Kernel replacement is nothing took a few min [00:04] did you try to install the drivers yourself when you used the generic ISO Fiftyone ?

There's PIDGN [00:09] is this the internet? [00:09] fo: maybe google how to play dvds with mplayer?

[00:09] filsuf: this comment too [00:09] so the mac is just a partition too? do you mount it correctly? [00:10] Im actually on my mobile phone === brodie_ is now known as schenn [00:10] how about an irc client that supports ipv6 [00:10] Fiftyone: what phone? [00:10] hey gays and guys : ONLY jews ask questions¦¢ HAAHA hhahaha]} [00:10] No the mac drive is out of an old laptop via usb [00:10] E3co im on nokia e63 awesome phone [00:11] OK guys I have a question and problem I really need help with. The problem is with my wireless card, Intel PRO/Wireless 3945. It will pick up a lot of wireless networks but not mine. I have a linksys WRT160N router. The router is set to send all types (b/g/n). Second does anybody have a recommendion for a good torrent client. I am used to using utorrent on my mac and in xp. I need something that can do things like select only certi [00:11] Using a prog called mirGGi [00:11] For irc [00:11] for some odd reasons my computer's screen froze without notice and then all I could do was press the reboot button. Now, during boot time, the progress bar stops halfway for about 5 mins before it resumes rebooting.. What could be the problem? This also happened to me when I used intrepid. I am now using hardy... [00:11] tyrosine2, just used mplayer dvd://1 [00:11] make it easier Fiftyone ... copy that to an external HD [00:11] cizorty: why you need ipv6 in an irc-client? [00:11] it opens up a window where the video should be playing but its just black [00:11] if your mac can go online and the file is not that huge .... use skype! [00:12] that's what I normally do [00:12] just create 2 skype accounts for file-transfer [00:12] its huge and the mac is trashed === Xenos is now known as tor [00:12] I just have the hd [00:12] can you actually read the Mac drive or not? [00:12] HFS? [00:13] skype to transfer files...that is quite possibly the most retarded thing I've heard in the last hour :/ [00:13] Yes i read it fine but some files are restricted because of the premission problem [00:13] Kiwi is kinda retarded I heard [00:13] any help pls... [00:13] Anyone know why when I unplug the computer from AC power the lightness doesn't dim, but when I plug it back in it does dim on xfce and on gnome works fine === schenn is now known as brodie_ [00:14] then change the permission Fiftyone ... if you cant change it ... rename it [00:14] for some odd reasons my computer's screen froze without notice and then all I could do was press the reboot button. Now, during boot time, the progress bar stops halfway for about 5 mins before it resumes rebooting.. What could be the problem? This also happened to me when I used intrepid. I am now using hardy... [00:14] if you cant rename it ... zip it . then copy the zip [00:14] DIFH-iceroot: i like to promote ipv6, i was on a ipv6 irc server yesterday with a windows client not mirc [00:14] A vulnerability in Linksys WRT160N, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks. [00:14] Input passed to the "action" parameter in apply.cgi is not properly sanitised before being returned to the administrator. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in an administrator"s browser session in context of an affected device. [00:14] i can do nothing with it [00:14] this is just a practical advice for not indulging in the mess of permission jungle [00:14] Someone just gave me a 2GB USB flash drive and I haven't been able to see past 2MB. Nothing I do with fdisk, gpart or gparted is working. Any hints? [00:14] can you less it Fiftyone ? [00:15] jegomez: cfdisk it [00:15] how can one operating system fail so hard [00:15] jegomez: Tie them to the wheel and tell them to give you the encryption key or you'll, you'll, you'll! [00:15] thedude420: just use transmission or a cli version of something [00:15] tor: I don't care about the content. I just want to format it and use it anew [00:16] mkfs.ext3 it? [00:16] thedude420: for your torrents [00:16] hello im trying to copy a file from an old mac hard disk i have but there are premission peoblems which wont even let me view the files. I tried sudo cp -f to a local dir but it keeps saying obiting 'FILE NAME IM TRYING TO COPY' any ideas how i can access these files? [00:16] Hi, my wireless connection is working but only for like 5 min after it freezes, after that even if I disconnect/reconnect there is absolutely no way to reconnect back. Anyone know about this? [00:16] thedude420:: is your router set to broadcast ssid? [00:16] * Until_It_Sleeps smooches whoever it was that helped him restore GRUB === tor is now known as Xenos [00:17] Fiftyone: so you can mount the drive? [00:18] E3co yes its mounted and i am browsing it now however some fils and dir are locked [00:18] im trying to get the gui for xmms to work on my desktop but not sure how any help on this [00:18] how about sudo chmod -R 777 /mountpoint [00:19] Do you guys support Kubuntu, or is that in a different channel? [00:19] Let me try [00:19] <_VIM_> Until_It_Sleeps #Kubuntu [00:19] Until_It_Sleeps, some here, kde specific #kubuntu [00:19] Until_It_Sleeps: ask away [00:19] :D [00:19] How would I connect to a wireless network in Kubuntu? [00:20] <_VIM_> KDE ftw, i just dont like #Kubuntu cause no one talks :( [00:20] Depending on the drive it could take a while [00:20] on my test Ubuntu Server, when I run a "aptitude install" command I am told that "the following packages have been kept back: linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server" Why? [00:20] !xmms | szrhawaii [00:20] szrhawaii: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. [00:20] Until_It_Sleeps: does your wireless adapter show up in "ifconfig"? [00:20] Specifically, it was installed via a LinuxMCE dvd [00:20] when I start my computer it starts the CPU in the -g powersave governor so I always have to run cpufreq-selector -g performance [00:20] sorry it is xmms2 [00:20] how can I change the startup mode/ [00:21] szrhawaii: audacious is the way to go, not xmms2 [00:21] Travis-42: I notice that when I run apt from the cli that sometimes happens. If you install xorg and update-manager you can use update manager without ever loaded gnome [00:21] loaded=loading [00:21] ok ill try that out [00:21] Hi guys. How do I change the login screen theme from the command line? [00:21] szrhawaii: just apt-get install it, it'll perform just like xmms used to [00:21] BCampbell: I yes, that is what is confusing me so much oh and to correct myself it is a wrt110N [00:21] tyrosine2: tried cfdisk on the flash drive, same thing (it only sees 2MB) [00:22] ok sounds good doing that right now [00:22] Travis-42: its the same line of research as " a headless virtualbox ubuntu server" google it. [00:22] Travis-42, generally a package is held back because a package it depends upon could not be upgraded [00:22] tyrosine2: I assume the fact that a "wlan0" section means yes> [00:22] thanks e3co, I'll look into it [00:23] nickrud_: is that common for things like "linux-server" ? [00:23] nickrud: I have seen this happen before as well. If i run update-manager it works fine [00:23] jegomez: then use cfdisk to erase the partitions and make your own 2GB partition [00:23] ah, actually it starts in the ondemand governor but it doesn't ever seem to raise the freq when it's needed [00:23] Travis-42, not really. Check what e3co is googling, seems like he's seen this specific error before [00:23] Until_It_Sleeps: kwifimanager? [00:24] e3co, I'd be interested in the cause, since aptitude usually has excellent warning systems [00:24] tyrosine2: I delete the partitions, but cfdisk won't let me enter a size larger than 2 for the new one [00:24] Currently not installed. [00:24] mine isn't a fix its just a work around that gives you the option of running graphic applications without gnome === utahC4N is now known as C4N [00:24] jegomez: maybe you could just pop it in an 'ol windows machine and get it working that way? [00:25] hello im trying to copy a file from an old mac hard disk i have but there are premission peoblems which wont even let me view the files. I tried sudo cp -f to a local dir but it keeps saying obiting 'FILE NAME IM TRYING TO COPY' any ideas how i can access these files? [00:25] and I have no way to download it without connecting to my wireless network. [00:25] jegomez: I have a 2gb USB drive that works fine on ubuntu - autodetected it the first time I plugged it in [00:25] Hey can anyone help me with manually replacing files that are missing out of rhythmbox? [00:25] tyrosine2: this has (had) some kind of encrypted partition (I imagine) [00:25] Fiftyone: no love with chmod? [00:26] I'm running Ubuntu on a slower machine than I'm used to: 1.6ghz P4, with 512ram It's not very responsive, and can be down right slow at times, is there anything other than changing Effects to "none" (which I already did) that can help? [00:26] OMG .... so ... I can reuse my old SD card for installing Windows or Linux on my future Asus EEE [00:26] that is nice! [00:26] joshjtl: using xubuntu-desktop instead of gnome [00:26] jdmnynja, sudo apt-get reinstall rhythmbox should replace any missing files, with the exception of /etc [00:26] e3co naw [00:26] Damn thing [00:26] thedude420:: the only thing I can think of is you're on two different channels? I know it shouldn't matter, but you never know [00:27] nickrud_: no that solution only gives me E: rhythmbox: subprocess pre-removal script returned error status 2 === rubix_ is now known as rubix [00:27] DIFH-iceroot: yeah I was considering that, but the problem is this system is my parents and theyre used to windows, so I dont think that they will be that comfortable with XFCE [00:27] joshjtl: ok === rubix is now known as magic_ninja [00:27] ah, put the complete error on paste.ubuntu.com. from the start of the command till the end [00:27] nickrud_: I've tried to purge, remove, install, a lot of things. nothing worked. the only solution I can find to it is to manually replace the missing files from the package. [00:28] if you install msttcorefonts via synaptic, does gnome switch to using them by default? [00:28] LogicFan, no, they are simply available. Mostly good for web sites that prefer them [00:28] DIFH-iceroot: anything else I can do? [00:28] nickrud, thanks, appreciate it [00:30] did some looking and it looks like I am out of luck with ubuntu and linksys WRT110. Thanks anyways guys [00:30] joshjtl: check private messeges [00:31] hello [00:31] does any1 know about socket programming? [00:31] joshjtl: hm, sorry dont know [00:31] Hi, does anyone know how to convert TOAST file to ISO file ? [00:31] jdmnynja, did you put the output up? if so, give me the link so I can see the full error report [00:31] Hi all [00:31] daa [00:31] ? [00:31] what is extention of toad .img? [00:31] toad=toast [00:31] nickrud_: i did put the output up, but I don't have the link. what do you want me to run so you can see? [00:32] Hi, I cant click anything on my desktop for some reason [00:32] FluxD: what WM u usin? [00:32] jdmnynja, when you hit submit, the url in the location bar changes to include a number. That full url is what I need so I can see the page [00:32] FluxD it's safer :) [00:32] I have a quick n00b question. I just hooked a Cannon S9000 printer up via USB - and Ubuntu picked it up right away / shows up as my default. However, I get no options for paper size other then LTR, and actual printing brings up a generic 'error' message. Sound familiar? Msg me, thanks! (not a tech-guy btw, plain english needed!) [00:32] tyrosine2, compiz, but then I went back to metacity but same problem [00:32] how do I remove a package, including any confg files? (I want it to ask for options when I re-install) [00:32] lol djamel [00:32] :) [00:32] CarlFK, sudo apt-get purge [00:33] nickrud_: hold on I will have to go make a link [00:33] Hi, does anyone know how to convert .TOAST file to ISO file ? [00:33] good morning all :) [00:33] How do I change my login screen gnome theme from command line? [00:34] nickrud - no luck. sudo apt-get purge mysql-server ... sudo apt-get install mysql-server - didn't aske me for the admin pw [00:34] jove: mv a.toast a.iso [00:34] tyrosine2, any ideas? [00:34] FluxD: are you referring to icons which cannot be clicked? [00:34] tyrosine2, is that simple and easy ? [00:34] hello how do I change the color of active windows in the task list(in the .gtkrc-2.0 file)? [00:34] are there any nice "tours" of Ubuntu for windows users? I'd like to have something for my parents to flip through to get a little more aquainted with Ubuntu, and how to do their normal Windows in Ubuntu [00:34] tyrosine2, yea, and I cannot right click, sam e also when I start nautlus cant click anything inside [00:34] nickrud - but man apt-get says (any configuration files are deleted too).... huh. [00:34] jove: totally. Using the "mv" tool, you can convert anything to anything! [00:35] CarlFK, ah, the db already exists so the installer uses the existing root password [00:35] someone answered this well for me, but I can't find the response and forgot what they said [00:35] FluxD: are you sure your mouse isn't broken :-p [00:35] jove: what is a TOAST file? [00:35] If you use the new tool to create a USB live boot disk is there a way to make it keep drivers installed (ie ATI, Broadcom) after reboot? [00:35] tyrosine2, no its not broken [00:35] CarlFK, the password isn't in the configuration stuff , but in the db. If you told it to delete the db, then you would get asked for the root password [00:35] joshjtl: it was me, and the ubuntu docs page has a transition page just for windows users [00:35] nickrud - yeah - any clue how to toast it? [00:36] CarlFK, doesn't it ask you if you want to keep the db or not when you purge? [00:36] how do i install a monitor on 8.04.2 Hardy? [00:36] Kai_Itaho: plug it in the VGA port [00:36] nickrud nope [00:36] tyrosine2, I read in the internet that must convert to a raw file ....Have U done this specific .toast convert to ISO before ? [00:36] nickrud_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/119878/ [00:36] jove: that was a joke. "mv" just renames the file ;-) [00:36] it doesnt pick up when i plug it in [00:36] thanks tyrosine2 where can I find that page... /usr/docs ? [00:36] CarlFK, sudo rm -r /var/lib/mysql from memory, I don't have a mysql install in this vm [00:36] WOAH [00:36] never mind [00:37] hahahaha that was a stupid question [00:37] tyrosine2, then i won't work as your guidance [00:37] yay [00:37] CarlFK, rename the .toast in .iso & burn it that's all [00:37] windows computer playing this dvd with no problem. in vlc. same program i'm using in ubuntu. why [00:37] now, how do i change the resolution on my second monitor but keep the same on my laptop? [00:38] nickrud_: did that link work for you? [00:38] joshjtl: http://help.ubuntu.com - select 8.10 - and click "switching from windows" at the bottom [00:38] ohhh thanks tyrosine2 [00:38] Tyrosine...is your name an amino acid o.O? [00:38] jdmnynja, gksu gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/rhythmbox.prerm, add a line after set -e and put exit 0 there. Then save and exit, rerun the apt-get purge rhythmbox . We'll just ignore removing that since it's not there. I assume you deleted it by hand? [00:38] guys....my linux have no sound [00:38] how can i fix this [00:38] yes, tyrosine is one of the twenty essential amino acids! [00:38] i m using realtek conexant [00:38] joshjtl: youtube works really well for that, surprisingly [00:38] it is also aromatic [00:38] tyrosine2: windows formatted it as a 2MB drive, it couldn't see past that [00:39] hello im trying to copy a file from an old mac hard disk i have but there are premission peoblems which wont even let me view the files. I tried sudo cp -f to a local dir but it keeps saying obiting 'FILE NAME IM TRYING TO COPY' any ideas how i can access these files? [00:39] fo: there are 22 now ;-) [00:39] thats what i thought! haha! [00:39] nickrud_: i never touched rhythmbox. that error has been there since i installed ubuntu. [00:39] whateva [00:39] jdmnynja, that's verrry odd. [00:39] fo: selenocysteine is #21 [00:39] well 22 important ones for the growth of humans [00:39] arent there MILLIONS others?

[00:39] essential = needed from food [00:39] i c [00:39] can themes(gtk, metacity, icons) make a difference on a systems speed? [00:39] which one the baseball players use? [00:40] crack rocks [00:40] jdmnynja, I'd bee leary of that install myself, if you truly haven't deleted those files under /usr [00:40] hey guys how can i fix my audio.....my linux have no sound....i m using realtek conexant [00:40] jegomez: ever consider that your USB drive is actually only 2mb? [00:40] nickrud_: i know. it started when I first installed and started updated my system. it keeps popping up and error related to rhythmbox and is not allowing me to run flash [00:40] Tyr, is there a way i can change the resolution on my monitor? [00:40] anyone have any clue how much bandwidth the vnc server actually eats up with the default settings? [00:40] joshjtl, gtk can. Different themes use different theme engines, and some take a lot more processing power [00:40] hey guys how can i fix my audio.....my linux have no sound....i m using realtek conexant [00:40] it doesnt go above 1280x800 [00:40] tyrosine2: with ubuntu? system -> prefs -> screen resolution [00:41] say @ a res of 1024x768 === Cxoliac is now known as Sevink [00:41] tyrosine2: heh, I almost did. It does say "2GB" on it, though... [00:41] nickrud_: other than that error, nothing is running bad at all. I read this article http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-562594.html and it seems there is others with this issue. [00:41] anybody can help me ?? [00:41] jdmnynja, it won't let you install anything. Anyway, that command will fix apt for you [00:41] i want 1680x1050 but that's not a choice :S [00:41] jegomez: it was probably made in mexico then. they count memory size in pesos. It's 2 gigapesos.

[00:42] tyrosine2: I doubt it would have made it this far. 2MB drives were probably made back in the 80s [00:42] hello! Welcome to #ubuntu help IRC chat [00:42] would someone mind giving me a hand? [00:42] Sal__: maybe your VIDEO CARD doesn't support higher resolutions? [00:42] nickrud_: hey im not really understanding your command to put in. what do i do again? [00:42] jdmnynja, gksu gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/rhythmbox.prerm, add a line after set -e and put exit 0 there. Then save and exit, rerun the apt-get purge rhythmbox . We'll just ignore removing that since it's not there. I assume you deleted it by hand? [00:42] tyro my question is how much bandwidth is eating up?

I wanted to add other users, since i have roommates, etc. (using xfce) i went to system -> users & groups and was met by a message 'The configuration coud not be loaded, you are not allowed to access the system configuation [close]" [00:46] jove: what are you doing?

The drivers may not be working completely. You can do glxgears from the terminal to check [00:48] jdmnynja, ok, what we've done here is tell this script to exit when it gets to this line. If you look below it, you'll see the commands that fail. We're simply not going to run them. [00:49] jdmnynja, now, save and close the text editor [00:49] nickrud_: all right.

[00:50] sry [00:51] * Marfi waves to Jack_Sparrow [00:51] would the command be sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree? [00:51] tuxflavrdwafls: 'sudo apt-get update' will make sure all packages are up to date [00:51] Marfi: one moment [00:51] wish my G3 had wifi XD [00:51] stealthy45, mmkay [00:51] jdmnynja, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree will do it from the command line [00:52] nickrud_: it says that it is already the newest version. but i cannot run youtube videos [00:52] glenrock thankyou [00:52] jdmnynja, ah, that's a different problem then. But at least apt is fixed :) [00:53] hey i need help, what is the default user in postgre instaled via apt-get? [00:53] ?

[00:58] i have: [ my name ] [ my 2und channel(+JLfnt) ] [Act: 1,3] <-- What does it mean ? [00:58] stealthy45, there are a few posts on google. The one that I remember doing is to explicitly set xorg.conf to use the 1280x1024. You could also look up the specs for the monitor, and make a modeline like that [00:58] jdmnynja, did you try installing flash in any other way, besides using ubuntu repositories? [00:58] nickrud_: all right i am running WIN 9,0,999,9 debug player: no [00:58] nickrud_: i believe i did try to install it from the browser. [00:58] houlaa: New stuff happened in windows 1 and 3. You can switch to those windows with Alt-1 and Alt-3. [00:59] ah, that is very strange. WIN? Should be LNX [00:59] Do you have Asbestos Poisoning? [00:59] Meeso Thelioma [00:59] nickrud_: i know, thats what i was thinking. maybe i can purge it and then reinstall? [00:59] rww, it doesn't work [00:59] nickrud_: i am also running 64 bit so that may change things up [00:59] houlaa: are you running gnome-terminal with more than one tab open? that tends to screw it up. [00:59] how do i install a nvidia driver? i downloaded it but i dont know how to run/install it? [01:00] nop [01:00] Kai_Itaho, use the restricted driver's manager. System > admin > hardware drivers [01:00] rww, i am using yakuake [01:00] jdmnynja, no, those are two different places to install from. try looking in ~/.mozilla/plugins ; I'm not sure where the browser way installs. And, 64 bit I'm not sure about. [01:00] jdmnynja, to be honest, you're probably better off finding someone who knows what they're talking about when it comes to flash :) [01:00] what if i want to use the one i downloaded? [01:00] rww, but it's the same i think [01:01] nickrud_: all right man. i'll ask around. thanks for your help on the rhythmbox crap though!

NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.29-pkg2.run [01:03] jdmnynja, ok, take care then and good luck with flash [01:03] jdmnynja:: have you rad the forum on 64bit and flash? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=772490 [01:03] nickrud_: thanks!

[01:10] whileimhere, As big as you can fit [01:10] austin, can the computer see the mic? [01:10] so... some total commander substitute for me? [01:10] Marfi: how do i know if it can? [01:10] Marfi I have a 40 gig drive that is all [01:10] whileimhere: As much space as you feel like dedicating to it, with a recommendation that you use more than 8GB. [01:10] whileimhere, that will work [01:11] but I was hoping to partition it so that I have a swap, /, and a /home [01:11] austin, Try using soundrecorder to record the sound. You could also check your sound properties, and turn the volume of the mic up [01:11] Aloha. Anyone know a quick link that actually makes sense to the uninitiated on how to change file permissions? [01:11] whileimhere, Ubuntu will automatically do that for you [01:11] Marfi: Still "No valid modes for "1280x1024"; removing.

[01:24] Arch_NME: sudo nano /etc/fstab or gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [01:24] allquixotic: if that doesn't work, use Synaptic, select your package, and from the menu Package > Lock version - it "pins" the version and doesn't allow it to show newer ones [01:24] Arch_NME, open with sudo [01:24] When I open up the CD/DVD Creator folder (built into Nautilus) I now get two differerent buttons that say "Write to Disc".

[02:30] bullgard4: but that CPU sounds is continuous and it annoys me. are you sure its normal?

[02:44] jbuncher that would depend on the content, partimage used gzip so you could compress it with gzip and it should give you a rough idea, [02:44] THX it can but you need to make sure you are careful [02:44] Would anyone happen to know where the configuration files for the nfs server are stored?

[02:45] THX then use the hardware manager to create a new partition and install to that [02:46] jdmnynja: is the old one deactivated? [02:46] genii, koshari: thanks for the info. I've made images with dd before, but I've never used partimage. Does the "restore" function of partimage need to have the partitions already created? [02:46] hardware manager is on the ubuntu cd?

[02:47] jdmnynja: ok, go to preferences and the forth section in the navigation [02:47] mrshts i think its the phone that gives the problem [02:48] koshari: I guess my last question would be, is there a program (fdisk, gparted) that is capable of making a 1TB fat32 partition?

[02:52] Royall you cannot, [02:52] jmsthing678, I see no hardware manager [02:52] jdmnynja: exactly, now navigate to ~/.mozilla/plugins and choose the .so file [02:52] THX hold on Im gettin on my xp machine [02:52] Gawdly flash on 64 bit is flacky at best [02:52] Raylz: okay. what after that [02:52] jdmnynja: both set? [02:52] ok jmsthing678 [02:53] jdmnynja: then close the window and restart firefox [02:53] Raylz: one moment [02:53] THX ok so in the computer management window you click on disk management [02:53] The flash alpha for 64 bit from adobe works fine for me. [02:53] Hi, I'm running 8.10 x86_64. i have a dvd drive with dma enabled, but when I test the read speed with hdparm I'm getting rates of less that 1mb/s. tried with different discs, same thing. it takes hours to rip a dvd. i thought that I had configd my kernel incorrectly, but i get the same result in the livecd. any ideas? [02:53] nightrid3r: there's no work around? [02:53] It's been a memory hog a few times, but otherwise it works. [02:53] Ok, then, the other approach: When I try to mount an external drive of mine via nautilus, it says I'm not priviledged. But when I try to mount it in terminal (ie 'sudo mount /media/[re]drive') it says that directory doesn't exist. [02:53] ok, jmsthing678_ [02:53] Gawdly: Try the flash alpha provided by adobe. [02:53] Raylz: i have nothing showing up [02:53] THX that will be under storage tab [02:54] they only link to the i386 version [02:54] phobiac says the alpha from adobe works fine on 64 bit [02:54] Royall use fstab to mount the drive [02:54] jdmnynja: what firefox version are you using? [02:54] jmsthing678_, I see that [02:54] Gawdly: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/ [02:54] THX that is how you manage partitions in windows xp you might have to click around a bit to get it to work [02:54] raylz: version 3.0.6 [02:54] Oh wait, wrong link. [02:54] koshari: fstab is a command? [02:54] ooook this is freaking weird [02:54] my screen just inverted it seems [02:54] color wise [02:54] jdmnynja: hm, ok, i rly dont know what to do then [02:54] Gawdly: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html Linux 64 is at the bottom. [02:55] thx dude [02:55] jdmnynja: must be some flash issue [02:55] everything is like the reverse of the normal colors [02:55] jdmnynja: maybe grahics [02:55] Royall its a config file for mount [02:55] raylz: you think it could be the graphics card? [02:55] Gawdly: Do you know how to install it? It's a manual install. [02:55] after i installed a new distribution in other partition, ubuntu acted weird, now gnome says on startup "could not open hal" or something like that. and my apt doesn't work, it says /var/cache/apt/archives/partial doesn't exist, and it really doesn't, in fact not even /var/cache/apt exists, how can i fix it [02:55] jdmnynja: did you install the driver yet? [02:55] Raylz: let me try. [02:55] jmsthing678_, "convert to dynamic disk"? [02:55] koshari: I already added an entry to fstab, but it doesn't seem to mount when I log off and then log on again [02:56] Now as I was saying before, Whenever I am in a full screen game everything looks like it has been through a cheese grater [02:56] Raylz: i may not have, i was having issues installing it earlier [02:56] wow that was weird [02:56] jdmnynja: the new flash version changed the way it renders videos [02:56] hey everyone hit Super+M [02:56] jdmnynja: what grahpiccard are you using? [02:56] Royall dont log off/onn use mount -a [02:57] getting bored yet? [02:57] slide: hehe weird [02:57] Royall, yea, really freaked me out [02:57] hahah [02:57] didnt mean to do it [02:57] Super+N does only the current window [02:57] jmsthing678_, I don't see any option to create new partition, I'll research it a bit, thanks [02:57] raylz: not sure. i had to swap it out when i installed my OS. its a PNY something. [02:57] koshari: only lets me do it under root, then: fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/[re]drive: No such file or directory [02:57] i like super e [02:57] Raylz: i have a geforce fx sitting here I need to put in. [02:58] THX sry I dont know very much beyond that point [02:58] np [02:58] Royall you have a permissions issue then [02:58] koshari: where do I change that? [02:58] jdmnynja: try system -> System Settings -> Hardware [02:58] what the name of the channel for Jaunty? [02:58] whats the placeholder dir permissions? [02:58] is anyone running ubuntu on current hardware? [02:58] As usual, im here with a stupid question. Right now i have: p = current_user.posts -- Can i order by Post's weight? Something like current_user.posts(:order => "weight ASC") ? [02:58] koshari, can gparted create and format 1TB partitions in fat32? [02:58] * Royall tries a restart [02:58] Now as I was saying before, Whenever I am in a full screen game everything looks like it has been through a cheese grater. Surely SOMEONE knows how to fix this? [02:59] THX^ you can use the gparted iso to resize your windows partition to make room for ubuntu [02:59] jbuncher yes [02:59] in the console, it does not change the order at all [02:59] well 'a cheese grater' tells us nothing [02:59] koshari, thanks [02:59] can any1 help me with my sound driver? [02:59] jbuncher it cant create the parttitions but can back them up, use gparted to create the partition, [02:59] there is no sound [02:59] Raylz: there is no system settings hardware options [03:00] I am getting a weird sound everytime i hit the end of a list...for example scrolling down...and when it hits the end it makes a weird noise fomr the internal speaker [03:00] carpii__ thats exactly what it looks like everything loosk shredder and out of order its very difficult to see anything but colors of what Im supposed to be seein g [03:00] jbuncher its not a great ide to use fat32 for a 1tb partition [03:00] So i have windows on my hard disk, i know because im using it rihgt now and before i installed it i had a / and a /home partiton for ubuntu but now, when i go to install ubuntu (grub restore didnt work) it doesnt detect ANY partitons, it just sees empty HD btw my data is backed up, so no need to worry about that [03:00] jms, check your video drivers are correct [03:01] carpii__ drivers are fine [03:01] can some1 help me with my sound driver.......there is no sound on my ubuntu pls help [03:01] jdmnynja: there must be some hardware or restricted hardware or restricted drivers in the system menu [03:01] jdmnynja: im using a german version of gnome, sry [03:02] raylz do u know how to fix the sound problem? [03:02] how do I scroll up in a 'screen' session? [03:02] jms, what video card, what machine? youve not really told us anything we can possibly use to help you [03:02] Nope, nothing [03:02] templaedhel: Sounds like you need to repartition. [03:02] shoterboyx: what kind of sound problem? [03:02] koshari, I know, I plan to format to ext3, but I want to be able to restore the drive to its original state should I need to do so, hence the partition backup and the need to make a 1TB fat32 partition [03:02] i have no sound [03:02] nothing at all [03:02] shoterboyx: pls paste the output of lspci [03:02] what that? [03:03] shoterboyx: prints out your hardware connected to pci [03:03] linkmaster03: "pg up" [03:03] from where?

[03:43] rbil: it should [03:43] I'll try it === root is now known as Guest42453 [03:43] kitche: you sure there isn't a space between 1 and 0 at the end of that commandline? [03:45] does anyone know of a way on UBUNTU SERVER (NO Window Manager) to Mount a DVD and RUN a SCRIPT (DVD Backup) [03:45] kitche: E: Version '2.0.0.6,2nobinonly-0ubuntu10' for 'firefox' was not found [03:45] rbil: if ther was a space in the output you go t then there is one [03:46] kitche: neither one works [03:46] to clarify i'd like the server to automatically recognize a DVD was inserted and run a bash script [03:46] is there any reason why i wouldent want to run a KDE app while i use gnome? [03:47] rbil: you can do it though Synaptic as well if you select the firefox package then under the package menu in the menu bar select force version and chose the version you want [03:47] I have trouble installing the development packages for xserver under 8.10: http://paste.ubuntu.com/119927/ please help [03:48] gandalfcome: use aptitude to check for broken packages [03:48] kitche: only version 2 offered is the one that just upgraded === Guest42453 is now known as novaq [03:49] kdub: I used synaptic to fix broken packages. but it didnt do anything [03:50] TruthTac1: nope. works good k3b amorak etc [03:50] thanks [03:50] Anyone have any luck getting an SB Augidy 4 to play .midi files? [03:50] I'm not having any. [03:50] rbil: then your stuck at that version since it was a security update but you can probably find a package on many of the third party repos [03:50] use aptitude to do that. i dont know how good synaptic is [03:50] kitche: any chance u can give me a url? [03:50] does anyone know of a tool like netselect-apt, but for Ubuntu 8.10 Server? (must be command-line) [03:51] kdub: synaptic uses apt. apt and aptitude are just as good.. === bonhoffer is now known as booher_away === Skiessi is now known as Guest424255 [03:51] !info netselect-apt | eigma [03:51] Package netselect-apt does not exist in intrepid [03:52] Ooooh they musta removed it [03:52] Scunizi: for detecting broken packages though? [03:52] eigma: what does netselect-apt do ? [03:52] kdub: yes [03:52] Scunizi: It gets entire mirror list then figures which one is best [03:52] * kdub yields to Scunizi's greater apt-knowledge [03:52] Scunizi: it fetches a list of Debian mirrors, measures latency to each of them, then give you the best mirror [03:52] rbil: I do not have an url to a package [03:53] Scunizi: some argue that latency is not a good predictor of throughput, but it's a good start [03:53] genii: eigma "it"?? you mean aptitude? synaptic will examine the repos for the best as well. [03:53] Scunizi: I was answering your question. "it" refers to "netselect-apt" [03:53] how do i show the number of current apache connections? [03:53] hi all [03:56] kitche: this appears to be working ... sudo apt-get install firefox=2.0.0.6,2nobinonly-0ubuntu1 [03:56] should i get a dell ubuntu box or build one myself? [03:57] kitche: launched, i'll see if it seg faults like the update did. thanks muchly [03:57] xxcue: either way works [03:58] i would build one but all the listings of hardware is dated [03:59] rbil: ok my shell got disconnected so I had to reconnect [04:00] Whats the package that makes command-line programs that generate sound play through ALSA? [04:01] eigma: ah.. sorry .. I was in one of those proverbial apt vs. aptitude threads..:).. [04:02] eigma: it's an interesting question..synaptic has an option that will examine the repos and pic the fastest.. not sure what backend process it's useing though..I've got a gui so I'll look and see if I can locate anything. [04:02] Scunizi: thanks [04:03] hi i was just wondering how to get frostwire to work on ubuntu 8.04 [04:03] Need support on getting ubuntu box to network with a vista and xp machine on simple home network...Cannot get any shard folder to appear on any machine..I am brand new to Linux and loving it thus far..can anyone help with this issue [04:03] i got it downloaded but when i click on the icon nothing works [04:03] RockmanFL, your html is not very effective in IRC [04:03] LOL [04:04] RockmanFL, are you trying to make linux shared folders or windows shared folders? [04:04] both [04:04] RockmanFL, did you already make a windows home or small business network? [04:04] yes [04:05] RockmanFL, can ubuntu find the windows network? [04:05] hi, what's wrong with my dhcpd.conf? :S -> http://paste-it.net/public/q3d9625/ [04:05] the connection settings say it is connected to the network and all machines will ping each other [04:06] The windows network folder in ubuntu is blank and the root/home that is shared with samba does not show on either windows machine [04:06] eigma: sorry I didn't find anything of note.. if you apt-cache search apt you'll see the same list of packages I did.. If you aptitude.. you can search graphically from terminal. [04:06] hey cansome help me i have a samba dc setup but im having issues adding workstations to the domain [04:07] RockmanFL, im assuming you know how to make folders shared, correct?

[04:10] RockmanFL, then it is yes, you do know how to do networking ;-) [04:10] satan is the true light [04:10] !sound [04:10] 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 [04:10] Is there a way to tell grub to boot a different kernel on the next reboot _only_, and (regardless of whether it succeeds or fails to boot) go back to the way it was on the next reboot? I want to test a new kernel on a remote system and I have no out-of-band management, so if it can't at least start up sshd, I'm pretty hosed.

