] Dracie, what problem of his in particular are you trying to fix? [05:29] tritium, no, I can go to terminal with alt+F1 but alt+f7 or alt+ctrl+f7 just goes to blank screen [05:29] root is /dev/sda7 [05:29] Pengu1, grub told his kernel to boot and root is his boot partition [05:29] L3Tum: can you try to load it again? "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start" [05:29] Oh, I thought you were talking about the flickering. Damn. [05:29] i love linux [05:29] borgista, ok you need to mount your boot partition somewhere and then edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file [05:30] it's mounted [05:30] I'm trying to connect to a Wireless network. In Windows, the required security settings involve configuring it to use TKIP and MSChapV2. In Ubuntu's NetworkManager, I see MSChapV2 related options but no TKIP. What am I missing? [05:30] i can access it Dracie [05:30] borgista, open that file [05:30] tritium, got it back, still no mouse [05:30] Dracie: I've got it open. [05:31] borgista, do you know how to use pastebin? [05:31] L3Tum: any errors noted in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, particularly related to this issue? [05:31] Yes, Dracie [05:31] L3Tum, also run dmesg | tail [05:31] i need Wi-Fi help... [05:31] borgista, I want to see that file real quick before i start making you edit stuff [05:31] Problem guys: I installed a gnome theme and untarred it not realizing it would overwrite my current settings. Any way to roll that back? [05:31] tritium, gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [05:32] L3Tum: you can, if you like [05:32] http://pastebin.com/d64366a5d Dracie [05:32] Sw3RvE, whats the error on installtion? [05:32] i never got an error. i would like to install wifi radar. i read that i could use it on xubuntu. === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [05:33] Dracie: /boot is /dev/sda5 [05:33] What is a cgroup [= control group] as in http://pastebin.com/f6033690a? [05:33] How do I restore the default gnome theme? [05:33] hey borgista so the part of the line starting with kernel needs to be changed at the root=UUID=c92201a0-dc8d-4fac-9cbc-ffa60c5129ca [05:33] What does it need to be Dracie? [05:34] @Huufarted on ubuntu? or just Gnome [05:34] change it to root=/dev/sda8 (or whatever your root partition is) [05:34] ok [05:34] Ubuntu's default gnome theme. [05:34] !flash [05:34] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [05:34] Dracie: Is that all? [05:34] Sw3RvE, pastebin the error [05:34] borgista, yes then it should work [05:34] haha dapper!?!?! [05:34] I untarred a theme and did not realize it would take effect immediately. [05:34] wow [05:35] Ok, Dracie....I'll reboot then come back. Thanks! [05:35] tritium, I don't see anything that looks promising in either of those [05:35] Dracie, i never had an error. i just need help installing Wi-Fi Radar. [05:35] Sw3RvE, isn't it in the repositories [05:35] L3Tum: normally, serial mouse support is provided via the sermouse module. [05:35] im using Xubuntu. i searched Add/Remove and nothing came up. [05:35] restarting my computer didn't work in fixing firefox [05:36] Sw3RvE, go into a console [05:36] fml [05:36] @Huufarted if you mean on ubuntu, System->Preferences->Appearance and click the Human theme [05:36] Crayboff, what media player did you end up picking [05:36] ok [05:36] Huufarted: system>preferences>appearance [05:36] pHreaksYcle, what about the default panels? It modified the panels as well [05:36] Sw3RvE, do apt-cache search wifi radar [05:36] does a package that your looking for come up? [05:36] pengul, i haven't put that much thought into it yet. right now i'm trying to fix my firefox [05:36] @Huufarted google is your friend, let me check that really quick, i had to do it once [05:36] pHreaksYcle: changing the appearance and theme doesn't modify the panel layouts [05:37] Crayboff, whats wrong with it? [05:37] anyone know how to fix firefox? [05:37] sw3rve@sw3rve-laptop:~$ apt-cache search wifi radar [05:37] wifi-radar - graphical utility for managing Wi-Fi profiles [05:37] do you think it's something else doing it? or a problem with FF itself? [05:37] Sw3RvE, sudo apt-get install wifi-radar [05:37] yeah I checked, phreaksycle, but haven't seen anything, yet. [05:37] @Huufarted you have to delete that one settings folder for gnome [05:37] @Huufarted gimme a sec [05:37] I have never had an issue with firefox in linux except on rather slow machines [05:37] tritium, alright I'll try to do some more searching on sermouse. Thanks [05:37] @Dracie cool lol [05:37] Dracie he said his back and front button stopped working [05:37] Thank you Dracie! [05:37] and his bookmarks were messed up. [05:37] L3Tum, did you consult the ubuntu wiki? [05:38] Sw3RvE, no problem [05:38] L3Tum: otherwise, check into your /etc/X11/xorg.conf InputDevice section. [05:38] tritium, that won't work unless he changes settings in hal [05:38] @Huufarted Word. http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ [05:38] dracie, alright, when I open up firefox it gives me a blank screen and nothing in the URL bar (no about:blank). my bookmarks bar is gone, it says its there, but there is nothing in it and I can't add anything to it [05:38] now will it be in Add/Remove? [05:38] L3Tum: if need be, you can "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [05:38] trit I have done that before, and didn't see a mouse section [05:38] pHreaksYcle: oh snap [05:39] @Huufarted Long story short: rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity [05:39] Sw3RvE, i am totally not sure, you might want to look into using synaptic in System -> Administration -> Synpatic [05:39] dracie: also, I can't use the back/forward/refresh [05:39] tritium, I mean I have checked the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and no mouse section or inputdevice was in there [05:39] Add/Remove only shows some packages [05:39] L3Tum: ok, never mind then [05:39] I see that, pHreaksYcle [05:39] Crayboff, mv .firefox firefox.backup [05:39] where is that? [05:39] then restart firefox [05:39] tritium, should there be one in there? I don't know how to add one [05:40] L3Tum: did you follow this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto ? [05:40] i have System... [05:40] @Huufarted okay cool. didnt want to make you read haha [05:40] what do you want me to do with that? [05:40] System -> Administration -> Synpatic [05:40] oh the package manager [05:40] Sw3RvE, yup [05:40] Crayboff, your config is probably meesing you up [05:40] Dracie: it should work [05:40] alright, so what do you want me to do with it? [05:40] tritium, configs kill everything [05:40] Crayboff, just move it from .mozilla [05:40] back it up [05:41] and restart firefox [05:41] cE_pLanEth [05:41] anyone here use a custom kernel in ubuntu? [05:41] ok im in Synaptic. it looks like its already applied? [05:41] @Huufarted, did it work?? [05:41] Sw3RvE, Sorry I meant to just show you that way of managing packages - its more advanced than add/remove [05:42] dracie, now i can't even find it, where is it? [05:42] Dracie: that's such a vague response, I don't know what you are referring to [05:42] Crayboff, control + h if your in the file browser [05:42] tritium, I didn't see that before, I saw some similar and entered Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Mouse" Driver "Mouse" EndSection (on their own lines of course) but this did not help. I'll try to edit to exactly what this link says [05:42] no, no, what folder is it in? [05:42] /home/usrname/? dracie? [05:42] its cool. how do i use wi-fi radar now. it says Section: Networking Universe [05:42] Crayboff, /home/username/ [05:42] yup [05:43] L3Tum: ok [05:43] so far the wifi thing is the only thing i dont like about xubuntu. overall i think its way better than ubuntu :) [05:43] Sw3RvE, thats cool =] [05:44] @Sw3RvE I miss certain things about GNOME when i leave [05:44] Crayboff, do you see the .mozilla file [05:44] @Sw3RvE it makes me sad [05:44] you have to enable view hiddle files [05:44] so how do i run it now. i cant find it... [05:44] dracie, yes i am there [05:44] Sw3RvE, wifi radar? [05:44] i do like the gnome also [05:44] yes dracie. where in the world is it. lol [05:44] Crayboff, ok then restart firefox once you moved .mozilla out of that name [05:44] @rob1336 lol good to hear, ur in the right place [05:44] Sw3RvE, not sure probably in the Applicatoins menu [05:45] sorry guys but I am doing this all from memory, i am on Backtrack 3 lol [05:45] dracie, wait, do you want me to change the .mozilla name? [05:45] its not in there dracie. do i need to reboot or something? [05:45] ohh, nvm you want me to move it out of my /home/usr [05:45] Crayboff, yes to something like say .mozilla-backup [05:45] username === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball [05:46] Crayboff, it doesn't matter just as long as if you keep it in home/username name it something else [05:46] Sw3RvE, might be in System -> Admin [05:46] @Crayboff just like drag it to the friggin desktop lol [05:46] There is no Admin tab in System. [05:47] Sw3RvE: Administration [05:47] oh yeah Xubuntu's interface is different [05:47] alright, i did drag it to the desktop [05:47] they dont have that. im using Xubuntu. === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [05:47] uhoh [05:47] Crayboff, does it work now [05:48] @Crayboff lol, it's back to default right? supposed to be ur settings are not where they're supposed to be [05:48] yes [05:48] @Crayboff it made a new set of config files, but you can set it back later if you want [05:48] so it works? === Cueball is now known as Cueball_ [05:48] grrr [05:48] my close, minimize and maximize buttons are on the left, how can i change them to the right? [05:48] i feel like elmer fudd. im never going to find this rabbit. lol [05:48] lol [05:48] Dracie: do I have to redownload all of the addons and the themes? [05:49] Crayboff, no you can recombine the addons i think [05:49] so like drag it over? [05:49] -_- i wish i knew how [05:49] @Crayboff indeed [05:49] lolz [05:49] @Crayboff just find the folder with the addons in it [05:49] hang on, ill tell you [05:50] @Crayboff probably the one that says extensions, huh? [05:50] i installed and upgraded open office 3.0. i didnt have this problem with that. [05:50] pHreaksYcle: well if you look in the other folder you'll find all of the info for the addons [05:50] i cant find wifi radar... :( [05:50] Sw3RvE, it'll be somewhere in the menu [05:50] what about networking === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [05:51] its not in there. thats the first place i looked. [05:51] @Sw3RvE its not that we dont love you, but perhaps you'd be better off in the Xubuntu channel?? [05:51] they have one? [05:51] Sw3RvE: #xubuntu [05:51] oh lol [05:51] @Sw3RvE i guess this means i win :P [05:52] @Sw3RvE good luck [05:52] ill try there. thanks for the help. at least its installed i think lol [05:52] well that makes me feel better [05:52] Help. Ubuntu has broke after an update... [05:52] grrr its not on my Xchat list. [05:52] in particular it seems GDM broke. [05:53] quentusrex: please be more specific [05:53] @quentusrex explain [05:53] Sw3RvE: /join #xubuntu [05:53] whats the command to join another chat. i used to know it. [05:53] @Sw3RvE haha. . . [05:53] I boot up just fine. But when I log in, I get an error that I should contact a system admin because the Power Management Settings are not configured properly. [05:53] man this chat is a ghost town. no ones talking. lol [05:54] the xubuntu one... [05:54] Then the gdm panels don't appear, the two applications(pidgin and thunderbird) that I have setup to auto start, start. But there isn't the title bar(with the minimize, and close boxes) [05:54] @quentusrex what laptop [05:54] None of the icons or desktop wall paper show up. [05:54] It's a desk top... [05:55] how do i add the xubuntu chat to my server list? [05:55] Sw3RvE: depends on your IRC client [05:55] @quentusrex then ur hosed lol. BIOS and a reinstall sounds about right [05:55] Xchat [05:55] @quentusrex at least, that's how i would fix it. [05:55] quentusrex: note that the panels are not part of gdm, actually. gdm is simply the graphicla login manager [05:55] What do I do if Ubuntu won't allow me to download any plugins in order to get on the internet, and if practically nothing will work and it won't let me do anything because of no disk space apparently but it won't let me remove files or anything? It also won't allow me to create other accounts...I've tried recovery and everything, it won't do anything, and it's becoming so irritating. [05:55] !ur | pHreaksYcle [05:55] pHreaksYcle: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officer, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. [05:55] Sw3RvE, if you want it in the menu look @ /usr/share/applications - i think [05:56] @ubottu I will fight you [05:56] my close, minimize and maximize buttons are on the left, how can i change them to the right? [05:56] tritium: Then it might not be GDM. Something is borked... I can't afford to wipe and reinstall... [05:56] quentusrex: that is rarely necessary [05:56] !kindness | ubottu [05:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about kindness === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [05:57] @ubottu i know :P [05:57] tritium: Alright, it seems I can't type any letters(they don't show up) but ctrl+alt+backspace still restarts X. [05:57] wired keyboard? [05:57] /usr/share/applications <<<< put that in terminal? [05:57] yes, wired keyboard. [05:57] after you get logged in [05:57] unplug [05:57] and replug [05:57] the keyboard works find to login. [05:57] or are you referring to Xchat? [05:58] !enter | pHreaksYcle [05:58] pHreaksYcle: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:58] @tritium i guess this means you are a vet. [05:58] quentusrex: this behavior started when? [05:58] pHreaksYcle: no, but I do love animals [05:58] tritium: I just rebooted an hour ago after an upgrade... [05:59] tritium: I can still type. just not into thunderbird... Pidgin works still... [05:59] it's really weird... [05:59] quentusrex: which release? Which packages were upgraded? [05:59] @tritium lol. i wasn't trying to be a d when i asked if it was 13+ [05:59] @tritium cut me a break [05:59] Sw3RvE, look in that dir the menu items are files that end in .desktop [05:59] tritium: 8.10 and I don't remember which packages... [05:59] tritium, I have done everything on that page, and nothing has worked. Actually, the last thing on that page says to enter through until I get to the part with the mouse and it has no section for the mouse, like the mouse doesn't exist at all. [06:00] tritium: I have tried dpkg-reconfigure gdm and that didn't do anything... [06:00] quentusrex: I wouldn't expect that to. Have you restarted gdm at all? have you rebooted at all? [06:00] oh i see you meant in the directory [06:00] is there a different package I should reconfigure? I tried to boot into failsafe gnome, and it was still the same problem. [06:01] tritium: I've rebooted about 6 times... [06:01] Sw3RvE, there may be one for the app you installed, just need to add it to the proper group [06:01] and ctrl+alt+backspace about a dozen times. [06:01] i found it. [06:01] L3Tum: hmm, puzzling [06:01] i right clicked and clicked execute and it didnt work. i got an error. [06:01] quentusrex: fair enough [06:01] Is there I way I can effectively write 2 separate commands on 1 line? Like say I want to "killall " and then on the same line start it again. How would I split it up? [06:01] tritium: What controls the panels, and the 'frame' for the windows? [06:02] gnome [06:02] nvm [06:02] ScottG489: with && in between [06:02] @quentusrex gnome-panel or panels is the process i believe [06:02] ScottG489: cmd1 && cmd2 will only execute cmd2 if cmd1 is successfull, you might want cmd1; cmd2, which will run cmd2 regardless [06:02] Failed to execute child process "su-to-root" (No such file or directory). [06:02] Sw3RvE, you will need to edit the file, look at a similar .desktop file [06:02] @quentusrex it's gnome-panel [06:03] @tritium correct? [06:03] It won't let me do any of the updates. [06:03] atom^x such as?? [06:03] I've sshed into the desktop from another machine... [06:03] pHreaksYcle: yes [06:04] Sw3RvE, if you want to have something like root # just do sudo -i [06:04] Sw3RvE, try reading up here ->http://wiki.xfce.org/faq [06:04] @quentusrex if you end gnome-panel it should restart automagically [06:04] kill or w/e [06:04] what section do i read? [06:05] quentusrex: sounds like this problem may be affecting others, from what I'm learning [06:05] pHreaksYcle: gnome-panels isn't running [06:05] hello [06:05] anybody know anything about USB sound cards? [06:06] @quentusrex well, the obvious choice would be to start it with the command gnome-panel [06:06] @quentusrex unless you have an objection to this for some reason? [06:06] quentusrex: no trailing "s" [06:06] mine is spitting out "not enough bandwidth" to dmesg [06:06] sure, I'll start it manually... [06:06] @Seraph787 bandwidth of sound. . . ? [06:06] USB [06:07] I think it might have to do with thinking its a different device [06:07] my sound just randomly stopped working, how can i restart my sound services? [06:07] It says "Storm HP-USB500 5.1 Headset" [06:07] @Seraph787 as i know nothing of the subject, I will entertain you with a question [06:07] but its actually a cm106 sound card [06:07] @Seraph787 why would you use a USB sound card [06:07] Cause it has 5.1 sound [06:07] and my laptop does not [06:07] Sw3RvE, dont remember right off, look for .desktop file references [06:07] @Seraph787 o i c. thank you. [06:07] anyone here rebuild their ubuntu kernel?

[06:49] Savvas: Okay, thanks you and Extreme--thanks for the link [06:49] pHreaksYcle, what version of MusicTracker are you using? [06:49] I think maybe my ethernet card and mouse are conflicting, since neither of them are working. I have tried everything else I can possibly find on google about getting the mouse to work, and since the ethernet car doesn't seem to work either, it must be this. Now if someone could just tell me how to find out if they are trying to use the same i/o address or however it is I see if they are conflicting [06:49] My goals is to get the printer working end-of-week [06:49] pHreaksYcle, this was a question asked, no reason to become super dickhead [06:49] Aim high [06:49] extreme_: I've already warned you about foul language [06:49] if the question was placed in the wrong channel my fault [06:50] @extreme_ all in good humor my man. super dickhead i am not, and i commend you for using 64 its hard [06:50] any idea on how to get Pidgin to fix on one screen without overlap [06:50] Why does Gajim produce no sounds any longer?

[06:51] cute [06:51] pHreaksYcle, alright thank you [06:51] n2diy: if they're not on the install CD, you either have to connect to the internet to install from the repos, or grab the .deb packages from another machine, and transfer them via USB stick, or the like [06:51] quentusrex: The log-files should be giving you some strong clues as to what is happening. I addition to the log-files I mentioned earlier, you should look at ~/.xsession-errors [06:52] @Milkeh http://www.getdeb.net/download/3187/0 [06:52] n2diy: 1) a local apt mirror cache? 2) look for the package and its dependencies from http://packages.ubuntu.com - save them somewhere and transfer the files to the machine without internet? [06:52] How can I find out if a network card and and mouse are conflicting? [06:52] pHreaksYcle: it all works! thanks so much phreaksycle I've been having troubles with java on firefox for ages on ubuntu [06:52] pHreaksYcle: please be cautious recommending non-ubuntu packages [06:52] IntuitiveNipple: ** (Do:7241): CRITICAL **: gnome_desktop_item_get_localestring: assertion `item != NULL' failed [06:52] tritium: ok, the debs. are known to be sterile?

[06:54] pHreaksYcle: you can, but be prepared to help if they have trouble ;) [06:54] @tritium you got it captain crunch. im always ready to help [06:54] arggghhhh [06:54] pHreaksYcle: excuse.My Samba intallation is under progress.

[06:56] * extreme_ hands the peace pipe to pHreaksYcle [06:56] quentusrex: No, I didn't think it could be that simple. That error you reported is to do with bad plugins though, so you may want to deal with that later [06:56] tritium: lstarnes, apt-get filename is the same as getting it's .deb right? [06:56] pHreaksYcle, Lol, I mean a program on Ubuntu [06:56] IntuitiveNipple: :( [06:56] can somebody tell me how I can find out if both my mouse and my network card are trying to use the same i/o address, and if so, how to fix it? [06:56] @extreme thank you [06:56] bnagy: you have a lot of problems, the netbook remix release of ubuntu is for advanced users, not stable and not recommended - why not use intrepid 8.10 directly?

[06:58] tritium: 10-4 [06:58] wow what a busy chat ... i should leave [06:58] quentusrex: Can you create a bug-report on Launchpad and attach to it a tar-gzip archive containing some log-files?

[06:59] savvas: ugh, actually...lemme check if I have lynx [06:59] @quentusrex i see people recommend VLC for converting ETC but i never learned how to do anything like that.