[04:18] i know everything thats new takes time to learn. i have a big problem learning all the commands, and i am so used to going onto my cd driver programs etc so in ubuntu i get confused [04:18] i still use windows for gaming it is [04:18] im trying to change one to open pidgin... [04:18] total ubuntu newbie here [04:18] hlm: are you asking what a software RAID is ? [04:18] hlm: no problem, I will let you know the solution when I find it..take care [04:18] RockmanFL, yes, okay best of luck to you! [04:19] Sw3RvE: did you install the plugins? [04:19] donavan, I know what a raid is, but when used with software I get totally lost :-\ [04:19] plugins? [04:19] and whoever invented compiz should be awarded some kind of an award [04:19] what plugins [04:19] hi [04:19] slimer, do you have a question? [04:19] ninom: in a way he has.. most distros now use compiz and follow the updates. [04:19] xxcue: welcome [04:20] did you do it the hard way or via hardware manager? [04:20] compiz is amazing [04:20] especially for me cuz i work on a lot of windows [04:20] Imunalia, from ati's site [04:20] does anyone know why some items on my pannel cannot be moved? [04:20] hlm: ahh got you ... apparently you can use a program called mdadm with linux ... (windows has its own) I have a raid 5 setup with 4 disks but I am following direction on a web site and one of the commands is screaming that I dont have permissions to edit a file using the sudo command [04:20] yes, I am having no end of frustration tonight [04:21] ninom: you'll discover more power and flexibility here than with windows.

[04:22] hi [04:22] Imunalia, should be easy, you have to have build-essential package installed, headers for your kernel, you have to blacklist ubuntu's proprietary modules. also you have to run the installer from text mode [04:22] and you guys on this chat are my gurus. i am going back to watch lakers and golden state i appreciate everyones help and have a great night.

[04:23] where are the plugins? [04:24] Imunalia, sure just prepend your sentences with my name so its easier to read [04:24] am i on step 1 ? [04:24] Hi there. Does enyone here know how to set up permissions for ntfs files (i.e. add permissions to others)? [04:25] somebody should save all the chat in this room and write an ubuntu book....make millions [04:25] Imunalia, i take it you found this guide alread https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI somewhere in the middle there's manual install walktrough [04:25] @contantine: it would so quickly be out of date it wouldnt be worth it [04:25] constantine_, no one would read it .... [04:26] mattofak: I was thinking of buying the pocket guide for ubuntu - not worth it? [04:26] constantine_: stay here for few months and you'd know it by heart :-) [04:26] constantine: dont know, i've never picked it up [04:26] usser: yes I found it, got half way then got stonewalled by permissions [04:26] Imunalia, what command failed with what error? [04:27] Myrtti i already have the dock installed... [04:27] constantine_: here it is. just print: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2009/02/19/%23ubuntu.html [04:27] im trying to put pidgin on it [04:27] usser ./ati-driver-installer-8.443.1-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/ [04:28] question to all: I've a fresh install of x64 server (8.10) fully patched, and attempting to transfer some files to it via WinSCP, it always fails on files bigger than 14kb; yet if i transfer the same files to a different server (an 8.04 install) it works just fine; any ideas? [04:28] Imunalia: did you try to chmod them? [04:28] Imunalia, thats the exact command latest driver is 9.1 or something so the command is different [04:28] Imunalia, try it with sh ./ati-driver-installer-.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/hardy [04:29] Windows better.... [04:29] usser have the right driver number, just copied the line from the FAQ [04:30] graah, my brain goes to sleep, Sw3RvE... best of luck in your attempts to get it work, I need sleep. It's past 0630 already here. [04:30] how can I migrate some files from windows to ubuntu while inside ubuntu? [04:30] Imunalia, and whats exact error? [04:30] alright. goodnight or morning [04:30] constantine_: mount the windows ntfs partition using ntfs-3g [04:30] Imunalia: as a rule of thumb for nvidia you go into synaptic and uninstall / purge all references of nvidia that are installed.. then the downloaded driver needs to be installed from a TTY WITHOUT the gui running.. ATI is probably the same. [04:30] usser bash ati.run permission denied [04:31] Imunalia, try it with sudo [04:31] K [04:31] Imunalia, ie sudo ati.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/hardy [04:31] Imunalia, sudo sh rather [04:31] sudo sh ./ [04:32] Hey everyone! I have WINE installed on my ubuntu desktop Pc, but how do i make it emulate Vista?

[04:33] oh wait nvm [04:33] there we got [04:33] Who owns the files Imunalia? [04:33] THANKS [04:33] Imunalia: sudo chmod +x [04:34] Imunalia, well thats weird, where you running it from? your home directory? [04:34] I do [04:34] LOL, joking [04:34] the current user does [04:34] maybe try a recursive chown and/or chmod on the file? [04:35] machine do I want the current user to own it, or do I make root own it [04:36] Imunalia: sudo chown : [04:37] well with my experiences the current user can use it, just make sure you use sudo before executing it again. Now since it is a hardware driver, it might require you to run as root using 'su root' etc. [04:38] just make sure you log out of r00t when you are done :D [04:38] Machine: the correct way to run as root is sudo -i [04:38] Machine: ubuntu doesn't use su root.. ubuntu uses sudo === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [04:38] ## Warning: Running a root terminal is not advised ## [04:38] If the driver need to build then you also have to install build-essential [04:38] Hi all, I have noticed something but I am not sure of [04:38] yes, badness happens [04:39] right i understand that, however ... some scripts check for root status before completing the cycle [04:39] and even ubuntu can su root....

How do i launch a CD using WINE?

[04:42] Thanks all [04:42] tuxedocurly, you can't install XP with wine [04:42] yes :) [04:42] tuxedocurly: what are you trying to install? [04:42] Daft_Punk: im not trying to install XP mate, im trying to run a CD that only installs on the XP OS, so is there any way to LAUNCH the CD so that the CD will see the system as being XP, not ubuntu? [04:42] tuxedocurly, sorry i think i misunderstood, you can open the CD to reveal data and make sure the setup.exe or the launching .exe file is set to open with WINE by default and try running the .exe file [04:43] Scunizi: a game [04:43] tuxedocurly: What game? [04:43] Daft_Punk: alright ill try that mate thanks! [04:43] Scunizi: Halo 2 mate [04:43] tuxedocurly, then with wine settings make sure it is set to emulate XP, if it still doesnt work, check the wine HQ to see if that program/game is compatible with wine [04:43] * Imunalia dances [04:43] I just wanted to stick with LTS but the system seemed to like normal release [04:43] Scunizi: i hear it doesnt work worth crap, but i must try [04:43] VieQ, just thought I'd make sure, i'm guessing canonical added another couple repo's to the apt config; or you were attempting to update packages that the core system needed [04:44] what exactly were you attempting to install [04:44] tuxedocurly: then you're in for an adventure.. :) good luck [04:44] You have gotta rephrase that sentence so I make sure I fully understood it [04:44] QQ: phpmyadmin is accessed as localhost/phpmyadmin, right? [04:45] i need some help here, im having some mouse problems with ubuntu [04:45] tuxedocurly: doesn't work isn't the half of it.. google " [04:46] vieq: sorry; two possibilities in my mind: a) with the update to 8.10, some more repositories were added to the apt configuration, or b) the packages you were attempting to update are system packages (though thats unlikely since an explicit install should tell apt to piss off) [04:46] tuxedocurly: google " halo2 wine ubuntu" and you'll see all kinds of threads about it.

[04:56] fr500, a tray program... a program to RUN the tray, like trayer, but not trayer [04:56] racecar-56: well in normal ubuntu to change the password you can: sudo passwd username [04:56] vieq: its something ive not experianced, nor know how to diagnose; it almost sounds like theres something in your additional repos that's conflicting; have you tried installing it without those repos enabled? [04:56] Nobe [04:57] Daft_Punk: sorry man I don't understand, gnome has a tray icon are already [04:57] racecar-56: to change the password [04:57] night-wm: can you see what's in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf?

Help please...!! [04:57] fr500, well i do not know how to explain it better sorry, its a tray program, do you know what trayer is? i want a program like trayer but up-to-date and not obsolete [04:57] night-wm: anything about mouse? [04:58] interesting problem, whenever I log on, it usually takes about 3 tries before I actually get gnome to start appearing. I usually have to go to a different terminal and reboot the system until I can log on properly. Have any ideas as to what the cause is? [04:58] nanotube: yeah i actually made some changes to it after searching through some forums [04:58] Daft_Punk: let me google it [04:58] nanotube: let me bring it up [04:58] mattofak, I know this would not be the appropriate channel to say this [04:58] But is n't ubuntu repo's compatible with Debian? [04:59] fr500, http://celettu.wordpress.com/2008/09/09/tint2-trayer/ [04:59] Hey, sorry for being on the wrong channel. but i am really looking for an irc channel where i can get books. anybody know? Thank you. [04:59] VieQ: not completely [04:59] adrock: google [04:59] adrock: : undernet [04:59] hmm, Compared to debian which is most up2date [04:59] vieq; in general principle yes; obviously ubuntu is a derivitave of, but ubuntu doesnt support all of debian, and has also updated a lot of debians packages [04:59] adrock: what kind of books? [04:59] VieQ: sort of.,. you shouldn't use debian repos mainly because a lot of the packages are changed slightly.. install locations and other things dealing with different security implimentations etc.. [05:00] Daft_Punk: so you want a tray area without the default gnome panels ? [05:00] shameless; google? you can get e-books? [05:00] any help with this problem.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/119951/ [05:00] fr500, i dont use gnome panels, i am using trayer right now but the icon backgrounds aren't transparent like they should be, since the intrepid update, and someone told me trayer is no longer being updated and its obsolete [05:00] adrock: if you know where to look, yes. try demonoid [05:01] maxime; Yes! that's the one I was at a long time ago. Thank you so much! [05:01] fr500, so basically i want a program like trayer that is current and being updated in the near future and has support [05:01] nanotube: alright i have my xorg.conf up [05:01] I have no problems with doing updates every night if I had to, but this is kinda the system is leading me not I am leading the system [05:01] shameless: Thank you, man.

Is it that those repository are to old ?? [05:02] What is a good tray program for linux besides trayer? I heard trayer was obsolete and not being updated anymore. [05:02] i think what you're seeing actually is the ubuntu repo fighting with the upstream debian ones, theres probably some odd dependency that canonical took out [05:03] no no, I do not have any debian repo's [05:03] s2disk: Could not stat the resume device file. Reason: No such file or directory [05:03] I can't get konversation to use system bell as a notificaton in 4.2 on Intrepe [05:03] I was just "if it's recommended" gonna make a switch [05:03] dang when i add a user called temp it dosent let me log into it [05:03] Bsims: wrong channel try #kubuntu [05:04] nvm im going to #ubuntu-server [05:04] mattofak: woho we re you adressing to?

[05:05] VieQ: if you want Debian get real Debian or something such as Sidux [05:05] anyone here use zinc yahoo client??? [05:05] nanotube: right now the driver is mouse [05:05] sebsebseb, that's what I ment [05:05] nanotube: originally it was evdev [05:05] Running ubuntu installation file on win makes a dual boot when the system restarts. Hoy can I get rid of this dual boot screen? [05:06] night-wm: tell me what version of ubuntu?

[05:11] VieQ: so, what is it? i'm dying of suspense here :) [05:11] VieQ: well I guess you could try, but something odd would happen I expect, if you added proper Debian repos [05:11] Hi, i have 2 game setup iso files....I mounted disk 1 onto /media/cdrom...installed a part of the game....now its asking for disk 2...i unmounted disk1 and mounted disk 2 onto the same /media/cdrom but it doesn't seem to recognize it [05:11] so i put cd?

[05:13] sebsebseb, yup, latest adobe flash in repo [05:13] vish: just blacklist the module that's what I usually do [05:13] Sw3RvE, 'cd' is the command you can type from a terminal to go to your home folder [05:13] Ryan_Chau: hardwired or wireless? [05:13] kitche how do i do that? [05:13] VieQ: i scrolled... but i gave up trying to find it. :) [05:13] i need "the command to launch on click" for Cairo-Dock. [05:13] hardwired [05:13] its a specific question... [05:13] Ryan_Chau: that's odd should just work then [05:13] !ethernet [05:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about ethernet [05:13] fr500: I was using windows media player and it was dvd quality, now in totem it looks VERY pixelated [05:14] is there any commands i should type? [05:14] vish: are you talking about an actual speaker, or just system beep? [05:14] i got the wireless working fine on my laptop [05:14] I mean that I'm trying to put media onto my computer from my phone [05:14] Sw3RvE, I just started reading the thread so I am not sure what you are trying to do [05:14] constantine_: totem can be strange.. try mplayer or vlc [05:14] but on the pc i can' get the wire to work [05:14] constantine_: same video file for real?

[05:15] oh oops [05:15] on the top i says manually config [05:15] thanks [05:15] but that's about it [05:15] it won't let me see [05:15] network information [05:15] Scunizi, lolz its just a nice universal framework [05:15] Ryan_Chau: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:17] Dracie: when I use totem the movie's are always colored strangely.. mplayer renders correctly and so does vlc [05:17] VLC is awesome [05:17] for photo and picture [05:17] VLC LOL [05:17] hmm I haven't noticed an issue [05:17] Banshee Intrepid Ibex version :D [05:17] Sw3RvE, the Dock you refer about is an application, right? [05:17] VLC is good though to [05:17] yes [05:18] its called Cario-Dock [05:18] twain: do you just want a gnome theme that looks likes pclinuxos? [05:18] yes === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [05:18] is that gnome? not KDE?

[05:19] btw im using Xubuntu [05:19] Sw3RvE, yes. that's what you want, right? [05:19] yes [05:19] but [05:19] Sw3RvE: Cario dock is meant to be good. Xubuntu is a little odd in some ways unlike Ubuntu [05:19] chaines... there isn't a thing to download for ubuntu [05:19] twain: Sorry, you're right pclinuxos uses kde :) [05:20] yea i know but i like xubuntu better [05:20] KDE4000 :) [05:20] Sw3RvE, then check to select the launch button as 'run from terminal' in the type combo box [05:20] lol [05:20] i still need to know the command to open the program either way to make a new icon on the desktop. [05:20] :p [05:20] smurfie: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bitpim/bitpim_1.0.6_i386.deb?download [05:20] ok chaines so do you think pclinusox is better? [05:20] PCLinuxOS is a noobs distro as well :D [05:20] Sw3RvE, I see [05:20] twain: it's all about what you're looking for. [05:21] if i knew how to get programs on my desktop all i would have to do is right click and go to properties and id have what i need. [05:21] GOS or something now that looks nice, but can make Ubuntu look like that anyway [05:21] Sw3RvE, go to a terminal window [05:21] What's the correct way to use display:0 ? [05:21] Sw3RvE, and run: apropos dock [05:21] smurfie: DEB files are for all debian based distro's, of which Ubuntu is one :) [05:21] ok but i cant install pclinisox it not work install i dont know why. so i instll ubuntu it work.

[05:23] does anyone know how solve with pclinuxos for install? from cd? [05:23] twain: So, what makes you want to use PCLinuxOS, instead of Ubuntu? [05:23] Sw3RvE, then from your paste bin you should run command: cairo-dock [05:23] it gives me a security error [05:23] anyone know what channel i'd go to for network/router info [05:24] beacuse pclinuxos has everything on program ready.. ubuntu dont. [05:24] Well... now that I downloaded that thing.... where would it be? I have no idea... [05:24] ooooh VLC is much better [05:24] why? [05:24] thanks [05:24] i know how to run the dock [05:24] twain: weell then run pclinuxos? [05:24] i need commands for programs to use them on the dock [05:24] Sw3RvE, on the launch button just add that command (no need to ask to be run from terminal) [05:24] how do I stock* my alias permanently into the bash profile ? [05:24] Does anyone know how to split a pipe, so input goes to two programs? [05:24] sebsebseb: he's having install trouble :) [05:24] twain: so, what's the problem that you're coming across during install? [05:24] Sw3RvE, mmm. Did you try: man cairo-dock already? [05:25] what are you talking about... [05:25] lol [05:25] Sw3RvE, run on terminal: man cairo-dock [05:25] Sw3RvE, manual pages for the program [05:25] anyone know what channel i'd go to for network/router info [05:25] i can use the dock. i need launch commands for applications. [05:25] Question about backup over network: What's the best way to back up a specific directory (large number of files, 200GB worth) over a network? What program and what protocol? I'd assume FTP. [05:25] michael_: you could ask here. or in ##linux [05:25] yes.. but i have problem to run livecd before install to harddrive. on pclinusos [05:25] if anyone wants to help join #ubuntu-server [05:25] the dock is NOT the problem. [05:25] Sw3RvE, what do you want to run from the dock? [05:25] michael ##networking maybe [05:25] Home [05:26] I have a kernel compilation question: I'm running Intrepid Ibex and have updated to the most recent kernel. Dmesg says it's Linux version 2.6.27-9.19-generic. What syntax do I use to patch my kernel source (2.6.27.9) to be identical to the version used to compile the stock kernel? [05:26] scunizi, thanks [05:26] the folder Home in Xubuntu [05:26] How by the Kindly Ones can I get a plain system bell to work as a notification on KDE 4.2 on intrepid, surely this isn't an amazingly difficult thing to attempt [05:26] Sw3RvE, then I think I can't help you as I have never used that application. Try to find out from the manual pages [05:26] Huufarted, ftp, samba, nfs, ssh, i'd say samba is the simplest one if you have windows machine that you save your stuff to [05:26] twain: but what problem? What happens when you try? [05:26] bye! [05:26] it's kinda hard to help with no details :) [05:27] And by patch, I mean by using "ketchup" to automagically do all the patching [05:27] mustard's better [05:27] atom^x would you happen to know the RUN command to launch the Home folder? [05:27] usser, it will be from a windows machine, but File and Print sharing have HORRID overhead and are 50% the speed of FTP. I guess I'm looking more for a specific backup program that can do this [05:27] Sw3RvE, well Thunar is the file manager for xubuntu [05:27] how do you get firefox to run java? [05:28] Uhh... I have another question... [05:28] can i change in my repository "feisty to hardy" just erase feisty, and put hardy ? [05:28] my internet seems terrible slow...i think one of the users on the network is hogging the bandwidth...is there any way to check? [05:28] ok i put cd in then boot and click "run livecd" and say cant boot i think need dieable on BIOS for ACDI something? [05:28] smurfie: what's up?

[05:29] Huufarted, yea samba is slow. but its easy to use, you can mount the share as local filesystem and just copy files over as if they were on the local computer, im not sure if ubuntu can mount ftp shares [05:29] seb*3: will check it out. TIA :) [05:29] Sw3RvE, that is the command you need for the dock [05:29] usser, do you know of any applications that can handle incremental backups/ [05:29] Dang it... [05:30] alguien habla español?

Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es.

I expected better [05:32] That shouldn't make a difference, should it? [05:32] seb: But am still happy with 04 [05:32] Smurfie: but, here's the way to do this: open terminal and type wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bitpim/bitpim_1.0.6_i386.deb [05:32] since upgrading to intrepid, certain icons in my systray such as xchat and wireless icons are no longer having transparent backgrounds, they appear white and clash with my background color, how can i fix this? i use trayer and have tried using stalonetray and neither fix the issue [05:32] Huufarted, hm... there's a lot of backup programs, but frankly i never used any, most i need is nfs or samba share. mount it and then copy the files that are less than 2 days old with find [05:32] innnit: if you want more cutting edge well other distros [05:33] I've already downloaded the bitpim... within the Applications.. I don't know where to find it [05:33] jose: que pasa?

[05:33] iNiku: have you got Ubuntu Studio? [05:34] innnit: have you got Ubuntu Studio? [05:34] now, the question arises as to whether or not it will work with your phone. [05:34] Yea really.. [05:34] if it doesn't then you're kinda screwed, as the odds of anything else doing so are very small, AFAIK. [05:34] Haha [05:34] Sw3RvE, did that work for you? [05:34] seb: no [05:35] seb: I thought about it [05:35] Uhmm... where's the terminal? lol [05:35] innnit: well can get it's apps in standard Ubuntu anyway [05:35] seb: exactly [05:35] seb: d/ling java runtime [05:35] :D [05:36] lol, applications menu -> Accessories -> Terminal [05:36] if I remember correctly. Don't use gnome :) [05:36] Ahh ok.. can't help some of the blondeness here lol [05:36] let me try putting thunar as the command [05:37] :O Yay! [05:37] what type of phone do you use anyway?

[05:38] i have 5 icons working now :) [05:39] anyone know where i can find out more about the flood bots? [05:39] !bots [05:39] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [05:39] Apparently this program is lovin on LG [05:39] atom^x would you happen to know how i could remove a folder or tab from the applications menu on xubuntu [05:39] !hello [05:39] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [05:39] Wicked: did you catch that? :) ^--^ [05:39] Scunizi, do either one of these have a GUI? [05:39] Wickid: It's a bot. that stops. floods. Like, noah style and stuff. [05:40] Sw3: can you right-click the app menu like you can in ubuntu? [05:40] Scunizi, yea. but i dont think those bots are the same. [05:40] i wish i could right click and delete it that would make it so much easier [05:40] Scunizi, but thanks [05:40] Scunizi, I looked at both of them and neither says anything about a GUI [05:40] hlm: ftp servers don't have gui's... clients do.. if you're trying to connect to a ftp server then gftp is what you want [05:40] no i cant right click it... i wouldnt have to ask if it was that easy :( [05:40] Maybe I need to update my alsa stuff?

[05:41] like, what's the name of the PHONe.

It will be related to the .desktop files [05:42] i tried reinstalling greeter, gdm, even ubuntu-desktop and still a broken greeter :/ [05:42] so i need some help w/ ubuntu [05:42] Other than it being Nokia... I have no idea lol [05:43] lostinlinux: help with what/ [05:43] ? [05:43] im i missing another package that needs reinstalling? [05:43] i;m trying to install ubuntu over ubuntu. do i just put in the cd again? [05:43] lostinlinux: yep [05:43] ok good [05:43] I just installed an internal hard drive to hold my media on. I was thinking about formating it with ext4. Does anyone know if this will work ok with ubuntu 8.10? [05:43] Haha... Shortbus.... [05:43] lostinlinux: but why are you doing that? [05:44] anyone know what channel i'd go to for network/router info [05:44] my close, minimize and maximize buttons are on the left of my title bar... how can i move them to the right? [05:44] my friend put a password on our house computer and moved so now i cant access it. [05:44] or a way to check which IP from a router is using the most bandwidth? [05:44] Aleran: ext4 if i read right should be shipped with the next build but atm ext4 is still in development [05:44] lostinlinux: Would you rather just blow away the root password? [05:44] Smurfie: Alright, I've got to go, and, I've never been the biggest phone person anyway, so I suggest going here: howardforums.com and posting your question in the correct forum. Make sure to mention your phone type, nokia 6086. [05:44] lostinlinux: ah.. ok.. do you know if you have a separate /home partition? [05:44] Sorry I couldn't be more help :( [05:44] Ok. Thank you =) [05:44] no [05:44] It's ok [05:44] Hi. I'm trying to extract from an archive, and I get the following error box. "An error occured while trying to extract the archive. (null)" What does this (null) bit mean, and how do I fix it? [05:45] i dont know a whole lot about this stuff [05:45] Lounge, but if they've already marked it for the next build then its gotta be stable right? [05:45] Sw3RvE, http://wiki.xfce.org/tips about halfway down the page [05:45] lostinlinux: put a Linux Live CD in and get round his password, assuming he didn't use encryption [05:45] *whistles* [05:45] lostinlinux: and if he did that, he isn't really your friend [05:45] hah [05:45] lostinlinux: you could also boot into the "rescue" portion of the menu on boot. that puts you at root and you can add a user and password.. then log in as that user and delete the other one. [05:45] he prob did too [05:45] ty [05:45] lostinlinux: the family computer is which OS? [05:45] lostinlinux: http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub might help [05:46] Aleran: not untill ext4 is officially decleared stable then it'll would be distribution worthy, i think [05:46] lostinlinux: probably not [05:46] i dont know, i just know he was using linux on the computer.. we were using it as a house server for music and video to share w/ eachother [05:46] now i just want to get access to it but using ubuntu [05:46] TiZ: one more piece of advice before I kick it: Try using another archive manager than the default one. It seems to be... problematic. PeaZip has been recommended. Google it :) [05:46] hello all. i just installed 8.1 [05:47] so far in jaunty, i don't see a mkfs.ext4 anywhere [05:47] peace out all.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:47] how can i adjust my screen resolution to something besides 640 x whatever [05:47] lostinlinux: probalby no encryption unless the computer is 64bit and was clever enough to use the alternate CD and then encrypt the hard disk [05:47] but anyhoo i need ssome input on how to mend a broken gdm/greeter crash [05:48] !resolution | Jerusalem420 [05:48] Jerusalem420: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[05:48] he was a pretty slick guy who would pull that kind of crap on me [05:48] if you don't get an answer now, try in a few hours [05:48] hi all, I'm a bit disappointed today, I installed ubuntu on my parents older machine (1.6ghz P4 with 512mb Ram) expecting it to run faster than xp... but alas it does not, it's quite slow to respond, and start/use of applications... [05:49] lostinlinux: well try the live cd. and recovery mode as that other guy said [05:49] but you said i can still just put in the installation cd and it will do it??? easier? [05:49] ok [05:49] hello god morning [05:49] Really? I've never found it useful. I either get ignored or chewed upon for saying something that isnt 100% on topic, even though its better than being ignored. Here, watch me get chewed out now. [05:49] joshjtl: ok well it should run alright on that [05:49] joshjtl: Xubuntu is more light waight, and there are other distros that run better on older hardware [05:50] joshjtl: you can go into system --> administration --> services and shutdown some stuff you don't need [05:50] do you need bluetooth? [05:50] !ot | Mac181 just couldn't resist since you asked for it [05:50] Mac181 just couldn't resist since you asked for it: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [05:50] grrr i cant find it [05:50] how to run phpmyadmin on ubuntu [05:50] sebsebseb: it runs, but not faster than xp, I know xubuntu is lighter, but gnome should be lighter/faster than xp [05:50] please help me any body [05:50] Scun: LOL, much obliged. :) [05:50] joshjtl: sure, unless the RAM is failing I guess [05:50] is it possible that the ctr that i'm using only has 640*480 600*800? [05:50] Lounge: I have [05:51] lokendra: with what? [05:51] also in system --> preferences --> sessions , you can disable things there too [05:51] sebsebseb maybe try an older version of ubuntu? [05:51] sebsebseb: couldn't be, xp was fine just an hour ago [05:51] lokendra: http://localhost/phpmyadmin [05:51] Jerusalem420: not the best idea, since suppourt won't be for much longer unless it's hardy heron [05:51] I should totally capitalize on the moment of someone paying attention to me. Do you know what's up with this whole "Speakers dont turn off when headphones are plugged in" thing? I've seen a few fixes online, but none actually work. [05:51] thanks for the help...greatly apreciated [05:51] i know that [05:52] but it is shoe [05:52] using hardy over intrepid wouldn't help in this case would it? [05:52] this error [05:52] Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.5 with Suhosin-Patch Server at localhost Port 80 [05:52] joshjtl: it might [05:52] it would mean a less patched version of the kernel etc etc [05:52] joshjtl: not that much difference between hardy and intrepid anyway [05:52] Mac181: sorry I avoid all that with a physical switch to move between the two.. [05:52] do some people still get a crackly audio output out of one speaker/headphone? [05:52] joshjtl: no the kernel gets updated in hardy as well [05:52] Lounge: yeah, on high volume [05:52] Scunizi, I get the following error when trying to start vsftpd (as root) 500 OOPS: could not bind listening IPv4 socket [05:53] sebsebseb: in that case the only real difference would be an older gnome right? [05:53] Scunizi: I have not a physical switch. :( [05:53] if that happens type sudo alsa force-relaod [05:53] Sw3RvE, either delete the .desktop file or add this line to it ->NoDisplay=true [05:53] fixes it [05:53] does for me [05:53] joshjtl: older gnome? well I don't really notice a difference between the version in intrepid and the version in hardy [05:53] I am trying to get stepmania to work with a dance pad through a USB driver. Ubuntu supposedly has a working driver (xpad) and says that it has detected the dancepad. However, stepmania still fails to see it.

[05:54] joshjtl: hardy is still good, and suppourt longer than Ibex [05:54] joshjtl: yes it's worth a shot [05:54] i know that [05:54] seb: Done! Java works [05:54] hlm: I think the default user is ftp with a password of ftp.. you'll find the ftp /home on your machine now [05:54] but it is shoe [05:54] okay I'll try it thanks sebsebseb Jerusalem420 [05:54] this error [05:54] Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.5 with Suhosin-Patch Server at localhost Port 80 [05:54] innnit: yep easy command?

Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [07:12] yeah [07:12] read that [07:12] i cant run ubuntu cuz im on a lappy it cant handle it [07:12] rabidweezle: install smb share the folder on windows [07:12] I got it on the right workgroup now [07:12] so i need xubuntu [07:13] other way around, I'm sharing to a windows xp, not from [07:13] tim__: #xubuntu [07:13] tim__: how much RAM? [07:13] I can get the windows share easy [07:13] if Xubuntu could use the Vram swap that yellowdog 6.1 has i would put xubuntu on my ps3 [07:13] i wanna say like 200 something its really bad [07:13] I can see the share on the network under network neighborhood, but it tells me something about permissions [07:13] i cant remember [07:14] network places rather [07:14] tim__: Ubuntu can run with 256MB RAM. 128MB and you got to put a swap partition on the hard disk, before the later Ubuntu Live CD's will even load up properly [07:14] rabidweezle: yeah, check those URLs that ubottu just pointed out, lots of good reading there and it can help you - #samba too [07:14] id use Xubuntu. it operates much better than ubuntu [07:14] tim__: you might want to try stuff such as Puppy Linux :) and maybe Damn Small Linux even [07:15] i tried dsl but i couldn't find a live cd [07:15] Sw3RvE: Xubuntu is alright, but Gnome :) [07:15] i have DSL but i cant get the internet to work on it for anything! [07:15] my xubuntu works great i just cant really play games [07:15] i have dsl burned on a mini cd [07:15] help! when trying to upgrade from hardy 32 bit to ibex 32 bit... i see; Not all updates can be installed, run a partial upgrade to install as many updates as possible.... what should i do now? if i try to proceed; i get this error: http://pastie.org/393759 [07:16] does anyone know why the game starcraft is running really slow on linux but worked fine on xp with the same computer [07:16] tim__: sorry to hear that, but #xubuntu is really the place to talk about it [07:17] i could not fing it [07:17] find* [07:17] tim__, you can run starcraft on linux [07:17] wowzres [07:17] tim__: type this in irc: /join #xubuntu [07:17] yes i run it through wine but it is really slow [07:17] irc: /join #xubuntu [07:17] gtg [07:18] tim__: no no, the / is a command, don't type anything before the / [07:18] arooni_____: ok that is a weird error [07:18] since upgrading to intrepid, certain icons in my systray such as xchat and wireless icons are no longer having transparent backgrounds, they appear white and clash with my background color, how can i fix this? i use trayer and have tried using stalonetray and neither fix the issue. icons such as amsn and amarok have transparent backgrounds. [07:18] arooni_____: never seen that before [07:18] meet my at #ubuntu-server [07:18] *me [07:18] how do i add a channel to the Xchat serverlist [07:18] sebsebseb, oh noes; looks like i'm hosed [07:18] or make it open automatically when i join #ubuntu [07:19] Sw3RvE, a channel on autojoin? [07:19] arooni_____: probably easier now, and better, to just backup your data and do a clean install of Ibex? [07:19] sebastien, oh noes; i was hoping not to have to do that [07:19] like when i click Xchat to run the program i then choose a server... [07:19] arooni_____: ok [07:19] sebsebseb, anyway to salvage what i haev? [07:20] Sw3RvE, ok listen me, in your dialog of ubuntu server you see #ubuntu in "on join channel" ? [07:20] i want it to be on that list [07:20] arooni_____: edit sources list make sure it's all ibex, run upgrade, and things should be o [07:20] Sw3RvE, dialog of ubuntu server chat list on xchat [07:20] well i cant see it right now bc im on it [07:20] ok try :) [07:20] arooni_____: good idea to make a seperate home partition when you re install, also good idea to MD5checksum the Ibex ISO [07:20] !md5sum [07:20] To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [07:21] What is the best way to remove all flash plugins? [07:21] well when i open it what do i do to add a new one to that original list of servers [07:21] !sources [07:21] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories === ace2001ac111 is now known as ace2001ac [07:21] Sw3RvE, you mean the popup windows that appear on connect [07:22] yes [07:22] well no [07:22] if you press ctrl + s you see server list [07:22] before i connect [07:22] yes on this menu [07:23] on favorite channel if you want to join on connect more than one channe write #channel1,#channel2,#channel3 [07:23] i need the info tho to make it work [07:23] sebastien, i already have a separate /home/ partition [07:23] arooni_____: that's fine then [07:23] arooni_____: have your data in that [07:23] arooni_____: install ibex, but keep your home partition [07:23] sebastien, so what do i do? wipe othre partitoins? [07:23] and blow up existing /etc/ on e? [07:24] arooni_____: yes get rid of everything, but home [07:24] mkay [07:24] arooni_____: oh and you could keep swap. how big is your swap if you got one? [07:24] yes i have swap [07:24] its 4G i think [07:24] i have 3G of ram [07:24] arooni_____: that's to big [07:24] arooni_____: that's bigger than it should be [07:24] i added Xubuntu in the networks spot. then i have to edit it to put info in... what do i replace this (newserver/6667) with? [07:24] how big should it be? [07:24] arooni_____: 1GB is good so 1024MB [07:25] sebsebseb, really? i thought it was important for swap size = memory size [07:25] arooni_____: sort swap out, keep home [07:25] if there's any samba folks out there, send me a pm [07:25] sebsebseb, also; is there a way of storing what packages i have installed? [07:25] to save off a list [07:25] Sw3RvE, you have to write the irc server address in the form irc.servername.net/6667 [07:25] arooni_____: no if someone has 512MB ram then tehy should double to 1GB. and with 4GB RAM you probably don't really need a SWAP, but have one anyway as 1GB [07:25] !swap [07:25] 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 [07:26] sebastien, i only have 3G of ram [07:26] only , lol :) [07:26] arooni_____: I only have 1GB RAM and I would do 1GB as SWAP [07:26] ;p [07:26] arooni_____: 1GB is a good size for SWAP [07:26] ok how do i keep track of what packages i have installed [07:27] is there any way to determine what kernel you have other than the uname command? [07:27] i dont want to have to manually figure it out [07:27] i have 1.8GB and 705 MB swap [07:27] arooni_____: just install stuff again it's not hard [07:27] i have only used like 2% of swap so far. lol [07:27] arooni_____: and the hidden .folders in home [07:27] arooni_____: will be your user data for your current programs [07:27] dpkg --get-selections > selections.txt save the .txt file to a safe place then once reinstalled dpkg --set-selections < selections.txt followed by dselect update and apt-get dselect-upgrade show give you back your installed packages. [07:28] from goog; seems like it should work [07:28] arooni_____: that seems interesting, whats the link? [07:29] sebsebseb, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/how-to-save-a-list-of-installed-packages-and-install-these-packages-later-393191/ [07:29] arooni_____: ok thanks, I should go bye [07:30] What is, or how can I discover, the "termcap keyboard capability name" for Alt+F1? [07:30] would anyone happen to know the RUN command for Xchat? [07:31] lol nvm it is xchat [07:31] is there a way to hold off usb_disable_devic in booting? [07:32] untill initialization is complete [07:32] i'm developing a window manager; but i don't wnat to constantly restart X. is there a way i can open upp another x session, inside my current X, to test out my window manager? [07:32] what is the difference between ubuntu and fedora [07:33] lowlycoder: might be possible [07:33] cahaya-05 [07:33] however, it's not a good idea [07:33] ariel [07:33] have you considered a script to start and close x? [07:33] that way you only hit a "switch" command? [07:33] kriyas, check this webpage usb_disable_devic [07:33] erm [07:33] why [07:34] kriyas, this one http://polishlinux.org/choose/comparison/ [07:34] hi [07:34] help me please [07:34] what speed should i burn ubuntu to a cdrw? [07:34] arooni____: as fast as you can without it making an error, which is usually maximum speed. [07:34] how to work c programs in ubuntu, what softwares needed [07:34] arooni_____: Whatever speed your burner can safely burn. [07:35] kriyas: build essentials =p [07:35] r3 [07:35] hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii [07:35] kohlrak: what ? === billybigrigger is now known as billybigrigger_\ [07:36] kriyas: that's the package name... then you'll want to type in "man gcc" to figure out how to use it [07:36] Why do left-alt and right-alt go to the same VT on ubuntu? [07:36] HI [07:37] SOMEONE ON [07:37] k [07:37] TML: Virtual terminal? Try alt+f# [07:38] can someone tell me how i can setup a DNS server [07:39] nETspideR: Have you checked synaptic for "DNS Server" yet? [07:39] i use this thred http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=236093 [07:39] kohlrak: LeftAlt+f# takes you to VT 0+# (that is, 1-12). On every distro but Ubuntu, RightAlt+f# takes you VT 12+# (13-24). [07:40] i got it === SkG is now known as [SkG] [07:40] kohlrak: It's incredibly cumbersome to get to VT19 by going to VT1 and then using Alt+LeftArrow to go through 24, 23, 22, 21, and 20 [07:40] when i try to restart sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 restart says is failed [07:40] TML: That's not good [07:40] tryng to login root password and got this [07:41] Permission denied (publickey,password) [07:41] whats that mean? [07:41] publickey? [07:41] Mal3ko: You tried to SSH in, and it told you the allowed authentication mechanisms [07:41] Mal3ko: Probably means bad password, which is really funny since root is a passwordless (and i think nameless) account [07:42] hey guys, can someone tell me what the benefits of using a music player daemon instead of normal music players? [07:42] the root acc has password [07:42] How do i see what things my ubuntu is starting op, when the system is booting?? (need to figure out if snmptrapd is running) [07:42] root is "passwordless"? [07:42] TML: I really don't know what to say though, as i've only ever used UBUNTU. I've also noticed that the highest i've used was the 8th terminal. [07:42] it has password [07:42] TML: should be. [07:42] kohlrak: And some people respond "Oh, use screen instead". Which I'm willing to do, if only I can figure out how to ask screen to map LeftAlt-F1 to "select 1" [07:42] Weeltin: ps -ef | grep snmptrapd [07:43] Weeltin: or edit menu.lst to not have splash screen [07:43] kohlrak: Well, it's "root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash" on all of *my* boxes [07:43] TML: Is there a way to switch screens using type commands in the terminal? [07:44] kohlrak: I'm not sure what you mean by "using type commands" [07:44] since upgrading to intrepid, certain icons in my systray such as xchat and wireless icons are no longer having transparent backgrounds, they appear white and clash with my background color, how can i fix this? i use trayer and have tried using stalonetray and neither fix the issue. icons such as amsn and amarok have transparent backgrounds. [07:45] Hello Aloha Saluton... um... others... [07:45] egc, thanks.. will try that.. btw, running server so i dont have a splash screen [07:45] TML: Not sure if there's a way to type something like "screen -n 1 -vt 5" or something like that [07:46] wrinkliez, what? [07:46] kohlrak: use sudo chvt 1 to change to tty 1 and so on [07:47] good morning [07:47] kohlrak: I wasn't looking for a command to do it, I was looking for a way to fix the keyboard mappings. [07:47] NFischer: well, i've been looking at music players (it seems i am the only one dissatisfied with amarok) and I found frontends for mpd. and i am just curious as why someone would actually use mpd instead of just having a regular audio player [07:47] Daft_Punk, hey ;) [07:47] TML: well, now that we have commands, perhaps there's a place to map them [07:48] kohlrak: Thanks, but if I could figure out how to map Alt-F1 to something, I already knew the commands. :) [07:48] Specifically, map "LeftAlt+F1" to one thing and "RightAlt+F1" to another (different) thing [07:49] wrinkliez, mpd is mostly for server use [07:49] wrinkliez, without x [07:49] TML: Not sure how to do this, but since Ubuntu is also a linux distro, there MUST be a way to do it XD [07:49] Hi all [07:49] wrinkliez, btw, im dissatisfied with anorak as well.. i use Exaile [07:49] NFischer: ah, that makes more sense. [07:49] VLC media player is all one ever needs :) [07:50] kohlrak: True. I'm just trying to figure out what they 'broke'. :) [07:50] Or 'fixed', if you prefer, so I can 'unfix' it. [07:50] NFischer: ive been trying to get a different mp3 player for kde, but if i dont like amarok or juk, apparently im screwed XD [07:50] Favorit: +1 ;-) [07:50] I'm trying to export authentication logs to a syslog-ng server. Using the local syslog conf auth.* @syslo-ng.server.ip doesn't transmit su/sudo/sg,... messages to syslog-ng server. But using logger -p auth.info "glop" works fine. Any idea ? [07:50] NFischer: unless i get a gnome app [07:51] TML: I'll go with "broke" ;) so if you figure it out, let me know because i wouldn't mind figuring out new ways of mapping keys [07:52] hey guys if i run this command. "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda2" would this securly delete that data on that partition???? [07:52] ubuntu did an update (which included some modules for the linux kernel) during boot I was not able to get past the splash screen, so I removed quiet and splash from the menu in grub, by pressing escape and editing the appropriate line, I get the message Driver sr nees updating - please use bus_type methods, then I keep getting messages about rr2310_00 (which is my raid controller) [07:52] is the snmptrapd running when it sais "root 23083 23082 0 08:44 ? 00:00:00 sh -c su root -c ps\ \-ef\ \|\ grep\ snmptrapd 2>&1 ;root 23084 23083 0 08:44 ? 00:00:00 su root -c ps -ef | grep snmptrapd ; root 23085 23084 0 08:44 ? 00:00:00 bash -c ps -ef | grep snmptrapd ; root 23087 23085 0 08:44 ? 00:00:00 grep snmptrapd" after using the command "ps -ef | grep snmptrapd" [07:53] sorry i meanmdd if=/dev/random [07:53] and never complete the boot [07:53] so basicly "dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda2" [07:53] kohlrak: you might want to try actkbd to map keystrokes [07:54] freegoo: Well, it would be better than nothing. [07:54] tml: what would you recomend? [07:54] idefine: hmm, that's strange. do you recall which modules were updated exactly? [07:55] freegoo: A really strong magnet [07:55] mikewu: cool thanks XD [07:55] TML: mikewu got it there [07:55] tml: i could use bootnNuke on the whole disk [07:55] * Favorit blushed after the word "stroke". [07:56] mikewu: 'actkbd'? [07:56] hey - anyone using an asus laptop? [07:56] tml: wouldnt that distroy the disk, i still want to use it [07:56] TML: its a daemon that runs in the background and monitors keyboard events [07:56] chu_: most likely, what's the prob :) [07:56] you can map pretty much anything to anything you want [07:56] Favorit: not sure, I just did the recommended restart. [07:57] idefine: running intrepid? [07:57] Favorit: I am sure that my raid controller's drivers need to be rebuilt [07:57] tml: 35 passess on dev/random should stop standard data recovery programs [07:57] mikewu: apt-cache search actkbd, which actkbd, man -k actkbd - all come up blank [07:57] Favorit: no, 8.04.2 [07:57] freegoo: Perhaps. [07:57] Just a problem with the battery - it's not "detected", it runs on battery but I get no readings from it (I only know it recharges because the recharge light at the front is light up), I've been looking for help for a while, just wondering if the problem was related to asus laptops in general, or my model (asus pro50gl) [07:57] freegoo: It's hard to get much safer than actually re-aligning the platter :) [07:57] Anyone able to help me with a screen resolution problem? Seems every time a game tries to run in full-screen mode it chooses 800x600 which doesn't display correctly; it shows the top 3rd at the bottom, the middle 3rd at the top, and the bottom 3rd is invisible. [07:57] idefine: oh, i see. well, try booting previous kernel or so and see why the driver isn't loaded? [07:58] need help with i this i have installed wow i have done the opengl thingi in regedit and in config.wtf and even in launch options it starts fine i can login and everything but when i enter a world with a char i get this stripes with all cinds of colours everywere anyone know how to get rid of them ? [07:58] Favorit: well the kernel did not change, it is still 26-23-server [07:58] tml: do you knolw of any software out there, that can recovery data after a few write overs [07:58] No idea for my syslog-ng problem ? [07:58] chu_: let me have a look. [07:58] TML: http://users.softlab.ntua.gr/~thkala/projects/actkbd/ [07:58] I see a similar problem during startup; the splash screen (Ubuntu logo and progress bar) is skewed line-by-line into an unrecognisable mess. [07:59] Thanks Favorit [07:59] idefine: and let me guess, you're booting from that raid array as well? [07:59] Favorit: indeed. [07:59] since upgrading to intrepid, certain icons in my systray such as xchat and wireless icons are no longer having transparent backgrounds, they appear white and clash with my background color, how can i fix this? i use trayer and have tried using stalonetray and neither fix the issue. icons such as amsn and amarok have transparent backgrounds. [07:59] freegoo: Software, no. But I've heard of data recovery projects that got data off after something like 20 random overwrites [08:00] mikewu: Thanks, I'll give that a poke. [08:01] Daft_Punk: Maybe you could manually edit the icons to give them an alpha channel? [08:01] Favorit: the system starts booting, but it get's stuck. I get to a splash screen, I disabled it however to see where it gets stuck ....it says Driver sr needs to be updated for a while and then continues to spit out messages about drives on the raid array. [08:01] chu_: looks like ACPI support is b0rked for that type of laptop, let me see if there are any more details on what to do with it === sean is now known as Guest72770 [08:02] idefine: and then hangs? [08:02] Favorit: messages keep coming, but yes, it hangs there. [08:02] mikewu: It seems that actkbd doesn't happen at a low-enough level to trap Alt-F1 [08:03] Favorit: I can reboot if i do a ctr+alt+delete early, but after a while I have to had shutdown [08:03] idefine: try booting off livecd, roll back the driver update? [08:03] Favorit: how would I roll back? [08:03] idefine: well, that module came with some package, right? try forcing it to install previous version [08:04] Favorit: well I didn't update any drivers, ubuntu did an update and got some new things one of which was a kernel module update i believe. [08:04] Favorit: I have heard there may be a fix with 9.04 (although I'm hesitant to try the alpha; 8.10 is so good at the moment) - though if possible I would like to somehow contribute, and this seems to be the most obvious, do you know where I would go if I was interested in adding acpi support.. where would I go? Heh, fairly large question I guess [08:04] idefine: indeed, then just re-install previous version of that module [08:05] chu_: yeah, so I've read as well, but I wouldn't recommend going 9.04 just yet :) [08:05] hi, someone here who's good at Makefiles? I'm trying to compile a program which uses a library in /usr/local/lib, but the whole '-L/path/to/lib' thing doesn't work. I get runtime complains about not finding the shared object file. [08:05] TML: does this happen right when using the linux kernel with nothing else present? [08:05] TML: somes guys over at arch linux got it working in the ttys [08:05] http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=333993 [08:06] I want to start remote desktop sharing from an ssh session? [08:06] ljungk: paste Makefile and compile errors to pastebin, give me link :) [08:06] yep [08:07] mikewu: silly me - that's what I get for reading the docs. The commands they give in the source don't function. Thanks. :) [08:07] I have done some research, and I was thinking, as I get nothing from /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0 (it literally tells me the 'device' does not exist), perhaps there's a clash between apm and acpi? Though I have no idea how to deal with this. [08:08] Favorit: I do not know what module was installed, anyway to determine what was last done by the package manager? [08:08] chu_: that would be very weird if apm clashed acpi :) [08:08] idefine: hmm, most likely, let me just try and recall where it keeps the history for you [08:08] Well, that's reassuring to some degree, now I guess I search elsewhere :p [08:09] chu_: although it's an easy test, disable APM in bios === prince_j1mmys is now known as prince_jammys [08:09] chu_: speaking of bios, is ACPI enabled in bios? :P (dumb question, but still) [08:09] ok. here's the Makefile: http://paste.ubuntu.com/120011/ (it is the corona lib which gives me errors). compiling is not the issue, but when i run the program, i get: 'error while loading shared libraries' [08:10] is there a good way to list the id3 data of files in a directory? [08:10] CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED=n same with CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH=n ? ini ubuntu? [08:10] To be honest, I'm not sure, I will have a look, but I don't really know what I'm looking for, so it's kind of overwhelming at times. [08:10] if i move the libraries to /usr/lib it works fine. i just wan't to know how to specify a custom path for them [08:11] ljungk: ah, hehe, that has nothing to do with compiling I'm afraid [08:11] ljungk: does your /etc/ld.so.conf contain /usr/local/lib ? [08:11] Favorit, I will go check now, I will hopefully return :p [08:11] *checks...* [08:11] chu_: hehe, good luck [08:12] idefine: /var/log/dpkg.log should give you an idea [08:12] * Favorit is dumb and sleepy [08:12] Favorit: cool, will take a look, thanks. [08:12] try2free: the former doesn't seem to exist in intrepid's 2.6.27, and the latter is set to 'y' [08:13] wth, snowing again. what's that with dutch winter these days. where's my sun and warmth! [08:13] hai [08:13] balrog__: Try eyed3 or easytag [08:13] welcom to thailand /hacking [08:14] mikewu: is there a command line utility to do it? [08:14] crdlb: but in shorewall documentation we must set CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED=n to make balance 'Multi ISP' run. how? [08:14] balrog__: i know eyed3 is command line, not sure about easytag [08:14] try2free: I think that option has been removed from the kernel entirely [08:14] mikewu: oh, i suppose i could have checked that. thanks. [08:15] try2free: what version of ubuntu are you using? [08:15] Favorit: /etc/ld.so.conf includes the files in ld.so.conf.d. there i find libc.conf containing '/usr/local/lib' [08:15] hello all [08:15] crdlb: 8.04 [08:16] ljungk: hmm, and if you run 'ldd ' does it successfully resolve all lib locations? [08:16] crdlb: so i can't set multi isp with ubuntu 8.04? [08:16] sorry dunno try ima newbie [08:16] try2free: the option is gone because the code was removed from the kernel [08:17] oh sorry didnt know yall was talkin [08:17] thought it waws ghost town lol [08:17] Favorit: nope, i get: 'libcorona-1.0.2.so => not found' [08:18] 192.168.1.4 [08:18] anyone familiar with amorok? === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [08:18] I am new to things and amorok ..all the text in the menus and songlist etc is invisable [08:19] ljungk: then ldconfig doesn't look into /usr/local/lib [08:19] like the font gets faded into the background somehow regardless of what theme i have [08:19] try2free: in other words, you should be fine because the broken code is not even available now [08:19] hello, is it possible to open a folder with a terminal command, eg: if I wanted to open "pictures" with out clicking on it [08:21] Favorit: yes [08:21] brez-: do you mean open in nautilus? then just nautilus ./pictures [08:21] Favorit: and how can I change this behavior? [08:22] ljungk: let's see... [08:22] nice [08:23] ljungk: does "ldconfig -p | grep corona" see your lib/ [08:23] is it possible to package something like an online book for offline reading? [08:24] poet: what kind of format is it online? [08:24] mikewu: html [08:24] Favorit - I found nothing in the BIOS that even mentioned ACPI or APM :p [08:24] chu_: eh? :) no acpi configuration can well be, but no APM?? [08:24] Favorit: nope, so there is no record of where to look? that's not so good... [08:24] poet: multiple pages or just one? [08:25] Well, not that I could find, perhaps I'm not looking in the right place though... The laptop itself is only like a month old (only has 8.10 installed), so I would *hope* the bios is updated etc. [08:25] mikewu: I believe only multiple pages [08:26] ljungk: ok, and if you re-run ldconfig -v (as root or with sudo) and check if it finds your lib or even looks at libs in /usr/local/lib? [08:26] mikewu: although I imagine I could write a script to parse it into a single html page [08:26] ljungk: and then another stupid question but nevertheless, the libs are just in /usr/local/lib, not it a subdir, right? [08:26] Favorit: yep, I did that and now it's all fine. thank you for your help [08:27] ljungk: aha. nice. you're welcome [08:27] and now I've earned coffee and cigarette! [08:27] * Favorit afk [08:27] Favorit: is this always the case when compiling your own libraries? doesn't it automatically update itself? [08:27] poet: try curl to download all the urls and redirect them to files [08:27] ljungk: nope. [08:28] ljungk: you either need to libtool them, or run ldconfig to update caches [08:28] poet: then search for html2txt and just run them on the html files [08:28] Favorit: ok [08:28] mikewu: what kind of form would the end package take and how could I make it conveniently accessable to users? [08:28] ljungk: once your lib filename is cached you will no longer need to update anything, it just goes about the location, not the ymbols [08:28] and if you want just one file cat *txt final_result [08:29] poet: well you could leave it in the html if you wanted, or convert it to plain ascii text [08:29] but but. now i really need my smoke ;) [08:29] Favorit: yeah. well. good news is that THAT error is gone. bad news is now I get a seg fault. but that's probably more my own fault. :) === ubuntu_ is now known as HypoAlergenic [08:29] poet: accessable to users on the same machine or serve it over the web? [08:31] mikewu: on their machine. Would the package just download a bunch of html pages into /usr/share/doc or something similar? [08:32] curl would download into the working directory, but you could just move them somewhere and change the permissions so anything could view them [08:32] s/anything/anyone [08:32] ok [08:33] since upgrading to intrepid, certain icons in my systray such as xchat and wireless icons are no longer having transparent backgrounds, they appear white and clash with my background color, how can i fix this? i use trayer and have tried using stalonetray and neither fix the issue. icons such as amsn and amarok have transparent backgrounds. [08:34] crdlb: thanks [08:34] how to upgrade from shorewall 4.0.6 to 4.2.6? in hardy? [08:35] i install and enable APC. but i need a web based statistic pages for APC. i see same page in another server. can you tell me how can i have one of that pages? [08:35] try2free: is there a package in the repos ? [08:36] ikonia: i am new in ubuntu, not know. how to check that? [08:37] try2free: if you have shorewall currently installed, update manager will notify you when / if there is an upgrade packcage available for you [08:37] try2free, apt-cache search shore [08:38] ikonia: but there is not any. i check in shorewall website latest is 4.2.6 [08:39] Kartagis: tq [08:39] try2free: shorewalls' latest is not always ubuntus latest - and with good reason [08:39] ljungk: gdb is your friend for segfaults :) [08:39] try2free: why do you want 4.2.6 ? [08:39] 123456 [08:41] because i am using multi isp, if i down one isp the other can't connect, i want automatic switch between isp. i must set manual in tcrules. [08:41] i just installed ibex as a fresh install (but kept my /home/ from hardy). installer asked me to create a user to log in with; so i did; problem is; all my files are under /home/chasetoys (which still exists) but theres no entry in /etc/passwd; so should i create a new user named chasetoys? [08:41] moin [08:41] also what would have happened if i would have used chasetoys when i walked through the install wizard? would it have overwritten all my files? [08:42] try2free: what is wrong with your current shorewall ? [08:42] ikonia: not automatically switch between isp. [08:42] ikonia: i have two isp [08:42] try2free: and you know the current version does ? [08:42] try2free: yes, you've said you have two isp's [08:43] hey on GNOME if youve installed a custom login screen but it doesnt have a window for you username and password, do you just type them and press enter the same way as if it were there? [08:43] ikonia: yes, i follow the instruction in magazine [08:43] try2free: and those instructions don't work with your current version [08:43] yes, i think so [08:44] try2free: there is no current update package available for Ubuntu 8.04 [08:44] try was that answer for me? [08:45] ikonia: tq, i try check again maybe i have mistake in follow instruction. [08:45] Favorit: hey, ok, I have dropped into an initramfs prompt (ash shell) any ideas wath ta could mean? I got Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/some-long-uuid does ntot exist. Dropping to a shell [08:46] anyone that can answer a question about the GNOME login screen? [08:46] Favorit: ah, smoking, ok....I will get a pb and j in that case. [08:47] Rainium_Isotope_: just ask [08:47] if a custom login screen does not have a window to enter your username or password, do you just enter them as if it were there? [08:47] idefine: hmm [08:48] Rainium_Isotope_: you contact the person who made the custom login screen [08:48] okay, thanks. i just didnt want to try it without checking first [08:48] ill ask them [08:49] hi is there a specific css channel here? [08:49] paul68: #css [08:49] Favorit: any ideas? I would assume that it's a problem that the /boot partition is on the raid array....and since rocketraid 2300 is not entirely hardware raid it needs to load the rest of the drivers? However I did not face this problem before. [08:49] idefine: that would mean that either disk uuid's have changed or that driver isn't loaded [08:49] paul68: check freenodes website rather than asking here [08:49] ikonia: thanks [08:49] idefine: rocket raid is "fakeraid" and has terrible linux support [08:50] ikonia: i know, it's terrible. what do you recommend? [08:50] idefine: not using it - or using software raid [08:50] ikonia: I am open to purchasing another raid card, what would you recommend pci-express. [08:51] idefine: either a very expensive fully linux supported hardware raid card from 3ware (for example) or just use software raid with your current card [08:51] hi there, I really have no experience with linux dist but I;m learning PHP and i wana generate some graph using pChart lib. Into that library sources are some samples and a buildAll.cmd file. How can I run the buildAll.cmd file into a linux env?

[08:56] b4chip: the batch file just seems to call php on each of the samples [08:56] you can do the same thing on linux with just php -q filename [08:57] Nastya: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=216531 [08:57] ikonia: can you recommend a good 3ware card that fully supports linux? [08:57] Nastya: see the third post [08:58] idefine: look on the 3ware site [08:58] ikonia: ok, so $800, well damn [08:59] idefine: I did say expensive [08:59] idefine: that is the price of hardware raid [09:00] ikonia: can you give me brief detail of what the performance differences would be between a software raid and a hardware raid? [09:00] need help with this... offtopic. how do i sftp to a particular server port? the --help doesnt provide that for me [09:00] idefine: errro that's massivly subjectivev.

[09:03] ikonia: it's a server that is going to be running some critical applications and data loss is not acceptable, we were doing remote backups, but the server is sometimes installed in locations where a remote backup is not possible. [09:03] ActionParsnip: your using fluxbox - but your still loading the kde/qt libs to run that app [09:03] ActionParsnip: err well the QT libs should be loaded in the memory, it depends whether the KDE services use more ram then the fluxbox one's [09:03] Lamerion: try sftp -oPort=port_number [09:03] ikonia: so technically its more ram then? [09:03] affirmative [09:03] ikonia: neither are external drives/etc. [09:04] idefine: then you should be able to spend $800 [09:04] idefine: software raid would also be very acceptable - as long as you read up on how to manage it [09:04] mikewu: when i type php on the command line, i get the following message: "command not found" this means I;m not allowed to run php from CLI? [09:05] b4chip: it means that php isn't installed [09:05] b4chip: it means you don't have php-cli installed [09:05] b4chip: you need to install the php command line application [09:05] ziroday: i'm just curious as the main use of my system is samba, amarok and ktorrent due to web based controls (habit) but I like fluxbox for low ram use, if it turns out I'm using more ram using fluxbox then I need to dro pit like its hot [09:05] !info php5-cli [09:05] php5-cli (source: php5): command-line interpreter for the php5 scripting language.

[09:06] ActionParsnip: well try it out, but my guess would be that fluxbox+kde apps use less ram then kde+kde apps. [09:06] ziroday: thats what I was after :) [09:06] ActionParsnip: thats my estimate though, test it out [09:06] hello... may someone help me with MPD? it was working fine after I installed it.. but after restarting the cpu and trying to run mpd I get this --> http://pastebin.com/d3bda118d [09:07] ziroday: well i kinda am but my ram values jump pretty wildly as the system is accessed by a few systems [09:08] ActionParsnip: well if its a server then and you're worried about ram usage then I wouldn't even be starting X/ [09:08] gldtn: sudo chown the ~/.mpd folder to the right user [09:08] ziroday: i just want max resources.

[09:16] ActionParsnip: Sure. But the regular username won't benefir since the .mpd file he wants is in unreadable to him /root [09:16] gldtn: could try sudo chmod -R 775 ~/.mpd [09:16] genii: oic === zero is now known as Guest21135 [09:17] ikonia: what do you think about this card: http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/products/Controllers/Hardware/sata/performance/SAS-5805/ [09:17] genii: wont it be accessible though as he is restarting the services via sudo?

[09:35] idefine: possible options now to recover would be to generate an initrd with the right drivers for your kernel and boot up from some alternative media (usb stick or whatnot), and then see if you can do the same for your system drive [09:35] mikewu, http://pastebin.com/m28b9d085 [09:36] savvas: there are plenty of filters that will do a good job at upscaling images first of all, and it manages to look good in the same browser in other places (windows, macos, ubuntu installs i've ran before) [09:36] shruggar: if you edit the interfaces line it will supercede anything network manager does [09:36] Favorit: I will just reinstall the system (just installed it). [09:36] put /boot on another drive (not on raid) [09:36] shruggar: if you are using a desktop pc which will always take dhcp you can remove network manager and just use the interfaces file [09:36] savvas: also i dont know the size of these images exactly how small they are ... some of them may not even be small i'll take a look at a large image and see [09:37] ZeZu: is firfox ok now?

[09:41] ActionParsnip: since most people who require that guidance can't figure out if it went allright or not, if it fails it can screw something up :) [09:41] Favorit: well the previos command success isnt hugely impacting [09:41] ActionParsnip: depends on what failed :) [09:41] Favorit: if firefox doesnt remove, autoremove wont do much [09:42] i have a sound blaster live card; i upgraded from hardy => intrepid; but intrepid thinks its just one output when its 5.1 [09:42] how do i fix? [09:42] ActionParsnip: yeah, well, maybe not in this case, although I've learned from my own typoerrors or whatnot that having && is very nice against extra grey hair :) [09:42] hello, in the terminal when it shows; name@hostname:~$, is there anyway to change that to eg; [name@hostname]: [09:42] Favorit: oh they are definately beneficial [09:43] brEz-: change your PS1 variable [09:43] ActionParsnip, mikewu ; thanks for the help btw!

[09:52] dnsmasq [09:52] creek23_: try df -h [09:53] Cool_Nick: sudo apt-get --purge remove dnsmasq [09:53] guys so I don't annoy anyone I am a newb with a bug on Jaunty Alpha 4 wishing to discuss a bug on 2 seperate machines after latest update? [09:53] Cool_Nick: failing that, install it again then uninstall [09:53] is this the right place. [09:53] you have new mail in /var/mail/rick [09:53] nigel: /join #ubuntu+1 [09:53] nigel: jaunty is disscussed in #ubuntu+1 [09:53] But the mail command just suggested some clients I guess [09:53] nigel: and if you a new user, running development versions is not a good idea [09:54] well been using for a year...I know but wanted to contribute. [09:54] ActionParsnip, ok it seems to be calling the correct file.. the only thing is that it seems like configuration is wrong?? it works fine under the current one I have [09:54] gldtn: then edit the file to make it right [09:54] ActionParsnip, Ill investigate under googling [09:54] the apt-get remove with and without purge fail as it says its not installed...I guess teh ubuntu installation failed to anounce it.

I strongly suggest not using it on a regular basis as it is in no way graceful [09:59] Thank you ActionParsnip and savvas [10:00] Cool_Nick: i'd recommend running: sudo apt-get -f install; sudo apt-get update afterwards to make sure everything is nice [10:00] !kernel [10:00] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [10:00] I've checked out the above, was just wondering if there is a backport kernel repository, or if i could load jaunty kernels into intrepid someway ? [10:00] JackWinter: no you can't [10:01] ikonia: why not ? [10:01] JackWinter: because they are packaged up with different configs [10:01] ActionParsnip: --force-all not understood [10:01] JackWinter: plus they are also unstable builds at the moment [10:02] ActionParsnip: wait, tried it with aptget trying with dpgk now [10:02] Cool_Nick: can you give us the pastebin of the output if you try to apt-get remove itplease [10:02] !paste [10:02] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

Then insert the backup.sh in your cron. You'll also be able to do a little logging from that backup.sh [10:11] i'll give it a go later favorit [10:11] when i go to System \ Administration \ Printing , its diffrent from others and i dont have smb to add ?

[10:15] creek23_, your at 100 percent for / [10:15] creek23_: i'd imagine so, read through: dpkg -l | less and uninstall apps you don't use [10:16] creek23_: like pdf viewers, grapics packages, digital camera support etc etc [10:16] creek23_: gimp is quite heavy if you never use it, get rid [10:16] ikonia, That did it. thanks. Im going to have to remember that -L option [10:17] creek23_: also check /var/log for huge logfiles? [10:17] Cool_Nick2: -l - no -L [10:17] creek23_: you need to carve some apps out [10:17] will disk usage analyser show installed apps and usage? [10:17] ActionParsnip, The thing ikona suggested was the answer [10:17] Cool_Nick2: dpkg -l lists all installed apps ;) [10:17] Cool_Nick2: you got there in the end so groovy :) [10:18] ikonia: cheers duder [10:18] I've got a busted drive (grub 17, won't mount. lots of IO errors) with 3 partitions (and fdisk still reads the partition table), can anyone suggest a data recovery strategy (e.g. tools, image etc) ? [10:18] is it okay to simply remove all log files in /var/log [10:18] ezerhoden: /usr/src seems to contain only the headers, while it seems like the source it self is installed in /boot ? [10:18] creek23_: depends if you want them [10:18] JackWinter: not where i would expect it to be [10:18] JackWinter: no source getis insalled in /boot [10:19] JackWinter: /boot is for a final compressed kernel image only [10:19] !kernel > JackWinter [10:19] JackWinter, please see my private message [10:19] ShredZ: you can use dd_rescue to create an image of the drive on another partition, then use foremost on the image to recover the files from the image, some may be corrupted so don't expect miracles [10:19] !ps1 [10:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about ps1 [10:19] I just taught you, you bastage [10:19] ShredZ: if the data is this important you should have a backup which you would be able to easily restore [10:19] How can I check the temperature in ubuntu server [10:20] Favorit: it needs to be authorised first, I think it's stdin's bot [10:20] ActionParsnip: yeah, so I heard :) [10:20] Favorit: only editors can update the bot [10:20] DGRick: use lmsensors ? [10:21] ikonia: Well if I recall correctly I once logged out and logged in and I saw temperature etc. [10:21] DGRick: think you remember wong [10:21] ActionParsnip - a few days ago i installed the latest updates and ever since then i cannot play flash through my firefox browser, im not sure if one of the packages had anything to do with it.. [10:21] ikonia: But I for sure saw the temperature within ubuntu without installing 3rd party [10:21] DGRick: lmsensors is not 3rd party [10:21] ikonia and ezerhoden: check this out: http://pastebin.com/d28df7422 that is after following the instructions from !kernel [10:22] big-bro: oic, just close all your browsers down and rerun tem, flash be yours [10:22] ikonia: Than what is lmsensors? [10:22] !info lmsensors [10:22] Package lmsensors does not exist in intrepid [10:22] !find senso [10:22] Found: libsensors-dev, libsensors3, libsensors4, libsensors4-dev, lm-sensors (and 9 others) [10:22] !info lm-sensors [10:22] lm-sensors (source: lm-sensors-3): utilities to read temperature/voltage/fan sensors. In component main, is extra. Version 1:3.0.2-1ubuntu2 (intrepid), package size 121 kB, installed size 564 kB [10:22] DGRick: just an application [10:22] Ya I meant application. sorry I used the wrong word. [10:23] DGRick: sudo apt-get install lm-sensors [10:23] DGRick: then you cant do it [10:23] I'm absolutly sure I saw the temperature with some other stats. [10:23] DGRick: something needs to monitor it [10:24] JackWinter: well, thats the source. [10:24] ezerhoden: so i'll move that over to /usr/src ? [10:24] no idea how it go there... [10:24] installed, but how do I use it? [10:24] not sure if this is accurate but `cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature` gives me back some reading of temp [10:25] mikewu: depends how well bios acpi is supported for that board [10:25] DGRick: run sensors-detect [10:25] DGRick: try lm-sensors & in terminal [10:25] that too [10:25] ok [10:26] JackWinter: sure. i guess it does not really matter,as long as you don't keep a seperate /boot that only has limited space. it is typical to keep a linux file in /usr/src/ that is a symbolic like to the current source directory which could be anywhere [10:26] DGRick: you may find an entry for it in your gnome menu some place [10:26] ActionParsnip - firefox isnt opened, only this forum is, but i just tried opening firefox and the same thing - vids wont play, they just dont load.should i restart computer maybe? [10:26] where can I get a package for kaudiocreator? [10:27] ActionParsnip: It's ubuntu server [10:27] !find audiocre [10:27] File audiocre found in fvwm-crystal, kde-icons-gorilla, kde-icons-kneu, kde-icons-korilla, kde-icons-mono (and 58 others) [10:27] It detected all the sensors, what now? [10:27] big-bro: are you running a 64bit linux? [10:28] JackWinter: 'symbolic link' that should read, not 'symbolic like' [10:28] DGRick: type sensors [10:28] agh, I got called to a meeting and if anyone answered my question since then, my buffer wasn't large enough to keep it [10:28] yes i am ActionParsnip [10:28] wicked, very much appreciated y'all [10:28] big-bro, and java worked prior to updates? [10:28] now my last newb question: how to check free space left of my current partition? === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [10:29] what I last said was: ActionParsnip: but there /is/ no interfaces line, is my point :) and I don't ever want to use DHCP. Can I just tell networkmanager to only use the connection I've defined?