I want to remove swiftweasel and install the new version properly. I am running Intrepid. I also need to uninstall Automatix and have no clue how to go about doing it [07:00] bnagy: i mean privately :) [07:01] desilou_fernande: excellent then :-) [07:01] Why does Gajim produce no sounds any longer? Does '~$ lsof | grep snd' show that sound output is blocked by gconf-help or mixer_app ?: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/394173 [07:01] remember Automatix? from 7.10? I still have it and i want rid of it [07:01] is vbox running xp vm a cpu hog known to anyone else? [07:01] why does my java and banshee music player not want to play sounds at the same time? [07:01] anyone know if there is a way to activate restricted drivers thru a console? [07:01] crakerjacks yo [07:01] @Milkeh uh oh. sounds like one of those ubuntu sound issues [07:01] Tom47, all the windows above 2000 will do that [07:01] Milkeh: because one of them is locking your soundcard for some reason [07:02] spree: yes, we *never* supported automatix [07:02] Tom47, XP is better than Vista [07:02] Tom47, resource wise anyway [07:02] crackerjackz, they lock each other out, any idea how to fix? [07:02] spree oh .... did not notice it until todays 2.1.4 update [07:02] tripps, well what do you want me to do [07:02] @extreme-sudoer :D [07:02] tritium, what do you want me to do [07:02] spree: There's no way to remove Automatix, you have to reinstall. [07:02] spree: anything you like [07:02] well that's just super [07:03] spree: we've always strongly advised against it [07:03] !automatix | spree [07:03] spree: Automatix is no longer developed or supported by its creators and is not recommended, supported, or needed by Ubuntu. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubottu WorksForMe » [07:03] spree: that's just one of the many reasons we recommend against it. [07:03] Tristam, yeah it would have been nice to know that before i did it, i'd never been here before [07:03] IntuitiveNipple: what should it be filed under? [07:03] i'm using automatix... can't get aircard to work [07:03] anyone know if there is a way to activate restricted drivers thru a console? [07:03] quentusrex: Hmmm... gdm ? [07:03] Milkeh: i'm not familuar with banshee music player, is it java that is locking your soundcard or is it banshee locking your sound card, are you sure its not firefox locking your sound card? [07:04] Tristam, you doing the !automatix was completely pointless, i already know, okay? [07:04] spree: The Ubuntu community has been crusading against Automatix for a long time now (well, while it was still active). But, we can't raise awareness everywhere, obviously. [07:04] @spree what kind of spree? [07:04] @spree candy or killing? [07:04] pHreaksYcle: Please stay on topic [07:04] Flannel, show me where I am advocating the use of automatix [07:04] so why the ubuntu team so against it? [07:05] pHreaksYcle, why not both? [07:05] spree: I never said you were. I just said we've tried to raise awareness as much as we could. [07:05] @spree because that's too funny for me to handle. [07:05] any idea why i would get horizontal refresh lines when watching movies? [07:05] but i get nothing when playing games or anything else [07:06] Luvis: Because it's a bad piece of software. The actual issues are outlined in that blog article (well, some of them). If you'd like to discuss it further, we can take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [07:06] Luvis: why is the ubuntu team so against what? [07:06] Luvis: read above [07:06] crackerjackz, I'm sure, it's just that banshee (and every other music player) is kind of.. clashing with java. If I run a java game.. the song sits at 0:00 and java sounds play fine [07:06] crackerjackz, and if I play a song and open a java game.. no sounds come out of the java game [07:06] Flannel, you're like the guy who tells a guy who just got hit by a truck that he should avoid being hit by trucks [07:06] Milkeh: you are using firefox right? [07:06] @spree LMAO [07:06] Crackerjackz ,automatix [07:06] spree: the point was to provide you the background on the reasons why [07:07] crackerjackz, yes [07:07] pHreaksYcle: i dont find any 'shared folders' in System->Administration.I repeat i m using Virtual Box.Windows XP is my Host and Ubuntu is my Guest.Plz help me [07:07] Milkeh: go to youtube.com and see if flash does the same thing to you [07:07] tritium, i was looking forward to finding out something i don't already know. So far, i'm disappointed. [07:07] Milkeh: i think its firefox locking your soundcard not java [07:08] tritium, i do know this whole "impossible to remove it" thing has got to be bunk and a cop-out [07:08] Milkeh: you only have onboard sound right? [07:08] crackerjackz, Nope I'm positive, it's java. Just double checked, doesn't do it with firefox. and youtube videos are working fine [07:08] i see no blog article [07:08] spree: if it were official ubuntu software in the repositories, you might have reason to complain to us [07:08] crackerjackz, Not quite sure, I know I have a realtek HD soundcard [07:09] spree: If you want to manually delete lots of files, go right ahead. There's no easy way for us to explain to you how to restore your system to a state before it was installed. [07:09] tritium, Show me where I complained [07:09] Milkeh: you only have one soundcard right? and the one you do have is intergrated with the motherboard right/ [07:09] spree: it's unfortunate you chose to install unofficial software, and now want to blame us, as if it was in some way something we did [07:10] Luvis: /msg ubottu automatix, and you'll see the blog post [07:10] spree: your previous two comments [07:11] tritium, so far you've had the supposition that I am both some kind of Automatix adovcate that needs talking out of using it after the damage is done, and that I am here to whine about it. I came here for some sort of recommendation beyond what somebody at Dell tech support in India would say with Windows "Okay, we'll just reinstall your entire operating system that will fix it" [07:11] what is the apt-get syntax to DL filename to my USB drive, with is listed as /dev/sdb1? [07:11] how can I find out which i/o address my mouse and network card are using? [07:11] with/ which [07:11] spree: I've had no such supposition, there's just nothing we can recommend for you [07:11] thanks tritium [07:11] That is a sufficient and respectable response. [07:12] crackerjackz, I would say it, I used to run both java and windows media player on windows [07:12] i might have to transfer to opensuse [07:12] spree: Ok, fine: Get a vanilla install of Ubuntu, get a list of files on it (ls -lR /) install Automatix (the same version), install all of the software you installed with automatix. Get another file listing. Delete the differences. === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [07:12] Flannel thank you, that's a good idea [07:13] spree: Other than that, we have no idea, since we don't deal with it. You wouldn't call up Dell and ask them how to remove some random third party program. [07:13] Milkeh: you only have one soundcard right? [07:13] Why does Gajim produce no sounds any longer? Does '~$ lsof | grep snd' show that sound output is blocked by gconf-help or mixer_app ?: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/394173 [07:13] Flannel, actually yeah i would because if i were into the whole Dell thing i would pimp that warranty support out as much as possible and they would do it. :) [07:14] spree: nonsense [07:14] what is the apt-get syntax to DL filename to my USB drive, which is listed as /dev/sdb1? [07:14] @bullgard4 do you mean Gaim? [07:14] IntuitiveNipple: tritium Alright. I installed kubuntu-desktop... and now I'm in the desktop... [07:14] crackerjackz, I would say so, I haven't added any extra hardware. [07:14] pHreaksYcle: No. [07:14] quentusrex: Does gdm still fail? [07:14] tritium, actually you'd be amazed at what you can accomplish over the phone [07:15] spree: It's extremely likely that it won't actually work. Because the automatix repositories and such have been taken offline, and I'm sure URLs of other things have changed as well. But sure, if you're willing to actually do that, byall means, knock yourself out. It'll be faster, and cleaner (and you'll have fewer problems) to just reinstall (since automatix not only added files, but *modified* files) === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball [07:15] IntuitiveNipple: yes, it still fails... [07:15] brb [07:15] !away > Luvis [07:15] Luvis, please see my private message [07:15] spree: it's not reasonable to demand support for random, third-party, unofficial software [07:15] quentusrex: narrowing things down then [07:15] quentusrex: Have you posted those logs? [07:15] tritium, show me where i said i'm responsible. [07:15] or reasonable [07:16] Flannel: is Automatix supported now? [07:16] n2diy: Never. [07:16] IntuitiveNipple: yup. they're posted... [07:16] spree: drop it. [07:16] does anyone know of anyway to get a novatel ovation broadband airmodem working on linux? [07:16] how should i reopen a bug ? [07:16] quentusrex: Have you tried doing a reinstall of gdm? (sudo apt-get --reinstall gdm) [07:16] quentusrex: Give me the bug URL === Cueball is now known as Cueball_ [07:17] i tried helping Luvis earlier but google only yielded two search results [07:17] i'm irritated at the lack of enthusiasm [07:17] Flannel: ok, I was off line for four monthes, so I have been suprized to see it discussed here, recently. [07:17] bug ? [07:17] spree, You can't demand support for a free product anyway...if you don't like it you don't have to use it [07:17] n2diy: Its been dead for a while. I have no idea what spurred this horrible ressurection. [07:17] i bet i can fix it i fixed everything else that wasn't working with the past 4 upgrades [07:17] spree: spare us, and stay on topic, please [07:17] !bug [07:17] 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 [07:17] Flannel: :) [07:17] tritium, show me where i'm not on topic [07:18] hi, how can I turn off X and make it not reload gdm? [07:18] ^^^ temporally [07:18] elpargo: /etc/init.d/gdm stop [07:18] if a bug is mark "fixed released" how can i reopen ? [07:18] elpargo: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop [07:18] tritium: do you know how to get a novatel ovation mc727 usb air modem working with ubuntu? [07:18] Is there any way to find out if my mouse and network card are conflicting? And how can I fix this if they are? [07:18] crackerjackz: no, sorry [07:19] tritium: have you ever played around with cellular modems before? [07:19] crackerjackz: nope [07:19] right thanks lvty, totally forgot about it :) [07:19] damn box says it supports linux.. [07:19] tritium: you know any one that might know? [07:19] what is the apt-get syntax to DL filename to my USB drive, which is listed as /dev/sdb1? [07:19] tritium: intersting I didn't knew about that one. [07:19] I recently upgraded my system from hardy to intrepid, now my wireless cuts out frequently and reconnects, I am using WPA/WPA2 Personal encryption, but if I change it to WEP 128 bit encryption, it seems to be working more stable, is there a workaround or known issue with WPA/WPA2 and intrepid? [07:19] spree: Again, please stay on topic. That topic is: Ubuntu support, not badgering people doing the support. [07:20] its actually for my friend luvis i tried helping him earlier but google only yielded two search results so i suggested that we come in here [07:21] is it quiet or did i get disconnected === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [07:21] lol [07:21] ha92910 [07:21] IntuitiveNipple: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330858 [07:21] you are still alive Daft_Punk [07:21] crackerjackz, oooo nice pun [07:22] :] === florin is now known as Guest35504 [07:24] Why does Gajim produce no sounds any longer? Does '~$ lsof | grep snd' show that sound output is blocked by gconf-help or mixer_app ?: http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/394173 [07:25] bullgard4, what do you mean, any longer? since when? [07:25] Daft_Punk: Since 3 hours. [07:25] all your base belong to us? [07:25] huuuyyyyy [07:25] Luvis: Please stay on topic. [07:26] sorry. i get distracted [07:26] quentusrex: What's this command report: ls -l /dev/random && ls -l /dev/urandom [07:26] !offtopic | Luvis [07:26] Luvis: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [07:28] it seems fairly dead in here right now, ill come back later to ask my support question, if someone reads it and can help please PM me :) [07:28] Actually, what Luvis stated, was sorta on my topic. PyTube or what to download and save for replay YouTube stuff? [07:30] vigo: "apt-cache search youtube" should give you a few ideas [07:30] Thank you [07:30] how to install lamp-server [07:31] !lamp | delly [07:31] delly: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [07:31] tritium: in Terminal? [07:31] Daft_Punk: I'd downgrade [07:31] brb guz [07:31] delly: The easiest way is to use tasksel (which is explained from that wiki page) [07:31] ok dear i ;ll try [07:31] lvty, I do not know if that is your attempt at humor, or just plain bad advice, but I do not appreciate it. Thanks. [07:32] Daft_Punk, you'll get a lot of that around here, caveat emptor === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [07:33] Well, I had issues with audio and wireless cards in Intrepid, it's not user error when the previous version worked (i.e. a regression) === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball [07:34] vigo: yes [07:34] lvty, yeah but this is support for intrepid not hardy, also, i had issues with audio too but it turns out its just a package that needed to be upgraded that wasn't... [07:34] spree: drop the attitude [07:34] tritium, I don't know what you mean. Please stay on topic. [07:34] spree: Actually, being unhelpful is against the channel rules, so no, you won't. === Cueball is now known as Cueball_ [07:35] tritium: Sweet! Thank you [07:35] vigo: no problem :) [07:35] :) justice [07:35] any webcam gurus on here? [07:35] what is a .wine? [07:35] quentusrex: I've posted a response to your bug report [07:36] tritium, i just noticed a PM spree had sent me just now, should I share it with you in private or just ignore it? [07:36] nanotube: usb? [07:36] Daft_Punk: you may PM me [07:36] lvty: yes [07:36] Daft_Punk: This is support for Hardy and Intrepid. Hardy is a Long Term Support release. [07:37] IntuitiveNipple, i was under the impression that since it was released that this was only intrepid support and hardy would have it's own channel, sorry. [07:37] ubuntu+1 is jaunty [07:37] Daft_Punk: It gets confusing :) [07:38] Daft_Punk: thanks, buddy [07:38] Maybe we need an #ubuntu-1 :p [07:38] Daft_Punk: #ubuntu supports all supported (and sometimes EOL stuff, particularly upgrading to non-EOL) Ubuntu versions. [07:38] nanotube: it's probably not in the kernel, someone else correct me if I'm wrong: http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ [07:39] Flannel, ok i understand now thanks [07:41] lvty: well, the problem is more complex (hence request for gurus) :) webcam works just fine in cheese, but ekiga fails to see it. [07:42] what are the fundamental topics to be learnt by a beginner to Ubuntu? [07:42] I need to apt-get a package, and send it to /dev/sdb1, what is the syntax to do that? [07:42] nanotube: do you have libpt*plugins-v4l ? === GOD2 is now known as livus [07:42] SasL, probably basic terminal commands as you might need to know them sometimes, as well as how to use ROOT and why you shouldnt always be root [07:42] lvty: yes [07:43] SasL: Depends on where they're coming from. The biggest is probably package management (which usually means add/remove or synaptic package manager). And then the permissions (sudo stuff, etc) [07:43] nanotube: might want to run it in higher debugging level and paste that === livus is now known as lovis === lovis is now known as Luvis [07:43] lvty: done that... here let me post my ubuntuforums thread (no replies ... :( ) [07:44] lvty: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6723444 === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [07:44] Hi [07:44] * Daft_Punk waves excitedly at Brack101 [07:45] I'm trying to create a cron job that runs mplayer for an alarm clock. When it triggers the mplayer process, I only get .5 seconds of sound. anyone know what's up? [07:45] 44 23 * * * mplayer /home/travis/Music/alarm.mp3 [07:45] after crontab -e [07:45] nanotube: can you paste the entire thing in pastie or somewhere? [07:46] use alarm clock why make a cron... [07:46] lvty: by entire thing you mean the whole ekiga -d 6 debug output? [07:47] Daft_Punk: Thank.Any reference links available? [07:47] toshi: so I can practice my linux, and be all nerdy and have to use pskill to kill my alarm clock in the morning [07:47] hello i have 2 pc with UBUNTU how to connect a pc to the other [07:47] toshi: besides, there's no good built in alarm clock as far as I can tell [07:47] Flannel: Thanks.Is package management that important? [07:47] Random tip: sudo !! <-- This will run the last command you wrote with 'sudo' in front of it. [07:47] sastha, sorry, references for? [07:47] apt-get install alarm-clock [07:48] boshhead: A better method is to hit up, then hit home, then type sudo. Otherwise you can get confused, and do the wrong command with sudo [07:48] i want to see the folders of the other pc but samba ask for password and when i set the right password it tells that the password is wrong [07:48] lol [07:48] nanotube: yes [07:48] Flannel: No, that's much less effecient :P [07:48] Daft_Punk: Terminal commands? and its interesting,the sentence u said.'Y u shouldn't be ROOT all the time'. :) [07:48] sastha: Package management (you don't need to know all about it, just how to use the package managers to find stuff) is how you install new software (and find new software to install) [07:49] sastha: https://help.ubuntu.com/ actually covers all of the basics [07:49] Flannel: Thanks [07:49] boshhead: No, its not actually. And its much safer. [07:49] lvty: ok, let me generate it... [07:50] Flannel: I bet you wear a helmet when going outside :) [07:51] I wear a helmet when i go outside. It's DANGEROUS out there. On account of the plate in my head. [07:51] hey. What package provides gtk-config ? [07:51] lvty: here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/119555/ [07:52] lvty: thanks for taking a look at this btw :) [07:53] nanotube: yw, I wish I was actually skilled at this (only had something similar with a builtin usb cam) === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [07:53] hi i want ha document/content managment system on debain machine [07:53] any good one any one knows? [07:54] A friend has a issue with Pidgin not launching on a default install of Ubuntu. He clicks it, but it does not launch, and the icon does not appear on the bar. What should I tell him? [07:54] empiric: Openoffice? [07:55] no no [07:55] Enterprise [07:55] contetct managemnt [07:55] luminerd: open a terminal, type pidgin in it, and see what error he gets [07:56] empiric: make up your mind, do you want to manage documents, or contacts, or what??? [07:56] I got rid of the shortcut to terminal on these machines :/ is there a key combo that will let you run terminal or something [07:56] contents [07:56] nanotube: the only thing I can think of is that it's not finding the plugins. that would probably take a debugger or at least strace [07:56] well primarily documents [07:56] luminerd: alt-f2 and type gnome-terminal [07:56] thanks [07:57] empiric: nobody can answer you question, until you know what you want to do. [07:57] nanotube: that video0 symlink isn't pointing at a /dev/ node is it? [07:58] jest ktos z polski ? [07:58] ! pl [07:58] Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl [07:58] n2diy i want document managemnt system any good you know?

[07:59] wojtek: /j #ubuntu-pl [07:59] wojtek, type /join #ubuntu-pl [07:59] hola [08:00] open office is where i write docs if i want to pcae dosumnets on a web based system where users can have only read access to these files and admin has write access [08:00] nanotube: yeah, and it's not supposed to. looks like it's detecting the audio and assuming that's all there is [08:00] should have version managment of docs as well [08:01] empiric: oh, so you mean a web-based CMS? something like drupal maybe? [08:01] empiric: I "think" OO can do all that, but you would need help specific to OO for that. Try and find an OO channel? === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [08:02] lvty: well, it's not pointing to /dev/video0... it's pointing at /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb1/1-1/video4linux/video0 [08:02] nanotube: the bug looks like it's in pvl2plugin's handling of that metadata [08:02] * Cannot join #ubuntu-offtopic (You are banned). Why was I banned? [08:03] Daft_Punk: #ubuntu-ops is the place to discuss those things [08:03] lvty: hrm... so what do you suggest? where does that plugin live, that is - if i upgrade to the latest ekiga (it's up to v3.x now), might that help? [08:03] Flannel, thank you [08:04] ex-chat [08:04] how can i automount a share into a folder inside a users homedir, using autofs-ldap? [08:05] nanotube: it's pretty unlikely, and building ekiga from sources is very painful [08:05] lvty: hrm... so what can i do? possible to upgrade just the pvl2plugin? [08:06] lvty: pv4lplugin, that is [08:06] nanotube: may have to use another SIP client [08:07] nanotube: since hardware issues and lack of support in kernel are already ruled out [08:07] lvty: can you suggest a good one i could use? one that is foss? [08:08] lvty: and supports videochat === chaky_ is now known as chaky [08:09] nanotube: might try sip communicator [08:09] nanotube: of course FOSS... kind of, you need a JRE [08:11] nanotube: the main problem is nothing can drill through firewalls like Ekiga (and skype, which uses dirty tricks supposedly) === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [08:12] lvty: hmm... well, maybe out of curiosity i might try the jaunty alpha livecd and see if ekiga3 works on it. :) [08:12] nanotube: there's also wengo, so you have a few applications to fall back on [08:13] lvty: well, thanks for your help. i'll try these other guys and see if they can do the magic. :) [08:14] nanotube: yw, wish I could've done more [08:14] lvty: good night :) [08:15] nanotube: Ekiga 3 seems to handle USB V4L2 video okay on Jaunty [08:15] night, or morning :) [08:16] IntuitiveNipple: cool... thanks for the info. [08:16] lvty: yea... more like morning indeed. :) === _NeoBlaster is now known as neoblaster === neoblaster is now known as NeoBlaster [08:18] the problem I have with ekiga is there only seems to be an alsa audio plugin === tonyyaru1so is now known as tonyyarusso [08:19] Emacs Question: I can't tell emacs to use ttf-inconsolata with my .Xresources file but I can tell it to you Monospace? Any ideas why? === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [08:20] could anyone help me with a channel where someone know autofs? I realy need help [08:21] How do I DL a .deb, and put it on sdb1? [08:21] hi, how can I access SSH from terminal? I need to enter the password for my login, but I think it's asking for the server password or something? xxxxx@xxxxx:~$ ssh -l -D www.host.com 8080 usernamehere [08:21] n2diy: packages.ubuntu.com [08:22] tritium: chrootkit isn't in the repos. [08:22] n2diy: yes, I saw it earlier [08:22] n2diy: I believe synaptic can generate a download script too, if you need to do more than a few. [08:22] n2diy: package name is chkrootkit [08:23] tritium: chkrooket, ok, let me try that, thanks. [08:24] Hey. I've installed a new kernel version. Running update-grub detects the new kernel ("Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-12-generic"), but doesn't update menu.1st to include it. Whats going on here? === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [08:26] what does SRU means? i saw a lot sru specified in the ubuntu newsletter [08:27] SRU: Stable Release Update [08:27] k [08:27] thanks [08:27] np :) [08:28] hi [08:28] where can i download some wallpaper [08:28] Guest33167: interfacelift.com [08:29] Guest33167: or open the synaptic package manager and search for wall paper [08:29] wallpaper [08:30] jpds: thanks for the site [08:30] sebsebseb: It's not bad.

[08:32] Guest33167, www.digitalblasphemy.com has nice wallpapers too [08:32] Guest33167: yeah no problem, and you can get some from the package manager as I was saying [08:33] jpds: thanks [08:33] Daft_Punk: thanks for that to [08:33] thanks [08:33] Guest33167: make sure you see the screensavers you get in Ubuntu [08:33] Guest33167: most of them very beautiful [08:33] what screen savers??

I can still move around the cursor, but it doesn't move focus and clicks don't register, what's causing this? === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [08:39] hello [08:39] ah, BTS <3 I found the bug [08:40] oo [08:40] savvas: you still up? [08:41] hm. I'm trying to apt-get -f install and xulrunner1.9 is not installing [08:41] Hello , can anyone recommend me on tool to convert video files (wmv format) to other formats such avi etc.. ? [08:41] /var/lib/dpkg/info/xulrunner-1.9.postinst: 5: /usr/bin/xulrunner-1.9: not found [08:41] dpkg: error processing xulrunner-1.9 (--configure): [08:42] go to cnet.com and search for converters [08:42] youll find more than enough [08:42] and theyre all free [08:42] Shay26: ffmpeg [08:42] o wait im thinking windows.. heh [08:42] sry [08:42] anyone using thunar? [08:43] bnagy: try updating the repositories.. you may need to check whether your repositories are compatible at the same time [08:43] zubeen: yeah just did an update, using the main repo [08:44] !anyone | nikolaz [08:44] nikolaz: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [08:44] Shay26: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ffmpeg (please also take notice of medibuntu, that you might find interesting) [08:44] also did dpkg reconfigure all thing [08:44] hey i have a built-in cam on my laptop and tried to install the driver with easycam2 and everything worked out but when i tried to run it the video was not working properly, is it possible that the cam just isnt compatible? [08:44] bnagy: you are on which version? [08:45] rww: ok [08:45] can you introduce me a good tools for backing up of my file system and mysql? [08:45] 8.1 but it's the easy-peasy netbook ISO [08:45] im using thunar fila manager and i cannot copy any document to desktop.. why [08:45] what I _think_ I want to do is get an x86 binary of that file and just copy it into usr/bin [08:46] can I extract that from the package file somehow? [08:46] bnagy: eh.. it aint that simple.. [08:46] might be :) [08:47] or, alternatively, how do I look at the postinstall script and see what it's trying to do? [08:47] bnagy: Have you tried purging the package and trying again? [08:47] IntuitiveNipple: yes, and it broke sudo [08:47] which was an hour gone [08:47] hey is it possible to copy desktop files into the filesystem using gnome? [08:48] ..anyone [08:48] bnagy: lol... yes, I recall seeing you mention something about that earlier [08:48] :) [08:48] Rainium_Isotope_: Yes - start nautilus as root using Alt+F2 then "gksudo nautilus" [08:49] so savvas had me do a dpkg --configure --all or somesuch, which finally completed [08:49] and now I am kind of back at the start [08:49] bnagy: Hmmm, it sounds as if there's something gone wrong than just a few isolated package configuration issues. [08:49] what exactly will that do? [08:50] can you introduce me a good tools for backing up of my file system and mysql? [08:50] bnagy: Can you give us a quick outline of what happened leading up to this? [08:50] nothing, really, tried to run an update, firefox was in the list === Odo is now known as Guest97371 [08:50] I need help please , when i playing video files (avi ,wmv) the video flickering (i replaced the player to vlc but still the same problem) i using Ubuntu intrepid 8.10 [08:50] Rainium_Isotope_: Run nautilus with root privileges so you have write permissions into the / file-sytem === _odo is now known as Odo [08:50] firefix wants xulrunner [08:50] !backup [08:50] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [08:50] ahh ok thank you. [08:51] so I got the error I already pasted, and the first thing I tried was remove and reinstall :P [08:51] bnagy: It sounds as if the original update was upgrading sudo - that would explain the sudo break... I think :) [08:51] hi, i recently upgraded a machine from 8.04 to 8.10 and now when i do "sudo" it says : "sudo: pam_authenticate: Module is unknown" - any ideas? [08:51] quibbler: thank you [08:52] IntuitiveNipple: hm.. maybe.. when I removed xulrunner it removed a lot of stuff, and xul seems to be a dependency of sudo for some reason [08:52] so i figured that was what happened === Cueball is now known as Cueball_ [08:52] bnagy: Is it Intrepid? [08:52] but anyway, sudo is fixed now, so bygones and all [08:52] yes [08:52] bnagy: pretty sure xulrunner isn't a dependency of sudo =/ [08:52] bnagy: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install [08:53] how do i see what path g++ looks for headers in ? [08:53] savvas: yep, done that, same error :) [08:53] darn [08:53] bnagy: So the update is 1.9.0.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1 ? [08:53] How do I protect a virgin install of Hardy from internet attacks? [08:53] but the reconfigure finished :P [08:53] IntuitiveNipple: yes, that's right [08:53] n2diy: It's protected by default [08:54] does anyone know how to reset the bios password using linux? [08:54] bnagy: there's another way to do this, but it's a bit extreme, that is to "sudo aptitude purge ubuntu-standard ubuntu-desktop" and install it all over again: "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop" but I can't guarantee it won't bork your system even more :\ [08:54] yeek [08:55] I think I'll try just putting the binary there manually first [08:55] bnagy: My inclination would that the package has somehow been corrupted in apt's archive, but because the previous version's postinst script is still available, it has removed the old version but got stuck installing the new... that would explain the missing /usr/bin/xulrunner but [08:55] is songbird coming to the repositories? [08:55] bnagy: it keeps the ubuntu-minimal, which could be the console (ctrl+alt+f1), but I can't make any promises, sorry - at least we tried :) [08:55] bnagy: The way I'd do it, I'd tell dpkg/apt that xulrunner is no longer installed, then install from the .deb package [08:55] bn43: Turn your computer off, unplug it, remove the CMOS battery and leave it for a few minutes. [08:55] bn43: Use Linux to turn off the computer. Open the computer case, pull out the BIOS battery. [08:56] Does anyone else think that the single biggest thing outstanding that needs to work better is sound (recording, palyback over USB, speakers,mic port, whatever)? [08:56] its a laptop - can't get to the battery [08:56] rww: thats why I wanted to know if there is a tool in linux to do that [08:56] Where can I find the version of aptitude that has "Super Cow Powers"? [08:57] IntuitiveNipple: OK, sounds good - how do I do that? [08:57] bn43: BIOS passwords aren't generally resettable from Linux (or Windows or other operating systems).