[11:21] blackjak: you can use gksudo gedit to edit the file, then its not in console [11:21] A good rule of thumb to enabling root account is - if you can't explain to yourself why you need it for what you can't do with sudo - don't unlock. [11:21] Geek`N`Proud: true but i doubt he does [11:21] Geek`N`Proud: well does not log in graphically [11:22] ok but still I can not get connected using the netwrok manager gui [11:22] bye [11:22] Trying to use http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.10ubuntu1~intrepid1_all.deb to build a chroot from Debian.

[11:22] Favorit: true [11:22] blackjak: you dont need it, after editting the file run: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [11:23] blackjak: there is noting your user account cannot do that root cannot do, the root account gives you nothing and lessens security now you have enabled it. [11:23] blackjak: out of curiosity, why did you enable it? [11:23] damn [11:24] Moreover, if you need root shell - sudo -i/sudo -s is a native replacement :) [11:24] Favorit: exactly, i just wanna hear whats coming next [11:24] because it is easier to do things in the system.Copy files and folder anywhere, read , change with other words it is a lot more easier for me that typing sudo and gksudo [11:25] blackjak: you can sudo cp stuff or even gksudo nautilus if need be [11:25] blackjak: if you need to copy files on the system too much outside of your homedir, there's something wrong [11:25] blackjak: but even if you do, just open terminal, type sudo -s and voila, root shell [11:26] blackjak: running your whole x server and gnome as root is massively unsafe, its not disabled just to make you type sudo for laughs, its actually massivly beneficial [11:26] blackjak: having various user applications running as root is potentially very insecure. [11:26] is thee any way i can revert back to my old nova t500 drivers on ubuntu ? [11:26] blackjak: and if you're unhappy about having to type in password for sudo commands, just add NOPASSWD: ALL to sudoers [11:27] ActionParsnip: Thanks a lot, changing keyboard layout in xorg.conf fixed it! [11:27] although that's also not a very good idea, but well, easens things up [11:27] lunix: awesome dude :) [11:27] is there any bash command to see system information? [11:27] bangalibabu_: what kind of information? [11:27] where's the link that explains how to create packages [11:27] lunix: xorg.conf is trying to get lessened in functionality but it can save the day :) [11:27] bangalibabu_: system info in what sense? [11:28] what could happen I do not understand.Everybody says it is unsafe but no one says exactly what the danger is [11:28] blackjak: let me put it simple for you === Stooge`fium is now known as Stooge [11:29] blackjak: program X has a vulnerability. while that program is running under user Y, compromising it will only lead to compromising what user Y can do on the system. When program X runs under root - compromising it == compromising the system [11:29] smile your on camera ;D [11:29] blackjak: well when you run apps they have the control of the account you own, if that app malfunctions and starts writing spurious rubbish to the system it can harm the system. If its a web app, its running as root and any java / flash applet will also get root priveledges so can do anything to your system [11:29] blackjak: now, that's one example. now imagine that while running Xorg & co you're running dozens of applications. [11:29] theres also human error. One day youll be grateful when you try to delete a wrong directory by accident, to be told that you dont have permissions [11:29] gmorning everyone. [11:30] blackjak: if someone starts to attack your system and infiltrates a process s/he will gain the running rights of that user, if this is a user rather than root the access is significantly less [11:30] bangalibabu_: please don't pm me, i'm barely following the channel, let alone private messages [11:30] blackjak: any file created by root will be owned by root, if they are required by other users they will need to be chown / chmodded for the user to get proper access [11:30] carpii__: hehe, rm -rf file* instead of rm -rf file* has brought me a LOT of extra grey hair one day ;) [11:30] blackjak: want me to continue? [11:31] favorit: okay [11:31] !package basics [11:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about package basics [11:31] :P [11:31] !packages [11:31] You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search ", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! [11:31] blackjak: the account is disabled for a good reason [11:31] bangalibabu_: but the question: you can use "top" to see running processes, you can use "df" to see disk space, you can use "ifconfig" to see VERy basic net stats [11:31] blackjak: why do you think all the documentation in guides uses sudo and gksudo [11:31] favorit: e.g.cpu history, network usage, disks usage............ [11:31] hello any one I am facing a problem to run utf-8 in terminal [11:31] zxd: google up "creating debian packages" [11:31] well I thought that linux can not be invaded by malicious code, like viruses in IWndows [11:32] Favorit, there is an ubuntu guide [11:32] laxmi: ow? why's that [11:32] blackjak: there is malicious code [11:32] blackjak: it can, but it can't do anything if you run as a normal user [11:32] blackjak: just not so many virii [11:32] well, it can't infect the entire system, anyway. [11:32] blackjak, its only more secure if you allow it to have control [11:32] hello [11:32] zxd: s/debian/ubuntu/ although the packages are identical for what concerns making those [11:32] running everything as root and youre as vulnerable as windows [11:33] in other words there are viruses for linux too. [11:33] blackjak: a flash app could have code to check OS then put some nice garbage text in a part of your kernel files, reboot system and poof, no bootup [11:33] hi favorit [11:33] I have a RADEON x1950 card in my computer, but I had a really hard time getting drivers to work, a week or two ago there came some big update from ATI, anyone knows if these cards work "out of the box" now? Im afraid to start to mess with it, since ill probably mess up all configurations in system, and Im very happy about the system now (except for the graphic rendering:)) [11:33] blackjak: that's a myth. linux can be invaded, any OS can be invaded, it's a matter of proper use. even windows can be jailed to the point where the invader won't get jack by invading it, it's just the fact that 99.9% of services are running from system accounts in windows make it totally crappy, and by using root everywhere on linux you bring it up to the same point abouts. [11:33] blackjak: they're rare [11:34] laxmi: hi [11:34] blackjak: running that as a user would have only read access so the data is unmodifiable [11:34] blackjak: because people do not run as root, viruses can't easily infect the entire system [11:34] blackjak: for example, they can't modify any executables. [11:34] you should get a good linux intro book if youre even questioning this [11:34] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide [11:34] blackjak: unless you have some in your home direcotry. [11:34] actually... [11:34] !packaging [11:34] The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [11:35] hah [11:35] blackjak: its your system at the end of the day but we can keep going all day why root is disabled [11:35] hm [11:35] is there somewhere that says canonical or the ubuntu projects official stance on whether to use 32bit or 64bit versions of ubuntu? [11:35] chelz: its your choice [11:35] chelz: the only stance is your amount of memory really :) [11:35] most importantly, root is disabled because for a casual user, root is an unnecessary complication [11:35] I see. [11:35] since you guys re speaking about root.. I just remembered me when I tried running xchat under root in slackware.. it told me it was stupid lol [11:35] ikonia: well they must recommend one or the other [11:36] chelz: no they mustenet [11:36] chelz: it's your choice [11:36] gldtn: xsane does the same thing [11:36] not really. theyd like people to use 64-bit to get things more stable, but they fall short of recommending it, because its not ready for all tasks [11:36] the system will prompt you when it needs authorisation to do something [11:36] gldtn: and it was damn right! :D [11:36] ikonia: is there any measure of which is more stable? [11:36] sudo and related mechanisms allow this [11:36] kkk yeah it was [11:36] irc'ing as root calls for trouble :) [11:36] haah irc client as root, textbook [11:36] chelz: no [11:37] chelz: they are both the same [11:37] Will loging into the old ubuntu distro be like a fresh install ? [11:37] we used to have k-lines for root@* in efNet back in the days [11:37] flash / java as root is equally bad [11:37] Favorit: great, but nobody really cares [11:37] hahahah i found it cool that it warns you in such manner :D [11:37] moving on. [11:37] eth01: wasup [11:37] shouldn't i get a dialog menu when I type " dpkg-reconfigure locales " ? [11:37] Hello people, I would like a new theme for my Ubuntu... How would i do so? [11:38] AlfieH: get one from gnome-look.org [11:38] eth01: hm? what's your problem? [11:38] AlfieH: There's loads at www.gnome-look.org [11:38] I got one, downloads in a file... How do i install it mate? [11:38] is there any bash command for checking disks usage [11:38] AlfieH: open the theme manager application from system->prefernces [11:38] bangalibabu_: df -h [11:38] AlfieH: YOu install them by dragging the downloaded file onto the white box in appearance [11:38] AlfieH: This will install it automatically [11:39] !themes [11:39] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [11:39] Jampiter: sure you mean automagically ;) [11:39] AlfieH: it is all documented there [11:39] ActionParsnip: Hehe :p [11:39] eth01: wassup duder? [11:39] Jampiter: its a linux phrase :D [11:39] AlfieH, goto System > Preferences > Appearance and drag the tar.gz file to it [11:39] afaik [11:39] ActionParsnip: I see :p [11:39] is there any command for checking for network usage? [11:39] bangalibabu_: ifconfig [11:40] Ive downloaded this one : http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/MacOS-X+Aqua+Theme?content=13548 [11:40] AlfieH: I've just passed you the documentations [11:40] !themes | AlfieH [11:40] AlfieH: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [11:40] thank you ikonia [11:40] It has like sorry wrong one. [11:41] right now I'm logged as a user.But still it is very anoying when you do something and you do it right.I mean in the gui interface.It is easy.Everybody can do it without need to know the commands in linux.However then nothing happens.So I'm guessing it is because I do not have a root previlleges (wrong spelled) like when I want to make a manual connection to the internet without using DHCP. [11:41] http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Yakano+-Colors-?content=95885 < It has more than 1 download file.... what do i do with the rest? [11:41] blackjak: change it then [11:41] Is there a way of taking a complete backup of my system?? I would like to get my x1950 card to work, but im sure it will mess up everything.. :| [11:41] AlfieH: I've just passed you the documentation on how to do it [11:41] AlfieH: read the documentation I've passed you [11:42] blackjak: you use gksudo gedit to edit the interfaces file, or sudo nano / sudo vi to edit in the console [11:42] !backup | lunix [11:42] lunix: 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 [11:42] well network manager does not show me a dialog to type password [11:42] blackjak: well, look, noone _forces_ you to not to use root. You can also use teaspoon to dig the 2nd english channel, it's a matter of personal preference. What many people are implying is that it's simply bad habit and is discouraged. Nothing more :) [11:42] blackjak: the rest of your system is running as user but only that one commmand is running as root which is al lthat you need [11:42] blackjak: network manager uses a daemon that runs in the background and does not require you to enter a password === Ozreichter is now known as Kryzler [11:44] blackjak: the whole OS doesnt need to be running as root to edit a text file, only the app editing the file does (if the file happens to be owned by root) [11:44] Hello, I have ubuntu hardy and quit dialog shows only after 30-50s after I press quit the first time. I've read that this could happen if gnome-power-manager isn't running, however on my system it is running. [11:44] thanks ubottu and adam7! Ill do some reading:) [11:45] Ok I'll keep in mind what we have discussed here. [11:45] ZaltysZ: you coul try reinstalling the package [11:45] http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Yakano+-Colors-?content=95885 < It has files for compiz and beryl? [11:45] how do i set the default locale in ubuntu [11:45] AlfieH: you've just posted that [11:45] ActionParsnip, tried [11:45] AlfieH: read the docs you where sent - it walks you through it [11:46] !locale | zxd [11:46] zxd: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [11:47] hei [11:47] i made an email server [11:47] i mail to someone when he try to mail back says [11:47] nETspideR: wtg :) [11:47] Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 550 Unrouteable address [11:47] nETspideR: sounds like you don't have an MX record [11:48] how do i make that [11:48] nETspideR: or your ISP is blocking you ports (quite common) [11:48] I working over ssh with emacs, why I can't see colorful syntax of my code? [11:48] nETspideR: you need access to your DNS zone files [11:48] nETspideR: did you register your email domain somplace so it can be resolved to your ip [11:48] no i didnt [11:48] where i can register an email domain [11:48] which is the command to view the current bandwidth in use by every program running? [11:49] nETspideR: www.no-ip.com [11:49] nETspideR: any domain registrra, google it [11:49] lvlefisto: ntop [11:49] ok ill go eat and then back to register [11:49] ikonia: thanks [11:49] the site you sent me dosent help me install this theme.... theres more than 1 files, Like colours etc.... But i think it needs diffrent theme managers? [11:49] \list [11:50] AlfieH: thats right - you want a metacity theme [11:50] what was the command for making sudo and gksudo to nor ask for a password [11:50] blackjak: you edit the sudoers file [11:50] blackjak: scroll up the chat, you will see it [11:51] ActionParsnip, it dosen't say how to set the default locale , just how to generate it [11:51] zxd: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=234927 [11:52] why does ubuntu not yet have a 'minimize-all-button', did you not yet reverse engineer it? [11:53] Vinceman: it does [11:53] Vinceman: bottom left of your gnome desktop [11:53] Vinceman: or ctrl+alt+d [11:53] ok thx [11:53] haivasta! [11:53] and theres no need to reverse engineer something thats open source ;D [11:53] ikonia, so how would i install this theme.... Im bare new to ubuntu so tbh... Im like a retard :D [11:54] AlfieH: you download the theme file - and drag it into the appearance window as the docuents/people in this channel have said [11:54] carpii__ but I supposed you got inspiration for the idea from windows? [11:54] To make a complete image of my harddrive I can use sbackup i think. Will this make it possible to "install" ubuntu over again from my backup? [11:54] Vinceman: no - please don't start that sort of pointless argument [11:55] how do I change the default encoding of gnome-terminal [11:55] yeh i done that.... but the theme looks nothing like the theme on the site. [11:55] it always goes back to utf-8 and I have to change it manually from menu [11:55] AlfieH: contact the theme owner then [11:55] AlfieH: we don't support 3rd party peoples themes [11:55] Aperculum: edit default profile [11:56] encoding is not in the profile [11:56] I've searched, it's not there [11:57] http://www.sexyemilie.com/?id=1359994 [11:57] Aperculum: moment [11:57] !ot event [11:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about ot event [11:57] !ot | event [11:57] event: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! [11:58] Aperculum: hmm, that's a good one indeed :P [11:58] is wireless internet of good use or is it all just easy money making by the telecoms? [11:58] http://www.sexyemilie.com/?id=1359994 [11:58] persistant [12:00] Favorit, I find it interesting that the encoding is not within the profile [12:00] Aperculum: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-terminal/+bug/3923 [12:01] Aperculum: seems to be another religious war between the ideals of the coder and the usability of the software :) [12:02] well, commandline option sure would help me since I don't want to change locale for my whole system [12:03] just when I ssh to non-utf8 system [12:04] hello [12:04] I've messed something up with the sendmail. I was trying to send email from a local apache+php server using phpmailer library+sendmail, but something is not working at service level and I can't trace the problem because every /var/log/mail* log is empty and none of the are being written. How can I quit this stuck point? [12:04] hello.I have some problems with my cam drivers.I have Genius Eye 312 web cam,and can anyone tell me how to install it? === UdontKnow is now known as root [12:04] Aperculum: so far you'll have to rebuild gnome-terminal yourself :) [12:04] !webcam | LutiusVeratius [12:04] LutiusVeratius: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [12:05] I was looking on the forums,but still nothing as I can see...so I was hoping that maybe some has a solution here... === OSte is now known as OSte_MiaM [12:05] ActionParsnip : I'll look it now.Thanks [12:05] giacomo__, #ubuntu-server would be of great help [12:06] arvind_khadri, thank you [12:07] Hi, I have enabled ufw firewall and set deny all incoming, but I can still download data from a torrent client. Shouldn't that be blocked now? [12:07] hello [12:07] !hostname [12:07] Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab [12:07] Favorit, second from the bottom suggestion seems to work [12:07] bonkit: did you restart the firewall after modifying the config? [12:07] Yes! [12:08] If I backup the entire system, will I be able to get system like it is today by installing from normal ubuntu CD and then overwrite all files from my backup? I see that using ghost is a bad idea using linux :) [12:08] Aperculum: yeah, that would do it allright, although it's total bonkers that it's not in profiles, it is a damn trivial change that they've been refusing for the past 4 years so to see :) [12:09] I've just made a fresh minimal ubuntu install and I can't get my ssh alias working [12:09] lunix: just use something that preserves permissions to make a copy of the entire filesystem (from /) and when you want your system back, copy the backed up files back onto the drive [12:09] I used to write "ssh home" and it worked [12:09] I copied my /etc/host file from the old machine [12:10] ActionParsnip: I shouldn't have to edit iptables manually right? ufw overrides whatever settings there were? [12:10] alkamid: if you ping home does it resolve correctly? [12:10] hi all, my gdmgreeteris segfaulting any idea how to get it fixed? [12:10] and now when I type "ssh home" it says "Could not resolve hostname home: Name or service not known" [12:10] bonkit: i'm not sure i dont use ufw [12:10] alkamid: what does your /etc/host look like? [12:11] alkamid: it should be called /etc/hosts, not /etc/host [12:11] i want to remove pulseaudio to get skype working but it says it will remove ubuntu-desktop too?? that doesn't sound good, what shall i do? [12:11] ActionParsnip: nope, it says "unknown host home" [12:11] Favorit: it was a typing mistake, sorry [12:12] ActionParsnip: however, if I ping the full name (something.endoftheinternet.org) it pings okay [12:12] alkamid: yeah, just saying in case that's also the typing mistake you did with the file, that can cause the fact that it doesn't work [12:12] alkamid: look for "search" in /etc/resolv.conf, it should include your local domain name [12:12] alkamid: if you want short hostnames to resolve [12:13] Does anyone know if the install files downloaded using Add/Remove are saved somewhere for temp so I don't have to download them again? [12:13] alkamid: is the word home in your hosts file in lower case too, hosts file is case sensitive like the rest of your system [12:13] Stueh: apt cache should there be, yes [12:13] ActionParsnip: yes it is [12:13] Stueh: /etc/cache/apt [12:13] well, thanks a lot, you're my Favorit ;) [12:13] alkamid: try: nslookup home [12:13] Aperculum: hehe, you're welcome, google rocks ;) [12:14] ActionParsnip: here's a line from my hosts file: "something.endoftheinternet.org home" [12:14] Thankyou Favorit and alkamid [12:14] alkamid: do you have read access to the hosts file? [12:14] adam7: Thanks Ill do that:) much much much easier than with windows!! :D [12:14] Stueh: /var/cache/apt/archive [12:14] Every single time a new Kernal installs I have to manually correct it. It sets the partitions to the wrong HDD number. Any idea how I can fix that? [12:14] Stueh: apt-get caches in /var/cache/apt/archives [12:14] Aperculum: uh? /etc/cache/apt? live and learn... [12:14] (Grub) [12:14] Favorit: / alkamid: Do you know, per change, how long they're kept there? [12:14] Sal__, did you get everything sorted in the end? [12:14] hey guys i have an hfs+ (mac formated) ipod and i can not seem to mount it as writabe. what is the correct command? [12:15] Stueh: from what I can see on my system - it looks like indefinitely :) [12:15] ActionParsnip: /etc/cache/apt? I don't even have that. [12:15] Yay! [12:15] I don't have to download them again! [12:15] Stueh: it's an educated guess, don't take my word on indefinitely [12:15] ActionParsnip: what should the permissions be like? I mean number [12:15] Stueh: This'll give you some info: apt-cache stats [12:16] How do i install gtk2+ ? [12:16] I am with an ISP that has its own Ubuntu repos. I don't get it counted to my quota with my settings. Its great. [12:16] I'm on Satellite, due to my only other option being 28.8kb dialup. When you pay $100 a month for 1Mb/s and 5GB a month, you wanna save as much as you can. Cheers guys! :) [12:16] Yeah, fair call. [12:16] i tryed "sudo mount -o rw /dev/sdb3 /media/ipod" ALTHOUGH it mounted it is still read only. how can i change this? [12:16] Favorit: Stueh: It is indefinitely unless the user chooses to clear out the cache. We have had a long-standing bug that affects in particular ubuntu+1 testers where /var/ runs out of disk space as a result :) === LutiusVeratius is now known as LutiusVeratius|A [12:17] Hi, What's the chances of being able to utilize compiz on sun xvm? [12:17] * LutiusVeratius|A is away: Gone away for now [12:17] ActionParsnip: I think permissions are not the case as it's the same when I sudo ssh [12:17] anybody working with Alpha 4? [12:17] Stueh: Might be worth sending for the DVD to have a local repository :) [12:17] I have trouble with my gdmgreeter ;) not able to login [12:17] osp: #ubuntu+1 [12:17] IntuitiveNipple: hehe, i keep forgetting about that cache all the time, actually :) Sometimes takes me a while to figure where the hell did the space on /var disappear while there're really no applications that spit in there, not even logging :) [12:18] ActionParsnip: this is what nslookup gives me: "server can't find domek: NXDOMAIN" [12:18] I'd say thats a good idea. Satellite pays through the nose. What are you, rural Australia? [12:18] IntuitiveNipple: thanks :) [12:18] Ubuntu-9.04 has problem with openvpn [12:18] IntuitiveNipple: When disk space is low, does Ubuntu start removing caches but? [12:18] alkamid: that means it actually goes to dns instead of hosts [12:18] Favorit: Yeah... I have the apt cache in a separate LVM volume just to protect against /var/ running out of space [12:18] alkamid: what does "grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf" say? [12:18] I mean, if you've used the system for say, 12 months, especislly for developing stuff, I'd of thought it's get pretty cramped [12:18] IntuitiveNipple: that's a good one actually! Should do that as well [12:18] guy how can i mount a hfs formated drive with read and write access [12:19] Stueh: No, it causes some unexpected issues that aren't immediately obviously to do with apt's cache. [12:19] IntuitiveNipple: Also, I can get a DVD of the repository? :O [12:19] Favorit: hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 [12:19] Stueh: hang on, there'll be a link somewhere [12:19] Hi, I can't make Canon i255 Printer to work, I installed these pkg's as it's says in http://all-about-ubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/12/canon-i255-printer-driver.html, but I can't still print, what to do ? [12:19] IntuitiveNipple: Maybe I should upgrade my 30GB HDD then ;) [12:19] alkamid: interesting, so it _should_ be looking in your /etc/hosts [12:19] Stueh: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/purchase [12:19] Yeah... 30g? I think that is smaller than my steam directory. [12:20] 30gb is plenty of room for an Ubuntu install [12:20] alkamid: i wouldnt run ssh as sudo [12:20] alkamid: but its a good test [12:21] IntuitiveNipple: Huh, that'd save me a lot of money! =P [12:21] Also, if I go over my monthly downlad, it's 10c per MB >.> [12:21] Hey, please, I have to make the printer online [12:22] I just get throttled to 64k. So me over quota is you normally I bet. [12:22] Gnu_d What have you tried? [12:22] alkamid: are you putting the entry in /etc/host .conf or /etc/hosts [12:22] cdnexus: almost everything [12:22] /etc/hosts [12:22] alkamid: just checking [12:23] cdnexus: I added a new i255 in Printers gui in Gnome. [12:23] cdnexus: Nah, I get the full 1Mb/s, only problem is a 700 to 1500ms lag -.- [12:23] i m opning saypatic paccage manager . and i get a massge that dpkg was interped how can i resoleve this problem plz help me [12:23] Seeing it's satellite [12:23] alkamid: and is the entry entered: [12:23] Because the Australian government are d***s [12:24] Stueh: move to the international space station :p [12:24] delly: close synaptic [12:24] !fixapt | delly [12:24] delly: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [12:24] IntuitiveNipple: Ooooh! I'd probably get betters speeds though! [12:24] *nods* Canon are pretty rubbish for linux support sadly [12:24] http://gkn.interbrainz.com/i250ubuntu/ [12:24] Have a read of that [12:24] ok after than [12:25] ActionParsnip: not IP but a web address (xx.endoftheinterned.org) [12:25] it's a service for those who have dynamic ip and want to have a static address [12:25] internet* [12:25] cammand not found [12:25] cdnexus: hey what to try else ? [12:25] alkamid: it must be the ip [12:26] ActionParsnip: no, it doesn't have to be the ip! It worked on my old machine with what I had [12:26] 4/t [12:27] alkamid: you can alias it in ~/.bashrc [12:27] alkamid: export home="xx.endoftheinterned.org" === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [12:28] alkamid: then close the terminal, you can then ssh $home [12:29] ActionParsnip: okay, I know it [12:29] delly, sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a [12:29] ActionParsnip: I just wanted to know whats wrong with my current hosts (: [12:29] alkamid: ive never seen a hosts been used to translate a name to another name [12:30] i have run this cammaand [12:30] ActionParsnip: oh? I've seen people recommending this on forums [12:30] after than [12:30] delly: sudo apt-get update [12:30] delly: then do what you were gonna do [12:31] this is updating [12:32] dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [12:32] then do what it says :) just prepend it with sudo [12:32] so how will i do this [12:32] sudo dpkg --configure -a [12:32] like this [12:33] delly: it told you how to fix it [12:33] * ActionParsnip thinks it should offfer to autofix [12:33] ok what should i do. [12:34] what Favorit said [12:34] I would say run: `sudo dpkg --configure -a` again, and copy and paste the output into a pastebin [12:34] Hm. Anyone else here use Pidgin? [12:34] Nero-Wolf: me [12:34] can someone explain this error: http://pb.opperschaap.net/116 [12:34] ActionParsnip: Okay. Is it just me, or have the last few builds seemed REALLY unstable? [12:34] ActionParsnip: Even on Windows. === fo is now known as quaal [12:34] Nero-Wolf: windows, yeah sometimmes it hangs while pressing tab and it dies [12:35] Nero-Wolf: in linux its been fine [12:35] ActionParsnip: Wierd.

Thought to myself "... ... ... did I wake up in front of the wrong computer this morning?"

[12:46] May be a silly question, but I'm not sure. Does Ubuntu already have C++ installed to compile source?

[13:10] or with wubi can be ubuntu installed under Windows to existing ext3 partition ? [13:10] funkyhat so it cant be done? [13:11] are there ubuntu packages for newer nvidia drivers that are compatible with intrepid? [13:11] snadge, if you use the versions in the repos. tjhey should update/work when kernel changes happen [13:11] Hi [13:11] snadge: run lspci | grep -i vga [13:11] snadge, those wont however be the 'latestest versions' [13:11] How can I find out the speed and model of my processor in Ubuntu? [13:11] snadge: and paste the output here [13:11] Dr_willis: problem is.. theres a bugfix in latest versions that i want [13:11] or with wubi can be ubuntu installed under Windows to existing ext3 partition ? [13:12] sky_: its hugely messy [13:12] snadge, then you will have to watchout for kernel upgrades [13:12] ActionParsnip: G70 [GeForce 7600 GT] [13:12] sky_, wubi installs to a file on the windows drive.. not a ext3 partition [13:12] hi how can i specify the passwor when using gksu ??? [13:12] ActionParsnip, So how would he be able to enable vesa support on Ubuntu during the installation process? [13:13] Fiftyone: it must start with a lower case letter [13:13] snadge: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-177 [13:13] he my friend want find way how to reinstall ubuntu because his CD ROM doesnt work [13:13] Cyntek: its default to use vesa, you can add boot options to change res [13:13] Fiftyone: after that you can have lower and upper case letters, digits and _ or - [13:13] ActionParsnip: im actually after either 180 or 173.14.16 beta [13:13] Hi... does anyone know if there are alternative drivers to iwl3945 to work round the WPA-Enterprise bug and the kill-switch bug (which is marked as wont-fix on launchpad)?

[13:14] snadge: not sure i dont look that deep. I just look at what is said to work [13:14] how do i tell which glx i have installed currently? [13:14] g4lv4tr0n: a lil graphical window will popup for you to tpe your password in [13:15] snadge: dpkg -l | grep nvidia [13:15] ok im already running 177.. there appears to be a 180 in intrepid.. not sure if it will work *shrugs* [13:16] hi people :) [13:16] snadge: could try it, yu can always revert back [13:17] snadge: you will need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfig [13:17] snadge: after installing [13:17] snadge: then gksudo nvidia-settings to set resolution [13:17] this is not a particular linux question, but... someone here recommend using a netbook (acer one, especifically) to web development and c++ dev ? [13:18] Are there any text editors for ubuntu like notepad++ that support calltips for PHP? === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [13:19] frambler, you could certain give it a try. I don't use my AA1 for web development in particular, but I've written applications on it just fine. [13:19] Flynsarmy: i think gedit can [13:19] kate? gedit? [13:20] Flynsarmy: i think it reads the type of text and starts highlighting once saved [13:20] im trying to find out if i get the alternative ppc version on ubuntu 8.10 is their an installation tutorial [13:20] ibuclaw: desktop applications? I'm asking because I haven't bought one yet. I'll just buy if it fits my needs. [13:20] big_ghost: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation [13:21] hey all [13:21] whats the command to set your wireless card into monitoring mode? [13:21] ActionParsnip, I actually discovered gedit can do /anything/ yesterday. Found a plugin called "External Tools". It allows you to run any shell commands on the text file... that's almost as good as vim :) [13:21] ActionParsnip, how do you get calltips in gedit? [13:21] hello all! [13:21] ibuclaw: i just use yakuake, dos the lot [13:21] Flynsarmy: i dont even know what calltips are [13:22] Flynsarmy: maybe someone else can advise [13:22] I like the 'geany' text editor. :) [13:22] I´m trying to run xdebug on LAMP (ubuntu), but connecting from a Windows box... The xdebug plugin is working fine, but netbeans won´t see it... any clues as to why?? [13:22] vim? [13:22] ActionParsnip, intellitext. function argument tooltips as you type ( to open a function bracket [13:23] frambler, yes, I've written desktop applications on it. It is no different to any other version of Linux. You just need to install it via the "hidden" package manager: pirut [13:23] frambler, the applications required for compiling/building, that is [13:23] Anyone? [13:23] Flynsarmy: oh yea like in visual environments for coding [13:23] A few days ago, I was downloading a game on to my second hard drive. Half-way through, I got a balloon popup in the corner, telling me the drive had become read-only, I imagine because of having 'limited space', although there was 22gb left. Doing fdisk -l tells me that /dev/sda and /dev/sdb cannot be opened, even though both are not SCSI drives. Any suggestions? [13:24] ActionParsnip, yep [13:24] Does anyone know of something like Adobe Flash CS3 that's available for Linux/Ebuntu? [13:24] Flynsarmy: i dont know of any editor but i know what you mean [13:24] does nobody know? [13:24] malodix, ide drives are seen as 'scsi' drives normally these days.. check the mount command.. many times if a drive has 'errors' it gets forced to remount read only [13:24] swamptin: its a proprietary POS from adobe so only adobe make the dev kits like that [13:25] frambler, and even if the Linpus desktop look isn't your thing. You can install Ubuntu on it just fine. I use this: http://www.geteasypeasy.com/ [13:25] I thought that said geteasypussy :< [13:25] Dr_willis: mount shows no mount points on my second drive, but also, the second drive can not be recognised by gparted. [13:25] ActionParsnip: I was more thinking along the same lines, like gimp doing flash or something, get me? Not CS3 for linux :) [13:26] Im using eeebuntu on my Aceraspire one. - the relation ship between eeebuntu and easypeasy is confusing. :) i wonder if the 2 projects are merging.. [13:26] malodix, thats not a good sign if gparted cant see it.. 'sudo fdisk -l ' should show it also [13:26] kavity, haha. All you need is to get out more, get acquainted with old friends and raise your self esteem :) [13:26] Dr_willis, I would hope not. EasyPeasy didn't run well on my Eee [13:26] Marfi, theres so many netbook-variants.. i cant get them all straight. :) [13:27] Dr_willis, hehe, I know. I would install Ubuntu onto the Eee, and use the array.org repositories for the custom kernel [13:27] Marfi, shame. It works just fine on my Acer (not that I want to brag about that :) [13:27] Marfi, im using the Aceraspireone Puppuy Linux Variant at the moment on mine [13:27] hi all .. exist a way, howto list packages sorted by install time .. like `rpm -qa --last` in rpm based systems? [13:27] ibuclaw, When I installed it, the "install" Ubuntu icon was still there [13:27] Im very happy with my AcerAspireOne.. i just wish it had svideo out.. [13:28] nettezzaumana: Seeing as Ubuntu is not an rpm based system, try asking in the channel for the distro that you are using, [13:28] Dr_willis, Puppy is one of the best for netbooks I have heard [13:28] Dr_willis: fdisk -l also shows only the first drive. I'd hate to lose my second drive. Before all this happened though, my partitions on my first drive were hda1, hda2, etc. They're now sda1, sda2. [13:28] does anybody know how to use "vi editor" [13:28] :q! [13:28] malodix, depending on the disrto and kernel an dother stuff.. ide drives now show up as scsi. somthing to watch out for. [13:28] Pici: omg. reread my question please .. it relates to ubuntu .. surely [13:28] Dr_willis: Marfi: puppy is awesome [13:29] nettezzaumana: Ah. I misunderstood, sorry. [13:29] blufade, open a terminal and type in: vimtutor [13:29] Pici: np. urw [13:29] blufade, vi is very very very well doucmented at dozens of sites.. there is the 'vimtutor' program thats a must work thriough also. :) [13:29] blufade, I prefer nano, but thats just me [13:29] anyone using openldap in intrepid? [13:29] Marfi: yeah i'm a nano guy too [13:29] !ldap | cliebow [13:29] cliebow: LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. For more information, installation instructions and getting clients to authenticate via LDAP see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer [13:29] Dr_willis: I'm still using a 1.24 kernel, I think. I haven't updated the kernel in some time. But it appears that since my second drive became read only, they've magically become scsi drives. :/ [13:29] would someone tell me, if dpkg/apt* can print list of packages (like dpkg -l) but sorted by install time? [13:30] i am sorry. i have no ubuntu or debian system here [13:30] that's why i am asking [13:30] malodix, i doubt if thats correct.. - the ide drives have been showing uip for me as scsi drives for the last 2 releases I think. [13:31] malodix, i have ntoiced that on some of my old box's they still show as hd## - must be some driver/kernel thing on those old machines. [13:31] nettezzaumana: After a quick look, I don't see an option for that on the dpkg manpage, but you could always look through /var/log/dpkg.log [13:31] malodix, as a test.. get a live cd/ and see if you can access the drives from there.. You may want to 'fsck' the filesystems while you are at it. [13:31] guys, i have a problem, pro engineer uses vi editor by default.....in windiws it uses notpad for the same function.....so is there anyway i can change this to gedit or some other text editor instead of vi [13:31] blufade: what is "pro engineer"? [13:31] I use vi in windows. :) [13:32] Pici: ah .. ok .. good pointment .. thanks [13:32] jrib, CAD/CAM s/w === vincent is now known as Guest25660 [13:32] nettezzaumana: not that i can see [13:32] nettezzaumana: You can look through those commands manpages yourself at http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ if you want too. [13:32] vi Vs. Notepad.exe thats like going from a Jeep to a pogostick. :) [13:32] Dr_willis: Yeah, I'll give that a go. I'm stuck as to where to go next. Thanks for you help. :) [13:32] malodix, Dr_willis you can also ls /dev/sd* or ls /dev/hd* to see if its even being seen in there. You may have forgotten to plug in the power. That's comming from someone who has done that. ;) [13:32] Pici: yes i can .. or betterly :: i should [13:32] if i install ubuntu and i want to eventually go back to osx can i ? [13:33] big_ghost, err.. its your machine.. you can format it all you want.. of course. === veganet is now known as agoeng_C3k4p [13:33] hi everybody [13:33] big_ghost, its not like Linux some how glues your pc down. [13:33] thank you [13:33] Marfi: The drive is definitely there. Bios detects it and I can even run 'badblocks' on it. It's just that gparted, fdisk and the like can't detect it. [13:34] can someone help me install my audio hardware on ubuntu? i have reatlek [13:34] malodix, what type of drive is it? IDE, SATA? [13:34] malodix, thats very very very very weird.. YOU did run 'sudo fdisk -l' and not 'fdisk -l' ? [13:34] is there a way to disable vi editor and force programs to use normal text editor [13:34] vi's not normal? [13:34] blufade, some would call vi a normal text editor. :) [13:34] blufade: Is 'pro engineer' in the Ubuntu package repositories? [13:34] vi(m) > * [13:34] Dr_willis: Yup. sudo fdisk -l shows all partitions on my first drive perfectly, but there's no sign of the second drive.