Jaunty is updating and it's just stopped the bluetooth service so lost the mouse :) [08:57] bn43: of course you can get to the battery in a laptop. usually under they keyboard [08:57] rww: awwww [08:58] IntuitiveNipple: yes, and no, take a look at http://www.itsecurity.com/features/ubuntu-secure-install-resource/, I've gotten as far as installing chkrootkit, but can't figure out how to install it without exsposisg the box to the internenet? [08:58] rww: maybe the debian version has them then [08:58] hateball: thats a good tip - I'll have a look [08:59] n2diy: if you have your box behind any box that does NAT (stock adsl router) nobody can attack you directly [08:59] bnagy: that is what I'm trying to protect myself, and network, from. [09:00] ? [09:01] n2diy: what's with the super secrecy? [09:01] n2diy: what I mean is that even an insecure box will be OK if it's behind a NAt router [09:01] i m trying to install ejabberd on my lan [09:01] OK enough to DL updates anyway, just don't use a browser or any client program until you're updated [09:02] savvas: security, not secercy. [09:02] the jabber client would connect to the server on the same machine, but not on lan ! [09:02] hi [09:02] how do i know if this ubuntu im using now is LTS or desktop ubuntu? [09:03] lsb_release -a wont give me the exact detail [09:03] bnagy: roger that, how do I determine if I'm behind a NAT? [09:03] daughtree: which version does it say you're using [09:03] im having issues with my firefox, please help [09:03] n2diy, download the .deb for chkrootkit and all of it's dependencies, and copy them on a USB-stick for instance [09:03] n2diy: uh.. you don't know? I mean, how are you connected to the internet? Do you own the box that does the magic? [09:04] anyone ? [09:04] daughtree: If its version 8.04, thats an LTS version, although if you've installed from the standard desktop cd, you'll have a desktop version [09:04] bnagy: stupid question on my part. I want to protect the box before it goes live online, I'm connected via adsl. [09:04] bnagy: I don't agree with your "you're safe behind NAT" theory === Molecule is now known as iMolecule [09:05] petski: that's your right [09:05] n2diy: as I previously said, http://packages.ubuntu.com and you search for the packages you want.

I can use my laptop (to which I assign a static ip of 192.168.2.2) to ssh into the embedded box. ssh works fine. however when i pull up terminal, and try to ping the eth0 port on the box from my laptop (eg ping 192.168.99.100), I get an Network Unreachable error.

[09:33] ikonia: nope [09:33] ewj1976: ok - so nothing to do with ubuntu so not supported here [09:33] xnevermore: try removing some of the old kernels, there may be a bug in that if grub has more than $X kernels it cant update with update-grub [09:33] Okay, just curious, since crunchbang IS ubuntu with a few extra things installed. [09:33] ewj1976: ok - so nothing to do with ubuntu so not supported here [09:34] ikonia: just remove them through synaptic?

There is a filesystem in Linux, which helps you to avoid all the hassle with drive letters. I cannot see why you should not be able to create an arbitary directory tree in Linux.

[11:53] n2diy: its only as secure as its config [11:53] !pinning [11:53] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others.

[11:53] n2diy, Windows is secure if you configure it right [11:53] thank you [11:54] n2diy: so you can only really say that, I could lock down a windows box loads then leave a linux box fully uncontrolled,which is more secure now? [11:54] ActionParsnip1: Exactly, and I can't config Ubuntu, without exsposing it to the internet, it's a Catch-22 [11:54] remoteCTRL, please ask the channel :) [11:54] bazhang: been doing so:-/ [11:54] n2diy: well then you must draw your security line lower as it is currently unfeasibly high [11:54] n2diy, it's secure-by-default when it comes to network services [11:55] n2diy, only open service is avahi-daemon which ignores internet packets [11:55] and that service won't show on port scans [11:55] remoteCTRL, as indalivingroom? is that you? [11:55] n2diy: your security solution is hugely unrealistic. Do you have a tinfoil hat too? [11:55] I tried to ask in #mysql , but they don't support infobot [11:55] Where shall i then try? [11:56] hi, is there any way to prevent the update manager to upgrade a package ?

They are old-releases now all.

Gates on lead vocals? [12:01] creative83, and you updated the sources.list?

[12:03] ActionParsnip1, * [12:03] n2diy: so you get the system upgraded to the latest stuff. How does it sell a secure system. "look this system hasnt been on the web and its not been intruded. Isnt it secure" [12:03] Favorit: my plan is to rescue/salvage old hardware, and put it back online. I'm paranoid about selling stuff as secure, when I'm not confident it is.

[12:24] rww: Arrgh. do-release update always uncomments the line I'm commenting in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/prerequists-sources.list [12:24] illumin8: I would advise ext3 if you care about your data [12:24] giaco_: then maybe rsync would work [12:24] rww, was yesterday, just a bit impatient [12:24] ext3 it is :) [12:25] bdenning, Thanks :) [12:25] grobda24, gnome or xfce? [12:25] rww, thanks [12:25] solexious: apparently. Anyway, if you decide to waste your time compiling from source, remove the deluge package completely first. [12:25] p1oooop, after that, I should find a program that traces the differences between files, like rsync.

[13:06] logging is enabled, ActionParsnip1 [13:06] owh [13:07] int256, and keep the data? [13:07] Dr_willis: ya [13:07] Dr_Willis no amd64 version of httptrack but ty anyway. [13:07] int256: format it AFTER you copy all the data to another partition [13:07] server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd/error.log", the thing is that I'm working with server.chroot but that should not affect my problem? [13:07] int256: you'll need something like ntfstools [13:07] !info ntfstools [13:07] Package ntfstools does not exist in intrepid [13:07] hi! Good morning! [13:08] ActionParsnip1: no way to format without data loss [13:08] int256: no as formatting will wipe the data as the structure will change [13:08] int256, good luck with that. I dont think its possible. partition magic MIGHT be able to do that.. but even then.. I would backup the data befor trying it. [13:09] does a linux version of partition magic is available [13:09] Well...., i using 8.04 and i would like to update to 8.10. is it recommended? === filipe is now known as Filipe_Skol [13:09] D_likescookies, I just installed the 64bit version here....

But you can do it if you want to. [13:10] ActionParsnip1: ok [13:11] the error is : file_.asx could not be opened because there is no associated helper application etc.. [13:11] will the next ubuntu release use the newly released lenny debian? Also what are the advantages of ubuntu over debian if i wanted to try it out [13:11] tux: open it with vlc [13:11] Of debian ovwr ubuntu i mean [13:12] !debian [13:12] Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!

[13:12] the same problem would apply to intrepid : how do i install ubuntu from an external hd ? [13:12] I know what debian is [13:12] ActionParsnip1, i did if you read my first sentence above [13:12] int256, sudo apt-get install gparted [13:12] int256: sudo apt-get install gparted [13:12] ActionParsnip1, hey im having issues streaming a .asx file with vlc player, it used to work [13:12] n2diy: i would like to use gnome 2.24 and this is the unique solution. Do you agree? [13:12] Fiftyone: Please read the entire factoid from ubottu [13:12] the link is http://live.heanet.ie/oireachtas/dail_broadband.asx [13:12] trying to teach him to fish guys, stop throwing him trout [13:12] Dr_Willis didn't see it. O-o ty again. [13:13] Most of my directories in '/' have a "Stale NFS file handle", though I don't use NFS, is there any way to fix this? [13:13] fair enough :) [13:13] Fiftyone: if you read the factoid there is a link on the differences [13:13] hi all [13:13] ActionParsnip1: but it does to support formating to NTFS [13:13] int256: if you install a few packages it does [13:14] ActionParsnip1: which [13:14] int256: sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs [13:14] ok i know the differencea there are many places to read about it, i want to know from people who have used both [13:14] engemec: sorry, no I can't agree, I only use the LTS versions of Ubuntu, so I haven't explorered 8.10, or gnome 2.24. [13:14] that was so tempting ActionParsnip1 [13:14] Thats why i asked [13:14] ActionParsnip1: ok [13:14] how do i set root password? [13:14] since i saw that on the page i read lol [13:14] D_likescookies, its spelt funny :) [13:14] i just installed ubuntu [13:14] heej itry once again, could anybody [13:14] Fiftyone: ive only used ubuntu, gentoo, mandriva, puppy and DSL [13:14] the_holstar_: Normally you don't use sudo instead. [13:15] the_holstar_: sudo passwd but i dont know if you want this really [13:15] !sudo | the_holstar_ [13:15] the_holstar_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) [13:15] show me fstab (if u use samba)? === Filipe_Skol is now known as filipe [13:15] the_holstar_: you dont [13:15] !root | the_holstar_ [13:15] the_holstar_: 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 [13:15] !noroot | DIFH-iceroot the_holstar_ [13:15] DIFH-iceroot the_holstar_: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [13:15] Pici: i am nearly here 24/7 ;) [13:15] ActionParsnip1: Semantics :P [13:15] Pici: dont blame me, i was answering his question with a text which warns to use it [13:16] ActionParsnip1: does it support formating to NTFS without data loss [13:16] wtf, internet works only for pinging and nothing more. 8.04 [13:16] Fiftyone, I have debian 5.0 on a seperate partition, it allow you superb controll over the system and is customized based on your options installed. But ubuntu is far more user friendly and a good place to get your bearings [13:16] int256: thats what we told you, you have to backup the data first, then convert, then write back [13:16] Arjuna: can you ping names and ip addresses [13:16] ok [13:16] yes [13:17] n2diy: Hum... this is my doubt. i like LTS versions and i had problems with releases versions, but.... i would like to test gnome 2.24 and not more. Thanks a lot. I'll continue using my 8.04 until 11.04. [13:17] hi, i am searching a good network monitor, i need it to know who is communicating with my PC and their IP ... any suggestion? [13:17] dns works and routing but only for ping [13:17] i cant use apt or firefox [13:17] Arjuna: can you telnet to: www.google.com 80 [13:17] no [13:17] i tried allready [13:17] engemec: fine business, that is my plan too. [13:17] presshere, I believe wireshark would do that. [13:17] cant resolve www.google.com/80 [13:18] Arjuna: that's not a website [13:18] Arjuna: have you configured a firewall? [13:18] n2diy: did you use remastersys? [13:18] illumin8 thx, i will try [13:18] Arjuna: www.google.com 80 - not www.google.com/80 [13:18] Arjuna: the port number needs a space not a / [13:18] engemec: no, what is that? [13:18] i know [13:18] thats the output [13:18] did anyone get php5-ffmpeg to work from the repositories ? [13:19] With remastersys, you can create your recovery disk system automaticaly. [13:19] n2diy: With remastersys, you can create your recovery disk system automaticaly. [13:19] $sudo passwd root would this command work? [13:19] Arjuna: can you ping www.google.com [13:19] thats the output : could not resolve www.google.com === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [13:19] i can ping it [13:19] to enable root`s password/ [13:19] Arjuna: ok so to clarify, you can ping IPs and Ping names which resolve successfully, but http traffic via firefox is no good and apt-getting is no good [13:19] Arjuna: how can you ping a site you can't resolve [13:19] do anybody know something about mounting samba files? [13:19] when ever i install any software using apt-get command it says to download JDK documentation. [13:20] i can resolv only for ping [13:20] the_holstar_, You should use sudo (command) instead of enableing root [13:20] hi i've a question related NDOutils any exp here? [13:20] thats how it looks like here [13:20] lecta-fils: ask away [13:20] illumin8 can you type an example [13:20] thanks [13:20] i have no clue [13:20] Arjuna: are you connected to a router? [13:20] yup [13:20] Arjuna: can yo http to that ? [13:20] *you [13:20] the_holstar_, Sure, to install say Wireshark type "sudo apt-get install wireshark" in terminal minus the quotes [13:20] n2diy: you'll have many options. With your files, only system, system and programs..... very interesting.. [13:21] ye [13:21] the_holstar_: Please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo it explains how to use sudo [13:21] samba, do you like samba, do you want to learn more via thinking about my problem :P ? [13:21] Arjuna: then your router is funny as http traffic can flow in and out of your system freely [13:21] the_holstar_, Sudo means "super user do" (to the best of my knowledge) and is basicly root [13:21] engemec: hmm, haven't heard of tha before. I played with mondo, that is advertised as a backup and recovery solution, but that was a couple of years ago, and it wasn't ready for prime time.. I'll have to look into remasteringsys. I just setup a test box, so Ican play with stuff like that now. [13:21] illumin8: close enough [13:22] the_holstar_: if you need power use sudo or for gui apps, use gksudo [13:22] the_holstar_: keeping the root account disabled makes your system massively more secure [13:22] ok [13:22] thanks [13:22] i am testing as a home use [13:22] so i want to enable root [13:22] the_holstar_: plus it limits the amout of apps that have root power which further protects you [13:22] the_holstar_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:23] hmm [13:23] ActionParsnip1, funny is that on my debian box witch is connected to lan1 everything works great, on lan2 with ubuntu 8.04 i have this problem [13:23] ActionParsnip1: sorry for this but disable root with ssh is secure enough [13:23] I think i am not flooding :S [13:23] the_holstar_: if you *need* to be root, you can use "sudo -i" [13:23] the_holstar_: as a standard user you dont need root access to browse and chat, if the account is sat accessible it makes you more vulnerable [13:23] ActionParsnip1, router is firmwared with OpenWrt [13:23] Hello i have a serious problem concerning audio [13:23] brb [13:24] Arjuna: whatever your system's gateway is is not giving the ubuntu system its requested html conent but will allow pings [13:24] My hardware ok tested o vista onboard [13:24] Recnetly tried to fix it and now no sound comes... [13:24] Arjuna: maybe if you use a public proxy (just to test) it may work [13:24] n2diy: remastersys = this is the correct name! One more time...... Thanks a lot. I'll follow your tip. [13:24] ActionParsnip1, will tru [13:24] ActionParsnip1, will try [13:25] engemec: roger that, ty, gl. [13:25] Arjuna: the fact you can http to an internal device means your browser is ok and traffic can get in and out of your system so is not an ubuntu issue [13:25] anyone help me to manage this? [13:25] ActionParsnip1: , Arjuna, a DHCP issue? [13:26] I can't use sudo: send-mail: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory [13:26] n2diy, i had some problems with avahi thing and so [13:26] ErikWestrup: your postfix installation seems to be screwed [13:26] Whys is this? does sudo use postfix? [13:26] Arjuna, majbe if i turn off ipv6 , but dont know how to do it [13:26] Anyone? :) [13:26] I can't fix it, since it won't let me sudo :S [13:27] Ubeginner, Is your sound card intigrated or dedicated? [13:27] illumin8: onboard [13:27] integrated [13:27] Ubeginner, And you say it worked fine in microsoft? [13:27] Question: I am using LyX 1.6.1 on Jaunty right now, and recently the highlighting text in LyX stopped working. Each time I hightlight and let go the left mouse button the highlight goes away.. any ideas on what to do? [13:27] illumin8: yes definetely [13:28] Ubeginner: if you run lspci in terminal, what is the single line that identifies the card? [13:28] !info lspci [13:28] Package lspci does not exist in intrepid [13:28] hmm? [13:28] huh [13:29] illumin8: its a terminal command, try it [13:29] remind where to copy it for a look? [13:29] got alot more than one line of feedback [13:29] !pastebin [13:29] 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) [13:29] illumin8: true but one line will identify your soundcard [13:30] illumin8: you can grep it too [13:30] Ah yes. i see that. good to know command :) [13:30] illumin8: lspci | grep -i vga [13:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/119666/ [13:30] illumin8: its great when someones h/w doesnt work, tells you what it is [13:30] actually, lspci -vvv is more effective in this case [13:30] Ubeginner, use pastebin and post the link here so we can see what the terminal spit out. [13:30] gives a bit mor einfo [13:30] illumin8: i done that already :) [13:31] ActionParsnip1: Ubeginner, lshw is handy too. [13:31] AC 97 audo controller [13:31] nvidia audio was supported iirc, but I think you need nvidia native drivers yet again [13:31] illumin8: so whats next? :) [13:31] Yep i had to install them on my system too [13:32] They probably know a faster way but i believe the method is to enable nvidia support drivers by running your add remove software tool under applications [13:32] hi all! [13:32] hi [13:32] people, i'm rum tasksel [13:32] you would then get a popup that asks if you want to enable nvidia driver support (choose the recommended package) === r_ is now known as Guest40526 [13:32] nvidia/ati stories suck. why don't they just package their drivers into some repo's... every 2nd person who comes in here has problems installing those drivers [13:32] A4Tech: congratulations! :) [13:32] They update so fast is probably why [13:32] hehe [13:33] illumin8: well, not like you need to re-write packaging scripts or whatnot every time you update. just build those automagically and let people apt-get those ;) [13:33] illumin8:it doesn give such [13:33] Ubeginner: according to: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=961453 apt-get install --reinstall pulseaudio [13:33] Favorit: i can't install ... Audio creation and editing suite [13:33] anyone familiar with stunnel? [13:33] Favorit and 2D/3D creation and editing suite [13:33] reinstalling pulseaudio installs nvidia? [13:34] illumin8: it makes the sound work apparently [13:34] Favorit well conceived or what? [13:34] jadams: pretty familiar, not an expert tho. what's the prob? [13:34] )) [13:34] Huh [13:34] ActionParsnip1: ok ill try [13:34] A4Tech: no clue to be honest :) I almost never saw linux graphical ;) /me - console maestro [13:34] A4Tech: hence never used any multimedia apps [13:35] and after that i guess it need to be restarted? [13:35] Just going to the login screen should fix it. [13:35] Ubeginner: make sure you are fully updated with: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [13:35] After you run the sudo command that is [13:35] Ubeginner: not necessarily, drivers are modular. [13:35] Favorit, when I run /etc/init.d/stunnel start, then do ps ax|grep stun it doesn't show up. There's nothing in messages, or syslog, or the stunnel logs [13:36] jadams: do you have any configuration for it to start with? [13:36] jadams: check /etc/default/stunnel4 - by default it's in ENABLED=0 [13:36] Hello. Back again. I don't know what kind of damage nautilus locking up caused, but now I can no longer mount my USB ext3 drive .... when I do my USB mouse becomes almost unusable (slow) and the log has entries about USB errors and "IRQ 17 is disabled". Anyone ? [13:36] ActionParsnip1, I notice some people use ; and some use && to seperate commands in terminal, whats the diffirence [13:36] jadams: that's what you need to tweak to start with [13:36] jadams: enable logging for the app and read the logs when it fails [13:37] illumin8: ; means "do this, then that" && means "do this then ONLY do that if this passes successfully" [13:37] Favorit but rather how do I install these applications? I want to see that there are [13:37] grobda24: detach and reattach USB drive, with a bit of luck it will get a new IRQ [13:37] A4Tech: do you know the name of the packages? [13:37] ActionParsnip1, good to know, so its a if then command (&&) [13:37] nfigurazione ora se lo reinstallo non mi ricrea la cartella i files di configurazione dentro etc [13:37] A4Tech: if so, just sudo apt-get install [13:37] a [13:38] illumin8: yeah just makes sure all previos steps passed ok [13:38] Favorit, hmmm ... I think I tried that, not sure ... trying again. [13:38] Favorit that time and again that I do not know:) [13:38] hi [13:38] hello [13:38] Favorit, ActionParsnip1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/119671/ [13:38] hi to all from cold austria :) [13:38] A4Tech: dunno, man, i'm sorry :) [13:38] i'm italian [13:39] Sorry it didnt help [13:39] eh =( [13:39] jadams: well, see the last line [13:39] i have a huge problem with my audio since the last updates [13:39] !it delisac [13:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about it delisac [13:39] euh [13:39] Favorit, I don't know what that line means is the point... [13:39] !it [13:39] 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) [13:39] what? [13:39] byebye [13:39] =) [13:40] i tryed to reinstall pulseaudio and it didnt work [13:40] jadams: it means that you want it to run as an inetd-slave, i.e. it will only be invoked for services defined in inetd, and for that you need to configure it in a different way === nims2 is now known as nims [13:40] jadams: how to configure it would depend on what you want to achieve with it [13:40] ActionParsnip1, why would router not forward ubuntu box dont understand, maybe is dhcp issue [13:40] Favorit, mysql master/slave replication [13:41] Favorit, yeah, that did it. I rebooted and reattached numerous times ... but it does it now ? I've had this error before. Nautilus crashes and something gets out of sync until it is reset by some mysterious process. Is this a known problem ? [13:41] Arjuna: possibly, check ifconfig on ubuntu and ipconfig on windows to check ips [13:41] ActionParsnip1: you mentioned before some apt-get commands to me...if its not hard for you could you remind me again? [13:41] Arjuna: maybe you have a conflicting mac address [13:41] grobda24: probably irq balancing isn't working that well on your hardware. I'm not sure what the reason is exactly [13:41] Arjuna: what OS is your router? [13:41] OpenWrt [13:41] sudo apt-get install --reinstall pulseaudio [13:42] Arjuna: and it does route other machines? [13:42] ActionParsnip1: it didnt work out for me [13:42] yup [13:42] !sound | UBeginner [13:42] Favorit, IRQ balancing ? I'll look it up. It only happens after a Nautilus crash though. [13:42] UBeginner: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [13:42] never had a problem [13:42] hi, which was the command to switch between resolutions in X? [13:42] grobda24: well, something forces your drive on the same irq as your mouse and your USB bus width isn't fast enough to process both [13:43] grobda24: (from what I heard of your story, and I wasn't following from the beginning) [13:43] !resolution | elpargo [13:43] elpargo: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [13:43] Favorit, yes, that sounds about right :) [13:43] Arjuna: what do you mean not forwarding btw? you have no internet at all? [13:44] thanks ActionParsnip1 [13:44] Arjuna: can you ping the default gateway? If you look at "route -n", is your default gateway set correct, i.e. it's IP of owrt? [13:44] elpargo: ctrl+alt +, and ctrl+alt - [13:44] how can I use wget to download just *.png files in any folders in a http?] [13:45] Favorit, yea on ubuntu box i dont have interenet at all [13:45] Favorit, but on this debian box it works ok for past 2 yers [13:45] Favorit, yes everything looks ok [13:45] dhcp.leases on router looks ok [13:45] Arjuna: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:45] n2diy: ahhh yes those where the ones. [13:45] n2diy isnt that only in kde environments? [13:45] umm n2diy it ain't working for me. [13:45] Arjuna: euh, that sounds weird. wireless or wired? [13:45] wired [13:46] illumin8: no, it works in gnome, but not as well as it used to. Worked fine in Dapper, but Hardy is a crap shoot. [13:46] even weirder :) [13:46] !enter | Arjuna [13:46] Arjuna: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [13:46] ok i guess my alsa is working couse mplayer is playing but i cant hear anything..? [13:46] hello the chan [13:46] Arjuna, broadband ? BSNL ? [13:47] If I hear salsa, I have a working ALSA! (c) urban wisdom [13:47] cable, but this does not matter i think [13:47] Favorit: help me to hear my salsa :D [13:47] I'm having such a small resolution I can't even read it... I should note that I'm not running gdm/ubuntu just plain X with a custom WM [13:47] Arjuna, maybe you need to setup the stuff manually [13:48] Arjuna: indeed, cable or not it doesn't matter. and if you try to traceroute somewhere on the net, like my favorite test host 193.0.0.193, where does it stop? at your router? [13:48] alpargo, It doesn't work well now, compared to Dapper. Some browsers support it better than otheers. Epiphany has a zoom tool on its task bar. [13:48] hi, i am having problems getting ubuntu to display in 1440x900 resolution. I have the latest 180.29 Nvidia drivers. [13:48] NIT[L]: what is exactly the problem? [13:48] NIT[L]: X doesn't start, or you don't see the resolution in the list? [13:48] Hey, does anyone know where in Ubuntu the Eliza chatbot keeps its script? [13:48] Favorit, no traceroute gose through router [13:49] Favorit: I cant see 1440x900 in the list in the Nivida x server settings [13:49] elpargo, http://ubuntuswitch.blogspot.com/2008/01/create-shortcuts-to-change-desktop.html [13:49] Ok Guys thank you all it work right now but is mute bug fixed already? [13:49] Favorit, i tell u, its strangest problem ever, i can ping, nslookup the internet , but cant use firefox or apt-get [13:50] Arjuna: ah, so traceroute goes further than the router.... [13:50] Arjuna: maybe you have an invalid http proxy defined [13:50] Favorit, i changed /network/interfaces file so i dont have eth0 or eth1 in [13:51] erUSUL, i dont use proxy [13:51] Arjuna: , Favorit, a DNS issue? [13:51] n2diy, i think it has something to do with avahi and network manager [13:51] Favorit: any suggestions as to how to get 1440x900? [13:51] Arjuna, can you ping google? [13:52] Arjuna: but if by mistake it is defined somewhere apt-get and firefox can fail for that reason [13:52] arvind_khadri, yes i can ping all internet machines and even nslookup them [13:52] Arjuna: ok, I'm just guessing, and not really following what you folks are doing. [13:52] NIT[L], your monitor supports 1440x900? [13:52] illumin8: yes [13:52] Arjuna, do sudo dhclient once...and then check [13:52] Hey, does anyone know where in Ubuntu the Eliza chatbot keeps its script? [13:52] NIT[L], do you have the nvidia restricted drivers enabled? [13:53] NIT[L], assuming your using nvidia card that is :) [13:53] arvind_khadri, renewd but things are the same [13:53] illumin8: I have installed 180.29 (and yes its nvidia) [13:53] Hi got a question about system disk and size :) [13:53] Favorit, I have stunnel working on the master now (enabled=1, had no idea), but now on the slave I get You should check that you have specified the pid= in you configuration file [13:53] NIT[L], it should allow selection of the new screen resolution then, is it not? [13:53] Arjuna, a weird issue.... [13:54] arvind_khadri, totaly [13:54] Arjuna, did you try googling? [13:54] NIT[L]: did you try "xrandr -s 1440x900" (or just xrandr to get a list of supported resolutions from your monitor) ? [13:54] arvind_khadri, yea [13:54] illumin8: it allows some resolutions in the nvidia x server settings, but not 1440 [13:54] Arjuna, something came up? [13:54] arvind_khadri, nope [13:54] :D [13:54] Arjuna, hmm... which ubuntu? [13:55] 8,04 [13:55] what the hell is with my network now... [13:55] glitsj16: Size 1440x900 not found in available modes [13:55] my monitor is 100% 1440 x 900 [13:55] Arjuna: hmm [13:55] NIT[L], what type of monitor do you have? [13:56] Favorit, now after dhclient i got avahi:eth1 (wireless) interface up [13:56] NIT[L], and grapics card if you dont mind [13:56] illumin8: LG 19inch 16:9 [13:56] Arjuna, working with other versions of Ubuntu? [13:56] NIT[L]: manually add it to xorg.conf [13:56] illumin8: geforce 8400M (notebook) [13:56] ActionParsnip1: how would i do that, very new to linux [13:56] Arjuna: and what does apt-get say for instance? [13:56] cant resolve [13:56] Arjuna: eth1 is wireless? [13:57] NIT[L]: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:57] n2diy, ye but isnt in use [13:57] ActionParsnip1: ok got it open, now how do i add my resolution? [13:57] NIT[L]: if you look for resolutions and add a new one to the list (make it appear as the leftmost value) it will be ok [13:57] Arjuna:Ok, this is just screwed, I can't do anything. what the hell is my datacenter doing [13:57] n2diy, it must be some avahi, network manager, roaming issue [13:57] Arjuna: I thought wireless was wlanX, or something like that? [13:58] n2diy, nope can be eth1 too, it is intels 2100 card [13:58] ActionParsnip1: this is what my xorg.conf looks like http://paste.ubuntu.com/119677/ [13:58] Arjuna: what does ifconfig think it is? [13:58] Hey, does anyone know where in Ubuntu the Eliza chatbot keeps its script? [13:58] n2diy, eth1 and avahi:eth1 [14:00] Favorit, I have stunnel running on the master server. Doing roughly the same thing on the slave didn't get it running, I get You should check that you have specified the pid= in you configuration file but I totally have it specified [14:01] ActionParsnip1: How would i add 1440x900 in my xorg.conf? [14:01] every configuration i configure in network manager internet works only for pinging [14:01] yo yo yo [14:01] ActionParsnip1: How would i add 1440x900 in my xorg.conf? [14:01] Favorit, nevermind, it was writing to the logs finally, easy to fix [14:02] http://paste.ubuntu.com/119677/ my xorg.conf [14:02] NIT[L]: you arent using any vido drivers [14:02] i configured nsswitch.conf on line hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns [14:02] illumin8: awesome xrandr -s worked! [14:02] NIT[L]: did you install the nvidia stuff earlier via apt-get? [14:02] ActionParsnip1: I am, i installed 180.29 ;) [14:02] elpargo, great, glad i could help :) [14:02] NIT[L]: ok thats cool, now run: gksudo nvidia-settings [14:03] NIT[L]: if those arent compatible you may have to install the 177 ones [14:03] NIT[L]: are you being told to run a command as root? [14:03] Hello there [14:04] I got an update notification in Hardy for Sudo. Is this legit. [14:04] !hi | Misterwho [14:04] Misterwho: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [14:04] Next1, Yes i got one also [14:04] Next1: yep got it last night === filipe is now known as filipe[AWAY] [14:04] NIT[L]: then back in terminal run: sudo nvidia-xconfig [14:04] ActionParsnip1: it asked for a password [14:04] I'm new at this channel - having trouble making my wifi card run on the latest version of Ubuntu. It has a Prism2 chipset. Anyone can direct me to some page, howto or tutorial that can help me? Thanks [14:04] yes type in your login password [14:04] Thanks [14:04] Hello I have been upgrading/installing some programs via source, ie using config,make,make install because they are newer versions of the programs found in the repos. Is there a way to have apt know about them? [14:05] How do I change the "mouse-resize-button" from middle to right button (if at all possible)? === rp3_ is now known as rp3 [14:05] Next1: sudo is a program just like any other [14:05] Misterwho, what version of ubuntu exaclty 8.04 or 8.10 and 32 bit or 64 bit? [14:05] !mouse | s-toned [14:05] s-toned: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [14:05] grr [14:05] illumin8: 8.10 32bit [14:05] ActionParsnip1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/119680/ [14:05] hi, let's say i would like to do an 'ls' then echo the files in a text file.. any ideas? [14:06] illumin8: If it can be done only with the CD it would be great - the machine is nowhere near a switch [14:06] dsdeiz, ls > file.txt [14:06] phew [14:06] NIT[L]: don't sweat it, ok hit ctrl+alt+backspace and you should see the nvidia logo [14:06] I find it interesting to note that primo pdf supports windows 98 but has no version available for linux. [14:06] they are finally done with screwing up their network [14:06] odinsbane, you cant... [14:06] !latest > odinsbane [14:06] odinsbane, please see my private message [14:06] Redragon: theres acroread for linux from adobe, or xpdf for linux [14:06] cool, tnx [14:07] !checkinstall > odinsbane [14:07] Thank you [14:07] Redragon: as well as the others like kpdf [14:07] Redragon: the one from adobe isnt OSS [14:07] ActionParsnip1, OO too can read them right? [14:07] arvind_khadri: not sure, i always use acroread [14:07] Pici, can we make apt look at packages which we have compiled [14:08] ActionParsnip1, i do use OO :) it does [14:08] there is still no acroread 9 for linux... [14:08] arvind_khadri: nice, I use OO but not to read pdf [14:08] arvind_khadri: We can sort of let dpkg know about them, but its not foolproof. [14:08] !checkinstall [14:08] checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [14:09] fabio_: i'm on 8.1.3 [14:09] but there is acroread 9 for windows [14:09] Pici, cool... is it new? [14:09] try acrobat reader 9 under wine: it's faster than 8 for linux [14:09] mibbittester: hello [14:09] fabio_: run it through wine, i doubt there are huge differences for a casual pdf viewer [14:10] ActionParsnip1: acrobat reader 9 is a killer application [14:10] fabio_: but how much ram does it use ;) [14:10] hey i got server os installed, i have 2 x 750 gig on my server, but its only picking one up, anyway of getting the other one working? [14:10] arvind_khadri: not at all [14:10] disable all the plugins, little memory usage [14:11] fabio_: not with wine bundled in as well [14:11] juDGEY: do they show in sudo fdisk -l? [14:11] ActionParsnip1: you have enough memory... ii suppose [14:11] fabio_: i like small and punchy, if i dodnt mind bloat i'd use windows [14:12] ActionParsnip1 here is the output [14:12] http://pastebin.com/m6f9e22bd [14:12] juDGEY: do the drives detect ok in bios? [14:12] Pici, cool...didnt know about it. [14:12] ActionParsnip1: me too, but what about evince using hundreds of ram with some pdf ? [14:12] Hey, does anyone know where in Ubuntu the Eliza chatbot keeps its script? [14:12] how do i get amule to download faster it tells me i have a low id h [14:12] its an off site server [14:12] juDGEY: looks like 2 drives to me, sda and sdb [14:13] fabio_: i dont use that so i couldnt comment [14:13] ActionParsnip1: no problem but Adobe sucks [14:13] hey, i just got an update notice for sudo, is it legit? [14:13] think about the flash plugin... [14:14] fabio_: they make flash plugins nice though ;) [14:14] 这个聊天都是能干什么阿？ [14:14] think about Photoshop running only for win and mac... [14:15] fabio_: im not interested in that sort of thing [14:15] fabio_, yep, i have a virtualbox XP to develop in flash. sucks. [14:18] we need cleatype for linux [14:18] ActionParsnip1: it has reverted my resolution to 640x480 === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [14:19] how do i get amule to download faster it telling me i have a low -id [14:19] shausam27: no incoming connection so... [14:19] hey everyone [14:20] NIT[L]: thats fine, run gksudo nvidia-settings [14:20] Just curious...If a person wanted to learn how to do some basic progamming, where might they find a tutorial that would point them in the right direction? [14:20] fabio how do i fix it [14:21] shausam27: check your ports, maybe there is a firewall rule [14:21] ActionParsnip1: ok [14:22] ActionParsnip1: it still doesnt show my res [14:23] NIT[L]: did you see the nvidia logo when you booted? [14:23] fabio i not sure how to is there some where i can turn of fire wall [14:23] ActionParsnip1: I dont think so, brb lemme reboot the system. Needs a reboot for updates anyway [14:25] Hello, I am using mint6 based on intrepid, on installing mysql-server i got error......... pastebin........http://pastebin.com/m44b45d83 [14:25] ActionParsnip1: No, remapping the mouse buttons isn't that good, because it would move the clipboard-pasting from middle to right button too, which I wouldn't like. [14:26] s-toned: thats all i got [14:27] how do i turn off firewall or ajust it to let me down faster on amule [14:28] hey, i just got an update notice for sudo, is it legit? [14:28] tesseracter: yes === filipe[AWAY] is now known as filipe [14:28] shausam27: i use firestarter.....there is an option to stop firewall there [14:29] ActionParsnip1: no logo, but the drivers are enabled [14:29] Hello World [14:29] ActionParsnip1: A patch for metacity would do the job, but I'd rather stick with the repositories. Maybe I'll kick metacity, but I don't know (yet) what to use instead. [14:29] there is al little circular icon in the top right hand portion of my panel, sometimes it is green others right now it is red with white lines inside it. Whats up with that icon? [14:29] s-toned: fluxbox ;) [14:30] NIT[L]: then nvidia-settings will allow you to configure stuff [14:30] Hello, I am using mint6 based on intrepid, on installing mysql-server i got error......... pastebin........http://pastebin.com/m44b45d83 [14:31] the amule tells me i am useing buddy as a firewal but icsn not seem to find it [14:31] !mint | chinmay [14:31] chinmay: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [14:31] ActionParsnip1: i just get 2 resolutions, two very small ones [14:31] NIT[L]: i'd try the 177 driver instead [14:31] ubottu: thanks [14:31] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [14:31] NIT[L]: make sure the kernel source is installed too (for the nvidia) [14:32] ActionParsnip1: how do i do that [14:32] NIT[L]: dpkg -l | grep nvidia | grep source [14:32] are the settings in compizconfig settings manager saved to a settings file? [14:32] gonna try 177 driver [14:33] when I want to switch between using an rt kernel and a generic one, do the same modules get loaded each time? It seems every time I get a new kernel I have to reinstall my video driver. [14:33] Ryder51: if you have it set that way yes, i think the default is to use the gconf db [14:33] where is the actually used Gnome Theme saved? in the gconf? [14:33] is buddy a firewall [14:33] gnome-theme as foo.theme not gtkrc [14:33] there is al little circular icon in the top right hand portion of my panel, sometimes it is green others right now it is red with white lines inside it. Whats up with that icon? [14:33] Silicium, .theme or .themes i think [14:34] yea there is it saved [14:34] hi, i enabled UserDir module and put one domain in sites-available and create a link in sites-enabled. but when i surf that domain apache direct me to apache2-default page. how can i fix it? [14:34] hello - how can I permanently disable the system beep? I do not ever want it to beep. Ever. [14:34] but where is defined wich one should be used? [14:34] How do I prevent a certain partition from being mounted? [14:34] hwilde: xset b off [14:34] hwilde: this in autorun [14:34] hwilde, you have ubuntu?