Does there need to be at least one partition before gParted will recognise the drive? I would have though that would have been a bit odd. [13:40] malodix, no, it should see it. Try a reboot, and see if that gets it [13:40] can anyone help me in configuring a network printer of type KONICA MINOLTA 7222 df-320 ?

Runs good, imo. Ubuntu should support it, and if you get a video card, GO NVIDIA! [14:10] vegombrei, often with linux - its not idea to get 'the latest and greatest hardware' the stuff thats been out for some time will most likely have better support.

NTFS-config does not see the hard drive [14:10] Marfi: thanks alot. so if i use hfs non journaled it should all be fine? [14:11] Marfi: i was actually thinking of the new radeon. you sure NVIDIA is the way to go for ubuntu? [14:11] freegoo, It should be fine...but I would hiiiighly recommend not to.

[14:29] Dimensions: in your DocumentRoot, there is no index file (e.g. index.html or index.php), so if you just type http:// it returns that error [14:30] ibuclaw: it's a custom backup cron i wrote [14:30] Dimensions: do you have a subdir in /var/www ? Some application [14:30] but at the end of running it makes you press enter to quit [14:30] lolwtfmynickismy, if you are using ATi, you should use the restricted drivers. for gnome it is in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers [14:30] nothing appears in the box [14:30] moOse, you could try 'echo yourpassword | yourscript' [14:31] Silverwing, I don't think its a password issue :s [14:31] oCean_: i have just an index file in /var/www and there is a folder with another test index.html too [14:31] ibuclaw, thought it was.. :p never mind [14:31] :þ [14:31] mo0se, can you post the script into a pastebin for analysis? [14:32] lolwtfmynickismy, open a terminal and type lspci | grep vga and let me know what you get [14:32] i think i got it actually... just echoed the keypress for enter hah [14:32] Dimensions: and http:///index.html (explicitly) also returns the same error? [14:32] yes oCean_ [14:32] Dimensions: see what /var/log/apach2/error_log says [14:32] same error with that too [14:32] I'm just curious what command you are using that is asking to press enter.... [14:32] ibuclaw: my last problem is i'm writing success to a log file, echo overwrites everything, is there a way to append it to the end of the doc? [14:33] ibuclaw: the last command is... [14:33] tar [14:33] lolwtfmynickismy, VGA might need to be in all caps [14:33] packing a directory [14:33] oCean_: [Thu Feb 19 14:28:20 2009] [error] [client *IP*] File does not exist: /htdocs [14:33] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 9442 [14:33] mo0se: echo 'foo' >> bar will append to the end of bar [14:33] Dimensions: it seems that your DocRoot is not correctly configured [14:34] mo0se, on your "echo overwrites everything" use: echo "Success" >> /var/log/file.log [14:34] Dimensions: go check the settings in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled [14:34] I need some help with an NTFS hard drive that I use between my windows and Ubuntu. Ubuntu doesn't like to mount it after I have had it plugged into windows and I need to type the mount command manually. anyway to fix this? [14:34] lolwtfmynickismy, thats not good. what kind of card is it? [14:34] Dimensions: apache expects the root to be at /htdocs, not /var/www [14:35] oCean_: restarting apache2 gives this warning too "[warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts" and ... waiting apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for localhost.localdomai [14:35] kind?? radeon HD 4850 thats as much as i know [14:35] oCean_, the default is /var/www [14:35] KDB9000: not in Demensions case, see his error [14:36] Dimensions: well it seems the apache config is a little off... [14:36] oCean_: site-enable folder is empty [14:36] On a fresh 8.10 install, my wireless (pci card, not a laptop) card was detected and it shows my wireless network. However, whenever i connect to the network the system crashes. Cant even ctrl+alt+F2 to cli. Any ideas? [14:36] oCean_, but did he change it to that? I know in all the ubuntu servers i set up with apache2 it is always been defaulted to /var/www [14:37] Dimensions: localhost.localdomain? surely it's subdomain.localhost? [14:37] Dimensions: see in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ if there is a file called "default" [14:37] i just installed kubuntu 5.04 is hter any way i can update to 8.10 alternative installlation disk ppc [14:37] hi. I want to install ubuntu 8.10 onto a usb stick. The HD is broken, the laptop can boot from USB. Any special details to think about? Any tutorials (not from usb but to usb) [14:37] big_ghost: no. [14:37] oCean_ that file is in site-enabled [14:38] so what would i have to do to update to 8.10 ? [14:38] ppc version [14:38] pumpkin, Is your usb-stick large enough? I guess that's all you have to think about :D [14:38] KDB9000: that default the ISP guys have given me ... [14:38] lolwtfmynickismy, I am not sure why it is seeing it as unknown, there could be a problem with the card. do you have the power hooked up to it and is your power supply able to handle it? [14:38] Dimensions: site-enabled folder was *empty* you said. site-available has default file? [14:38] is there any simple app that sends an email if a selected HDD fails ? [14:38] big_ghost: sudo update-manager -d [14:38] story so far... relatively old motherboard that ive dug out. cant use a full 4 memory slots or no post just a blank screen when i turn on. my memory is fine however. I also had a few graphical issues that ive tried to fix. Now when it try and boot to windows i blue screen just after the windows loading screen. Would i be right in suspecting a motherboard issue? [14:38] Silverwing, 16GB ... i need a desktop and a java install. [14:38] e3co: did you see what he's on now? [14:38] ok thanks [14:39] sorry I didn't [14:39] hi guys [14:39] pumpkin, that should go fine. You could even do a full installation on a 16GB stick. [14:39] can i get help from here? [14:39] big_ghost: what are you using for an os? [14:39] or i have to go other place? [14:39] yes oCean_ thats correct that default file is in site-available ... while site-enabled folder is empty [14:39] lolwtfmynickismy, when you tested the memory, did you test out all the slots? [14:39] KDB9000: yes it does have the power supply input plugged in... and yes i have a modular 620w PSU [14:39] Silverwing, does the bootloader install fine on usb ? [14:39] Dimensions: if the site-enabled folder is empty enable, the "default" virtual host by using command "/usr/sbin/a2ensite default" [14:40] i have some problem with sata dvdrom [14:40] tested the memory modules themselves... used them all individually and in each slot [14:40] my laptop is full sata [14:40] pumpkin, You have to select your usb stick in the last screen of the installation, at the 'advanced' button [14:40] I have a USB to Serial converter, and it's discovered by lsusb .. Bus 006 Device 005: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC . How can I telnet to the device I connect ? [14:40] Dimensions: that will make a symlink from the default file in sites-available to a 000-default in sites-enabled. [14:40] for bootloader [14:40] bye guys [14:40] hello all. have some problem with login via GDM . xserver simply restarted. can anybody give some advice? [14:41] On a fresh 8.10 install, my wireless (pci card, linksys WMP110 RangePlus) card was detected and it shows my wireless network. However, whenever i try connect to the network the system crashes. Cant even ctrl+alt+F2 to cli. The network is WPA encrypted. Any ideas what could be going on? [14:41] Dimensions: from the main apache2.conf this site-enabled directory is included in the config. So if the link exists, edit the default file to suit your needs, like editing the DocumentRoot [14:41] pumpkin, you could also try the create usb startup disk utility (system -> administration) [14:41] Thank you oCean_ ... its working now ... [14:41] Dimensions: yay! :) [14:41] heheheh... [14:41] KDB9000: i might also add than an old vid card that works fine also doesnt work in this PC... refuses to post also... [14:41] lolwtfmynickismy: each RAM stick alone allows the machine to boot, but with 4 it dies? [14:41] yep [14:42] Silverwing, will try the simple version first, the second alternative later. Thanks. [14:42] :) oCean_ is the warning i receive while reloading / restarting apache of any concern ? [14:42] z1pp3r: sounds like a real "kernel panic" aka "bsod of linux". do the leds of the keyboard flash when the crash occurs? [14:42] lolwtfmynickismy: probably mixed MHz frequencies. [14:42] pumpkin, the second is easier :p good luck [14:42] lolwtfmynickismy: 2 100 and 2 133 or something.

[14:43] z1pp3r: /var/log/messages [14:43] cheers [14:44] Dimensions: well, the thing about no virtualhosts should be gone by now. As far as the other one concerns, I'd like to setup my webserver to know the hosts ServerName, and add that ip to the /etc/hosts file, that way apache know what it's talking about... or who :-) [14:44] mneptok: all rams sticks are geil 1GB PC2-6400 sticks.... same MHz [14:44] lolwtfmynickismy: total capacity?

[14:49] I dont wanna mesh with the drivers [14:50] piet44, I'm not 100% sure how aptitude handles updates, but running `sudo apt-get update` would probably make your GUI alert you to possible updates, and I'm fairly sure you can choose what update to install using that.

[14:58] sipior, letalis, what I posted was what ubuntu told me to put in (aside from using the UUID, i did that). yes, I need the force option. When i unplug it from my windows system and then into my ubuntu system it acts like it is still in use and will not mount it unless i type in the mount command with -f (force).

[15:01] sipior, got a different error that time [15:01] I mean what to write in the "Program Parameter" dialog in Anjuta in order to run a C program. [15:01] or how can I configure/change the liveCD to meet my needs so then I can install the same customized ubuntu in another pc? [15:01] KDB9000: you're not going to make me guess what it is, are you? [15:02] sipior, hold on [15:03] berriop, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [15:04] erUSUL: Hmm, i wasn't really able to find anything in the logs that could explain why my system crashes. I did find this in the 'messages' log though: "kernel: [ 0.400252] mtrr: your CPUs had inconsistent fixed MTRR settings" [15:04] sipior, Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3g with integrated FUSE support and make it setuid root. Please see more information at http://nfts-3g/support.html#unprivileged [15:04] but there should be a method to take your hard drive image as well [15:04] z1pp3r: may be a harmless warning... [15:05] z1pp3r: some crashess do not leave any trace... [15:05] KDB9000: well, they've given you a clear way forward, at least. is the information following the link at all useful?

Considering setting up an encrypted filesystem there for it to use [15:06] erUSUL, Hmm, makes it pretty hard to debug =/ [15:07] oh, i guess i didnt really need to worry about my earlier query.. safe-upgrade returned same proposition as full-upgrade [15:07] does anybody know how to edit startup order in 8.10? there was such an option in session-properties in previous versions, I remember, but it seems to be gone... [15:08] isn't startup order handled in .bashrc ? [15:08] hey guys quick question for ya [15:08] Beginner Question: I've downloaded the Ubuntu Server ISO, but how do I create a bootable CD for the installation? Do I just unzip the contents onto the CD? [15:09] odder, you should be a bit more specific so the chan knows which startup you mean -- system startup scripts, or scripts that run after your window manager (e.g. gnome) loads [15:09] I have to do mount /dev/sdb1 /backup and mount /dev/sdc1 /stuff manually [15:09] what's it take to get dual monitor (laptop display + external monitor) going in ubuntu? (Dell D620 with dock and external monitor) [15:09] odder -> startup order as in what listed in /etc/init.d/S* ? [15:09] DizzyDoo: you need to burn the iso to disk [15:09] thats in fstab auto mount [15:09] you have cd burning software i assume, DizzyDoo? [15:09] how do I add them to /etc/fstab ... I can't figure out /etc/fstab [15:09] I ran this command - growisofs -Z /dev/scd0 -speed=1 -iso-level 4 -r /var/dar/home.1.dar and got his error - /dev/scd0: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: A - I'm using distro 8.04. can someone tell me what this error is? I have burn ubuntu iso files with this burner. [15:09] jamiejackson: That's what I've tried, with Nero on XP, but I get a boot disk error [15:10] sipior, doesn't really look like it will help me that much. after i do the mount command for it, it will mount automatically afterwards, it is just after i have it plugged into my windows system. [15:10] So in my quest for apache2 with PHP and mySQL, I happened to use tasksel... and it deleted most of my system :/ (Trying to say that the guide to get a LAMP server was... vague to say the least). However, could I simply reinstall all the packages or did it change more than just my installed packages? I know it messed with my interfaces file, but that's to be expected I guess [15:10] did you burn as iso DizzyDoo? it's not the same as creating a data cd [15:10] ice_cream: I mean startup order after you login in into gnome [15:10] jamiejackson: I did select data CD, should I of selected Bootable Disk? [15:10] On a fresh Ubuntu 8.10 install, the system crashes whenever i try to connect to my WPA encrypted wireless network using a Linksys WMP110 RangePlus PCI card. Any ideas what could be wrong? [15:10] DizzyDoo: You should probably burn a CD from the image file. Get a burning software which can do so. [15:11] odder -> sorry ..startup order as in what listed in /etc/rcS.d/* [15:11] tiredbones: is there in fact a recordable dvd in the drive? the error seems pretty clear. you've used this exact command before successfully? [15:11] you need to burn the cd from an image, i'm sure ther'es an option in nero, DizzyDoo [15:11] like "create cd from image" or something, DizzyDoo [15:11] jamiejackson: Thanks, I'll check for that [15:11] k [15:12] thaanks ice?cram [15:12] np [15:12] sipior, no I have not use this command before. I use sony cd +rw disk. my drive is suppose to write on all media. [15:12] odder, not running gnome atm, but according to an ubuntu forum post System-->Preferences-->Sessions perhaps? [15:13] z1pp3r: one option you have is to install linux-backports-modules maybe the backported module (driver for the wifi) does not crash the machine [15:13] Myrtti, I wrote wget --http-user=user --http-password=password http://rapidshare.com/files/41385086/file.name.here but all I got was a HTML file. any ideas? [15:13] ice_cream: as I wrote before, it was available before 8.10, but not now [15:13] z1pp3r: other option is to try out other kernel versions (older or newer from proposed) [15:13] and I remember using it even in 7.04 [15:13] ok, maybe someone else here knows [15:13] hello [15:13] i have a freind trying to connect to my pc thru ftp .. he's using cute ftp for windows what address should he connect to ? my ip ? [15:14] are there any open source logo designers out there? [15:14] can someone tell me, can I run pear commands from a ubuntu console? [15:14] how do i check if my ftp is running ? [15:14] vegombrei, your IP and port 21 [15:14] Kartargis, rapidhshare probably checks useragent and referrer url to make sure you dont bypass their web interface [15:14] tiredbones: could you verify that your userid is a member of the "cdrom" group? [15:14] erUSUL: okay.... i'll try that [15:14] thanks [15:14] because they want you to buy their premium service [15:14] i.e SSH [15:14] can anyone tell me how to configure amavis+clamav to send a notification-mail to an email-recipient who got a virus-infected mail? [15:14] sipior, sure. [15:14] Kartagis, if you put that url in your browser - you get a HTML page, so you expect wget to get the same [15:14] odder: System>Preferences>Sessions should still exist. If for some reason you don't see it, it may be hidden from your menu. run alacarte (or right click on the menu and select edit-menu) and see if it is unchecked. [15:14] Kartagis: he says its not signing in [15:15] vegombrei, /etc/init.d/vsftpd status [15:15] vegombrei, Are you behind a NAT:ed router? Firewall? [15:15] Kartagis: how do i check if my ftp is on ? [15:15] sipior, give me a second. [15:15] i'm using Ubuntu Desktop version, i want to test something on computer using my laptop. i added the my ip to my laptop's host file, but it is not returning anything [15:15] can someone help? [15:15] Pici: gosh, I would have tried that before asking on IRC. No such option available === randoms|away is now known as randoms [15:17] unop, you know of any other downloaders which support username and password like flashget? [15:17] How do I fix Image Viewer to open pics (jpg, png) in file browser? [15:17] odder: How about running gnome-session-properties manually? [15:17] can someone tell me if I can run pear commands from a ubuntu console? [15:18] sipior, my sign on is a member of cdrom. [15:18] alvin_3: you'll need to describe your network arrangement a bit, and exactly what you were trying to test on your laptop, and what you expected to be returned. [15:18] Can anyone tell me what to write in the "Program Parameter" dialog in Anjuta in order to run a C program? [15:19] odder: If that doesnt exist, make sure that you have the gnome-session package installed, but I'd highly doubt you'd have a functioning gnome without it (although I havent fully checked its contents) [15:19] Kartagis, well, none of the conventional ones will work with rapidshare - you'll need something specially written for it [15:19] sipior, my sign on is a member of cdrom. Here's the entry - cdrom:x:24:wayne [15:19] tiredbones: wait, did you say you were using a *CD* +RW disk? [15:20] sipior, yes [15:20] Pici: yes, I'm alt+f2 running it, not through the menu [15:20] sipior: i have a php site running on my ubuntu desktop computer locally, but i want to test IE6/7 issues on my pc laptop, how can i make my pc laptop access to my ubuntu site? i added /host file on my window to point to ubuntu ip, doesnt work [15:20] tiredbones: clearly the drive is expecting a writable dvd disk, yes? [15:20] unop, flashget works (I run it on wine) but it sometimes gives me trouble [15:21] unop, mostly CRC failures in files I download [15:21] sipior, I always used cd+rw, are you saying I now have to use dvd disk. [15:22] tiredbones: you've always used cds with growisofs? [15:22] burkmat: yes a wifi router but my pc is wired in [15:22] hello. i need to enable modrewrite on apache but i dont have the command a2enmod rewrite is there another way to go about it? apache2 -l doesn't display the modulo either [15:23] vegombrei, Look into port forwarding. [15:23] what is the command to end compiz? like kwin --replace in kde? [15:23] hi all. when i run command 'apt -get' i get message that 'bash: apt: command not found' [15:23] sipior, not with this command. I'm trying to backup my system using command line tool for the purpose. [15:23] whats wrong? [15:23] burkmat: port forwarding ?? [15:23] KazaLite: its apt-get [15:23] vegombrei, Yes. [15:23] KazaLite: without the space [15:23] errr...am idiot [15:24] burkmat: what are good ftp software for ubuntu ? [15:24] deveras: in /etc/apache2/mods-available I do have rewrite [15:24] sipior, I'm tired of trying to get various gui tool for this purpose. [15:24] vegombrei, Off the top off my head I'd recommend proftpd. [15:24] deveras: it comes with apache2.2-common [15:24] vegombrei: I used to like gftp, for example [15:24] burkmat: could you name some more .. i installed one a few days ago but forgot what it was called [15:25] what is the command to end compiz? like kwin --replace in kde? i didnt use gnome a lot [15:25] tiredbones: yeah, the growisofs manpage does not mention CD support, and i'm fairly certain the program will fail on them. but if you're backing up a system, surely DVDs are the better choice anyhow? (well, best would be to copy your data to two removable hard drives) [15:25] burkmat: thing is i donno if its running and how to check .. it worked when i first installed it [15:25] vegombrei, None of them are going to work unless you set up port forwarding... Did you look into it or are you just ignoring that advice? ;) [15:25] burkmat: googled it but really confused as im a noob [15:26] Pici: any other ideas how to manage that startup order? [15:26] oCean i created the symbolic link in mods-enable to that mods-available and restared apache, but i still doesnt show up in apache2 -l and the rewrite rules arent working [15:26] vegombrei, Basically, access your router and forward an external port to an internal one. [15:26] sipior, I guess I'll go to staples and buy some dvd +rw. [15:26] sipior, the website didn't help me any. When I run the mount command in the terminal for my hard drive, I get this $LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 1) then on the next line WARNING: Forced mount, reset $LogFile. [15:27] burkmat: can i do that by connecting to the router thru my browser ? [15:27] how do i install the command a2enmod [15:27] sipior, thanks for your help. [15:27] vegombrei, Yes. [15:27] tiredbones: depending on the amount you have to back up, please consider getting two removable hard drives. less money per gigabyte, easier to manage. [15:27] i've gcc installed but it fails to find standard C include files e.g. stdio.h .... how to fix it?:'( [15:28] I'm in live session. how can i low level format my HDD ? [15:28] burkmat: would you like to walk me thru it ? [15:28] KDB9000: well that's a bizarre error. what's the precise mount command that you're running? [15:28] deveras: apache2 -l lists only the build-ins /compiled-ins i guess. The rewrite rules not working... any clues in error_log, or in browser? [15:28] !ath [15:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about ath [15:28] I'm in live session. how can i low level format my HDD ? [15:29] vegombrei, No I would not. :P But check out http://portforward.com/ [15:29] NarbeH, fdisk [15:29] Titan8990: thq :) [15:29] oCean_ not really basicly the error log claims the file doesn't exist (cause it doesnt do the redirect) [15:29] the rewrite i mean [15:29] i have a monitor connected to my graphiccadr via vga-->dvi adapter, card only has to dvi slpts, but the vga-monitor is not found [15:29] NarbeH: are u from Iran? [15:30] sipior, it mounts it, but i am just saying the command. command is sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/FreeAgent -o force and then it displays the 2 things i told you and i can see the hard drive on my desktop, but i don't want to type the command in everytime i want to use my external [15:30] presshre: yes. why? [15:30] when i go from hibernation to wakeup mode, the system (ath5) wants to reset "noise level" on three diffrent channels, why? [15:30] ello, sorry for the lame question but I have a doubt: having a Mobile DualCore Intel Core 2 Duo 1800 MHz which arch shall I choose? ia64 isn't it? [15:30] NarbeH: just a question ;) [15:30] presshre: don't think bad things about me :) [15:30] NarbeH: nevermind [15:30] :) [15:31] jako: how much ram ya got? [15:31] burkmat: my netgear router isnt on that list [15:31] vegombrei, I doubt it. What router is it? [15:32] burkmat: NETGEAR WNR854T [15:32] KDB9000: btw, is your login a member of the fuse group? (type "groups" to check) [15:33] Hello all, I've been having trouble with the EXT2 IFS on Windows. If you don't know what that is, the site is fs-driver.org. Anyways, when I try to mount a drive, it breaks my computer, trying to mount swap as C:. The diagnosis tool said something about me using something with 256 when I should have used 128, and said I'd have to redo my installation. I forget this error message, and can't re-create it without possibly b [15:33] Titan8990: sorry i can't find the command... what is it? [15:33] vegombrei, Alright, well, take a look at some of the other Netgear guides (another WNR perhaps?), and see if they help you out? Quite easy to draw parallels. [15:33] sipior, yes [15:33] KDB9000: actually, check for groups disk and plugdev as well [15:33] NarbeH, sudo fdisk /dev/sdxx [15:34] Titan8990: is it low level format? [15:34] sipior, how? [15:34] KDB9000: same command... [15:34] NarbeH, depends on your definition of a low level format [15:34] burkmat: already on it [15:34] sipior: any idea how can i do thath? [15:34] NarbeH, by wikipedia's definition it is [15:34] I have KONICA Minolta 7222 network printer, I am using the PPD file provided by windows driver by instead of ubuntu page i got 31 page rabbish !? ANy help ? [15:34] omnydevi1 2GB [15:34] Titan8990: got ir [15:34] Titan8990: it* [15:34] alvin_3: sorry, do what again? [15:34] NarbeH, if you were looking to say, shred the data, you either want DBAN or use dd [15:34] sipior, ah, was confused for a second. plugdev yes, disk no [15:35] NarbeH, or even possible shred [15:35] Titan8990: aha dd. [15:35] NarbeH, to write zeros: sudo dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024k of=/dev/sdx [15:35] can I send emails with default of 8.1 ? [15:36] Titan8990: u know what? my HDD has got lots of badsectors ,,, [15:36] aboSamoor, am sorry you can't use ppd file for windows in linux, just use the other options [15:36] i am trying to install ubuntu 8.10 on a ibook g3 and it says that the cd-rom drive cannot be mounted and ask to have a floppy with the cd-rom driver on it to load is there such a driver [15:36] NarbeH, already ran fsck? [15:36] Titan8990: no [15:37] anyone who knows how to connect evolution to a gmail account such that you can send and receive e-mails? [15:37] Matic: I did not get it. I can not find a linux driver for the printer. so I was advised in this channel to get the PPD file provided by the manufacturer ! [15:37] Matic, same way you would with any other MUA [15:37] Hi everybody [15:37] Matic, just view the gmail documentation [15:37] Matic, there is nothing gmail specific, but setting it up using a different guide shouldn't be difficult [15:37] hey [15:37] Matic, err, mean evolution specifci [15:38] Titan8990, thanks yes I mean that [15:38] how can i mount a partition? [15:38] alex_goanta_2012, Using the `mount` command. [15:38] deveras: it's "apache2ctl -M" to list all loaded modules (static and shared). Use "apache2ctl -M 2>/tmp/modules.txt" to create a file containing modulelist. See if rewrite is loaded indeed [15:38] more details [15:39] alvin_3: i found your previous post: have you verified that you can ping your desktop from your laptop? are these on the same network? [15:39] alex_goanta_2012, try mount -a [15:40] it says:mount: only root can do that [15:40] alex@alex-desktop:~$ [15:41] alex_goanta_2012, type sudo su and then give the password then type the command [15:41] Titan8990: sorry. what is this command do? sudo dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024k of=/dev/sda [15:41] alex_goanta_2012: to use mount command, use "sudo" to start command (so command is executed as root) However, the mount -a command will *only* work if the new partition (filesystem) you want to mount is specified in /etc/fstab file [15:42] NarbeH, it writes all zeros to the disk [15:42] Titan8990: aha [15:42] Titan8990: how long does it takes? [15:42] alex_goanta_2012: If you just added a disk and want a new partition to be mounted, you'll have to add a line to /etc/fstab file [15:42] NarbeH, when I did it last week it did about 50-60mb/s [15:43] NarbeH, with my 500gb sata drives [15:43] Matic: Any idea ? [15:43] NarbeH, so about as fast as the rw speed of your drive [15:43] aboSamoor, about? [15:43] Titan8990: aha . my HDD now is Deleted. [15:43] VFS/samba-vscan-0.3.6b/include/vscan-config.h:77:1: warning: "PACKAGE_BUGREPORT" redefined [15:43] Titan8990: nothing in it. [15:44] Matic: how can I configure the Network printer [15:44] does anyone know what the letters in the "S" column in htop mean? [15:44] NarbeH, you can still write 0s to it, if you are worried about someone trying to look at it with a electron microscope [15:45] Titan8990: no not about privacy. my problem is badsectors ... [15:45] I installed smartd and asked it to send test email. tail /var/log/syslog says it sent the test email but I've received no such mail in my inbox nor in my junk mail, what am I missing ? do I have to setup smtp/pop for outgoing emails ? [15:45] i installed ubuntu 8.10 pp version (alternative instillation disk) the instillation get to cd-rom detection anf fails is ther a fix for this ? [15:45] NarbeH, then the fdisk format should be fine, as long as the disc is not actually failing or dieing [15:45] Titan8990: so can i cancel the sudo dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024k of=/dev/sda ? [15:45] NarbeH, yes [15:46] aboSamoor, check with the manufacturers website whether they offer the drivers for linux, some like Hp do but I must tell you it is not easy to get it working especially if it's not a Hp printer but I don't mean that it is impossible, just check out that man first [15:46] Titan8990: ok i have to run this? sudo fdisk /dev/sda [15:46] !cups | aboSamoor [15:46] aboSamoor: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [15:46] Hello all, how do I set the inode size of an Ubuntu installation to 128? [15:46] NarbeH, if you have not already, make sure that the drive you are formatting is sda.... [15:47] NarbeH, in the interactive fdisk prompt, you can hit "m" for help [15:47] when windows will be free it will be as difficult to use as linux? [15:47] anyone know a way to preseed `apt-get install mysql-server` with a hash of the root password so that it doesn't have to ask for it? [15:48] Titan8990: i saw. [15:48] alex_goanta_2012: pebkac [15:48] alex_goanta_2012, when windows will be free, pigs will fly [15:48] but that's ot [15:48] InfectedWithDrew: construct an appropriate filesystem with mke2fs, and then install ubuntu into it. i don't believe you can alter the value after the fact. [15:48] windows 7 will be free [15:48] NarbeH, just make your partitions and: mke2fs -j /dev/sdxx [15:48] my friend [15:48] alex_goanta_2012, Yea.. sure.. i dont see that happening. [15:48] Titan8990: ook :) thq alot [15:48] NarbeH, to format in ext3 or: mkswap to make swap [15:48] sipior, I am aware of this. How does mke2fs work? [15:48] NarbeH, np [15:48] hi [15:49] Titan8990: can i do it with gparted? [15:49] afaik windows 7 beta is temporarily free === chaky_ is now known as chaky [15:49] alex_goanta_2012, if you haven't liked linux, then you haven't discovered it yet, please try [15:49] NarbeH, if you want to do it the newb way, sure [15:49] hi adam [15:49] sipior, is there an option in GParted? This thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-979523.html alludes to it [15:49] InfectedWithDrew: btw, when you do the install, be sure to inform ubuntu not to overwrite the empty filesystem you just created ;-) [15:49] Titan8990: so after making partition? [15:50] ok, I'll rephrase this, can an app send an outgoing mail with only default parameters on ubuntu 8.1? [15:50] * Andelkrag dice hola. :P [15:50] i need to change my bash properties in my remastered live cd [15:50] trust, i want to ,but i just can`t mount that stupid partition [15:50] NarbeH, yes, but I think that gparted can make the partitions as well, if that is your choice [15:50] Titan8990: aha [15:50] can someone tell me the sudo apt install "package name" of the command line version of php so I can run pear commands from the console? [15:50] alex_goanta_2012, learn to use the mount command, and the command line, and then you will be able to trouble shoot the problem, (whatever the problem is, i havent been paying attation) [15:51] Kingsy101, php-cli [15:51] sipior, how do I do that? [15:51] alex_goanta_2012: is it a new partition? Is it a new disk? What filesystem is on the partition? [15:52] InfectedWithDrew: "man mke2fs". the option you're looking for is -I, i think [15:52] Matic - it says php-cli is ont available [15:52] hi I just configure smb share on my ubuntu server. Everything's OK I can connect but when I do I and up in some wired folder (/var/lib/samba/printers/) [15:52] not* [15:52] Titan8990: done with fdisk. :) thq alot [15:52] it is a old partition with music and moviesand is ntfs [15:52] NarbeH, np [15:52] Kingsy101, try php5-cli [15:53] yea that seems to be working [15:53] sipior, is this after I've created an ext3 filesystem that I would install the OS to? (I'm going to be installing Ubuntu on a friend's computer and it'd be nice if the ext2 IFS worked...) [15:53] One of these days we need to track down a 'walk a user through mounting a ntfs parittion wizazrd script' [15:53] alex_goanta_2012: do you know the device name? (like /dev/sda2, /dev/sdb1 ...) [15:53] InfectedWithDrew: so, for ext3, something like mke2fs -m 0 -j -I 128 /dev/foo [15:53] dev/sda5 [15:53] now apt-get fails to install build-essential because it could not find the package on the archive....how can i change the urls on which apt-get should search for the packages? [15:53] InfectedWithDrew: yes, simply create a filesystem on an available partition, then tell ubuntu to install using that partition, being careful to instruct the installer not to overwrite it. [15:54] if I've got a laptop in a dock, should i be able to run a separate monitor from the dock's video port? (not just to show me the same thing on my laptop display, but to show another display?) [15:54] alex_goanta_2012: the actual mount command for one-time mount would be "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /music", where "/music" should be an existing directory [15:54] alex_goanta_2012, just mount it to some mount point.. [15:54] jamiejackson, if your graphics card supports dual monitors, then yes. [15:54] alex_goanta_2012: if you want to mount the filesystem after every boot, you need to add a line in /etc/fstab file [15:55] example fstab like for ntfs --> /dev/sda1 /media/Vista ntfs-3g defaults,umask=0,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 [15:55] jamiejackson -> seems reasonable, look into gdmflexiserver [15:55] Dr_willis: that saved me a couple of keystrokes :) [15:55] and consider the "auto" option too [15:55] sipior, I understand the -I parameter but what do the -m and -j parameters do? I want to be sure I'm not just pounding away... I want to be able to resize his NTFS partition to take up half the drive, then I want to have the rest be ext3 with like 2GB swap, and have the ext3 use an inode of 128. If that can be done in GParted that'd be swell because I'm not experienced and don't want to mess anything up. [15:55] is there a linuxy way to do that, burkmat, or do i have to look at the card specs? [15:55] so that it automounts on boot [15:56] InfectedWithDrew: this is what man pages are for :-) -m sets the reserve block percentage to zero, and -j creates a journal (otherwise you make an ext2 filesystem) [15:56] jamiejackson, I'm not very experienced in the matter, but I suspect card specs may be the easiest way to check. :) [15:57] does anyone know if there is an application to open *.cue files in Ubuntu? I use Daemon tools in windows, but not sure what the equivalent would be. Also, it's for an installer that I will need to run through wine, so is there a way to do it through wine? [15:57] does encfs support lock files? [15:57] I see. Are you aware of GParted allowing you to choose your inode size? Hell, I could just install Hardy, I heard it uses 128 [15:57] ice_cream: well, yes the 'auto' is default of course [15:57] oups... how do I make my desktop visible again? I've got show_desktop in gconfd apps>nautilus>preferences marked === tim__sharitt is now known as tim_sharitt [15:57] InfectedWithDrew: you'd have to consule the gparted docs. it should be possible to pass options to mkfs from gparted. does windows require the inode size for some reason? [15:58] sipior, ah, was confused for a second. plugdev yes, disk no [15:58] KDB9000: well, did you add yourself to disk? [15:58] sipior, it's the software for reading ext, the ext2 ifs. There is another, clunkier software that has been updated for 256, but I'd rather use the former because it's much faster. [15:59] sipior, no. [15:59] ah, right, good point oCean_ [15:59] i just have noauto all over the place, and i forgot about the default =D [16:00] odder, just a small suggestion, but try logging out/back in again [16:00] can my computer be fixed from the outside? [16:00] sipior, the only problem is, I can't test to see if that fixed the problem now [16:00] alex_goanta_2012, you mean remote desktop ? [16:01] yeah [16:01] ibuclaw: already done a few times [16:01] alex_goanta_2012: what is the problem ? [16:01] sipior, I have to scram, thank you for the tips. If I can't find a way to do it easily in GParted, I'll end up getting on via live session later. Have a good one. [16:01] i don`t really know [16:01] ibuclaw: and, additionally, I can't visit my home folder with nautilus and right-click doesn't work [16:01] alex_goanta_2012, are you still having trouble mounting that ntfs drive? [16:01] alex_goanta_2012: we tried to let you mount the partition. Dit that work? [16:01] nope [16:02] output [16:02] sipior: they are on the same network yes [16:02] alex_goanta_2012: what is the error you got? [16:02] alex_goanta_2012, post output on pastie.org or other pastebin sites [16:02] how can i send you a screenshot/ [16:02] alex_goanta_2012: just tell us the problem [16:02] อยากมีแฟน [16:02] alvin_3: and can you ping one host from the other? are there any firewall rules in operation on the target machine? [16:03] when i try to acces the partition it says unclean shutdown [16:03] alex_goanta_2012: ok - so you have to boot into windows and run chkdisk on that partition [16:03] alex_goanta_2012: windows has marked it as dirty so ubuntu won't mount it [16:03] alex_goanta_2012: okay, that is know problem [16:03] how cai it be fixed? [16:04] alex_goanta_2012: reuse same mount command I send, but add "-o force" at the end. [16:04] alex_goanta_2012: boot into windows and run chkdisk on it [16:04] oCean_: advising someone to mount a potentially corrupted file system with force is not a good idea [16:04] hey guys quick question for ya [16:04] I have to do mount /dev/sdb1 /backup and mount /dev/sdc1 /stuff manually [16:04] you mean i have to install windows again?:O [16:04] how do I add them to /etc/fstab ... I can't figure out /etc/fstab [16:04] w0ls0n: what can't you figure out ? [16:04] ikonia: alex_goanta_2012: I think it's worth a shot, since I succeeded more than once [16:05] oCean_: "worth a shot" we don't even know how important this data is [16:05] oCean_: I appriciate what your saying but please consider the end user when offering solutions, you could potentially lose all his data [16:05] if i install windows i will not install linux again [16:05] w0ls0n: what part is not clear [16:05] it's not as clear as freebsd [16:05] w0ls0n: what part is not clear ? [16:06] alex_goanta_2012, To be fair, the issue here is that Windows flagged the disc and therefor Ubuntu doesn't want to break it by touching... [16:06] sipior, there is no disk group [16:06] spricht hier auch wer deutsch? [16:06] !de | easybaby [16:06] easybaby: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [16:06] how do I fix this: Eel:ERROR:eel-preferences.c:117:preferences_gconf_value_get_string: assertion failed: (value->type == GCONF_VALUE_STRING) ? [16:06] it sucks [16:06] it shows in my .xsession-erors [16:06] ? [16:06] last try: can an app send outgoing emails with default ubuntu configuration ? [16:06] w0ls0n -> you do know that slices of BSD systems are slightly different from partitions of linux right? [16:06] alex_goanta_2012, There are ways to do it in Ubuntu, but as ikonia pointed out: Risky and we don't even know what data is on there. Losing you all your work over the last decade would suck, so we're not keen to risk it. [16:07] correct [16:07] I know my mount pointsd [16:07] Mean_Admin: Yes [16:07] Mean_Admin: sendmail [16:07] ok [16:07] Mean_Admin: indeed [16:07] i can't log in other server while other server is open with the same nick i've already registered. i want to open several servers simultaneously with the same nick. what do i do? [16:07] thank you for the help i will just install windows [16:07] w0ls0n, you need to know the filesystem type now, and what options you want? readonly? rw? [16:07] w0ls0n: the format is $DEVICE $MOUNTPOINT $FILESYSTEM $OPTIONS $CHKOPTIONS [16:07] alex_goanta_2012, Good luck. [16:07] thanks, porter1, savvas and Jeff_Martin for actually replying :) [16:07] so [16:08] w0ls0n: you just need device/mountpoint/filesystem - copy the options and chkoptions from someone else [16:08] as in one of the disks [16:08] /dev/sdb1 /backup ext2 defaults 0 0 [16:08] w0ls0n: there yo ugo [16:08] but if i will do that the partition will work with no problem [16:08] there you go [16:08] in windows [16:08] kk [16:08] tyty [16:08] ill write that down [16:08] anyone obvious place except iptables I should look when an app tells me it sent the mail all right but I didn't receive the mail ? [16:09] Mean_Admin: sendmail is a console application, you could use mozilla thunderbird or evolution mail and other applications if you set it up properly with smtp [16:09] eww sendmail.... [16:09] Mean_Admin: network (isp) blocking, see if the port (25) is open [16:09] <_spm_Draget> I installed NIS and it works nicely when I start it maually. But after rebooting my loginmanaged does not find the users in my NIS. Once I manually start it, it works fine. I suspect my networkcard being setup too late... does anyone know how to solve this? [16:10] Mean_Admin: it may also be sending the mail - but if you are on a home broadband/cable connection, most ISP's will black list you [16:10] savvas: it's more an app that sends automated mail (smartd) so I wouldn't think I need to install a mail app [16:10] Hey folks, I have EverQuest Titanium downloaded but I only have *.cue *.img, etc... files. I normally mount these files in Windows by using the Daemon Tools application. Is there a way to mount these through wine using a linux compatible cd-rom emulator? [16:10] ikonia: my iptables are clean and you'd think the isp would let outgoing mail :S [16:10] can someone help me with network setting on a vmware virtual machine? [16:10] boot_loop, good chance you can just mount the .img, without additional tools [16:10] but if i will install windows the partition will work with no problems? [16:11] Mean_Admin: a lot of ISP's won't allow out going mail, and a lot of ISP's (your target) will black list you because you're on a home connection, so the mail will get black holed or bounced [16:11] Titan8990: okay, I'll give it a shot, thanks a lot [16:11] xxNickxx: #vmware may be a good place to start [16:11] ikonia: would it work any better if I just used a different, maybe much higher port ? [16:11] Mean_Admin: no [16:11] Mean_Admin: why would you set a home mail server? [16:11] ikonia: i tired #vmware. no one is talking :) [16:11] savvas: I wouldn't! [16:11] xxNickxx: wait patiently [16:11] KDB9000: by the way, have you looked here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G ? [16:11] alex_goanta_2012: no guarantee.. Windows had marked it as 'bad', since it was not cleanly shutdown, meaning that the device might have been busy when windows shut down. [16:12] savvas: just trying to get an app to send email when hdd fails! [16:12] Mean_Admin: you may want to tell your mta to use your isp smarthost [16:12] ikonia: merde, I've no idea what mta is and I've also no idea what my ips's smarthost is [16:12] can it be fixed from windows?