[14:34] hwilde: yea, in xterm [14:34] hwilde, I mean compiz fusion [14:35] or automated in a xinitscript [14:35] hwilde: or blacklist the pcspkr module [14:35] hello, does anybody know how to make gnome-panel display no icons? [14:35] Silicium, no, across all programs, system wide [14:35] thats really weird.... [14:35] hateball, ahh now we are talkin [14:35] hwilde: cut the speaker cord ;) [14:35] hwilde: no, you can do system>preferences>sound [14:35] rm /dev/dsp [14:35] hwilde: >sounds [14:35] macondo, remove it from fstab [14:35] argh [14:35] thanks though. I just noticed it today. It would make sense to as I use pidgin alot === elrob_ is now known as elrob [14:35] macondo, I am in system pref sounds... what there ? [14:35] hwilde, go to the general compiz options [14:35] and uncheck "audible bell" [14:35] The Currentyl User theme file, Where is this defined? [14:35] odder, you should be able to remove everything that's on it [14:35] arvind_khadri: it's not in /etc/fstab because it's an external hdd, [14:35] in witch file?

[14:36] macondo, yeah I unchecked speaker and it still beeps. like here in xchat if I hit delete with no txt [14:36] hwilde: you could do "sudo rmmod pcspkr" [14:36] Jufis, I think you are off track. thanks anyways [14:37] hwilde: did you uncheck the play alerts and play sound? [14:37] hwilde, I disabled it from there and now more beeps when I hit delete in xchat with no text :) [14:37] hateball, ??? for what reason are you suggesting the at? [14:37] arvind_khadri: can I just comment them out? [14:37] Seven_Six_Two: okay, I need to be more specific. I want the application-list applet display text only [14:37] Jufis, I have no options on appearance... where do you get to this setting? [14:37] arvind_khadri: they are not in /etc/fstab [14:37] arvind_khadri: if there's no need for the pcspkr [14:37] macondo, you can do so only when they are inserted...fstab is realtime [14:37] compengi, xara extreme, blender, gnupaint, kpaint, krita [14:37] arvind_khadri: they are mounted, and fstab doesn't show them [14:38] hateball, where is the blacklist ? [14:38] hateball, he just wants to remove the beep not the entire sound [14:38] hwilde, http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/08/04/replace-the-system-beep-with-a-compiz-effect/ [14:38] glitsj16 : is there a way to set that profile via termi9nal [14:38] macondo, just a sec. [14:38] *terminal [14:38] my xchat beeps at me, thunderbird beeps, all kinds of stuff is beeping. I want the pc speaker DEAD [14:38] arvind_khadri: what else do you use pcspkr for? most of us have soundcards anyhow...

D: [15:10] ikonia, ahh it's not so good because i've tried to mount it, but it doesnt work :P [15:10] Spanglegluppet, the issue would be the delay in trackers [15:10] kikokos: then that is nothing to do with mc [15:11] ikonia, so just smbc will work?

[15:13] need_help23: then follow the guide to install the codecs [15:13] quibbler: I will tell you after you have answered my question. [15:15] ActionParsnip1: uhm... which codecs should i innstall? [15:15] bullgard4: i don't know why you don't have the directory....i do ...not with the file you are looking for but a couple of other libraries [15:15] odder, well, with open source nothing is impossible. It's just a matter of scale [15:15] Seven_Six_Two, something's impossible : re-creating patented software ;p [15:15] Seven_Six_Two: geez, it shuld be simple, there's such an option on fluxbox e.g. [15:16] lifestream: you sure? what about reverse-engineering like they did with ooo?

OK. I guess that will have to do! [15:18] s-toned: you can run gnome apps in fluxbox, fluxbox is its own deal but you have gnome libs so you can run gnome apps [15:18] bullgard4: apt-file will tell you what package a file on your system belongs to, if any [15:18] need_help23: you havent gone all the way [15:18] odder, it should be. I think you should ask Mark McLoughlin to add that feature. I'd like to see it too. [15:18] ActionParsnip1: so what shall i do?

[15:24] im on a laptop in class, its an issue with dpkg initially so i cant download scite [15:24] rockyrock, yes you must mount a FILEsystem to use it.

I don't know what's Partition Table!!

[15:30] Dr_willis: when i installed my hard disk, i choose to make a new partition but GParted asked me to choose a Partition table for the new hard disk. Then i chose msdos. Then i created a primary ext3 partition!!! [15:30] bullgard4: that's great! too bad the darn thing is so slow [15:30] SkyLab: hi [15:30] im having a problem with a partition [15:30] Dr_willis: what confused me is when it asked me for the partition table. [15:30] rockyrock, sounds like you made a ext3 partition then.. a drive Must have a parittion table.. to hold the partition information.. you then make a partition. [15:30] quibbler: The program is a driver libasound_module_pcm_pulse.so [15:31] rockyrock, you then have to format the partition.. then mount it. [15:31] rockyrock, its made a 'dos compatiable partition table' i guess is the proper term for what it did.. that holds the infomation on what partitions exist. [15:31] ActionParsnip1: w32codecs? [15:31] hi, http://pastebin.com/m20a01592 anyone know how to fix this? [15:32] Dr_willis: GParted asked for the partition table first before making anything [15:32] i am trying to use my HSDPA modem (huwai) with 8.10, but the network manager wont let me log in. In Fedora i just got asked for the PIN code. I didnt find any useful hints on the web. Can anyone give me a hint, where to look next? [15:32] rockyrock, Yes.. that makes sence.. [15:32] smokeytheman: try apt-get update [15:32] rockyrock, since it was a totally new disk. with no partitions ever at all on it.. [15:33] Dr_willis: so is it right to choose msdos for ext3? [15:33] rockyrock, You are confusing the use of the term msdos. [15:33] i get this error http://pastebin.com/m1b426aa8 [15:33] is there a command to close windows based on its title name? [15:33] smokeytheman: make that sudo apt-get update [15:33] rockyrock, it made a Partition TABLE thats compatiable with msdos.. You then make ext3 PARTITIONS [15:33] Hey, I'm running several ubuntu 8.10-server, on each one, when i connect with SSH, i need to wait 5-10 seconds between the login prompt and the password prompt, any idea ?