[17:33] my window uses default, but my apps menu uses a custom [17:33] ikonia: it looks like they are, from grepping ps awux [17:33] the menus dont get the icon info from the program at all.. they get the info from the theme.. You sould have to make a custiome icon them i imagone Cotowar [17:33] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1069910 [17:33] Yo [17:34] yo [17:34] sup [17:34] I have a game that doesn't react to the keyboard in ubuntu. :S [17:34] infomomo: there are tons of alternatives. if you want minimal CPU usage without extensive tuning, you would likely have to accept certain feature deductions. Try running DSL-Not. It's a very lightweight distro that runs in a tiny amount of RAM and everything is very fast. But is it as featureful as Gnome? No, and no. [17:34] after some finagling, i finally got dual monitor going through "Monitor resolution settings" however, the external monitor flashes at me @60Hz, which is unbearable. the "Monitor Resolution Settings" gui has a refresh rate selector, but it only shows 60Hz, and I'm sure this monitor goes higher. know how to fix that up? [17:34] ikonia: it is an ApireOne [17:34] It does for other people. [17:34] infomomo try ubuntu netbook remix [17:34] What can be wrong? [17:34] yea, i have one, but how do i install it them [17:34] then* [17:34] I have been playing with it for a couple weeks and UNR is cool [17:34] Cotowar: find that icon [17:34] imri303: that's what i just installed in vmware to test and it seems to be a CPU hog [17:34] hmmm [17:35] Cotowar, drag/drop to the theme manager control-panel window in many cases... to isntall new themes.. [17:35] i know where its at [17:35] are you using the one with the lpia kernel? [17:35] and i did that to install the theme [17:35] but all my apps still use defaults when they open [17:35] eeebuntu-2/0-nbr [17:35] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1069910 [17:35] that one brother [17:35] Hello, have anybody "nvidia-glx" in the Hardy repos ??? [17:35] infomomo: Comparing speeds of operating systems natively and within a virtual machine like VMware is misguided. [17:35] 8GB memory and vmware workstation no problems here [17:35] ikonia: I seem to have fixed it with 'apt-get remove --purge network-manager' and then 'apt-get install network-manager-gnome' [17:35] didn't like the lpia one either so I installed ubuntu i386 and added the UNR repo and added it on top with session launchers [17:35] i have this archive, i dropped into theme manager and boom all my desktop icons went to the custom set [17:35] Cotowar: i think the trouble is /usr/share/pixmaps [17:35] infomomo: VMware imposes an extremely high amount of overhead in terms of RAM usage, CPU consumption, and disk I/O speed. In other words, VMware is dog slow. [17:35] ok, I don't like ecryptfs - it leaves filenames plaintext and it magically automounts - god knows where it gets my password from, sneaky little git [17:35] allquixotic: iknow but it gives a little idea right ? [17:36] gnome-look.org proberly has tutorials on making new icon themes. the apps will use the icons they are programd to use.. You would need to change the theme icon to be the same as the program app icon I imagine. I tend to disable all the icons I can. :) so thats about all i kmnow on the topic [17:36] ill look [17:36] you have to change that link [17:36] Schuyler: re-linked ito dbus [17:36] alright [17:36] i am trying to play a game in ubuntu that should work, but the keyboard doesn't make the game react. What can be wrong? [17:36] allquixotic very true [17:36] does one of you guys own a aspire one >? and if so, what do your recommend ? [17:36] and encfs doesn't seem to work with programs like evolution that want to create file locks... is there anything else? [17:36] ill look at gnome look some more, and in the pixmaps [17:36] infomomo: Trying to say "if VMware makes it this slow, it can't be much better on real hardware" is a fatally flawed assertion. VMware gives an __enormous__ performance hit. If you are planning to install the operating system natively, make no attempts to evaluate its native performance on the basis of virtualized performance. [17:36] I have many netbooks the aspire one being one of those :) [17:36] infomomo: i can't sudo to run the command you suggested [17:36] just make it point to the new icon set location [17:37] I run ubuntu i386 with UNR launchers [17:37] fabio, you are right [17:37] thank you sir [17:37] it's a little bug indeed [17:37] do i change them simply by deleting the photo and copying my new one in? [17:37] icons SHOULD change [17:38] twordley: try it without sudo then [17:38] infomomo: In VMware it once took me four hours to install OpenSolaris 10.0, yet it installed in 12 minutes running it natively. The entire install, the VMware process was pegging my CPU as viewed by top on the host. So yes - you aren't getting any meaningful data on native performance from VMware. [17:38] infomomo, i just use the normal ubuntu on mine. i do tweak it following the wiki pages [17:38] or log in as root, simple :D [17:38] imri303: of all the netbooks you own which is your favorite - i'm looking at getting one soon [17:38] infomomo try this page as well it is for the mini9 but works for the acer as well http://www.ubuntumini.com/2008/10/installing-ubuntu-netbook-remix.html [17:38] infomomo: how would i login as root? you mean recovery console? [17:38] Dr_willis: problem was WIFI, that is why i had tendencies towards an alternative [17:38] I like the lenovo ideapad s10e the best so far [17:39] how would i make it point to the new location? just make the pixmaps folder a shortcut to my new sets folder? [17:39] !root | infomomo, twordley [17:39] infomomo, twordley: 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 [17:39] I have played with the mini9, lenovo s10e. and the acer aspireone [17:39] ubottu: his sudo doesnt function well [17:39] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:39] twordley: Why can you not use sudo? [17:40] just patched intrepid this morning now i can no longer sudo. I checked /etc/sudoers and /etc/group. my user is in the proper groups and /etc/sudoers looks fine. Any ideas? [17:40] fabio, how do i make the /usr/share/pixmaps point to the new icon set? [17:40] twordley: Do you get an error message? Also, are you able to login with *the same password you try to sudo with* as your regular user, from e.g. the gdm login screen? [17:40] !logs [17:40] i just installed ubuntu virtual to learn alittle command line stuff not looking for anything great ..i gave ubuntu 3 gb memory and 2 cores seems to work ok [17:40] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - For LoCo channels, http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [17:41] hello all [17:41] allquixotic: i can login to the text console with my regular user/password. I cannot howerver login to gdm either. [17:41] hi. [17:41] Cotowar: right [17:42] twordley: If you can't login to gdm as your regular user/password, then something might be screwed up in the authentication subsystem. I'd point at PAM as a possibility. [17:42] how do i do it though? [17:42] im dont get how to modify the config file ala debian, according to that web https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile, cofnig files are in debian/config/i386/.

[17:44] twordley: If you have never set your root password before using `passwd root`, and you can't sudo, then rebooting Ubuntu into the option in the boot menu that says (recovery console) at the end will let you get a root shell and make configuration changes, at least. [17:44] twordley: So you're not "stuck without ability to login as root" - hopefully - if recovery works properly.

I really have no idea. Let me do some googling? Maybe you can help me? [17:55] Strange .. a desktop background that I created and have been using for some time will no longer display as the background.. why would that happen? [17:55] fabio, it says that the original images in the pixmaps folder are linking to a different folder where the real icon is, though i can't seem to find that folder [17:56] dgetsman: My initial investigation indicates that your "Power4+" processor is of the PowerPC genre. That means it's neither x86 nor x86_64; its architecture on Linux is called ppc [17:56] dgetsman: I don't know if ppc even _has_ 32 vs. 64-bit. [17:56] ok, i loose my network everynight while using screen lock. I also have ipv6 tunnel and a bridge to virtual box, there are not related errors in /var/log/messages [17:56] any ideas?

[18:07] correction acer extensa 5220 [18:07] cumulus007: I don't honestly know, but according to http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ it would appear there are no .torrent files, so I would surmise not [18:07] mac9416: look for a template [18:07] mac9416: Try looking at the source/forums for pypanel [18:08] cumulus007: Perhaps one reason is that if you're generating a new image *every single day*, any given node swarm on a torrent with a lifetime of less than a day is not going to have many seeders, so the server ends up doing all the work anyway [18:08] cumulus007: Torrents get healthy over time, not in the short turnaround time of <= 24 hours [18:08] mikewu: pypanel. Right. Thanks. [18:08] allquixotic: yeah, I understand that [18:08] sudo dhclient eth0; shows that the machine tries to connect, but gets no response. this exact hardware was connecting last night. how do i trouble shoot from here? [18:09] egc: look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=784272 [18:09] cumulus007: I do believe cdimage is a round robin server that parcels out the workload to official mirrors, but it could very well be that all the mirrors are overloaded too, since Free Software in general is so popular these days, and it's almost always serviced via download (including updates) [18:09] Hi [18:09] nevermind, it appears to be connecting now [18:10] mikewu: It looks like pypanel is a replacement for gnome-panel. I'm looking for a way to develop a tray applet for gnome-panel. [18:10] where might this directory be "../../lib/firefox-3.0.6/icons" [18:10] Hi, i need help,,, somebody speak spanish?

[18:11] Cotowar: depends on where you starting from. :) possibly under /usr/lib [18:11] mac9416: Try looking at this http://www.pygtk.org/articles/applets_arturogf/ [18:11] thats it [18:11] Cotowar: That's a relative path so it's impossible to infer its absolute path without knowledge of the current working directory; however, there is a /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.6 directory, so /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.6/../../lib/firefox-3.0.6/icons would be equivalent to the absolute path /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.6/icons [18:11] yea, it doesn't say any more than that, so i wasn't sure [18:11] thats though [18:11] thanks* [18:11] Hi, someone remind me the command used to check the size of a folder [18:12] please [18:12] Matic: du -sk [18:12] yep, found it [18:12] nanotube, thanks man [18:12] Matic: np :) [18:12] Cotowar: :) [18:13] hi [18:14] hello [18:14] hi all === dima__ is now known as presshere [18:14] lspci -v says atheros adapter is disabled [18:14] Jfdzar: yo [18:14] can you tell me why?

[18:15] please somebody i need to get this working [18:15] is there any way to perform a clean reinstall of wine? i basically need the C drive wiped, i uninstalled and reinstalled wine but the data is still there [18:15] egc: i hope you know something about policykit..i don't [18:16] mikewu: Looks like that's getting close. Thanks! [18:16] i also disapled ipv6 cause it was doing me errors on my network [18:16] jhg: delete the ~/.wine directory and have wine the command recreate it [18:16] did you hit the radio button on your laptop? [18:16] quibbler: i may have to learn ;) [18:16] Cotowar: `man mv`. But very simply stated, mv is a combination of a 'rename' and a 'move' command in one, and all arguments except for the last one are moved into the last argument, if it's a folder. Careful, though; if the last argument is an existing file, it gets overwritten. [18:16] could that be the cause [18:16] ? [18:16] egc: ;-) [18:16] quibbler: im still on hardy so maybe its fixed in newer release [18:16] oh well [18:16] kitche: i did that also but in applications->wine the directory structure is still there so it seems it caches that somewhere.. any idea where? [18:16] great [18:16] what is ubuntu studio ?

[18:17] jhg: in ~/.wine [18:17] removing wine - will NOT remove the .wine dirs in the users homes... [18:17] cotowar: If you're a newbie to using `mv`, you should always execute `mv -i` to have the system prompt you if the result of your command will overwrite any files [18:17] terminhell : nothing only eth0 an lo are listed [18:17] egc: i'm also on hardy and i have not experienced that [18:17] jhg: it won't reset the menu until you log off and back on [18:17] etko_: ya sounds like drivers [18:17] besides when i cling in network connections to edit adapter ptoperties [18:18] quibbler: oh :( [18:18] anyone have a mce remote and ir receiver for sale for sub $30?

[19:04] does anyone tried to install maven2 (more exact it is version 2.0.9-2) on ubuntu ibex? there are so many dependencies, which forces me to install about 120 MB new software [19:04] but on the homepage of maven http://maven.apache.org/ the tool is just about 1.6 MB big [19:04] i'm trying to set up a linksys router, but when i unplug the network cable from my modem and stick it in the router, i can't get no satisfaction [19:04] sorry enter is a bad habbit. I've purged WINE tons of times I re-install it won't launch anything [19:04] so I dont understand the huge difference? [19:05] and just for the case: yes, I already installed java 6 [19:05] no network connection is available [19:05] i point the browser at 192.168.1.1 [19:05] mr_daniel: yep but it needs a lot of java infrastructure; doesn't it? [19:05] hi, im having a problem setting up a server in a windows environment. i called it 'userver' but i cant access it with that name, only with ip address. [19:05] Awesome! "Based on the concept of a project object model (POM)" [19:06] erUSUL: I just wonder why those packages are so big [19:06] mr_daniel: dunno [19:06] mr_daniel: the tool might be 1.6 mb but the other programs are 19 MBs [19:06] Perhaps I should build from source? [19:06] my first guess was that there is a failure in package dependencies, and that synaptic want install a new JRE except of OpenJDK [19:06] brb guys [19:07] mr_daniel: also by default ibex will install recommended packages too [19:07] 19MBs? all together is about 120 MB! this is huge! [19:07] just to make a 1.6 MB program run [19:07] mr_daniel: ibex apt's [19:07] if i want the pine mail reader, should i install alpine package? [19:07] what is gcj? a JRE? [19:07] mr_daniel: so blame the authors of maxon then for having so many dependencies for a 1.6 mb program [19:08] mr_daniel: gcj is gnu jre [19:08] mr_daniel: yep; [19:08] terminhell, hrm, everything is set properly for positions, i dont know if there is a separate key i should be looking it [19:08] Hello. [19:08] Any chance proftpd will be compiled with mod_tls by default in 8.04 or 8.10 ibex ? [19:08] they are set to locked [19:08] ok, there is a problem with dependencies! [19:08] What program do you use to extract a CD to mp3 or ogg? [19:08] I have already installed a wokring JRE, I do not need gcj! [19:08] Anyone know the WINE IRC channel? [19:08] LogicFan: is your home dir set to RO? [19:08] ly: #winehq [19:08] mr_daniel: so compile maxon yourself then if you want to use your JRE intead of the one that ubuntu used to compile maxon [19:09] Jerusalem420: pinging the 192.168.1.1 address also fails? [19:09] Something easy, that my wife can use? it used to be there and easy to use. [19:09] terminhell, sorry, i dont know what that is?

[19:11] Svendo: probably because they did not use tls for the encryption but this isn't the channel to ask that question really the -dev channel is really [19:11] Svendo: uh... this is a laptop [19:11] and I know it has a graphics card [19:11] LogicFan: it says your username and has read & write selected?

[19:35] billybigrigger: compat issues mainly and there is not much of an advantage to x86_64 if you have less then 4 gigs of ram [19:35] edpotts39, what are you trying to acheve ? [19:36] sudo mount what ? kitche [19:36] thnkas for the answers. I have read that the amd64 build has sse2 and other optimizacions, With them I will not notice any thing faster?

[19:40] KDesk, if u can run amd64, there is no "big difference" but for things such convert mp3 to ogg or other multimedia stuff it will be a little faster [19:41] I'm missing part of the screen when I use my tv-out, I'm using nvidia-settings === nick|here is now known as nick [19:41] PatrickMelo: does the amd64 use more ram? I have read that. [19:41] lulz [19:43] KDesk: any 64-bit system can recognize more ram, for information, a 32-bit system can only use 4gb of ram, it's a limitation of the processor, but amd64 does not have this limitation, if you have more than 4gb of ram or qnat to do somethings that you really use you processor you should go amd64 [19:44] how do you remove window decorations on a window? say like i have an xterm open showing some info but I want rid of the title bar and window border (on that window only) how would I do this?

[20:00] welcome! [20:00] Hello all, I'm having a bit of trouble installing the BCM4312 drivers in Ubuntu 8.04 [20:01] Ubuntu recognized the device and used a proprietary driver but it didn't seem to activate properly [20:01] oCean_: Nobody is answering... [20:01] Hello. I have an Ubuntu Server 8.10 Intrepid. I want to disable the feature that closes my monitor after a while of inactivity. I tried searching on the forums( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1074563 ) and on Google, but with no luck. Can you please help me ? [20:02] Anyone instaled these drivers? [20:03] fx3 sorry [20:04] hi can someone help me with a problem i'm having? [20:04] /dev/sdb5 === maco_ is now known as maco [20:04] fx3 :/dev/sdb5 [20:04] !version [20:04] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [20:05] AdyTcl, so type these two commands in: sudo mkdir /media/disk5; sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /media/disk5 [20:05] hrmph. lsb_release, eh. no catting of /etc/issue?! :D [20:05] what happened to standardization! [20:06] I put in user and password and then I just get a peach screen [20:06] I have two md RAID arrays. mdadm says one has state "active" and the other state "clean". What's the meaning of this difference? === thor_ is now known as terminhell [20:06] any good command line books? [20:07] nope no such a file or directory [20:07] Anybody here familiar with rsync? I have an smb mount to a WindowsXP box and I want to use rsync from ubuntu to grab a directory on the xp box and sync it to the laptop on a FAT32 partition. When I attempt any subsequent rsyncs, it attempts to resync ALL files instead of an incremental backup. I'm using 'rsync -av' for the command. [20:07] infstab is a line llike that [20:07] in fstab is a line llike that [20:07] Has anyone in here been able to install bcm43? [20:08] has anyone here tried the Xbox Media centre in linux?? if so any good??? [20:08] how do I make to show all web pages with 150% zoom by default on ubuntu firefox? [20:08] yorky501: xbox media center ? [20:08] yorky501: that's not a linux product [20:08] yeah [20:09] yorky501: what are you talking about ? [20:09] alien: hold down Ctrl+scroll wheel [20:09] yorky501: this channel is for ubuntu related support issues [20:09] just wondering if anyone had installed it [20:10] alien: or just go under the page/view properties [20:10] yorky501: just google ubuntu xbmc and you'll get plenty or results [20:10] themolester, that does not make it to be default [20:10] Fuck, is there a good tutorial on getting BCM wireless cards to work? [20:10] Artissimo: control your language please [20:10] yorky501: xbox media center is not a linux produt [20:10] I'm pissed off. [20:10] ikonia: what do you mean? I've installed it lots of times. [20:10] Artissimo, you might be, but please watch your language. [20:11] Holaaaa [20:11] Aragon: tried system -> administration -> hardware drivers ? [20:11] ewj1976: xbmc does not say it's called "Xbox media center" I assume you mean xbmc [20:11] Terminator, i can do that on every page, but it is pain in the neck to adjust every page i go to , want it to be a default setting [20:11] does pulseaudio normally die when coming out of sleep? [20:11] Aragon: erm, that was meant for someone else [20:11] I mean terminhell :) [20:11] any ideas on why i get stuck on peach screen after user name and pass? [20:11] Danyo: does it happen with a freshly created user? [20:12] Danyo, got any panel bars at the top or bottom? [20:12] i think my networking and pulse audio are both dying when the box comes out of sleep mode [20:12] i just installed Ubuntu [20:12] Danyo, did you install Intrepid? [20:12] if i:) how i add a new hdd ? [20:12] AdyTcl, say what? [20:12] alien: see if you can find it in firefox by going inot about:config [20:12] no i have not [20:12] how i add a new add ? [20:12] Please I need help. How do I "extract" a .daa file? [20:12] *into [20:12] Danyo, which version of Ubuntu? [20:13] God, this blank screen if no activity drives me crazy. [20:13] Artissimo: tried system -> administration -> hardware drivers ? [20:13] 8.10 latest release [20:13] Yes, it's listed there and activated [20:13] how i install a new HDD [20:13] Danyo, 8.10 is Intrepid Ibex aka Intrepid [20:13] But when I right click on the network icon, I don't see my wifi networks [20:13] sorry HDDD* [20:13] !who | Danyo [20:13] Danyo: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [20:13] Danyo, it's simply referred to as intrepid, just FYI [20:14] i think powerISO will convert .daa files [20:14] Artissimo: it would be a left click [20:14] Danyo, so you get no panels or bars or anything? Just a peach screen? [20:14] anyone, how do u use ubuntu to crack fort nox [20:14] Artissimo: can you get any results using iwlist? [20:14] Artissimo: iirc you need to reboot after installing it [20:14] huufarted, thank you and no just peach screen [20:14] Yud_Zroc: do you have a serious question about ubuntu support? [20:14] Artissimo, dual booting XP and Ubuntu by chance? [20:14] Ok, I see the networks [20:14] jrib: you can kill and restart nm-applet and that works. [20:15] Yud_Zroc, send them a logic bomb through their trap door [20:15] Artissimo, ignore my last question [20:15] terminhell, works, thanks! [20:15] ewj1976: k [20:15] But with the proprietary drivers, I can't use aircrack can I? [20:15] Please I need help. How do I "extract" a .daa file? It is supposed to contain books. I want the books (.pdf or whatever) in a folder in my HD. I don't want ISO files of any kind because I don't know how to deal with them lol [20:15] huufarted: this is after user name and then pass. I am dual booting as well [20:15] How can i mount mdf, or mds files? And which one of them i must mount? [20:15] okay [20:15] accully yes i hear t6hat there is a program out that can crack 64 bit wireless networks....any tips [20:15] Artissimo: why do you want to use aircrack ?

[20:19] since upgrading to intrepid, certain icons in my systray such as xchat and wireless icons are no longer having transparent backgrounds, they appear white and clash with my background color, how can i fix this? i use trayer and have tried using stalonetray and neither fix the issue. icons such as amsn and amarok have transparent backgrounds. [20:19] for the samsung juke (or any windows media player mp3 player per chance) what program will sync music to them [20:19] Someone help. Just installed Intrepid to dual boot with xp and after user name and pass i get a peach screen and that's it [20:20] Daft_Punk: sometimes certain themes don't play nice. Have you tried a different gtk theme? Restarted gnome-panel? [20:20] Danyo: did you try rollback/recover from grub [20:20] jrib: yes, does it works with mdf also? [20:20] Danyo: also try changing your session type from gnome to failsafe and see if that changes anything [20:20] Question, Is there a gnome app similar to klipper? [20:21] ifroog: glipper [20:21] terminhellp and Yud_Zroc I tried going through the safe mode but that didn't help [20:21] haa ! :D [20:21] ifroog: parcellite [20:21] ewj1976, i dont use gnome-panel for the systray, and its not my theme i have changed themes and rebooted many times [20:21] Pici, Tx [20:21] Rencx: the link he gave you tells you how to convert [20:21] What's the canonical method of changing the grub boot menu entries? Is there an Ubuntu GTK-based config tool or do I just edit the grub menu.lst file by hand? [20:22] edit it by hand [20:22] at the gdm maybe try loging in the old fashioned way [20:22] ctrl+alt+F1 [20:22] plazia_: startupmanager [20:22] Daft_Punk: what do you use? I was having a similar problem using lxpanel when using openbox. [20:22] you wont have x started [20:22] just cli [20:22] ewj1976, i am using trayer [20:23] hello, what packages will i need to run a php page on my computer ? except of apache ? [20:23] geirha, is that in the admin/preferences menu? because I don't see it? or is it a package you install? [20:23] ewj1976, i also tried stalone tray and the same thing with the icons, i tried another icon pack and original icons but same thing, its since upgrading to intrepid [20:23] Hi All! I recently upgraded my Intrepid laptop to the Jaunty alpha (couldn't wait to try ext4). I run on a three partition setup (/home, / and another partition). These were previously ext3, and I promptly converted them to ext4 (tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/sda? followed by a fsck). I also gave the same treatment to / (from a live cd, naturally) and altered /etc/fstab so that all the partitions are mounted ext4. In /etc/fstab, the mount optio [20:23] the two non root partions are "defaults". I left the mount options for / at what they were in ext3 (distro default, relatime,errors=remount-ro). My confusion arises from this: partition management tools (like parted) list / as an ext3 partition and the other 2 [correctly] as ext4 partitions. From what I have read, invoking tune2fs with the options listed above ought to _irreversibly_ convert the ext3 partition to ext4. So why does it still appear to parted [20:23] !php | alarm [20:23] an ext3 partition? Does it have anything to do with the mount options? (For the record: "sudo mount" confirms that the partition has been mounted with the ext4 driver) While still on mount options, what are the defaults on ext4? What are the "best performance" options? What are the "keep your data real safe" mount options? I have Googled a bit - unsuccessfully. Thanks. [20:23] alarm: 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+) [20:23] dnyaga: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:23] why do i need mysql ? [20:23] plazia_: You can use startupmanager (which is in the repos) to modify grub graphically. [20:23] alarm: you don't [20:23] Does anybody know how to force the mounting of a partition via the terminal? I'm attempting to force /dev/sda1. [20:23] plazia_: A package that is not installed by default [20:24] Pici, geirha Yud_Zroc thanks peeps [20:24] so php is the package name ? [20:24] (OT) I need advice. I want to take my 300GB 3.5" SATA HDD on holiday with me and my laptop. What sort of case should should I buy for it? What ports USB, Firewire? Something else.

Perhaps it lies in the apps themeselves. I switched from gnubiff to mail-notification for example to get the panel to look right. [20:24] I'll take a look [20:24] dnyaga: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Jaunty/9.04 support/discussion. [20:24] Mickmeister: well first you should explain why you think you should be forcing it at all [20:24] Soo .. any you guys have any ideea how to disable the blank screen if no activity ? [20:24] How do I get my network card's interface? iwconfig doesn't give it to me?\ [20:24] jrib, because I can't be arsed to reboot and shut down the Windows partition properly. [20:24] you can usually assume it Artissimo [20:25] Thanks Pici, I will move shortly. [20:25] Artissimo: some times u need to get the update for it [20:25] eth1 or wlan0 [20:25] ewj1976, i dont think it would be the apps because in hardy, i used the same apps and icons and they had transparent backgrounds, now things like xchat and my wireless in the tray, have white backgrounds and it clashes with my background color unless its white [20:25] jrib: ty, does mdf2iso is 2005 year program? it dont have updates? [20:26] Rencx: Does it need updates? If it works why update it? [20:26] terminhell: it says IEEE 802.11 Nickname:"" /n Access Point : Not-Associated [20:26] Mickmeister: read the warnings in « man ntfs-3g ». If you insist, pass "-o force" as an option to mount. It may be better to use ntfsfix from the ntfsprogs package instead [20:26] For eth1 [20:26] dont pull a windows and fix things that aint broken [20:26] Rencx: I doubt it. It's probably a very simple thing === root is now known as UdontKnow [20:26] [MacSlow's Cairo Clock] Anyone else got a black background to this great little clock? I've lost transparency. [20:26] Artissimo: ok try doing ifconfig eth1 essid "name" [20:27] What is "name"? [20:27] the ssid [20:27] The ssid name of the wifi network? [20:27] Ok [20:27] Pici: somtimes old stuff cant work with new versions of linux so i just check out.. [20:28] essid "Unknown host" [20:28] hard to imagine almsot 1500 people here [20:28] terminhell: shoudn't that be iwconfig? [20:28] you could try using iwconfig also [20:28] ive been able to set it with either [20:28] jrib: ok and what file i shold take? [20:29] terminhell: Well .. I'm have a problem that I can't fix from several hours and nobody can help me. What do you say about that ? [20:29] Nicador: sorry to hear that, whats the problem [20:29] jrib: for ubuntu it can be mdf2iso_0.3.0-2_i386.deb? [20:30] I have an Ubuntu server, and if it's no keyboard activity the screen goes blank... and I want to disable that. As simple it sounds, as hard it is to find some help. Forums, google, irc... anything. [20:30] Rencx: ah. Actually, mdf2iso is in the repositories, so you should use synaptic or apt-get directly [20:30] Nicador, its to do with APM, i think [20:31] Ubuntu Is Rock Stable... [20:31] do you have a gui installed on this server? [20:31] Ubuntu Is Rock Stable... [20:31] Ubuntu Is Rock Stable... [20:31] No i dont' have a GUI. [20:31] fx3: In GRUB or what ? [20:31] jsut switched from fedora to ubuntu .. Ubuntu Rockz [20:31] yea in grub [20:31] jrib: and what if i alredy instaled deb? version 0.30? [20:31] is there any particular reason you dont want the display to go off? [20:32] fx3: Ok, thanks. I'll try. And come back. [20:32] terminhell, it doesnt matter, say he uses it to display some information on a big screen [20:32] terminhell: Yeah, i want to keep an eye on it :) [20:32] aight. just trying to fully understand the situation is all [20:32] Rencx: you can remove it and install the repository one (this way you get automatic updates) [20:33] Nicador: Check the man-page but it is something like: setterm -blank 0 -powersave off [20:33] can anyone share your ~/.bashrc? I lost mine [20:33] is there a way to mount a usb drive and not preserve the original permissions someone gave me a usbstick to use owned by root and i just dont want to rewrite the permissions but i want to copy some files as user [20:34] IntuitiveNipple: Done that, still no change. Thanks any way. [20:34] jrib: sorry for questions but how i can remove it? [20:34] fx3: In grub, i'll insert a new like after quiet and thipe noacpi ? [20:34] type* [20:34] Rencx: sudo apt-get remove PACKAGE [20:34] i need some help with the startup sequence of two services [20:34] i have a result set using the 'find' command... i would like to perform a 'ls -lh' on that set... how would i do that [20:34] I need the DHCP3 service to start before the Mythbackend service [20:34] what is the ubuntu installer called? [20:34] Nicador, actually, try IntuitiveNipple's idea first, cause disabling acpi means you wont have any thermal zones and stuff [20:35] and if it's possible, have the mythbackend process wait 20 seconds before starting [20:35] fx3: I tried, it doesen't work :) [20:35] jrib: ty for your help :) [20:35] nico1038: i think you need to also look at acpid and apmd [20:35] your power managements [20:36] Where is my kernal sources directory? [20:36] Nicador, http://swoolley.org/man.cgi/apmd [20:36] hy! how can i get to automount with the fsab.conf? i am using these line /dev/sda1 /media/linux120 ext3 defaults 0 0 . Somehow it doesn't start on login. What is wrong? [20:37] Cristi, run sudo mount -a [20:37] if it doesnt mount then there is a problem and it wont mount at boot time [20:37] do you have to buy codecs to watch divx 5 ? [20:37] fx3: they are mounted now [20:37] can anyone help with the service startup order? [20:37] Nicador: Have you looked at disabling dpms ? [20:37] my picture is all messed up when I try to watch a divx 5 movie [20:37] Artissimo: you don't have one, your using pre-compiled kernels [20:38] Hm [20:38] fx3: however i want them to automount on startup? should i just try to restart? i just reloged after reediting fstab [20:38] make a custom started launcher for it Cristi [20:38] Cristi: if you can run "sudo mount -a" and it runs succesfully, then on a reboot, the mounts shoudl work [20:38] *startup [20:38] Cristi, no, edit fstab and run sudo mount -a, if the file systems mount sucessfully they will automount on startu [20:39] startup* [20:39] haha [20:39] CNLiberal, fx3 thank you [20:39] CNLiberal: what is you want to do [20:39] i need the DHCP3 service to start up before the mtyhbackend process [20:39] CNLiberal: it should do [20:40] CNLiberal: networking is normally before the other service [20:40] it starts up after the mythbackend process [20:40] CNLiberal: are you sure ? [20:40] odd [20:40] well, i have a HD Homerun box attached to the secondary NIC on my backend [20:40] CNLiberal: please go into /etc/rc2.d [20:40] the mythbackend process desn't see the HDHR box when it starts [20:40] k [20:40] I booted with noacpi ... cause i don't see http://swoolley.org/man.cgi/apmd here anything related to my blank screen. If it works as it is, i'll leave it this way. [20:40] CNLiberal: please tell me the name of your mythtv script [20:41] question about using tiling window managers on Ubuntu - would I have to replace GNOME entirely (not necessarily a bad thing)? are there any implications in terms of, say, system tray, notifications etc. [20:41] ok [20:41] in /etc/rc2.d [20:41] FND: no [20:41] CNLiberal: in that directory there should be a mythtv script [20:41] CNLiberal: something like S55myythtv-backend [20:41] FND: infact im using fluxbox/blackbox atm [20:41] S40dhcp3-server [20:41] CNLiberal: no [20:42] S20mythtv-backend [20:42] CNLiberal: a.) that's a server b.) not what I asked for [20:42] terminhell: are there any guides on getting started? [20:42] jrib: sorry what i have to do next i have installed it.. [20:42] CNLiberal: do you want the dhcp server or client running ? [20:42] I'm unable to connect to my Ubuntu server with Putty. I just use SSH on port 22 don't I? [20:42] CNLiberal: I thought you wanted the client ? [20:42] right, i want the DHCP server to start before the mythbackend script [20:42] I have 2 NICS [20:42] FND: though, notifications might be a bit trickier to setup on certain managers. [20:42] both have static IPS [20:42] IPs [20:42] CNLiberal: so you don't need a dhcp server [20:42] Rencx: I have no experience with it, read its documentation [20:42] FND: you could also check out crunchbanglinux.org for an openbox version of Ubuntu 8.10. It's what I primarily use. [20:42] but the secondary NIC serves out addresses [20:42] terminhell: I'm thinking of XMonad or StumpWM (mostly out of ignorance at this point) [20:42] CNLiberal: if they have static IP - they don't need an address [20:43] CNLiberal: anyway, just change the numbers at the start of the script - lower starts first [20:43] DHCP server is installed and working, but I want it to start well before the myth-backend service === maco_ is now known as maco [20:43] ewj1976: I have a CrunchBang VM, but OpenBox is not a tiling window manager [20:43] ahh [20:43] ok [20:43] alright, I'm trying to run 'gpg --gen-key' to setup my own repository, and it gets to the point where it is generating random material and to increase entropy it needs random input from me, I filled the input buffer with random stuff and it hasn't done squat [20:43] hi [20:43] FND: sorry, missed that. Scrolling too fast for my irssi window :( [20:43] ewj1976: in fact, I tried (briefly) to get StumpWM running on #!, but that didn't quite work [20:43] Sound like a bug : sometimes, I have some Wifi signal with a quality over 100%, sometimes : 177/100 which is not possible & not true. The signals are quite far. Do you know why? [20:44] ikonia: so in my case, the mythbackend service is starting BEFORE the DHCP server (S20myth-backend and S40DHCP3-server) [20:44] I have just hooked my EEE to my tv, but I have a small problem. I can only use a resolution of 640x480 when doing that. Any suggestions on how to improve that? [20:44] i wish irssi filtered out erroneous log msgs [20:44] How come when I try and install bcm43xx-fwcutter it says it can't find the package? [20:44] Do I have to change the numbering in EACH rc*.d folder? [20:44] CNLiberal: correct [20:45] isn't rc5.d the normal GUI environment? [20:45] fnd well [20:45] DIFH-iceroot: i have mdf2iso but i dont now what to do next can you explain to me [20:46] FND: in synaptic you could just search and install the WM's you want.

[20:46] :p [20:46] jrib: So if I change it in runlevel 2 then when i do a reboot back into GNOME, it should all be OK [20:46] CNLiberal: Ubuntu uses runlevel 2 [20:46] cool [20:46] ahh [20:46] gotcha [20:46] terminhell: sounds simple enough, thanks [20:46] CNLiberal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:46] jrib: where i can find it? [20:47] Rencx: those are commands to enter in the terminal [20:47] FND: a lot of the light weight wm's have no traditional menu. its a right click system anywhere on the desktop [20:47] jrib: it has no windows? [20:47] is there such a thing as starting a service TOO early? [20:47] Rencx: i doubt it [20:48] terminhell: right-click? I was trying to get away from the mouse as much as possible... (without resorting entirely to screen... ) [20:48] FND: and i also suggest installing thunar as a file manager instead of using nautilis to speed up the feel of everything. not as functional but it does its job [20:48] Does anyone have expreience with b43-fwcuttter in here?

[20:52] is there a seperate help channel for vsftpd? [20:52] terminhell, yes i have [20:52] terminhell, i tried the original ubuntu icons too [20:52] hlm: yes, there is a #vsftpd channel [20:53] terminhell, are there any systray apps that you know of, that would make any WHITE portion of the icon transparent? "false transparency" [20:53] hmmz, ok, let me switch back to gnome so i can dig around for anything [20:53] brb [20:53] тест [20:54] algum(a) brasileira?

[21:15] i am getting this error : Apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 [21:15] i do have another question regarding EnvyNG [21:15] _dbd_l12 nothing in proc drivers except sound card stuff [21:15] and all the sites i read , say about fqdn , which i cant find something like that on my ubuntu [21:15] I have an nVidia FX5200 card with dual heads [21:15] Notch-1: in the past ive had a problem like this but it pretty much fixd itself over time thru im assuming gtk updates. So uh, im not realy sure what to check. Maybe your .gtkrc file in your home dir [21:15] makito249: unaware of such a command myself, but it would be usefull indeed [21:16] hi people. I've got an intel i7 on supermicro board. It has a pair of Intel 82574L NICs. Ubuntu Hardy Server edition kernel does not recognise them. Source code does seem available from Intel. What's my best path to getting these running? Does anyone know of a kernel update for hardy that would cover this? [21:16] and I installed EnvyNG and told it to install the nvidia 172 drivers [21:16] and now, the screen blanks out randomly [21:16] i disabled COMPOSITE in xorg.conf, but it still blanks out (albeit MUCH less than with it enabled) [21:17] makito249: Does this help? glxinfo | grep 'version string' [21:17] if anyone wants to help me with making my /dev/sda3 a /boot partition instead of / having a boot folder come to #ubuntu-server [21:17] terminhell: .. that change? :D [21:18] terminhell: anyway i do not have a .gtkrc file in my home [21:18] is that bad? :P [21:18] i have an identical card, in an identical mobo and it's not blanking out [21:19] Hey IntuitiveNipple, I just pmed you on ubuntu forums. `glxinfo | grep version` tells me about the hardware, but not the software as far as I can tell. [21:19] Notch-1: hit ctrl+h to show hidden files [21:19] terminhell: done :D [21:19] DIFH-iceroot: it make me 544KB iso from 7gb mdf... and my iso dont work. Do you now, what can i do? [21:20] makito249: It reports the information from the drivers. [21:20] makito249: Unfortunately, you have to interpret it - it doesn't simply give the actual driver filename [21:21] Ah, well that is helpful at least. I can tell whether I am using nvidia or intel graphics (sony vaio has both), though I still don't know which driver I am using. === OIS_ is now known as OIS [21:22] anyone want to direct me to how to easily setup a bootloader? or just find a way to boot an ubuntu partition? [21:23] Is there anyway to customize what keys get repeated? For instance I am getting annoyed with the keys and backspace constantly repeating even on the least sensitive setting but when I turn off repeat I lose the ability to hold the backspace key which I still want to be able to do.... [21:23] makito249: Thanks for the DSDT dump. I don't do anything with them nowadays, got fed up waiting for Sony to actually offer some help and it is too big a long-term job to try to figure out the stream of new models. [21:23] alarm: apache just says that it cannot resolve a fqdn, and uses the ip as ServerName. [21:23] ok fixed it, added ServerName localhost in the apache.conf [21:23] now i try to set up php for apache :) [21:23] makito249: The Xorg.0.log file will report the loaded driver [21:23] alarm: aha.. I was about to tell you :) [21:23] IntuitiveNipple: OK, do you know if there is anyone else working on it? If not, where would you recommend a relatively inexperienced programmer should start? [21:24] Oh, and how do I get the message certain users like you are doing with me (i.e. show up in gold)? [21:24] what is a step-by-step way to make ubuntu use /dev/sda3 as a boot partition instead of /boot? (btw the /dev/sda3 is a fat16) [21:24] alarm: "a2enmod php5" should enable the php module for apache. Don't forget to restart apache after that [21:24] alarm, its not really an error [21:24] hello [21:24] makito249: No, the only work is the itty-bitty additions in sony-laptop. There's no effort now for a comprehensive solution. [21:24] just something it spits out.... [21:24] where can I find opensync-plugin-sunbird for hardy? [21:24] a2enmod ? thats the package name ? [21:25] I can't stand it anymore .. I'm trying for 5 hours to disable the blank screen standby .. and I can't manage to make it work... [21:25] the command, a shortcut to enable a module [21:25] alarm: a2enmod is the command to enable a module, the php5 is the module name .. so "a2enmod php5" [21:25] normally you`d have to add it in http.conf [21:25] makito249: I wouldn't recommend it for even an experienced programmer - figuring out the legacy Sony spaghetti is a nightmare that I still get confused over, after a couple of years! [21:25] Module php5 already enabled [21:25] alarm: it actually links files (modules) from /etc/apach2/mods-available to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled [21:25] lets see [21:25] quick way is, sudo tasksel install lamp-server [21:25] really, saves lot of headaches [21:26] Nicador: Is it a laptop system?

[21:46] Sure. Anything I attempt to install (from any source, such as synaptic, apt-get, etc...) tries to pull in language-pack-en-base, and it hangs while "Generating locales".

[21:52] ok [21:52] jrib: 4.58 [21:52] fx3_: That sounds like some are using SMB NETBIOS for name resolution, maybe even WINS. [21:52] * jrib sighs [21:52] anyone have this problem with the nvidia driver [21:53] IntuitiveNipple, is it possible to get every machine to use this too? [21:53] AndryZ: does it say "Installed: (none)"? [21:53] hey is jaunty have a new look? [21:53] sync350: no, both are 4.58 [21:53] fx3_: It's a lot of overhead and not fool-proof. I've always configured networks to use DNS since it is much more reliable and controllable. [21:54] hi all, I'm using jaunty beta and after a update, my system is extremely slow.. [21:54] AndryZ: try "sudo apt-get install p7zip-full" to make sure it has all the packages [21:54] sync350: the problem is that it doesnt read only the archive created under windows XP [21:54] !jaunty [21:54] Jaunty Jackalope is the code for Ubuntu 9.04, due April 2009 - Lots of breakage between now and April - Please join #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support. [21:54] ok, and last question, can if i point my router to use my server as DNS, and then point my server's DNS to my ISP's, is that a good idea? [21:54] jaunty alpha, sorry [21:54] is there an nvidia problem on 8.04 that could be fixed on 8.10? [21:55] ah ok thanks [21:55] Is there anyway to download language-pack-en-base and install it manually? [21:55] Silverwing: #ubuntu+1 might be a better place to ask questions on jaunty [21:55] fx3_: Yes, that'd work. The router will usually only be a DNS relay anyhow [21:55] IntuitiveNipple, at least that way i dont have to change all the config on clients [21:56] is it already leaving secondary DNS server set to my ISP's incase my server fails? [21:56] Question, How to change qt themes from gnome? [21:56] fx3_: It's worth investigating your router find out if there may be a command-line interface /telnet to do configuration the web interface doesn't allow [21:57] Sometimes after reboot the desktop icons are moved into the top half of the screen. The background and the panels are working properly but it is impossible to reposition the icons. After a reboot everything returns to work. Any ideas? (intrepid, gnome) [21:57] what is the name of the taskbar in gnome? [21:57] has anyone noticed that when vmware player (2.5.1) is running (WinXP at least), Shift-Ctrl-V in gnome-terminal doesn't work? [21:57] IntuitiveNipple, no mine doesnt have anything like that [21:57] I did something and the icons on my ubuntu-desktop have changed. [21:58] I used to have a question mark icon on the top menu and now I have a saving weel [21:58] How do I revert the change? [21:58] anyone used partimage before? [21:58] l337ingDisorder: yes [21:58] Davedan what was the something that you did? [21:58] IntuitiveNipple - glitsj16 thnx alot guys .. it worked for me .. : ) [21:58] Davedan: familiar with the command-line aspect of it? [21:58] Bobber: I don't know [21:59] l337ingDisorder: no. I used the graphical interface [21:59] balls. [21:59] l337ingDisorder: sorry [21:59] excuse me, I'm using tightvnc and I need to start up everything command by command, what is the name of the taskbar in gnome? [21:59] Davedan: thanks anyway :) [21:59] is it safe to delete the kernel sources under /usr/src? [22:00] tangentcollision: do you meant the entire bar or just the taskbar aspect of the bar? The whole bar is gnome-panel [22:00] kx1: glad the issue is solved, yw === extreme is now known as aleX-xx [22:00] tangentcollision: not sure the name of the tasks applet within the bar === fuzzor is now known as mcstinky [22:00] gnome-panel should work [22:00] fx3_: you want to use your router to be the nameserver of the lanhosts, and the router to obtain the dns info by another nameserver? [22:01] 1337ingDisorder...damnit [22:01] yes, Failasaur , that way i wont have to repoint all my computer to use the new DNS server [22:01] apperently it doesn't work through VNC [22:01] fx3_: what's your router running ? [22:01] its a bit of a zigzag really [22:02] Failasaur, its a netgear DG834G home router [22:02] fx3_: I'd guess it's possible to configure it as a dns relay ? [22:03] tangentcollision: other approach: why do you use vnc instead ssh -X ? [22:03] !gnome-panel [22:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome-panel [22:03] question about scripts: I'm getting an error when attempting to run a script (./test_rsync) but when I execute the commands individually they work fine. Can someone take a look at this and tell me why? http://paste.ubuntu.com/120319/ [22:03] Failasaur, just trying to find out (i havent seen an option in the configs) [22:04] guntbert: windows [22:04] xp with tightvnc [22:04] skorasaurus: ask for packages with !info [22:04] Hi people, someone knows where can i can informations about the installation of Wireless board Broadcom 4322G ? [22:04] Hi, I got a ubuntu that answer all my comands in german, how can I change to make it speak english to me ? ;] [22:04] hi, my gnome panel was on the top of my desktop, but it's now on the right-hand side, i haven't figured out how to move it back [22:05] !info gnome-panel [22:05] gnome-panel (source: gnome-panel): launcher and docking facility for GNOME. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.24.1-0ubuntu2.1 (intrepid), package size 379 kB, installed size 1116 kB [22:05] Skorasauras: just drag an unused portion of it [22:05] Skorasauras, it won't look like anything is happening until you release the mouse. [22:05] Huufarted, thanks. [22:05] tangentcollision: thats no problem, I use cygwin/X, that exists even portable, with portable putty [22:05] hey, my laptop still continues playing sound on internal speakers when i plug in the headphones, and there doesn't seem to be an option in the mixer to turn only the internal speakers off; how do i fix this? [22:05] is there a way to prevent from have that happening again ? [22:06] fx3_: basically, your router should either 1.function as a namerver where your clients ask the queries. The router has it's own dns server set. 2. The router takes all the client's queries and forwards them to a configured dns server, this usually is the router's dns server. [22:06] Failasaur, no i dont think it does, i mean it relays DNS queries from computers and forwards them to my ISP's DNS [22:06] guntbert: I've tried for days to get putty + x to work, it just doesn't for me [22:06] guntbert: I use VNC, it works fine, I have no problems [22:06] fx3_: but you don't want that ? [22:06] guntbert: the only problem I have is that I have no taskbar [22:07] Hi everyone. Is here anyone familiar with SGE? [22:07] skorasaurus, lock it, right mouse clik and select the proper menu list [22:07] Failasaur, i dont thing that would work to be honest... [22:07] Sun Grid Engine I mean [22:07] fx3_: so you don't want the forwarding, you want a local cache nameserver [22:07] Failasaur, im trying to give names to my lan hosts [22:08] Hello. I am looking at my samba shares, I am able to see the files , etc. However when I go to copy them to the desktop it asks for me to login and a password/user name. However, there is no password to them in windows. How do I fix this? Do I need to put in a fake user/password ? [22:08] tangentcollision: I saw your problem, have no solution, tried a different approach - sorry if it is no help :) [22:08] !samba [22:08] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [22:08] Hi there, can someone tell me how to mount a cdrom in the command line? [22:08] i think i have really messed up my xorg.conf [22:08] fx3_: how many hosts are there to run linux in that lan ? [22:08] absolutely wonderful, I got my taskbar :D [22:08] guntbert: screen gnome-panel [22:09] Failasaur, cant find any such option in the router, i just know that all computers have the router as its DNS server, and the router has my ISP's dns server, and i dont want to change all computers' setup [22:09] jrib: I think the problem of the 7zip archive have been caused by corruption of data. could you suggest me a command to veryfy the CRC or MD5 hashes? [22:09] Failasaur, unless of course that would be the simplest way to do it. [22:09] What Firefox version is the newest version for Gutsy Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10) in the repositories? [22:09] tangentcollision: glad it works, thank you for reporting back, I'll remember that [22:09] hello [22:09] Failasaur, how many hosts are linux? just one. rest are windows. and a linux server [22:09] guntbert: no problem, lol xD [22:09] fx3_: but what's wrong with your current setup ? [22:10] Jockeo, check http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [22:10] Failasaur, i cant use names to access my server from my windows computers [22:10] as in, i would like to type in 'server' [22:10] is there any way to pipe audio through VNC? [22:10] skorasaurus: Thanks [22:10] and get the ip of the linux server, 10.0.1.11 [22:10] while playing back a video file in mplayer i get a "frame skip 8 error" and have to press ok, it seems whenever there is a frame skip it gives me this popup during playback, how do i disable the popup? [22:10] fx3_: ah i see [22:10] nas [22:11] Failasaur, im sorry if my explanations have been off, i cant wrap my head around this topic yet [22:11] AndryZ: did you check if p7zip can verify it? (man 7z suggests: 7z t) [22:11] Jockeo: look on packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy [22:11] Failasaur, im trying to do this at home and at work, both having similar problems, windows computers with one unix server [22:12] fx3_: you want to name lan hosts ips, in addition to internet urls. As in "ping server1.localnet" and also "ping www.kernel.org", right ? [22:12] fx3_: Ahhh, you want it from the Windows PCs... add them to /media/Vista/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts [22:12] fx3_: or even, \Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts [22:13] IntuitiveNipple, Failasaur yea, but without changing the hosts file on every single machines (my work is a computer repair shop, we get 10s of comuters every day and i dont want to modify hosts on each of them) [22:14] Can someone look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/120319/ and tell me why this script is erroring out? 755 permissions on the script and I can run the commands individually, just not from a shell script [22:14] I am italian student [22:14] Failasaur, yes, that would be very nice, but maybe without the .localhost, just have them override everything [22:14] fx3_: In that case, use dnsmasq and have a proper set-up [22:14] my namens is patrizia [22:14] fx3_: at work you will have a dhcp-server, and that can assign any DNS-servers you like [22:14] Huufarted, at the start of the script, type the line #!/bin/bash [22:14] wehere channel italian ubuntu? [22:15] hatter243, thanks! [22:15] I can see more then 10 eclipse related packaes on the package manager. How do I know which one to install? [22:15] guntbert, well, we have a similar home router that i have at home. not a dedicated computer that deals out DHCP. [22:15] Huufarted, alternatively you could do "bash test_rsync" [22:15] !it | patrizia [22:15] patrizia: 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) [22:15] IntuitiveNipple, ill have a bash at dnsmasq but id line to keep hdcp on the router if possible [22:16] so my google skills fail me. I'm trying to setup sudoers so that a specific user can run "sudo -u otheruser command" without a password [22:16] fx3_: or setup a cache nameserver in that linux server in your lan, add a zone for your lan there with the ips and names. Then make your hosts have primary dnsserver this linux server, and secondary nameserver the router. [22:16] jrib: i know the CRC hash for that file, i just want to generate the same hash for the file on ubuntu [22:16] could i change the primary nameserver of my router to point to the linux server? Failasaur [22:16] fx3_: You might confuse the issue. Let dnsmasq do the entire job and save any confusion. [22:16] I know I can ls the contents of a folder, but how would I ls home and it's sub folders? [22:17] what you guys think is the best irc client for ubunto? [22:17] konversation [22:17] sebsebseb: ls -R [22:17] konversation [22:17] fx3_: well all routers I know (all 3 ;-)) have the option to configure what is sent out via dhcp === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [22:17] !xchat | lock [22:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about xchat [22:17] irssi :P [22:17] bah... lock, use XChat [22:17] xchat LOL Konversation :) [22:17] Can anyone help me whit this, im stuck ? :) http://www.swiatechs.com/error.txt [22:18] fx3_: maybe not. What does that server use as a dnsserver ? [22:18] will 8.04 have ext4 ver 8.04.2? [22:18] 8.04.3 [22:18] probably the router [22:18] tnx im using xchat now [22:19] fx3_: i mean, what does your router use as dnsserver, and what does your linuxbox use as a dnsserver ? [22:19] hey guys, i just did apt-get build-dep php5 and it installed a big load of packages. is there an easy way to remove them all? [22:19] Chousuke: thanks a lot and it's fun to watch the terminal do it, I got a lot of stuff in there [22:19] lock, xchat, [22:19] Swiatecki, your error pasting is very courteous preventing flooding, however I'm going to give you an easier alternative: http://paste.ubuntu.com [22:19] hmm. [22:19] fx3_: they can't just use each other in a loop [22:19] router uses my ISP's DNS servers, and linux box uses my router's IP for DNS [22:19] Can anyone tell me how I mount a floppy in the command line? /dev/fd0 doesn't seem to exist. [22:20] msikma: wow, I haven't even seen a floppy in years :) [22:20] im thinking if hosts requrst DNS from the router, which in turn requests DNS from the linux server, which in turn requests DNS from my ISP [22:20] that way i only need to configure 2 places. [22:20] not what your wife said.. [22:20] msikma, do you have a mount point for it [22:20] sorry, it was begging [22:20] Chousuke: neither has Linux, most likely [22:20] /mnt/floppy or /media/floppy [22:20] which package do I need for eclipse? I can see several packages named 'eclipse' on the package manager [22:20] nah, no floppy since pc 486 [22:20] zleap: well, I made /media/floppy but have nothing to mount on it [22:20] fx3_: you could do that. [22:21] hmm [22:21] nothing in /dev [22:21] Anything else I can look for except fd0, 1, n [22:21] ? [22:21] but what sort of DNS stuff should be running on the linux box? whats the simplest setup? [22:21] Can anyone tell me the name of the program that is the PDF viewer on ubuntu? [22:21] named sounds like something id want [22:21] fx3 bind [22:21] msikma: the floppy driver might not be loaded. [22:21] hmm i have nothing in fstab either [22:21] Augh I pressed Super + R === fx3_ is now known as fx3 [22:22] Chousuke: do I need to modprobe something? [22:22] It made everything blurry [22:22] And zoomed in [22:22] How do I reset it [22:22] fx3_: a nameserver install. They usually install defaults to a cache nameserver [22:22] soreau: the default viewer is "File Viewer" [22:22] soreau: there is Adobe PDF reader for ubuntu [22:22] fx3: but that machine should be able to reach your isp-s namserver [22:22] Yes, I want to know the name of the binary [22:22] danfg: look at http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2006-11/msg02561.html for one possible way to remove build-dep installed packages [22:22] Huufarted: eseven73: I want to know what it's called in /usr/bin [22:23] msikma: I really can't remember. [22:23] Hi people, someone knows where can i can informations about the installation of Wireless board Broadcom 4322G ? [22:23] !nic [22:23] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [22:23] soreau: ah, that i dont know sorry :) [22:23] Failasaur, if i could draw a little picture everything could be clear [22:23] Ok, let me restate the question more completely then [22:24] glitsj16: thanks :) [22:24] soreau: in terminal type "apropos pdf" [22:24] hi. [22:24] AndryZ: crc checks are built into 7z [22:24] hmm. [22:24] fx3: you'd need a cache nameserver. Get bind installed [22:24] danfg: very welcome, had in my bookmarks :) [22:24] msikma: ah, right. there's also the mtools package [22:24] Is there any ubuntu shipped tool to create a FULL (stage 1 I think) system backup ? [22:24] mtools [22:24] I'll see if I can get that [22:25] should be in the repos [22:25] http://www.mtools.linux.lu/ [22:25] Why do I have to put my volume all the way up to the mid point to start hearing audio? The mid point should be pretty loud. [22:25] should i have a swap if i am installing ubuntu as a VBOX guest ? [22:25] Anyone? [22:25] This is totally weird [22:26] Ahoj, je tu někdo kdo nespí a mohl by mi odpovědět? [22:26] where can i find a program to format usb stick in ubuntu8.10 [22:26] spaceBARbarian: vbox is one of the virtualisation options ? [22:26] witout terminal [22:27] hi, my nm-applet does not appear, i verified that it's enabled in the sessions configuration, and restarted gdm. [22:27] ivnrca: what do want to do, what do you mean format? [22:27] Chousuke: that didn't quite work to list a folder and the contents of it's sub folders hummm [22:27] erase all the data [22:27] Augh guys I really need help [22:27] Ask Royall [22:27] with? [22:28] I pressed Super + R [22:28] And it zoomed in and made everything blurry and I can't get it back [22:28] ivnrca:you cant right click and get the refoemat option? [22:28] Failasaur: yeah [22:28] Question, How to change qt themes from gnome? [22:28] Royall, compiz? [22:28] Why do I have to put my volume all the way up to the mid point to start hearing audio? The mid point should be pretty loud. [22:28] Royall: Windows Key + Scroll Wheel on mouse [22:28] royall did you try Super+Middle mouse ? [22:28] It doesn't seem to be doing anything [22:28] does anyonne know if i should or shouldnt use a swap when installing ubuntu on VBOX ? [22:29] I got up this morning and saw that there were new updates. I started running them about an hour ago. (it was only 6-7 packages). Now when I try to install anything (even when it was doing the upgrade itself I get this: http://chriswalker.elementfx.com/irc/broken_system.png how can I fix this? [22:29] Droopsta915, double-click the volume icon and set the Alsa Mixer [22:29] chu_: yes [22:29] how do i make the sound in firefox use my usb headset instead of the built in speaker? [22:29] im not sure, ill try it. thanks. can u help me to repair the sound in wolfestein enemy territory? [22:29] spaceBARbarian: i'd say it would need swap. It would know little of the virtualisation and will seek to manage memory on it's own. Unless vbox says you don't need it as it will handle the swap requests. [22:29] spacebarbarian: I would treat the guest as a real machine, so yes I would have some swap space [22:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/119452/ [22:30] Royall, do you have ccsm installed? [22:30] Not sure-- what does it stand for? [22:30] I think I may [22:30] thanks [22:30] Ergh, spotty internet today. Not fun. [22:31] !ccms [22:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about ccms [22:31] !ccsm [22:31] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [22:31] Yea I think I have that [22:31] ifroog: have you seen packages qt"-qtconfig and qt4-qtconfig ? both can do what you want (for qt3 and qt4 apps respectively) [22:31] Huufarted eseven73 guntbert It was evince. Thanks for your help though [22:31] compiz rocks [22:31] evince? [22:31] Huufarted: I have it set to ati ixp (alsa Mixer). Should I change it? [22:31] ifrrog: that's qt3-qtconfig, correction [22:31] soreau well i prefere Adobe Reader ;P [22:31] Droopsta915, how are the mixer levels set in there? [22:32] Oh there we go [22:32] eseven73: That doesn't answer the question I asked, but anyway [22:32] It was the Advanced Desktop Zoom [22:32] Why is that button called "Super"? [22:32] I dunno [22:32] It's thuper [22:32] Someone yestersay said to hit Super M [22:32] Which was cool [22:32] Super is the Windows key fo rme [22:32] for me* [22:33] same, Royall. [22:33] soreau yeah I know sorry :( but at least now we know what the binary is thanks :) [22:33] Huufarted: I tryed different combos, right now the PCM is all the way up. [22:33] althoug i disabled everything about screensaver i could find, after 30 minutes my screen goes black. Did search the settings, did xset -dpms, couldnt find anything anywhere. Anyone ideas how to disable this behaviour? [22:33] Droopsta915, I had the same issue and maxing the mixer levels worked for me. Sorry. [22:33] can someone help me troubleshoot a VNC connection through an SSH tunnel? I got the tunnel working fine, my problem seems to be at my end of the link [22:33] if i have openssh-server setup, and the system reboots while im out of town, i should still beable to ssh in right? [22:34] Huufarted: Would ati ixp alsa Mixer be the best thing to use? [22:34] what would it reboot by itself? [22:34] eseven73: Is Adobe Reader included in ubuntu repos btw, and if so what's the package name? [22:34] its called a 3yr old [22:34] I'm running Gutsy Gibbon. Is it safe to enable "gutsy-backports" and install newer versions of several applications? (Or are backported applications more buggy?) [22:34] jcase: as long as it's on the same IP and the SSH service was set up to start, yes [22:34] heh [22:34] droopsta915, not sure. I wouldn't have the best situation for you since that one didn't work. [22:34] jcase: ssh starts when the computer is booted so yes [22:34] eseven73: power cycle? [22:34] Bthanks [22:34] Brandano: check your private messages [22:34] jcase: if the tree year old doesnt shut the computer off obviously [22:34] Hello I am a Ubuntu and Linux Nooby.. need help with something quite basic..