[15:34] Dr_willis: yeah i understand that. I then created a ext3 partitions. but GParted didn't give me the option for the mount point! [15:34] smokeytheman: it finished without errors? [15:34] smokeytheman: now try that other command that failed before [15:34] no, that was the error [15:34] hi! my cd/dvd recorder has stop working [15:34] rockyrock, tjhats because gparted dont do that part of the task [15:34] in dmesg i see: http://pastebin.com/d87a8d09 [15:34] OPS! [15:35] rockyrock, you edit your fstab to mount the parittion [15:35] my usb-stick is working like crazy after i cancelled an operation [15:35] now it doesnt want to be unmounted [15:35] Dr_willis: how to do that? [15:35] any way to kill all activity? [15:35] Favorit: oh that's what I tought, I'm gonna ask the sshd not to resolve :) [15:35] rockyrock, edit the /etc/fstab file with a proper line in it.. [15:35] !fstab | rockyrock [15:35] rockyrock: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [15:35] anyway thanks all for your help [15:36] <__chris> Hi does ubuntu 8.04 do any autoupdating out of the box, I can't see any default cron entries for apt-get upgrade etc etc [15:36] is there a way to perhaps 'tail' a dd if=dev/random? [15:36] Favorit: thanks [15:36] Scunizi: what do you mean ? [15:36] favorit:http://pastebin.com/m54cf5c7e [15:37] linduxed: lsof will show which processes are holding files open on the volume you want to unmount. [15:37] sry http://pastebin.com/m54cf5c7e [15:37] Dr_willis: i have another question plz. While i was installing ubuntu, in the partitioning phase i created a ext3 partition and specified the mount point for it to be in /media/Data. When i finished the installation, i can see the partition on the desktop but i can't put files in it. Ubuntu says that i don't have permissions [15:37] DiAbLe666: nevermind .. sounds like you got it resolved with Favorit [15:37] Hi, I am new to Linux world and I have few stupid questions ... Ubuntu on my notebook is mute and I need help [15:38] \exit [15:38] quuit [15:38] rockyrock, thats because its correct :) Your user dosent have permissions.. if you want them to access it fully you could make a directory on the filesystem and have that directory owned by the user you want to access it. [15:38] sipior: how do i use it? [15:38] linduxed: "man lsof" :-) [15:38] !ask | rodina [15:38] rodina: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [15:38] rockyrock, or chown the mountpoint to be owned by the user after the filesystem is mounted. [15:39] linduxed: but something like "lsof /mnt/volumename" will do [15:39] sipior: haha ok [15:39] Where can I configure that I want that USB media is displayed on the desktop? [15:39] can I enable anti-aliasing with Intel Graphic card? [15:39] fasta: they should appear by default!? did you change any regarding stuff, or is your setup untouched? === walrus_ is now known as Aiz [15:40] Problem: notebook Asus F3Q and it is mute (Ubuntu 8.10), how can I fix it? [15:40] How do I find out what motherboard is in my laptop` [15:40] Dr_willis: I know how to chown the mountpoint, buthow to do this "if you want them to access it fully you could make a directory on the filesystem and have that directory owned by the user you want to access it." ? [15:40] rockyrock, make a directory... chown the directory [15:40] hmw: I don't think I changed it. When I go to Computer it is listed, though. [15:40] can anyone recommend a printing channel? [15:40] Dr_willis: in that mountpoint? [15:40] rockyrock, 'sudo mkdir /media/whatever' [15:40] rockyrock, yes.. makes sence dont it. :) [15:40] hmw: I just like the "display it on desktop" feature. [15:41] This broadcom wifi is making me crazy... Anyone got any ideas on how to solve my problem? :) [15:41] rockyrock, 'sudo mkdir /media/whatever/usersdatadir' [15:41] Dr_willis: yeah :-D [15:41] i have a brother hl-2030 & it prints faded. I want to know whether it's worth me buying new toner - can't get any brother support :( [15:41] <__chris> Hi does ubuntu 8.04 do any autoupdating out of the box, I can't see any default cron entries for apt-get upgrade etc etc [15:41] Been reading threads on the forum for 2 days now, and i still don't get it to work. [15:41] Dr_willis: where to find LOTS of info about partitioning in Ubuntu? [15:41] rockyrock, google.. its documented in 100000's of sites.. [15:42] rockyrock, its not ubuntu specific :) [15:42] :) === _sektor is now known as slix [15:42] rockyrock, wiki pages are good basic info also [15:42] Dr_willis: thnx so much bro :) [15:42] Anyone? ;) [15:42] hi there, after restarting samba by ``sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart'' i still find that the process smbd hasn't been kicked off... may i know what's wrong with it? thanks@! [15:43] fasta - start "gconf-editor" (you can enable an icon for it under "Applications/System Tools", then go to apps/nautilus/desktop and check the setting "volumes_visible" [15:43] Link to my thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1073423 [15:43] can anyone help? my gnome display manager does not offer me any resolution higher than 1280x1024, and all the howto's on the net I've found so far don't seem to work for Intrepid! [15:43] hmw: thanks [15:43] so i could just manually kicked off smbd by ''sudo smbd''... which is not a right way, right? [15:44] Knez: there's precious little information there. what steps have you taken to try to get the internal card working? [15:44] kennyyu, i think 'sudo /etc/init.d/samba start' is the better way [15:44] sipior: I have tried many ndiswrapper guides, b43-fwcutter etc [15:44] Still nothing [15:45] kennyyu - are you trying to kill a samba process? [15:45] Dr_willis: but such way does not start smbd... [15:45] the b43fwcutter package worked for me here. :) [15:45] I have the wlan0 device, and Network Manager sees the card [15:45] hmw: i'm trying to start the samba process. [15:45] But it can't find any networks [15:45] kennyyu, i though ive seen where that way starts smbd and nmbd if i rember right.. both parts are needed. [15:46] Dr_willis: both parts? [15:46] hi all. I have two screens (my lcd monitor and my TV). Im using xinerama. If I open Totem, move it to my secondary screen, and then set it to fullscreen, it works fine. But all the other aplications (games, VLC, etc) always force to fullscreen in the my primary LCD monitor... how can I force then to start on my secondary screen as fullscreen? [15:46] Dr_willis: sorry. is it possible to detail the steps that i might need to follow....? [15:46] __chris: system-administration-software sources-updates [15:46] Knez: does "iwlist scanning" return anything? [15:46] kennyyu, i recall ages ago it showed starting both.. now it just zays -----> * Starting Samba daemons as in 2 of them :) [15:46] kennyyu - use a terminal to watch the system log for more info, why it wont start: "tail -f /var/log/syslog" - also check your smb.conf by typing "testparm" in a terminal [15:46] kennyyu, steps for what? [15:47] sipior: "wlan0 No scan results" [15:47] Dr_willis: ah.. i thought you mean apart from starting '/etc/init.d/samba' i should start something else.... [15:47] Knez: does this device require that firmware be placed in a particular directory? have you tried googling the card name with ubuntu? [15:48] kennyyu, check the logs in :/var/log/samba i just start the samba service. and thats it. :) it starts both as far as i know. ive never need to start them seperately [15:48] Does anybody know... how I install evdev? (searched with apt-get and synaptic, doesnt seem to be there) [15:48] !info samba-doc | kennyyu [15:48] samba-doc (source: samba): Samba documentation. In component main, is optional.

I'd expect a wrong conf, if it wont start [15:48] But it wont find my network [15:49] sipior: Any ideas? ;) [15:50] Knez: you didn't answer my question about the firmware. have you looked into whether it needs to be in place? [15:50] may I enable anti-aliasing with Intel Graphic card? [15:50] hi all [15:50] How doyou mean? [15:50] i just installed intrepid since i wanted to work on qt4....i have slected all packages from synaptic like libqt-4* and qt4-*............. [15:50] hmw: i tried those... [15:50] everything is installed but i m not able to see the designer running [15:50] The wiki states that the firmware needs to be in /lib/firmware, and it is.

[15:51] kennyyu - i assume, you alredy apt-get installed the samba package? if it wont come up, there should be info in the log files [15:51] hmw: yes. already installed it. [15:51] <__chris> quibbler no window manager on there, seems I can do it from /etc/cron.daily/apt [15:51] I am trying to add a route to /etc/network/interfaces and have up route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 0.0.0.0 dev eth0... this does not work [15:51] sipior: downloaded it from a link in a guide [15:52] sipior, how do i check the permissions? [15:52] i started it to no avail. but only when i try to start it by 'sudo smbd'... can the smbclient command work finally.... [15:52] kennyyu - open several terminals and watch the different log files with "tail -f FILENAME", you should be able to find the problem there. [15:52] Knez: "ls -l /lib/firmware/" [15:52] hmw: hmm, alright [15:52] __chris: OK [15:53] hi [15:53] !mount [15:53] For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted or !QtParted - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [15:53] hmw: you mean the files in /var/log/samba?

For moving your home folder to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [15:53] kennyyu - i am not fully sure, what you need to look at. Use the samba log files and /var/log/syslog as also /var/log/messages [15:53] !swap [15:53] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [15:54] brb, dinner [15:54] kennyyu - when the tails are running, try starting samba.

[15:59] hy [16:00] hmw: other files simply doesn't change at all [16:00] kennyyu - thats not too strange, i think. nmbd does some name resolution thing (i think it's netbios over ip, but i am not 100% sure) [16:00] sipior: yes, I figured that, just asking if it's a known bug as I'm pretty sure I didn't change that group myself [16:00] kennyyu - the other logs dont change?? hmm... let me check, be back in some minutes. [16:00] strk: not a bug known to me, and not one that has cropped on my system, so... :-) [16:01] hmw: ya, that's really was i was meaning... thanks.

[16:19] how can i disable UTF-8 ?

[16:22] pro engineer [16:23] so is there any solution when dpkg is broken? [16:23] Morning. :) [16:23] How would I go to install packages from CLI on ubuntu? [16:24] can i install using .deb packages? [16:24] are !QEmu and !VitualBox comparable to vmware - was looking at the vmware as we are implementing that at our office [16:24] blufade, does it helps ? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-990227.html [16:24] SlashLife, sudo apt-get install whatever [16:24] !apt-get | SlashLife [16:24] SlashLife: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.

[16:24] Viper62: virtual box is quite the same as vmware altho it doesnt support 64bits [16:25] smokeytheman: coulb be but you failde to give as the exact error message you are getting [16:25] the error message is located in the pastebin http://pastebin.com/m359f1cb8 [16:25] smokeytheman: i ask again what is the "exact" error msg use pastebin [16:25] Viper62: I personally use vmware as virtual box was giving me errors but I used vbox for a few years [16:26] ZeroA4, tried te instructions in this page, http://humdi.net/tips/how-to-disable-utf-8-in-console , sadly didn't workout [16:26] I am upgrading from a 160GB HD to a 500GB HD, is it possible to simply rsync my hardy /root partition from one HD to the other and have it still be able to boot from the new HD? [16:26] i pasted it earlier but i forgot to highlight your name [16:26] blufade, did you start the programa from the same terminal ? [16:26] To anyone, Totem seems to be maximized and full screen at the same time check it out (http://php.uat.edu/~nicbernh/totem.png) Any ideas how to fix this? [16:26] erUSL: http://pastebin.com/m359f1cb8 [16:26] ya [16:27] ZeroA4, yes [16:27] smokeytheman: try « sudo cp -i /var/lib/dpkg/available-old /var/lib/dpkg/available » [16:27] blufade, sorry then... i out of ideias [16:27] but isn't is supposed to a general thing like changing language settings and stuff ? [16:28] ZeroA4UTF-8 is related to language setting , isn't it ? [16:28] should i install the 64bit version of ubuntu for my core 2 duo laptop? [16:28] erUSL: you fixed it, thanks [16:28] linnuxxy: yep [16:29] Linuturk: if you have 4G ram [16:29] smokeytheman: no problem [16:29] <_VIM_> does anyone know which vmware server version did *NOT* have the web intereface? I the new one to be very hard to use, the old one was easier [16:29] linnuxxy: .. if you have 4G ram maybe if more then yes [16:29] <_VIM_> find* [16:29] ZeroA4, how do i get root access other than through terminal ? maybe login via root account ? [16:30] will the 64 bit give more performance? [16:30] bah [16:31] I am upgrading from a 160GB HD to a 500GB HD, is it possible to simply rsync my hardy /root partition from one HD to the other and have it still be able to boot from the new HD? [16:31] linnuxxy: not that much === h is now known as Guest29613 [16:32] <_VIM_> NeoDragon: Clonezilla maybe... ? [16:32] NeoDragon, almost [16:32] <_VIM_> or Fog [16:32] NeoBlaster, rsync, and then chroot to that drive, and run grub-install on the partition [16:32] hi I need MAJOR help i am in the alt installer in ubuntu and am trying to dual boot vista and ubuntu, I partitioned 50gb and want to put ubuntu on that space, but now during the installation, it says I need a swap space how do I create one during the installer??? [16:32] <_VIM_> haven't tried fog yet though, so you're on your own with that one... [16:32] hello everyone [16:33] madagascar27, leave a gb of the 50gb for the swap partition then [16:33] cwillu: how [16:33] linnuxxy: before fact was that 64bit was annoying. nowdays 64bit is better but i dont know is it worth ot if you dont have 4G+ RAM [16:33] madagascar27: just shrink your 50gb so you can have a gig or so of swap space [16:33] NeoDragon: if you then set up grub it should... (nmake sure you instruct rsync to skip "volatile" dirs like /dev/ /proc /sys...) [16:33] how [16:33] <_VIM_> does anyone know which vmware server version did *NOT* have the web intereface? I find the new one to be very hard to use, the old one was easier [16:34] _VIM_: what's the version of the "new" one you're using? [16:34] simplexio: i have 2.5 GB... but i do alot of image processing [16:34] madagascar27, any reason you can't use the desktop cd? it has a point and click partitioner for this [16:34] madagascar27, you can resize the 50 gb partition... [16:34] Thanks all that at least gives me some place to start. [16:34] madagascar27, I know you can do it from the alt cd, but I don't know the exact instructions off-hand === purplepe1guins is now known as purplepenguins [16:34] large maps and things like that [16:35] hi! I am trying to get the Realtek ALC268 sound card to work. all the levels appear to be up, and nothing is muted. I found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=878608 and seems to be helpful but this link deadends http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#High%20Definition%20Audio%20Codecs. any ideas? === scientes_ is now known as scientes [16:35] linnuxxy, there's a performance win, yes [16:35] okay I am in the installer for ubuntu right now it says partionin diska i have a pri/log 53.5 GB free space how can I make it have swap [16:35] <_VIM_> jbuncher: it was 2.* i believe, it's been a few months since I last used it... Ran back to Vbox and never looked back, but lately having issues with vbox + Guest Tools , so I'm thinking bout trying Vmware again :/ [16:35] Thanks. [16:35] NeoDragon: may be easier using partimage from a livecd (but i've done what you describe 2-3 times using tar and worked) [16:35] linnuxxy, not huge (depending on the workload), but its there [16:35] NeoDragon: allways from a livecd [16:36] _VIM_, you can always go back to vmware server 1.0.8, I use that without any sort of web interface [16:36] I'll do that thanks. [16:36] <_VIM_> jbuncher: is that for Ubuntu 8.04? [16:36] I am running ubuntu 10.08 and the speakers work but the front headphone jack does not. I am on a Gateway laptop. It worked in Hardy. Nothing is muted. Any suggestions? [16:36] linnuxxy: answer is maybe.. image processing is one of those few areas where 64bit helps [16:36] madagascar do you still need help? [16:36] madagascar27, delete the partition, and make two partitions in the freed space. Make one of them the 52.5 or whatever, and the other 1gb, and set the partition type of the 1gb to swap [16:36] madagascar27: you need to split it into two partitions, one big one for you install, and one that's a few gigs for your swap [16:36] thank you guys... it was very helpful [16:36] okay [16:37] _VIM_: I don't know if it's in the repositories, I just started using the one dl'd from their site. The ones in the repos were never up to date with the kernel modules, it became a big pain. [16:37] hello [16:37] what's up silentcrew/ [16:37] linnuxxy: easiest way is install 64bit ans test it. if everything works then continue use it. [16:37] jbuncher, kernel modules are handled by dkms now, which makes them far easier to deal with [16:38] <_VIM_> jbuncher: i was under the impression Vmware wasnt in the repos anyways , but i'll check into 1.0.8 thanks :) [16:38] It also doesn't help that my internet connection is terrible because I am in a 3rd world country. [16:38] simplexio... there is only amd64 version of ubuntu [16:38] !!! [16:38] @linnuxxy it'll work on 64bit intel [16:38] groundup, although I live in the united states, where I live has terrible internet access so I sympathize :-) [16:38] Argh! @ http://packages.debian.org/stable/web/php4-gd [16:38] linnuxxy: amd64 is 64bit for all x86 processors.. its because amd was first [16:38] Yeah, I am from NJ but I am not home. [16:38] linnuxxy, that's just distinguishing from a really old intel 64bit standard that nobody uses any more [16:39] hmmm... i see... thanks again [16:39] simplexio, uh, no, but theirs was the standard that caught on :p [16:39] @cwillu CISC caught on too, it doesn't make it right. [16:39] _VIM_: They had it in there for a while (feisty and a bit of gutsy I think, might have been in the "partner" or whatever repo). [16:39] cwillu: far as i know it was first 32bit/64bit x86 processor === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [16:40] is there an xorg config util anywhere? [16:40] @sarkie graphical or do you just want to reconfigure xorg? [16:40] Sarkie: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' [16:40] @erUSUL what does the -phigh do? [16:41] loki0347, sets the level of question you want to be bothered with [16:41] loki0347: make it automagical ;P i does not ask anything trys to guess [16:41] loki0347, -plow on most packages will harass you with various inane questions, -phigh only checks the most critical questions and uses the defaults for everything else [16:42] loki0347, for xserver-xorg, -phigh is appropriate for the majority of cases [16:42] cwillu, ahh, I've seen it before. seen it before never looked at the man for the flag. [16:42] Hey.... putting "evdev" as the mouse driver in xorg, makes my mouse not work at all. :-/ But the "mouse" driver does not make my media buttons work. What to do? :P [16:42] loki0347, a dpkg-reconfigure -a -plow will have you answering questions for hours, literally [16:43] cwillu, I'm tempted to try it now just to see how inane they are. [16:43] loki0347, do it in a vm [16:43] whats that application called that pops up in nautilus when you press ctrl+f? [16:43] loki0347, it's a good learning experience though [16:43] simplexio: Intel was first ... but AMDs 64 bit technilogy is compatible to i386 [16:44] cwillu, Current project is LFS [16:44] loki0347, not in the bad sense, you'll gain an appreciation for how much stuff it can do [16:44] lfs? [16:44] lvm? [16:44] cwillu, linux from scratch [16:44] I just want a gui config app, if not its fine :) [16:44] SlashLife: that what i said [16:44] @sarkie, when you config xorg it's usually command line. I don't know of any graphical versions. [16:44] Sarkie, the ideal is that everything should be getting autoconfigured properly [16:45] np, its working now! :) [16:45] Sarkie, there's supposed to be a more intricate graphical config utility coming for jaunty or jaunty+1, but most people never need that level of control [16:45] cwillu, I've learned the beauty of vm's to play around with linux. I'm a terrible kernel killer. [16:45] SlashLife: AMD designed x86_64 ansd was the first to sen 64 x86_64 cpus. it deserves the credit of the architecture being named amd64 [16:45] erUSUL: I never contradicted that. [16:46] loki0347, kde has had a graphical xorg configurator for a while now [16:46] cwillu, linux from scratch you literally compile all of linux from source starting with the kernel and building your own distro from the ground up. [16:46] cwillu: well hardy's displayconfig-gtk was very usefull it was zapped on intrepid becouse randr and newer xorg is "automatic" unfortunetly it fails for many people [16:46] cwillu, I use gnome. kde seems heavy to me.= [16:46] loki0347, I know what it is, I just didn't recognize the acronym [16:46] cwillu, ahh sorry. [16:47] SlashLife: sorry the missunderstanding 17:44 < SlashLife> simplexio: Intel was first ... [16:47] loki0347, just saying, now you know of one :p [16:47] erUSUL: Yet, IA64 has been around for quite some time. [16:47] salve c'è qualcuno che mi puo' aiutare?

You can look it up at packages.ubuntu.com if you can't find it with tab completion [16:50] Adamdh, if you used it in a different system doesn't that mean it's the mobo pulsing the drive for some reason?

[16:51] AdamDH - can you use another PC for testing the same OS with the same HD? [16:51] AdamDH, install smartmontools, and then run smartctl -t short /dev/sda [16:51] all my systems are gentoo or intrepid, tried the hdd in two other desktops no issue, as that was my orginal guess, but for some reason it seems to just be these dell systems [16:52] AdamDH, after 30 seconds or so, pastebin the output of smartctl --all /dev/sda [16:52] AdamDH, substituting /dev/sda for the actual device name if applicable [16:53] AdamDH, did you get all that? [16:53] yup just installing the package now and then will run smartctl -t short /dev/sda [16:53] k [16:54] running that command it says please wait a min, then returned me back to the command prompt, never used smartmontools before [16:54] AdamDH, yep [16:55] AdamDH, in another few seconds, run the next line I gave you [16:55] and pastebin the results [16:55] AdamDH, we just told the drive itself to run a short selfcheck (which can be done concurrently with other access), and now we have to poll for its completion (although a short test should only take 30 seconds or so anyway) [16:56] there is the results http://www.pastebin.ca/1341173 [16:56] thanks [16:57] AdamDH, okay, run the --all one one more time, the test wasn't quite done yet :p [16:57] and repaste [16:58] AdamDH, that drive has overheated before [16:58] http://www.pastebin.ca/1341176 [16:59] where has it said that in the results I am trying to interpertiate it [16:59] AdamDH, weird, it's still 90% done [16:59] AdamDH, line 62 of the last pastebin [17:00] AdamDH, value/worst/threshold, numbers below the threshold indicate a problem or a previous problem [17:00] hello?

Are higher numbers worse? [17:01] AdamDH, 92 hours. the raw value doesn't necesarily mean the obvious thing [17:02] i still get freezes in 3d applications... who can help me? [17:02] jbuncher, depends on the field, although you can presume if the worst is less than the value, then lower is worse [17:02] its possible this was a new disk I used to transfer data from a hdd failure in a server so the temp could have gotten high lots of rack gear about when I did that === ted_ is now known as tedb [17:02] Hi all -- I work at a midsize ISP and am thinking about how I can host an Ubuntu repo mirror for our customers. Has anyone done that? [17:02] Hi all -- I work at a midsize ISP and am thinking about how I can host an Ubuntu repo mirror for our customers. Has anyone done that? [17:02] cwillu: so what about his Raw_Read_Error_Rate ? Is that worse than it should be? [17:02] jbuncher, AdamDH, the values are defined by the manufacturer, the only real standard is that the drive signals failure [17:03] jbuncher, the threshold is a hint to that [17:03] cwillu: just seems odd that the rate for errors has a low threshold, and a "worst" lower than the "value" [17:03] tedb-> thats very nice of you, i dont know how to do it though, but i thank you anyways for hosting a repo [17:03] jbuncher, it's not unusual to have some read errors, there's error correction and the like to make the remapping transpareent [17:03] thanks n8tuserf! [17:04] tedb-> maybe try #ubuntu-motu [17:04] seems to only get to 90%?

[17:04] cwillu: I'm just thinking that it's odd that the "error rate" has a "worst" that's lower than the "value".

[17:05] its only getting to 90% [17:05] ran it a fair few times now [17:05] going to wait a bit longer [17:05] jbuncher, it's not an absolute number, it's normalized to be between 0 and 100, and it doesn't necessarily mean that a higher number == more errors [17:06] AdamDH, you aren't rerunning -t short are you? [17:06] but still looking at that it does not explaon why my disk is constantly been accessed [17:06] yup [17:06] cwillu: well that's just absurd then :P [17:06] AdamDH, you are?

[17:07] AdamDH, stop running that command [17:07] AdamDH, run sudo smartctl --all /dev/sda [17:07] someone help me please... i got graphics performance problems [17:08] AdamDH, run smartctl --all /dev/sda as many times as you want :p [17:08] right re running that sudo smartctl --all /dev/sda gives the same output as I pasted before [17:08] okay, that's odd, but interesting [17:09] cwillu AdamDH - might there be a problem in the controllers? [17:09] top shows the load is very low so I would expect the disk to do nothing [17:09] AdamDH, give it ten minutes and check it one more time, might not be giving it enough time [17:09] ddf [17:10] hmw, I think I just didn't give it enough time so far === joborociroboroqu is now known as sdfcg [17:10] allmost sure it sounds like head parking tome now [17:10] *to me [17:10] Does anyone know why I can't get my Ubuntu resolution more than 800x600|?

[17:12] AdamDH, there was a big 'thing' about that issue a release or to ago - of ubuntu. :) some bugs in hard drives and bios's and oepration systems can cause 'issues' [17:12] hi! does anybody knows any good email provider (not free providers)? [17:12] but only if there was activity on the drive since the last park (i.e, something gets written to the drive, then gets flushed out 5 seconds later, and then 15 seconds later the head gets parked, and then 15 seconds later, something _else_ gets written to the drive) [17:13] I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 with Fluxbox.

I've seen the device created is named mmcblk0, fdisk knows it but mkdosfs doesn't accept it [17:26] need_help23, what does crash, and does it crash immediately? [17:26] ktebit - afair blacklisting goes with udev and is used to exclude some modules from autoloading. needed in certain cases, where additional configuration is needed before udev activates stuff. [17:27] cwillu: well... it does crash >.< [17:27] prodigel, install gparted, and use that (it'll install into system | administration | partition editor) [17:27] need_help23, glxgears?

Should I be able to move panel widgets around? [17:45] funkyHat: ty [17:45] Jack_Sparrow - afaik you only need to restore the mbr (maybe the partition table's flags) and everything should be back to normal. i never tried to do this with linux, i always use the recovery shell from the win boot cd [17:45] Jack_Sparrow something like "fixmbr" [17:45] lifestream: alright, thanks man. I really appreciate your help :) [17:45] sorry wrong channel really [17:45] hmw You are missing my point. I have no current problem [17:46] lifestream: anyway, xev will tell you which buttons are which. start xev in a terminal, a small window will appear. use keys or mouse buttons/movements and details are reported in the terminal [17:46] Jack_Sparrow i think i understood that you dont have a current problem. you want to make something like your own distro/setup cd with the ability to restore the boot stuff, right? [17:47] i plan to install a fresh ubuntu on my dell mini - should i use the default canonical repo's or is there a reason to use Dell's? [17:47] lifestream: I don't have a problem with my wireless disconnecting nearly as often as the guy in the original bug report. it only disconnects and stays disconnected until i restart my computer. also, it happens randomly...sometimes not at all [17:47] any idea what stalls the release of openoffice3?