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [22:35] but i dont want someone to log in [22:35] ah [22:35] soreau I seriously doubt it, I think it' is in the !medibuntu repos though [22:35] jcase: no need. even if nobody logs in ssh daemon should start when the boot process is complete [22:35] eseven73: Ok. Thanks for the suggestion [22:35] !medibuntu > soreau [22:35] ok [22:35] soreau, please see my private message [22:35] thats what i wanted to make sure of [22:35] jcase: just for security however you should configure your firewall to drop ssh traffic from certain ips [22:36] notwist, i dont know what ip i would be connectio nfrom [22:36] my problem is no sound in wolfestein enemy territory, this is my terminal log http://paste.ubuntu.com/119452/ [22:36] gaintsura: Where did you get python-wxgtk 2.8 2.8.9.2-0? That package has a syntax error but that isn't an Ubuntu archive package version. [22:36] jcase: having an ssh server open towards the internet can be a bad thing [22:36] i know its not real security, but i have it on a random high number port, should keep most scanners away [22:36] eseven73: I have chosen to use xpdf, I was just curious if canonical would put any adobe stuff in the ubuntu repos ;) [22:36] jcase: well you could have the ssh firewall enabled most of the time and just disable it when you travel then [22:36] jcase: thats something :) [22:36] i do [22:37] i have my router block the port [22:37] IntuitiveNipple, oh while im building bind, i wanted to ask another networking question. say i have dyndns configured. and i would like a subdomain to point to a whole different server inside my network, is it possible? [22:37] Hi there. Anyone knows about http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/ ? [22:37] I want to make a gnome panel applet with python. I asked for help here earlier, just to be pointed to #python. Tried to join python, but I get an error saying I must be identified. I AM identified! A little help? [22:37] i plan to turn port forwarding for it on when i leave for my short trips [22:37] well, My mates puter is not connected to the internet and he needs his Rhythmbox upgraded to play some codes for MP3 etc. Now i downloaded gstream (gstream extra plugin and the mpeg plugin) archive files for him, copied them to his computer but can't get them installed... HELP [22:37] codecs** [22:37] mac9416: Ask in #freenode to make sure you're identified correctly [22:37] IntuitiveNipple: it was a dependency of something I installed, don't remember what, it was some time ago [22:38] soreau lets hope they don't, It's nice to be able to be free of licensing at least once and a while :) [22:38] LightKnight, yea i know about it, use it every day, its awesome, how can i help you? [22:38] gaintsura: Well it appears to have a syntax error in the file, as the error-report shows, so you'll need to fix that. [22:39] fx3: Booting from the CD, I'm dropped to an initramfs prompt where there's colse to nothing. What now? [22:39] *close to [22:39] soreau and free from bloat too haha! sorry im off topic shutting up now ... [22:39] LightKnight, thats where do you your magic. what are you trying to do? [22:39] IntuitiveNipple: indeed, I'll be fixing it locally, but I'm not a python guy, and the guys in #python pointed me at #wxwidgets.. so I'm there now.. [22:39] LightKnight, eh, hold on, initramfs?? [22:39] fx3: recover data from an almost-died HD (it's a laptop). [22:39] fx3: yeah, initramfs. [22:40] soreu: Thanks. [22:40] fx3: subdomain host would only be possible if the router forwards all expected ports to the target server [22:40] fx3: no ddrescue, no photorec, no utilities, nothing. [22:41] LightKnight, hmm, looks like your laptop isnt booting it properly here is a thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=591746 [22:41] fx3: tries to mount the HD, utterly fails, drops me in nowhere land. [22:41] IntuitiveNipple, like a DMZ? [22:41] fx3: thank you, let's see... [22:41] could someone please tell me the IP address of trial.thepiratebay.org? [22:42] nvm, got it elsewhere [22:42] gaintsura: Okay... it looks like they've tried to use the relative form incorrectly: "from" relative_module "import" identifier [22:42] fx3: shouldn't it boot from CD entirely? [22:42] fx3: Well, a DMZ routes everything to the target. [22:43] LightKnight, theoretically it should almost always be fine from CD, but maybe you have some problem with hardware too [22:43] best bet is to put the harddrive in another more stable computer [22:43] LightKnight, if the laptop has bad ram that could have destroyed your harddrive easily [22:43] fx3: oh. [22:43] anyone have any experience setting up nameservers with bind ? [22:44] fx3: Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 0 [22:44] wolfestein enemy territory (no sound) http://paste.ubuntu.com/119452/ [22:44] fx3: and several DriveSeekStatus (or something) errors. [22:44] Sal__, lol, im trying to do the same thing [22:44] fx3 your trying to setup host nameservers? [22:44] how do i install downloaded codecs to a stand-alone linux puter? (is it even possible?) [22:44] Sal__, just compiled bind, trying to give my LAN ips propper dns names [22:45] heh [22:45] fx3: Sal__ setting up name servers is a bit beyond the topic of this channel :) [22:45] Tyr: Well... not with the standard repositories, not the straight win32 codecs, and if you are on a 64 bit box some codecs might not be available... other than that google "mplayer" and "medibuntu" [22:45] cron question: Am I correct in assuming 'sudo' is never needed when being executed through cron? [22:46] you can't install bind with sudo apt-get install bind9 ? [22:46] guntbert theres nowhere else to go for help ;l [22:46] and im on ubuntu [22:46] brb trying something [22:46] anyone know how i can change the hostname of my box? [22:46] guess they are players that include the necessary codecs to play anything [22:46] Sal__: ask in ##networking [22:46] LightKnight: What is the output of grep -R -i snddevice ~/.etwolf/etmain/etconfig.cfg [22:46] !google | Sal__ [22:46] Sal__: google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux [22:46] Huufarted: Correct, sudo is not needed in cron's root. [22:47] !hostname | Sal__ [22:47] Sal__: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at System > Administration > Networking on the "General" tab [22:47] soreau: uhm? [22:47] geirha, how do I set up root's cron instead of the default user's cron? [22:47] Huufarted: and if you think you need it in your user's cron, then you should instead use root's cron :) [22:47] LightKnight: If it says 'uhm?' something is very wrong [22:47] Huufarted: crontab -e # your cron. sudo crontab -e # root's cron [22:47] open source and google is todays solution for a lot of programmers today, isn't it :-p [22:47] Sorcererbob: no, no, wait a bit... I'm booting the thing :) [22:47] LightKnight, i think that wasnt for you [22:48] fx3: I thought so, thus I asked :) [22:48] Thanks, geirha. I'm setting up an automated rsync session, that's all. In order to mount an smb, it needs to be done under root as far as I can tell. [22:48] LightKnight, its crazily busy on here all day [22:48] fx3: I see :-) [22:48] Huufarted: You can add an entry for that mount in fstab, and allow regular users to mount it [22:48] Hello [22:48] Tyr mplayer is a media player that will play almost anything, and it will manage to use several win32 codecs. However, the codecs can't be packaged with Ubuntu, mainly for licensing reasons [22:49] in my /etc/hosts file it has: 216.75.63.173 mydomain.com ubuntu863173 [22:49] LightKnight, can you put the HD in some other PC? [22:49] what is the ubuntu863173 ? [22:49] ok, thanks :-) [22:49] alias ? [22:49] LightKnight, if you cant run memtest of rescue remix CD [22:49] if you cant, run memtest* [22:49] comma makes all the difference [22:49] LightKnight: It was for you and my nick isn't Sorcererbob [22:49] Tyr: however, explaining mplayer could take a bit too long. It has its own channel, ask there [22:49] Anybody know what program controls digital camera's being plugged in by USB (ie when I plug in my iPhone). I want to get it (or something similar) on ubuntu [22:49] fx3: It's a laptop, I'm not very clever on those :( [22:49] ubottu ? [22:49] err rww* i mean [22:50] fx3: Sal__: You'll need the wisdom here http://tldp.org/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO-5.html [22:50] soreau: damn tab :) OK, I'm booting and then report :) [22:50] LightKnight, when you boot rescue remix type memtest at boot: prompt and leave it running for at least 1 pass === plazia_ is now known as plazia [22:50] thanks Fail [22:50] hey fail any idea on the /etc/hosts ? [22:50] how can I improve ( or a least test ) disk write speed to a USB flash drive? [22:50] ok... next question: how do i install software (like mplayer) without a connection to the internet [22:50] Sal__: what about them ? [22:51] my /etc/hosts file has : 216.75.63.173 mydomain.com ubuntu863173 [22:51] Failasaur, thanks, assimilating =) [22:51] what is ubuntu863173 ? [22:51] an alias ? can i remove it? [22:51] fx3: oh, OK :) [22:51] Tyr, I don't understand what you mean. What is this "without a connection to the internet" you speak of? :) [22:51] Sal__: the hosts file maps ip's to hostnames. It's one of the names that will resolve to that ip [22:51] so its an alias brandano ? [22:51] should be, yes. Just try pinging it [22:51] its a stand alone computer. the wireless ethernet card is not connected to any network or the www [22:52] i do have another computer with internet access however [22:52] rsync question for anybody that knows. sudo rsync -rltDvh --delete /media/atom1_media/Music/ /music <-- will this command ensure a mirrored copy of the directory mounted to /media/atom1_media/Music? [22:52] Tyr: itt's a pretty pointless wireless card, then [22:52] Tyr, Synaptic has a cache, it doesn't *need* an internet connection if you can store the packages in the cache. Find out what package you need.. [22:52] fx3: OK, running... [22:52] ok so after i change all this [22:52] IntuitiveNipple: right... I see that too, but again, asking for help in python and wxwidgets left me with no response [22:52] i should just restart inetd ? [22:52] Tyr: In synaptic, find the package, mark it for install, then at the top-left menu you can choose to create a download script that will download all needed packages [22:52] anyone here play wolf:et or true combate elite? [22:52] Just wait, I'm finding the location of the cahe for you. [22:52] Huufarted: I suggest using unison, not rsync wiehn dealing with music. [22:52] cache* [22:52] Hi, I've got what I believe to be an xorg.conf problem on an old IBM i Series Thinkpad. I get a black screen whenever I try to launch X. This happens for both Gnome and now Xfce as well. [22:53] LightKnight, if there aren any major ram problems you should see errors raking in quickly [22:53] Sal__: to what i know /etc/hosts editing works right away [22:53] rhys, I would but the other machine is a WindowsXP machine and I can't get Unison to work that way. May I ask why Unison over rsync? [22:53] i keep getting kicked by punkbuster saying violation #20004 game integrity [22:53] Tyr: you might also want to look at aptoncd [22:53] It does so on Win32, I'd find it odd if it didn't on a real OS === braden_ is now known as meoblast [22:53] Tyr, check out /var/cache/apt/archives to see what is there. [22:53] ok [22:53] heh im logged in and its still showing up user@oldmask [22:53] hi [22:53] guess i need to relogin ? [22:54] !who | Sal__ [22:54] Sal__: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [22:54] how can i view a files permissions at the terminal? [22:54] LightKnight, have you read that thread i posted? [22:54] kk [22:54] B1OS: ls -l [22:54] B10S, : ls -l file === Niamor7 is now known as Niamor [22:54] Sal__: Have you tried a reboot? [22:55] burn [22:55] fx3: it's rather long, I've got it still under hand :) [22:55] Hi, I have a laptop and want to dual boot. I read through the faq but have some questions . I already installed XP on laptop (10gb) I have 20gb free - I am in the manual partition setup now. I wanted 10gb free for ubuntu / 2gb for swap / and remainder for a shared folder for xp and ubuntu - I'm not sure on the order needed - right now i have [22:55] Huufarted: unison does a space/time trade off. It stores 500kb (for me) against my 50GB of music, and can synchronize both ways in a very short amount of time. Syncing from a windows machine never seems to work, as rsync can only check for a) timestamps which seem to be wrong and b) checksums which takes forever with alot of music. So rsync has a habit of transfering everything or nothing. [22:55] i need wolfet help, no sound problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/119452/ thanks [22:55] Failasaur: its still the old hostname :( [22:55] LightKnight, most of it you can ignore since they are talking about booting the OS from disk [22:55] user@ubuntu863173 [22:55] guntbert: thanks [22:55] mpeg [22:55] failasaur: event after i relogin :( [22:55] this is interesting [22:55] Sal__: you mean the prompt ? [22:55] yes [22:55] B1OS: yw [22:56] hi [22:56] i need some help [22:56] Sal__: cat /etc/hostname [22:56] the system clock says its 12:55 AM. how is this possible? shouldn't it say 00:55 AM? [22:56] hey meoblast [22:56] fx3: ok [22:56] how do you make a new screen in screen? [22:56] Thedoc, i liked installing Ubuntu from windows myself very much since all the other complete install options from the cd-boot seemed pretty destructive to my primary windows partition [22:56] rhys: I can't seem to get Unison to work when pulling data from the XP machine to my Linux box. [22:56] meoblast: not a good idea [22:56] Ctrl+Alt [22:56] meoblast: don't embed screens [22:56] Where x is 1 - 6? [22:56] ikonia: no i mean.. i need a new window [22:56] Failasaur: it's mydomain.com [22:56] LightKnight, ahh yea, its because the windows didnt shut down properly i thinks, sounds wierd but read last 2 pages [22:56] rhys: I'm really just wanting to mirror what's on my server, only updating what's on my laptop [22:56] meoblast: ctrl+a c [22:56] it was the ubuntu0000 [22:56] meoblast: gnome-terminal [22:57] Sal__: ? [22:57] rhys: that did nothing [22:57] ok nevermind [22:57] i got it [22:57] meoblast: :) [22:57] Failasure: I changed /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts both to use mydomain.com, but the prompt still comes up the user@ubuntu0000 [22:57] now how do i switch windows in irssi [22:57] meoblast: alt+number [22:57] Sal__, you have to relogin [22:58] fx3: i did [22:58] fx3: no change [22:58] should i have the prepare partitions like this: sda1(ntfs) is my XP / sda5(ext3) is my swap 2gb / sda6(ext3) is where ubuntu install goes? / sda7 - should i put this to ext3 or FAT32 if i want both OS's to see folder? [22:58] Sal__, did you change it with command 'sudo hostname ' [22:58] Huufarted: rdiff-backup maybe? i just find rsync can only fix files that exist on one but not the other, but when you go to update ID3 tags, it cant tell. [22:58] Ubuntu can work with NTFS :-D [22:58] that will change it at runtime [22:58] Tyr: it is not advisable to install ubuntu to ntfs [22:58] fx3: if i type hostname, it returns my domain [22:58] what is your new hostname? [22:58] ok..... now how do i get that program up where i can disable programs from startup? [22:58] gaintsura: I stay as far away from python as possible, but... [22:58] Sal__: that hostname command above might do it [22:58] Sal__: hostname returns your hostname [22:58] fx3: mydomain.com [22:58] Question, How to change qt themes from gnome? [22:58] erm, i installed to NTFS using the "install from windows" option [22:58] Failasaur: just tried it, no change :l [22:58] meoblast, find sessions? [22:59] Sal__, then type 'sudo hostname mydomain.com' [22:59] rhys, so if I update the ID3 tags, it won't update that modified file back to my Ubuntu box the next time I rsync? [22:59] Tyr: ahh wubi [22:59] i know [22:59] meoblast, System->Preferences perhaps. [22:59] thedoc^: The file system doesn't matter too much.. xp can r/w ext3 and linux can r/w ntfs [22:59] I never use sudo [22:59] newb me [22:59] sudo is such a security hazard [22:59] gaintsura: According to this link the relative form .. was introduced in 2.5 but I note that the error is in 2.4 (http://docs.python.org/tutorial/modules.html#intra-package-references) [22:59] fx3: already did, no change [22:59] thedoc^: Probably better to stick with ntfs and ext3 [22:59] soreau: How do I get my XP box to r/w ext3? [22:59] Huufarted:) [22:59] tangentcollision: ?? [22:59] and logout after that too? === odder_ is now known as odder [22:59] Huufarted: Google it, there is a driver [22:59] what's wrong with sudo? [22:59] guntbert: su is a lot more secure [23:00] cya guys, ill try to get help later. thanks. http://paste.ubuntu.com/119452/ [23:00] soreau, checking for it now. [23:00] tangentcollision: please don't talk nonsense [23:00] lol yeah no joke .. [23:00] tangentcollision: they both use the same authentication library [23:00] sudo lets you run scripts as root reguardless of what they are [23:00] Huufarted: It will check the time stamps, and between windows/linux I have not had good luck with that. I feel like I have been doing something wrong, but I have never been able to get that to work. You cant check by checksums. So unison works much much better. [23:00] tangentcollision: thats simply not true [23:00] chu_: no i need to disable gdm [23:00] fx3: no errors in memtest by now... [23:00] tangentcollision: please - if you don't understand the words you are saying - don't speak [23:00] how do i disable GDM? [23:00] sudo devs advise against it [23:00] tangentcollision: it is not nice to miss-lead people [23:00] tangentcollision: there is an admin group. [23:01] Rhys, what if the windows share is mounted locally on Ubuntu? Does that not work, either? [23:01] lol good stuff [23:01] meoblast, there should be an option to load gdm, it should be the last "process" in the sessions screen. [23:01] Is it possible to automatically answer or disable the 'key fingerprint' prompt for ssh? [23:01] rhys, or does it still not translate the modified times properly? [23:01] how would you chowm of /var/www/php.php (just the file php.php) ? [23:01] Huufarted: expecially there. I tried. [23:01] LightKnight, i dont know, im not experienced enough. youll have to wait till one of the more experienced people can answer this question [23:01] okay, so call my opinion a fallaxy [23:01] fallacy [23:01] chu_: i remember this being possible via CLI [23:01] meoblast: man update-rc.d === Lazyshot is now known as Cybicool [23:01] fx3: OK, thank you for now :) [23:01] Huufarted: got it working! I had the wrong loopback address in my tunnel settings [23:01] rhys, well then I'll let you know what I find. I'll try and get Unison working again. [23:01] Congrats, Brandano. :) [23:01] meoblast, most probably :p [23:01] B10S: sudo chown user:group /var/www/php.php [23:01] IntuitiveNipple: would adding the python2.5 package help or do I need to remove 2.4 first? [23:01] Huufarted: unison is sweet for me. [23:02] LightKnight, it might possibly has something to do with either your architecture 32 bit, 64bit or what they are talking about in the forum thread, vista not properly shut down [23:02] Rhys, do you use it on your Linux machine to pull from XP? [23:02] geirha: i remember there being an interface with checkboxes i could uncheck [23:02] geirha: 8 per program === cary_ is now known as Commie_Cary [23:02] Huufarted: all linux. sorry. i don't use windows at all. [23:02] fx3: It's Windows XP, don't think it's a 64. [23:02] rhys: With rsync you can use checksum comparisons using -c === Cybicool is now known as Lazyshot [23:02] err [23:02] fx3: now its coming up user@alias [23:02] fx3: instead of user@mydomain.com [23:03] IntuitiveNipple: i know that, and it takes forever and is idiotic to do each sync with 50gbs of music files. [23:03] soreau - okay does the order of the swap file matter? i have it like : sda1(ntfs)34% xp is on here sda5(ext3) 6% is my swap file(2gb) sda6(ext3) 33%(ubuntu) sda7(ext3) 25% for both OS's i guess... i set up no mount points - and selected "logical" and "beginning" is this ok? [23:03] rhys, yeah. That's the dilemma for me. If I had an extra Terabyte HDD floating around, I'd install Ubuntu on it and move everything to that. [23:03] Sal__, what happends when you type just hostname? [23:03] but I don't [23:03] geirha: i know about the patience and me needing to be patient but i have to leave soon and this is urgent i have gdm disabled [23:03] shows mydomain.com [23:03] Sal__: find where you put that alias word and edit it ? [23:03] Fail: i just did [23:03] Huufarted: 5 harddrives, ~2TB on that machine [23:03] meoblast: Can't remember seeing any program like that I'm afraid [23:03] Sal__, are you sure your prompt is set correctly? [23:03] in what path should I put eclipse on ubuntu? [23:03] pretty sure [23:03] geirha: no one ever told me i could only s witch between 2 windows in screen at a time [23:03] thedoc^: The ordering does not matter from a technical standpoint. But, some take their partitioning scheming almost as an art form ;) [23:04] eos anyone know of the program that i can use to disable GDM? [23:04] gaintsura: I'm not sure, if you've got a set of site-packages in 2.4 - the key issue looks to be that that python-wxgtk-2.8 includes 2.5 specific syntax. You could try installing your python apps to 2.5 and using 2.5 as your default, but I'm not sure how that would affect whatever you use them for [23:04] meoblast: disable the init script [23:04] Failasaur: do i leave the group as is? [23:04] ikonia: how? [23:04] meoblast: update-rc.d or remove the script [23:04] heh now its stuck on the alias [23:04] ugh so aggrivating ;l [23:04] meoblast: google suggests services-admin [23:05] geirha: i'll try that [23:05] Failasaur: and change user to my user [23:05] B10S: if you want to leave it as is then just sudo chown user /var/www/php.php [23:05] rhys: Ahh sorry, from the fragments of what I saw you say I thought your problem was not trusting time-stamps :) [23:05] thedoc^, : and windows can't read ext3, will be beter in fat or ntfs [23:05] as soon as retarded screen will let me get to my third screen [23:05] I have no system sound, but i can hear all the other sound(movies, youtube, etc...) Does anyone know why this would be happening? [23:05] Is there a way I can run the network install from a normal ubuntu servfer install cd? [23:05] rhys: I used rsync -c recently to track down corruption in a 160GB transfer [23:05] Failasaur: thanks [23:06] screen sucks [23:06] georgy_28, yes it can, but with a driver [23:06] kind of like using the expert param? [23:06] B10S: np [23:06] meoblast: and rcconf seems to be a console equivalent [23:06] control A only switches between 2 screens at a time [23:06] and control a + number fails [23:06] kivod, : ok [23:06] IntuitiveNipple: yea, just found rsync not to be the best for music. timestamps are never right. OHHH. I just realized why Huufarted. defaults for most drives are "relatime" or similar. [23:06] meoblast: ctrl a n [23:06] guntbert: the letter n? [23:06] hello [23:06] gotcha, Rhys. Didn't think about that. [23:07] Huufarted: maybe. I never remember, and i use NTFS,JFS,EXT3, and Reiser...so I never remember. [23:07] Does anybody know how to install skype 3 on linux? [23:07] meoblast: screen works nicely for me ... [23:07] meoblast: yes, for "next" [23:07] right - soreau - cool, i needed 2 partitions as i mentioned - 1 for ubuntu and 1 for both OS's - i can leave them as EXT3 ? do i leave these all logical and what about the "location for the new partion?" what does beginning vs end mean? thanks again - i just didnt want to screw this up... never did a dual boot [23:07] jhonnyboy: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcanberra/+bug/273507 might be helpfull [23:07] french?

[23:09] is it safe to delete the kernel sources under /usr/src? [23:09] thedoc^: TBH, I am not going to walk you through this completely. I will restate what I've already said which is that you should stick with ext3 and ntfs since both are practical and both are r/w from either OS. The ubuntu live install makes it very easy to scheme your partitions. If you do not like it, you can simply reorganize them again [23:10] you dont have any ubuntu live CDs around? they are worth their weight in low quality gold =) [23:10] Huufarted: that's what I'm using, but I dislike the inconsistent styling. [23:10] fx3: lol ;) [23:10] fx3: uhm, IIRC, not :-P [23:10] Hi [23:10] Huufarted: and even it is kind of weak when it comes to compilation albums. [23:11] anyone here play true combat elite?

[23:24] i repartitioned the hard drive ok however i fiddled with the advanced settings which resulted in the boot loader not being installed now i cannot get ubuntu off the live session, i changed the default setting from (hd0) to (sdb) which did not work i restarted hoping i could format the new partitions however they are locked when i boot the live cd again [23:24] BlackBeast: Why would you want to do such a thing? ;) [23:24] mrwes: runs the process in the background [23:24] KevDog, Ok..thought so, how to I get back to that job? [23:24] mrwes: be aware though that you can't close the terminal once you've done that. [23:24] mlissner, I found that out :) [23:24] mrwes: fg [23:24] BlackBeast: I think youi might be confusing "I am trying to uninstall Ubuntu" with " I am trying to install windows, and it's failing" [23:25] guntbert, Ok...and jobs -l will list the jobs? [23:25] thedoc^: You're right. ntfs was officially supported only a few or more years back. Before then, FAT32 was required [23:25] BlackBeast: in any case, nothing that can't be fixed with fdisk [23:25] mrwes: I think that's right. [23:25] Just make sure you save ALL your data first [23:25] mrwes: I use jobs alone, but yes [23:25] mrwes: You can also do things like fg %1, which will bring the first process to the foreground. [23:26] mrwes: or fg %2, etc. [23:26] broadcom/aircrack users [23:26] ? [23:26] mlissner, Ok..I understand that. and ctrl + Z puts it back into the background? [23:26] any experienced server admins care to give me a hand with a broken package issue? it's not a simple question. it involves broken packages and apt wants to uninstall a LOT of base packages.

[23:27] matter of fact, I don't think it works at all [23:27] whenever someone is not busy and knows how to mount a flashdrive holla at me [23:27] mrwes: no prob. good luck getting to know the terminal. it's good stuff. [23:27] odd synaptic question - I installed a deb package (downloaded from getdeb) and it seems to have installed properly, however I can't find it in synaptic. I know this is wrong because its not how my computer at home works [23:27] DJNomad: What happens when you stick it in? === root is now known as Guest69586 [23:27] mlissner, yah I'm a fan of the terminal, I just have not used the jobs side of it [23:27] it shows (i have 2 ways of attaching it ) [23:28] DJNomad: I'm confused what the problem is then.... [23:28] its a 4 gig micro sd via usb cable through phone(says unmountable) or a usb card adapter says insert media [23:28] shows but wont mount [23:28] mlissner, is running jobs better than using screen? [23:29] stick it in? hrmm... [23:29] jk [23:29] hehe [23:29] mrwes: I haven't used screen, but I have a friend that swears by it. It seemed overly complicated to me. [23:29] thats the wrong slot [23:29] talntid: That info is incorrect. I can confirm they work together (at least part ofthe way)! === acer_ is now known as aspardam [23:30] DJNomad: I shouldn't profess too much knowledge on this. Maybe somebody else knows, but I think if you run fdisk, it will give you more info about it... [23:30] KevDog: you can successfully inject using broadcom? [23:30] i can also do it via bluetooth but it will only do my pics and not my songs [23:30] talntid: YES! [23:31] DJNomad: run dmesg after sticking it in and you should see that it attaches on sdx1 where x is some letter [23:31] nice, does it inject quickly? [23:31] talntid: I have no idea ofthe speed, using b43 driver/2.6.27 kernel [23:31] via ndiswrapper? [23:31] DJNomad: then mount -t vfat -o uid=username,gid=users /dev/sdx1 /media/usb [23:32] DJNomad: if you're trying to get info off a phone, good luck to you. They are a pain in many ways. [23:32] installed package not showing up in syaptic [23:32] talntid: Forget ndiswrapper -- you cant packet inject with ndiswrapper [23:32] mmm [23:32] Brandano: what? [23:33] hey need some help i resized my hard drive and installed ubuntu however i attempted to change where the boot loader is installed to and it failed during the install at 98% i am new to ubuntu and all linux distributions how can i install a boot loader so i can stop using the live session and reclaim my windows install (as it cannot find the MBR) [23:33] jj_galvez: odd indeed, using "dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall | grep " you might find out if it actually installed ok. Does that return anything usefull ? [23:33] Well, how's your system setup? Dual boot with windows? [23:33] hem, sorry, meeant that for BlackBeast and forgot the netiquette for a second [23:33] Brandano: well that's exactly the problem that i have [23:34] Brandano: sorry if my what was a little big! [23:34] that command(first one) came up w errors device not ready [23:34] yes windows is installed however i am attempting to dual boot windows with ubuntu [23:34] BlackBeast: ok, so what you want to do is to remove the boot manager and extend the fat32 partition back to the whole disk [23:34] glitsj16: that reports install [23:35] Brandano: yes!exactly,im trying to instal windows (not for me :S) [23:35] gnome-system-monitor crashes when I try to start it. Running it from the terminal gives me this error: http://pastebin.com/d6a4bda95. Invoking sudo bypasses the Gio error. [23:35] install* [23:35] BlackBeast: there's no automated way to do so AFAIK, but you should be able to get back to the origin by resizing the partition using a livecd, and then run an fdisk -mbr to restore the boot record from a windows recovery prompt [23:35] Can anyone help me decipher this error I am getting when I try to update? http://paste.ubuntu.com/120351/ Thanks! [23:35] does clamav have a GUI? [23:35] BlackBeast: ah, if you just want to install windows, just format the drive [23:36] BlackBeast: better ask in #windows, though [23:36] jj_galvez: in that case you might run "sudo dpkg -r to remove it and try reinstalling it again .. what package is causing the trouble by the way ? might be a bug on it, hard to tell without more info i suppose ...

[23:37] its dev sdf tho [23:37] Blackbeast: its recommended to buy a legal copy of Windows on a disc in order to get all future most necessary security update on the MS-OS [23:37] BlackBeast: if you can boot to recovery root console you may be able to do whatever it is from command line. [23:37] Ienorand: that mibbit link probably won't lead anywhere [23:37] DJNomad: try the mount command with /dev/sdf1 [23:37] him: yes, theres 38 people there #clamav [23:37] if you not want pay for the OS stick with linux :D [23:38] is the mount command "mount"?

[23:43] is there a way to list all partitions on the command line? [23:43] DJNomad: you can use xfce IN ubuntu instead of the default GNOME / KDE [23:43] yeah but that desktop environment is suppose to be faster than gnome [23:43] l337ingDisorder: sudo fdisk -l [23:43] i need the advice of a X11 pro [23:43] DJNomad: ever tried a terminal window?

[23:44] jj_galvez: it installed cleanly and here it does show up properly in synaptic ... did you install the .deb manually or via double-clicking ? [23:45] i tried lxde too [23:45] l337ingDisorder: it will show the disk, then sda1, sda2 etc for each disk [23:45] Brandano: can you give me a link with the last live CD? [23:45] i have to admit the packages available for fluxbox on ubuntu suck. [23:45] ActionParsnip1: can I /msg you? [23:45] DJNomad: i use fluxbox, its way more configurable than xfce [23:45] l337ingDisorder: cat /proc/partitions [23:45] l337ingDisorder: sure [23:45] i want to set up my laptop and desktop to act like 1 computer with 2 screens [23:45] glitsj16: double clicking initially, then manually after doing the dpkg -r thing [23:45] BlackBeast: probably. I'd have to go to www.ubuntu.com and browse a bit, though... [23:45] Hi, I torrent downloaded ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso.... is this not the alternate install CD? The installation looks the same as the normal CD! [23:45] i have just barely tried flux [23:46] how do i enable my geforce card? [23:46] specifically window drag/drop functions and shared clipboard [23:46] IntuitiveNipple: that's getting closer but still lists the major, minor, and #blocks... all I want is the partition names [23:46] i used xfce for a bitabout a week or 2 [23:46] jj_galvez: odd indeed, still nothing showing up i take it ? [23:46] i liked how its panel floated [23:46] DJNomad: try putting my name at the start of the line, so it highlights like i highlight yours [23:46] l337ingDisorder, ls /dev/[sh]d[a-z]* [23:46] not takin up any room [23:46] BlackBeast: then find the link, copy it here, paste it... by the time I am done you could have already started to download it...

Invoking sudo bypasses the Gio error. [23:46] but I'd like to be able to run the monitor from the Gnome menu [23:46] glitsj16: nothing, really odd, like I said I did the same thing at home and its showing up in synaptic as it should there, just not on this computer at work [23:47] unop: Woah that's pretty much exactly what I need! Any way to have it return them on individual lines? [23:47] l337ingDisorder: pipe it through cut [23:47] l337ingDisorder, ls -1 /dev/[sh]d[a-z]* [23:47] if you have multiple detached screens, when you type screen -r which one does it retach to? [23:47] ActionParsnip1 k will tdo [23:47] attach that is [23:48] enlightenment is good but schizophrenic [23:48] KevDog, : why ? [23:49] jj_galvez: i'm afraid i can't really think of anything else to try ... might be different synaptic preferences between those machines, that's a longshot guess .. goodluck :) [23:49] DJNomad: makes it easier ina room of 1400 users [23:49] unop you're a maniac! Thanks a million, that's exactly what I need [23:49] I have a weird problem. When I do large amounts of transfer on a cheap SD media card I picked up, something bad happens and the write fails. [23:49] l337ingDisorder, maniac? i almost resent that :) [23:49] e17 is basically in svn code -- which for the most part is stable, however depending on how you are applying your updates, sometimes things break!

Can't you just boot windows in safe mode? [23:59] eli_: Have you gone to their channel / mailing list / whatever and asked them about that? [23:59] l337ingDisorder: Remember that not all devices will have a UUID [23:59] IntuitiveNipple, they should .... [23:59] nikrud: but don't always, depends on their heritage [23:59] IntuitiveNipple: I see... so for part in /dev/{[sh]d[a-z][0-9]*,dm-*}; do echo -n "$part "; done; echo would be the way to go then...