[17:47] Kubuser: I do not do KDE, but I think there is an unlock from panel to move around, but look at forums as it is experimental [17:47] hmw I have it completed yes. and it works fine. I needed someone else to look it over and try it [17:47] mefisto__, thanks so much for the help, it's *really* apreciated lol. I've read wikis, etc etc, and I know about xev, I just dont know in what order the numbers would go in .xmodmap... sorry I'm .... a ... dummy x__X [17:47] harel: generally ubuntu waits until the next release to do major version upgrades.

[17:48] Jack_Sparrow - aah! i might help, give me a download link. AFAIK, you only need to restore the MBR and maybe check the boot flag, win shoudl then boot up normally again.

Did you say you knew what driver your card uses? If so, you'd go on a terminal, do sudo modprob YourDriverName and your wifi *should* work again. That's what happened to me [17:49] Pici, I was expecting it to enter as an upgrade once it is defined as stable enough (whatever that means). [17:49] hmw trivial.. agreed. but to have a cd with the mbr already on it that lets you boot past the sda mbr and into your install bypassing the changes windows made during the install [17:49] suicidepills, the 'modprob' will reload your wifi driver [17:50] lifestream: how can i find out which driver i'm using? [17:50] Jack_Sparrow - nice project! i have no idea, how booting from a cdrom works in detail. i suspect, a cdrom has its own MBR? [17:50] lifestream: i haven't messed with the drivers at all so it should be whatever comes default with ubuntu... [17:50] I use a usb-boot medium. my acer needs a particular monitor-frequency, which is not recognized automatically. How can I "help" via start-up parameter to take the correct monitor, or xorg.conf? [17:50] hi guys, I want to mount a ext3 partition. Should i put "realtime" as an option in fstab?????

[17:51] I' dont like to change the monitor option by hand, as sometimes I boot with another system. [17:51] cwillu: so should i put relatime?? [17:51] mikeshollen: I'm assuming you've tried it and it doesn't work? [17:51] rockyrock, it's sensible, yes [17:52] hmw run that script when you get a chance, burn the cd and reboot with the pc set to boot the cd drive and you should see blue grub menu to show you are running off the cd [17:52] Jack_Sparrow - may i PM you about this? i dont know enough to understand all of it and would like to ask some questions [17:52] suicidepills, it's ath-something ^^ I don't use the card so I'm not *sure* What do you get when you type lsmod | grep ath in a terminal?

I'm trying to install ubuntu 8.10. The cd boots up fine, I get to chose to install it. I gest stuck and thrown into BusyBox built-in shell (ash) [17:55] What could be the problem? [17:55] i plan to install a fresh ubuntu on my dell mini - should i use the default canonical repo's or is there a reason to use Dell's? [17:55] it's another recording application, more aimed at musicians for recording music, but, the advantage is that it has more options and displays the waveform so you can see if it's actually recording anything. [17:55] cwillu: relatime,defaults??? [17:55] thecookie: may be rootsystem not found [17:55] diffra: cool, I'll give it a try [17:56] how do I get a public key for a source?

[17:56] thecookie: you can look with mount wether it is mountet under /root/yourroutsystem [17:56] YlandeFaran: sure, hardware companies tend to assume Windoze [17:56] français?

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr [17:57] pogay: rootfs on / [17:57] thecookie: one reason could be not the driver for the filesystem used [17:57] With no CPU load and nothing going on, sometimes my box will seem to stop. If I'm typing, characters will lag for a split second, pulseaudio will stutter, etc... I don't have any indexing going on in the background or anything like that. Nothing unusual on top. Ideas? [17:57] cwillu: that line is for the filesystem [17:57] cwillu: i'm not sure if i should put all these options for the rest of the partitions [17:57] does the server ISO contain sound card drivers for the same cards as the desktop version? [17:57] pogay: It's a empty new disk [17:57] rockyrock, as I said, that's what I'm using for my /media/alt partition [17:57] fde: so it wont have software optimised for the dell mini? [17:57] rockyrock, "man mount" documents them all [17:58] diffra: audacity is installed [17:58] thecookie: I had the case, when i started an existing installation [17:58] KenBW22: it will, it just won't have the Dell add-ons - only one that comes to mind, as I said, was the DVD player + codecs [17:59] KenBW22: everything dell provides there are alternatives to though, so its up to you. [17:59] AdamDH, wanna give me another pastebin now (presuming you haven't rebooted)? (hmw) [17:59] fde: no, i mean the dell repos will be a rehash of canonical's, as in they wont have any dell-specific builds of the apps? === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [18:00] KenBW22: no, Dell contributes already to upstreams, so forking everything for their machines would be a pita [18:00] i found a major bug in ubuntu 8.10 related to data transfer rate to a usb flash drive [18:00] can anyone help me fix my screen? I need to add a higher resolution than what's available in the gnome display manager, and none of the FAQs and howtos I've found so far seem to work for Intrepid. Secondly, it seems that I can't see all the colours available to me, even though my xorg.conf is set to 24 [18:00] fde: oh, well thanks [18:01] cooldduuudde, -> bugs.launchpad.nt [18:01] thecookie: usually you have an error-message, when you come to busybox [18:01] diffra: it doesn't seem to be picking up any audio [18:01] .net rather [18:01] does anyone here know if the server version of ubuntu includes sound card drivers? I need to run asterisk, but I'd like to be able to use the local sound card for testing via alsa. [18:01] cwillu-> thanks [18:01] I addeded the gwibber sources, and I got this: 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 - any ideas on how to fix this? [18:01] cooldduuudde: neat, check launchpad for the bug, and either add to an existing bug, or file a new one... also if you want to confirm the bug first... #ubuntu-bugs (I believe) might assist you [18:01] how do i make it easy to play video to things like projectors or other monitors/tvs? [18:01] brunner, yes it does I believe. Worst case, the repositories are the same, so you could just install them [18:02] kyledr: should be plug and play these days [18:02] suicidepills, hey I'm back [18:02] fde: i'm not using gnome or anything fancy [18:02] cwillu: thanks. I was just afraid the kernel could have been compiled to disallow sound card modules [18:02] kyledr: doesn't matter, its an xorg thing not gnome [18:02] fde: so i doubt it is [18:02] fde: oh ok. for my friend it didn't work and he also uses ubuntu, but i'll see [18:02] beautifulsnow: hey man [18:02] fde: is restarting x necessary? [18:03] kyledr: shouldn't be, no... what version of Ubuntu did your friend try? [18:03] suicidepills, oops was lifestream before hehe ^^ === Cueball_ is now known as Cueball [18:03] <[ifroog]> My third question is, How when using qt/kde apps, can i use gtk them on it by default or how do i change kde apps theme from gnome for kde/qt apps eg:- konqueror, kopete etc.. ? [18:03] beautifulsnow: yeah i'm seeing ath9k and mac80211 [18:03] i'm assuming it's ath9k? [18:03] pogay: Yeah, No controller found. [18:03] fde: probably intrepid, it's eeebuntu which is just ubuntu hacked to work better with the eee pc laptop by asus [18:03] kyledr: I have done a lot of presentations for my local LUG using hardy and intrepid without issue via projectors [18:04] suicidepills, yup, when you get disconnected again, do sudo modprobe ath9k that;s just a workaround, but hey, better than nothing === jacob_ is now known as Guest66814 [18:04] I noticed that msn messenger via pidgen does not connect. Is there a reason for that that I might not be aware of? [18:04] kyledr: actually, its just Ubuntu will the netbook GUI afaik? [18:04] fde: ok i'll check it out again. it could be a weirder issue cause we're using some goofy adapters to play to a TV [18:04] kyledr: check /var/log/Xorg.0.log after pluging in the project if you have issues... [18:05] fde: uh, i think it comes with non-free drivers standard so the wireless and other stuff works out of the box [18:05] fde: ok i will,thanks [18:05] Here's my story: I created 2 LVM PVs, put about 50GB of data on to them (this is all on a Live CD), then at some point Firefox froze, and I had to reboot. I boot back in, reinstall lvm2, it detects the volume group, but complains about not being able to find a physical volume by xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx UUID, which does not match any of the drives I have. It wasn't letting me mount anything, but was detecting the names of the LVs fine, [18:05] so I used pvcreate to restore metadata with a forced UUID. Then, I get back my LVs, but they are reporting 0B free, and do not seem to have a filesystem on them! I don't have backup metadata, because I didn't know about it until I rebooted and lost it. What can I do to restore my data? [18:05] thecookie: you boot from a CD? you can try options like failsafe [18:05] beautifulsnow: that works for me. i was actually trying to do that before but i wasn't sure how to use modprobe to restart drivers...or what my driver was [18:05] kyledr: Ubuntu comes with non-free drivers [18:05] why should gparted take ages to scan devices? [18:05] suicidepills, oh so you tried it right now? [18:05] fde: well not some of the ones he needed. He would have had to use ndiswrapper and add other sources for packages [18:06] Hi there [18:06] beautifulsnow: no, i haven't tried it yet 'cause my wireless is working currently [18:07] dkulchenko: not a lot considering you didn't make back-ups... perhaps #ubuntu-server knows more? or check launchpad for known issues/work arounds? [18:07] beautifulsnow: i just needed to know how to fix it next time :) [18:07] pogay: Yeah, I do. I'll try to see if there are any booting options [18:07] here is a question, i've 3 disks, first 2 is raid, and third one is i bought today and will like to install ubuntu..will there be any problem with booting or mounting my raid ? [18:07] mefisto__, so I guess I'll just do pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 since my mouse has 17 buttons? x-D [18:07] fde: i'll do that, thanks [18:07] fde: Do I have to install windows to update my bios then? [18:07] suicidepills, hope it breaks soon so you can try it :P [18:07] I am trying to install the latest ubuntu from the cd, but it recognises my IDE drives as SCSI and it doesnt let me partition them, it just gets stuck. i hope it didnt kill them also. how can I get passed this issue before installing? [18:08] dkulchenko: LVM is kinda overkill for a desktop - not at all useful unless you plan on changing drives around a lot... === jelmer_ is now known as Guest94594 [18:08] fde: so i gathered. :) [18:08] beautifulsnow: lol yeah, it seems to happen really randomly so i have no idea when it'll happen again [18:08] 1st time linux install here. Is there a fix for the touchpad delay? [18:08] YlandeFaran: you can replace it with the Linux BIOS projects code... but I don't know of any way to install that stuff, no [18:08] It looks like a pretty popular problem [18:08] beautifulsnow: but to be honest i kind of want it to break soon so i can make sure that it works [18:08] What should my sound capture be set to in the sound control panel for my internal mic to work? [18:08] fde: i just do quad and tri booting, and i'm installing different distros on different partitions often [18:08] guys am having a problem with shutting down my system, when I hit shutdown the system restarts vice shutting down any ideas?

You could close everything to do with internet, and see if it breaks :p [18:09] dkulchenko: LVM probably isn't really adding anything useful for you... using a regular FS would be much less error prone [18:09] ?DCC SEND ff???f? 0 0 0 [18:09] fde: yes. i'm planning to recover data and returns to regular partitioning [18:09] dkulchenko; no i didnt and its a laptop [18:09] morning [18:10] Hi, I got an Intel X3100 GPU in my laptop, after playing some fullscreen OpenGL games for a while, X freezes, even SysRQ or X-Zapping doesn't work, leaving the message '[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop. [18:10] Does anyone know why msn signin via pidgen does not work? [18:10] beautifulsnow: actually, yeah that does seem to have been the case [18:10] ' in the xorg.0.log.olf [18:10] I have exim4 installed on an unbuntu server, but I notice that the system does not have the 'mail' program. e.g. "mail -s 'foo' someone@bar.com < mail.txt" [18:10] what package will provide this ability? [18:10] Redragon: "signing" ? [18:11] brunner, I use the -server kernel on my laptop on jaunty because it works around an accelerated graphics glitch. I also used it briefly after the hardy release until some cfs patches landed, with the nvidia driver from -restricted :p [18:11] thecookie: it it's a hw-recognition problem you may avoid some tests, for example with acpi, but I have no Idea what controler it misses... [18:11] Redragon; it works for me [18:11] beautifulsnow: what? [18:11] brunner, aka, don't worry :) [18:11] Redragon: you mean signing in? cuz I'm on MSN via pidgin right now.... [18:11] cwillu: thanks =] burning the ISO now. [18:11] Odd, it won't sign in for me. Will continue to work with it and see what I can do. [18:11] krunk-|work: I think its mailx..

[18:11] thecookie: may be the hard-disk controller, may be there is a module missing [18:11] mohan43u: yes, that sounds right. thanks [18:11] pogay: Yeah, I guessed. I tried searching google.. but I can't seem to find someone with the same problem + computer model. It's a shuttle sd37p2 [18:11] beautifulsnow: i've also run into a more random crashing problem that occurs when my pc is idle [18:12] Redragon: depending on the type of people you converse with on MSN, you may want to give aMSN a shot (voice and video chat etc etc) [18:12] dkulchenko; i am on ubunutu, ill take a look now. [18:12] beautifulsnow: only happens like, 3 times a month, but when it locks up it's completely unresponsive [18:12] Redragon: ugly interface, but all the annoying things MSN users insist on are supported [18:12] beautifulsnow: same sorta deal though. only happens when it's idle [18:12] you can try for example puppy-linux or another bootable, to see wether it's a general problem [18:13] suicidepills, older ibm? [18:13] mefisto__, xmodmap mouse buttons. So If I have 17 buttons it would just be pointer = 1 2 ...... etc.... 17 right? :P can't possibly have taken me that long to figure it out xD [18:13] hello people, i need help with a little thing, bash_completion is not working with the sudo cmd it is without it though, any idea?

I was happy as a clam to find pidgen. [18:13] how can I force a kernel module to unload? rmmod says: module is in use, but I want to unload it [18:13] doglino, windows made the break from tradition, I'm sure there's a good exposition of it on wikipedia [18:13] guys, how do i connect to ad-hoc network but with cli? [18:14] this problem seemed to appear from nowhere too [18:14] doglino: rephrase: why does Windows use \ when everyone else uses / [18:14] yorky501: what laptop model do you have? [18:14] fde: After installation. For example, where is libjavaplugin.so located [18:14] pogay: I guess it can be. I did boot up gparted before at least. So there should be a driver for it [18:14] sony vaio vgn n21m [18:14] hahaha good [18:14] KenBW22: it has a lot to do with their SMB history... [18:14] ok I have a question. I tried to change the mount point for a second hard drive. Now it sees the hard drive but cant mount it. And I can no longer change the mount location [18:14] thecookie: ah gparted worked... [18:15] Can anyone help me get my microphone working? [18:15] yorky501: i've got no idea other than the power button might be hardwired to send the restart acpi signal, although that is very rare [18:15] suicidepills, how far ago did you install ubuntu? do you have all the updates installed? [18:15] the_dark_warrio: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras ... dpkg -L adobe-flashplugin [18:15] I seem to always get this wrong, so I am just going to ask... how can I: recursively move contents of a folder into another folder overwriting any files that already exist (using terminal of course) ? [18:15] cwillu please send me a link to page that explains that [18:15] doglino, sec [18:15] #elfnet [18:15] pogay: I guess I have to do some sort of custon like usb installer to get stuff working? [18:15] Isn't there a way to change the repeat rate of keys pressed? My spacebar keeps like triple spacing even though I am not really holding it down, it just seems really sensitive [18:15] the_dark_warrio: although your version may call it 'flashplugin-nonfree' ... they are not installed by default though, just install that meta package [18:15] fde: Oh, found it [18:15] fde, doglino: "In CP/M and early MS-DOS the forward slash was used to introduce command-line options, unlike in Unix, where a space and hyphen ["-"] is used for this purpose. Unix paths were delimited with a forward slash; but when directories were introduced in MS-DOS 2 another character had to be chosen as a delimiter and the backslash was selected.[8]" [18:15] beautifulsnow: i installed 8.10 with Wubi (which could be the problem, yeah?) and i check and install updates religiously [18:15] ok, cant be the problem it has been fine previously [18:15] help please!, bash_completion is not working with sudo, it is without it though, what cuold be the problem?

Does that mean that Ubuntu hibernated or suspended? [18:16] cwillu hey, thanks [18:16] pogay: Yeah, I meant.. I wold need the disk driver on it tho? Otherwise I would get the same problem [18:16] thanks, i was looking more into like, like it was a config file or something. Not used to all this graphical stuff in linux ;0 [18:16] KenBW22 thanks champ [18:16] milano: what exactly do you want us to do about it? it simply doesn't work currently when using sudo :/ [18:17] doglino, basically, early dos didn't have folders, and used / for parameters. When the later versions added folders, they used \ instead of / to avoid ambiguous meanings [18:17] looter, it gets written to a config file somewhere.... [18:17] ah yes, what he said :p [18:17] thecookie: differnt drives have differnt drivers I guess, but it's difficult to say [18:17] has anyone ever used xfix?

Are there any option to boot the installation e.g. using another driver or in text mode? [18:26] bkw: try ctrl+alt+backspace when that happens [18:26] Rencx: no, but pitivi and kino are both supported by Ubuntu (aka, they're in main) [18:26] fde is there chanel cinelerra [18:26] Rencx: out of those, I would recommend pitivi [18:26] Rencx: no idea [18:27] I'm running Ubuntu on my Acer Extensa 4630Z and having some graphics issues. Anything 3D is very slow and choppy, and some 3D games will crash X. I gather my settings are not correct for my video card and need a helping hand to get things up to speed. [18:27] fde pitivi have lot of bugs? [18:27] Touchpad delay when clicking =\ help? [18:27] Rencx: not really... it isn't as powerful as cinelerra though [18:28] fde can i edit sound apart form video [18:28] i tried installing ubuntu but it failed not I have Grub loading error 22 help please [18:28] hbekel: I don't understand this, lsmod says saa7134_alsa is not in use by another module, but I can't unload it because modprobe says it's in use [18:28] bkw: on the first screen of the installer... you should see options along the bottom of the screen... there is a "safe video" option iir that is probably what you want... the installer does have nvidia support though [18:28] tsuna27: did you install to your main harddrive? [18:28] i have realtek audio card but the sound bursts at high volumes [18:28] i have a hp mini netbook and installed ubuntu remix, it was fine for a week or so then now is so slow i have to keep restarting it, and sometimes it will boot correctly and others not. and waking from sleep it just sits with a blank screen, any ideas [18:29] Rencx: not that I know of [18:29] or maybe a different ver/distro for the atom processor? [18:29] is it possible, to assigne the monitor frequenzy via boot option?

[18:56] oh ok, so how do i update that? [18:57] SlashLife: if you intend to use the mta just for personal mail... I'd recommend something like ssmtp ... easy set up, and uses your isp or something like gmail to actually send the mail... it just throws the mail at those sites... [18:57] PokerFacePenguin: check /var/cache ? [18:57] PokerFacePenguin: try playing around with "du" or the gui tool.. disk usage analyzer and see what is using the space [18:57] MrNatas: if you really need it, then u have to either get the deb packages of the software, or compile it yourself [18:57] SlashLife: You can't send mail if you don't have your own registered domain... no ISP and the like will allow it to go through due to spammers ruining it for everyone else [18:58] oCean_: yes, /var isn't holding much at all [18:58] #opej19 [18:58] ye I tried, but I need Qt4 or something to compile it, but cant install that..

[19:11] tsuna27: grub is typically the last thing to install.. so if you're getting a grub error,t hat would indicate it made it that far. [19:11] Hi! I hope someone can help me. I'm not sure what this is called so I could not search for it. I need to configure an Ubuntu server to accept and send email from local LAN (different subnets) without having to provide login.

[19:28] andresj: it likely commented out things in /etc/apt/sources.list ... Software Sources repopulated it [19:29] howdy everyone, i thought the xserver servers were compiled w/out the default xcreensaver (the old MIT style one with the grey screen & X)? it appears that it is still there :( [19:29] marcelkoopman, im sorry, i forgot to say that im in gnome, and i used nvclock to get the backlight working. its just that the fn+f5/f6 keys never worked [19:29] Hello everybody [19:29] <[tla]> helper: did you check /etc/network/interfaces? [19:29] andresj: otherwise it would keep arguing over where to get files etc... and the idea of apt-cacher (and apt-proxy) is to have the network get it from a specific machine rather than over the internet [19:29] fde hahaha lol no idea, but it worked! :P [19:29] felicia, maybe there is a chance that it works in kde, because its more like the applications need to use the key events [19:29] fde: just rotate yourself [19:30] someone know or work with typolight?? [19:30] fabio_: I was thinking the same, actually... but I don't think that counts as support :P [19:30] Hello, I just installed Ubuntu Server for the first time, rebooted and the computer seems to hang at "Verifying DMI Pool Data", any ideas what's going on here? [19:30] <[tla]> it's not added there [19:30] but there is a way to do this [19:30] Gnome -> Display Manager. [19:30] <[tla]> @ terminal i put : ifconfig eth1:1 192.168.0.25 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 [19:30] but on the /etc/network/interfaces not there [19:31] lifestream: not much. in regards to your question from before: when i say idle, i just mean that i wasn't using it. it wasn't suspended or anything [19:31] marcelkoopman, i really prefer to use gnome, been using it for a while. its just this laptop and key bindings [19:31] helper: so populate /etc/network/interfaces with that info? why would ifconfig automatically populate that stuff? [19:31] lifestream: i can't suspend 'cause i used the Wubi installer [19:31] Jampiter: Gnome -> Preferences _> Display Manager [19:31] <[tla]> helper: ifconfig will not add it, either use the gui interface management tool or add it yourself [19:31] fde i am new @ ubuntu :) [19:31] felicia, look for gnome applications that use these keys [19:31] DizzyDoo, Did you change your hardware setup recently? [19:32] ah ok [19:32] fabio_: No Display manager option :/ [19:32] burkmat, I only just built my server box. [19:32] <[tla]> helper: you are adding a sub-interface? ie you really mean to config eth1:1 and not just eth1 ? [19:32] helper: its not that difficult... mostly its the same as ifconfig but each option is on a different line... just check out man interfaces [19:32] so i'll put : auto eth1:1 then iface eth1:1 inet static then address 192.168.0.25 netmask 255.255.255. 0 ? [19:32] fde, i've got the backlight working via command line using nvclock. i just cant get the fn+f5 and f6 working [19:32] felicia, In Gnome default values are put into hotkey preferences for keyboard-shortcuts which then does sensible things with them such as launch an e-mail client or change the volume and show an on screen display or play/pause music. [19:32] Jampiter: gnome-display-properties [19:32] felicia: you were told to use hotkey-setup... did you try that? [19:33] fde, already had them installed [19:33] rude [19:33] [tla]> i want eth1 and config eth1:1 2 networks so @ /etc/network/interfaces i'll put : auto eth1:1 then iface eth1:1 inet static then address 192.168.0.25 netmask 255.255.255. 0 ? [19:33] DizzyDoo, Well, if I'm not completely mistaken the issue would most likely be with BIOS. Have you got the latest drivers and BIOS upgrades? [19:34] is there an selinux specific channel for ubuntu? [19:34] fabio_: In the rotation drop down menu, only "Normal" Appears [19:34] Is it possible to actually cause a program to wait a few seconds before startup, in essence, is there a delay command I can put under the session preferences for a program? [19:34] suicidepills, hmmmm... I'm not sure about the crash. Not even sure if it's specific to Wubi! :( Sorry! [19:34] !gimp > burkmat [19:34] maximus007: I believe so... but search google for 'ubuntu irc channel list' ... there is a wiki page with them all [19:34] burkmat, please see my private message [19:34] fde, unless theres a way to run it, i dont know what to do :( [19:34] <[tla]> helper: yes. you may also want to add gateway [19:35] lifestream: no, it's cool. i've been googling around and it seems to be a known problem. no one has said anything about wubi being a suspect though... [19:35] Vague, you could put something like: sleep 5 & YourProgram where 5 is in seconds. Can be any number in seconds that you want [19:35] lifestream: i just remember hearing that ntfsg (or whatever it's called) was kind of unstable [19:35] burkmat: To be honest, I have to idea how to install the latest drivers or upgrade the BIOS, this is my first time with Linux. Google is telling me that the HD could be the component at fault here. [19:35] marcelkoopman, i've tried that... dont have options for brightness changing there. how does one add they're own? [19:36] suicidepills: ntfs-3g is pretty stable these days, it just lacks some features due to lack of specs etc [19:36] lifestream, so...under session preferences, if the command is sudo firestarter --start-hidden I would put sleep where? [19:36] fde: ah, well maybe it's not that then... [19:36] Vague: this is for Gnome or KDE? you can use the entire command you'd usually type within the Session config tool. [19:37] Jampiter: man xrandr [19:37] Vague, sleep 5 & sudo firestarter --start-hidden (replace 5 with the number of seconds you want) [19:37] lifestream: is there a log i could check for errors? [19:37] fde, gnome [19:37] lifestream, great, thanks [19:37] suicidepills: there are a few... all in /var/log/ [19:38] Jampiter: xrandr --rotate .... try it [19:38] DizzyDoo, It could be, but is this a completely new rig that's never been tested before? [19:38] fde: what should i be looking for? [19:38] suicidepills: probably /var/log/messages [19:38] fabio_: Ok [19:38] suicidepills, maybe dmesg Type dmesg in a terminal [19:38] burkmat: Never been tested before [19:38] suicidepills: dmesg | grep -i ntfs probably [19:38] hello [19:38] hai [19:39] Does anyone here know what specifies which config files are placed in a packages .conffile locate in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ ? I am trying to figure this out so a package I am creating does not have a specific file overwritten during a package version upgrade. [19:39] i have an problem with ubuntu 8.10 and network manager within umts [19:39] where i can specify the device file? [19:39] fde: nothing comes up... [19:39] lifestream: what else should i be looking for? [19:40] suicidepills: try grep -i ee instead? that will return all errors [19:40] Does anyone know how to force my fans to work? My PC is overheating because the fans will not come on [19:40] hi! [19:40] Gumby: you probably want #ubuntu-motu - this is desktop support [19:40] lifestream: Are you sure they work? [19:41] fde: there's a few things...can i paste bin 'em to you? [19:41] DizzyDoo, Hmm... Annoying issue, no doubt, not very much info on it. Could try poking about BIOS and clearing the CMOS (maybe the MB will reconfigure itself properly), but to be honest I have no idea how to properly fix it. Not really a Linux issue either... So I don't really know. [19:41] hi all [19:41] lifestream: They should come on if the computer is getting that hot [19:41] fde, I'll give it a shot thx [19:41] * burkmat mumbles something about quit-shortcuts being evil. [19:41] Gumby: been a while, but I'm fairly sure those files are in debian/control within the src.deb though [19:41] thanks anyway burkmat, I'll try... something [19:41] Jampiter, yes they work, I had Windows 7 Beta installed last week (just for giggles, but it made me gag so I came back to Linux), and the fans were working [19:42] My ati xpress graphics 200 graphics card *always* flickers with anything going on to do with 3d. What should i do? [19:42] DizzyDoo, Good luck. :) [19:42] Gumby: #ubuntu-motu concentrates on assisting new package maintainers and the like, so they should be helpful though [19:42] Jampiter, I've never really paid much attention to it, because my house is always cool, but now I'm in a really hot room, so it's not helping ;p [19:42] suicidepills, i'm not really sure :/ I dont know much when it comes to log files :P [19:42] lifestream: I'm afraid I can't help you there then. My advice would be to remove the side of the computer if it is a desktop, and clean the heatsink if it is a laptop [19:42] evening [19:43] when preseeding an install, is there any way to tell the install to use a specific hostname? if there is, where should i put the value for the hostname?

[20:11] lupine_85: If they do, that is what backups are for. [20:11] fde, brunner did it through apt === Stooge is now known as Stooge`fium [20:11] fde: would it be normal fo rit ot be the only line? [20:11] Seta_: tee -a, or you will truncate the file [20:11] hlm: I gathered that, I am more meaning the command [20:11] fde, sorry :( [20:12] fde: truncate? [20:12] can anyone tell me why I have fglrx-modaliases on an ati-less system? [20:12] vigo_: I don't have a backup of /var [20:12] pop79: i installed it and tried to run it, but the pops up a window saying it has problems initalising and that there is no driver or it's not properly working. [20:12] Seta_: replace entirely... in this case... did you already do the command? [20:12] bit of an oops on my part [20:12] fde: I manually used a long apt-get install command and included almost every package listed as a dependency of ubuntu-desktop [20:12] yes..*twitch* [20:12] oohhhhhh, looks bad MamboKurt, but i will try my best to help, wait a sec... [20:12] fde: Yeah...you said tee-i [20:12] lupine_85: Make one before you goof with it.

(1680x1050) [20:14] vigo_: I was just wondering if anyone actually knew before I tried it [20:14] MamboKurt, go to System, Administration, Update manager and search for updates [20:14] `file *list | grep HTML |wc -l` gives me 8 entries, "woo" [20:15] pop79: i tried the newest by ubuntu and the one from the ati hompage [20:15] Jampitar: Get viruss scanner from add/remove [20:15] MamboKurt, try as i said, there might be certain updates needed. [20:15] fde: okay, I just gave in. I'm not installing ubuntu-desktop... 434 more packages [20:15] pop79: It's not a virus, I was modifying it but it's just wiped itself [20:15] Does anybody know anything about hardware conflicts? [20:16] right, crunch time [20:16] oh, i thought it just "wiped itself without notification". [20:16] pop79: brb [20:16] lupine_85: But you never know, so back it up if you have data that you want saved, OSs crash, is normally user error, try this, copy the text from that command, save it, then edit the other, if goof ups happen, then replace the original configs [20:16] MamboKurt: In English please? [20:16] Seta_: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/119804/ <-- throw that into any file in your home folder... then sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist && sudo mv thisfile /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [20:16] pop79:be right back [20:16] Seta_: again, my apologies, wasn't thinking [20:16] ok [20:17] Anyone? This is quite urgent! [20:17] !urgent [20:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about urgent [20:17] vigo_: mmhm. ooh, it downgrades the problem from an error to a serious warning [20:17] win [20:17] !patience [20:17] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [20:17] Jampitar, i might be able to help, just wait... [20:17] fde: thanks. I'll take care of it [20:17] lupine_85: That sounds better. [20:17] Seta_: that already has the hda intel blacklist entry too, so then you should just be able to restart [20:18] Jampiter: i think i might be able to help... [20:18] Jampiter: in intrepid, there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... [20:18] lupine_85: Gratzi! [20:19] fde: There was a few minutes ago! [20:19] hi folks. firefox refuses to start after an apt-get update. seems that it looks for libgnomeui which is not installed on my system. [20:19] pop79: Oh? [20:19] one minute, jampiter [20:19] help, I think my hard drive is failing [20:19] beg your pardon, fde? [20:19] it says "error reading block" when booting [20:19] regeya: ? [20:19] Jampiter: what is your graphics card? [20:20] ATI Radeon 200M [20:20] ok... [20:20] I'm not within reach of an intrepid machine, but I just modified an xorg.conf on an intrepid machine last night... [20:20] hi, is there a terminal command for changing the resolution? or better yet to launch the interface to change the resolution? [20:20] regeya: in intrepid, Xorg handles those things automatically, so by default the file is unnecessary. [20:20] * regeya facepalm [20:21] regeya: could be an additional tool added the file... but native drivers don't require it [20:21] fde, What does intrepid use? This might help me also... I can't get my mouse to work. I found an xorg.conf file in intrepid, and it had some devices in there, just not mouse. But when I added mouse it still did not work. What does intrepid use in place of xorg.conf? [20:21] * regeya facepalm again [20:21] pop79: updated and restarted the xserver. same problems as before [20:21] regeya: in this case, the ati packages likely modified it [20:21] I'm trying to figure out which device my keyboard is [20:21] regeya: ? [20:21] when I run the command ls -l /dev/input/by-id/ it doesn't seem to work [20:21] OK, I can install stuff again now *phew* [20:21] need help with installing a metacity theme, after adding it through the appearances dialog it is not showing up [20:21] it tells me there is no such directory [20:22] lupine_85: Whew! neato work [20:22] MamboKurt: Very sorry, but I don't know any other possible solutions... sorry, but you'll have to look elsewhere [20:22] L3Tum: automatic configuration... Adam Jackson has been working on it for like 3 years and it finally went into 7.3 ... regeya you might want to look into this too [20:22] pop79: any idead where? [20:22] mikeshollen: it should be handled via hal and evdev ... [20:22] fde: what do you mean? [20:22] in most cases, it's not necessary to modify it, I'll agree. I've installed intrepid on 3 machines so far, one using an ati card, another has an nvidia card, the third uses unichrome. all 3 machines are exceptions to the rule, I guess, because all 3 of 'em have xorg.conf. there's not much to the file, but it's there :-) [20:23] oi [20:23] Tudo bem? [20:23] mikeshollen: your keyboard... it should be handled via hal and evdev now... instead of -input-kbd [20:23] MamboKurt: try #ati #nvidia or #xorg [20:23] MamboKurt: what is is the issue === odder_ is now known as odder [20:24] pop79: why are you directing people to #ati #nvidia without knowing what card he has ? === windmill_is_mine is now known as windmill [20:24] ikonia: he knows [20:24] MamboKurt: what card do you have ? [20:24] you cant have an ati and an nvidia [20:24] fde: what I'm trying to do is run ventrilo through wine, I want to be able to play a full screen game and use my push to talk key, but vent does not pick up that i'm pushing the control button if it's not in focus. so I downloaded ventriloctrl which is a program that will forward my key to vent, but it needs to know what value my keyboard is so i can give it the PPT key. [20:24] witam [20:24] ikonia: I was only trying to help [20:24] ikonia: i have a problem with my ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] [20:24] so why are you being directed to the wrong channels [20:24] moglby mi ktos polecic jakis edytor do c++ [20:24] pop79: directing people to the wrong channels is not help [20:24] sorry [20:24] MamboKurt: ok - what is the issue ? [20:25] just need to reinstall another 35 packages to get rid of the serious warnings [20:25] im leaving now :( [20:25] grrr [20:25] regeya: well, if you're using the proprietary drivers... yes I would suspect they'll be more noisy... as unichrome needs settings for your tablet layout etc... so yes, makes sense it would be noisier... official drivers should now only require the layout at this point though, and entirely removing the file shouldn't effect anything [20:25] trying to get ethernet working on ubuntu server 8.10. not sure how to configure /etc/networking/interfaces as it says "Reconfiguring networking interfaces [OK] then does nothing [20:25] glxinfo says: "Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".". when i try to start ccc its says it has problems initialising and that there is no driver or not properly working. [20:26] regeya: don't try it on the 3 machines you listed though, they will all require the things set up in the file [20:26] mikeshollen: #winehq [20:26] MamboKurt: what ati driver have you configured it to use, ati cards are famous for bad support and being driver fussy [20:26] !pl | madafaker [20:26] madafaker: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl [20:26] MamboKurt, You might try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg [20:26] I am using onboard ethernet and running /etc/init.d/netowkring restart afterwards [20:26] pjsturgeon: what is the problem with the networking ? [20:26] I have a tail, see ya [20:26] dpkg-reconfigure -phigh would help more, possibly [20:26] not getting any signs of connectivity [20:26] depending on the problem, mind ;) - I missed the start [20:27] pjsturgeon: can you expand on that, what are you treating as a sign of conectivity [20:27] any time i upgrade to 8.10 my laptop keep hanging or freezing any thing i can do [20:27] Can anybody help me with a possible conflict between mouse and network card? [20:27] i reconfigures xserver-xorg more often as i have fingers. [20:27] who is the monkey who made firefox-3.0 depend on half of gnome ? [20:27] MamboKurt: that's not what I asked [20:27] ikonia: ping google.com, ping 192.168.1.1, etc [20:27] Guest17074: welcome to the wonderfull world of gtk+ [20:28] BULEE : :-( [20:28] ikonia: its not getting to network OR internet [20:28] pjsturgeon: ok - does your card have an ip address ? [20:28] Guest17074: mozilla... as they use gtk and several other mechanisms specific to gnome.... also, if you're using aptitude or installing suggests automatically, it will bring in firefox-gnome-support which will depend on more [20:28] ikonia: i installed the one from ubuntu and system->administration->hardware drivers says im using "ATI Fire GL" [20:28] MamboKurt: and that's marked as "in use" in that gui [20:28] ikonia: how would I find that out? It is an onboard ethernet controller and I have it configured to use dhcp [20:29] here is the list of what it brings with it [20:29] apt-xapian-index apturl firefox-3.0 firefox-3.0-branding gksu gnome-app-install gnome-icon-theme [20:29] ikonia: it's green [20:29] gnome-keyring libbonobo2-0 libbonobo2-common libbonoboui2-0 libbonoboui2-common libcairo-perl libgksu2-0 [20:29] libglib-perl libgnome-keyring0 libgnome2-0 libgnome2-canvas-perl libgnome2-common libgnome2-perl [20:29] libgnome2-vfs-perl libgnomecanvas2-0 libgnomecanvas2-common libgnomeui-0 libgnomeui-common libgnomevfs2-extra [20:29] Guest17074: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[20:29] pjsturgeon: check layer2 (tcpdump -i ....) and layer3 (ip addr show) [20:29] * pop79 would like it if people appriciate that im helping them. [20:29] Guest17074: why are you pasting this? we can read the depends ourselves :/ [20:29] MamboKurt: ok so that means it's in use, I suspect that 3d support is not available for your card and that xorg driver version [20:29] well, assuming iproute2 is installed [20:30] pop79: please stop with that, I'm sure people are gratful for any valuable support [20:30] ok [20:30] otherwise ifconfig ... (eth0, probably) [20:30] ERR: installing new themes is totally suckish, it does not work properly, it changes the main bars to something that reminds me of windows 95 [20:30] ikonia: how to paste that much? my troubled pc is failing to get on the network and there is too much to type over :) [20:30] !pastebin > pjsturgeon [20:30] pjsturgeon, please see my private message [20:30] ikonia: thanks. i think i read that this xoorg version is not supported by now [20:30] MamboKurt: xorg version in ubuntu is fully supported [20:30] 51 new packages that i don't need !!! I'm regretting my apt-get upgrade [20:30] MamboKurt: what version of ubuntu are you using [20:30] ikonia: i understand pastebin, i just cant get the output from that machine to this [20:31] pjsturgeon: ooh I see [20:31] and back on xorg, if support for xorg.conf ever goes completely away, I'm buying a mac :-> [20:31] ikonia: i see settings for lo, wlan0 and wmaster0 [20:31] Guest17074: also, yes, those things are all from firefox-3.0-gnome-support [20:31] ikonia: but no ethernet [20:31] pjsturgeon: ok - ok - so that means there is no ethernet device seen [20:31] pjsturgeon: you don't seen eth0, eth1 anything like that [20:31] any way to remove these dependancies ? [20:31] pjsturgeon: ifconfig -a ? [20:31] I'm having trouble with my wireless connection in ubuntu 8.10. It worked great with hardy and intrepid, but when upgrading to intrepid it all goes wrong. First of all the default Broadcom STA driver (i got a b4311) did not work as expected, it's unable to connect to the networks. Then I installed b43-fwcutter and correct firmware, it seems to load the drivers ok but no it's nagging about that the wlancard is turned off. I've turned it on... [20:31] Guest17074: no [20:31] ikonia: jaunty. i crashed my ibex and i thought it would be a good time to switch. thought so.... [20:31] or is it actually not there? [20:31] Guest17074: you'd have to rebuild the package [20:31] :-(((( [20:32] My mouse and my network card do not work can somebody help me? [20:32] MamboKurt: jaunty support is in #ubuntu+1 and not supported/in development, using development versions is not a good idea [20:32] * Guest17074 will drop firefox [20:32] thanks anyway [20:32] Guest17074: they are not deps... just 'apt-get install firefox-3.0' :/ [20:32] yay for broken kernalage, I guess [20:32] lupine_85: what kernel version is causing you problems [20:32] ikonia: i just realized it [20:32] these 51 dependances appeared when removing and reinstalling firefox-3.0 [20:33] ah I know what happened [20:33] Does KDE stand for Knoppix Desktop Enviornment? [20:33] * lupine_85 notes that mixing aptitude and apt-get is generally Bad [20:33] ikonia: no, you think onboard ethernet is the issue? i have ripped out a spare pci network card to try [20:33] ikonia: none, I'm just commenting generally [20:33] pop79: no, Kommon Desktop envionment, and that is offtopic here [20:33] I did not install firefox from ubuntu but from their web site if i remember well [20:33] i'll try reinstalling it from there [20:33] Question: can anyone help me with a memory address issue? Running ubuntu 8.1 amd64 just added 8GB DDR only Addressing 7.3GB [20:33] Guest17074: that would be unwise [20:33] no. the K just stands for K now. It used to be Kool Desktop Environment...and as I typed that, ikonia gave an answer I'd not heard before...thanks ikonia [20:33] xpot: what makes you think that [20:33] anyone has any idea on how i could get this broadcom 4311 working on my laptop? Tried the propretary default driver, tried b43-fwcutter (failed because it says my wlan card is turned off, which i'm unable to turn on)?

[20:34] pjsturgeon: if you have no eth0/eth1 device from ifconfig -a then you have no network card detected [20:34] what would be unwise would be to clutter my system because a gmoron decided to add a dependancy on gnome-support-whatever [20:34] ikonia: resource monitor is showing that [20:34] pjsturgeon: grep eth /var/log/syslog.log [20:34] xpot: check "free" [20:34] [21:37] *** You have been kicked from channel #ubuntu by ikonia (stop name calling, I asked you).

How do I do this? Im using Hardy Heron [20:38] pjsturgeon: ahhh, looks like there is a problem with your card/kernel module, hence why it's not being found [20:38] iknoia: ok, will do [20:38] lupine_85, no. Usb mouse will work, but not the PS/2 mouse. network card I installed a week ago and never got it to work. I've tried everything on google to fix the mouse and the card, so the only thing I can think of is maybe a conflict between these [20:39] ikonia: think i'll have more luck with another card? [20:39] pjsturgeon: if it's supported, sure [20:39] pjsturgeon: most main makes are [20:39] d-link, lets hope so [20:39] so, if i wanna install some driver and i need to recomplile my kernel, is kernel-package is what i need instead of "kernel-header"? [20:39] BossaNestaAFK: nope [20:39] BossaNestaAFK: only need to recompile the kernel if you want them built into the kernel, or the module requires a specific kernel version [20:39] ikonia, oh... so.. it should be kernel-headers? [20:40] I would like my dyndns account to forward all connection attempts directly to a pc behind my router. How do I do this? Im using Hardy Heron [20:40] L3Tum: quite possibly, yeah. Are the PCI slots set to be managed by the O/S in your BIOS? [20:40] ikonia, i'm running a special kernel, 2.6.24-21-eeepc .. i can't download the header.. @@ [20:40] BossaNestaAFK: why do you need the header [20:41] BossaNestaAFK: you can use the sources in place of the headers [20:41] wes1: that's nothing to with ubuntu - that's a router config [20:41] ikonia: just to remind you that you forgot to take the away message "not at desk" [20:41] something wrong with my Virtual Box, it show warning.. in my Fedora i could fix it with the VBox command [20:41] lupine_85, I don't know. What do I look for? I have changed the BIOS setting for port 1 from auto to com1 back to auto, nothing happened. I don't know what to look for other than that [20:41] pop79: done, thank you [20:41] lupine_85, oh.. yeah.. the source.. that's right!! [20:41] L3Tum: there should be a Plug 'n Play menu somewhere [20:42] ikonia; I said behind my router, so it have everything to do with ubuntu, its ubuntu software [20:42] BossaNestaAFK: it's a good bet, since they're required by GPL to make it available :) [20:42] wes1: your router forwards to things behind your router - not your clients [20:42] ikonia; sure i could make it forward to my router, then id have to use port forwarding to the comp or i can forward it directly to the comp via software [20:42] I added a file to /etc/init.d, how can I make it so it starts/stop like the other scripts? [20:42] how do i format a USB drive [20:42] L3Tum: the other option, of course, would be to buy a USB mouse [20:42] lupine_85, yes, I'm there....PNP OS Installed=NO, Resources Controlled By=Auto.... [20:42] lupine_85, hehe.. i forgot where can i download kernel source... can u tell me the name of the package? [20:42] * hlm is now here to help! :-) [20:43] ikonia no [20:43] lupine_85, oh.. sorry.. it's not a command kernel.. so i have to google it myself, right? [20:43] TruthTaco: mkfs.ext3 /dev/ [20:43] wes1: what ? [20:43] wes1: you want connections from the internet to forward to your PC ? [20:43] my floppy drive dosen't work, it isn't detected but in windows it seems to work, what's the prob? [20:43] BossaNestaAFK: it's BIOS-specific, yeah [20:43] wes1: is that what your asking ? [20:43] thanks [20:43] !inadyn | ikonia [20:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about inadyn [20:43] whoops, getting my wires crossed [20:43] lupine_85, hehe. found it.. thx [20:43] !ddclient | ikonia [20:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about ddclient [20:43] ikonia: is Total = 7992 Good? I guess I just needed a reboot. [20:43] ikonia: ifconfig shows me eth1, set me networking file to http://pastebin.com/m7632a035 [20:43] anyone know something like chkconfig for ubuntu? sysv-rc-conf? [20:43] it doesnt know anything about either [20:43] xpot: if your total is changing - that's worrrying [20:43] xpot: check in memtest [20:44] ikonia: ok [20:44] ikonia; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DynamicDNS [20:44] I just hoped some1 has done it [20:44] ikonia: saved, restarted, no networking still [20:44] do >4GB kernels steal a chunk for the kernel? [20:44] lupine_85, yes I could try that. I'll just use the usb mouse on that machine until I get another one [20:44] and can verify it works [20:44] (and would that show up in free?)

[20:45] pjsturgeon: look at ifconfig -a again please now with your new card in [20:45] anyone know of an sql utility for linux? [20:45] lintian: sudo updatedb [20:45] query browser that is [20:45] alguem aqui é brasileiro? [20:45] tyler_d1: for what database ? [20:45] It says Using your Computer to perform Dynamic DNS Notification [20:45] my floppy drive dosen't work, it isn't detected but in windows it seems to work, what's the prob? (if you know how to fix this please pm me) [20:45] lupine_85, Are these the correct BIOS settings for PnP though? [20:45] ikonia: sql2005 [20:45] so its software ikonia [20:45] ikonia it is there ok [20:45] !br | benilson [20:45] benilson: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [20:45] tyler_d1: I tend to use sqlitebrowser... but I use sqlite for a lot of things ;) [20:45] lupine_85, i have several harddisks, not all connected at the same time, i want to search for files on all disks at once [20:46] L3Tum: they should be set to managed by the OS if at all possible [20:46] wes1: that's just dns update - that's not the forwarding to behind the router [20:46] lupine_85, PNP OS Installed=NO, Resources Controlled By=Auto... [20:46] ikonia; so how could it possibly update? by giving it a 192 address [20:46] lupine_85, so i want to make an index for them first and search that [20:46] L3Tum: might be worth setting PNP OS Installed = Yes [20:46] Package sysv-rc-conf is not available, but is referred to by another package. [20:46] lupine_85: ty I will give them a shot [20:46] wes1: your router nats [20:46] wes1: or masqurades [20:46] lintian: well, dunno if slocate/etc would be any good for that [20:47] ikonia; or perhaps you want the DNS entry to follow your *computer* around, rather than stay with your DSL/Cable connection. [20:47] thats a paste from that document [20:47] I'd (topically) make a tiny sqlite database and import the ls output into it [20:47] wes1: same thing [20:47] thats what I want to do [20:47] wes1: that won't work, you must give the address you router has from your ISP [20:47] wes1: your just doing dns updates - that's nothing to do with forwarding [20:47] lupine_85, i guess so, but i'm not sure how [20:47] (assumiong the hard drive content is static?) [20:47] *your router [20:47] ikonia: eth1, has a few packets run a few packets with no errors, but still no ping or telnet gets anywhere [20:48] pjsturgeon: thats a good start [20:48] Hi why can`t I install awn-core-applets-bzr It says there is no such package. [20:48] can anyone tell me why I can't find this directory? [20:48] michael@Alienware:~/ventriloctrl-0.5$ ls /dev/input/by-id [20:48] ls: cannot access /dev/input/by-id: No such file or directory [20:48] pjsturgeon: you have eth1 - that means your card is found [20:48] pjsturgeon: now you just need to give it an IP address/set it to use dhcp [20:48] lintian: me neither off the top of my head. probably via a ruby script in my case. like I said, I don't know anything that does exactly what you want OOTB [20:48] dhclient eth1 [20:48] pjsturgeon: where do you get IP's from - your router/modem, or are you on a corperate LAN ? [20:48] ikonia; the problem is, i have DSL, and teh DSL modem works as a router, so when I hook up my router, i now have two routers on the network a 192.168.1.1 and a 192.168.2.1 so its making it a pain in the rear for me to set up this server [20:48] change lupine_85 yeah changed that to Yes, still doesn't work. Now, if they are conflicting, and I use a usb mouse, They will still conflict because the mouse and net card are still assigned to the same address, only the mouse won't be used right? [20:49] aha! thanks guys [20:49] wes1: the public IP should be the WAN IP on the router, which isn't 192.168/16, trust me [20:49] sudo dhclient eth1 got it [20:49] lupine_85, it is static as long as i don't add or remove stuff from it yes [20:49] wes1: thats just a hardware issue with your setup [20:49] then you set up NAT on the router to forward requests from the WAN IP to the server IP [20:49] all beyond the scope of this channel [20:50] lupine_85; what channel should I go to then [20:50] lupine_85 you just put me into a coma [20:50] wes1: ##networking [20:50] pHreaksYcle: I have that effect on many people [20:50] in other news, Cap'n Crunch is dead [20:51] lupine_85: how old was he? [20:51] the original hacker [20:51] wes1: really, you shouldn't set up any server behind NAT. it's more hassle than it's worth [20:51] grab a VM and set up your application on that instead [20:51] how do i check if ive got bluetooth installed into my laptop? [20:51] how to made bin in lxde?? [20:51] hardware wise [20:52] k9: pardon ? [20:52] hello [20:52] i wanna check if i should even bother with drivers [20:52] ?? [20:52] lupine_85, is there a way to check which address the mouse and network card are using, and if they are overlapping, change them? [20:52] k9: what are you asking ? [20:52] ls [20:52] i wanna to make bin in LXDE [20:52] L3Tum: cat /proc/interrupts might be what you want [20:52] k9: what is LXDE ? [20:52] I can't get my Genius G-pen 450 to work as a mouse on Ubuntu. What do i do to get it working? [20:52] tiny desktop environment [20:52] * hlm feels like a restart is needed >:-[ [20:52] k9: you're talking about a trash can? [20:52] it is new lightweight desktop [20:53] k9: try opening a terminal and running gcc/make/the usual [20:53] k9: so what do you mean by a "bin" [20:53] Does some one know how to install avant-window-navigator manager? [20:53] binary, Im guessing [20:53] Hey all, I'm having an issue with rhythmbox on ubuntu 8.10 64bit. Everytime I load up anything to update such as flash player, etc. it gives me error or when i try to remove it and reinstall it says this E rhythmbox: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 2 [20:53] yes i'm thinking about trash sorry [20:53] * lupine_85 fails [20:54] jdmnynja: rythmbox is crap. use songbird or amarok :) [20:54] k9: see if lxde has its own channel [20:54] lxde DOES have a channel [20:54] let's be fair, they're all a bit poor [20:54] do /join #lxde [20:54] lupine_85: were you not refering to the phone phreaker ? [20:54] notwist: good to see your in here! I got Ubuntu 8.10 64bit installed and running. I had to take our RAM and video card junk. Anyway, I'd love to do that, but whenever I update or try to install flash it pops up error. Is it because it is automatically recognizing rhythmbox? [20:55] * hlm is now going to restart, see ya soon! [20:55] ezerhoden: that was the general intent, yes [20:55] how do i reinstall a package with apt-get? [20:55] ok thanks [20:55] buy [20:55] lupine_85: apt-get --reinstall [20:55] yao_ziyuan: --reintsal [20:55] reinstall [20:55] being a clever pun, or play on words, upon the querent's handle [20:55] ikonia: complete command? [20:55] without doing a soft-install, how can I fix a corrupted "sudo" command? [20:56] apt-get --reinstall $package [20:56] sudo apt-get --reinstall TheNameofYourPackage [20:56] the problem is that I can't do it as root === datacrusher is now known as dtcrshr_OUT [20:56] MaxDread: what do you hit when you try? [20:56] MaxDread: what happened? [20:57] * lupine_85 always runs sudo passswd first on ubuntu systems [20:57] notwist: i am downloading Amarok atm. Hopefully this fixes my rhythmbox errors. [20:57] Filesystem got corrupted, fixed it with e2fsck, and sudo itself got corrupted [20:57] jdmnynja: amarok is another media player entirely [20:57] can somebody please help me? http://pastebin.com/m1ad6ee07 I don't know what to do [20:57] jdmnynja: and rythmbox does not have anything to do with flash in firefox [20:57] MaxDread: ah. well, reboot into a rescue shell, chroot in, fix however you can [20:57] notwist: it gives me a rhythmbox error when i try to install flash. [20:57] So. how would I install ubuntu oif the 8.10 live cd doesn't work (hangs with the error message, "No controller found" and throws me to busybox), and the 8.10 netinstaller is broken? [20:58] jdmnynja: weird [20:58] lupine_85: why would you do that (sudo passwd)? [20:58] notwist: very. i can't find anything about it on the launchpad. [20:58] The 8.04 netinstaller seems to work. Would it be feasable to install 8.04 and "manually" update to 8.10? [20:58] guntbert: so I still have root if sudo dies [20:58] christop1er: I'd make a quick guess that you where trying to use a raid disk system/controller [20:58] s/if/when [20:58] notwist: or anything on the internet for that matter. [20:58] lupine: tried that... I need to be able to get a fresh "sudo" command from CD because even booting into recovery mode it wouldn't let me go out to the net [20:59] lupine_85: sudo doesn't "die" [20:59] ikonia: Not really.

[21:00] lupine: dpkg isn't working... can't get root [21:00] guntbert: and su is a handy fallback for when it breaks [21:01] MaxDread: hence the suggestion to chroot in from a rescue environment [21:01] Anyone here have any idea what error- E: rhythmbox: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 - means? === Geek`N`Proud` is now known as Geek`N`Proud [21:01] lupine: I already tried it through recovery -- still no dice... thought that su was disabled, btw [21:01] jdmnynja: read up about 2 lines on the output you get and it'll tell you why [21:01] MaxDread: it is by default :/ [21:01] is it possible to use /etc/hosts to point a single address at multiple ip addresses (e.g. if the first one doesnt work, try the second)?

[21:05] lupine_85: I still don't think you should tell people to enable the root-account, because all the things you mentioned don't "just happen" but are the result of some unintentional wrenching [21:05] lupine: I'll try that extract from the .deb on the CD... can you send that command string in a priv msg real quick?

Start the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface daemon [22:16] !hacker | angeleye [22:16] felicia: Unless I'm mistaken, it's called something like "usr/sbin/acpid". [22:16] angeleye: A hacker is a person who delights in having an intimate understanding of the internal workings of a system, computers and computer networks in particular, as defined by Request for Comments (RFC) 1392 - i.e. a good programmer -- crackers on the other hand break systems! [22:17] i want to go into hacking and programming i m very new to linux can any one help me by being my mentor pm me [22:17] hello, So i was able to boot into ubuntu and was trying to install another OS, which messed up. And now i cant get back into ubuntu. What should i do [22:17] kingsley Start the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface daemon [22:17] whoops [22:18] hlm: are you there? [22:18] angeleye: 4chan is a great resource for hacking [22:18] guntbert, yes, why did you say somethiong? [22:18] I tried grub find /boot/grub/stage1 but it says file not found. [22:18] kingsley sorry about that [22:18] # Check for daemon presence [22:18] test -x /usr/sbin/acpid || exit 0 [22:18] brunner1: i think with stopping the service and removing it from the runlevel start list with "update-rc.d" [22:18] guntbert, okay im heading there [22:18] oskar-: okay, thanks! [22:18] i am currently on the live cd [22:19] any help? [22:19] hlm: there is a button "download server", click it [22:19] felicia: OK, acpid's daemon is "/usr/sbin/acpid".

[22:20] guntbert, im guessing im going to ping for the best one? [22:21] hlm: no, I'd just choose one in your own country, or near your location [22:21] felicia: I suggest rebooting, and checking the output of "ps aux | grep acpid". That will tell you whether or not acpid was started by /etc/init.d/acpid. That'll direct your subsequent debugging effort. [22:21] kingsley: okay,ill brb [22:23] hey ok litttle bit embarrasing but i chmod 777 all files. now obviously screwed up. so before i reinstall my system is there anything i can do? [22:23] I'm chasing a segmentation violation in the X server, and I've now installed xserver-xorg-core-dbg which puts an Xorg in /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/Xorg, but how do you launch X with that X server?

[22:23] imri303 thanks for your help my network is back :) [22:24] dremits: you can restore you latest backup, or perhaps read most file permissions out of it [22:24] ok then [22:24] what is the difference between /usr/bin/X and /usr/bin/Xorg ? /usr/bin/X has no manual page [22:25] dremits: not wanting to rub it in, but how did you manage that?

[22:28] kingsley: but i dont know why my backlight doesnt work unless i restart acpi manually [22:28] felicia: What leads you to believe that acpid should be restarted?

[22:29] ahsanul: yes sure [22:29] server irc.freenode.net [22:29] hey geeknproud, how? :) [22:29] sickdude: you should probably go ahead and just install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' though... it will play most music and video stuff, as well as java and flash etc... instead of you asking 20 questions here :) [22:29] ahsanul: Right click the panel in a spot where no widget occupies -> Properties [22:30] ahsanul: from there click "Background" [22:30] i now how burn a iso image to a disk but how do i make a iso image from the cd [22:30] rww: bash: flashplugin-nonfree: command not found [22:30] dremits: I understand the first but don't believe the second :), sometimes we don't know what we do - thats why I (almost ;-)) never work as root [22:30] well, not that [22:30] kingsley: laptops have lights behind the monitor often to illuminate the screen better [22:30] i don't want a background image for the whole panel [22:30] sickdude: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [22:30] ahsanul: what do you have in mind?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [22:31] i'm having some weird DNS / connectivity issues. It's like half the internet is gone -- depending on what I try to ping, name resolution succeeds or fails (google succeeds, cnn fails, yahoo fails). How do I troubleshoot this? [22:31] may someone help me out installing a theme please? cant seem to get it to show under gnome appearance to select it [22:31] Flamittor, cat /dev/cdrom > image.iso [22:31] i did ask my real question it was ignored [22:31] I'm having some trouble connecting ubuntu vnc to a Windows vista laptop vnc, I can connect windows to ubuntu but not the other way around can anyone help? [22:31] oh ok, no problem, thanks for your time! [22:31] Flamittor, There are also many GUI programs to do the same [22:31] :) [22:31] Chronosphear: these packages, where are they coming from? Some PPA? [22:32] Chronosphear: you have not installed the associated GPG key I suspect [22:32] Chronosphear: you should already have ubuntu-keyring installed though [22:32] smokinjoe, Ensure VNC is whitelisted in your firewwall. [22:32] i have ubuntu-keyring and the debian ones. they are standard packages in the ubuntu repos [22:32] I'm not quite sure how to whitelist it in windows [22:32] I have Mccfee.. [22:33] smokinjoe,Edit your firewall settings and add an exclusion. [22:33] fde: for what is that? so i dont need the flashplugin-nonfree? btw. when i try i already had it.. lol [22:33] hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ... does anyone have SmoothWall FIREWALL installed on their UBUNTU ??? [22:33] smokinjoe: ask in ##windows about opening a firewall port [22:33] hi i want to format my computer and divide the disk in to different partitions to duel boot ubuntu and windows. I understand I need to create a "linux-swap" partition. How many GB should I give it? [22:33] fde: He shouldn't need to. He's got all the info he needs. [22:33] * blizzle smiles. [22:33] kingsley: okay, i have a vaio vgn-fz series laptop. the backlight and its buttons dont work out of the box, so i installed nvclock and edited the keybindings so that the keys work for it. however, for some reason, it only works after i restart acpi per session [22:34] Chester; 2Gig should be more than plenty [22:34] sickdude: ubuntu-restricted-extras will allow you to play most media files you want to grab, it'll also grab common microsoft fonts for better formatting if you receive files from family from MS Office... it also does Java and Flash... everything you might need really [22:34] lol duel boot [22:34] thats it? [22:34] are they going to fight to the death to see who remains on the hard drive? [22:34] Chester; that is all you should ever need. you can do more if you feel like it [22:34] blizzle: primary point being this isn't where you ask about Windows issues ;) [22:35] fde: nice one thanks [22:35] hey guys i am runing ubuntu 7.04 live cd. but i can not seem to set up network sharing. i get this error "The Congifuration could not be loaded, youet this erroret this error are not allowed to access the system configuration. but i am runmning the command as root "sudo shares-admin" " [22:35] fde: nice command [22:35] what is the purpose of a linux swap partition? [22:35] fde: Agreed :) I was being overgenerous I fear ;) [22:35] Chester: A. how much ram do you have B. is it a laptop C. do you ever want to suspend to disk if so [22:35] !swap | Chester [22:35] Chester: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [22:35] blizzle: I'm not using a firewall for windows, I went to "Windows Firewall" and it says not installed [22:35] tempmonkey: try sudo -i then run shares-admin [22:35] D. what do you plan to run [22:35] Chester: for a desktop PC 1-2 GB if you don't want to hibernate, else as much as you have RAM [22:35] I have 120 GB and it is a laptop [22:36] blizzle: its fine, but if you answer such questions once, they inevitably continue asking more... its sort of a pet peeve of mine: offtopic chat [22:36] 120 GB of ram? D: [22:36] so basicly How do i set up network sharing on ubuntu 7.04 live CD?? [22:36] sorry 1 gb of ram [22:36] Is 7.04 even supported anymore? [22:36] My network manager is claiming "device is unmanaged" [22:36] felicia: Is my understanding correct that after booting your vaio vgn-fz series laptop, its screen is dark, until you type "/etc/init.d restart", at which time its screen becomes bright again?

[22:38] Entirely too different to sysvinit for my liking [22:38] lsb_release -a [22:38] felicia: How do you normally adjust the brightness? [22:39] kingsley: if i dont run 'sudo /etc/init.d/acpid restart', i have to use the command line to do it [22:39] Q. I am validating a business case for using Ubuntu server instead of Red Hat/CentOS for a production environment. Can you please help me find some data points? Thanks in advance. I'm googling for information but any pointers are welcime.

Then click every single link on the site, and read the articles. and click every link in every linked page. and so on. When you've read all of that, come back and see if you can't rephrase that (or apologize for your previous behavior). :) [22:41] fde, guntbert: Cool - I'm heading to that channel. Thanks for your help. [22:41] felicia: Is my understanding correct that neither 'sudo nvclock -S 10' or fn+f5/f6 work until you do '/etc/init.d/acpid restart'? [22:41] pr3d4t0r: strictly speaking about technical matters... CentOS will serve you far better than Ubuntu will... === mindslant is now known as noblestar [22:41] HI! i finally got the cube figured out. thanks for your help. when I enable the raining effect all of my windows and desktops turn blank. why is that?

[22:43] kingsley: yes [22:43] <_VIM_> DigitalKiwi: what ISNT buggy in the computer/tech world?

[22:46] noblestar: In most IRC clients /server irc.example.com [22:46] synthetic geeks [22:46] xkill in terminal is a force quit [22:46] marius_ilina: if you go into System > Preferences > Screen Resolution and change it back, does it take the setting? If not, you might have to log out/back in to get additional resolutions [22:46] DigitalKiwi: so what your saying is the only way to do it is to shutdown the system and reboot?? [22:47] well..it depends on which partition you want to fsck [22:47] I have a folder in my Trash and apparently I don't have the permissions to delete it. Is there a way to empty the trash for a specific user in ternimal under sudo? [22:47] I tried to write in irc.syntheticgeeks.com doesn't seem to work [22:47] kingsley: it changes the brightness to 10 percent [22:47] Doonz: most of the filesystem types can't be scanned while they're mounted [22:47] if it's home or root or any partition you can't unmount, then yeah [22:47] ok Its not a mounted drive [22:47] Doonz: you probably want fsck ... it will check on reboot though if something bad happened [22:47] Royall: sudo rm -rf /home/username/.local/share/Trash [22:47] man fsck [22:47] what is contained in directories such as /home/$USER/.fr-* ? some sort of cache files?

[22:50] Hi, I have a question regarding bandwidth on an Ubuntu server. I just had a really big overage on bandwidth in the past few days and I can't figure out why. I ran webalizer on all my vhosts but it doesn't add up to even 10% of the bandwidth used up. Where else could I look? [22:50] tharvey, well, wine for example, stores everything the .wine directory [22:50] I have ntop installed now, but that won't help me find out what happened. [22:50] felicia: Hold on... [22:50] tharvey, so if you run wine, a major chuck is prolly set up there [22:50] <_VIM_> noblestar: well it pings just fine for me, it should work,,, you typed /server irc.syntheticgeeks.com in a irc client correct? [22:50] tharvey, evolution sends POP mail to a hidden folder, etc [22:50] Titan8990, I understand hidden dirs... just trying to understand what 'owns' these [22:51] looks like in one of the dirs there is a tarball of perhaps my home dir... some automated backup software? [22:51] tharvey, havn't heard of it, but possible [22:51] tharvey: are you using Mint? Kubuntu? afaik regular Ubuntu doesn't come with backup software [22:51] ie, /home/tharvey/.fr-FFUIUA/tharvey (only file in that dir) according to hexdump is a ustar [22:51] standard Ubuntu 8.04 with gnome desktop [22:52] tharvey, make a temporary backup and delete it [22:52] how do I install a screenlet [22:52] tharvey, replace if it causes problems [22:52] file was written to last like 6 mo's ago [22:52] szrhawaii, install the screenlets package in synaptic.... [22:52] a [22:52] thanks titan [22:52] fde: the resolution is fine, only the way things look is wrong. is sais it's 1024*768 but it looks like 800*600 [22:52] tharvey, you don't have to make the backup but I make backups of everything before I make changes [22:53] felicia: Thank you for your patience. I think I now understand the problem. (And I wanted to answer the phone.) [22:53] how do I force the use of a specific wifi network.. now network-manager just auto-selects one.. [22:53] marius_ilina: hmm... try changing the fonts settings? widgets are resizable based on font size [22:53] there are three .fr-* dirs each with what looks like a tarball of my home dir - I didn't creat them myself [22:53] i tried wifi-radar, but it seems broken [22:53] tharvey, but then again ubuntu reinstall proccess is not days long like it is with my distro [22:53] how do i force a rescan of of hard disks?

I had to replaced a failed drive. im trying to figure out howto make the system see the new drive === Andry_Sleeps is now known as Andry [22:53] hi all; I'm having some serious wifi issues. I'm running 8.04 on a dell m1330 with a broadcom wifi board. I can only connect (sometimes!) to unsecured networks, and speeds are beyond unacceptable. I'm not using the broadcom driver that appears in Hardware Settings. I was wondering if someone could point me to a fix for this issue (I've searched the forms, but I couldn't quite find "the" answer) [22:53] Doonz, if your board support hotswapping, it will show up immediatly on its own [22:54] felicia: I'm aware that power managment software, like acpi, tends to be more problematic. [22:54] <_VIM_> Titan8990: 'my distro'?

You might learn something interesting. 2.) You might solve the core problem, which would allow you to use fn+f5/f6, and 3.) the core problem wouldn't pop up some other way.

[23:41] Coded__: do you have anything in interfaces for that interface? [23:41] Sarai sudo mkdir /media/drive4you then sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/drive4you substitute your drive for sda1 [23:41] I need some extreme help here [23:41] fde: i have same problem in evince [23:41] filosofixit, I would looks specifically at the community contributed ubuntu wiki [23:41] When I have an USB mass storage device connected to my computer, how to find out on command line which device to mount?

I've been experiencing some problems getting the Alfa Wi-Fi USB adapter to work in Intrepid. Network Manager reports only a 16% signal. I'm using the native RTL8187 Realtek drivers. Could someone point me in the right direction? :) [23:42] Coded__: I didn't make that suggestion. Im suggesting to look in /etc/interfaces [23:42] thx [23:42] sry about that [23:42] I'm using the 180 nvidia drivers, and used xrandr to add the resolution and set it [23:42] hlm: uhh, if you aren't using an image... its possible to shade to a given color... but it is neither real transparency, nor required to be the system color scheme... [23:42] Coded__, iw1345 drivers? [23:42] Sarai: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_edgy_eft_ntfs_ntfs_3g [23:42] When trying to set the resoultion I get this error: kim@kim-desktop:~$ xrandr --output 0x1ac --mode 1280x1024_60.00 [23:42] xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed [23:42] hi can someone help me [23:42] hlm: if you happen to want any kind of texture to your panel along with the fake transparency though, that is also not possible. [23:43] stealthy451, you should configure your resolutions in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:43] Titan8990: The resolution is present in xorg.conf and being ignored [23:43] Titan8990: yes the driver shows up in lspci [23:43] Sarai sudo mkdir /media/drive4you then sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/drive4you substitute your drive for sda1 [23:43] hlm: Plasma's panel allows both, however [23:43] what directory is interfaces in again? /etc/init.d/? [23:43] Titan8990: I even tried adding a modeline and that didn't work [23:43] Coded__: /etc/network [23:43] fde, what are the 'plasma' panels? [23:43] Coded__, lsmod you mean? I think that it is a bug in those particular drivers, unsure on a fix [23:43] -INSANE-PRIEST--INSANE-PRIEST--INSAN [23:43] I___________,.-------.,____________I Slashdot [23:44] N______,;~'_____________'~;,_______N fucking [23:44] hlm: part of KDE4 [23:44] maggot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Someone in #xubuntu recommended that I come in here. I am trying to set up something called "FreeNX" but I am not having a lot of success. I was hoping someone could help me out. I do not know a lot about this stuff.. [23:44] stealthy451, possibly, .gnome dir for your home folder? [23:44] Coded__: o yeah, its in /etc/network/ , sorry about that [23:44] Titan8990: What do you mean? [23:44] actually only eth0 is there [23:44] sorry not even just loopback [23:44] Titan8990: there's no .gnome dir in ~/ [23:45] gnome2? [23:45] stealthy451, yes [23:45] stealthy451, but that is just an idea, good chance it is incorrect [23:45] accels keyrings nautilus-scripts nautilus-sendto panel2.d share [23:46] Titan8990: I have no idea what's going on with it and am very tempted to just throw XP back on [23:46] hello all - so i deleted a directory, but changed my mind and canceled the operation... the directory disappeared but the 30 GB that were in it weren't free'd up.

[23:47] nvidia, yes [23:47] Jack_Sparrow: I finally got the folder to x out and it seems to have mounted my recovery drive.
